Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. ("Starwood" or the "Company") today reported EPS from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2004 of $0.51 compared to $0.42 in the fourth quarter of 2003. Excluding special items, primarily related to a $15 million (after-tax) net loss on the sale of assets and the impairment of a hotel and an investment, EPS from continuing operations was $0.57 for the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $0.42 in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Net income (after discontinued operations) was $100 million and EPS was $0.46 in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $87 million and EPS of $0.42 in the fourth quarter of 2003. Selling, general, administrative and other in the fourth quarter of 2004 includes cost of sales from our new Bliss spa and beauty products business (the revenue from this business is included in management fees, franchise fees and other income). The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2004 was 1.7%. The tax rate and thereby income from continuing operations benefited from the reversal of $13 million of tax reserves as a result of the resolution of certain tax matters during the quarter.
Steven J. Heyer, CEO, said: "I'm very pleased with our industry-leading top and bottom line performance. Clearly the top line was helped in part by our well-located urban concentration of owned assets, but it is just as clear that we are enjoying significant share gains versus our competitive set, beyond that explained by location, owing to the resurgence and effectiveness of our brands. The top line gains are broad based, throughout North America and around the world, and ADR increases were more than 70% of our REVPAR increase.
Flow-through increased markedly as a result of the strong ADR increases, our productivity initiatives and a turnaround in the workers compensation issues of last year. Workers comp incidents were down more than 30% in 2004 versus 2003.
Meanwhile, our brand composition, innovation, identity and positioning efforts continue as we work to increase their value. The strength, value and potential of our brands is something we must capitalize on in the future."
Operating Results:
Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2004
Cash flow from operations was $201 million compared to $260 million in 2003.

Total Company Adjusted EBITDA was $327 million compared to $271 million in 2003.

Gross online dollar bookings represented approximately 10% of the overall gross dollar bookings, with 72% of that coming from our proprietary branded websites.
Vacation Ownership and Residential
Vacation ownership and residential revenue, which excludes gains on sales of notes receivable, was up $85 million, or 75.9% to $197 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 when compared to 2003 primarily due to residential sales at the St. Regis Museum Tower in San Francisco and vacation ownership sales at our resorts in Aspen, Maui, Orlando and Scottsdale. Contract sales, excluding fractional sales at the St. Regis Aspen and residential sales at the St. Regis in San Francisco, were up 28.4%. The average price per timeshare unit sold increased approximately 3.9% to $20,447, and the number of contracts signed increased approximately 23.6% in the fourth quarter of 2004 when compared to 2003.
In December 2004, the Company completed the conversion of 98 guest rooms at the St. Regis in Aspen, Colorado into 25 fractional units, which are being sold in four week intervals, and 20 new hotel rooms. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company began selling condominiums at the St. Regis Museum Tower which is under construction in San Francisco, and recognized revenues of approximately $15 million.
In addition to its robust pipeline of existing vacation ownership inventory, the Company continues to evaluate its existing owned real estate for potential conversion to vacation ownership, fractional, or residential projects. The Company is also working with its business partners to develop similar conversion opportunities at managed hotels. The Company has identified a significant number of projects which could supply the vacation ownership and residential pipeline with sales at or above its current levels for at least ten years.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company sold $25 million of notes receivable and recognized gains of $3 million as compared to gains of $9 million in the same period of 2003. New development planning continues for the owned Sheraton Kauai, the owned land at the Princeville resort in Kauai, the owned Sheraton Cancun, as well as other Mexico properties, and a second phase at the Westin Mission Hills Resort.
Brand Development/Unit Growth
During the fourth quarter, the Company signed 20 full service hotel management and franchise contracts (representing approximately 5,200 rooms) including the Westin Bellevue (Bellevue, Washington, 337 rooms), W LA Sunset (Los Angeles, California , 164 rooms), Sheraton Oran (Oran, Algeria, 321 rooms) and Sheraton Haikou Resort (China, 330 rooms), and opened 9 new hotels and resorts, including Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort (Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, 521 rooms), Sheraton Read House Chattanooga Hotel (Chattanooga, Tennessee, 249 rooms), and Sheraton Old San Juan (San Juan, Puerto Rico, 240 rooms). Additionally during the fourth quarter 11 properties (representing approximately 2,800 rooms) were removed from the system (6 Four Points and 5 Sheratons.) The Company expects to open approximately 40 new full-service hotels and resorts (approximately 9,000 rooms) around the world in 2005. The Company had approximately 160 full service hotels and approximately 42,000 rooms in its active global development pipeline at December 31, 2004, with roughly half of that number in international locations. Additionally, during the fourth quarter, the Company opened the new Bliss spa at the W New York (20,000 square feet) and our first Remede Spa at the St. Regis in Aspen (15,000 square feet). In 2005, the Company plans to open 3 new Bliss spas in W hotels in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago and 2 new Remede Spas in St. Regis hotels in San Francisco and New York with several others in various planning stages.
Results for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2004:

Cash flow from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 was $578 million compared to $771 million in the same period of 2003. The decrease primarily relates to the increase in restricted cash of $257 million, primarily related to pre-sales of vacation ownership interests. A substantial portion of this restricted cash will be released upon issuance of the certificate of occupancy for Phase 2 of the Westin Ka'anapali project which is expected to be received in the third quarter of 2005. Total Company Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 was $1.150 billion, compared to $917 million (excluding sold hotels) in the same period in 2003.

Outlook:
All comments in the following paragraphs and certain comments in this release above are deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements reflect expectations of the Company's performance given its current base of assets and its current understanding of external economic and geo-political environments. Actual results may differ materially.
For the three months ended March 31, 2005, excluding the effects of the Share-Based Payment amendment to FASB Statement No. 123, if REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America increases approximately 6% - 8% versus the same period in 2004 (in January 2005 REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America increased 9.5% when compared to the same period in 2004):
- Adjusted EBITDA would be expected to be approximately $275 million, an increase of 24% when compared to the same period of 2004.
- Net income would be expected to be approximately $66 million, an increase of 100% when compared to income from continuing operations before special items in the first quarter of 2004.
- EPS would be expected to be $0.30, an increase of 88% when compared to EPS from continuing operations before special items in the first quarter of 2004.
First quarter REVPAR is currently expected to increase less than full year 2005 REVPAR due primarily to the timing of the Easter and Passover holidays. In 2005 both holidays are in March, while in 2004 both holidays were in April.
For the full year 2005, excluding the effects of the Share-Based Payment amendment to FASB Statement No. 123, if REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America increases approximately 8% - 10% versus the full year 2004:
- Full year revenues, including other revenues from managed and franchised properties, would be expected to be approximately $5.9 billion.
- Full year Adjusted EBITDA would be expected to increase approximately 17.4% to approximately $1.350 billion, when compared to 2004 Adjusted EBITDA of $1.150 billion.
- Full year net income would be expected to be approximately $440 million at a 24% effective tax rate, which assumes an annual dividend of $0.84 per Share (payable in January 2006), when compared to 2004 income from continuing operations before special items of approximately $348 million at a 13.9% effective tax rate.
- Full year EPS would be expected to increase approximately 23.4% to $2.00 when compared to 2004 EPS from continuing operations before special items of $1.62.
- Full year capital expenditures (excluding timeshare inventory) would be approximately $600 million, including $300 million for maintenance, renovation and technology, approximately $100 million for the completion of the St. Regis San Francisco multi-use project under construction, and $200 million for other growth initiatives. Additionally, net capital expenditures for timeshare inventory would be approximately $100 million.
- For the full year the Company expects cash interest expense of approximately $285 million and cash taxes of approximately $50 million.
Special Items:
The Company recorded net charges of $12 million (after-tax) for special items in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $1 million of net benefit (after-tax) in the same period of 2003.
Special items in the fourth quarter of 2004 primarily relate to the net loss or impairment on hotels and an investment totaling $15 million (after-tax), offset in part by the $3 million reversal of tax reserves no longer deemed necessary.
The following represents a reconciliation of income from continuing operations before special items to income from continuing operation after special items (in millions, except per share data):

(a) During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company reversed a
$37 million reserve previously recorded through restructuring and
other special charges due to a favorable judgment in a litigation
matter. During the three and twelve months ended December 31,
2003, the Company received $12 million in a favorable settlement
of a litigation matter. This credit was offset by an increase of
$13 million in a reserve for legal defense costs associated with a
separate litigation matter. Additionally, during the three and
twelve month periods ending December 31, 2003, the Company
reversed a $9 million liability that was originally established in
1997 for the ITT Excess Pension Plan and is no longer required as
the Company finalized the settlement of its remaining obligations
associated with the plan.
(b) Represents adjustments to the Company's share of costs for
construction remediation efforts at a property owned by a vacation
ownership unconsolidated joint venture that were previously
recorded in 2002.
(c) For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004,
respectively, reflects the loss on the sale or impairment of
hotels and an investment offset, in part, by the gain on sale of
one of the Company's hotels. For the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2003 primarily represents the loss on the sale or
impairment of 18 hotels.
(d) Represents taxes on special items at the Company's incremental tax
rate.
(e) Tax benefits in the three and twelve months ended December 31,
2004 and 2003 reflect the favorable results of certain changes to
the Federal tax rules, the resolution of various tax matters that
were successfully settled during these periods, or reversal of tax
reserves no longer deemed necessary.

(a) The Company includes in revenues the reimbursement of costs
incurred on behalf of managed hotel property owners and
franchisees with no added margin and includes in costs and
expenses these reimbursed costs. These costs relate primarily
to payroll costs at managed properties where the Company is
the employer.
(b) Interest expense is net of $0 and $7 million of discontinued
operations allocations for the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2003, respectively.
(c) For 2003, the Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan, Italy
("Principe") is reported as a discontinued operation as a
result of the sale of this hotel in June 2003 with no
continuing involvement.
(d) Activity in the three and twelve months ended December 31,
2004 primarily represents the adjustments to the tax liability
associated with the successful resolution of certain
contingencies and the reversal of reserves that are no longer
required as the related contingencies have been resolved, both
of which are related to the 1999 divestiture of the Company's
gaming business. Activity in the year ended December 31, 2003
primarily relates to a $194 million (pre-tax) gain recorded in
connection with the sale of the Principe in June 2003.
