Disclosure regarding the non-GAAP financial measures in this release is included on pages 4 and 5. Disclosure regarding the Hotel Operating Profit Margin is included on page 5 of this release.

Transactions
Sales of Hotel Properties. In May 2009, the Company sold the 274-room Marriott Napa Valley for gross proceeds of $36.0 million. In June 2009, the Company sold the 292-room Marriott Riverside for gross proceeds of $19.3 million.
On July 31, 2009, the Company sold the 202-room Hyatt Suites Atlanta Northwest for gross proceeds of $8.5 million, which equates to 22.7x projected 2009 EBITDA.
The Company retained the proceeds from these sales as additional cash.
Exchangeable Senior Notes Tender Offer. In May 2009, pursuant to a previously announced tender offer, the Company purchased a total of $123.5 million in principal amount of the 4.60% exchangeable senior notes due 2027 (the "Senior Notes") for $89.0 million, including $2.0 million in interest, $1.9 million in related consents and $0.6 million in fees and costs. The repurchased Senior Notes were cancelled. In addition, the Company paid $1.2 million, including $0.3 million in fees and costs, for consents related to non-tendered Senior Notes. The Company wrote off $2.7 million in deferred financing fees and $7.3 million of the Senior Note discount, and recognized a net gain of $26.6 million on this early extinguishment of debt. The Company initially used available cash to fund this repurchase of the Senior Notes, and subsequently replaced such cash with proceeds from its equity offering completed in May 2009.
Equity Offering. In May 2009, the Company issued 20,700,000 shares of its common stock, including the underwriters' over-allotment of 2,700,000 shares, for net proceeds of $98.7 million. The Company used the net proceeds from this equity offering in part to replace cash used to repurchase its Senior Notes in May 2009, and to bolster its liquidity position.
Credit Facility Restructure. In June 2009, the Company amended its credit facility (the "amended credit facility"), reducing the facility's size from $200.0 million to $85.0 million. In addition, the amendment reduced the facility's minimum fixed charge coverage covenant from 1.50:1.00 to 1.00:1.00, with added flexibility to drop to 0.90:1.00 for up to four quarters, and eliminated the facility's 65% maximum total leverage covenant, replacing it with a 9.50:1.00 maximum net debt to EBITDA covenant, which may be increased to 10.50:1.00 for up to four quarters. The borrowing base collateral was reduced from an equity pledge on 10 hotels to secured mortgages on five hotels. The amended credit facility, has an interest rate based on grid pricing ranging from 375 - 525 basis points over LIBOR, and matures in 2012, assuming the exercise of a one-year extension option.
Secured Finance Initiatives. In June 2009, the Company ceased the subsidization of debt service on the $65.0 million non-recourse mortgage secured by its W San Diego hotel, which resulted in a default under the mortgage. The Company does not expect further negotiation with the special servicer, and the Company is prepared to convey the hotel to the lender in lieu of repayment of the debt. In conjunction with this expected conveyance, the Company has reclassified the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the W San Diego to "operations held for non-sale disposition" on its balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. The W San Diego is expected to generate approximately $1.4 million of Hotel EBITDA in 2009, and 2009 scheduled debt service on the hotel's mortgage is $4.0 million.
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company ceased the subsidization of debt service on the $29.5 million non-recourse mortgage for its Renaissance Westchester hotel. The Renaissance Westchester is expected to generate approximately $1.5 million of Hotel EBITDA in 2009, and 2009 scheduled debt service on the hotel's mortgage is $2.1 million. The Company has engaged lender's representatives for several of the Company's non-recourse loans, including the Westchester loan, in an effort to negotiate certain modifications to the loans rather than convey the subject hotels to the lenders, however no assurances can be given that such negotiations will be successful.
Balance Sheet/Liquidity Update
Ken Cruse, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "During the second quarter, we meaningfully improved our capital structure through a series of successful transactions, and as a result, we believe we maintain adequate liquidity and financial flexibility to emerge from the current downturn in a position of strength. We recognize that our ability to maintain continued access to the credit and equity markets is largely due to the strength of our lender and investor relationships."
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $240.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash of $44.9 million. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness under its $85.0 million amended credit facility, and had $3.5 million in outstanding irrevocable letters of credit backed by the credit facility. The Company continues to maintain a higher than historical cash balance in light of the ongoing economic downturn.
On June 30, 2009, excluding the W San Diego, total assets were $2.5 billion, including $2.2 billion of net investments in hotel properties, total debt was $1.5 billion and stockholders' equity was $0.9 billion.
Financial Covenants
The Company is subject to compliance with various covenants under both the amended credit facility and the terms of its outstanding Series C preferred stock. If the Company fails to meet certain of the amended credit facility's covenants (as described above), a default may occur, which may result in a reduction in, or the complete elimination of, funds available under the amended credit facility. If the Company fails to meet certain financial covenants for four consecutive quarters with respect to the Company's Series C preferred stock, a financial ratio violation will occur. If a financial ratio violation occurs, among other things, the Company would be restricted from paying dividends on its common stock, and may incur a 50 basis point per quarter dividend increase on the Series C preferred stock. Additionally, the Series C Preferred Stockholders would gain the right to appoint one board member. While a financial ratio violation does not currently exist, unless operations improve from current levels, the Company believes it may incur a financial ratio violation with respect to its Series C preferred stock during the second half of 2010.
Goodwill and Other Impairment Losses
During the second quarter of 2009, in light of the continuing decline in the economic environment, the Company determined that an intra-year impairment analysis should be performed as of June 30, 2009. In conjunction with this impairment evaluation and other analysis, the Company incurred a total of $131.9 million of goodwill and impairment losses. The goodwill and impairment losses included: (i) the write off of $1.1 million of goodwill associated with three hotels, including the Marriott Salt Lake City ($0.5 million), the Marriott Rochester Minnesota ($0.4 million), and the Holiday Inn Express San Diego ($0.2 million); (ii) a $64.5 million impairment loss on three hotels, including the Renaissance Westchester ($30.2 million), the Marriott Del Mar ($25.4 million) and the Marriott Ontario ($8.9 million); (iii) $64.9 million of impairment losses related to discontinued operations or operations held for non-sale disposition, including the Hyatt Suites Atlanta Northwest ($4.9 million) and the W San Diego ($60.0 million), respectively; and (iv) a $1.4 million impairment loss related to the write-off of costs associated with a potential timeshare development in Newport Beach, California.
Corporate Overhead Expenses
During the second quarter, the Company made certain changes to its corporate organizational structure, and as a result, the Company's corporate workforce was reduced by approximately 40%. As a result of the changes, the Company incurred one-time charges of approximately $0.8 million in its second quarter. The changes are expected to result in approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million of annual reductions to corporate overhead expense.
Hotel Renovations
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company invested $12.3 million in capital projects.
Dividend Update
On August 5, 2009, the Company's board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share payable to its Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stockholders and a cash dividend of $0.393 per share payable to its Series C cumulative convertible redeemable preferred stockholders. The dividends will be paid on October 15, 2009 to stockholders of record on September 30, 2009. No dividend was declared on the Company's common stock.
The Company intends to make dividends on its common stock in amounts equivalent to 100% of its annual taxable income. The level of any future dividends will be determined by the Company's board of directors after considering taxable income projections, expected capital requirements, and risks affecting the Company's business. In light of the Company's intent to distribute 100% of its annual taxable income, future dividends may be reduced from past levels, or eliminated entirely. Dividends may be made in the form of cash or a combination of cash and stock consistent with Internal Revenue Code regulations.

This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. Copies of these reports are available on our website at www.sunstonehotels.com and through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System ("EDGAR") at www.sec.gov.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance: (1) Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA; (2) Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below); (3) Funds From Operations, or FFO; (4) Adjusted FFO (as defined below); and (5) hotel operating income and hotel operating profit margin for the purpose of our operating margins.
EBITDA represents income available to common stockholders excluding: (1) preferred stock dividends; (2) amortization of deferred stock compensation; (3) interest expense (including prepayment penalties, if any); (4) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (5) depreciation and amortization. In addition, we have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes: (1) the impact of any gain or loss from asset sales; (2) impairment charges; and (3) other adjustments we have identified in this release. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because these measures help investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense and preferred stock dividends) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions. A reconciliation of income available to common stockholders to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is set forth on page 9. A reconciliation and the components of hotel operating income and hotel operating profit margin are set forth on page 10. We believe hotel operating income and hotel operating profit margin are also useful to investors in evaluating our property-level operating performance.
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group. The Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as clarified in November 1999 and April 2002) defines FFO to mean net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains and losses from sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We also present Adjusted FFO, which excludes prepayment penalties, written-off deferred financing costs, impairment losses and other adjustments we have identified in this release. We believe that the presentation of FFO and Adjusted FFO provide useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because they are measures of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base and our acquisition and disposition activities than our ongoing operations. We also use FFO as one measure in determining our results after taking into account the impact of our capital structure. A reconciliation of income available to common stockholders to FFO and Adjusted FFO is set forth on page 9.
We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, Adjusted FFO, hotel operating income and hotel operating profit margin may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, Adjusted FFO, hotel operating income and hotel operating profit margin should not be considered as an alternative measure of our net income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, Adjusted FFO, hotel operating income and hotel operating profit margin may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, Adjusted FFO, hotel operating income and hotel operating profit margin can enhance an investor's understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market conditions may harm our cash flow.
Hotel Operating Margin Information
The revenue and expense items associated with the Company's two commercial laundry facilities and the one hotel property held for non-sale disposition, any guaranty payments, and other miscellaneous non-hotel items have been shown below the adjusted hotel EBITDA line in presenting hotel operating margins. Management believes the calculation of adjusted hotel EBITDA results in a more accurate presentation of hotel operating margins of the Company's portfolio of hotels. See page 10 for a reconciliation of adjusted hotel EBITDA to the comparable GAAP measure.
