GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gaylord Entertainment
Company and its subsidiaries (the Company) and have been prepared by the Company, without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period have been
included. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for such
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
2. INCOME PER SHARE:
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is calculated as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Three Months Ended March 31, |
(in thousands) |
|
2008 |
|

Weighted average shares outstanding |

Effect of dilutive stock options |

Weighted average shares outstanding -
assuming dilution |
|
|
41,246 |
|
|
|
42,112 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the effect of dilutive stock options was the equivalent
of approximately 582,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Because the Company had a loss from
continuing operations in the three months ended March 31, 2008, these incremental shares were
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for those periods as the effect of
their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
3. COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME:
Comprehensive (loss) income is as follows for the three months of the respective periods:

IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER CHARGES:
The Company entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated as of November 19, 2007 (the
Purchase Agreement) with LCWW Partners, a Texas joint venture, and La Cantera Development
Company, a Delaware corporation (collectively, Sellers), to acquire the assets related to the
Westin La Cantera Resort, located in San Antonio, Texas (the La Cantera Resort). The Purchase
Agreement also provided for the Companys purchase of approximately 90 acres of undeveloped land
adjacent to the resort property.
On January 21, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment (the Amendment) with Sellers to the
Purchase Agreement. The Amendment extended the closing date under the Purchase Agreement to
April 30, 2008 (prior to the Amendment, the closing date was scheduled to occur no later than
January 31, 2008). The Amendment also provided that the $10.0 million deposit (the Deposit)
previously paid by the Company to an escrow agent under the Purchase Agreement, which was recorded
in property and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007,
would be released to Sellers, and that the Deposit would be non-refundable to the Company except in
connection with the voluntary and intentional default by Sellers in their obligations to be
performed on the closing date.
The Amendment conditioned the closing of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement on the
Company arranging financing satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion in order to fund the
transaction. On April 15, 2008, as permitted by the Amendment, the Company terminated the Purchase
Agreement on the basis that it did not obtain financing satisfactory to it. Pursuant to the terms
of the Purchase Agreement and the Amendment, the Company forfeited the $10.0 million deposit
previously paid to Sellers. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $12.0
million to write off the deposit, as well as certain transaction-related expenses that were also
capitalized in connection with the potential acquisition.
5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
The Company has reflected the following businesses as discontinued operations, consistent with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30,
Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business,
and Extraordinary, and Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. The results of
operations, net of taxes, and the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of these businesses
have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued
operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144 for all periods presented.
ResortQuest
During the third quarter of 2005, the Company committed to a plan of disposal of certain markets of
its ResortQuest business that were considered to be inconsistent with the Companys long term
growth strategy. The Company completed the sale of four of these markets in the fourth quarter of
2005, two of these markets in the first quarter of 2006, and the remaining two markets in the
second quarter of 2006.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of one additional market of its
ResortQuest business that was not included in the plan of disposal described above, but was later
determined to be inconsistent with the Companys long term growth strategy.
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company committed to a plan of disposal of the remainder of
its ResortQuest business. On May 31, 2007, the Company completed the sale of its ResortQuest Hawaii
operations through the transfer of all of its equity interests in its ResortQuest Hawaii
subsidiaries (ResortQuest Hawaii) to Vacation Holdings Hawaii, Inc., an affiliated company of
Interval International, for $109.1 million in cash, prior to giving effect to a purchase price
adjustment based on the working capital of ResortQuest Hawaii as of
7
the closing. The Company
retained its 19.9% ownership interest in RHAC Holdings, LLC and its 18.1% ownership interest in
Waipouli Holdings LLC, which ownership interests were excluded from this transaction. The Company
recognized a pretax gain of $50.0 million related to the sale of ResortQuest Hawaii during 2007.
Net cash proceeds from the sale of $107.7 million were used to reduce the Companys outstanding
indebtedness.
On June 1, 2007, the Company completed the sale of the remainder of the operations of its
ResortQuest subsidiary through the transfer of all of its capital stock in its ResortQuest Mainland
subsidiary (ResortQuest Mainland) to BEI-RZT Corporation, a subsidiary of Leucadia National
Corporation, for $35.0 million, prior to giving effect to certain purchase price adjustments,
including a purchase price adjustment based on the working capital of ResortQuest Mainland as of
the closing. The purchase price was paid by the delivery of a four-year promissory note in the
principal amount of $8.0 million bearing interest at the annual rate of 10%, and the balance of the
purchase price was paid in cash at closing. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company and BEI -
RZT Corporation reached an agreement that the Company would be required to pay approximately
$8.0 million to BEI RZT Corporation pursuant to the final purchase price adjustment. The Company
and BEI RZT Corporation also agreed that the four-year $8.0 million promissory note received from
BEI RZT Corporation at closing would be cancelled and deemed to be satisfied and paid in full in
full satisfaction of the approximately $8.0 million final purchase price adjustment described
above. As a result of the final purchase price adjustments and cancellation of the note, the
Company recognized a pretax loss of $59.5 million related to the sale of ResortQuest Mainland in
2007. In connection with the sale of ResortQuest Mainland, the Company recorded pre-tax
restructuring charges for employee severance benefits of $0.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. Net cash proceeds from the sale of $9.3 million were used to reduce the Companys
outstanding indebtedness.

6. DEBT:
8% Senior Notes
On November 12, 2003, the Company completed its offering of $350 million in aggregate principal
amount of senior notes due 2013 (the 8% Senior Notes) in an institutional private placement. The
Company filed an exchange offer registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC with respect to the
8% Senior Notes and subsequently exchanged the existing senior notes for publicly registered senior
notes with the same terms after the registration statement was declared effective in April 2004.
The interest rate on these notes is 8%, although the Company has entered into fixed to variable
interest rate swaps with respect to $125 million principal amount of the 8% Senior Notes, which
swaps result in an effective interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.95% with respect to
that portion of the 8% Senior Notes. The 8% Senior Notes, which mature on November 15, 2013, bear
interest semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, starting on May 15, 2004.
The 8% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part by the Company, at any time on or after
November 15, 2008 at a designated redemption amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 8%
Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with the Companys other unsecured unsubordinated
debt, but are effectively subordinated to all of the Companys secured debt to the extent of the
assets securing such debt. The 8% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly
and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by generally all of the Companys active domestic
subsidiaries. In connection with the offering and subsequent registration of the 8% Senior Notes,
the Company paid approximately $10.1 million in deferred financing costs. The net proceeds from the
offering of the 8% Senior Notes, together with $22.5 million of the Companys cash on hand, were
used as follows:
|
|
|
$275.5 million was used to repay the $150 million senior term loan portion and the $50
million subordinated term loan portion of a senior secured credit facility secured by the
Companys Florida and Texas hotel properties, as well as the remaining $66 million of a
mezzanine loan secured by the equity interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary that owned
Gaylord Opryland and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the ResortQuest
acquisition; and |
9
|
|
|
$79.2 million was placed in escrow pending consummation of the acquisition of
ResortQuest by the Company. As of November 20, 2003, the $79.2 million together with
$8.2 million of available cash, was used to repay (i) ResortQuests senior notes and its
credit facility, the principal amount of which aggregated $85.1 million at closing, and
(ii) a related prepayment penalty. |
The 8% Senior Notes indenture contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the
incurrence of additional indebtedness (including additional indebtedness under the Companys senior
secured delayed draw term loan facility), investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates,
asset sales, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other
matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The 8% Senior Notes are cross-defaulted to the
Companys other indebtedness.
6.75% Senior Notes
On November 30, 2004, the Company completed its offering of $225 million in aggregate principal
amount of senior notes due 2014 (the 6.75% Senior Notes) in an institutional private placement.
In April 2005, the Company filed an exchange offer registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC
with respect to the 6.75% Senior Notes and subsequently exchanged the existing senior notes for
publicly registered senior notes with the same terms after the registration statement was declared
effective in May 2005. The interest rate of these notes is 6.75%. The 6.75% Senior Notes, which
mature on November 15, 2014, bear interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 15 and
November 15 of each year, starting on May 15, 2005. The 6.75% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole
or in part by the Company, at any time on or after November 15, 2009 at a designated redemption
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 6.75% Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment
with the Companys other unsecured unsubordinated debt, but are effectively subordinated to all of
the Companys secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. The 6.75% Senior Notes
are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by
generally all of the Companys active domestic subsidiaries. In connection with the offering of
the 6.75% Senior Notes, the Company paid approximately $4.2 million in deferred financing costs.
The net proceeds from the offering of the 6.75% Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, were used
to repay a senior loan that was secured by a first mortgage lien on the assets of Gaylord Opryland
and to provide capital for growth of the Companys other businesses and other general corporate
purposes. In addition, the 6.75% Senior Notes indenture contains certain covenants which, among
other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness (including additional indebtedness
under the Companys senior secured delayed draw term loan facility), investments, dividends,
transactions with affiliates, asset sales, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, liens
and encumbrances and other matters
customarily restricted in such agreements. The 6.75% Senior Notes are cross-defaulted to the
Companys other indebtedness.
$600.0 Million Credit Facility
On March 10, 2005, the Company entered into a $600.0 million credit facility with Bank of America,
N.A. acting as the administrative agent. This credit facility, which replaced a $100.0 million
revolving credit facility, consisted of the following components: (a) a $300.0 million senior
secured revolving credit facility, which included a $50.0 million letter of credit sublimit, and
(b) a $300.0 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility, which could be drawn in one or
more advances during its term. The credit facility also included an accordion feature that allowed
the Company, on a one-time basis, to increase the credit facilities by a total of up to
$300.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending
institutions. At the Companys election, the revolving loans and the term loans had an interest
rate of LIBOR plus 2% or the lending banks base rate plus 1%, subject to adjustments based on the
Companys financial performance. Interest on the Companys borrowings was payable quarterly, in
arrears, for base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period for LIBOR rate-based
loans. Principal was payable in full at maturity. The Company was required to pay a commitment fee
ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per year of the average unused portion of the credit facility.
10
As a result of the refinancing of the $600.0 million credit facility, which is discussed below, the
Company wrote off $1.2 million in deferred financing costs during the first quarter of 2007, which
is included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
$1.0 Billion Credit Facility
On March 23, 2007, the Company refinanced its $600.0 million credit facility by entering into an
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company
party thereto, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as
administrative agent. The $1.0 billion amended and restated credit facility (the $1.0 Billion
Credit Facility) represents an increase of the Companys previous $600.0 million credit facility,
which is discussed above.
The $1.0 Billion Credit Facility consists of the following components: (a) a $300.0 million senior
secured revolving credit facility, which includes a $50.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a
$30.0 million sublimit for swingline loans, and (b) a $700.0 million senior secured delayed draw
term loan facility, which may be drawn on in one or more advances during its term. The $1.0 Billion
Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that will allow the Company to increase the $1.0
Billion Credit Facility by a total of up to $100.0 million, subject to securing additional
commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The revolving loan, letters of
credit and term loan mature on March 9, 2010. At the Companys election, the revolving loans and
the term loans will bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from
1.25% to 1.75% or the lending banks base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to
0.50%, subject to adjustments based on the Companys borrowing
base leverage. As further discussed in Note 8, the Company has also
entered into interest rate swaps with respect to $403.0 million
aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the delayed draw term
loan facility to convert the variable rate on these borrowings to a
fixed weighted average interest rate of 2.98% plus the applicable
margin on these borrowings during the term of the swap agreements. Interest on the
Companys borrowings is payable quarterly, in arrears, for base rate loans and at the end of each
interest rate period for LIBOR rate-based loans. Principal is payable in full at maturity. The
Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.35% per year of the average
unused portion of the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility.
The purpose of the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility is for working capital and capital expenditures and
the financing of the costs and expenses related to the continued construction of the Gaylord
National hotel. Construction of the Gaylord National hotel is required to be substantially
completed by October 31, 2008 (subject to customary force majeure provisions). Construction of the
Gaylord National hotel was substantially completed in April 2008.
The $1.0 Billion Credit Facility is (i) secured by a first mortgage and lien on the real property
and related personal and intellectual property of the Companys Gaylord Opryland hotel, Gaylord
Texan hotel, Gaylord Palms hotel and Gaylord National hotel (which was substantially completed in
April 2008, as described below) and pledges of equity interests in the entities that own such
properties and (ii) guaranteed by each of the four wholly owned subsidiaries that own the four
hotels. Advances are subject to a 60% borrowing base, based on the appraisal value of the hotel
properties (reduced to 50% in the event a hotel property is sold).
In addition, the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility contains certain covenants which, among other things,
limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with
affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other
matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants, ratios or
tests contained in the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility are as follows:
|
|
|
The Company must maintain a consolidated funded indebtedness to total
asset value ratio as of the end of each calendar quarter (i) following
the closing date of the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility through the
calendar quarter ending immediately prior to the first full quarter
during which the Gaylord National hotel is substantially completed, of
not more than 70% and (ii) for all calendar quarters thereafter, of
not more than 65%. |
11
|
|
|
The Company must maintain a consolidated tangible net worth of not
less than the sum of $550.0 million, increased on a cumulative basis
as of the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar
quarter ending March 31, 2005, by an amount equal to (i) 75% of
consolidated net income (to the extent positive) for the calendar
quarter then ended, plus (ii) 75% of the proceeds received by the
Company or any of the Companys subsidiaries in connection with any
equity issuance. |
|
|
|
|
The Company must maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage
ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00 for all calendar quarters during
the term of the credit facility. |
|
|
|
|
The Company must maintain an implied debt service coverage ratio (the
ratio of adjusted net operating income to monthly principal and
interest that would be required if the outstanding balance were
amortized over 25 years at an interest rate equal to the then current
seven year Treasury Note plus 0.25%) of not less than 1.60 to 1.00. |
As of March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. As of March 31, 2008,
$580.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility, and the
lending banks had issued $10.7 million of letters of credit under the facility for the Company,
which left $409.3 million of availability under the credit facility (subject to the satisfaction of
debt incurrence tests under the indentures governing our senior notes). The $1.0 Billion Credit
Facility is cross-defaulted to our other indebtedness.
7. SECURED FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACT:
During May 2000, the Company entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange contract (SFEC)
with an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston with respect to 10,937,900 shares of Viacom, Inc.
Class B common stock. Effective January 3, 2006, Viacom, Inc. completed a transaction to separate
Viacom, Inc. into two publicly traded companies named Viacom, Inc. and CBS Corporation by
converting (i) each outstanding share of Viacom, Inc. Class A common stock into 0.5 shares of
Viacom, Inc. Class A common stock and 0.5 shares of CBS Corporation Class A common stock and
(ii) each outstanding share of Viacom Class B common stock into 0.5 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B
common stock and 0.5 shares of CBS Corporation Class B common stock. As a result of this
transaction, the Company exchanged its 10,937,900 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B common
stock for 5,468,950 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B common stock (Viacom Stock) and 5,468,950
shares of CBS Corporation Class B common stock (CBS Stock) effective January 3, 2006.
Prior to its maturity in May 2007, the seven-year SFEC had a notional amount of $613.1 million and
required contract payments based upon a stated 5% rate. The Companys obligation under the SFEC
was collateralized by a security interest in the Companys Viacom Stock and CBS Stock. The SFEC
protected the Company against decreases in the combined fair market value of the Viacom Stock and
CBS Stock below $56.05 per share by way of a put option; the SFEC also provided for participation
in the increases in the combined fair market value of the Viacom Stock and CBS Stock in that the
Company received 100% of the appreciation between $56.05 and $64.45 per share and, by way of a call
option, 25.93% of the appreciation above $64.45 per share, as of March 31, 2007. The Company
realized cash proceeds from the SFEC of $506.5 million, net of discounted prepaid contract payments
and prepaid interest related to the first 3.25 years of the contract and transaction costs totaling
$106.6 million. In October 2000, the Company prepaid the remaining 3.75 years of contract interest
payments required by the SFEC of $83.2 million. As a result of the prepayment, the Company was not
required to make any further contract interest payments during the seven-year term of the SFEC.
Additionally, as a result of the prepayment, the Company was released from certain covenants of the
SFEC, which related to sales of assets, additional indebtedness and liens. The Company recognized
the prepaid contract payments and deferred financing charges associated with the SFEC as interest
expense over the seven-year contract period using the effective interest method, which resulted in
non-cash interest expense of $0 and $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively.
12
During May 2007, the SFEC matured and the Company delivered all of the Viacom Stock and CBS Stock
to Credit Suisse First Boston in full satisfaction of the $613.1 million debt obligation under the
SFEC. As a result, the debt obligation, Viacom Stock, CBS Stock, put option, call option, and
deferred financing costs related to the SFEC were removed from the consolidated balance sheet.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, as amended, certain components of the secured
forward exchange contract are considered derivatives, as discussed in Note 8.
8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage risk exposure to changes in the
variable interest rate on portions of its variable rate debt, changes in the value of portions of
its fixed rate debt, and changes in the prices at which the Company purchases natural gas. Prior
to May 2007, the Company also used derivative financial instruments to manage risk exposure to
changes in the value of its Viacom Stock and CBS Stock.
Variable Rate Debt
On February 26, 2008, the Company entered into a series of forward-starting interest rate swaps
with a combined notional amount of $403.0 million to convert the variable rate on $403.0 million
aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the delayed draw term loan portion of the Companys
$1.0 Billion Credit Facility to a fixed rate to manage the Companys exposure to changes in
interest rates on these borrowings. Under these swap agreements, which expire on various dates
through March 9, 2010, the Company receives a variable rate equal to 3-month LIBOR and pays a
weighted average fixed rate of 2.98% during the term of the swap agreements. The critical terms of
the swap agreements match the critical terms of the borrowings under the delayed draw term loan
portion of the Companys $1.0 Billion Credit Facility. The Company has designated these interest
rate swaps as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2008, the Company determined that, based upon
dealer quotes, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was a $4.4 million liability.
The Company recorded a derivative liability of $4.4 million and accumulated other comprehensive
income, net of tax, of $2.8 million. The Company recorded no ineffectiveness through operations
related to these interest rate swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Fixed Rate Debt
Upon issuance of the 8% Senior Notes, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements
with a combined notional amount of $125.0 million to convert the fixed rate on $125.0 million of
the 8% Senior Notes to a variable rate in order to access the lower borrowing costs that were
available on floating-rate debt. Under these swap agreements, which mature on November 15, 2013,
the Company receives a fixed rate of 8% and pays a variable rate, in arrears, equal to six-month
LIBOR plus 2.95%. The terms of the swap agreement mirror the terms of the 8% Senior Notes,
including semi-annual settlements on the 15th of May and November each year. Under the
provisions of SFAS No. 133, as amended, changes in the fair value of this interest rate swap
agreement must be offset against the corresponding change in fair value of the 8% Senior Notes
through earnings. The Company has determined that there will not be an ineffective portion of this
fair value hedge and, therefore, no impact on earnings. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
the Company determined that, based upon dealer quotes, the fair value of these interest rate swap
agreements was $4.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The Company recorded a derivative asset
and an offsetting increase in the balance of the 8% Senior Notes accordingly.

Natural Gas Risk Management
The Company uses variable to fixed natural gas price swap contracts to manage unanticipated changes
in natural gas and electricity prices. The contracts are based on forecasted usage of natural gas
measured in dekatherms.
The Company has designated the variable to fixed natural gas price swap contracts as cash flow
hedges. The Company values the outstanding contracts based on pricing provided by a financial
institution and reviewed by the Company, with the offset applied to other comprehensive income, net
of applicable income taxes, and earnings for any hedge ineffectiveness. Any gain or loss is
reclassified from other comprehensive income and recognized in operating costs in the same period
or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
At March 31, 2008, the Company had variable to fixed natural gas price swap contracts that mature
from April 2008 to June 2008 with an aggregate notional amount of approximately 353,000 dekatherms.
The fair value of these contracts was $0.9 million as of March 31, 2008. The Company recorded a
derivative asset and an offsetting increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of
applicable income taxes, accordingly. At December 31, 2007, the Company had variable to fixed
natural gas price swap contracts that matured from January 2008 to June 2008 with an aggregate
notional amount of approximately 601,000 dekatherms. The fair value of these contracts was $45,000.
The Company recorded a derivative asset and an offsetting increase in accumulated other
comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes, accordingly.
The ineffective portion of the derivative is recognized in other gains and losses within the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and was not significant for the
periods reported. The amount that the Company anticipates that will be reclassified out of
accumulated other comprehensive loss and into earnings in the next twelve months is a gain of
approximately $0.9 million.
Viacom Stock and CBS Stock
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company valued the SFEC based on pricing provided by a financial
institution and reviewed by the Company. The financial institutions market prices are prepared on
a mid-market basis by reference to proprietary models and do not reflect any bid/offer spread. As
further discussed in Note 7, the SFEC matured in May 2007. For the three months ended March 31,
2007, the Company recorded net pretax gains in the Companys condensed consolidated statement of
operations of $9.6 million related to the increase in the fair value of the derivatives associated
with the SFEC.

11. STOCK PLANS:
The Company has adopted, and the Companys shareholders have approved, the 2006 Omnibus Incentive
Plan (the Plan) to replace the Companys 1997 Omnibus Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The Plan
permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units to its directors
and employees for up to
2,690,000 shares of common stock, which includes approximately 2,000,000 newly authorized shares
and 690,000 shares that were authorized and available for grant under the Companys 1997 plan. The
Plan also provides that no more than 1,350,000 of those shares may be granted for awards other than
options or stock appreciation rights. The Company believes that awards under the Plan better align
the interests of its directors and employees with those of its shareholders. Stock option awards
are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Companys stock at
the date of grant and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. Generally, stock options
granted to non-employee directors are exercisable after one year from the date of grant, while
options granted to employees are exercisable one to four years from the date of grant. The Company
records compensation expense equal to the fair value of each stock option award granted on a
straight line basis over the options vesting period. The fair value of each option award is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. At March 31,
2008 and December 31, 2007, there were 3,992,025 and 3,668,728 shares, respectively, of the
Companys common stock reserved for future issuance pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock
options under the Plan.
The Plan also provides for the award of restricted stock and restricted stock units (Restricted
Stock Awards). Restricted Stock Awards granted to non-employee directors generally vest one year
from the date of grant, with certain restrictions on transfer. Restricted Stock Awards granted to
employees generally vest one to four years from the date of grant. The fair value of Restricted
Stock Awards is determined based on the market price of the Companys stock at the date of grant.
The Company records compensation expense equal to the fair value of each Restricted Stock Award
granted over the vesting period. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Restricted Stock Awards
of 142,876 and 95,630 shares, respectively, were outstanding.
Under its Performance Accelerated Restricted Stock Unit Program (PARSUP) pursuant to the Plan,
the Company granted selected executives and other key employees restricted stock units, the vesting
of which occurred upon the earlier of February 2008 or the achievement of various company-wide
performance goals.
15
The fair value of PARSUP awards was determined based on the market price of the
Companys stock at the date of grant. The Company recorded compensation expense equal to the fair
value of each PARSUP award granted on a straight line basis over a period beginning on the grant
date and ending February 2008. All PARSUP awards vested in February 2008, but certain recipients
elected to defer receipt of their vested PARSUP awards. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
PARSUP awards of 178,000 and 521,000 shares were outstanding.
Under its long term incentive plan for key executives (LTIP) pursuant to the Plan, in February
2008 the Company granted selected executives and other key employees 449,500 restricted stock units
(LTIP Restricted Stock Units) and 650,000 stock options (LTIP Stock Options), which will
replace annual grants of stock based compensation awards to these employees over the next three
years. The LTIP Restricted Stock Units cliff vest at the end of their four-year term. The number
of LTIP Restricted Stock Units that vest will be determined at the end of their term based on the
achievement of various company-wide performance goals. The Company expects that the performance
goals will be achieved and all of the LTIP Restricted Stock Units granted will vest at the end of
their term. The Company is recording compensation expense equal to the fair value of all LTIP
Restricted Stock Units granted on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of
the LTIP Restricted Stock Units was determined based on the market price of the Companys stock at
the date of grant. The LTIP Stock Options, which vest two to four
years from the date of
grant and have a term of ten years, were granted with an exercise price of $38.00, while the market
price of the Companys common stock on the grant date was $31.02. As a result of this market
condition, the Company will record compensation expense equal to the fair value of each LTIP Stock
Option granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately
vesting portion of the award. At March 31, 2008 LTIP Restricted Stock Units and LTIP Stock Options
of 449,500 and 650,000 shares were outstanding.
The compensation cost that has been charged against pre-tax income for all of the Companys
stock-based compensation plans was $2.9 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan whereby substantially all employees are
eligible to participate in the purchase of designated shares of the Companys common stock.
Participants in the plan purchase these shares at a price equal to 95% of the closing price at the
end of each quarterly stock purchase period. The Company issued 4,968 and 2,856 shares of common
stock at an average price per share of $28.78 and $50.23 pursuant to this plan during the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

13. INCOME TAXES:
The Companys effective tax rate as applied to pre-tax income was 28% and 79% for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Companys lower effective tax rate during the
three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, was due primarily to the
tax effects of intercompany interest charged to ResortQuest International, Inc. during the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and the tax effects of a statutory rate change in the three months
ended March 31, 2008.
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had $15.1 million of unrecognized tax
benefits, of which $7.5 million would affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. These
liabilities are recorded in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheets. It is expected that the
unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months; however, the Company does not
expect the change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial
position of the Company.
14. NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS
No. 158 requires plan sponsors of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans
(collectively, postretirement benefit plans) to recognize the funded status of their
postretirement benefit plans in the statement of financial position, measure the fair value of plan
assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the fiscal year-end statement of financial
position, and provide additional disclosures. On December 31, 2006, we adopted the recognition and
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 158 on the Companys
financial condition at December 31, 2006 has been included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. SFAS No. 158s provisions regarding the change in the measurement date of
postretirement benefit plans is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The
Company will adopt the measurement date provision in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 158 to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of
a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is
sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity
that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among
other requirements, SFAS No. 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that
include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also
requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of
17
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. This
statement is effective prospectively, except for certain retrospective disclosure requirements, for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt the provisions of this
statement in the first quarter of 2009. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this
statement on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinationsa replacement of FASB
Statement No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and applies to
all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other
businesses. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another
entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at
fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and
measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of
that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. SFAS No. 141(R) requires
acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under SFAS No. 141. Under SFAS
No. 141(R), the requirements of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities, would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase
accounting. Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a
non-contractual contingency that is not likely to materialize, in which case, no amounts should be
recognized in purchase accounting and, instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable
and estimable recognition criteria of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This statement is
effective prospectively, except for certain retrospective adjustments to deferred tax balances, for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt the provisions of this
statement in the first quarter of 2009. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this
statement on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial
reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to
enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. The Company will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of
2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 may have on
the financial statements.
15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
On February 23, 2005, the Company acquired approximately 42 acres of land and related land
improvements in Prince Georges County, Maryland for approximately $29 million on which the Company
is developing the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center (Gaylord National). Gaylord
National was substantially completed and opened in April 2008. Approximately $17 million of the
cost of the land was paid in the first quarter of 2005, and an additional $2 million was paid upon
substantial completion of Gaylord National in April 2008. The remaining $10 million of the cost of
the land, which is subject to downward adjustment based on the
completion of certain development milestones, is expected to be paid within the next twelve
months. The project was originally planned to include a 1,500 room hotel, but the Company expanded
the planned hotel to a total of 2,000 rooms. In connection with this expansion, the Company paid an
additional $8 million in April 2008 for land improvements related to the expanded facility. Prince
Georges County, Maryland has issued three series of bonds related to the development of this hotel
project. The first bond issuance, in the amount of $65 million, was issued by Prince Georges
County, Maryland in April 2005 to support the cost of infrastructure being constructed by the
project developer, such as roads, water and sewer lines. The second and third bond issues, in the
amount of $95 million and $50 million, respectively, were delivered to the Company on April 2,
2008. The Company will initially hold the $95 million and $50 million bond issuances and receive
the debt service thereon, which is payable from tax increment, hotel tax and special hotel rental
taxes generated from the development. Accordingly, during the second
quarter of 2008, the Company will record the present value of the
future debt service payments as a bond receivable with a like amount
as an offset to property and equipment. The Company has entered into commitments for various
expenditures in connection with our Gaylord National development, including for the purchase of
18
land, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and procuring services in connection with the
development. The Company has entered into several agreements with a general contractor and other
suppliers for the provision of certain construction services at the site. Construction costs to date have exceeded the Companys initial estimates from 2004.
These increased costs are attributable to: (a) construction materials price escalation that has
occurred over the past four years; (b) increased cost of construction labor in the Washington, D.C.
marketplace due to historically low unemployment and a high degree of construction activity;
(c) the Companys 500-room expansion and related additional meeting space, and the acceleration of
its construction so that the expansion opened concurrently with the original project; and
(d) enhancements to the project design. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has spent approximately
$846.7 million (excluding $65.9 million of capitalized interest
and $45.6 million in preopening costs) on this project and has
accrued an additional $113.8 million in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet. The Company
expects it will receive additional billings as well as proposed change orders from the general
contractor for additional costs. The Company intends to vigorously negotiate any such proposed
changes with the general contractor to minimize any cost increases.
On July 25, 2006, the Unified Port of San Diego Board of Commissioners and the City of Chula Vista
approved a non-binding letter of intent with the Company, outlining the general terms of our
development of a 1,500 to 2,000 room convention hotel in Chula Vista, California. The parties
extended the termination date for the non-binding letter of intent to May 31, 2008, and
the parties continue to discuss the terms under which the Company would develop and operate the
convention hotel project. If the parties can reach a final agreement, such agreement would be
subject to a number of closing conditions and approvals, including but not limited to
approval by the California Coastal Commission. At this time, the Company is unable to predict
whether such approvals would be forthcoming.
The Company is considering other potential hotel sites throughout the country. The timing and
extent of any of these development projects is uncertain, and the Company has not made any
commitments, received any government approvals or made any financing plans in connection with these
development projects.
On June 20, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with RREEF Global
Opportunities Fund II, LLC, a private real estate fund managed by DB Real Estate Opportunities
Group (RREEF), and acquired a 19.9% ownership interest in the joint venture, Waipouli Holdings,
LLC, in exchange for the Companys capital contribution of $3.8 million to Waipouli Holdings, LLC.
On June 20, 2006, through a wholly-owned subsidiary named Waipouli Owner, LLC, Waipouli Holdings,
LLC acquired the 311-room ResortQuest Kauai Beach at Makaiwa Hotel and related assets located in
Kapaa, Hawaii (the Kauai Hotel) for an aggregate purchase
price of $70.8 million. Waipouli Owner,
LLC financed the purchase of the Kauai Hotel by entering into a series of loan transactions with
Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital, Inc. (the Kauai Hotel Lender) consisting of a $52.0 million
senior loan secured by the Kauai Hotel, an $8.2 million senior mezzanine loan secured by the
ownership interest of Waipouli Owner, LLC, and an $8.2 million junior mezzanine loan secured by the
ownership interest of Waipouli Owner, LLC (collectively, the Kauai Hotel Loans). In
October 2006, Waipouli Owner, LLC requested RREEF and the Company to make an additional capital
contribution of $1.7 million to Waipouli Holdings, LLC to fund the purchase of the land on which
the Kauai Hotel is built. The Company elected not to make the requested capital contribution, which
diluted its ownership interest in Waipouli Holdings, LLC from 19.9% to 18.1% as of March 31, 2008.
In connection with Waipouli Owner, LLCs execution of the Kauai Hotel Loans, RREEF entered into
three separate Guaranties of Recourse Obligations with the Kauai Hotel Lender whereby it guaranteed
Waipouli Owner, LLCs obligations under the Kauai Hotel Loans for as long as those loans remain
outstanding (i) in the event of certain types of fraud, breaches of environmental representations
or warranties, or breaches of certain special purpose entity covenants by Waipouli Owner, LLC, on
the one hand, or (ii) in the event of bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings of Waipouli Owner,
LLC, on the other hand. As a part of the joint venture arrangement and simultaneously with the
closing of the purchase of the Kauai Hotel, the Company entered into a Contribution
19
Agreement with
RREEF, whereby the Company agreed that, in the event that RREEF is required to make any payments
pursuant to the terms of these guarantees, it will contribute to RREEF an amount equal to its pro
rata share of any such guaranty payments. The Company estimates that the maximum potential amount
that the Company could be liable for under this contribution agreement is $12.4 million, which
represents 18.1% of the $68.4 million of total debt that Waipouli Owner, LLC owes to the Kauai
Hotel Lender as of March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had not recorded any liability
in the condensed consolidated balance sheet associated with this guarantee. The Company retained
its ownership interest in Waipouli Holdings, LLC after the sale of ResortQuest Hawaii.
On May 31, 2005, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary named RHAC, LLC, entered into an
agreement to purchase the 716-room Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel and related assets located in
Honolulu, Hawaii (the Waikiki Hotel) for an aggregate purchase price of $107.0 million.
Simultaneously with this purchase, G.O. IB-SIV US, a private real estate fund managed by DB Real
Estate Opportunities Group (IB-SIV), acquired an 80.1% ownership interest in the parent company
of RHAC, LLC, RHAC Holdings, LLC, in exchange for its capital contribution of $19.1 million to RHAC
Holdings, LLC. As a part of this transaction, the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement
with IB-SIV and retained a 19.9% ownership interest in RHAC Holdings, LLC in exchange for its $4.7
million capital contribution to RHAC Holdings, LLC. RHAC, LLC financed the purchase of the Waikiki
Hotel by entering into a series of loan transactions with Greenwich Capital Financial Products,
Inc. (the Waikiki Hotel Lender) consisting of a $70.0 million senior loan secured by the Waikiki
Hotel and a $16.3 million mezzanine loan secured by the ownership interest of RHAC, LLC
(collectively, the Waikiki Hotel Loans). On September 29, 2006, RHAC, LLC refinanced the Waikiki
Hotel Loans with the Waikiki Hotel Lender, which resulted in the mezzanine loan increasing from
$16.3 million to $34.9 million. In connection with RHAC, LLCs execution of the Waikiki Hotel
Loans, IB-SIV, entered into
two separate Guaranties of Recourse Obligations with the Waikiki Hotel Lender whereby it guaranteed
RHAC, LLCs obligations under the Waikiki Hotel Loans for as long as those loans remain outstanding
(i) in the event of certain types of fraud, breaches of environmental representations or
warranties, or breaches of certain special purpose entity covenants by RHAC, LLC, on the one
hand, or (ii) in the event of bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings of RHAC, LLC, on the other
hand. As a part of the joint venture arrangement and simultaneously with the closing of the
purchase of the Waikiki Hotel, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with IB-SIV,
whereby the Company agreed that, in the event that IB-SIV is required to make any payments pursuant
to the terms of these guarantees, it will contribute to IB-SIV an amount equal to 19.9% of any such
guaranty payments. The Company estimates that the maximum potential amount for which the Company
could be liable under this contribution agreement is $20.9 million, which represents 19.9% of the
$104.9 million of total debt that RHAC, LLC owes to the Waikiki Hotel Lender as of March 31, 2008.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had not recorded any liability in the condensed consolidated
balance sheet associated with this guarantee. The Company retained its ownership interest in RHAC
Holdings, LLC after the sale of ResortQuest Hawaii.
On February 22, 2005, the Company concluded the settlement of litigation with Nashville Hockey Club
Limited Partnership (NHC), which owns the Nashville Predators NHL hockey team, over (i) NHCs
obligation to redeem the Companys ownership interest, and (ii) the Companys obligations under the
Nashville Arena Naming Rights Agreement dated November 24, 1999. Under the Naming Rights Agreement,
which had a 20-year term through 2018, the Company was required to make annual payments to NHC,
beginning at $2,050,000 in 1999 and with a 5% escalation each year thereafter, and to purchase a
minimum number of tickets to Predators games each year. At the closing of the settlement, NHC
redeemed all of the Companys outstanding limited partnership units in the Predators pursuant to a
Purchase Agreement dated February 22, 2005 effectively terminating the Companys ownership interest
in the Predators. In addition, the Naming Rights Agreement was cancelled pursuant to the
Acknowledgment of Termination of Naming Rights Agreement. As a part of the settlement, the Company
made a one-time cash payment to NHC of $4 million and issued to NHC a 5-year, $5 million promissory
note bearing interest at 6% per annum. The note is payable at $1 million per year for 5 years, and
the second payment was made on October 5, 2007. The Companys obligation to pay the outstanding
amount under the note shall terminate immediately if, at any time before the note is paid in full,
the
20
Predators cease to be an NHL team playing their home games in Nashville, Tennessee. In
addition, pursuant to a Consent Agreement among the Company, the National Hockey League and owners
of NHC, the Companys guaranty described below has been limited as described below.
In connection with the Companys execution of an Agreement of Limited Partnership with NHC on
June 25, 1997, the Company, its subsidiary CCK, Inc., Craig Leipold, Helen Johnson-Leipold (Mr.
Leipolds wife) and Samuel C. Johnson (Mr. Leipolds father-in-law) entered into a guaranty
agreement executed in favor of the National Hockey League (NHL). This agreement provides for a
continuing guarantee of the following obligations for as long as any of these obligations remain
outstanding: (i) all obligations under the expansion agreement between NHC and the NHL; and (ii)
all operating expenses of NHC. The maximum potential amount which the Company and CCK,
collectively, could be liable under the guaranty agreement is $15.0 million, although the Company
and CCK would have recourse against the other guarantors if required to make payments under the
guarantee. In connection with the legal settlement with the Nashville Predators consummated on
February 22, 2005, this guaranty has been limited so that the Company is not responsible for any
debt, obligation or liability of NHC that arises from any act, omission or circumstance occurring
after the date of the legal settlement. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had not recorded any
liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet associated with this guarantee.
The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is involved in certain legal actions and claims on
a variety of other matters. It is the opinion of management that such legal actions will not have a
material effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity of the Company.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157).
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157
during the first quarter of 2008. Although the adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not materially impact
its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow, the Company is now required to
provide additional disclosures as part of its financial statements.
SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in
measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted
prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets
that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in
which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own
assumptions.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company held certain assets and liabilities that are required to be
measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included the Companys derivative instruments
related to interest rates and natural gas prices.
The Companys interest rate and natural gas derivative instruments consist of over-the-counter
(OTC) swap contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. See Note 8 for further
information on the Companys derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company determines
the fair values of these swap contracts based on quotes by counterparties to these contracts.
Therefore, the Company has categorized these swap contracts as Level 2. The Company has
consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believes it has
obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts it holds.
The Companys assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 157 at March 31, 2008, were as follows:

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilitiesincluding an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to
choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Unrealized gains and
losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date. The fair value option (i) may be applied instrument by instrument, with
certain exceptions, (ii) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs) and (iii) is applied
only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. The Company adopted the provisions
of this statement in the first quarter of 2008. The Company has elected not to apply the fair value
option to any of its financial instruments, so the adoption of this statement did not have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
17.
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM:
On February 7, 2008, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a stock repurchase
program to repurchase up to $80 million of the Companys common stock. This program is intended to
be implemented through purchases made from time to time in the open market in accordance with
applicable SEC requirements. The timing, prices and sizes of purchases will depend upon prevailing
stock prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations. The repurchase
program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the
repurchase program may be suspended at any time at the Companys discretion. During the three
months ended March 31, 2008, the Company repurchased 656,700 shares of its common stock
at a weighted average purchase price of $30.42 per share.

18. FINANCIAL REPORTING BY BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
The Companys continuing operations are organized and managed based upon its products and services.
The following information from continuing operations is derived directly from the segments
internal financial reports used for corporate management purposes. As further discussed in Note 5,
the Company disposed of its ResortQuest segment during the second quarter of 2007. The results of
operations of the ResortQuest segment have been reflected as discontinued operations for all
periods presented.

19. INFORMATION CONCERNING GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES:
Not all of the Companys subsidiaries have guaranteed the 8% Senior Notes and 6.75% Senior Notes.
The 8% Senior Notes and 6.75% Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by generally
all of the Companys active domestic subsidiaries (the Guarantors). The Companys investment in
joint ventures and certain discontinued operations and inactive subsidiaries (the Non-Guarantors)
do not guarantee the 8% Senior Notes and 6.75% Senior Notes.
Prior to May 31, 2007, ResortQuest and its subsidiaries were guarantor subsidiaries and were
included in the results of operations and cash flows of the Guarantors for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 in the consolidating financial information presented below. As further discussed in
Note 5, on May 31, 2007 and June 1, 2007, the Company sold ResortQuest and its subsidiaries and
they were released from their guaranties of the 8% Senior Notes and 6.75% Senior Notes. Therefore,
the Company has classified the balance sheet, results of operations, and cash flows of ResortQuest
and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 with the Non-Guarantors in the consolidating financial information presented below.
The condensed consolidating financial information includes certain allocations of revenues and
expenses based on managements best estimates, which are not necessarily indicative of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows that these entities would have achieved on a stand
alone basis.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our Current Operations
Our operations are organized into three principal business segments:
|
|
|
Hospitality, consisting of our Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center (Gaylord
Opryland), our Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center (Gaylord Palms), our Gaylord
Texan Resort and Convention Center (Gaylord Texan), our Radisson Hotel at Opryland
(Radisson Hotel) and, commencing in April 2008, our Gaylord National Resort and Convention
Center (Gaylord National), which was substantially completed in April 2008. |
|
|
|
|
Opry and Attractions, consisting of our Grand Ole Opry assets, WSM-AM and our Nashville
attractions. |
|
|
|
|
Corporate and Other, consisting of our ownership interests in certain entities and our
corporate expenses. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, our total revenues were divided among these
business segments as follows:

We generate a substantial portion of our revenues from our Hospitality segment. We believe that we
are the only hospitality company whose stated primary focus is on the large group meetings and
conventions sector of the lodging market. Our strategy is to continue this focus by concentrating
on our All-in-One-Place self-contained service offerings and by emphasizing customer rotation
among our convention properties, while also offering additional entertainment opportunities to
guests and target customers.
Our concentration in the hospitality industry, and in particular the large group meetings sector of
the hospitality industry, exposes us to certain risks outside of our control. General economic
conditions, particularly national and global economic conditions, can affect the number and size of
meetings and conventions attending our hotels. Recent events, including fallout from problems in
the U.S. subprime mortgage market, indicate a potential near-term recession in the national
economy. A recession or downturn in the national economy or in a region constituting a significant
source of customers for any of our properties, or the public perception that a recession or
downturn might occur, could result in fewer advance bookings, fewer transient customers visiting
our properties, and/or guests spending less money at our properties, each of which could adversely
affect our results of operations. While we believe that the large group customers that make up the
core of our revenues are less susceptible to changes in economic conditions, there can be no
assurance that a downturn in general economic conditions would not have an adverse effect on the
Companys results of operations.
Our business is also exposed to risks related to tourism, including terrorist attacks and other
global events which affect levels of tourism in the United States and, in particular, the areas of
the country in which our properties are located. Competition and the desirability of the locations
in which our properties are located are also
32
important risks to our business. See Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008, for additional
discussion regarding the risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our
expected or historical results.
Recent Developments
Termination of Purchase Agreement for Westin La Cantera Resort. We entered into an Agreement of
Purchase and Sale dated as of November 19, 2007 (the Purchase Agreement) with LCWW Partners, a
Texas joint venture, and La Cantera Development Company, a Delaware corporation (collectively,
Sellers), to acquire the assets related to the Westin La Cantera Resort, located in San Antonio,
Texas (the La Cantera Resort). The Purchase Agreement also provided for our purchase of
approximately 90 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to the resort property.
On January 21, 2008, we entered into an amendment (the Amendment) with Sellers to the Purchase
Agreement. The Amendment extended the closing date under the Purchase Agreement to April 30, 2008
(prior to the Amendment, the closing date was scheduled to occur no later than January 31, 2008).
The Amendment also provided that the $10.0 million deposit (the Deposit) previously paid by us to
an escrow agent under the Purchase Agreement would be released to Sellers, and that the Deposit
would be non-refundable to us except in connection with the voluntary and intentional default by
Sellers in their obligations to be performed on the closing date.
The Amendment conditioned the closing of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement on us
arranging financing satisfactory to us in our sole discretion in order to fund the transaction. On
April 15, 2008, as permitted by the Amendment, we terminated the Purchase Agreement on the basis
that we did not obtain financing satisfactory to us. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement and the Amendment, we forfeited the $10.0 million deposit previously paid to Sellers. As
a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $12.0 million to write off the deposit, as well as
certain transaction-related expenses that were also capitalized in connection with the potential
acquisition.
ResortQuest. Following the closing of the sale of our interest in Bass Pro Group, LLC, on May 31,
2007, our wholly-owned subsidiary, ResortQuest International, Inc. (RQI), completed the sale of
all of the equity interests of RQI Holdings, LLC (f/k/a RQI Holdings, Ltd.) and ResortQuest Real
Estate of Hawaii, LLC (f/k/a ResortQuest Real Estate of Hawaii, Inc.) to Vacation Holdings Hawaii,
Inc., an affiliated company of Interval International (Vacation Holdings), pursuant to the terms
of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April 18, 2007 (the ResortQuest Hawaii Purchase
Agreement), by and among us, RQI, Vacation Holdings and Interval Acquisition Corp. The purchase
price paid by Vacation Holdings was $109.1 million, prior to giving effect to a purchase price
adjustment based on the working capital of the acquired entities as of the closing. The purchase
price was paid in cash in full at closing. We retained our 19.9% ownership interest in RHAC
Holdings, LLC and our 18.1% ownership interest in Waipouli Holdings LLC, as our ownership interests
in these hotel ownership joint venture entities were excluded from this transaction.
Thereafter, on June 1, 2007, we and Gaylord Hotels entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as
of June 1, 2007 (the ResortQuest Mainland Purchase Agreement) with BEI-RZT Corporation, a
subsidiary of Leucadia National Corporation (BEI-RZT). Pursuant to the terms of the ResortQuest
Mainland Purchase Agreement, Gaylord Hotels completed the sale of all of the capital stock of RQI
to BEI-RZT on June 1, 2007. The purchase price paid by BEI-RZT was $35.0 million, prior to giving
effect to certain purchase price adjustments, including a purchase price adjustment based on the
working capital of RQI as of the closing. The purchase price was paid by the delivery of a
four-year promissory note in the principal amount of $8.0 million bearing interest at the annual
rate of 10%, and the balance of the purchase price was paid in cash at closing. This promissory
note was cancelled and deemed to be satisfied and paid in full in full satisfaction of the final
purchase price adjustment payable by Gaylord to BEI-RZT, as described above.
33
As a result of the transactions described above, the results of operations of our ResortQuest
business, net of taxes, are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See
Non-Operating Results Affecting Net (Loss) Income (Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations, Net
of Taxes below for a discussion of the results of operations of our ResortQuest business.
Key Performance Indicators
The operating results of our Hospitality segment are highly dependent on the volume of customers at
our hotels and the quality of the customer mix at our hotels. These factors impact the price we can
charge for our hotel rooms and other amenities, such as food and beverage and meeting space. Key
performance indicators related to revenue are:
|
|
|
hotel occupancy (volume indicator); |
|
|
|
|
average daily rate (ADR) (price indicator); |
|
|
|
|
Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) (a summary measure of hotel results calculated by
dividing room sales by room nights available to guests for the period); |
|
|
|
|
Total Revenue per Available Room (Total RevPAR) (a summary measure of hotel results
calculated by dividing the sum of room, food and beverage and other ancillary service
revenue by room nights available to guests for the period); and |
|
|
|
|
Net Definite Room Nights Booked (a volume indicator which represents the total number of
definite bookings for future room nights at Gaylord hotels confirmed during the applicable
period, net of cancellations); |
We recognize Hospitality segment revenue from rooms as earned on the close of business each day and
from concessions and food and beverage sales at the time of sale. Almost all of our Hospitality
segment revenues are either cash-based or, for meeting and convention groups meeting our credit
criteria, billed and collected on a short-term receivables basis. Our industry is capital
intensive, and we rely on the ability of our hotels to generate operating cash flow to repay debt
financing, fund maintenance capital expenditures and provide excess cash flow for future
development.
The results of operations of our Hospitality segment are affected by the number and type of group
meetings and conventions scheduled to attend our hotels in a given period. We attempt to offset any
identified shortfalls in occupancy by creating special events at our hotels or offering incentives
to groups in order to attract increased business during this period. A variety of factors can
affect the results of any interim period, including the nature and quality of the group meetings
and conventions attending our hotels during such period, which meetings and conventions have often
been contracted for several years in advance, and the level of transient business at our hotels
during such period.
Overall Outlook
We have invested heavily in our operations in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and in the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, primarily in connection with the continued
construction and improvement of the Gaylord Texan after it opened in 2004, and the construction of
the Gaylord National, described below, beginning in 2005 and continuing in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Our
investments in the balance of 2008 are expected to consist primarily of ongoing capital
improvements for our existing properties (particularly the expansions at Gaylord Opryland and
Gaylord Texan) and the continued construction of the Gaylord National.
34
On February 23, 2005, we acquired approximately 42 acres of land and related land improvements in
Prince Georges County, Maryland (located in the Washington D.C. area) for approximately $29
million, on which land we are developing Gaylord National. The hotel was substantially completed
and opened in April 2008. Approximately $17 million of the cost of the land was paid in the first
quarter of 2005, and an additional $2 million was paid upon substantial completion of Gaylord
National in April 2008. The remaining $10 million of the
cost of the land, which is subject to downward adjustment based on
the completion of certain development milestones, is expected to be paid within the next twelve months. The project was
originally planned to include a 1,500 room hotel; however, we expanded the planned hotel to a total
of 2,000 rooms. In connection with this expansion, we paid an additional $8 million in April 2008
for land improvements related to the expanded facility.
Prince Georges County, Maryland has issued three series of bonds related to the development of our
hotel project. The first bond issuance, in the amount of $65 million, was issued by Prince Georges
County, Maryland in April 2005 to support the cost of infrastructure being constructed by the
project developer, such as roads, water and sewer lines. The second and third bond issues, in the
amount of $95 million and $50 million, respectively, were delivered to us on April 2, 2008. We
will initially hold the $95 million and $50 million bond issuances and receive the debt service
thereon, which is payable from tax increment, hotel tax and special hotel rental taxes generated
from our development. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2008,
we will record the present value of the future debt service payments
as a bond receivable with a like amount as an offset to property and
equipment.
We have entered into commitments for various expenditures in connection with our Gaylord National
development, including for the purchase of land, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and procuring
services in connection with the development. We have entered into several agreements with a
general contractor and other suppliers for the provision of certain construction services at the
site. The agreement with the general contractor (the Perini/Tompkins Joint Venture) is with our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Gaylord National, LLC, and provides for the construction of a portion of
the Gaylord National hotel project in a guaranteed maximum price format. Construction costs to date have exceeded our initial
estimates from 2004. A portion of these increased costs are attributable to: (a) construction
materials price escalation that has occurred over the past four years; (b) increased cost of
construction labor in the Washington, D.C. marketplace due to historically low unemployment and a
high degree of construction activity; (c) our 500-room expansion and related additional meeting
space, and the acceleration of its construction so that the expansion opened concurrently with the
original project; and (d) enhancements to the project design. We have also reserved our rights with
our general contractor and architect for possible claims concerning cost overruns. As of March 31,
2008, we have spent approximately $846.7 million (excluding
$65.9 million of capitalized interest and $45.6 million in pre-opening
costs) on the project and have accrued an additional $113.8 million. We expect to receive additional billings as well as proposed change orders
from the general contractor for additional costs. We intend to vigorously negotiate any such
proposed changes with the general contractor to minimize any cost increases. We intend to use
proceeds of our $1.0 billion credit facility, cash flow from operations, and after completion, the
proceeds of tax increment payments on the $145 million in government bonds described above, to fund
the development and construction.
On July 25, 2006, the Unified Port of San Diego Board of Commissioners and the City of Chula Vista
approved a non-binding letter of intent with us, outlining the general terms of our development of
a 1,500 to 2,000 room convention hotel in Chula Vista, California. The parties extended
the termination date for the non-binding letter of intent to May 31, 2008, and the parties continue
to discuss the terms under which we would develop and operate the convention hotel project. If the
parties can reach a final agreement, such agreement would be subject to a number of closing
conditions and approvals, including but not limited to approval by the California Coastal
Commission. At this time, we are unable to predict whether such approvals would be forthcoming.
35
With respect to our existing properties, we expect to commence expansion projects at both Gaylord
Opryland and Gaylord Texan in late 2008 or early 2009. The city of Nashville has approved an $80
million bond issue in connection with our planned expansion at Gaylord Opryland, which would add
approximately 400 guest rooms, a significant amount of new meeting facilities and additional
parking. The planned expansion at Gaylord Texan would add approximately 500 guest rooms,
approximately 200,000 square feet of additional meeting and prefunction space and additional
leisure amenities, including an outdoor resort pool. Significant components of the proposed Gaylord
Texan expansion are subject to, among other things, approval by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
which has not yet been obtained.
We are also considering other potential hotel sites throughout the country. The timing and extent
of any of these development projects is uncertain, and we have not made any commitments, received
any government approvals or made any financing plans in connection with these development projects.
On February 7, 2008, we announced that our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program
to repurchase up to $80 million of our common stock. This program is intended to be implemented
through purchases made from time to time in the open market in accordance with applicable SEC
requirements. The timing, prices and sizes of purchases will depend upon prevailing stock prices,
general economic and market conditions and other considerations. The repurchase program does not
obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the repurchase program may be
suspended at any time at our discretion. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we
repurchased 656,700 shares of our common stock at a weighted average purchase price of
$30.42 per share.

Total Revenues
Our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in
2007, increased by $12.9 million, primarily due to an $11.5 million increase in our Hospitality
segment revenues, as more fully described below.
Total Operating Expenses
The increase in our total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared
to the same period in 2007, is primarily due to a $12.5 million increase in preopening costs
associated with the Gaylord National and $12.0 million in impairment and other charges related to
the termination of the Purchase Agreement for the La Cantera Resort, each as more fully described
below.
Operating (Loss) Income
Our operating loss of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to our
operating income of $10.6 million for the same period in 2007, was primarily due to the increased
operating expenses described above. As more fully described below, a $7.9 million increase in our
Hospitality segment operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the
same period in 2007, served to reduce the size of our operating loss.
Net (Loss) Income
Our net loss of $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to net income
of $3.5 million for the same period in 2007, is due in part to our operating loss for the period as
described above. However, the following also affected our net loss for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, as compared to our net income for the same period in 2007:
|
|
|
A $15.2 million decrease in interest expense, net of amounts capitalized for the three
months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, due primarily to
increases in capitalized
interest and other factors described more fully below, which served to decrease the size of
our net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in
2007. |
38
|
|
|
The elimination of results from our investment in Viacom stock and CBS stock and related
derivatives during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as a result of the maturation of our
secured forward exchange contract in May 2007. We experienced an unrealized gain on Viacom stock and
CBS stock and derivatives, net, of $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007,
described more fully below. This served to increase the size of our net loss in the three
months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. |
|
|
|
|
Other gains of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to
other gains of $5.9 million in the same period in 2007, due to miscellaneous one-time gains
incurred in 2007 described more fully below, which served to increase the size of our net
loss in the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. |
|
|
|
|
A benefit for income taxes of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as
compared to a provision for income taxes of $2.4 million for the same period in 2007,
described more fully below, which served to decrease the size of our net loss in the three
months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. |
Our net (loss) income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the same
period in 2007, was impacted by the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock
outstanding due to our stock repurchase program described above.
Factors and Trends Contributing to Operating Performance
The most important factors and trends contributing to our operating performance during the periods
described herein have been:
|
|
|
Increased Hospitality segment revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, resulting in
part from a combination of stable system-wide occupancy rates and
increased average daily rate for this period. The increased average
daily rate was primarily a result of higher-paying group business
during the period. |
|
|
|
|
Increased levels of food and beverage, banquet and other ancillary
revenues at our hotels for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as
compared to the same period in 2007, which increased Total RevPAR at
our hotels and supplemented the impact of increased ADR and RevPAR of
the Hospitality segment during this period, as discussed more fully
below. |
|
|
|
|
Increased preopening costs for the three months ended March 31, 2008,
as compared to the same period in 2007, associated with construction
of the Gaylord National, described more fully below, which decreased
our operating income as compared to the same period in 2007. |
|
|
|
|
Impairment charges associated with the termination of the Purchase
Agreement with respect to the La Cantera Resort, described more fully
below, which decreased our operating income for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007. |

comparable to similarly titled measures such as revenues. |
|

|
We calculate Hospitality Total RevPAR by dividing the sum of room
sales, food and beverage, and other ancillary services (which equals
Hospitality segment revenue) by room nights available to guests for
the period. Hospitality Total RevPAR is not comparable to similarly
titled measures such as revenues. |
|
(5) |
|
Net Definite Room Nights Booked included 139,000 and 37,000 room
nights for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, related to Gaylord National, which opened in April 2008. |
|
(6) |
|
Excludes 5,171 and 8,333 room nights that were taken out of service
during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
as a result of a continued multi-year rooms renovation program at
Gaylord Opryland. The rooms renovation program at Gaylord Opryland
was completed in February 2008. |
A combination of stable system-wide occupancy and an increased system-wide ADR in the first three
months of 2008 resulted in increases in total Hospitality segment revenue and RevPAR, as compared
to the same period in 2007. Increased system-wide food and beverage, banquet and ancillary
revenues, led by the performance of
40
Gaylord Opryland and Gaylord Palms, resulted in increases in
Total RevPAR in the 2008 quarter, as compared to 2007. Results of Gaylord Opryland during the
first three months of 2008, described more fully below, were a primary driver of the Hospitality
segments RevPAR and Total RevPAR improvement as compared to the same period in 2007.
Hospitality segment operating expenses consist of direct operating costs, selling, general and
administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense. The increase in Hospitality
segment operating expenses in the first three months of 2008, as compared to the same period in
2007, is due to increased system-wide operating costs and depreciation and amortization expense
partially offset by lower system-wide selling, general and administrative expenses, each as more
fully described below.
Hospitality operating costs, which consist of direct costs associated with the daily operations of
our hotels (primarily room, food and beverage and convention costs), increased in the first three
months of 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to increases at Gaylord
Opryland and Gaylord Palms associated with the increased food and beverage, banquet and ancillary
revenues, described more fully below. The decrease in Hospitality selling, general and
administrative expenses, consisting of administrative and overhead costs, in the first three months
of 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, was primarily due to the $2.9 million lease
termination charge at Gaylord Opryland associated with its food and beverage improvement program
which occurred in 2007, as described more fully below.
Total Hospitality depreciation and amortization expense in the three months ended March 31, 2008,
as compared to the same period in 2007, increased due to additional property and equipment,
including that related to the multi-year rooms renovation program at Gaylord Opryland, being placed
into service.

rooms renovation program at Gaylord Opryland. The rooms renovation program at Gaylord
Opryland was completed in February 2008. |
The increase in Gaylord Opryland revenue for the first three months of 2008, as compared to the
same period in 2007, is due to a combination of increased occupancy and ADR for the period, driven
primarily by an increased amount of group business during the period. Food and beverage and other
ancillary revenue also increased in the first three months of 2008, as compared to the same period
in 2007, due to improvements in catering, banquet and other outside the room spending relating to
the increased levels of group business, which resulted in an increase in Total RevPAR for the
period.
The increase in operating costs at Gaylord Opryland in the first three months of 2008, as compared
to the same period in 2007, was primarily due to the increased cost of goods and services
associated with the increased banquet and outside the room spending described above. The decrease
in selling general and administrative expenses at Gaylord Opryland in the first three months of
2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, was primarily due to the $2.9 charge incurred in the
three months ended March 31, 2007 in connection with the early termination of the lease held by the
third-party operator of the Gaylord Opryland food court, which was renovated and remodeled as part
of Gaylord Oprylands food and beverage outlet improvement
program. This decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses was partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense.

The increase in Gaylord Palms revenue for the first three months of 2008, as compared to the same
period in 2007, is due to increased banquet, outlet, and other outside the room spending by groups.
This increased spending, which resulted in an increase in Total RevPAR in the first three months
of 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, is due primarily to increased group occupancy
during the period as compared to the prior period, as well as to the opening of a new food and
beverage outlet at the property. A combination of slightly increased occupancy and slightly lower
ADR during the period, as compared to the prior period, resulted in a slightly lower RevPAR for the
first three months of 2008. The increase in occupancy was partially due to the impact of the
Easter holiday falling in the first quarter of 2008, which drove increased transient occupancy to
Gaylord Palms.
The increase in operating costs at Gaylord Palms for the first three months of 2008, as compared to
the same period in 2007, was due to costs associated with the increased banquet, outlet, and other
outside the room spending by groups described above. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses at Gaylord Palms in the first three months of 2007, as compared to the same
period in 2007, is primarily due to increased compensation expense.

The slight decrease in Gaylord Texan revenue for the first three months of 2008, as compared to the
same period in 2007, is primarily due to lower banquet and catering revenues during the period,
which was attributable to a decline in the level of group business in the first three months of
2008, as compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease in banquet and catering revenues was
partially offset by increases in room revenue and increased revenue at the hotels Glass Cactus
entertainment complex. The increase in room revenue was due to an increased ADR, partially offset
by lower occupancy during the period. The decrease in occupancy was partially due to the impact of
the Easter holiday falling in the first quarter of 2008, which resulted in less group occupancy at
Gaylord Texan.
The increase in operating costs at Gaylord Texan in the first three months of 2008, as compared to
the same period in 2007, was primarily due to increased operating costs at the Glass Cactus
entertainment complex, as well as increased compensation expense. The decrease in selling, general
and administrative expenses at Gaylord Texan in the first three months of 2008, as compared to the
same period in 2007, was primarily due to a decrease in rental expenses.

The increase in revenues in the Opry and Attractions segment in the first three months of 2008, as
compared to the same period in 2007, is primarily due to an increase in revenues at our Corporate
Magic corporate event planning business.
The increase in Opry and Attractions segment operating costs in the first three months of 2008, as
compared to the same period in 2007, was primarily due to an increase in variable costs associated
with the increased revenues at Corporate Magic. The increase in Opry and Attractions segment
selling, general and administrative expense in the first three months of 2008, as compared to the
same period in 2007, was primarily due to increased sales expense at Wildhorse Saloon, Corporate
Magic, and WSM-AM.

Corporate and Other segment operating loss for the three month ended March 31, 2008 excludes the
effects of an impairment charge of $12.0 million. See the discussion of impairment and other
charges set forth below. |
45
Corporate and Other segment revenue consists of rental income and corporate sponsorships.
Corporate and Other operating expenses consist of operating costs, selling, general and
administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expense. Corporate and Other operating
costs, which consist primarily of costs associated with information technology, decreased in the
first three months of 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, due to a greater share of
expenses being capitalized in connection with software development initiatives. Corporate and Other
selling, general and administrative expenses, which consist of senior management salaries and
benefits, legal, human resources, accounting, pension and other administrative costs, increased in
the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, due to increased
equity-based compensation costs and consulting costs to support our growth initiatives. Corporate
and Other depreciation and amortization expense, which is primarily related to information
technology equipment and capitalized electronic data processing software costs, increased in the
first three months of 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007, due to additional capitalized
software costs placed in service.
Operating Results Preopening costs
In accordance with AICPA SOP 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities, we expense the
costs associated with start-up activities and organization costs as incurred. Preopening costs
increased by $12.6 million to $15.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared
to the same period in 2007. These costs were primarily related to the construction of the Gaylord
National.
Operating Results Impairment and other charges
As further described in Recent Developments, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Sellers,
to acquire the assets related to the La Cantera Resort. The Purchase Agreement also provided for
our purchase of approximately 90 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to the resort property.
On January 21, 2008, we entered into an Amendment with Sellers to the Purchase Agreement. The
Amendment extended the closing date under the Purchase Agreement to April 30, 2008 (prior to the
Amendment, the closing date was scheduled to occur no later than January 31, 2008). The Amendment
also provided that the $10.0 million deposit previously paid by us to an escrow agent under the
Purchase Agreement would be released to Sellers, and that the Deposit would be non-refundable to us
except in connection with the voluntary and intentional default by Sellers in their obligations to
be performed on the closing date.
The Amendment conditioned the closing of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement on us
arranging financing satisfactory to us in our sole discretion in order to fund the transaction. On
April 15, 2008, as permitted by the Amendment, we terminated the Purchase Agreement on the basis
that we did not obtain financing satisfactory to us. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement and the Amendment, we forfeited the $10.0 million deposit previously paid to Sellers. As
a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $12.0 million to write off the deposit, as well as
certain transaction-related expenses that were also capitalized in connection with the potential
acquisition.

Interest Expense, Net of Amounts Capitalized
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, decreased $15.2 million to $3.6 million (net of
capitalized interest of $15.2 million) during the first three months of 2008, as compared to the
same period in 2007, due primarily to a $9.5 million increase in capitalized interest described
below, the maturity of the secured forward exchange contract, which is further described below, and
the writeoff of $1.2 million in deferred financing costs in connection with the refinancing of our
$600.0 million credit facility to increase the total capacity under that credit facility to $1.0
billion during the three months ended March 31, 2007, the effects of which were partially offset by
the impact of higher average debt balances during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Capitalized interest increased to $15.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from
$5.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to the construction of the Gaylord
National.
Our weighted average interest rate on our borrowings, including the interest expense associated
with the secured forward exchange contract related to our Viacom stock and CBS stock investment and
excluding the write-off of deferred financing costs during the period, was 6.8% and 6.6% for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
As further discussed in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 included herewith, the secured forward exchange contract
related to our Viacom stock and CBS stock investment, which was in place until May 2007, resulted
in non-cash interest expense of $0 and $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively.
Interest Income
The decrease in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the
same period in 2007, is due to lower cash balances invested in interest-bearing accounts in 2008
and a decrease in short-term interest rates.
47
Unrealized Gain on Viacom Stock and CBS Stock and Derivatives, Net
In 2000 we entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange contract with an affiliate of Credit
Suisse First Boston with respect to 10,937,900 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B common stock.
Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133, as amended. Components of the
secured forward exchange contract are considered derivatives as defined by SFAS No. 133.
Effective January 3, 2006, Viacom, Inc. completed a transaction to separate Viacom, Inc. into two
publicly traded companies named Viacom, Inc. and CBS Corporation by converting (i) each outstanding
share of Viacom, Inc. Class A common stock into 0.5 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class A common stock and
0.5 shares of CBS Corporation Class A common stock and (ii) each outstanding share of Viacom, Inc.
Class B common stock into 0.5 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B common stock and 0.5 shares of CBS
Corporation Class B common stock. As a result of this transaction, the Company exchanged its
10,937,900 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B common stock for 5,468,950 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B
common stock and 5,468,950 shares of CBS Corporation Class B common stock effective January 3,
2006.
In May 2007, the secured forward exchange contract matured, and we delivered all of the Viacom
Stock and CBS Stock to Credit Suisse First Boston in full satisfaction of the $613.1 million debt
obligation under the SFEC. As a result, the debt obligation, Viacom Stock, CBS Stock, put option,
call option, and deferred financing costs related to the secured forward exchange contract were
removed from the consolidated balance sheet during the second quarter of 2007.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded a net pretax loss of $2.8 million related to
the decrease in fair value of the Viacom and CBS stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2007,
we recorded net pretax gain of $9.6 million related to the increase in fair value of the
derivatives associated with the secured forward exchange contract. This resulted in a net pretax
gain of $6.8 million related to the gain on Viacom and CBS stock and derivatives, net, for the
three months ended March 31, 2007.
Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated Companies
We account for our investments in Bass Pro Group, LLC (prior to the sale of our ownership
interest), RHAC Holdings, LLC (the joint venture entity which owns the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel),
and Waipouli Holdings, LLC (the joint venture entity which owns the ResortQuest Kauai Beach at
Makaiwa Hotel) under the equity method of accounting. Income from unconsolidated companies for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 consisted of equity method income (loss) from these
investments as follows:

Bass Pro. Prior to May 31, 2007, we owned 13.0% of Bass Pro Group, LLC, the owner of the Bass
Pro, Inc., Tracker Marine Boats and Big Cedar Lodge businesses. On May 31, 2007, we completed the
sale of all of our ownership interest in Bass Pro Group, LLC (consisting of 43,333 common units) to
Bass Pro Group, LLC for a purchase price of $222.0 million in cash. We recognized a pre-tax gain of
$140.3 million from the sale of our
48
interest in Bass Pro Group, LLC during the second quarter of 2007. We recorded equity method
income from our investment in Bass Pro prior to the date of sale as shown above. Net proceeds from
the sale of $221.5 million were used to reduce our outstanding indebtedness. Our Chief Executive
Officer formerly served as a member of the board of managers of Bass Pro Group, LLC but resigned
upon consummation of the sale.
RHAC Holdings, LLC (ResortQuest Waikiki Beach Hotel). On May 31, 2005, we, through a
wholly-owned subsidiary, RHAC, LLC, entered into an agreement to purchase the 716-room Aston
Waikiki Beach Hotel and related assets located in Honolulu, Hawaii (the Waikiki Hotel) for an
aggregate purchase price of $107.0 million. Simultaneously with this purchase, G.O. IB-SIV US, a
private real estate fund managed by DB Real Estate Opportunities Group (IB-SIV), acquired an
80.1% ownership interest in the parent company of RHAC, LLC, RHAC Holdings, LLC, in exchange for
its capital contribution of $19.1 million to RHAC Holdings, LLC. As a part of this transaction, we
entered into a joint venture arrangement with IB-SIV and retained a 19.9% ownership interest in
RHAC Holdings, LLC in exchange for our $4.7 million capital contribution to RHAC Holdings, LLC.
RHAC, LLC financed the purchase of the Waikiki Hotel by entering into a series of loan transactions
with Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. consisting of a $70.0 million loan secured by the
Waikiki Hotel and a $16.3 million mezzanine loan secured by the ownership interest of RHAC, LLC.
IB-SIV is the managing member of RHAC Holdings, LLC, but certain actions of RHAC Holdings, LLC
initiated by IB- SIV require our approval as a member. In addition, under the joint venture
arrangement, ResortQuest Hawaii (which we formerly owned) manages the hotel under a 20-year hotel
management agreement from RHAC, LLC and ResortQuest Hawaii is responsible for the day-to-day
operations of the Waikiki Hotel in accordance with RHAC, LLCs business plan. We account for our
investment in RHAC Holdings, LLC under the equity method of accounting.
Subsequent to its purchase by RHAC, LLC, the Waikiki Hotel was renamed the ResortQuest Waikiki
Beach Hotel. During December 2005, RHAC, LLC sold the Mauka Tower, a 72-room hotel adjacent to the
Waikiki Hotel. The Company received a cash distribution of $2.3 million from RHAC Holdings, LLC for
its share of the proceeds from the sale. On September 29, 2006, RHAC, LLC refinanced the Waikiki
Hotel loans with Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., which resulted in the mezzanine loan
increasing from $16.3 million to $34.9 million. RHAC, LLC used the proceeds from this refinancing
primarily to fund a renovation project at the Waikiki Hotel.
Waipouli Holdings, LLC (ResortQuest Kauai Beach at Makaiwa Hotel). On June 20, 2006, we
entered into a joint venture with RREEF Global Opportunities Fund II, LLC, a private real estate
fund managed by DB Real Estate Opportunities Group (RREEF), and acquired a 19.9% ownership
interest in the joint venture, Waipouli Holdings, LLC, in exchange for our capital contribution of
$3.8 million to Waipouli Holdings, LLC. On June 20, 2006, through a wholly-owned subsidiary named
Waipouli Owner, LLC, Waipouli Holdings, LLC acquired the 311-room ResortQuest Kauai Beach at
Makaiwa Hotel and related assets located in Kapaa, Hawaii (the Kauai Hotel) for an aggregate
purchase price of $70.8 million. Waipouli Owner, LLC financed the purchase of the Kauai Hotel by
entering into a series of loan transactions with Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital, Inc. consisting
of a $52.0 senior loan secured by the Kauai Hotel an $8.2 million senior mezzanine loan secured by
the ownership interest of Waipouli Owner, LLC, and an $8.2 million junior mezzanine loan secured by
the ownership interest of Waipouli Owner, LLC. RREEF is the managing member of Waipouli Holdings,
LLC, but certain actions initiated by RREEF require our approval as a member. In addition, under
the joint venture arrangement, ResortQuest Hawaii (which we formerly owned) manages the hotel under
a five-year hotel management agreement from Waipouli Owner, LLC and ResortQuest Hawaii is
responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Kauai Hotel in accordance with Waipouli Owner,
LLCs business plan. We account for our investment in Waipouli Holdings, LLC under the equity
method of accounting.
In October 2006, Waipouli Owner, LLC requested RREEF and us to make an additional capital
contribution of $1.7 million to Waipouli Holdings, LLC to fund the purchase of the land on which
the Kauai Hotel is built. We elected not to make the requested capital contribution, which diluted
our ownership interest in Waipouli Holdings, LLC from 19.9% to 18.1%.

Other Gains and (Losses)
Our other gains and (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily consisted of
miscellaneous income and expense. Our other gains and (losses) for the three months ended March
31, 2007 primarily consisted of the receipt of a $1.2 million dividend distribution related to our
investment in CBS stock, a $4.5 million gain on the sale of the previously utilized corporate
aircraft, and other miscellaneous income and expense.

The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to
our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was due primarily to the tax
effects of intercompany interest charged to ResortQuest International, Inc. during the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and the tax effects of a statutory rate change in the three months ended March
31, 2008. The amount designated as Other for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 in the table above is primarily the result of interest charged to
ResortQuest International, Inc.
(Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes
We reflected the following businesses as discontinued operations in our financial results for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 144. The
results of operations, net of taxes (prior to their disposal where applicable), and the estimated
fair value of the assets and liabilities of these businesses have been reflected in our
consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144 for
all periods presented.
ResortQuest. During the third quarter of 2005, we committed to a plan of disposal of certain
markets of our ResortQuest business that were considered to be inconsistent with our long term
growth strategy. We completed the sale of four of these markets in the fourth quarter of 2005, two
of these markets in the first quarter of 2006, and the remaining two markets in the second quarter
of 2006.
During the second quarter of 2006, we completed the sale of one additional market of our
ResortQuest business that was not included in the plan of disposal described above, but was later
determined to be inconsistent with our long term growth strategy.
During the second quarter of 2007, we committed to a plan of disposal of the remainder of our
ResortQuest business. On May 31, 2007, we completed the sale of our ResortQuest Hawaii operations
through the transfer of all of our equity interests in its ResortQuest Hawaii subsidiaries
(ResortQuest Hawaii) to Vacation Holdings
50
Hawaii, Inc., an affiliated company of Interval
International, for $109.1 million in cash, prior to giving effect to a purchase price adjustment
based on the working capital of ResortQuest Hawaii as of the closing. We retained our 19.9%
ownership interest in RHAC Holdings, LLC and our 18.1% ownership interest in Waipouli Holdings LLC,
which ownership interests were excluded from this transaction. We recognized a pretax gain of
$50.0 million related to the sale of ResortQuest Hawaii during 2007. Net cash proceeds from the
sale of $107.7 million were used to reduce our outstanding indebtedness.
On June 1, 2007, we completed the sale of the remainder of the operations of our ResortQuest
subsidiary through the transfer of all of our capital stock in our ResortQuest Mainland subsidiary
(ResortQuest Mainland) to BEI-RZT Corporation, a subsidiary of Leucadia National Corporation for
$35.0 million, prior to giving effect to certain purchase price adjustments, including a purchase
price adjustment based on the working capital of ResortQuest Mainland as of the closing. The
purchase price was paid by the delivery of a four-year promissory note in the principal amount of
$8.0 million bearing interest at the annual rate of 10%, and the balance of the purchase price was
paid in cash at closing. During the third quarter of 2007, we and BEI RZT Corporation reached an
agreement that we would be required to pay approximately $8.0 million to BEI RZT Corporation
pursuant to the final purchase price adjustment. We and BEI RZT Corporation also agreed that the
four-year $8.0 million promissory note received from BEI RZT Corporation at closing would be
cancelled and deemed to be satisfied and paid in full in full satisfaction of the approximately
$8.0 million final purchase price adjustment described above. As a result of the final purchase
price adjustments and cancellation of the note, we recognized a pretax loss of $59.5 million
related to the sale of ResortQuest Mainland in 2007. In connection with the sale of ResortQuest
Mainland, we recorded pre-tax restructuring charges for employee severance benefits of $0.2 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Net cash proceeds from the sale of $9.3 million were
used to reduce our outstanding indebtedness.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. Cash flow from operating activities is the principal
source of cash used to fund our operating expenses, interest payments on debt, and maintenance
capital expenditures.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our net cash flows used in operating activities
continuing operations were $5.8 million, reflecting primarily our loss from continuing operations
before non-cash depreciation expense, amortization expense, impairment charges, income tax benefit,
interest expense, stock-based compensation expense, excess tax benefits from stock-based
compensation, income from unconsolidated companies, and loss on sales of certain fixed assets of
approximately $25.9 million, offset by unfavorable changes in working capital of approximately
$31.7 million. The unfavorable changes in working capital primarily resulted from an increase in
trade receivables due to a seasonal change in the timing of payments received from corporate group
guests at Gaylord Opryland, Gaylord Palms, and Gaylord Texan, as well as the timing of payment of
accrued property taxes and accrued compensation and an increase in prepaid expenses due to the
timing of payments made to renew our insurance contracts. These unfavorable changes in working
capital were partially offset by the favorable timing of payment of accrued interest, an increase
in deferred revenues due to a seasonal increase in receipts of deposits on advance bookings of
hotel rooms at Gaylord Opryland,
52
Gaylord Palms, and Gaylord Texan, as well as an increase in trade
payables and receipts of deposits on advance bookings of hotel rooms at Gaylord National before the
opening of that hotel.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, our net cash flows provided by operating activities
continuing operations were $3.2 million, reflecting primarily our income from continuing operations
before non-cash depreciation expense, amortization expense, income tax provision, interest expense,
gain on the Viacom stock and CBS stock and related derivatives, stock-based compensation expense,
excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, loss from unconsolidated companies, and gain on
sales of certain fixed assets of approximately $23.7 million, partially offset by unfavorable
changes in working capital of approximately $20.5 million. The unfavorable changes in working
capital primarily resulted from an increase in trade receivables due to a seasonal change in the
timing of payments received from corporate group guests at Gaylord Opryland and Gaylord Texan, as
well as the timing of payment of accrued property taxes and accrued compensation and an increase in
prepaid expenses due to the timing of payments made to renew our insurance contracts. These
unfavorable changes in working capital were partially offset by the favorable timing of payment of
accrued interest, as well as an increase in deferred revenues due to increased receipts of deposits
on advance bookings of hotel rooms (primarily at Gaylord Opryland and Gaylord Palms).
Cash Flows From Investing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our
primary uses of funds and investing activities were purchases of property and equipment, which
totaled $162.4 million. Our capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2008
included construction of $139.6 million at Gaylord National, as well as $11.1 million to refurbish
guestrooms and renovate certain food and beverage outlets at Gaylord Opryland.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, our primary uses of funds and investing activities
were purchases of property and equipment which totaled $134.7 million. Our capital expenditures
during the three months ended March 31, 2007 included construction of $105.7 million at Gaylord
National, as well as $10.5 million to refurbish guest rooms and renovate certain food and beverage
outlets at Gaylord Opryland. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we also received
proceeds of $5.0 million on the sales of certain fixed assets, primarily related to the sale of the
previously utilized corporate aircraft.
We currently project capital expenditures for the twelve months of 2008 to total approximately $401
million, which includes approximately $292 million related to the Gaylord
National, $54 million at Gaylord Opryland primarily to refurbish guest rooms, renovate certain food
and beverage space, and commence the expansion project described above, and $21 million at Gaylord
Texan primarily related to commencing the expansion project described above.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Our cash flows from financing activities reflect
primarily the issuance of debt and the repayment of long-term debt. During the three months ended
March 31, 2008, our net cash flows provided by financing activities continuing operations were
approximately $162.4 million, primarily reflecting $182.0 million in net borrowings under our credit facility, partially offset by the
payment of $20.0 million to repurchase shares of our common stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, our net cash flows provided by financing activities
continuing operations were approximately $119.5 million, primarily reflecting $120.0 million in
borrowings under our credit facility and $3.0 million in proceeds received from the exercise of
stock options, partially offset by the payment of $3.7 million in deferred financing costs to
refinance our $600.0 million credit facility.
Working Capital
As of March 31, 2008, we had total current assets of $123.3 million and total current liabilities
of $261.9 million, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $138.6 million. A significant
portion of our current liabilities consist of deferred revenues, which primarily represent deposits
received on advance bookings of
53
hotel rooms. These deferred revenue liabilities do not require
future cash payments by us. We believe our current assets, cash flows from operating activities
and availability under our $1.0 billion credit facility will be sufficient to repay our current
liabilities as they become due.
Liquidity
As further described above, we plan to invest in our operations during 2008 through the
completion and opening of Gaylord National, the beginning of a planned $400 million expansion of
Gaylord Opryland and a planned $315 million expansion of Gaylord Texan (which expansions are
anticipated to begin in late 2008 or early 2009). In addition, our
Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase up to $60 million
of our common stock. We intend to use proceeds of our $1.0 billion credit facility, cash flow from
operations, and proceeds of tax increment financing to fund these projects. Our $1.0 billion credit
facility matures on March 9, 2010. Prior to this date, we will be required to refinance our credit
facility in order to finance our ongoing capital needs. Our ability to refinance our credit
facility on acceptable terms will be dependent upon a number of factors, including our degree of
leverage, the value of our assets, borrowing restrictions which may be imposed by lenders and
conditions in the credit markets at the time we refinance. There is no assurance that we will be
able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms.
Principal Debt Agreements
$1.0 Billion Credit Facility. On March 23, 2007, we refinanced our credit facility by entering into
an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the
Company party thereto, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The
$1.0 billion amended and restated credit facility (the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility) represented
an increase of our previous $600.0 million credit facility.
The $1.0 Billion Credit Facility consists of the following components: (a) a $300.0 million senior
secured revolving credit facility, which includes a $50.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a
$30.0 million sublimit for swingline loans, and (b) a $700.0 million senior secured delayed draw
term loan facility, which may be drawn on in one or more advances during its term. The $1.0 Billion
Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that will allow the Company to increase the $1.0
Billion Credit Facility by a total of up to $100.0 million, subject to securing additional
commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The revolving loan, letters of
credit and term loan mature on March 9, 2010. At the Companys election, the revolving loans and
the term loans will bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from
1.25% to 1.75% or the lending banks base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to
0.50%, subject to adjustments based on the Companys borrowing
base leverage. We have also entered into interest rate swaps with
respect to $403.0 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings
under the delayed draw term loan facility to convert the variable
rate on those borrowings to a fixed weighted average interest rate of
2.98% plus the applicable margin on these borrowings during the term
of the swap agreements. Interest on the
Companys borrowings is payable quarterly, in arrears, for base rate loans and at the end of each
interest rate period for LIBOR rate-based loans. Principal is payable in full at maturity. The
Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.35% per year of the average
unused portion of the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility.
The purpose of the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility is for working capital and capital expenditures and
the financing of the costs and expenses related to the continued construction of the Gaylord
National hotel. Construction of the Gaylord National hotel is required to be substantially
completed by October 31, 2008 (subject to customary force
majeure provisions). Construction of the Gaylord National hotel was
substantially completed in April 2008.
The $1.0 Billion Credit Facility is (i) secured by a first mortgage and lien on the real property
and related personal and intellectual property of the Companys Gaylord Opryland hotel, Gaylord
Texan hotel, Gaylord Palms hotel and Gaylord National hotel (which was substantially completed in
April 2008) and pledges of equity interests in the entities that own such properties and
(ii) guaranteed by each of the four wholly owned subsidiaries that own the four hotels. Advances
are subject to a 60% borrowing base, based on the appraisal value of the hotel properties (reduced
to 50% in the event a hotel property is sold).
54
In addition, the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility contains certain covenants which, among other things,
limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with
affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other
matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants, ratios or
tests contained in the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility are as follows:
|
|
|
The Company must maintain a consolidated funded indebtedness to total
asset value ratio as of the end of each calendar quarter (i) following
the closing date of the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility through the
calendar quarter ending immediately prior to the first full quarter
during which the Gaylord National hotel is substantially completed, of
not more than 70% and (ii) for all calendar quarters thereafter, of
not more than 65%. |
|
|
|
|
The Company must maintain a consolidated tangible net worth of not
less than the sum of $550.0 million, increased on a cumulative basis
as of the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar
quarter ending March 31, 2005, by an amount equal to (i) 75% of
consolidated net income (to the extent positive) for the calendar
quarter then ended, plus (ii) 75% of the proceeds received by the
Company or any of the Companys subsidiaries in connection with any
equity issuance. |
|
|
|
|
The Company must maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage
ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00 for all calendar quarters during
the term of the credit facility. |
|
|
|
|
The Company must maintain an implied debt service coverage ratio (the
ratio of adjusted net operating income to monthly principal and
interest that would be required if the outstanding balance were
amortized over 25 years at an interest rate equal to the then current
seven year Treasury Note plus 0.25%) of not less than 1.60 to 1.00. |
As of March 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants. As of March 31, 2008, $580.0
million of borrowings were outstanding under our credit facility, and the lending banks had issued
$10.7 million of letters of credit under the facility for us, which left $409.3 million of
availability under our credit facility (subject to the satisfaction of debt incurrence tests under
the indentures governing our senior notes). The credit facility is cross-defaulted to our other
indebtedness.
8% Senior Notes. We have outstanding $350 million in aggregate principal amount of senior
notes bearing an interest rate of 8% (the 8% Senior Notes). We have also entered into interest
rate swaps with respect to $125 million principal amount of the 8% Senior Notes which results in an
effective interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.95% with respect to that portion of the notes. The 8%
Senior Notes, which mature on November 15, 2013, bear interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on
May 15 and November 15 of each year, starting on May 15, 2004. The 8% Senior Notes are redeemable,
in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2008 at a designated redemption amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 8% Senior Notes rank equally in right of
payment with our other unsecured unsubordinated debt, but are effectively subordinated to all of
our secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. The 8% Senior Notes are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by generally all of
our active domestic subsidiaries. In connection with the offering and subsequent registration of
the 8% Senior Notes, we paid approximately $10.1 million in deferred financing costs. In addition,
the 8% Senior Notes indenture contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the
incurrence of additional indebtedness (including additional indebtedness under our senior secured
delayed draw term loan facility), investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset
sales, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters
customarily restricted in such agreements. The 8% Senior Notes are cross-defaulted to our other
indebtedness.
6.75% Senior Notes. We also have outstanding $225 million in aggregate principal amount of
senior notes bearing an interest rate of 6.75% (the 6.75% Senior Notes). The 6.75% Senior Notes,
which mature on
55
November 15, 2014, bear interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 15 and
November 15 of each year, starting on May 15, 2005. The 6.75% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole
or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2009 at a designated redemption amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest. The 6.75% Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with our other
unsecured unsubordinated debt, but are effectively subordinated to all of our secured debt to the
extent of the assets securing such debt. The 6.75% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by generally all of our active
domestic subsidiaries. In connection with the offering of the 6.75% Senior Notes, we paid
approximately $4.2 million in deferred financing costs. In addition, the 6.75% Senior Notes
indenture contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional
indebtedness (including additional indebtedness under our senior secured delayed draw term loan
facility), investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, capital expenditures,
mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such
agreements. The 6.75% Senior Notes are cross-defaulted to our other indebtedness.
Future Developments
As described in Overall Outlook above, we are considering other potential hotel sites throughout
the country, including Chula Vista, California.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As described in Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, we have
investments in two unconsolidated entities, each of which owns a hotel located in Hawaii. Our joint
venture partner in each of these unconsolidated entities has guaranteed certain loans made to
wholly-owned subsidiaries of each of these entities, and we have agreed to contribute to these
joint venture partners our pro rata share of any payments under such guarantees required to be made
by such joint venture partners. In addition, we enter into commitments under letters of credit,
primarily for the purpose of securing our deductible obligations with our workers compensation
insurers, and lending banks under our credit facility had issued $10.7 million of letters of credit
as of March 31, 2008 for us. Except as set forth above, we do not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements.

The total operating lease commitments of $664.8 million above includes the 75-year operating
lease agreement we entered into during 1999 for 65.3 acres of land located in Osceola County,
Florida where Gaylord Palms is located. |

The cash obligations in the table above do not include future cash obligations for interest
associated with our outstanding long-term debt, capital lease obligations and promissory note
payable to the Nashville Predators. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements
included herewith for a discussion of the interest we paid during the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007.
Due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of future cash flows associated with our
unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2008, we cannot make reasonably certain estimates of the
period of cash settlement, if any, with the respective taxing authority. Therefore, $15.1 million
of unrecognized tax benefits have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Certain of our accounting policies, including those
related to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets and
goodwill, stock-based compensation, derivative financial instruments, income taxes, and retirement and postretirement benefits
other than pension plans, require that we apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate
assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an
inherent degree of uncertainty. Our judgments are based on our historical experience, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and
information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. There can be no assurance that
actual results will not differ from our estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting
policies and estimates, please refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. There were no newly identified critical
accounting policies in the first quarter of 2008 nor were there any material changes to the
critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
For a discussion of recently issued accounting standards, see Note 14 to our condensed consolidated
financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 included herewith.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements intended to qualify for
the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or
current facts. These statements contain words such as may, will, project, might, expect,
believe, anticipate, intend, could, would, estimate, continue or pursue, or the
negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. In particular, they include
statements relating to, among other things, future actions, new projects, strategies, future
performance, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and future financial results.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about
future events.
We caution the reader that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that cannot
be predicted or quantified and, consequently, actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to, the following factors, as well as other factors described in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 or described from time to time in our other
reports filed with the SEC:
57
|
|
|
the potential adverse effect of our debt on our cash flow and our ability to
fulfill our obligations under our indebtedness and maintain adequate cash to
finance our business; |
|
|
|
|
the availability of debt and equity financing on terms that are favorable to us; |
|
|
|
|
general economic and market conditions and economic and market conditions related
to the hotel and large group meetings and convention industry; |
|
|
|
|
the timing, budgeting and other factors and risks relating to new hotel
development, including our ability to successfully operate the Gaylord National
and to derive cash flow from its operations; |
|
|
|
|
the geographic concentration of our hotel properties; and |
|
|
|
|
business levels at our hotels, and our ability to successfully operate our hotels. |
Any forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices,
such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposures
to market risk are from changes in interest rates and natural gas prices.
Risk Related to Changes in Interest Rates
Interest rate risk related to our indebtedness. We have exposure to interest rate changes
primarily relating to outstanding indebtedness under our 8% Senior Notes and our $1.0 Billion
Credit Facility.
In conjunction with our offering of the 8% Senior Notes, we entered into a fixed to
variable interest rate swap with respect to $125 million aggregate principal amount of our 8%
Senior Notes. This interest rate swap, which has a term of ten years, effectively adjusts the
interest rate of that portion of the 8% Senior Notes to LIBOR plus 2.95%. The interest rate swap on the 8% Senior Notes is deemed effective and therefore
the hedge has been treated as an effective fair value hedge under SFAS No. 133. If LIBOR were to
increase by 100 basis points, our annual interest cost on the 8% Senior Notes would increase by
approximately $1.3 million.
Borrowings outstanding under our $1.0 Billion Credit Facility bear interest at an annual
rate at our election of either LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% or the
lending banks base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.50%, subject to
adjustments based on the Companys borrowing base leverage. On February 26, 2008, we entered into
a series of forward-starting interest rate swaps to convert the variable rate on $403.0 million
aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the delayed draw term loan portion of our $1.0
Billion Credit Facility to a fixed rate. These interest rate swaps, which expire on various dates
through March 9, 2010, effectively adjust the variable interest rate on those borrowings to a fixed
weighted average interest rate of 2.98% plus the applicable margin on these borrowings during the
term of the swap agreements. These interest rate swaps are deemed effective and therefore the
hedges have been treated as effective cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. If LIBOR were to
increase by 100 basis points, our annual interest cost on the remaining $177.0 in borrowings
outstanding under our $1.0 Billion Credit Facility as of March 31, 2008 would increase by
approximately $1.8 million.
58
Cash Balances. Certain of our outstanding cash balances are occasionally invested
overnight with high credit quality financial institutions. We do not have significant exposure to
changing interest rates on invested cash at March 31, 2008. As a result, the interest rate market
risk implicit in these investments at March 31, 2008, if any, is low.
Risk Related to Changes in Natural Gas Prices
As of March 31, 2008, we held variable to fixed natural gas price swaps with respect to
the purchase of 353,000 dekatherms of natural gas in order to fix the prices at which we purchase
that volume of natural gas for our hotels. These natural gas price swaps, which have remaining
terms of up to three months, effectively adjust the price on that volume of purchases of natural
gas to a weighted average price of $7.39 per dekatherm. These natural gas price swaps are deemed
effective, and, therefore, the hedges have been treated as an effective cash flow hedge under SFAS
No. 133. If the forward price of natural gas futures contracts for delivery at the Henry Hub as of
March 31, 2008 as quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange was to increase or decrease by 10%,
the derivative asset associated with the fair value of our natural gas swaps outstanding as of
March 31, 2008 would have increased or decreased by $0.4 million.
Risks Related to Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Substantially all of our revenues are realized in U.S. dollars and are from customers in
the United States. Therefore, we do not believe we have any significant foreign currency exchange
rate risk. We do not hedge against foreign currency exchange rate changes and do not speculate on
the future direction of foreign currencies.
Summary
Based upon our overall market risk exposures at March 31, 2008, we believe that the
effects of changes in interest rates and natural gas prices could be material to our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, we believe that the effects of
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows would not be material.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules
and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these
disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period
covered by this report. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the period covered by this report that
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
59
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is a party to certain litigation, as described in Note 15 to our condensed consolidated
financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 included herewith and which
is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There have been no material changes to our Risk Factors as previously set forth in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On February 7, 2008, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a stock repurchase
program to repurchase up to $80 million of the Companys common stock. This program is intended to
be implemented through purchases made from time to time in the open market in accordance with
applicable SEC requirements. The timing, prices and sizes of purchases will depend upon prevailing
stock prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations. The repurchase
program does not obligate the Company to acquire
any particular amount of common stock and the repurchase program may be suspended at any time at
the Companys discretion. Purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2008 occurred in
February and March as follows:
