Alliance Hospitality surpasses Industry Expectations
with 2011 financial results
According to data released by Smith Travel Research, Alliance Hospitality managed hotels reported annual growth in revenue per available room of 9.7 percent in 2011. Hotels in the competitive market achieved revenue per available room growth of only 8.1 percent, and the total U.S. hotel market reported revenue per available room growth of 8.2 percent. The Alliance Hospitality portfolio of managed hotels reported 69.1 percent occupancy for 2011, representing 7.1 percent more rooms sold compared to 2010. Hotels in the competitive market reported 66.6 percent occupancy for 2011, a growth of only 3.6 percent. The total U.S. market reported occupancy growth of 4.3 percent to finish 2011 at 60.1 percent occupancy.
Although Alliance Hospitality portfolio hotels operated 7.1 percent more rooms in 2011 generating 9.7 percent higher revenues, a focus on variable expense reduction resulted in a growth of gross operating profit of 10.1 percent. Renegotiation of other fixed expenses in 2011 also realized significant savings for the portfolio. These factors contributed to 76 percent surplus of net income compared to 2010.
In October 2011, Alliance Hospitality was honored at the IHG Americas Investors & Leadership Conference in Las Vegas, when presented with the prestigious Torchbearer Award for the second year in a row for the performance of Holiday Inn & Suites Green Bay Stadium. The Torchbearer Award recognizes hotels that achieve the highest level of excellence in all aspects of operation, from quality to customer service. The Holiday Inn portfolio of Alliance Hospitality reported aggregate growth of competitive market share or RevPAR Index of 9.3 percent in 2011, resulting in year over year growth of guestroom revenue of 17.5 percent.
Remarking on the 2011 financial performance of the Alliance Hospitality portfolio of hotels, Rolf Tweeten, President and CEO said, "In 2011 we saw further improvement to the challenging operating environment that the hospitality industry has experienced with the most recent economic downturn. As the economy and demand improved, the Alliance Hospitality portfolio expanded its lead against competing hotels as part of our company-wide initiative focused on improving productivity and profitability in order to deliver greater value to our guests and stronger returns for our investors. Alliance Hospitality continues to be very successful in adding new clients, both personal and institutional; and we continue to invest in additional resources, people, and technology for our organization to consistently deliverthe exceptional financial results and superior service level our clients expect as Alliance Hospitality continues to grow.

Strong results reported for Q2 2011
Alliance 28.2% higher than National Average
Raleigh, NC (AllianceHospitality.com) August 8, 2011 - Alliance Hospitality, a hotel management company based in Raleigh, North Carolina, today reported operating results for the second quarter 2011. Ryan Gosdin, Vice President of Sales & Marketing commented, "For Q2 2011, we again exceeded the RevPAR growth of both our competitors and the national market by a double-digit margin as we experienced in the first quarter. At Alliance Hospitality we take pride in our consistent history of delivering superior results, and we remain committed to providing our portfolio of hotels the highest caliber of support and business intelligence in the hospitality industry to build upon our established reputation of exceptional performance."
For the three month period ending June 2011, the Alliance Hospitality portfolio of hotels outperformed competitive set hotels by 17.1 percent and the total U.S. market by 9.9 percent in guestroom revenue growth compared to the same period in 2010 according to data released by Smith Travel Research.
For the first half of 2011, Alliance Hospitality reported guestroom revenue growth 28.2 percent higher than competitive set hotels and the national average. Year to Date ending June 2011, the Alliance Hospitality portfolio of hotels reported a 10.9 percent increase in guestroom revenue compared to the same period in 2010. Both the total U.S. market and competitive set hotels reported guestroom revenue growth of 8.5 percent year-over-year.
Occupancy rates for the Alliance Hospitality portfolio of hotels increased by 4.2 percent year-over-year with 77.7 percent of available rooms occupied for June 2011, and average daily rates grew by 5.7 percent compared to the same period in 2010. Year-over-year revenue per available room growth of 10.1 percent for the managed hotel portfolio exceeded the total U.S. market growth of 7.8 percent for June 2011.
The Alliance Hospitality portfolio of hotels reported total revenue growth for all outlets of 11 percent for the first half of 2011 when compared to the same time last year. Net Income for the portfolio for the same period reported a year-over-year increase of 81.8 percent.

Regarding the future expansion plan for the Alliance Hospitality portfolio of hotels, Rolf Tweeten, Chairman and CEO said, "There are many Third Party Management Companies in the hospitality industry whose growth strategy involves the addition of hotel properties by any means necessary, even if it involves the direct purchase or acquisition of management contracts from other entities. These companies can rapidly increase the number of properties managed, however they are unprepared for the rapid growth and cannot adequately provide support to the properties, thus negatively impacting the performance of the assets. At Alliance Hospitality, we carefully evaluate our ability to positively impact a property and form a comprehensive takeover plan if the hotel or hotels meet our criteria for smart portfolio growth. We take pride in our reputation as a successful hotel management company, and our results allow us to be selective in our opportunities for growth. Currently, we are in the process of transitioning into our portfolio two upper-upscale hotels and a separate conference center, and four additional hotels are scheduled to join the portfolio in the next 90 days."
