InnSuites Hospitality Trust reported operating income of $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007, an improvement of $1.2 million from the prior year operating income of $349,000. This increase of over 300% reflects continuing improvement in the operations of the Trust's core hotels and successful rate management strategies.
The Trust reported a loss of $(46,000) attributable to Shares of Beneficial Interest or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007, down from net income of $542,000, or $0.06 per basic share and $0.02 per diluted share in the prior fiscal year. Prior year earnings reflected a $1.8 million gain on the sale of the Phoenix, AZ property, $1.3 million of which was attributable to Trust shareholders.
The Trust had a net loss attributable to Shares of Beneficial Interest of $(385,000), or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share, for the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2007, which was $223,000 lower than the $(162,000) reported for the same period in fiscal year 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a sharp increase in the income tax provision in the fourth quarter, which also adversely affected the Trust's full year results.
The Trust reported earnings before minority interest, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) of $4.6 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $4.4 million in fiscal year 2006 and $6.8 million in fiscal year 2005. Gains on sale of hotels and properties totaling $139,000, $1.8 million and $5.1 million are included in Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides meaningful insight into the Trust's cash flow performance.
