New Growth Capital Earmarked for Specific New Property Launches to Drive Further Growth of LuxUrban’s Asset Light Business Model

Company Increases 2023 Net Rental Revenue and EBITDA Guidance

February 13, 2023 07:30 AM Eastern Standard Time
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LuxUrban Hotels Inc. (Nasdaq: LUXH) (or “the Company”), which utilizes a long-term lease, asset-light business model to acquire and manage a growing portfolio of short-term rental properties in major metropolitan cities, announced today that it has entered into an amended Revenue Share Agreement (“RSA”) with its lenders that will immediately increase the Company’s growth capital by $5 million through the elimination and conversion of certain payment obligations. As a result, the Company is increasing 2023 EBITDA projections by $5 million.

“We appreciate Greenle’s willingness to amend the terms of the RSA and are grateful for their continued support”

Among the terms included in the amended RSA, in exchange for the termination of an aggregate $5 million in cash payments that the Company had been obligated to pay Greenle Partners LLC Series Alpha P.S and Greenle Partners LLC Series Beta P.S (collectively, “Greenle”) for the last quarter of 2022 and all quarters in 2023 in connection with the Revenue Share rights granted to Greenle by the Company with respect to certain of the Company’s properties, the Company shall issue to Greenle an aggregate 2,457,002 shares of unregistered common stock at specified dates and amounts ending January 1, 2024. The common stock will be issued to Greenle at an effective price of $2.035 per share, which is equal to 110% the last sale market price reported by Nasdaq on February 10, 2023, and 119% of the average last sale market prices of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period through and including such date.

“We appreciate Greenle’s willingness to amend the terms of the RSA and are grateful for their continued support,” said Brian Ferdinand, Chairman and CEO of LuxUrban Hotels. “We believe that the restructuring of these cash payment obligations into equity by these sophisticated lenders demonstrates their faith in our ability to deliver long-term value for all shareholders, while validating our growth and vision for the future. The Revenue Share model applied only to our unaffiliated pre-IPO investors on a limited number of our current properties and is accounted for within our revised EBITDA projections. We are now able to deploy up to $5 million of this newly available capital towards specific new property launches to drive further growth via our asset light business model. We currently have 18 short-term stay hotel properties under long-term lease in five cities across the United States and are pursuing a robust pipeline of inventory. We are confident that this transaction, the previously announced debt to equity conversions, and the current trajectory of our business will allow us to utilize projected cash flows to substantially reduce or potentially eliminate our debt in 2023, while still meeting our projected growth targets. We continue to look forward to our future with confidence.”

Additional terms and details regarding the amended RSA shall be available in a Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about February 13, 2023.

Increases 2023 Net Revenue and EBITDA Guidance

For the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company is increasing its guidance for net rental revenue to a range of $115 to $120 million, and EBIDTA to a range of $21 to $25 million, an increase from the Company’s prior guidance for net rental revenue in a range of $100 to $110 million, and EBITDA in a range of $16 to $20 million.

The Company also reiterated its previously issued guidance for the year ended December 31, 2022 for net rental revenue in a range of $42 to $46 million and EBITDA in a range of $7 to $9 million.

Enters New Credit Card Processing Relationship

November 08, 2022 08:01 AM Eastern Standard Time
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LuxUrban Hotels Inc. (or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LUXH), which utilizes a long-term lease, asset-light business model to acquire and manage a growing portfolio of short-term rental properties in major metropolitan cities, announced today net revenue and EBITDA guidance for the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2023, and the engagement of a new credit card processing company that, among other benefits, will reduce processing fees by approximately 400 bps and result in the release to the Company of approximately $5.5 million in retained funds over the next 12 months.

“The approximately 1,200 units that are currently in operation have been fully funded”

“We are very excited at the pace of our ongoing shift to acquiring, via long-term Master Lease Agreements, short-term rental hotel units in destination cities,” said Brian Ferdinand, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We have good visibility into the anticipated performance metrics across our portfolio for the balance of 2022 and 2023. We believe that we are well-positioned to continue to execute our growth strategy in a thoughtful and impactful manner that will, over time, improve our margins, generate sustainable cash flow, and enhance overall profitability.”

Guidance: 2022-2023 Net Revenue and EBITDA

For the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company is providing the following guidance:

Full Year 2022 (based on its current operating portfolio of approximately 1,200 short-term rental hotel units): Net revenue of $42 - $46 million, and EBITDA of $7 - $9 million.
Full Year 2023: Net revenue of $100 - $110 million, and EBITDA of $16 - $20 million, based on its expectation that it will operate approximately 1,500 short-term rental hotel units by or around December 31, 2022.
In addition to the existing and anticipated additional units discussed above, this guidance is based on, among other factors, the Company’s current business, economic, and public health conditions; the status of its acquisition pipeline and its ability to close on these potential acquisitions; and its current view of forward-looking unit operating metrics.

“The approximately 1,200 units that are currently in operation have been fully funded,” Mr. Ferdinand continued. “We are committed to funding our foreseeable growth in a non-dilutive manner. To that end, the additional units we expect to have in operation by year-end 2022 will be funded by a combination of anticipated operating cash flows we are beginning to see in the 2022 fourth quarter and our existing debt facility, $2.5 million of which is currently available.”

The Company’s guidance is based on current plans and expectations and is subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, including those set forth below under “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Engages New Credit Card Processor

The Company has engaged a new credit card processing company, which it expects to be fully operational across its portfolio by or around November 30, 2022. The new relationship allows the Company to secure credit card processing across its portfolio of properties without reserves and reduces the associated processing expenses by approximately 400 bps compared to its former processor relationships. As a result of this new relationship the Company’s former credit card processors will release to the Company approximately $5.5 million in retained funds over the next 12 months.

The Company seeks to achieve profitable, long-term growth by monitoring and analyzing key operating metrics, including EBITDA. The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, and depreciation. The Company’s management uses this non-GAAP financial metric and related computations to evaluate and manage the business and to plan and make near and long-term operating and strategic decisions. The management team believes this non-GAAP financial metric is useful to investors to provide supplemental information in addition to the GAAP financial results. Management reviews the use of its primary key operating metrics from time-to-time. EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure and as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry. The Company’s management team believes it is useful to provide investors with the same financial information that it uses internally to make comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in underlying operating results, and evaluate its business.

The Company has historically calculated, and plans in the future to calculate, EBITDA as follows: net income or loss, adjusted for the provision for taxes, interest and financing costs, further adjusted for depreciation and amortization (including the amortization of debt discounts and stock compensation expense). For purposes of the guidance provided herein, however, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures for future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
