Surpassing its first quarter 2005 EBITDA guidance by over $5.0 million, as well as RevPAR guidance by 2.3 percent, Wyndham International, Inc. (AMEX:WBR) today reported that for the first quarter ending March 31, 2005, EBITDA, as adjusted, was $75.3 million compared to $67.1 million from the same quarter last year. The Company's comparable owned and leased Wyndham-branded properties posted RevPAR of $129.07, an increase of 6.8 percent versus the same period in 2004. Eighty-seven percent of the RevPAR increase was driven by the increase in average daily rate (ADR ADR - Astra Digital Radio ).

Larger RevPAR gains were realized by the Company's comparable owned and operated Wyndham Hotels & Resorts brand segment, which posted RevPAR of $116.98 or a 7.7 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Wyndham-branded owned, leased, managed and franchised properties ended the quarter with a RevPAR penetration index of 101.0.

The Company experienced solid ADR gains at comparable properties in the first quarter, led by its Wyndham Hotels & Resorts brand segment which posted a 7.2 percent increase in ADR.

Fred J. Kleisner, Wyndham's chairman, president and chief executive officer, stated: "Wyndham's strong first quarter earnings are a direct result of our revenue driving strategies initiated in early 2004. With strong demand for upscale and luxury hotel accommodations, maintaining control of our rooms inventory, continuing to create incentives for guests to book through our proprietary distribution channels, and investing capital into our properties will position us well for continued EBITDA and RevPAR gains in 2005."

EBITDA:

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP metric that can be used to evaluate a company's profitability.
:EBITDA = Operating Revenue – Operating Expenses + Other Revenue
. The Company believes that this metric is useful to investors and management as a measure of the Company's operating performance due to the significance of the Company's long-lived assets and level of indebtedness and because such metric can be used to measure the Company's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from operations Cash flow from operations
