Starwood Reports Second Quarter 2001 Eps Of $0.55

    WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) ("Starwood" or the "Company") today reported
results for the second quarter of 2001.

    Second Quarter Financial Highlights

    *  Total Company EBITDA reached $401 million benefiting from strong cost
       containment initiatives.

    *  Total Company EBITDA margin for the second quarter declined
       approximately 50 basis points to 36.1%.  Excluding the investment
       spending for Six Sigma, total Company EBITDA margins increased
       approximately 20 basis points to 36.8%.

    *  REVPAR for Same-Store Owned Hotels in Europe increased 7.6% excluding
       the unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.  Further,
       excluding United Kingdom hotels where reports of foot-and-mouth disease
       have negatively impacted travel, REVPAR increased 10.4% and EBITDA at
       Comparable Owned Hotels increased 17.3%.

    *  Starwood branded hotel marketshare in North America increased 190 basis
       points versus the competitive set through May 2001.

    *  REVPAR for Worldwide Same-Store Owned Westin Hotels decreased 1.3% as
       ADR increased 1.2% while occupancy declined 190 basis points to 75.1%.

    *  REVPAR for Worldwide Same-Store Owned St. Regis/Luxury Collection
       Hotels, excluding the unfavorable effect of foreign currency
       translation and the New York St. Regis, increased 8.2% as ADR increased
       11.4%.

    Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2001

    EPS was $0.55 in the second quarter of 2001 compared to EPS of $0.56 in
the corresponding period in 2000.  Total revenues were down 2.8% to
$1.110 billion compared to the same period in 2000, despite the negative
impact of the slowing North American economy, the disposition of several
hotels, the effective closure of two hotels in Chicago for renovation and
repositioning to W hotels, the political and economic crisis in Latin America,
the closure of one hotel in Fiji and the unfavorable impact of foreign
currency translation.  The Company expects that both of the Chicago hotels
will contribute to stronger revenue growth in the second half of 2001.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2001 was $254 million compared to
$285 million in the same period of 2000 due in part to increased non-cash
charges for depreciation.  Income from continuing operations was $113 million
in the second quarter of 2001 compared to $114 million in the same period of
2000 benefiting from reduced interest expense, resulting from a reduction in
interest rates and the completion of certain financing transactions and a
reduction in the Company's effective tax rate.
    The results for the quarter include approximately $7.5 million of
implementation costs associated with the Company's Six Sigma initiative offset
by a pre-tax gain of approximately $7.9 million, resulting from cost
containment efforts which led to the termination of a pension plan.  Six Sigma
financial benefits are expected to be a net positive by early fourth quarter
2001.

    Six Months Ended June 30, 2001
    For the six months ended June 30, 2001, total revenues were $2.124 billion
compared to $2.138 billion in the same period in 2000 and EPS was $0.85
compared to EPS of $0.82 in the corresponding period in 2000.  Income from
continuing operations increased to $175 million in the six months ended June
30, 2001 compared to $167 million in the same period of 2000.

    Comments from the CEO

    "The speed and depth of the slowdown of the world's economies has been
faster and deeper than we, like most others, had expected," said Barry S.
Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO.  "Still, in these extremely difficult business
conditions, we are generally pleased with our second quarter performance.
Despite the severe economic slowdown in North America, continued weakness in
the Euro, economic and currency weakness in Latin America, unrest in the
Middle East and other macro issues, we remain a very profitable company
generating very strong cash flows that nearly matched those posted in last
year's robust environment.  While we have slowed certain capital expenditures,
particularly in the interval ownership area, and carefully managed
controllable costs, we have consciously continued our sizable investment
spending in Six Sigma training, the completion of three new W Hotels and the
rollout of our new yield management system -- all of which are designed to
help ensure that we continue the growth trends we posted in 1999 and 2000 as
soon as economic conditions permit. We have just begun to realize the
potential for even better control of costs and, more importantly,
significantly increased revenue-generating opportunities through our roll-out
of Six Sigma."
    "Recognizing the relative valuation of our company, we are also carefully
examining all structural alternatives that could enhance shareholder value.
Included in this strategic review is the consummation of the sale of all or
substantially all of the CIGA portfolio as well as accelerating the strategic
review of our ownership of assets around the world."
    "We are encouraged that the major weaknesses in our domestic portfolio
today are in New York and San Francisco, two cities that are terrific
long-term real estate investment markets, and that overall new hotel supply
growth continues to decelerate as already difficult financing markets tighten
further."
    Concluding, Mr. Sternlicht said, "While we are cautiously optimistic that
the economy and our sector could rebound in the fourth quarter, we are not
running our business that way. With the recovery, our investments behind
Starwood Preferred Guest, W Hotels, Westin's "Heavenly" branded products,
renovations and repositionings, yield management, expansion of our interval
ownership business and Six Sigma have positioned Starwood to lead the sector
in earnings and cash flow growth."

    Operating Results
    At the Company's Comparable Owned Hotels, revenues for the second quarter
of 2001 decreased to $895 million from $957 million in 2000 and EBITDA
decreased to $309 million from $341 million in 2000.  Operating results at
Comparable Owned Hotels in North America declined in the second quarter of
2001 when compared to 2000, reflecting the impact of lower REVPAR primarily
attributable to lower business transient demand.  EBITDA at the Company's
Comparable Owned Hotels in Europe increased 6.3% to $62 million in the second
quarter of 2001 when compared to the same period in 2000 (a 14.0% increase
excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange).

    For the second quarter of 2001, revenue per available room ("REVPAR") at
Same-Store Owned Hotels decreased 6.8% when compared to the same period in
2000 as a result of a decline in occupancy rates of 500 basis points to 69.9%,
while average daily rate ("ADR") remained in-line with the prior year.  REVPAR
at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America decreased 7.4% to $110.24 when
compared to the same period in 2000 as a result of a decrease in occupancy
rates of 570 basis points to 70.6%, while ADR increased slightly to $156.24.
The Company's results in North America were negatively impacted by the
significant drop in industry-wide lodging demand, particularly in New York,
where the Company has seven owned hotels with approximately 3,900 rooms.
Excluding owned hotels in New York and two hotels under significant renovation
in Chicago, REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America decreased 4.2%
in the second quarter of 2001 when compared to the same period in 2000.
REVPAR at Westin Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America decreased 1.6% as a
result of a decrease in occupancy rates of 230 basis points and an increase in
ADR of 1.5%.  In Europe, Same-Store Owned Hotel REVPAR increased 7.6%,
excluding the unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, primarily as
a result of strong gains at owned hotels in Spain and Italy.  Results in
Europe were negatively impacted by the unfavorable effect of foreign currency
translation as well as the drop in demand in the United Kingdom due primarily
to concerns related to reports of foot-and-mouth disease.  Excluding the
unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation and excluding owned hotels
in the United Kingdom, REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in Europe increased
10.4%.  (See attached tables for detailed REVPAR analysis.)
    EBITDA margins at Comparable Owned Hotels worldwide decreased 100 basis
points to 34.6% in the second quarter of 2001 when compared to the same period
in 2000.  In North America, EBITDA margins at Comparable Owned Hotels
decreased 170 basis points to 33.4% in the second quarter of 2001 when
compared to the same period in 2000.  Excluding the effectively closed hotels
in Chicago, North America EBITDA margins decreased 120 basis points period to
period.  Internationally, despite weak economic, political and/or currency
conditions, EBITDA margins at Comparable Owned Hotels increased 70 basis
points to 37.9% in the second quarter of 2001 when compared to the same period
in 2000 (EBITDA margins at Comparable Owned Hotels in Europe increased 170
basis points to 38.0% in the second quarter of 2001 when compared to the same
period in 2000).  Excluding the unfavorable effect of foreign currency
translation and U.K. hotels, EBITDA margins at Comparable Owned Hotels in
Europe increased 230 basis points.
    During the second quarter of 2001, the Company added 14 management and
franchise contracts with approximately 4,000 rooms, including the 1,060 room
Westin Diplomat in Hollywood Florida which is scheduled to open January 2002.
During the first half of 2001 the Company added 30 management and franchise
contracts with approximately 6,800 rooms.
    The Company is currently selling vacation ownership interest ("VOI")
inventory at nine resorts and engaged in pre-opening sales at two others.
Three new build projects are currently underway including Sheraton's Mountain
Vista in Avon, Colorado; Westin Mission Hills Resort Villas in Rancho Mirage,
California (both in pre-opening sales); and Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort
Villas in Maui, Hawaii.  All three new build projects are expected to post
meaningful revenue and EBITDA beginning in the latter part of 2001 and into
2002.

    Acquisitions and Dispositions
    In April 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50%
interest in the 1,377-room Sheraton Centre Toronto for approximately CDN
$75 million (approximately USD $48 million or the equivalent of approximately
$70,000 per key).  Starwood owned 50% of this property before completion of
this acquisition.  The purchase price represented a trailing twelve-month
EBITDA of less than five times.  The Company also acquired a 44% interest in
the Sheraton Royal Orchid Hotel in Thailand for approximately $27 million or
the equivalent of approximately $80,000 per key.
    The Company is continuing to pursue the sale of its CIGA portfolio which
includes such world renowned assets as the Hotel Gritti Palace and Hotel
Danieli in Venice, the St. Regis Grand and Westin Excelsior in Rome, the Grand
Hotel and Westin Excelsior in Florence, the Principe di Savoia in Milan and
Westin Palace in Madrid, among others.  The Company has spent considerable
time determining the optimal strategy for maximizing sale proceeds of this
extraordinary portfolio and, early in the second quarter, retained investment
bank support to market for sale all or a portion of the portfolio.  The
Company expects to receive some or all of the proceeds from the sale of
certain CIGA assets within the next nine months.  The Company plans to retain
long-term management contracts to keep these important destinations accessible
to its customer base.  The Company continues to review its portfolio for
disposition candidates.

    Capital
    Early in the year the Company moved aggressively to reduce its
discretionary capital expenditures.  During the second quarter of 2001, the
Company invested approximately $122 million for capital, primarily at owned
hotel assets and VOI construction.  Most of this investment spend included the
ongoing repositioning of the Midland Hotel to the W Chicago-City Center (390
rooms), which is now open, conversion of the Days Inn Chicago to the W
Chicago-Lakeshore (556 rooms, opening early fall), development of the W New
York-Times Square (511 rooms, opening early fourth quarter) as well as the
development of The St. Regis Museum Tower in San Francisco (269 rooms and 102
condominiums).

    Financing
    On June 30, 2001, the Company had total debt of $5.529 billion and cash
and cash equivalents of $221 million.  In May 2001, the Company completed a
$100 million add-on financing to its credit facility.  Also in May 2001, the
Company sold two separate series of zero-coupon convertible senior notes due
2021 for gross proceeds of approximately $500 million.  The proceeds were used
to repay a portion of its increasing rate notes ("IRNs") that currently bear
interest at LIBOR plus 275 basis points.  As a result of the paydown of a
portion of the IRNs, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $6 million
(net of tax) on the early extinguishment of this debt.
    At the end of the second quarter of 2001, the Company's debt was
approximately 67% fixed rate and 33% floating rate and its weighted average
maturity was just under five years.  The Company elected to retain its
floating rate debt position as a natural hedge against the anticipated
economic softness in North America.  As of June 30, 2001, the Company had
availability under its revolving credit facility of approximately $537 million
and the Company's debt had a weighted average interest rate of 6.12%.
    During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 200,000 shares at a
total cost of approximately $6.6 million.  At June 30, 2001, Starwood had
approximately 203 million shares outstanding (including partnership units and
exchangeable preferred shares).
    In May 2001, Starwood Hotels & Resorts (the "Trust") declared a second
quarter dividend of $0.20 per share ($0.80 annual rate), representing a 16%
increase over the prior year quarterly dividend.

    Future Performance
    All comments in the following paragraphs and the comments in this release
above are deemed to be forward-looking statements.  These statements reflect
expectations of the Company's performance given its current base of assets and
its current understanding of external economic and political environments.
Actual results may differ materially.

    *  The Company will continue to aggressively manage costs.  Due to the
       continued weakness of the U.S. economy, full year 2001 North America
       Same-Store REVPAR is now expected to decline 2% to 3%.  Full year
       Worldwide Same-Store REVPAR is now also expected to decline 2% to 3%.

    *  Full year 2001 EBITDA is expected to be approximately $1.550 billion
       and EPS is expected to be approximately $1.96 or in line with 2000's
       record results.

    *  Given the continued weak economic environment and unfavorable foreign
       currency fluctuations, the Company believes there is a greater chance
       of reporting EPS lower than $1.96 than there is of exceeding it.

    (b)  Selling, general, administrative and other expenses includes the
         cost of sales of VOIs and other costs of timeshare operations.
    (c)  EBITDA is defined as income before interest expense, income tax
         expense and depreciation and amortization.  Non-recurring items and
         gains and losses from sales of real estate and investments are also
         excluded from EBITDA as these items do not impact operating results
         on a recurring basis.  Management considers EBITDA to be one measure
         of the cash flows from operations of the Company before debt service

         to any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting
