TravelCenters of America LLC Announces Results For The Periods Ended December 31, 2006.

WESTLAKE, Ohio -- TravelCenters of America LLC (AMEX: TA) today announced its pro forma financial results for the periods ended December 31, 2006.

On January 31, 2007, Hospitality Properties Trust (NYSE: HPT) completed its acquisition and restructuring of TravelCenters of America, Inc., our predecessor, and we were spun off from HPT. Also on that date, we entered into a long term lease agreement with HPT for 146 of the travel center sites in our network. Further details on these transactions can be found in our Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2007. Today, we are a separate public company traded on the American Stock Exchange. Because of these January 31, 2007 events, our predecessor's historical financial information may have limited relevance to investors. In addition to the 146 sites we lease from HPT, at January 31, 2007 our network of 163 sites included 13 sites that are owned by our franchisees, three that are owned by third parties other than HPT and one that we own.

Our predecessor's historical net income for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2006, was $31.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, compared to net losses of $2.1 million and $2.5 million for the respective 2005 periods.

Principally because the capital structure we employ as a separate public company is materially different than our predecessor's capital structure, the supplemental information which accompanies this release includes pro forma financial data. We have also presented supplemental pro forma financial data, principally to display earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rent, or EBITDAR, and to display adjusted EBITDAR, which is EBITDAR excluding the impact of certain non-cash items and certain items which we consider to be non-recurring. The adjustments applied to the historical data of our predecessor are described in the notes to the accompanying supplemental information.

Our pro forma net loss for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2006, was $24.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively, compared to pro forma net loss of $80.2 million and $20.5 million for the respective 2005 periods. Our pro forma EBITDAR for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2006, was $173.6 million and $42.3 million, respectively, compared to $118.8 million and $29.1 million for the respective 2005 periods. Our pro forma adjusted EBITDAR for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2006, was $189.2 million and $42.4 million, respectively, compared to $165.3 million and $38.2 million for the respective 2005 periods.

Recent network changes:

* We expect to open a brand new travel center in Livingston, CA, later this week, which will bring our network to 164 travel centers. This travel center was developed in our "protolite" design. The total development and construction cost of our new travel center was $14 million. Our Livingston, CA, travel center is located within i mile of Winton Parkway off of State Highway 99 and includes 10.5 acres of land, 105 truck parking spaces, 128 automobile parking spaces, and offers six diesel fuel lanes and six gasoline dispensers, a travel store, a 5-bay truck repair facility, a full service restaurant and three quick service restaurants, or QSRs.

* In December 2006, our predecessor agreed to franchise the "TravelCenters of America" and "TA" names to the owner of a travel center in Greeneville, TN. We expect the franchise agreement to begin during the second quarter of 2007 when the owner completes certain facility improvements required to meet our brand standards. This travel center will increase the number of franchised sites in our network to 24 and the total network to 165 travel centers. The Greeneville, TN, travel center is located at Exit 36 off of Interstate 81 and includes 14 acres of land, 140 truck parking spaces, 100 automobile parking spaces, and offers eight diesel fuel lanes and four gasoline dispensers, a travel store, a 2-bay truck repair facility and a full service restaurant.

* In November 2006, our predecessor purchased an operating travel center in Troy, IL, and converted it to the "TravelCenters of America" brand for an aggregate cost of $5.1 million. Our Troy, IL, travel center is located at Exit 18 off of Interstate 55 and 70 and includes 20 acres of land, 110 truck parking spaces, 60 automobile parking spaces, and offers eight diesel fuel lanes and five gasoline dispensers, a travel store, a 3-bay truck repair facility, and a full service restaurant.

* During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, our predecessor completed the construction of nine truck repair shop bays at five of our travel centers at an aggregate cost of $2 million. Since December 31, 2006, through March 11, 2007, we completed the construction of 16 truck repair shop bays at five of our travel centers. As of March 11, 2007, our network includes over 600 truck repair bays.

* During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, our predecessor completed the addition of five QSRs at three of our travel centers. Since December 31, 2006, through March 11, 2007, we added an additional QSR at one of our travel centers. As of March 11, 2007, our network includes 213 QSRs branded under 20 different QSR concepts.

* During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, our predecessor installed IdleAire[R] equipment in 1,521 truck parking spaces at 24 of our travel centers. Since December 31, 2006, through March 11, 2007, we equipped an additional 516 truck parking spaces with IdleAire[R] at eight of our travel centers. IdleAire[R] is a technology of IdleAire Technology Corporation that provides professional truck drivers with the ability to reduce engine wear and emissions by providing heated or cooled air to control cabin temperatures without the need to run the truck engines while parked at one of our travel centers. As of March 11, 2007, our network includes 3,782 truck parking spaces at 56 travel centers equipped with IdleAire[R].

* During 2006, our predecessor spent $92.0 million for capital projects, including $25.2 million which we consider to be sustaining capital expenditures and $66.8 million which we consider to be revenue enhancing capital expenditures. Included in the completed capital projects in 2006 were the modernization and upgrade of 17 shower and bathroom facilities across our network.

In connection with our spin off, HPT committed to fund $125 million of capital expenditures at the travel centers we lease from HPT over the next five years without adjustment to our rent. We may also accept funding of additional capital expenditures at these travel centers from HPT in exchange for increased rent.

                     TRAVELCENTERS OF AMERICA LLC
                INTRODUCTION TO SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

The adjusted pro forma information provided herein is based on the historical operating results of TravelCenters of America, Inc., our predecessor, for the periods indicated, adjusted for HPT's acquisition of our predecessor and our recapitalization and spin off from HPT, or the "Transaction". The adjustments applied to the historical operating results of our predecessor are described in the reconciliations to our predecessor's historical financial information beginning on page 6 and the notes thereto beginning on page 11. The adjusted pro forma statement of operations assumes that the Transaction occurred at the beginning of the period presented. The adjusted pro forma balance sheet assumes that the Transaction occurred on December 31, 2006. The information provided in this release does not represent our financial condition or results of operations for any future date or period. Actual future results may be materially different from those presented herein. Differences could arise from many factors, including, but not limited to, those related to our operation as a separate publicly owned company, interest earned on our cash balances, competition in our business, our ability to successfully attract or retain customers and employees, our ability to control operating expenses, our capital structure and other factors. Further, we have not given pro forma or adjusted pro forma effect to the following:

* The costs which we will incur to operate as a separate public company.

* Interest income we may earn on cash which we received from HPT prior to our spin off. Simultaneously with the spin off, HPT contributed cash to us such that our current assets, including cash, net of our current liabilities totaled $200 million. Our cash balance as of January 31, 2007, was approximately $200 million, a portion of which we have used as collateral for certain letters of credit or is at our site level operating cash accounts.

(1) See pages 6 to 9 for a reconciliation of our predecessor's historical results to these pro forma results.

(2) Our lease with HPT requires us to pay rent of $153.5 million for the period from February 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008. Our lease with HPT requires us to pay, on average, $170.7 million per annum over the 16 year lease term. Certain of our travel centers leased from HPT did not qualify for operating lease treatment but are instead treated as capitalized leases under generally accepted accounting principals, or GAAP. As a result, a portion of the rent expense to HPT is recognized as interest expense in our pro forma statement of operations (see Note D to this supplemental information on page 12 for a further discussion). Under GAAP, we recognize our rent obligations on a pro forma basis as follows:

[TABLE OMITTED]

Our predecessor recognized rent expense shown below as "Other real estate rent" related to real estate leased from parties other than HPT.

[TABLE OMITTED]

(1) We calculate EBITDAR as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rent, and we define Adjusted EBITDAR as EBITDAR excluding the impact of certain non-cash items and certain items which we consider to be non-recurring. We consider EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR to be measures which are useful indications of our operating performance and our ability to pay rent or service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We believe that EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR are meaningful disclosures that may help shareholders to understand our financial performance, including comparing our performance between periods and to other companies. However, EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other companies. This information should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from continuing operations, operating profit, cash flow from operations or any other operating or liquidity performance measure prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.

(2) The historical noncash share based compensation expense relates primarily to the vesting of options of our predecessor's, TravelCenters of America, Inc.'s, shares which were redeemed upon the closing of HPT's acquisition of TravelCenters of America, Inc.

(3) This amount primarily relates to costs incurred by our predecessor, TravelCenters of America, Inc., in marketing itself for sale and certain refinancing transactions which were abandoned during 2006.

(4) For the year ended December 31, 2006, the amount shown relates primarily to a gain recognized on a claims settlement. For the periods ended December 31, 2005, these amounts relate primarily to debt extinguishment.

                  FOOTNOTES TO PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
                (in thousands, except per share data)

Pro forma Statement of Operations Adjustments

A. After our spin off from HPT, we entered into a management and shared services agreement with Reit Management and Research LLC, or RMR, pursuant to which we will receive certain management services more fully described in our Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2007. The adjustment represents the fees payable to RMR and is derived as follows:

[TABLE OMITTED]

B. Our agreement to lease real estate owned by HPT requires us to make minimum rent payments that have scheduled increases during the term of the lease as described in our Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2007. Adjustments have been calculated as follows:

[TABLE OMITTED]

C. As part of the restructuring we retained a portion of the property, equipment and personal property used in the operations of our travel centers. In addition, we retained certain identifiable intangible assets. This adjustment represents the elimination of historical depreciation and amortization expense recognized by our predecessor and the addition of estimated depreciation and amortization expense related to the property, equipment and intangible assets retained by us at allocated valuations. The depreciation and amortization expense is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

[TABLE OMITTED]

Supplemental Information, page 12 of 14

D. Our spin off from HPT required us to evaluate our lease with HPT as a sale leaseback transaction under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 98, or SFAS 98, which addresses sale leaseback transactions involving real estate. Under SFAS 98, we determined that several of the travel centers owned by our predecessor that we now lease from HPT did not qualify for operating lease treatment because more than a minor portion of those travel centers are subleased to third parties. We carry such travel centers at an amount equal to HPT's recorded initial carrying amount, equal to their fair value, and have an equal amount of liability, representing our obligation to make future rent payments to HPT, which future payments will be recognized as interest expense in our statement of operations. See Note B.

E. All of our predecessor's debt was extinguished at the time of HPT's acquisition of our predecessor. This adjustment represents the elimination of historical interest expense and other financial costs.

F. This adjustment represents the elimination of our predecessor's historical tax provision. As a result of the HPT acquisition and our spin off from HPT, our predecessor's tax attributes, such as net operating losses carried forward, if any, will not be available to benefit us in the future. Our predecessor's blended federal and state income tax rate was approximately 37.5%.

G. This adjustment represents the elimination of our predecessor's shares outstanding and the addition of our 8,809 total common shares outstanding subsequent to the spin off.

Pro Forma Balance Sheet Adjustments

H. This column represents the historical balance sheet of our predecessor, TravelCenters of America, Inc., and our balance sheet combined. We were formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of HPT in October 2006 and capitalized with one dollar of cash; we had no other assets and no liabilities as of December 31, 2006.

I. Represents the cash that would have been contributed to us by HPT as part of our restructuring if the transaction had closed on December 31, 2006. Under the terms of the transaction agreement with HPT, HPT contributed cash to us so that the sum of our cash and other net working capital on the distribution date was $200,000. Our cash balance as of January 31, 2007, was approximately $200,000, a portion of which was used as collateral for certain letters of credit or is at our site level operating cash accounts. We do not expect that the difference between the cash amount reflected in the pro forma financial statements and the actual amount of our cash on the distribution date to have a material impact on our expected operations.

J. As required under GAAP, the acquisition of TravelCenters of America, Inc., will be treated as a business combination. Those generally accepted principles require that we record the carrying value of the acquired assets and liabilities at their fair market values:

[TABLE OMITTED]

Cash consideration per the merger agreement is equal to $1,925,000 less indebtedness on the merger date and adjusted for working capital, as defined, in excess of, or less than, $100,000 on the acquisition date.

Adjustments have been calculated as follows:

[TABLE OMITTED]

K. This adjustment represents the elimination of our predecessor's historical carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities. As of the date of the spin off, both our tax bases and book bases in our assets and liabilities were redetermined with reference to fair market values, and we do not have basis differences that give rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities.

L. This adjustment represents the elimination of our predecessor's historical carrying amount of property, plant and equipment retained by HPT as part of the restructuring. The adjustment was calculated as follows:

[TABLE OMITTED]

Supplemental Information, page 14 of 14

M. This adjustment represents the elimination of the debt, accrued interest and related unamortized deferred financing costs of our predecessor. In connection with HPT's acquisition of TravelCenters of America, Inc., all of the debt and accrued interest of our predecessor was extinguished.

N. This adjustment represents the elimination of historical net shareholders' equity of our predecessor, net of the effects of the pro forma adjustments described above.

O. This adjustment represents the elimination of our predecessor's historical carrying amount of goodwill and recognition of goodwill for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in connection with HPT's acquisition of our predecessor.
