CNL LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
(ORLANDO, Fla.) November 15, 2011 — CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc., (the “Company”) a non-traded real estate investment trust (REIT) today announced its operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011. As of November 15, the Company owns a portfolio of 169 lifestyle properties, 89 of which are wholly-owned and run by operators under long-term, triple-net leases with a weighted average lease rate of 8.6 percent, 29 of which are managed by independent operators, one which is held for development and 50 of which are owned through joint venture arrangements. Of its joint venture investments, 14 are leased and 36 are managed by independent operators. Diversification by asset class is 23.5 percent senior living, 21 percent ski, 18.7 percent golf, 14 percent attractions, 5.8 percent marinas and 17 percent in additional lifestyle properties, including lodging.
“Our portfolio of lifestyle assets performed well during the third quarter,” said Stephen H. Mauldin, president and chief operating officer of CNL Lifestyle Properties. “Our revenues have increased and we have substantially reduced our losses for the third quarter as compared with the same period a year ago. At the same time we have continued to invest and have grown our portfolio, particularly in the senior housing sector, with new acquisitions.”

Total revenues increased $74.8 million or 93.3 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and increased $109.4 million or 46.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Total expenses were flat for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the comparable period in 2010 and increased $60.7 million or 22 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net loss was $1.2 million and $37.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to net loss of $69.8 million and $67.5 million for the comparable periods in 2010. FFO and MFFO per share were $0.29 and $0.31 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $0.24 and $0.38 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
The increases in revenues and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are primarily attributable to the conversion of certain of our attractions properties from leased to managed properties, where we now record property-level gross revenues and property-level operating expenses rather than straight-line rents as was the case in 2010. In addition, there was an increase in revenues related to improvement in the operating results from our Omni Mt. Washington property and our two Great Wolf water park resorts.
One of our operators, “EAGLE”, which operates 43 of our golf facilities, continues to have ongoing challenges due to the general economic environment. In anticipation of a lease restructure and the sale of certain of our golf properties, we recorded an impairment provision of $16.7 million and loss on lease termination of $5.2 million during the third quarter of 2011, primarily related to certain golf facilities. For the comparable period in 2010, we recorded an impairment provision of $26.9 million related to four properties, loss on lease terminations of $40.1 million related to 18 attractions properties that were transitioned to new managers and a loan loss provision of $5.1 million related to mortgage receivables that were deemed uncollectible.
The increase in FFO of $0.05 per share to $0.29 per share from $0.24 per share for the nine months of 2011 compared to the nine months of 2010 was primarily a result of reductions in loss on lease termination and loan loss provision, offset in part by a reduction in property-level revenues net of property-level expenses resulting from the transition of the attractions properties to new operators. During the initial year of our transitioning certain properties from leased to managed structures, property net operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $4.3 million less than rental income received during the same period in 2010 due to non-recurring management transition costs and an increase in repairs and maintenance spending to address identified deferred maintenance needs and create enhanced guest experiences. Additionally, we experienced higher interest expense as a result of the issuance of our unsecured notes in 2011. The decrease in MFFO of $0.07 per share to $0.31 per share from $0.38 per share for the nine months of 2011 compared to the nine months of 2010 was primarily a result of higher interest expense as a result of the issuance of our unsecured notes in 2011, discussed above. During 2011, we have continued to experience dilution from uninvested bond proceeds. As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $313 million in cash. We currently expect to add approximately $300 million in assets to the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, which we believe will improve our results of operations and cash flows.
“As an enterprise, we are very much encouraged by our robust pipeline of investment opportunities, which are targeted in certain focused asset classes that we continue to believe are compelling,” said Mauldin. “We look forward to deploying our capital in a thoughtful manner between now and early 2012.”
“I am very pleased with the operating results our new attractions operators achieved during their first season,” said Joseph T. Johnson, senior vice president and chief financial officer of CNL Lifestyle Properties. “And I expect these properties to perform even better during the 2012 season, when our operators have the benefit of a full off-season to prepare their marketing and operational plans.”

Portfolio Performance
Overall property-level revenues and EBITDA increased by 6.4 percent and 0.1 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus 2010 and increased 6.5 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively for the nine-month period. The EBITDA rent coverage for our 89 wholly-owned leased properties by asset class calculated on a trailing 12-month basis as of September 30, 2011 was 1.36x.

* | As of September 30, 2011 on trailing 12-month (TTM) basis for properties subject to lease calculated as property level EBITDA before recurring capital expenditures divided by rent. |
The overall improvement in our property-level performance is attributable to solid performance in our ski and attraction properties and an improvement in certain of our additional lifestyle properties, where we have seen certain properties that faced challenges in the past, including our Omni Mt. Washington Resort and our two Great Wolf water park resorts. Those assets in particular continue to experience marked improvements. Our senior living properties are performing well; however, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, these properties recorded certain one-time charges, primarily related to insurance and repairs and maintenance expenses, which are not indicative of the future performance of these properties. Our golf properties continue to be challenged, much like the entire golf industry, due to a weak economy and the reduction of golf rounds played; however, we are confident that the majority of these properties remain attractive long-term investments. Our marinas properties have also continued to underperform, as boat usage, slip rental and new boat sales remain low.
We continue to focus on the active management and optimization of our portfolio to maximize growth in rents and property operating income. To that end, as we seek to maximize the total value of our portfolio in connection with our evaluation of various strategic opportunities in preparation for a future listing or other liquidity events, we anticipate the sale of certain assets that we believe are not central to our long-term strategy. We may also continue to reposition certain assets by making strategic operator changes for properties that we believe will benefit from a new management, based on specific expertise or geographic coverage that particular operators possess.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures
We compute our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Although Funds from Operations (FFO), Modified Funds from Operations (MFFO) and Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) are non-GAAP financial measures, we believe FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted EBITDA calculations are helpful to stockholders and potential investors and are widely recognized measures of real estate investment trust (REIT) performance. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided reconciliations to these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
We calculate and report FFO, in accordance with the definitional and interpretive guidelines established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, and asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above. We believe that FFO, together with the GAAP measure of net income (loss), provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it is a measure of our operations without regard to specific non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization and asset impairment write-downs.
We calculate and report MFFO in accordance with the Investment Program Association’s (IPA) Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, (the “Practice Guideline”), issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income or loss: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to remove the impact of GAAP straight-line adjustments from rental revenues); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income (loss); nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income (loss) from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan; unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting; and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. We believe that MFFO is useful to investors in evaluating our performance because the exclusion of certain recurring and nonrecurring items described above provides useful supplemental information regarding our ongoing performance, and that MFFO, when combined with the primary GAAP measure of income (loss), is beneficial to a complete understanding of our operating performance.
Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations or as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Stockholders and investors should not rely on FFO and MFFO as a substitute for any GAAP measure. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no net asset value determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. FFO and MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO and MFFO.
Page 8 /CNL Lifestyle Properties Announces Third Quarter Results
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), less discontinued operations and other income, plus (i) interest expense, net, and loan cost amortization and (ii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of equity in earnings (loss) of our unconsolidated entities, straight-line adjustments for leased properties and mortgages and other notes receivables, cash distributions from our unconsolidated entities and certain other non-recurring items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized in the table below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
For additional information, please refer to our discussion of FFO, MFFO and Adjusted EBITDA included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2011.

FOOTNOTES:
(1) | While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. |
(2) | This amount represents our share of the FFO adjustments allowable under the NAREIT definition (primarily depreciation) multiplied by the percentage of income or loss recognized under the HLBV method. |
(3) | In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income (loss) and income (loss) from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. |

(4) | Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance. |
(5) | Management believes that adjusting for mark-to-market adjustments is appropriate because they are non-recurring items that may not be reflective of on-going operations and reflect unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon current operational issues related to an individual property or industry or general market conditions. The need to reflect mark-to-market adjustments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly and/or annual basis in accordance with GAAP. |
(6) | Management believes that adjusting for write-offs of lease related assets is appropriate because they are non-recurring non-cash adjustments that may not be reflective of our ongoing operating performance. |
Total FFO and FFO per share were approximately $51.3 million and $86.4 million or $0.17 and $0.29 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Comparatively, FFO and FFO per share was approximately $(8.3) million and $62.9 million or $(0.03) and $0.24 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The change in FFO and FFO per share for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to: (i) a reduction in loan loss provision and loss on lease terminations of approximately $40 million and $38.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively; (ii) an increase during the quarter and a reduction during the nine months in property-related income from the 17 attraction properties and one additional lifestyle property that were converted from leased structures to managed structures subsequent to September 30, 2011 whereby rental income of approximately $14.1 million was replaced with higher property net operating income of approximately $39.6 million for the quarter and rental income of approximately $36.9 million was replaced with lower property net operating income of approximately $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively; and (iii) an increase in interest expense and loan cost amortization as a result of the issuance of the unsecured senior notes during the first quarter of 2011 of approximately $4.3 million and $7.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Total MFFO and MFFO per share were approximately $54.3 million and $93.5 million or $0.18 and $0.31 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Comparatively, MFFO and MFFO per share were approximately $32.3 million and $98.9 million or $0.12 and $0.38 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease in MFFO and MFFO per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was principally due to an increase in interest expense of $7.6 million, as discussed above. The increase in MFFO and MFFO per share for the quarter months ended September 30, 2011 was principally due to the replacement of rental income, excluding straight-line rent adjustments, of approximately $12.2 million with higher property net operating income of approximately $39.6 million as a result of the transitioned properties and offset by an increase in interest expense of $4.3 million, each as discussed above.

FOOTNOTES:
(1) | Investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under the HLBV method of accounting. Under this method, we recognize income or loss based on the change in liquidating proceeds we would receive from a hypothetical liquidation of our investments based on depreciated book value. We adjust EBITDA for equity in earnings (loss) of our unconsolidated entities because we believe this is not reflective of the joint ventures’ operating performance or cash flows available for distributions to us. We believe cash distributions from our unconsolidated entities, exclusive of any financing transactions, are reflective of their operating performance and its impact to us and have been added back to adjusted EBITDA above. |
(2) | We believe that adjusting for straight-line adjustments for leased properties and mortgages and other notes receivable is appropriate because they are non-recurring non-cash adjustments that may not be reflective of our on-going operating performance. |
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $68.5 million from approximately $37.7 million and $122.5 million from $115.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in cash distributions of $7.8 million (primarily from the initial Sunrise joint venture). The increase for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in cash distributions of $4.1 million (primarily from the initial Sunrise joint venture) and the replacement of rental income, excluding straight-line rent adjustments, with property operating income for the transitioned properties discussed above.
