Starwood Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results

    WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) ("Starwood" or the "Company") today reported
results for the third quarter of 2001.

    Third Quarter Financial Results
    The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 had a significant impact on
the Company's third quarter results as lodging demand declined to
unprecedented levels, in the most important month of the quarter, across the
United States and internationally.

    *  REVPAR for Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America decreased 19.4% and
       8.2% internationally when compared to 2000.

    *  Total Company EBITDA was $288 million compared to $406 million in 2000.

    *  Total Company EBITDA margin was approximately 30%.

    *  EPS was $0.14 compared to $0.50 in 2000.

    *  Occupancy rates at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America for the
       period between September 15, 2001 and September 30, 2001 decreased
       approximately 32 percentage points to 48% and REVPAR decreased
       approximately 49% when compared to the same period in 2000.  From
       October 1, 2001 to October 21, 2001, occupancy rates at these hotels
       rebounded to approximately 66%, down 13 percentage points from the same
       period of 2000 resulting in a REVPAR decline of approximately 27%.  The
       most recent week's occupancy level at these hotels was approximately
       68%.

    Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2001
    EPS was $0.14 in the third quarter of 2001 compared to $0.50 in the
corresponding period in 2000, reflecting the dramatic reduction in travel
following the events of September 11 and including a $4 million restructuring
and other special charge.  Total revenues were down 12% to $965 million
compared to the same period in 2000, resulting from the softening United
States economy and the unprecedented decline in industry-wide demand following
the September 11 attacks.  Historically, the last three weeks of September
have been the strongest period in the third quarter.  Operating income for the
third quarter of 2001 was $135 million compared to $268 million in the same
period of 2000 and income from continuing operations was $30 million in the
third quarter of 2001 compared to $103 million in the same period of 2000 due
to the significant decline in hotel operating results and increased
depreciation expense, offset in part by initial cost constraint measures,
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.  Operating income for the third quarter of 2001 includes a
$4 million restructuring and other special charge primarily related to
severance and other costs incurred as part of the Company's immediate cost
constraint efforts after September 11.

    Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001
    For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, total revenues were
$3.1 billion compared to $3.2 billion in the same period in 2000 and EPS was
$0.99 compared to EPS of $1.32 in the corresponding period in 2000.  Income
from continuing operations was $205 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2001 compared to $270 million in the same period of 2000.

    Comments from the CEO
    Barry S. Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO said, "The events of September 11th
stunned and horrified the entire world.  They also changed the travel industry
and exacerbated already weak business travel trends.  We are tremendously
proud of the extraordinary efforts of our 7,000 associates in our 22 New York
and Washington, DC area hotels who worked tirelessly to aid the relief
efforts."
    "No-one was prepared for September 11th and its impact on the travel
industry or our business.  Immediately after September 11th, we aggressively
focused on our operating cost structure, at headquarters, divisional and field
levels, and reduced our capital spending where possible.  The impact of these
measures was not felt in the third quarter.  Yet, the core strengths of our
enterprise are intact.  We own an extraordinary global asset base with
important brands that are now trading at historic discounts to any estimated
asset value.  Year-to-date, all of our brands posted meaningful increases in
guest satisfaction scores and overall market share gains and the nation's #1
frequent guest program, Starwood Preferred Guest, is gaining increasing
strength.  We continued our rollout of our revenue management programs, our
global Six Sigma initiatives and broadband installation in partnership with
Cisco.  We remain a growth company.  Throughout the year, we have added
meaningful new resorts and hotels to enhance our global distribution including
the Westin Dublin, Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa, Westin Stonebriar Resort, St.
Regis Monarch Beach Resort, Sheraton St. Louis, W Lakeshore, W Midland and
soon, the W Times Square.  The Company bears an enormous depreciation expense
which exceeds maintenance capital by approximately $300 million per year.
This is a reflection of the method in which this Company was created.  During
these difficult times, we believe a more appropriate measure of relative value
is cash EPS and EBITDA as well as asset value."
    Concluding, Mr. Sternlicht said, "The travel industry and Starwood are
being tested like never before.  Operating trends continue to improve,
(reaching 70% on certain days recently) albeit at reduced rates of
improvement.  It is extraordinarily difficult to predict future demand trends.
Looking forward, positives such as lower wage inflation, lower energy costs,
lower interest expense, and significant cutbacks in future hotel supply are
somewhat offset by likely higher healthcare and insurance costs.  Nonetheless,
we have sufficient liquidity, the creativity and commitment of our management
team and great assets to weather this period and to emerge a stronger company
focused on growth and rapidly increasing shareholder value."

    Operating Results
    At the Company's Comparable Owned Hotels worldwide, revenues for the third
quarter of 2001 decreased $147 million to $765 million from $912 million in
2000 and EBITDA decreased $89 million to $216 million from $305 million in
2000.  EBITDA at the Company's Comparable Owned Hotels internationally
decreased 6.8% to $82 million in the third quarter of 2001 when compared to
the same period in 2000 (a 3.9% decrease excluding the unfavorable effects of
foreign exchange).  Operating results at Comparable Owned Hotels in North
America declined in the third quarter of 2001 when compared to 2000,
reflecting the impact of lower revenue per available room ("REVPAR") primarily
attributable to the September 11 attacks.  Prior to the attacks, REVPAR at
Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America for the period beginning July 1, 2001
and ending September 10, 2001 decreased 9.8% when compared to the same period
in 2000.  Although prior forecasts projected sell-out demand for the weeks
following September 11, the Company immediately developed operating plans
commensurate with the reduced demand levels.  In the days and weeks following
September 11, the Company implemented contingency plans at all owned and
managed hotels in North America and internationally.  Since the attacks,
Company-wide staffing levels have been reduced by approximately 10,000
full-time equivalent employees across all levels of the organization.
    For the third quarter of 2001, REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels worldwide
decreased 16.5% when compared to the same period in 2000 as a result of a
decline in occupancy rates of 930 basis points to 65.5% and a decline in
average daily rate ("ADR") of 4.7% from the prior year.  REVPAR at Same-Store
Owned Hotels in North America decreased 19.4% to $93.69 when compared to the
same period in 2000 as a result of a decrease in occupancy rates to 66.3% from
77.3% in the prior year, while ADR decreased 6.1% to $141.23.  The decrease in
ADR was primarily attributable to the mix of customers rather than discounted
room rates.  The Company's results in North America were negatively impacted
by the significant drop in industry-wide lodging demand, resulting primarily
from the September 11 attacks, particularly impacting New York, where the
Company has seven owned hotels with approximately 3,900 rooms.
Internationally, Same-Store Owned Hotel REVPAR decreased 8.2%.
    EBITDA margins at Comparable Owned Hotels worldwide decreased 520 basis
points to 28.2% in the third quarter of 2001 when compared to the same period
in 2000.  In North America, EBITDA margins at Comparable Owned Hotels
decreased 750 basis points to 24.9% in the third quarter of 2001 when compared
to the same period in 2000.  Internationally, EBITDA margins at Comparable
Owned Hotels decreased slightly to 35.8% in the third quarter of 2001 when
compared to 36.1% in the same period of 2000.
    During the third quarter of 2001, the Company added 16 management and
franchise contracts with approximately 3,800 rooms.  During the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, the Company added 42 management and franchise
contracts with approximately 8,300 rooms.
    The Company is currently selling vacation ownership interest ("VOI")
inventory at nine resorts and engaged in pre-opening sales at three 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; and Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas in Maui, Hawaii.  Due to
the events of September 11 and subsequent decrease in travel, Starwood
Vacation Ownership, Inc. experienced a decrease in tour flow at those resorts
considered to be fly-to markets.  Sales at destinations traditionally
considered regional drive-to markets, including Myrtle Beach and Palm Springs,
were less affected.

    Dispositions
    The Company continues to review its portfolio for disposition candidates,
including its CIGA portfolio.  However, in light of the current environment,
the timing of these sales has likely been delayed to 2002.

    Capital
    During the third quarter of 2001, the Company invested approximately
$136 million for capital, primarily at owned hotel assets and VOI
construction.  Most of this investment spend included the 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),
which partially opened in October 2001, development of the W New York-Times
Square (509 rooms, opening late fourth quarter) as well as the development of
The St. Regis Museum Tower in San Francisco (269 rooms and 102 condominiums).

    Financing
    On September 30, 2001, the Company had total debt of $5.507 billion and
cash and cash equivalents of $204 million.
    At the end of the third quarter of 2001, the Company's debt was
approximately 65% fixed rate and 35% floating rate and its weighted average
maturity was 4.7 years.  As of September 30, 2001, the Company had cash and
availability under its domestic and international revolving credit facilities
of approximately $800 million and the Company's debt had a weighted average
interest rate of 5.67%.  The Company has had discussions with its primary
lenders and expects to amend its bank facilities to provide for covenant
relief as may be necessary.  The Company continues to monitor the bond market
and, in light of the 2003 maturities of existing bank facilities, expects to
access the bond markets in 2002.

    Share Repurchase
    During the third quarter, the Company repurchased 1,995,800 shares at a
total cost of approximately $54 million.  At September 30, 2001, Starwood had
approximately 201 million shares outstanding (including partnership units and
exchangeable preferred shares).

   Dividend
   In October 2001, Starwood Hotels & Resorts paid a third quarter dividend of
$0.20 per share, representing a 16% increase over the prior year quarterly
dividend.

    Future Performance
    All comments in the following paragraphs and certain 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.
    Given the current uncertain travel environment and a generally weak
economic environment around the world, it is impossible to predict results
with any degree of precision.

    *  As a result of the Company's cost reduction efforts, the Company will
       record significant severance charges in the fourth quarter of 2001.  In
       addition, the Company is evaluating the carrying value of certain
       assets for potential non-cash impairment charges in the fourth quarter
       of 2001.  Such restructuring and other special charges could aggregate
       $75 million to $150 million.

    *  Fourth quarter 2001 Worldwide Same-Store REVPAR is now expected to
       decline approximately 25%-30% from the same period in 2000 resulting in
       EBITDA of approximately $200-225 million and due to the large fixed
       non-cash charge for depreciation, a likely small EPS loss, before
       restructuring and special charges.

   *  Assuming an economic recovery in the second half of 2002 resulting in
      REVPAR flat to down slightly from 2001 or declining approximately 15%
      from 2000 levels, the Company would expect EBITDA of approximately
      $1.25-$1.3 billion and EPS of approximately $1.00-$1.20, including $0.24
      per share from the new accounting rules pertaining to goodwill and
      intangible assets.

    *  The Company is targeting capital expenditures in 2002 of
       $200-$250 million, including maintenance capital expenditures.
       Further, the Company is evaluating the timing and level of its
       dividend.

    Starwood will be conducting a conference call to discuss the third quarter
financial results at 10:30 a.m. (EDT) today.  The conference call will be

    (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
         that provides a relevant basis for comparison, and EBITDA is
         presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the
         Company.  This information should not be considered as an alternative
         to any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting
         principles generally accepted in the United States, nor should it be
         considered as an indicator of the overall financial performance of
         the Company.  The Company's calculation of EBITDA may be different
         from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore,
         comparability may be limited.
    (d)  Includes depreciation and amortization expense of unconsolidated
         joint ventures.
