NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 28, 2017 — 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016.
Colin Reed, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “Our businesses delivered fourth quarter 2016 results that were in line with our expectations going into the quarter and contributed to another record year for our company from a total revenue, net income, Adjusted EBITDA, and hospitality gross group bookings perspective. Full year 2016 results for these measures exceeded last year’s performance by 5.2 percent, 42.9 percent, 7.7 percent, and 9.9 percent, respectively.
We closed fourth quarter 2016 with gross group bookings results that nearly matched our record Q4 2015 production. This strong close solidified 2016 as the best gross room night production year in brand history. We began 2017 with 6.4 million gross room nights on the books for all future years, which, in addition to being a new high-water mark for the brand, is further indication that the group market is alive and well. We remain confident in our market position and the outlook for this segment. While overall industry supply according to STR is expected to grow by a modest 2.0 percent and 2.2 percent in 2017 and 2018, respectively, the demand for hotels of our size and group-oriented nature is robust with little new competitive supply in the pipeline for the foreseeable future.”
