Second quarter results for Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. include the following:

     year-to-date 2006, respectively, from the following: gains on hotel

     dispositions, costs associated with the refinancing of senior notes and

     Starwood acquisition. By comparison, for the second quarter and

     year-to-date 2005, net income included a net gain of $17 million, or

    The Company also announced the following second quarter results for Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P.:

     * Net income increased $247 million to $343 million for the second

     $347 million for the second quarter and 24.2% to $559 million for

     year-to-date 2006.

    Adjusted EBITDA, FFO per diluted share and comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins (discussed below) are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). See the discussion included in this press release for information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.

    OPERATING RESULTS

    Comparable hotel RevPAR for the second quarter of 2006 increased 9.7% and comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins increased 2.1 percentage points when compared to the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter increases were driven by an 8.9% increase in average room rate and an increase in occupancy of 0.6 percentage points. Year-to-date 2006 comparable hotel RevPAR increased 8.7% (comprised of an 8.3% increase in average room rate and an increase in occupancy of 0.3 percentage points), while comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins increased 2.3 percentage points when compared to year-to-date 2005. Comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins were positively affected by the Company's food and beverage operations, which represent approximately 30% of the Company's revenues. Due to the continued shift toward higher-rated group business and additional catering business, food and beverage revenue growth at the Company's comparable hotels was 7.7% and 7.6% for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006, respectively, with food and beverage margins increasing significantly for both periods.

    For the 27 recently acquired Starwood hotels that the Company consolidates, which are not included in our comparable hotel results, RevPAR increased 13% for the second quarter when compared to the same period in 2005, assuming that the Company owned the hotels for the entire quarter.

    Christopher J. Nassetta, president and chief executive officer, stated, "We significantly exceeded the high-end of our expectations and analysts' consensus estimates by posting another quarter of strong RevPAR and margin growth."

    STARWOOD ACQUISITION

    On April 10, 2006, the Company acquired 25 domestic hotels and three foreign hotels from Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., or Starwood, for total consideration of approximately $3.1 billion. In connection with the Starwood acquisition, the Company entered into a joint venture in Europe on March 24, 2006. The aggregate size of the joint venture is approximately $640 million, including total capital contributions of approximately $227 million, of which approximately $72 million was contributed by the Company in the form of cash and through the contribution of the Sheraton Warsaw Hotel & Towers on May 2, 2006, which was acquired from Starwood on April 10, 2006. The European joint venture acquired four hotels from Starwood on May 3, 2006 and one hotel on June 13, 2006. On July 5, 2006, the Company and Starwood agreed that Starwood will retain ownership of the two Fijian hotels that were under contract as part of the original portfolio of 38 hotels to be acquired by the Company. The purchase price of these assets totaled $129 million, including $31 million of debt. The cash designated for the acquisition of the Fijian assets will be used for general corporate purposes.

    OTHER ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

    On May 17, 2006, the Company signed a definitive agreement to purchase The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, for approximately $393 million, including the assumption of $135 million of mortgage debt with an interest rate of approximately 5.08%. The 732-room resort, which opened in November 2002, is situated on 252 acres of fee simple property, including approximately five acres of undeveloped land, and includes a 27-hole golf course and a full-service spa. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2006 subject to customary closing conditions.

    BALANCE SHEET

    As of June 16, 2006, the Company had $524 million of cash and cash equivalents, approximately $260 million of which it expects to use to purchase The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa. The Company also currently has $575 million of availability under its credit facility.

    On April 4, 2006, the Company issued $800 million of 6 3/4% Series P senior notes due 2016 for net proceeds of approximately $787 million, which were used to fund a portion of the Starwood acquisition, redeem the remaining $136 million of 7 7/8% Series B senior notes, redeem all of the $150 million 10% Class C preferred stock and for other general corporate purposes. In addition, during the second quarter, the Company repaid the $84 million mortgage on the Boston Marriott Copley Place.

    2006 OUTLOOK

    The Company expects comparable hotel RevPAR to increase approximately 9% to 10% for the third quarter and 8.5% to 10% for the full year. For full year 2006, the Company also expects its operating profit margins under GAAP to increase approximately 200 basis points to 250 basis points and its comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins to increase approximately 160 basis points to 200 basis points. Based upon this guidance, the Company estimates that 2006 guidance for Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. would be as follows:

    Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

     * earnings per diluted share should be approximately $.06 to $.07 for

     the third quarter and $1.49 to $1.56 for the full year;

     * net income should be approximately $33 million to $39 million for the

     third quarter and $742 million to $774 million for the full year;

     * FFO per diluted share should be approximately $.26 to $.27 for the

     third quarter and $1.49 to $1.55 for the full year (including a charge

     of approximately $1 million and $30 million for the third quarter and

     full year, respectively, with minimal per diluted share effect for the

     third quarter and an approximately $.06 per diluted share effect for

     the full year, related to costs associated with debt or perpetual

     preferred stock expected to be refinanced or prepaid in 2006 and non-

     recurring costs related to the Starwood acquisition); and

     * common dividend will continue to show good growth for the remainder of

     the year.

    Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P.

     * net income should be approximately $35 million to $41 million for the

     third quarter and $772 million to $804 million for the full year; and

     * Adjusted EBITDA should be approximately $1,250 million to $1,285

     million for the full year.

     number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive

     securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under

     comprehensive stock plans, preferred OP Units held by minority

     partners, convertible debt securities and other minority interests

     that have the option to convert their limited partnership interests to

     common OP Units. No effect is shown for any securities that are anti-

     dilutive.

    (a) The third quarter and full year 2006 forecasts were based on the

     following assumptions (the comparable hotel guidance listed below does

     not include the Starwood portfolio):

     * Comparable hotel RevPAR will increase 9% to 10% for the third

     quarter and 8.5% to 10% for the full year for the low and high

     ends of the forecasted range, respectively.

     * Comparable hotel adjusted operating profit margins will increase 160

     basis points and 200 basis points for the full year for the low and

     high ends of the forecasted range, respectively.

     * RevPAR growth for the Starwood portfolio will be modestly higher

     than the RevPAR for the Company's comparable hotels for full year

     2006.

     * Approximately $925 million of hotels and other assets will be sold

     during 2006, including approximately $675 million of hotels already

     sold.

     * The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa will be acquired in the third

     quarter.

     * Approximately $736 million of debt and perpetual preferred stock has

     been, or will be, refinanced and approximately $173 million of debt

     has been or will be repaid. Charges, net of the minority interest

     benefit, totaling approximately $1 million (minimal FFO per diluted

     share effect) and $30 million ($.06 of FFO per diluted share)

     related to costs associated with the debt and perpetual preferred

     stock repayments and non-recurring costs related to the Starwood

     acquisition will be incurred for the third quarter and full year

     2006, respectively.

     * Fully diluted weighted average shares for FFO per diluted share will

     be 551.1 million and 515.0 million and for earnings per diluted

     share will be 522.6 million and 484.0 million for the third quarter

     and full year, respectively.

    The amounts shown in these forecasts are based on these and other assumptions, as well as management's estimate of operations for 2006. These forecasts are forward-looking and are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual transactions, results and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forecasts. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forecasts are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that the results will be materially different. Risks that may affect these assumption and forecasts include the following:

     * the level of RevPAR and margin growth may change significantly;

     * the amount and timing of acquisitions and dispositions of hotel

     properties is an estimate that can substantially affect financial

     results, including such items as net income, depreciation and gains

     (losses) on dispositions;

     * the level of capital expenditures may change significantly, which

     will directly affect the level of depreciation expense and net

     income; and

     * other risks and uncertainties associated with our business

     described herein and in the Company's filings with the SEC.

    (b) Represents FFO attributable to the minority interests in Host LP.

     Notes to Financial Information

    Reporting Periods for Statement of Operations

    The results we report in our consolidated statements of operations are based on results of our hotels reported to us by our hotel managers. Our hotel managers use different reporting periods. Marriott International, Inc., or Marriott International, the manager of the majority of our properties, uses a fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to December 31 and reports twelve weeks of operations for the first three quarters and sixteen or seventeen weeks for the fourth quarter of the year for its Marriott-managed hotels. In contrast, other managers of our hotels, such as Starwood and Hyatt, report results on a monthly basis. Additionally, Host, as a REIT, is required by tax laws to report results on a calendar year. As a result, we elected to adopt the reporting periods used by Marriott International except that our fiscal year always ends on December 31 to comply with REIT rules. Our first three quarters of operations end on the same day as Marriott International but our fourth quarter ends on December 31 and our full year results, as reported in our statement of operations, always includes the same number of days as the calendar year.

    Two consequences of the reporting cycle we have adopted are: (1) quarterly start dates will usually differ between years, except for the first quarter which always commences on January 1, and (2) our first and fourth quarters of operations and year-to-date operations may not include the same number of days as reflected in prior years. For example, the second quarter of 2006 ended on June 16, and the second quarter of 2005 ended on June 17, though both quarters reflect twelve weeks of operations. In contrast, the June 16, 2006 year-to-date operations included 167 days of operations, while the June 17, 2005 year-to-date operations included 168 days of operations.

    While the reporting calendar we adopted is more closely aligned with the reporting calendar used by the manager of a majority of our properties, one final consequence of our calendar is we are unable to report the month of operations that ends after our fiscal quarter-end until the following quarter because our hotel managers using a monthly reporting period do not make mid- month results available to us. Hence, the month of operation that ends after our fiscal quarter-end is included in our quarterly results of operations in the following quarter for those hotel managers (covering approximately 40% of our full-service hotels). As a result, our quarterly results of operations include results from hotel managers reporting results on a monthly basis as follows: first quarter (January, February), second quarter (March to May), third quarter (June to August) and fourth quarter (September to December). While this does not affect full-year results, it does affect the reporting of quarterly results.

    Reporting Periods for Hotel Operating Statistics and Comparable Hotel Results

    In contrast to the reporting periods for our consolidated statement of operations, our hotel operating statistics (i.e., RevPAR, average daily rate and average occupancy) and our comparable hotel results are always reported based on the reporting cycle used by Marriott International for our Marriott- managed hotels. This facilitates year-to-year comparisons, as each reporting period will be comprised of the same number of days of operations as in the prior year (except in the case of fourth quarters comprised of seventeen weeks (such as fiscal year 2002) versus sixteen weeks). This means, however, that the reporting periods we use for hotel operating statistics and our comparable hotel results may differ slightly from the reporting periods used for our statements of operations for the first and fourth quarters and the full year. Results from hotel managers reporting on a monthly basis are included in our operating statistics and comparable hotels results consistent with their reporting in our consolidated statement of operations herein:

    * Hotel results for the second quarter of 2006 reflect 12 weeks of

     operations for the period from March 25, 2006 to June 16, 2006 for our

     Marriott-managed hotels and results from March 1, 2006 to May 31, 2006

     for operations of all other hotels which report results on a monthly

     basis.

    * Hotel results for the second quarter of 2005 reflect 12 weeks of

     operations for the period from March 26, 2005 to June 17, 2005 for our

     Marriott-managed hotels and results from March 1, 2005 to May 31, 2005

     for operations of all other hotels which report results on a monthly

     basis.

    * Hotel results for year-to-date 2006 reflect 24 weeks for the period from

     December 31, 2005 to June 16, 2006 for our Marriott-managed hotels and

     results from January 1, 2006 to May 31, 2006 for operations of all other

     hotels which report results on a monthly basis.

    * Hotel results for year-to-date 2005 reflect 24 weeks for the period from

     January 1, 2005 to June 17, 2005 for our Marriott-managed hotels and

     results from January 1, 2005 to May 31, 2005 for operations of all other

     hotels which report results on a monthly basis.

    Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics

    We present certain operating statistics (i.e., RevPAR, average daily rate and average occupancy) and operating results (revenues, expenses, adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin) for the periods included in this report on a comparable hotel basis. We define our comparable hotels as full-service properties (i) that are owned or leased by us and the operations of which are included in our consolidated results, whether as continuing operations or discontinued operations, for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, and (ii) that have not sustained substantial property damage or business interruption or undergone large-scale capital projects during the reporting periods being compared. Of the 129 full-service hotels that we owned as of June 16, 2006, 97 hotels have been classified as comparable hotels. The operating results of the following hotels that we owned as of June 16, 2006 are excluded from comparable hotel results for these periods:

    * the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel (major renovation started in July

     2004);

    * the Mountain Shadows Resort (hotel to be sold pending completion of

     significant contingencies, which have not been resolved as of June 16,

     2006);

    * the Atlanta Marriott Marquis (major renovation started in August 2005);

    * the New Orleans Marriott (property damage and business interruption from

     Hurricane Katrina in August 2005);

    * the Hyatt Regency, Washington on Capitol Hill (acquired in September

     2005); and

    * the 27 consolidated hotels that we acquired from Starwood on April 10,

     2006.

    In addition, the operating results of the ten hotels we disposed of in 2006 and 2005 are also not included in comparable hotel results for the periods presented herein. Moreover, because these statistics and operating results are for our full-service hotel properties, they exclude results for our non-hotel properties and leased limited-service hotels.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Included in this press release are certain "non-GAAP financial measures," which are measures of our historical or future financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. They are as follows: (i) FFO per diluted share of Host, (ii) EBITDA of Host LP, (iii) Adjusted EBITDA of Host LP and (iv) Comparable Hotel Operating Results of Host. The following discussion defines these terms and presents why we believe they are useful supplemental measures of our performance.

    FFO per Diluted Share

    We present FFO per diluted share as a non-GAAP measure of our performance in addition to our earnings per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP). We calculate FFO per diluted share for a given operating period as our FFO (defined as set forth below) for such period divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during such period. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (losses) from sales of real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO on a per share basis after making adjustments for the effects of dilutive securities and the payment of preferred stock dividends, in accordance with NAREIT guidelines.

    We believe that FFO per diluted share is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance and that the presentation of FFO per diluted share, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of earnings per share, provides beneficial information to investors. By excluding the effect of real estate depreciation, amortization and gains and losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of lesser significance in evaluating current performance, we believe such measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs, even though FFO per diluted share does not represent an amount that accrues directly to holders of our common stock. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. As noted by NAREIT in its April 2002 "White Paper on Funds From Operations," since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For these reasons, NAREIT adopted the definition of FFO in order to promote an industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance.

    EBITDA

    Earnings before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries. Management believes EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it helps us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our properties and facilitates comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital-intensive companies. Management uses EBITDA to evaluate property-level results and as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions and, like FFO per diluted share, it is widely used by management in the annual budget process.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    As of July 18, 2006, Host owns approximately 96% of the partnership interest of Host LP and is its sole general partner. We conduct all of our operations through Host LP, and Host LP is the obligor on our senior notes and on our credit facility. Historically, management has adjusted EBITDA when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional recurring and non-recurring items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of our operating performance. In addition, the Adjusted EBITDA of Host LP is presented because we believe it is a relevant measure in calculating certain credit ratios, since Host LP is the owner of all of our hotels and is the obligor on our debt noted above. We adjust EBITDA for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDA:

    * Gains and Losses on Dispositions - We exclude the effect of gains and

     losses recorded on the disposition of assets in our consolidated

     statement of operations because we believe that including them in EBITDA

     is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our

     remaining assets. In addition, material gains or losses from the

     depreciated value of the disposed assets could be less important to

     investors given that the depreciated asset often does not reflect the

     market value of real estate assets (as noted above for FFO).

    * Consolidated Partnership Adjustments - We exclude the minority interest

     in the income or loss of our consolidated partnerships as presented in

     our consolidated statement of operations because we believe that

     including these amounts in EBITDA does not reflect the effect of the

     minority interest position on our performance because these amounts

     include our minority partners' pro-rata portion of depreciation,

     amortization and interest expense. However, we believe that the cash

     distributions paid to minority partners are a more relevant measure of

     the effect of our minority partners' interest on our performance, and we

     have deducted these cash distributions from Adjusted EBITDA.

    * Equity Investment Adjustments - We exclude the equity in earnings

     (losses) of unconsolidated investments in partnerships and joint

     ventures as presented in our consolidated statement of operations

     because our percentage interest in the earnings (losses) does not

     reflect the impact of our minority interest position on our performance

     and these amounts include our pro-rata portion of depreciation,

     amortization and interest expense. However, we believe that cash

     distributions we receive are a more relevant measure of the performance

     of our investment and, therefore, we include the cash distributed to us

     from these investments in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

    * Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle - Infrequently,

     the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) promulgates new

     accounting standards that require the consolidated statement of

     operations to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting

     principle. We exclude these one-time adjustments because they do not

     reflect our actual performance for that period.

    * Impairment Losses - We exclude the effect of impairment losses recorded

     because we believe that including them in EBITDA is not consistent with

     reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets. In

     addition, we believe that impairment charges are similar to gains

     (losses) on dispositions and depreciation expense, both of which are

     also excluded from EBITDA.

    Limitations on the Use of FFO per Diluted Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

    We calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or calculate FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidance. In addition, although FFO per diluted share is a useful measure when comparing our results to other REITs, it may not be helpful to investors when comparing us to non-REITs. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may also not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies. This information should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash from operations or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Cash expenditures for various long-term assets (such as renewal and replacement capital expenditures), interest expense (for EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA purposes only) and other items have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and FFO per diluted share presentations. Management compensates for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our consolidated statement of operations and cash flows include interest expense, capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, FFO per diluted share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. In addition, FFO per diluted share does not measure, and should not be used as a measure of, amounts that accrue directly to stockholders' benefit.
