Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (November 4, 2024) - Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RHP), a lodging real estate investment trust ("REIT") specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban and resort markets, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights and Recent Developments:

The Company generated record third quarter net income of $60.4 million and record third quarter consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre of $174.8 million.
Reported record third quarter consolidated revenue of $550.0 million, driven by record third quarter Hospitality revenue and record third quarter Entertainment revenue.
Same-store1 Hospitality segment achieved record third quarter operating income of $92.8 million and record third quarter Adjusted EBITDAre of $142.0 million.
During the quarter, the Company booked over 581,000 same-store Gross Definite Room Nights for all future years, at an estimated average daily rate (ADR) for future bookings of $282, an increase of 5.2% over Q3 2023 estimated ADR for future bookings and a third quarter record.
The Company is revising its full year 2024 guidance, including lowering its same-store Hospitality RevPAR and Total RevPAR growth, as well as consolidated operating income and Adjusted EBITDAre, to account for continued leisure transient softness in Nashville and Orlando, disruption from Hurricane Milton and incremental disruption from capital investment projects underway. The Company is raising its full year 2024 outlook for adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) primarily to reflect lower expected cash interest expense.
The Company declared a cash dividend of $1.15 per share for the fourth quarter of 2024, a 4.5% increase from the third quarter dividend of $1.10. The dividend is payable on January 15, 2025, to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2024.

Mark Fioravanti, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, "Building on our solid second quarter performance, we are pleased with our third quarter results in both of our businesses. We delivered record third quarter consolidated revenue, net income, operating income and Adjusted EBITDAre driven by record third quarter same-store ADR and Total RevPAR. Our outlook for group demand remains strong, evidenced by record projected group rooms revenue for all future years, which gives us the confidence to raise our dividend this quarter."

1 Same-Store Hospitality segment excludes JW Marriott Hill Country, which was acquired June 30, 2023.

Fioravanti continued, "Our major capital investment activity in our Entertainment segment is nearing completion: we opened Category 10 on November 2nd to a positive early reception, and we expect to complete the renovation of the W Austin Hotel at Block 21 by year-end. With the benefit of these investments, together with our exciting plans for "Opry 100," the year-long centennial celebration of the Grand Ole Opry, we believe OEG is poised to deliver strong results in 2025 and beyond."

2024 Guidance

Fioravanti concluded, "We are pleased to increase our full year 2024 outlook for AFFO, while adopting a more conservative outlook, including for same-store Hospitality RevPAR and Total RevPAR growth, consolidated operating income and Adjusted EBITDAre to account for continued leisure transient softness, disruption from Hurricane Milton and incremental disruption from our capital investment projects underway. We remain as confident as ever in the long-term strength of our businesses and the anticipated high-return investments we are making in our portfolio that we believe will generate meaningful value for our guests and shareholders in the years to come."

The Company is updating its 2024 business performance outlook based on current information as of November 4, 2024. The Company does not expect to update the guidance provided below before next quarter's earnings release. However, the Company may update its full business outlook or any portion thereof at any time for any reason.

Additional Information

This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Copies of our reports are available on our website at no expense at www.rymanhp.com and through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System ("EDGAR") at www.sec.gov.

Calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR

We calculate revenue per available room ("RevPAR") for our hotels by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. We calculate total revenue per available room ("Total RevPAR") for our hotels by dividing the sum of room revenue, food & beverage, and other ancillary services revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. Hospitality metrics do not include the results of the W Austin, which is included in the Entertainment segment.

Calculation of GAAP Margin Figures

We calculate Net Income available to common stockholders margin by dividing GAAP consolidated Net Income available to common stockholders by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level Operating Income Margin by dividing consolidated, segment or property-level GAAP Operating Income by consolidated, segment or property-level GAAP Revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present the following non-GAAP financial measures we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance:

EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Definition

We calculate EBITDAre, which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in its September 2017 white paper as Net Income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change in control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the value of depreciated property of the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

Adjusted EBITDAre is then calculated as EBITDAre, plus to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

preopening costs;
non-cash lease expense;
equity-based compensation expense;
impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;
credit losses on held-to-maturity securities;
transaction costs of acquisitions;
interest income on bonds;
loss on extinguishment of debt;
pension settlement charges;
pro rata Adjusted EBITDAre from unconsolidated joint ventures; and
any other adjustments we have identified herein.

We then exclude the pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDAre related to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture.

We use EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture and segment or property-level EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics, and that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of Net Income or Operating Income, as applicable, is beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of our operating performance. We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics.

Adjusted EBITDAre Margin and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin Definition

We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture by GAAP consolidated Total Revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre Margin by dividing consolidated, segment-, or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre by consolidated, segment-, or property-level GAAP Revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this non-GAAP financial measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by presenting a ratio showing the quantitative relationship between Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture and GAAP consolidated Total Revenue or segment or property-level GAAP Revenue, as applicable.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders Definition

The Company calculates FFO, which definition is clarified by NAREIT in its December 2018 white paper as Net Income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts), gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from a change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is

directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciated real estate held by the entity, income (loss) from consolidated joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interest, and pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures.

To calculate adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders, the Company then excludes, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

right-of-use asset amortization;
impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;
write-offs of deferred financing costs;
amortization of debt discounts or premiums and amortization of deferred financing costs;
loss on extinguishment of debt;
non-cash lease expense;
credit loss on held-to-maturity securities;
pension settlement charges;
additional pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures;
(gains) losses on other assets;
transaction costs on acquisitions;
deferred income tax expense (benefit); and
any other adjustments the Company has identified herein.

FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders and adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders exclude the ownership portion of the joint ventures not controlled or owned by the Company.

The Company presents adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders per diluted share/unit as a non-GAAP measure of its performance in addition to its net income available to common stockholders per diluted share (calculated in accordance with GAAP). The Company calculates adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders per diluted share/unit as its adjusted FFO (defined as set forth above) for a given operating period, as adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, divided by the number of diluted shares and units outstanding during such period.

The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the performance of its ongoing operations because each presents a measure of the Company's operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items, which the Company believes are not indicative of the performance of its underlying hotel properties. The Company believes that these items are more representative of its asset base than its ongoing

operations. The Company also uses these non-GAAP financial measures as measures in determining its results after considering the impact of its capital structure.

The Company cautions investors that non-GAAP financial measures it presents may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. The non-GAAP financial measures the Company presents, and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of the Company's Net Income, operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may include funds that may not be available for the Company's discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can enhance an investor's understanding of its results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as Net Income (Loss), Operating Income (Loss), or cash flow from operations.
