Supertel Hospitality, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2007 Results

Raises Third Quarter Dividend One Cent per Share

NORFOLK, NE--(Marketwire - August 13, 2007) - Supertel Hospitality, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPPR), a real estate investment trust (REIT) which owns 115 hotels in the limited-service, economy and economy extended-stay sectors, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Revenues in the 2007 second quarter improved 53.2 percent to $30.8 million, compared to the same period a year earlier. Net income available to common shareholders rose 65.9 percent to $2.2 million, or $0.11 per fully diluted share, for the 2007 second quarter, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.11 per fully diluted share, for the like 2006 period.

Funds from operations (FFO) available to common shareholders increased 53.2 percent to $5.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $3.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the same quarter of 2006. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the two quarters were 22,355,529 and 14,756,910, respectively.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) advanced 56.7 percent to $9.4 million in the 2007 second quarter, up from $6.0 million for the same year-ago period. The improvement in all of these metrics was primarily attributable to the addition of 38 hotels to the company's portfolio since the close of the 2006 first quarter.

"We have added a substantial number of properties, 20 in the second quarter alone, and are assimilating them rapidly into our portfolio," said Paul J. Schulte, chairman, president and CEO of Supertel Hospitality, Inc. "We are beginning to see the benefits of our buying power in insurance, benefits and other expenses related to these assets. We expect these acquisitions to follow our historic pattern of becoming accretive within the initial 12 months of our ownership, as we take advantage of our economies of scale and integrate them into our operating systems."

Second Quarter Highlights

--  Increased its dividends by $0.0025 per share in the second quarter and
    raised the dividend $0.01 per share for the 2007 third quarter.
    
--  Acquired four hotels located in Virginia and Louisiana from Waterloo
    Hospitality, Inc. for approximately $30.9 million.
    
--  Purchased the Tara Inn and Suites, located in Jonesboro, Ga., for
    approximately $6 million.
    
--  Obtained 15 Masters Inn hotels for approximately $42.7 million.
    
--  Following the close of the second quarter, acquired a Days Inn hotel
    located in Bossier City, La. and a Days Inn in Fredericksburg, Va. from
    Budget Motels, Inc. for $6.9 million of limited partnership interests in
    the company's operating partnership.
    

Second Quarter Operating Results

Supertel's portfolio consists of limited-service hotels, including mid-scale without food and beverage, economy and economy extended-stay hotels. For the second quarter 2007 compared to the same period a year ago, the company's mid-scale hotels' RevPAR increased 2 percent, driven by a 5.1 percent increase in average daily rate (ADR). The company's economy hotels' RevPAR rose 3.3 percent, primarily due to a 4.7 percent increase in occupancy. The company did not own extended-stay hotels in the same period a year ago and therefore comparisons are not available. Since the economy extended-stay hotels have a significantly lower ADR than the mid-scale and economy hotels, the overall impact of the newly added economy extended-stay hotels on the company's portfolio was a 9.7 percent reduction in ADR and an 8.7 percent decline in the portfolio's RevPAR.

"The first two quarters of 2006 were very favorable, making for tougher than normal comparisons for same-store hotels in the first half of 2007," Schulte said. "However, we are seeing steady improvement in the third quarter and are returning to more normal patterns."

During the 2007 second quarter, hotel and property operations expenses increased $7.1 million, of which $6.5 million can be attributed to hotels acquired after April 1, 2006. Same store operating expenses rose $0.6 million, primarily due to advertising, business promotion, repairs and room supplies, including linen upgrades.

Interest expense rose $1.5 million, due primarily to increased debt in conjunction with hotel acquisitions. The depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.9 million in the 2007 second quarter due primarily to hotel acquisitions.

The company believes property operating income, which is revenue from room rentals and other hotel services less hotel and property operations expenses, is a useful measure of the company's operating efficiency of its hotel properties. Property operating income increased by $3.6 million, or 54.0 percent for the 2007 second quarter, compared to the same year-ago period, due primarily to hotel acquisitions. General and administration expense for the 2007 second quarter rose $0.2 million, compared to the same period last year, primarily as a result of increases in salaries and professional fees, associated principally with the company's acquisition activities.

Hotel Acquisitions

During the quarter, the company acquired 20 hotels, a 21.5 percent increase in the size of the portfolio, for a total purchase price of $79.6 million. The hotels were purchased using advances from its revolving lines of credit and new first mortgage obligations.

On July 31, the company acquired two Days Inn hotels that it had leased and managed since April 4, 2007. The properties, located in Bossier City, La. and Fredericksburg, Va., were purchased from Budget Motels, Inc. for $6.9 million limited partnership interests in the company's operating partnership.

"We have an active pipeline and continue to review a substantial number of acquisition candidates, both portfolios and individual properties," Schulte noted. "Concurrently, we expect to periodically prune our portfolio of properties that no longer fit our long-term growth strategy. We are the only publicly traded REIT to concentrate on hotels in the mid-market and economy limited-service and economy extended-stay sectors. As a result, we do not experience the same pricing pressures as some other hotel REITs and typically acquire hotels at more attractive cap rates," he said. "Our acquisition strategy remains to buy properties that can generate strong cash flow and benefit from our scale, distribution and asset management."

"Our portfolio is in very good physical condition," he said. "We continue to invest in our properties and have spent $4.4 million in renovations and upgrades during the first half of 2007."

Balance Sheet Information

In the 2007 second quarter, shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance to 100 million shares and an increase in the number of preferred stock shares to 40 million.

Dividend Increases

The board of directors declared a $0.12 1/2 dividend for the 2007 third quarter, payable October 31, 2007 to shareholders of record September 28, 2007, a $0.01 increase over the second quarter dividend. Based on the closing price of the common shares at the close of business on August 10, 2007, the annualized dividend represents a yield of approximately 6.3 percent.

"This increase will result in a 35 percent compounded annual growth rate of our dividend since the first quarter of 2003," Schulte said. "This increase also reflects the confidence that the board has in our recent acquisitions and our outlook for the industry and our specific markets. We will continue to evaluate our dividend policy on a quarterly basis."

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. The company considers FFO to be a market accepted measure of an equity REIT's operating performance, which is necessary, along with net earnings (loss), for an understanding of the company's operating results. FFO, as defined under the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) standards, consists of net income computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. The company believes its method of calculating FFO complies with the NAREIT definition. FFO does not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the company's cash needs, including its ability to pay dividends or make distributions. All REITs do not calculate FFO in the same manner; therefore, the company's calculation may not be the same as the calculation of FFO for similar REITs.

The company uses FFO as a performance measure to facilitate a periodic evaluation of its operating results relative to those of its peers, who like Supertel Hospitality, Inc., are typically members of NAREIT. The company considers FFO a useful additional measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the company believes that FFO provides a meaningful indication of its performance.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. With respect to EBITDA, the company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and amortization, and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.

EBITDA doesn't represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure of the company's liquidity, nor is EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund the company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. Neither measurement reflects cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management's discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or the evaluation of the company's operating performance.

The following table sets forth the continuing operations of the company's hotel properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The comparisons below include the company's 115 and 79 hotels for June 30, 2007 and 2006. This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures. The company believes that the presentation of hotel property operating income (POI) is helpful to investors, and represents a more useful description of its core operations, as it better communicates the comparability of its hotels' results. "Same Store locations" reflect 76 hotels owned as of January 1, 2006, used for YTD 2007 and 2006; 77 hotels owned as of April 1, 2006 used for the three months ended 2007 and 2006. The company refers to its entire hotel portfolio as limited service hotels which can be further described as mid-scale without food and beverage, economy and economy extended stay.
