5 Things To Remember From Publicly Traded Group Results 1. 1Q Review Beat and accel in 1Q, up 100bps Q/Q and 100bps better than guide 2. 2Q Results Miss and step down in 2Q, down 200bps Q/Q and 50bps worse than guidance 3. 3Q results looks generally in line Guided flat to slightly down vs. 2Q and vs. STLY 4. 4Q Outlook Still expect a pick-up 150bps Using the 3Q guide and the mid of the full year 17, the average hotel co is guiding a 150bps pick up in 4Q to 1% following the expected down 0.5% in 3Q. May prove to be aggressive 5. 2017 & 2018 Outlook More of the same Maintaining/narrowing 17 (which was reduced to slightly positive on 2Q releases) The avg hotel co now expects 0.5% for 2017 (which was closer to 1% as of the 2Q releases)

Specific Hotel Co s in Focus 19
Co s in Focus HLT More realism setting in 3Q down 60bps Q/Q to (0.1)% a miss vs. guidance; 4Q expected to step up 150-200bps Q/Q 3Q a miss vs. prior view for 3Q to be positive and clearly positive when cleansed for holidays Hurricanes were 40bps tailwind which helped offset 70bps headwind from holiday October (4 of the quarter) looking slightly ahead of expectations 2018 guided up 1-3% (vs. 2017 domestic which looks on track for~1. and 2016 of 1.8%) why accel? Economic indicators point to a macro environment slightly better than this year, with growth in U.S. GDP and nonresidential fixed investment forecasted to increase year over year. In the roughly 3 of our business where we have decent sightlines, we see 2018 Group position ahead of this year and we expect corporate negotiated rate increases between and 3%. LHO Plenty to be unexcited about 3Q down 200bps Q/Q to (3.6)%; no annual or quarterly guidance, but commentary points to 4Q pacing down Group pacing up 6% for 4Q and 1.5% for 2018 (ex SF included is up 8%) 4Q pace implies 2017 down 0.5% following 2016 up 2.5% STR YTD up 2.5% (supply up 1.8%, demand up 2.5%), but urban and upper upscale are only up 1% (supply up 3%P We suspect the single biggest driver of this divergence in operating performance is supply growth.
Co s in Focus PEB Disruption in SF, difficult convention compares, Jewish holidays...maintain FY outlook PEB 3Q down 60bps Q/Q to (3.1%) vs. guide (4.5)-(2.5%),; guiding 4Q up 450bps Q/Q at mid guide (-0.5)-1.5% 2017 at (2)-(1)% vs. the 2. in 2016. The updated 4Q guide of 0.5% is shy of prior implied which was up closer to portfolio decreased 2.3% in July, 1.6% in August, and 5.5% in September. Group Revenue down 3% for 2018 (room nights down 8%, rate up near 6%) Industry demand was better than supply growth in Q3, primarily due to a better than expected September, which was likely a result of the benefits in Houston and Texas following the hurricane. In fact, Houston s robust growth following Hurricane Harvey added over 60 basis points to the industry s 3.3% demand growth for September. And leisure travel remained healthy in the quarter. Transient outperformed group overall for the industry in the third quarter and has outperformed for the whole year so far.
