Company and Host LP, earnings per diluted share and FFO per diluted share,

Share and Funds From Operations per Diluted Share" attached to this press

release.

operating profit margins (discussed below) are non-GAAP (generally accepted

accounting principles) financial measures within the meaning of the rules

of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). See the discussion

included in this press release for information regarding these non-GAAP

financial measures.



    Operating Results



    Comparable hotel RevPAR for the second quarter of 2008 increased 1.7%

when compared to the second quarter of 2007. Year-to-date 2008 comparable

hotel RevPAR increased 2.0% when compared to year-to-date 2007. Comparable

hotel adjusted operating profit margins decreased 20 basis points and 30

basis points for the second quarter and year-to-date 2008, respectively.

For further detail, see "Notes to the Financial Information."



    Balance Sheet



    As of June 13, 2008, the Company had approximately $505 million of cash

and cash equivalents and $600 million of available capacity under its

credit facility. Excluding amounts necessary for working capital, the

Company intends to use its available funds for dividend payments, stock

repurchases, investments in its portfolio, to acquire new properties or to

make debt repayments.



    Financing Transactions



    During the second quarter, the Company entered into a $210 million term

loan under its credit facility. The proceeds from the term loan, which is

an expansion of the Company's existing $600 million credit facility, were

used to repay $100 million outstanding under the revolver portion of the

credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The term loan was

completed in two phases, with $165 million closing in April 2008 (as

previously announced) and an additional $45 million, with the same terms,

closing in May 2008. The term loan has a maturity date of September 9, 2011

which the Company can extend for one year, subject to certain conditions.

The term loan is prepayable without penalty after October 2009 and may be

repaid prior to that date for a fee. The term loan bears interest at LIBOR

plus 175 basis points (approximately 4.2% at June 13, 2008).



    During the quarter, the Company also refinanced the $208 million, 7.48%

mortgage on the Orlando World Center Marriott with a non-amortizing $300

million mortgage that bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 350 basis

points (approximately 5.96% at June 13, 2008). The loan has an initial

maturity in 2011, plus two, one-year extensions subject to certain

conditions. The additional loan proceeds will be used for general corporate

purposes.



    Stock Repurchase Program



    Under its previously announced stock repurchase program, the Company

repurchased 2.2 million shares of its common stock valued at approximately

$37 million during the second quarter. Year-to-date, the Company has

repurchased 4.35 million shares valued at approximately $72 million. As of

June 13, 2008, the Company has approximately 518.6 million shares of common

stock outstanding.



    Capital Expenditures



    The Company continued to make significant enhancements to its portfolio

through an extensive capital expenditure program which included

approximately $160 million and $310 million of investments for the second

quarter and year- to-date 2008, respectively. The Company recently

completed the $81 million repositioning project of the Atlanta Marriott

Marquis with the opening of the new 26,000 square foot Atrium Ballroom and

the $4 million construction of an 8,300 square foot meeting space addition

at the San Francisco Marriott.



    Dispositions



    During the second quarter the Company sold the Sheraton Suites Tampa

Airport for approximately $24 million and recorded a gain of approximately

$10 million on the sale.



    European Joint Venture



    In April 2008, the Company's joint venture in Europe, in which the

Company owns a 32.1% interest and serves as the general partner, purchased

the 270- room Crowne Plaza Amsterdam City Centre for approximately 72

million euros.



    Dividend



    As previously announced, the Company expects to declare a fixed $.20

per share common dividend each quarter, as well as a special dividend in

the fourth quarter of each year, the amount of which will be based on the

Company's taxable income. Based on the Company's current guidance for 2008,

the Company expects that the fourth quarter special dividend will be in the

range of $.15 to $.20, which would result in a full year dividend of $.95

to $1.00.



    2008 Outlook



    The Company expects comparable hotel RevPAR to decline approximately 4%

to 2% for the third quarter, and range from a decrease of 1% to an increase

of 1% for the full year. For full year 2008, the Company expects its

operating profit margins under GAAP to decrease approximately 300 basis

points to 230 basis points and its comparable hotel adjusted operating

profit margins to decrease approximately 125 basis points to 75 basis

points. Based upon this guidance, the Company estimates that full year 2008

guidance for Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P.

would be as follows:



    Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.



    -- earnings per diluted share should be approximately $.07 to $.09 for

the third quarter and $.84 to $.94 for the full year;



    -- net income should be approximately $41 million to $51 million for

the third quarter and $455 million to $507 million for the full year; and



    -- FFO per diluted share should be approximately $.27 to $.29 for the

third quarter and $1.75 to $1.85 for the full year.



    Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P.



    -- net income for 2008 should be approximately $477 million to $529

million; and



    -- Adjusted EBITDA for 2008 should be approximately $1,375 million to

$1,425 million.

    *** Tables to Follow ***



    Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., herein referred to as "we" or "Host," is a

self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) that

owns hotel properties. We conduct our operations as an umbrella partnership

REIT through an operating partnership, Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., or Host

LP, of which we are the sole general partner. For each share of our common

stock, Host LP has issued to us one unit of operating partnership interest,

or OP Unit. When distinguishing between Host and Host LP, the primary

difference is approximately 4% of the partnership interests in Host LP held

by outside partners as of July 15, 2008, which is reflected as minority

interest in our consolidated balance sheets and minority interest expense

in our consolidated statements of operations. Readers are encouraged to

find further detail regarding our organizational structure in our annual

report on Form 10-K.



    For information on our reporting periods and non-GAAP financial

measures (including Adjusted EBITDA, FFO per diluted share and comparable

hotel adjusted operating profit margin) which we believe is useful to

The amounts shown in these forecasts are based on these and other assumptions, as well as management's estimate of operations for 2008. These forecasts are forward-looking and are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual transactions, results and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forecasts. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forecasts are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that the results will be materially different. Risks that may affect these assumptions and forecasts include the following: -- the level of RevPAR and margin growth or decline may change significantly; -- the amount and timing of acquisitions and dispositions of hotel properties is an estimate that can substantially affect financial results, including such items as net income, depreciation and gains on dispositions; -- the level of capital expenditures may change significantly, which will directly affect the level of depreciation expense and net income; -- the amount and timing of debt payments may change significantly based on market conditions, which will directly affect the level of interest expense and net income; -- the number of shares of the Company's common stock repurchased may change based on market conditions; and -- other risks and uncertainties associated with our business described herein and in the Company's filings with the SEC.
