For the trailing 12 months ended Sept. 30, the hotel’s net loss was $1.2 million, its net operating income was $2.2 million, and its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization was $2.7 million. The $68.5 million sales price reflects a 25.0x EBITDA multiple and a 3.2 percent net operating income capitalization rate (assuming a capital reserve of 4.0 percent of total hotel revenues).
Year to date, the company has completed $300.8 million of property dispositions comprised of six property sales. The $300.8 million aggregate sales proceeds reflect a combined 21.8x EBITDA multiple and a 3.8 percent net operating income capitalization rate (assuming a capital reserve of 4.0 percent of total hotel revenues) based on the trailing 12-month performance prior to the completion of each respective sale, or the trailing 12-month performance ended Sept. 30 in the case of Hotel Zoe.
Proceeds from the sale of Hotel Zoe Fisherman’s Wharf will be used for general corporate purposes, including reducing the company’s outstanding debt and repurchasing the company’s common and preferred shares.
