Loss from continuing operations was $(12.9) million, compared to $(5.6) million in 2007, due primarily to impairment losses of $9.5 million recorded during 2008 compared to $1.6 million of impairment losses recorded during 2007.

Management Comments

"The recession gained significant momentum in the fourth quarter," said Peter Cyrus, Lodgian interim president and chief executive officer. "While our RevPAR was down for both the fourth quarter and the full year, we outperformed the industry as a whole. We improved our market share, reflected by a 1.9 percent increase in the RevPAR index for our continuing operations hotels for the full year and a strong 3.9 percent improvement in the fourth quarter.

"Our continuing operations portfolio is generally in good condition and should compete effectively in each respective market," he noted. "We completed $43.3 million in renovations in 2008, but have only $25.7 million budgeted for 2009. These capital expenditures are for completion of renovations for recently renewed license extensions and for other necessary projects."

Asset Disposition Program

During the year, Lodgian sold five hotels for gross proceeds of $25.0 million. Of the net proceeds, $7.5 million was used for debt reduction and the remainder for general corporate purposes.

As of December 31, 2008, a total of six properties remained classified as held for sale and were in varying stages of the sale process.

Balance Sheet Update

Of the 35 continuing operations hotels, 33 were encumbered by mortgage debt as of December 31, 2008. Additionally, two held for sale hotels were encumbered. These 35 hotels served as collateral for various mortgage debt facilities totaling $332.6 million at December 31, 2008. During 2008, Lodgian paid down its mortgage debt by $26.8 million, or 7.5 percent of the outstanding debt, through a combination of defeasance, asset sales and principal amortization. A summary of mortgage debt facilities is included in the supplemental information attached to this release.

Lodgian has approximately $128 million of mortgage debt maturing in July 2009. This maturity cannot be extended without the approval of the loan servicers, which extension has been requested but not yet granted. In an effort to refinance the debt prior to the maturity date, the company retained Jones Lang LaSalle in 2008 to assist in refinancing the debt.

"We are looking at all options, including working with national and international lenders on a portfolio and individual property basis, but to date we have been unable to secure refinancing," said James MacLennan, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "To assist this refinancing effort, we are also seeking financing on certain unencumbered assets."

In addition to the July 2009 maturity, the company has three other 2009 debt maturities which in the aggregate total approximately $169.5 million of mortgage debt. Each of these debt facilities has extension options of one to three years, and the company expects to exercise those extension options.

During 2008, Lodgian acquired approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of $9.27 per share, for a total of approximately $19.3 million. The company did not acquire any stock in the 2008 fourth quarter.

At year-end 2008, Lodgian had $28.6 million in unrestricted and restricted cash on its balance sheet, as well as $11.4 million held by lenders for various capital expenditure projects.

Conference Call

Lodgian will hold a conference call to discuss its 2008 fourth quarter and full year results today, February 25, at 11 a.m. Eastern time. To hear the webcast, interested parties may visit the company's website at www.lodgian.com and click on Investor Relations and then Webcast, Q4 Earnings Conference Call. A recording of the call will be available by telephone until midnight on Wednesday, March 4 by dialing (800) 866-7991, reference number 11124773. A replay of the conference call will be posted on Lodgian's website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The historical non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in the schedules attached to this press release.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and should not be used as a substitute for measures such as net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, or other measures computed in accordance with GAAP. The company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure its performance and to assist in the assessment of hotel property values. EBITDA is also a widely used industry measure which Lodgian believes provides pertinent information to investors and is an additional indicator of the company's operating performance.

The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the effects of certain charges such as impairment losses; restructuring expenses; gains/losses on debt extinguishment; and casualty losses or gains related to damage to and insurance recoveries for properties damaged by events such as hurricane, fire or flood.

RevPAR Index

RevPAR Index is computed by dividing the company's RevPAR for a particular period by the market's RevPAR over the same period. To derive the market's RevPAR, we identify the hotels that the company considers to be competing hotels for each market in which the company operates. The group of hotels in each market is known as the competitive set. We then obtain RevPAR for each competitive set from Smith Travel Research, a leading provider of lodging industry data. We believe that RevPAR Index is a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures out hotels in relation to our competitors. We use RevPAR Index to determine if our hotels are increasing market share, which is one of our key business objectives.
