    • Under the base case (7%): RevPOR  = $207 with Net House profit margins increasing to $51MM; in which case, total incentive fees would increase to $110MM
    • When owners invest more money in the hotel (renovations/ etc) hurdle is increased
    • Newly owned hotels take 2-3% to earn and owners priority
  • In 2010, only 5% of their NA limited service hotels are expected to pay owner’s priority
    • Because they are in large portfolios where results are pooled before paying an owner’s priority
    • More supply coming online
    • Required capex investments by owners
    • Expect that in base case scenario 21% of their limited service hotels will pay fees
  • International incentive fees:      
    • 57% paying in 2010 (58% in 09, 61% in 2007)
    • Expect by 2013 – 64% will pay under base case

    • 25% paying in 2010 (flat to 2009)
    • 43% expected to pay by 2013 (base)
  • NA incentive fees:
    • $65MM in 2010

    • Net of expense growth expected to go from $90MM to $145-$230MM
  • Owned and Lease only (almost all leased):

    • Net debt issuance: $1.2-2.3BN
    • Gives them: $3.3-5.3BN for stock buybacks
    • Which means that they can reduce their share count from 378 to 349-320 by 2013
  • Expect to generate a return on invested capital of 21-28% and EPS growth CAGR of 20-36%
    • and think that there is upside from even better REVPAR or the incremental tentative 22,000 rooms that they can potentially add to their system

Q&A

  • Assume that at the midpoint of the share buyback accounts for $0.05 of the buyback
  • Assume 2.5-3% GDP growth for their 7% RevPAR forecast (+/- 2% for low end and high end of their forecast for GDP)
  • $500-900MM is their stock compensation plan
  • Timeshare is not going to consume any capital above the cash that they generate from sales
  • The share counts post buyback were weighted for 2013
  • Don’t know why they add back the cost of their timeshare financing to calculate their cash flow
