We also offer travel distribution and destination management services through ALG Vacations and a paid membership program through the Unlimited Vacation Club. At March 31, 2023, our hotel portfolio included 596 full service hotels, comprising 186,380 rooms throughout the world; 569 select service hotels, comprising 83,438 rooms, of which 448 hotels are located in the United States; and 114 all-inclusive resorts, comprising 36,676 rooms. At March 31, 2023, our portfolio of properties operated in 75 countries around the world. Additionally, through strategic relationships, we provide certain reservation and/or loyalty program services to hotels that are unaffiliated with our hotel portfolio and operate under other tradenames or marks owned by such hotels or licensed by third parties.

Unless otherwise specified or required by the context, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to "Hyatt," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our" mean Hyatt Hotels Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used in these Notes and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

•"condominium units" refer to whole ownership residential units (condominium and private residences) that we provide services to and, in some cases, manage the rental programs and/or homeowner associations associated with such units;

•"hospitality ventures" refers to entities in which we own less than a 100% equity interest;

•"hotel portfolio" refers to our full service hotels, including our wellness resorts, our select service hotels, and our all-inclusive resorts;

•"properties," "portfolio of properties," or "property portfolio" refer to our hotel portfolio and residential, vacation, and condominium units that we operate, manage, franchise, own, lease, develop, license, or to which we provide services or license our trademarks, including under the Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt, Hyatt Residence Club, Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, Hyatt Studios, UrCove, Miraval, Alila, Andaz, Thompson Hotels, Dream Hotels, Hyatt Centric, Caption by Hyatt, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Destination by Hyatt, JdV by Hyatt, Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts, Secrets Resorts & Spas, Breathless Resorts & Spas, Dreams Resorts & Spas, Hyatt Vivid Hotels & Resorts, Alua Hotels & Resorts, and Sunscape Resorts & Spas brands;

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. As a result, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K").

Table of Contents

We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consolidate entities under our control, including entities where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are all of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Future Adoption of Accounting Standards

Reference Rate Reform—In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04"), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions that we can elect to adopt, subject to meeting certain criteria, regarding contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-06 ("ASU 2022-06"), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. ASU 2022-06 was effective upon issuance and defers the sunset date of Topic 848 by two years, extending the provisions of ASU 2020-04 through December 31, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04.

Contract Balances

Our contract assets, included in receivables, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were $3 million and insignificant at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As our profitability hurdles are generally calculated on a full-year basis, we expect our contract assets to be insignificant at year end.

Contract liabilities were comprised of the following:


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Deferred revenue related to the paid membership program	$	1,071	$	1,013
Deferred revenue related to the loyalty program	1,010		928
Deferred revenue related to travel distribution and destination management services	729		732
Deferred revenue related to insurance programs	59		66
Advanced deposits	54		61
Initial fees received from franchise owners	45		45
Other deferred revenue	99		88
Total contract liabilities	$	3,067	$	2,933

Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each year was $654 million and $501 million, respectively. This revenue primarily relates to travel distribution and destination management services, the loyalty program, and the Unlimited Vacation Club paid membership program.

Table of Contents

Revenue Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Contracted revenue expected to be recognized in future periods was approximately $500 million at March 31, 2023, approximately 20% of which we expect to recognize over the next 12 months, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.

We invest in debt and equity securities that we believe are strategically and operationally important to our business. These investments take the form of (i) equity method investments where we have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity, (ii) marketable securities held to fund operating programs and for investment purposes, and (iii) other types of investments.

Equity Method Investments

Equity method investments were $180 million and $178 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Marketable Securities

We hold marketable securities with readily determinable fair values to fund certain operating programs and for investment purposes. We periodically transfer available cash and cash equivalents to purchase marketable securities for investment purposes.

Marketable Securities Held to Fund Operating Programs—Marketable securities held to fund operating programs, which are recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were as follows:


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022

•$188 million and $174 million, respectively, of available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities with contractual maturity dates ranging from 2023 through 2069. The amortized cost of our AFS debt securities approximates fair value;

•$83 million and $138 million, respectively, of time deposits classified as held-to-maturity ("HTM") debt securities with contractual maturity dates ranging from 2023 through 2026. The amortized cost of our time deposits approximates fair value;

•$63 million and $62 million, respectively, of equity securities with a readily determinable fair value.

(1) Time deposits have contractual maturity dates in 2023. The amortized cost of our time deposits approximates fair value.

We hold common shares in Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. ("Playa N.V."), which are accounted for as an equity security with a readily determinable fair value as we do not have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity. We did not sell any shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or March 31, 2022. Net unrealized gains recognized on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) were as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. We do not have nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Other Investments

HTM Debt Securities—We hold investments in third-party entities associated with certain of our hotels. The investments are redeemable on various dates through 2062 and recorded as HTM debt securities within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets:


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
HTM debt securities	$	98	$	96
Less: allowance for credit losses	(32)		(31)
Total HTM debt securities, net of allowances	$	66	$	65

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the activity in our HTM debt securities allowance for credit losses:


	2023		2022
Allowance at January 1	$	31	$	38
Provisions, net (1)	1		1
Allowance at March 31	$	32	$	39


(1) Provisions for credit losses were partially or fully offset by interest income recognized in the same periods (see Note 18).

We estimated the fair value of these HTM debt securities to be approximately $84 million and $81 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair values of our investments in preferred shares, which are classified as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy, are estimated using internally-developed discounted cash flow models based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. The primary sensitivity in these models is the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in these assumptions could result in different estimates of fair value. The remaining HTM debt securities are classified as Level Two in the fair value hierarchy due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs being considered in the final price of the security.

Convertible Debt Security—During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we invested in a $30 million convertible debt security associated with a franchised property, which is classified as AFS and recorded within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The investment has a contractual maturity date in 2029. At March 31, 2023, the amortized cost of our convertible debt investment approximates fair value. Based on the lack of available market data, we have classified the investment as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no unrealized or realized gains or losses recognized on our investment.

Equity Securities Without a Readily Determinable Fair Value—At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held $12 million of investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, which are recorded within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent investments in entities where we do not have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity.

5. RECEIVABLES

Receivables

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $828 million and $834 million of net receivables, respectively, recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the activity in our receivables allowance for credit losses:

Other financing arrangements	2		(1)		1		1
Total unsecured financing receivables	$	120	$	(44)	$	76	$	23

Fair Value—We estimated the fair value of financing receivables to be approximately $110 million and $117 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair values, which are classified as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy, are estimated using discounted future cash flow models. The principal inputs used are projected future cash flows and the discount rate, which is generally the effective interest rate of the loan.

6. ACQUISITION

Dream Hotel Group—During the three months ended March 31, 2023, a Hyatt affiliate acquired 100% of the limited liability company interests of each of Chatwal Hotels & Resorts, LLC, DHG Manager, LLC, and each of the subsidiaries of DHG Manager, LLC (collectively, "Dream Hotel Group") for $125 million of base consideration, subject to customary adjustments related to working capital and indebtedness, and up to an additional $175 million of contingent consideration through 2028 upon the achievement of certain milestones related to the development of additional hotels and/or potential new hotels previously identified by the sellers (the "Dream Acquisition").

We closed on the transaction on February 2, 2023 and paid $125 million of cash. Upon acquisition, we recorded a $107 million contingent consideration liability at fair value in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet (see Note 10). The fair value was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation to model the likelihood of achieving the agreed-upon milestones based on available information as of the acquisition date. The valuation methodology includes assumptions and judgments regarding the discount rate, estimated probability of achieving the milestones, and expected timing of payments, which are primarily Level Three assumptions. The contingent consideration liability will be remeasured at fair value on a quarterly basis.

Net assets acquired were determined as follows:


Cash paid	$	125
Fair value of contingent consideration	107
Net assets acquired	$	232

Table of Contents

The acquisition includes management and license agreements for both operating and additional hotels that are expected to open in the future, primarily across North America, and the affiliated trade names for three lifestyle hotel brands. Following the acquisition date, the operating results of Dream Hotel Group were recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and were insignificant for the period from the acquisition date through March 31, 2023.

Our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2023 reflects preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on available information as of the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets acquired are estimated using either discounted future cash flow models or the relief from royalty method, both of which include revenue projections based on the expected contract terms and long-term growth rates, which are primarily Level Three assumptions. The remaining assets and liabilities were recorded at their carrying values, which approximate their fair values.

We will continue to evaluate the contracts acquired and the underlying inputs and assumptions used in our valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, these estimates, along with any related tax impacts, are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date:


Receivables	$	1
Goodwill (1)	41
Indefinite-lived intangibles (2)	33
Management agreement intangibles (3)	158
Total assets acquired	$	233

Long-term contract liabilities	$	1
Total liabilities assumed	$	1
Total net assets acquired attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation	$	232

(1) The goodwill, which is tax deductible and recorded on the Americas management and franchising segment, is attributable to the growth opportunities we expect to realize by expanding our lifestyle offerings and providing global travelers with an increased number of elevated hospitality experiences.

(2) Includes intangible assets related to the Dream Hotels, The Chatwal, and Unscripted Hotels brand names.

(3) Amortized over useful lives of approximately 9 to 22 years, with a weighted-average useful life of approximately 17 years.

We recognized $7 million of transaction costs, primarily related to regulatory, financial advisory, and legal fees, in other income (loss), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) during the three months ended March 31, 2023 (see Note 18).

9. DEBT

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $3,102 million and $3,113 million, respectively, of total debt, which included $648 million and $660 million, respectively, recorded in current maturities of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Senior Notes Repurchases—During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased $13 million of our senior notes due 2023 in the open market.

Revolving Credit Facility—During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, we had no borrowings or repayments on our revolving credit facility in effect for each of the respective periods. At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no balance outstanding. At March 31, 2023, we had $1,496 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit outstanding.

Fair Value—We estimated the fair value of debt, excluding finance leases, which consists of the notes below (collectively, the "Senior Notes") and other long-term debt.

•$700 million of 1.300% senior notes due 2023

•$750 million of 1.800% senior notes due 2024

•$450 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2025

•$400 million of 4.850% senior notes due 2026

•$400 million of 4.375% senior notes due 2028

•$450 million of 5.750% senior notes due 2030

Table of Contents

Our Senior Notes are classified as Level Two due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs in the final price of the security. We estimated the fair value of other debt instruments using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. Based on the lack of available market data, we have classified our revolving credit facility, as applicable, and other debt instruments as Level Three. The primary sensitivity in these models is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in our assumptions will result in different estimates of fair value.

	Carrying value		Fair value		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level One)		Significant other observable inputs (Level Two)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level Three)
Debt (1)	$	3,109	$	3,048	$	—	$	3,017	$	31

11. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was $47 million and $2 million, respectively. The increase in our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, was primarily due to an increase in earnings and uncertain tax position activity recognized in 2023 related to foreign tax filing positions.

At each reporting date, management considers all evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its assessment of the future realization of deferred tax assets. At March 31, 2023, we earned out of a three-year cumulative loss position in the U.S. As a result, management determined there is sufficient, objectively verifiable evidence that we will generate sufficient future income in the U.S. to support the realization of our U.S. interest deduction carryforwards, and therefore, we released a significant portion of our valuation allowance and recognized a $9 million benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

We are subject to audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. U.S. tax years 2018 through 2020 are currently under field exam. U.S. tax years 2009 through 2011 are before the U.S. Tax Court concerning the tax treatment of the loyalty program. The U.S. Tax Court trial proceedings occurred during April 2022 and the trial outcome is pending, subject to the U.S. Tax Court Judge's ruling. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment for tax years 2015 through 2017 related to the loyalty program issue. As a result, U.S. tax years 2009 through 2017 are pending the outcome of the issue currently in U.S. Tax Court. If the IRS' position to include loyalty program contributions as taxable income to the Company is upheld, it would result in an income tax payment of $239 million (including $81 million of estimated interest, net of federal tax benefit) for all assessed years. As future tax benefits will be recognized at the reduced U.S. corporate income tax rate, $92 million

Table of Contents

of the tax payment and related interest would have an impact on the effective tax rate, if recognized. We believe we have an adequate uncertain tax liability recorded in connection with this matter.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total unrecognized tax benefits recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets were $278 million and $253 million, respectively, of which $114 million and $102 million, respectively, would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. While it is reasonably possible that the amount of uncertain tax benefits associated with the U.S. treatment of the loyalty program could significantly change within the next 12 months, at this time, we are not able to estimate the range by which the reasonably possible outcomes of the pending litigation could impact our uncertain tax benefits within the next 12 months.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various commitments, guarantees, surety and other bonds, and letter of credit agreements.

Commitments—At March 31, 2023, we are committed, under certain conditions, to lend, provide certain consideration to, or invest in various business ventures up to $386 million, net of any related letters of credit.

Performance Guarantees—Certain of our contractual agreements with third-party hotel owners require us to guarantee payments to the owners if specified levels of operating profit are not achieved by their hotels. Except as described below, at March 31, 2023, our performance guarantees had $119 million of remaining maximum exposure and expire between 2023 and 2042.

Through acquisitions, we acquired certain management agreements with performance guarantees expiring between 2023 and 2045. The performance guarantees are based on annual performance levels. Contract terms within certain management agreements limit our exposure, and therefore, we are unable to reasonably estimate our maximum potential future payments.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $109 million and $108 million, respectively, of total performance guarantee liabilities, which included $94 million and $96 million, respectively, recorded in other long-term liabilities and $15 million and $12 million, respectively, recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Additionally, we enter into certain management contracts where we have the right, but not an obligation, to make payments to certain hotel owners if their hotels do not achieve specified levels of operating profit. If we choose not to fund the shortfall, the hotel owner has the option to terminate the management contract. At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had an insignificant amount recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to these performance cure payments.

Debt Repayment Guarantees—We enter into various debt repayment guarantees in order to assist third-party owners, franchisees, and unconsolidated hospitality ventures in obtaining third-party financing or to obtain more favorable borrowing terms.


Geographical region	Maximum potential future payments (1)		Maximum exposure net of recoverability from third parties (1)		Other long-term liabilities recorded at March 31, 2023		Other long-term liabilities recorded at December 31, 2022		Year of guarantee expiration
United States (2), (3)	$	110	$	39	$	6	$	3	various, through 2027
All foreign (2), (4)	200		180		30		25		various, through 2031
Total	$	310	$	219	$	36	$	28

(1) Our maximum exposure is generally based on a specified percentage of the total principal due upon borrower default.

(2) We have agreements with our unconsolidated hospitality venture partners or the respective third-party owners or franchisees to recover certain amounts funded under the debt repayment guarantee; the recoverability mechanism may be in the form of cash or HTM debt security.

(3) Certain agreements give us the ability to assume control of the property if defined funding thresholds are met or if certain events occur.

(4) Under certain debt repayment guarantees associated with hotel properties in India, we have the contractual right to recover amounts funded from an unconsolidated hospitality venture, which is a related party, and therefore, we expect our maximum exposure for these guarantees to be approximately $84 million, taking into account our partner's 50% ownership interest in the unconsolidated hospitality venture. Under certain events or conditions, we have the right to force the sale of the properties in order to recover amounts funded.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2023, we are not aware, nor have we received any notification, that our unconsolidated hospitality ventures, third-party owners, or franchisees are not current on their debt service obligations where we have provided a debt repayment guarantee.

Guarantee Liabilities Fair Value—We estimated the fair value of our guarantees to be approximately $137 million and $124 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Based on the lack of available market data, we have classified our guarantees as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy.

Insurance—We obtain commercial insurance for potential losses from general liability, property, automobile, workers' compensation, employment practices liability, crime, cyber, and other miscellaneous risks. A portion of the risk is retained through a U.S.-based and licensed captive insurance company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyatt and generally insures our deductibles and retentions. Reserve requirements are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. Reserves for losses in our captive insurance company to be paid within 12 months are $39 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Reserves for losses in our captive insurance company to be paid in future periods are $68 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and are recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 10).

Collective Bargaining Agreements—At March 31, 2023, approximately 21% of our U.S.-based employees were covered by various collective bargaining agreements, generally providing for basic pay rates, working hours, other conditions of employment, and orderly settlement of labor disputes. Certain employees are covered by union-sponsored, multi-employer pension and health plans pursuant to agreements between various unions and us. Generally, labor relations have been maintained in a normal and satisfactory manner, and we believe our employee relations are good.

Surety and Other Bonds—Surety and other bonds issued on our behalf were $47 million at March 31, 2023 and primarily relate to our insurance programs, taxes, licenses, construction liens, and utilities for our lodging operations.

Letters of Credit—Letters of credit outstanding on our behalf at March 31, 2023 were $267 million, which primarily relate to our ongoing operations, collateral for customer deposits associated with ALG Vacations, collateral for estimated insurance claims, and securitization of our performance under certain debt repayment guarantees, which are only called on if the borrower defaults on its obligations or we default on our guarantees. Of the letters of credit outstanding, $4 million reduces the available capacity under our revolving credit facility (see Note 9).

Capital Expenditures—As part of our ongoing business operations, expenditures are required to complete renovation projects that have been approved.

Other—We act as general partner of various partnerships owning hotel properties that are subject to mortgage indebtedness. These mortgage agreements generally limit the lender's recourse to security interests in assets financed and/or other assets of the partnership(s) and/or the general partner(s) thereof.

In conjunction with financing obtained for our unconsolidated hospitality ventures and certain managed or franchised hotels, we may provide standard indemnifications to the lender for loss, liability, or damage occurring as a result of our actions or actions of the other unconsolidated hospitality venture partners or the respective third-party hotel owners or franchisees.

As a result of certain dispositions, we have agreed to provide customary indemnifications to third-party purchasers for certain liabilities incurred prior to sale and for breach of certain representations and warranties made during the sales process, such as representations of valid title, authority, and environmental issues that may not be limited by a contractual monetary amount. These indemnification agreements survive until the applicable statutes of limitation expire or until the agreed upon contract terms expire.

We are subject, from time to time, to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, and environmental matters, as well as commitments under contractual obligations. Many of these claims are covered under our current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined at this point, based on information currently available, we do not expect the ultimate resolution of such claims and litigation to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received a notice from the Indian tax authorities assessing additional service tax on our operations in India. We appealed this decision and do not believe a loss is probable,

and therefore, we have not recorded a liability in connection with this matter. At March 31, 2023, our maximum exposure is not expected to exceed $18 million.

Share Repurchases—During 2019, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $750 million of our common stock. These repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or an accelerated share repurchase transaction, at prices we deem appropriate and subject to market conditions, applicable law, and other factors deemed relevant in our sole discretion. The common stock repurchase program applies to our Class A and Class B common stock. The common stock repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 1,018,931 shares of Class A common stock. The shares of common stock were repurchased at a weighted-average price of $104.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $106 million, excluding insignificant related expenses. The shares repurchased included the repurchase of 106,116 shares for $9 million, which was initiated prior to December 31, 2022 and settled during the three months ended March 31, 2023. At December 31, 2022, the $9 million share repurchase liability was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2023 represented approximately 1% of our total shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2022. The shares of Class A common stock repurchased in the open market were retired and returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares. At March 31, 2023, we had $453 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.

In addition to the aforementioned share repurchases, we initiated the repurchase of 73,368 shares prior to March 31, 2023, but did not settle the repurchases until April 2023. At March 31, 2023, we had a $8 million liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet related to these shares. At April 30, 2023, we had $445 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not repurchase common stock.

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

As part of our Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), we award time-vested stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), time-vested restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance-vested restricted stock units ("PSUs") to certain employees and non-employee directors. In addition, non-employee directors may elect to receive their annual fees and/or annual equity retainers in the form of shares of our Class A common stock. Compensation expense and unearned compensation presented below exclude amounts related to employees of our managed hotels and other employees whose payroll is reimbursed, as these expenses have been, and will continue to be, reimbursed by our third-party hotel owners and are recognized in revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties and costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Stock-based compensation expense recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses and distribution and destination management expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) related to these awards was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022

15. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In addition to those included elsewhere in the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements, related-party transactions entered into by us are summarized as follows:

Legal Services—A partner in a law firm that provided services to us throughout the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 is the brother-in-law of our Executive Chairman. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, we incurred $4 million and $2 million, respectively, of legal fees with this firm. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $2 million and insignificant amounts, respectively, due to the law firm.

Equity Method Investments—We have equity method investments in entities that own, operate, manage, or franchise properties for which we receive management, franchise, or license fees. We recognized $6 million and $4 million of fees during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. In addition, in some cases we provide loans (see Note 5) or guarantees (see Note 12) to these entities. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, we recognized $2 million of income related to these guarantees. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $37 million and $33 million, respectively, of net receivables due from these properties, inclusive of $24 million and $21 million, respectively, classified as financing receivables on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our ownership interest in these unconsolidated hospitality ventures varies from 24% to 50%.

Table of Contents

In addition to the aforementioned fees, we provide system-wide services on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties and administer the loyalty program for the benefit of Hyatt's portfolio of properties. These expenses have been, and will continue to be, reimbursed by our third-party hotel owners and are recognized in revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties and costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

Class B Share Conversion—During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 635,522 shares of Class B common stock were converted on a share-for-share basis into shares of Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share. The shares of Class B common stock that converted into shares of Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were retired subsequent to March 31, 2022, thereby reducing the shares of Class B common stock authorized and outstanding.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our reportable segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Effective January 1, 2023, we changed the strategic and operational oversight for our properties located in the Indian subcontinent. Revenues associated with these properties are now reported in the ASPAC management and franchising segment. The segment changes have been reflected retrospectively for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We define our reportable segments as follows:

•Owned and leased hotels—This segment derives its earnings from owned and leased hotel properties located predominantly in the United States but also in certain international locations, and for purposes of segment Adjusted EBITDA, includes our pro rata share of unconsolidated hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA, based on our ownership percentage of each venture. Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany expenses related to management fees paid to the Company's management and franchising segments, which are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment revenues relate to promotional award redemptions earned by our owned and leased hotels related to our co-branded credit card programs and are eliminated in consolidation.

•Americas management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management services and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America, as well as revenues from residential management operations. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to payroll at managed properties where the Company is the employer, as well as costs associated with sales, reservations, digital and technology, digital media, and marketing services (collectively, "system-wide services") and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation.

•ASPAC management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management services and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in Greater China, East and Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and Oceania. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties.

•EAME management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management services and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

•Apple Leisure Group ("ALG")—This segment derives its earnings from distribution and destination management services offered through ALG Vacations; management and marketing services primarily for all-inclusive ALG resorts located in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Europe; and through a paid membership program offering benefits exclusively at ALG resorts in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate to certain system-wide services provided on behalf of owners of ALG resorts.

Our CODM evaluates performance based on owned and leased hotels revenues; management, franchise, license, and other fees revenues; distribution and destination management revenues; other revenues; and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA based on our ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude interest expense; benefit (provision) for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; amortization of management and franchise agreement assets and performance cure payments, which constitute payments to customers ("Contra revenue"); revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties; costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties that we intend to recover over the long term; equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures; stock-based compensation expense; gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other; asset impairments; and other income (loss), net.

The table below shows summarized consolidated financial information by segment. Included within corporate and other are results related to our co-branded credit card programs and unallocated corporate expenses.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This quarterly report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include statements about the Company's plans, strategies, and financial performance; and prospective or future events. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date

they are made, and we do not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes, which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Executive Overview

Our portfolio of properties consists of full service hotels and resorts, select service hotels, all-inclusive resorts, and other properties, including timeshare, fractional, and other forms of residential, vacation, and condominium units.

At March 31, 2023, our hotel portfolio consisted of 1,279 hotels (306,494 rooms), including:

•482 managed properties (144,254 rooms), all of which we operate under management and hotel services agreements with third-party property owners;

•612 franchised properties (102,722 rooms), all of which are owned by third parties that have franchise agreements with us and are operated by third parties;

•114 all-inclusive resorts (36,676 rooms), including 100 owned by third parties (32,244 rooms) and operated under management or marketing services agreements, 8 owned by a third party in which we hold common shares (3,153 rooms) and are operated under franchise agreements, and 6 operating leased properties (1,279 rooms);

•23 owned properties (10,187 rooms), 1 finance leased property (171 rooms), and 4 operating leased properties (1,697 rooms), all of which we manage;

•19 managed properties and 2 franchised properties owned or leased by unconsolidated hospitality ventures (7,150 rooms); and

•22 franchised properties (3,637 rooms) operated by an unconsolidated hospitality venture in connection with a master license agreement by Hyatt; 6 of these properties (1,254 rooms) are leased by the unconsolidated hospitality venture.

Our property portfolio also included:

•22 vacation units under the Hyatt Residence Club brand and operated by third parties;

•39 residential units, which consist of branded residences and serviced apartments. We manage all of the serviced apartments and those branded residential units that participate in a rental program with an adjacent Hyatt-branded hotel; and

•39 condominium units for which we provide services for the rental programs and/or homeowners associations (including 1 unconsolidated hospitality venture).

Additionally, through strategic relationships, we provide certain reservation and/or loyalty program services to hotels that are unaffiliated with our hotel portfolio and operate under other tradenames or marks owned by such hotels or licensed by third parties. We also offer travel distribution and destination management services through ALG Vacations and a paid membership program through the Unlimited Vacation Club.

We report our consolidated operations in U.S. dollars. Amounts are reported in millions, unless otherwise noted. Percentages may not recompute due to rounding, and percentage changes that are not meaningful are presented as "NM." Constant currency disclosures used throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are non-GAAP measures. See "—Non-GAAP Measures" for further discussion of constant currency disclosures. We manage our business within five reportable segments as described below:

Table of Contents

•Owned and leased hotels consist of our owned and leased full service and select service hotels and, for purposes of segment Adjusted EBITDA, our pro rata share of unconsolidated hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA, based on our ownership percentage of each venture;

•Americas management and franchising ("Americas") consists of our management and franchising of properties, including all-inclusive resorts under the Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara brand names, located in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America, as well as our residential management operations;

•ASPAC management and franchising ("ASPAC") consists of our management and franchising of properties located in Greater China, East and Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and Oceania;

•EAME management and franchising ("EAME") consists of our management and franchising of properties located in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia; and

•Apple Leisure Group consists of distribution and destination management services offered through ALG Vacations; management and marketing of primarily all-inclusive ALG resorts in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Europe; and the Unlimited Vacation Club paid membership program, which offers benefits exclusively at ALG resorts primarily within Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America.

Within corporate and other, we include the results from our co-branded credit card programs and unallocated corporate expenses.

Effective January 1, 2023, our EAME and ASPAC segments have been geographically realigned. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 16 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for further discussion of our segment structure.

Overview of Financial Results

Consolidated revenues increased $401 million, or 31.3%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increases in owned and leased hotels revenues; management, franchise license, and other fees revenues; and revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties of $43 million, $77 million, and $189 million, respectively, were driven by improved operating performance as compared to the prior year, largely driven by increased demand and ADR. Distribution and destination management revenues increased $82 million, compared to 2022, due to higher departure volume and pricing. Additionally, the results for three months ended March 31, 2022 were negatively impacted by travel disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 Omicron variant in the beginning of 2022.

•costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties that we intend to recover over the long term;

•equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures;

•stock-based compensation expense;

•gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other;

•asset impairments; and

•other income (loss), net.

We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by adding the Adjusted EBITDA of each of our reportable segments and eliminations to corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA.

Our board of directors and executive management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as one of the key performance and compensation measures both on a segment and on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operations both on a segment and on a consolidated basis. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our CODM, also evaluates the performance of each of our reportable segments and determines how to allocate resources to those segments, in part, by assessing the Adjusted EBITDA of each segment. In addition, the compensation committee of our board of directors determines the annual variable compensation for certain members of our management based in part on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA, or some combination of both.

Table of Contents

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides investors with the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our operating performance and making compensation decisions and facilitates our comparison of results with results from other companies within our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries and among companies within the same industry, including interest expense and benefit (provision) for income taxes, which are dependent on company specifics, including capital structure, credit ratings, tax policies, and jurisdictions in which they operate; depreciation and amortization, which are dependent on company policies including how the assets are utilized as well as the lives assigned to the assets; Contra revenue, which is dependent on company policies and strategic decisions regarding payments to hotel owners; and stock-based compensation expense, which varies among companies as a result of different compensation plans companies have adopted. We exclude revenues for the reimbursement of costs and costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties which relate to the reimbursement of payroll costs and for system-wide services and programs that we operate for the benefit of our hotel owners as contractually we do not provide services or operate the related programs to generate a profit over the terms of the respective contracts. Over the long term, these programs and services are not designed to impact our economics, either positively or negatively. Therefore, we exclude the net impact when evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA includes costs incurred on behalf of our managed and franchised properties related to system-wide services and programs that we do not intend to recover from hotel owners. Finally, we exclude other items that are not core to our operations, such as asset impairments and unrealized and realized gains and losses on marketable securities.

Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not substitutes for net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation, net income (loss), or any other measure prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes items that do not reflect our core operations, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named non-GAAP measures that other companies may use to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income (loss) generated by our business. Our management compensates for these limitations by referencing our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally. See our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

See below for a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation to EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses exclude the impact of deferred compensation plans funded through rabbi trusts and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses assist us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operations, both on a segment and consolidated basis. See "—Results of Operations" for a reconciliation of selling, general, and administrative expenses to Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Comparable Hotels

"Comparable system-wide hotels" represents all properties we manage or franchise, including owned and leased properties, that are operated for the entirety of the periods being compared and that have not sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large-scale renovations during the periods being compared. Comparable system-wide hotels also exclude properties for which comparable results are not available. We may use variations of comparable system-wide hotels to specifically refer to comparable system-wide Americas hotels, including our wellness resorts, or our all-inclusive resorts, for those properties that we manage or franchise within the Americas management and franchising segment, comparable system-wide ASPAC hotels for those properties we manage or franchise within the ASPAC management and franchising segment, comparable system-wide EAME hotels for those properties that we manage or franchise within the EAME management and franchising segment, or comparable system-wide ALG all-inclusive resorts for those properties that we manage within the Apple Leisure Group segment. "Comparable owned and leased hotels" represents all properties we own or lease that are operated and consolidated for the entirety of the periods being compared and have not sustained substantial

Table of Contents

damage, business interruption, or undergone large-scale renovations during the periods being compared. Comparable owned and leased hotels also excludes properties for which comparable results are not available. Comparable system-wide hotels and comparable owned and leased hotels are commonly used as a basis of measurement in our industry. "Non-comparable system-wide hotels" or "non-comparable owned and leased hotels" represent all hotels that do not meet the respective definition of "comparable" as defined above.

Constant Dollar Currency

We report the results of our operations both on an as-reported basis, as well as on a constant dollar basis. Constant dollar currency, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the effects of movements in foreign currency exchange rates between comparative periods. We believe constant dollar analysis provides valuable information regarding our results as it removes currency fluctuations from our operating results. We calculate constant dollar currency by restating prior-period local currency financial results at the current period's exchange rates. These restated amounts are then compared to our current period reported amounts to provide operationally driven variances in our results.

Net Financed Contracts

Net Financed Contracts represent Unlimited Vacation Club contracts signed during the period for which an initial cash down payment has been received and the remaining balance is contractually due in monthly installments over an average term of less than 4 years. The Net Financed Contract balance is calculated as the unpaid portion of membership contracts reduced by expenses related to fulfilling the membership program contracts and further reduced by an allowance for future estimated uncollectible installments. Net Financed Contract balances are not reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as our right to collect future installments is conditional on our ability to provide continuous access to member benefits at ALG resorts over the contract term, and the associated expenses to fulfill the membership contracts become liabilities of the Company only after the installments are collected. We believe Net Financed Contracts is useful to investors as it represents an estimate of future cash flows due in accordance with contracts signed in the current period. At March 31, 2023, the Net Financed Contract balance not recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $203 million.

Net Deferrals

Net Deferrals represent the change in contract liabilities associated with the Unlimited Vacation Club membership contracts less the change in deferred cost assets associated with the contracts. The contract liabilities and deferred cost assets are recognized as revenue and expense, respectively, on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) over the customer life, which ranges from 3 to 25 years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We finance our business primarily with existing cash, short-term investments, and cash generated from our operations. As part of our long-term business strategy, we use net proceeds from dispositions to pay down debt; support new investment opportunities, including acquisitions; and return capital to our stockholders, when appropriate. If we deem it necessary, we borrow cash under our revolving credit facility or from other third-party sources and raise funds by issuing debt or equity securities. We maintain a cash investment policy that emphasizes the preservation of capital.

In alignment with our long-term business strategy, on February 2, 2023, we completed the Dream Acquisition and paid $125 million using cash on hand. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

We expect to successfully execute our commitment announced in August of 2021 to realize $2.0 billion of proceeds from the disposition of owned assets, net of acquisitions, by the end of 2024. As of May 4, 2023, we have realized $721 million of proceeds from the net disposition of owned assets as part of this commitment.

We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding equity and/or debt securities through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or an accelerated share repurchase transaction. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, restrictions in our existing or future financing arrangements, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we returned $106 million of capital to our stockholders through share repurchases, and during April 2023, we returned an additional $8 million of capital to our stockholders through share repurchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no dividend payments.

We believe that our cash position, short-term investments, cash from operations, borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, and access to the capital markets will be adequate to meet all of our funding requirements and capital deployment objectives in both the short term and long term.

Recent Transactions Affecting our Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, various transactions impacted our liquidity. See "—Sources and Uses of Cash."

Sources and Uses of Cash


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	225	$	180
Investing activities	(149)		(110)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased $45 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to improved performance across the portfolio driven by continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease in cash paid for interest.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2023:

•We acquired Dream Hotel Group for $125 million of cash.

•We invested $30 million in capital expenditures (see "—Capital Expenditures").

•We invested $30 million in an convertible debt security.

•We received $51 million of net proceeds from the sale of marketable securities and short-term investments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022:

•We invested $43 million in capital expenditures (see "—Capital Expenditures").

•We paid $39 million related to the acquisition of ALG for amounts due back to the seller for purchase price adjustments.

•We invested $32 million in net purchases of marketable securities and short-term investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2023:

•We repurchased 1,018,931 shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $106 million, inclusive of the payment of a $9 million liability for the repurchase of 106,116 shares recorded at December 31, 2022.

•We repurchased $13 million of our Senior Notes.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2022:

• We did not have any significant financing activities.

We define net debt as total debt less the total of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. We consider net debt and its components to be an important indicator of liquidity and a guiding measure of capital structure strategy. Net debt is a non-GAAP measure and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table provides a summary of our debt to capital ratios:


	March 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Consolidated debt (1)	$	3,102		$	3,113
Stockholders' equity	3,693			3,699
Total capital	6,795			6,812
Total debt to total capital	45.7		%	45.7		%
Consolidated debt (1)	3,102			3,113
Less: cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments	(1,051)			(1,149)
Net consolidated debt	$	2,051		$	1,964
Net debt to total capital	30.2		%	28.8		%

(1) Excludes approximately $534 million and $538 million of our share of unconsolidated hospitality venture indebtedness at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, substantially all of which is non-recourse to us and a portion of which we guarantee pursuant to separate agreements.

Capital Expenditures

We routinely make capital expenditures to enhance our business. We classify our capital expenditures into maintenance and technology, enhancements to existing properties, and other. We have been, and will continue to be, disciplined with respect to our capital spending, taking into account our cash flow from operations.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Maintenance and technology	$	22	$	19
Enhancements to existing properties	8		21
Other	—		3
Total capital expenditures	$	30	$	43

The decrease in capital expenditures is primarily driven by renovation spend at certain owned hotels in 2022. Total capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 include $6 million and $7 million, respectively, related to ALG. Excluding ALG, our capital expenditures continue to be below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, primarily as a result of our net dispositions of owned assets.

Senior Notes

The table below sets forth the outstanding principal balance of our Senior Notes at March 31, 2023, as described in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements." Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually.


	Outstanding principal amount
$700 million senior unsecured notes maturing in 2023—1.300%	$	643
$750 million senior unsecured notes maturing in 2024—1.800%	746
$450 million senior unsecured notes maturing in 2025—5.375%	450
$400 million senior unsecured notes maturing in 2026—4.850%	400
$400 million senior unsecured notes maturing in 2028—4.375%	399
$450 million senior unsecured notes maturing in 2030—5.750%	440
Total Senior Notes	$	3,078

Table of Contents

We are in compliance with all applicable covenants under the indenture governing our Senior Notes at March 31, 2023.

Revolving Credit Facility

The revolving credit facility is intended to provide financing for working capital and general corporate purposes, including commercial paper backup and permitted investments and acquisitions. At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no balance outstanding. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements."

We are in compliance with all applicable covenants under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2023.

Letters of Credit

We issue letters of credit either under the revolving credit facility or directly with financial institutions. We had $263 million in letters of credit issued directly with financial institutions outstanding at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, these letters of credit, which mature on various dates through 2024, had weighted-average fees of approximately 149 basis points. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements."

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have disclosed those estimates that we believe are critical and require complex judgment in their application in our 2022 Form 10-K, with an additional consideration below.

Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration payable arising from acquisitions is recorded at fair value as a liability on the acquisition date and remeasured at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognized in other income (loss), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). In order to estimate the fair value, we generally utilize a Monte Carlo simulation to model the probability of possible outcomes. Changes to the significant assumptions or factors used to determine fair value, in particular assumptions related to the selection of discount rates, probabilities of achieving the contractual milestones, and timing of payments, could affect the fair value measurement upon acquisition and each reporting period thereafter. See Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements—Note 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements."

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk, primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In certain situations, we seek to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates by entering into financial arrangements to provide a hedge against a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. We continue to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not hedged. We enter into derivative financial arrangements to the extent they meet the objectives described above, and we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. At March 31, 2023, we were a party to hedging transactions, including the use of derivative financial instruments, as discussed below.

Interest Rate Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes due to our borrowing activities. Our objective is to manage the risk of interest rate changes on the results of operations, cash flows, and the market value of our debt by creating an appropriate balance between our fixed and floating-rate debt. We enter into interest rate derivative transactions from time to time, including interest rate swaps and interest rate locks, in order to maintain a level of exposure to interest rate variability that we deem acceptable.

At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we did not hold any interest rate swap or outstanding interest rate lock contracts.

The following table sets forth the contractual maturities and the total fair values at March 31, 2023 for our financial instruments materially affected by interest rate risk:


	Maturities by Period
	2023		2024		2025		2026		2027		Thereafter		Total carrying amount (1)			Total fair value (1)
Fixed-rate debt	$	644	$	746	$	450	$	400	$	—	$	839	$	3,079		$	3,017
Average interest rate (2)													3.58		%
Floating-rate debt	$	3	$	4	$	4	$	4	$	4	$	11	$	30		$	31
Average interest rate (2)													8.02		%

(1) Excludes $6 million of finance lease obligations and $13 million of unamortized discounts and deferred financing fees.

(2) Average interest rate at March 31, 2023.

Foreign Currency Exposures and Exchange Rate Instruments

We transact business in various foreign currencies and utilize foreign currency forward contracts to offset our exposure associated with the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. The U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amount of the outstanding forward contracts, which relate to intercompany transactions, with terms of less than one year, were $155 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

We intend to offset the gains and losses related to our third-party debt and intercompany transactions with gains or losses on our foreign currency forward contracts such that there is a negligible effect on our annual net income (loss). Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what we previously disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the effects of these derivative instruments resulted in $2 million of net losses and $5 million of net gains, respectively, recognized in other income (loss), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). We offset the gains and losses on our foreign currency forward contracts with gains and losses related to our intercompany loans and transactions, such that there is a negligible effect to our net income (loss). At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $3 million and $1 million, respectively, of liabilities recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to derivative instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, workers' compensation and other employee claims, intellectual property claims, and claims related to our management of certain hotel properties. Most occurrences involving liability, claims of negligence, and employees are covered by insurance, in each case, with solvent insurance carriers. We record a liability when we believe the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We currently believe that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

See Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements—Note 11 and Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for more information related to tax and legal contingencies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

At March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in response to Item 1A to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table sets forth information regarding our purchases of shares of Class A common stock on a settlement date basis during the quarter ended March 31, 2023:

Total	1,018,931	$	104.50	1,018,931

(1)On December 18, 2019, we announced the approval of the expansion of our share repurchase program. Under the approval, we are authorized to purchase up to $750 million of Class A and Class B common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or an accelerated share repurchase transaction. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have an expiration date. At March 31, 2023, we had approximately $453 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization. During April 2023, we repurchased 73,368 shares of Class A common stock, which were initiated prior to March 31, 2023, but not settled until April 2023. The shares of common stock were repurchased at a weighted-average price of $109.93 for an aggregate purchase price of $8 million, excluding insignificant related expenses. The shares of Class A common stock repurchased in the open market were retired and returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares. At April 30, 2023, we had $445 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.
