1.Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, we, us or the Company).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

However, you should read the condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2001.January 3, 2003. Certain terms not otherwise defined in this quarterly report have the meanings specified in our Annual Report.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period and the possible outcomesdisclosures of contingenciescontingent liabilities. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.

Other Revenues from Managed and Franchised Properties:Cost Reimbursements:    We recognize other revenuescost reimbursements, in accordance with operating agreements, from managed and franchised properties when we incur the related reimbursable costs.

Synthetic Fuel:We recognize revenue from ourthe Synthetic Fuel business when the synthetic fuel is produced and sold.

2.New Accounting Standards

We adopted the disclosure provision FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Direct Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” in the fourth quarter of 2002. We applied the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions for guarantees issued in the first quarter of 2003 and there was no material impact on our financial statements.

FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” is effective immediately for all enterprises with variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 provisions must be applied to variable interests in variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003 from the beginning of the third quarter of 2003. If an entity is determined to be a variable interest entity, it must be consolidated by the enterprise that absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses if they occur, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both. Where it is reasonably possible that the company will consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity, the company must disclose the nature, purpose, size and activity of the variable interest entity and the company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the variable interest entity in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003.

MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)

We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that the adoption of FIN 46 will result in our consolidation of any previously unconsolidated entities. The following tables showadoption of FIN 46 may result in additional disclosure about a limited number of investments in variable interest entities. We do not expect such disclosure to be material.

FIN 46 does not apply to qualifying special purpose entities, such as those used by us to sell notes receivable originated by our timeshare business in connection with the sales, operating costssale of timeshare intervals. These qualifying special purpose entities will continue to be accounted for in accordance with FAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and expenses we recognized during the twelveServicing of Financial Assets and thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2002 and September 7, 2001. Lodging includes our Full-Service, Select-Service, Extended-Stay, and Timeshare business segments.

The calculationscalculation of diluted earnings per share excludedoes not include the following options because the inclusion would have an antidilutive impact for the applicable period: (a) for the twelve weekweeks ended March 28, 2003, 20.3 million options and thirty-six week periods(b) for the twelve weeks ended September 6,March 22, 2002, 7.45.9 million options, $2 million of after-tax interest expense on convertible debt and 6.4 million shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt.

4.Stock-Based Compensation

We have several stock-based employee compensation plans that we account for using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, we do not reflect stock-based employee compensation cost in net income for our Stock Option Program, the Supplemental Executive Stock Option awards or the Stock Purchase Plan. We recognized stock-based employee compensation cost of $4 million and 6.0$2 million, options, respectively,net of tax, for deferred share grants, restricted share grants and (b) 4.9 million optionsrestricted stock units for the thirty-six week periodtwelve weeks ended September 7, 2001.

3.    Marriott Rewards
March 28, 2003 and March 22, 2002. Included in 2003 compensation is $1 million net of tax related to the grant of approximately 1.9 million units under the employee restricted stock unit program which was started in the first quarter of 2003. At March 28, 2003 there is approximately $56 million in deferred compensation related to unit grants. Under the unit plan, fixed grants will be awarded annually to certain employees.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation. The impact of measured but unrecognized compensation cost and excess tax benefits credited to additional paid-in capital is included in the denominator of the diluted pro forma shares for both periods presented.

over the expected life of the points awarded. Upon the redemption of points, we recognize as revenue the amounts previously deferred, and recognize the corresponding expense relating to the cost of the awards redeemed. The liability for the Marriott Rewards program was $688$705 million at September 6, 2002March 28, 2003 and $631$683 million at December 28, 2001,January 3, 2003 of which $437$430 million and $380$418 million, respectively, are included in other long-term liabilities and deferred income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
4.    Dispositions
In the third quarter of 2002, we sold our interest in a hotel and residential project under development for a total of approximately $190 million. The hotel was sold without continuing operating or branding agreements with Marriott. We recognized approximately $5 million of the pretax gain in the third quarter of 2002 and will recognize the remaining balance of approximately $50 million in future years provided certain contingencies in the sales contract expire.
In the third quarter of 2002, we also sold one property to a third party for $37 million and three parcels of land to other third parties for $6 million, which generated a pretax gain of approximately $1 million. The sale of the property was subject to an operating lease with an entity in which we have a non-controlling equity interest. The sales were accounted for under the full accrual method in accordance with FAS No. 66. The gain related to the property will be recognized in future years, provided certain contingencies in the sales contract expire.
In the second quarter of 2002, we sold two lodging properties and one piece of undeveloped land for $148 million. We will continue to operate the two hotels under long-term management agreements. We accounted for one of these sales under the full accrual method in accordance with FAS No. 66 and for the other under the cost recovery method because the buyer did not make an adequate minimum initial investment. The sale of the property accounted for under the cost recovery method was to a joint venture in which we have a non-controlling equity interest.
In the second quarter of 2002, we sold five senior living communities for $59 million. We continue to operate the communities under long-term management agreements. We account for these sales under the full accrual method in accordance with FAS No. 66. We will recognize pretax gains of approximately $6 million provided certain contingencies in the sales contract expire.
In the first quarter of 2002, we closed on sales of four hotels for cash proceeds of $97 million, resulting in gains of $13 million. We have deferred gains which will be recognized if and when certain contingencies in the sales contracts expire. We continue to operate the hotels under long-term management agreements.

The principal difference between net income and total comprehensive income for the applicable 20022003 and 20012002 periods relates to foreign currency translation adjustments.

6.    New Accounting Standards
In the first quarter of 2002, we adopted FAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This adoption of FAS No. 144 had no impact on the Company.
We adopted FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in the first quarter of 2002. The new rules require that goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed annually for impairment. This adoption resulted in an increase in net income of approximately $7 million for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 2002 and $22 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2002. We completed our testing of goodwill for impairment and have determined that no impairment exists upon initial adoption of FAS No. 142.
The following table presents the impact of the adoption of FAS No. 142 on our net income, basic earnings per share, and diluted earnings per share for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2002 and September 7, 2001, as if the adoption had taken place in the first quarter of 2001 (in millions, except per share amounts):

Senior Housing and Five Star litigation.    We and Marriott Senior Living Services, Inc. (SLS) (which on March 28, 2003, became a subsidiary of Sunrise) are party to actions in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland and the Superior Court for Middlesex County, Massachusetts both initiated on November 27, 2002. These actions relate to 31 senior living communities that SLS operates for Senior Housing Properties Trust (SNH) and Five Star Quality Care, Inc. (FVE), and SNH/FVE’s attempt to terminate the operating agreements for these communities. In the Massachusetts action, SNH/FVE sought a declaration that the operating agreements between FVE and SLS created a principal-agent relationship, and that SNH/FVE could therefore terminate the agreements at will. The Massachusetts court dismissed that action on March 4, 2003 and entered judgement declaring that (i) the Company could sell the stock of SLS to Sunrise without obtaining SNH/FVE’s consent, (ii) the Company could remove Marriott proprietary marks from the communities and (iii) that the relationship in the operating agreements was not an agency relationship and not terminable other than as set forth in the agreements. SNH/FVE may still appeal this dismissal and declaration.

In the Maryland action, we and SLS are seeking, among other relief, a declaration that SLS is not in default or material breach of the operating agreements and a declaration that SNH/FVE had anticipatorily breached those agreements by violating their termination provisions. Trial in the Maryland action is scheduled to begin in April 2004.

Senior Care Associates litigation.    Senior Care Associates LLC (SCA) is the tenant of fourteen Brighton Gardens properties located in a total of ten states. The beneficial owner of the portfolio is one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries which leases the properties to SCA, who in turn has engaged SLS as manager. On March 24, 2003, SCA filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against us and SLS seeking a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. In the lawsuit SCA states that it presumed that SLS would remove the Marriott trademarks following SLS’s purchase by Sunrise and that SLS would otherwise violate the applicable operating agreements, despite several letters sent from the Company and SLS

assuring SCA that SLS would continue to honor all the terms and conditions of the operating agreements following the sale. SCA seeks a declaration that the sale of SLS to Sunrise breached the operating agreements unless the facilities will continue to operate under the Marriott name and the Marriott standards. On March 24, 2003, the court refused to grant SCA a temporary restraining order against SLS and the Company. We and SLS moved to dismiss this litigation on April 14, 2003.

Whitehouse Hotel litigation. On April 7, 2003, Whitehouse Hotel Limited Partnership and WH Holdings, L.L.C., the owner of the New Orleans Ritz-Carlton Hotel, filed suit against us and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. (“Ritz-Carlton”) in the Civil District Court for the Parish of New Orleans, Louisiana. Ritz-Carlton manages the hotel under contracts that identify it as an independent contractor, and that contain no territorial restrictions either on other Ritz-Carlton hotels or on Marriott hotels. Whitehouse sought a temporary restraining order and injunction to prevent us from managing, under the JW Marriott flag, the former LeMeridien hotel in New Orleans, claiming that the conversion to a JW Marriott would irreparably injure and damage the Ritz-Carlton hotel. The complaint against us and Ritz-Carlton alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary and other duties, violation of the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act, breach of implied duty of good faith, civil conspiracy, and detrimental reliance. In addition to unspecified compensatory damages, Whitehouse seeks to enjoin the Company and Ritz-Carlton from both entering into any agreement to operate the former LeMeridien hotel and using or disclosing any confidential information of the New Orleans Ritz-Carlton, Iberville Suites and Maison Orleans hotels. Whitehouse also seeks a declaration of its right to terminate the operating agreements for cause. The court denied both Whitehouse’s motion for a temporary restraining order on April 11, 2003 and its request for expedited discovery on April 15, 2003.

We believe that each of the foregoing lawsuitsclaims against us isand against SLS are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against the claims being made against us.them. However, we cannot assure you as to the outcome of any of these lawsuits nor can we currently estimate the range of potential losses to the Company.

Shareholders’ derivative action against our directors.

On January 16, 2003, Daniel and Raizel Taubenfeld filed a shareholder’s derivative action in Delaware state court against each member of our Board of Directors and against Avendra LLC. The company is named as a nominal defendant. The individual defendants are accused of exposing the company to accusations and lawsuits which allege wrongdoing on the part of the company. The complaint alleges that, as a result, the company’s reputation has been damaged leading to business losses and the compelled renegotiation of some management contracts. The substantive allegations of the complaint are derived exclusively from prior press reports. No damage claim is made against us and no specific damage number is asserted as to the lawsuits referenced above, inindividual defendants.

On May 8, 2001, we received gross proceeds of $405 million from the sale ofour zero-coupon convertible senior notes due 2021, known as LYONs. OnLYONS are presently outstanding.

These LYONs which were issued on May 9, 2002, we redeemed for cash the approximately 85 percent of the LYONs that were tendered for mandatory repurchase by the holders.

The remaining LYONs8, 2001, are convertible into approximately 0.9 million shares of our Class A Common Stock, have a face value of $70 million and carry a yield to maturity of 0.75 percent. We may not redeem the LYONs prior to May 8, 2004. We may at the option of the holders be required to purchase the LYONs at their accreted value on May 8 of each of 2004, 2011 and 2016. We may choose to pay the purchase price for redemptions or repurchases in cash and/or shares of our Class A Common Stock.
We amortized the issuance costs of the LYONs into interest expense over the one-year period ended May 8, 2002.

We classify LYONs as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the obligation with long-term debt if we are required to repurchase the LYONs.

We accounted for the sale under the full accrual method in accordance with FAS No. 66, and we recorded an after-tax loss of approximately $13 million. On December 30, 2002, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our senior living management business to Sunrise and to sell nine senior living communities to CNL. We completed these sales to Sunrise and CNL in addition to the related sale of a parcel of land to Sunrise on March 28, 2003, for $266 million and recognized a gain, net of taxes, of $23 million.

Also, on December 30, 2002, we purchased 14 senior living communities for approximately $15 million in cash, plus the assumption of $227 million in debt, from an unrelated owner. We had previously agreed to provide a form of credit enhancement on the outstanding debt related to these communities. Management has approved and committed to a plan to sell these communities within 12 months. As part of that plan, subsequent to quarter end, on March 31, 2003, we acquired all of the subordinated credit-enhanced mortgage securities relating to the 14 communities in a transaction in which we issued $46 million of unsecured Marriott International, Inc. notes, due April 2004.

In the first quarter of 2003, we recognized a chargeincurred exit costs of approximately $30$1 million, in connectionprimarily related to ongoing compensation costs associated with the decision to exitwind down.

Additional information regarding the distribution services business and sale of certain assets. The charge includes: (1) $25 million related to equipment and facilities leases; (2) $3 million related to the adjustment of the depreciable lives of fixed assets to net realizable values over expected useful lives; and (3) $2 million of other associated charges. We expect to incur other material chargesDistribution Services disposal group is as follows ($ in connection with exiting the business, but we currently are unable to estimate their magnitude.

14.    Subsequent Events
Interval International.    Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we sold our 11 percent investment in Interval International, a timeshare exchange company, for approximately $63 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $44 million, which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2002.
Village Oaks.    On October 1, 2002, we completed the sale of 24 Village Oaks senior living communities, which we wrote down to their estimated fair value in the fourth quarter of 2001. We adjusted the carrying amount of the assets at September 6, 2002 to reflect the sales price of $62 million. The adjustment increased the prior carrying amount by $11 million, which was reflected in the income statement for the quarter ended September 6, 2002.

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

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Continuing Operations

The following discussion presents an analysis of results of our operations for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended March 28, 2003 and March 22, 2002.

Twelve Weeks Ended March 28, 2003 Compared to Twelve Weeks Ended March 22, 2002

Income from continuing operations, net of taxes increased 6 percent to $87 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations advanced 13 percent to $0.36. Sales increased 11 percent to $2 billion. Income from continuing operations reflected $78 million of tax benefits, offset by $59 million of operating losses, associated with our Synthetic Fuel business, and reflecting a 4 percent decline in our lodging business results.

Marriott Lodging, which includes our Full-Service, Select-Service, Extended-Stay, and Timeshare segments, reported a 4 percent decrease in financial results on 8 percent higher sales. The results reflect lower U.S. demand, offset by new unit additions. In addition, there were no timeshare note sale gains in the first quarter of 2003, compared to $14 million in the 2002 first quarter. Lodging sales increased to $1.9 billion and systemwide lodging sales increased to $4.2 billion. The reconciliation of sales to systemwide sales for the first quarter is as follows ($ in millions):

We consider Lodging systemwide sales to be a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the growth in revenues of all of the properties that carry one of the Marriott brand names. Our growth in profitability is in large part driven by such overall revenue growth.

We have presented a claim with an insurance company for lost management fees from the September 6,11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we recognized $1 million in income from insurance proceeds; we have not recognized any income in the first quarter of 2003. Although we expect to realize further proceeds, we cannot currently estimate the amounts that may be paid to us.

We added a total of 35 lodging properties (8,028 rooms) during the first quarter of 2003, and September 7, 2001.deflagged one hotel (104 rooms) and two timeshare resorts (78 rooms), increasing our total properties to 2,589 (471,275 rooms).

We consider Revenue per available roomAvailable Room (REVPAR) is calculated by dividing room sales for comparable properties by room nights available to guests for the period. We consider REVPAR to be a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period over period change in room revenues for comparable properties. We calculate REVPAR by dividing room sales for comparable properties by room nights available to guests for the period. REVPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures such as revenues. Comparable REVPAR, room rate and occupancyWe have not presented statistics used throughout this report are based upon U.S. properties operated by us, except that data for Fairfield Inn TownePlace Suites and SpringHill Suites also include comparable franchised units. The inclusion of data for comparable franchised units for these three brands provides more meaningful information ascompany-operated North American properties—since these brands are predominantly franchised.

Twelve Weeks Ended September 6, 2002 Compared to Twelve Weeks Ended September 7, 2001
We reported net income of $103 million foronly have a few properties that we operate, the 2002 third quarter on sales of $2,454 million. This represents a $2 million increase in net income compared to the 2001 third quarter and a 3 percent increase in sales compared to the third quarter of 2001. Diluted earnings per share of $.41 for the quarter increased 5 percent compared to the 2001 amount. Overall, results reflected weaker hotel demand; stronger senior living results, primarily related to $11 million of pretax income associated with the sale of the Village Oaks senior living communities; and losses in our distribution services business associated with management’s decision to exit the distribution services business; largely offset by the lower tax rate associated with our Synthetic Fuel business. Systemwide sales increased to $4.8 billion.
Marriott Lodging, which includes our Full-Service, Select-Service, Extended-Stay, and Timeshare segments, reported an 8 percent decrease in financial results on nearly 3 percent higher sales. Systemwide lodging sales were unchanged at $4.2 billion.

We added a total of 46 lodging properties (7,072 units) during the third quarter of 2002, and deflagged 4 properties (489 units), increasing our total properties to 2,505 (454,587 units). Properties by brandinformation would not be meaningful (identified as of September 6, 2002 (excluding 5,200 rental units relating to Marriott ExecuStay) are as indicated“nm” in the tables below). Systemwide statistics include data from our franchised properties, in addition to our owned, leased and managed properties.

occupancy, average daily rate and REVPAR statistics used throughout this report for the twelve weeks ended March 28, 2003, include the period from January 4, 2003 through March 28, 2003, while the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2002 statistics include the period from December 29, 2001 through March 22, 2002. The 2003 statistics exclude the impact of the New Year’s holiday, which historically is a slow week.

Across Marriott’s domestic full-service lodgingour Lodging brands, REVPAR for comparable company-operated U.S.North American properties declined 7.2by an average of 1.5 percent in the first quarter of 2003. Average room rates for these hotels declined 1.5 percent and occupancy remained unchanged from the prior year.

Across Marriott’s North American Full-Service lodging brands (Marriott Hotels and Resorts; RenaissanceHotels andResorts;and The Ritz-Carlton Hotels), REVPAR for comparable company-operated North American properties declined 1.7 percent. Average room rates for these hotels declined 4.61.4 percent and occupancy decreased 1.90.2 percentage points to 69.667.5 percent.

Our domestic select-serviceNorth American Select-Service and extended-stayExtended-Stay brands (Fairfield Inn; Courtyard; Residence Inn; SpringHill Suites;and TownePlace Suites) had, for comparable company-operated North American properties, average REVPAR declines of 5.01.0 percent reflecting occupancy declines of 0.3 percentage points and average room rate declines of 4.6 percent.

Results for international1.3 percent, while occupancy increased 0.2 percentage points.

International lodging reported an increase in the results of operations, declinedreflecting the impact of stronger demand in the Caribbean, Asia, and the Middle East, partially offset by a decline in travel to Europe.

For our Timeshare brands (Marriott Vacation Club International; The Ritz-Carlton Club; Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club International; and Marriott Grand Residence Club) financial results decreased 42 percent, to $18 million. The decline is primarily dueattributable to the decreasefact that there were no timeshare notes sold in international travel. While demand remains soft in Europe, demand strengthened in Japan, Korea and Russia.

Timeshare. Ourthe first quarter of 2003, while our timeshare business reported a 5 percent increase in results, reflecting a 4 percent increase in sales andgenerated note sale gains of approximately $18$14 million in 2002the first quarter of 2002. First quarter 2003 results, compared to $13 million in 2001. Thefirst quarter 2002 results, also reflect higher marketing and selling costs due to reduced closing efficiencies. At September 6, 2002, 32 resorts were in active sales and 21 resorts were sold out.
Senior Living Services (SLS) posted an 8 percent increase in sales and a $14 million increase in operating profit. The favorable results reflect an $11 million adjustment to the fair market value of the assets held for sale associated with the Village Oaks communities. In the fourth quarter of 2001, as a result of management’s plan to exit the companion living business, we reclassified the assets associated with the Village Oaks communities as assets held for sale and recorded an impairment charge of $60 million. On October 1, 2002, we sold these Village Oaks communities for $62 million. Occupancy for comparable communities was 84 percent in the quarter, stable with a year ago. As of September 6, 2002, we operated 153 facilities (26,257) units. In July 2002, we commenced a strategic review of SLS, which includes an evaluation of all alternatives, including the sale of the business or spin-off to shareholders.
Distribution Services (MDS) posted a 9 percent decline incontract sales in the third quarterexcess of 2002, reflecting lower volume, partially offset by the commencement of new contracts since the third quarter of 2001, which include the distribution of higher priced, but lower margin items. The volume decline is largely attributable to the loss of one significant customer. The $34 million operating loss included a $30 million charge recorded in connection with the decision to exit the distribution services business15 percent and an overall decline in the number of cases shipped. The charge includes: (1) $25 million related to equipment and facilities leases; (2) $3 million related to the adjustment of the depreciable lives of fixed assets to net realizable values over expected useful lives; and (3) $2 million of other associated charges.favorable development margins.
In the 2002 third quarter, we completed a previously announced strategic review of the distribution services business. We have decided to exit the distribution services business, with an anticipated completion around the end of 2002. We expect the exit will take place through a combination of sale or transfer of some facilities, abandonment of other facilities and other suitable arrangements. In addition to the $30 million charge recognized in the third quarter we expect to incur other material costs in connection with exiting the business, but we currently are unable to estimate their magnitude.

Corporate Expenses, Interest and TaxesTaxes.    .    Interest expense decreasedincreased $7 million, reflecting lower average outstandingthe impact of the mortgage debt balancesassumed in the fourth quarter of 2002 associated with the acquisition of 14 senior living communities, as well as additional share repurchases and lower capitalized interest rates.resulting from fewer projects under construction, primarily related to our timeshare business. Interest income increased slightly to $20 million, before reflecting reserves of $5 million for loans deemed uncollectible at two hotels. Corporate expenses increased $12 million primarily due to the $4 million gain recorded in 2001 on the sale of tax investments, and foreign exchange losses incurred in 2002. Our effective income tax rate decreased from 37.53 percent to $30 million reflecting higher litigation expenses.

The income from continuing operations generated a positivetax benefit of 8.4 percent due$40 million in the first quarter of 2003 compared to a tax provision of $36 million in the impactfirst quarter of the2002. The difference was primarily attributable to our Synthetic Fuel business which generated a tax benefit and tax credits arising from our Synthetic Fuel business andtotaling $78 million in the eliminationfirst quarter of nondeductible goodwill amortization, partially offset by2003 compared to $7 million in the 2001 sale of the affordable housing investments.

year ago quarter.

Synthetic Fuel.In October 2001, we acquired four coal-based synthetic fuel production facilities (the Facilities) for $46 million in cash. The Synthetic Fuelsynthetic fuel produced at the Facilities qualifies for tax credits based on Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under Section 29, tax credits are not available for Synthetic Fuelsynthetic fuel produced after 2007. We began operating these Facilities in the first quarter of 2002. We anticipate that theThe operation of the Facilities, together with the benefit arising from the tax credits, has been, and we expect will continue to be significantly accretive to our net income. Although we expect that the Facilities will produce significant operating losses, we anticipate that these will beare more than offset by the tax credits generated under Section 29, which we expect to reduce our income tax expense. In the thirdfirst quarter of 2002,2003, our Synthetic Fuel business reflected sales of $55$68 million and an operatinga loss of $32$59 million, resulting in a tax benefit of $11$21 million and tax credits of $43$57 million.

Thirty-Six Weeks Ended September 6, 2002 Compared

In January 2003, we entered into a contract with an unrelated third party to Thirty-Six Weeks Ended September 7, 2001

We reported net incomesell approximately a 50 percent interest in the Synthetic Fuel business. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of $314a satisfactory private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the new ownership structure. Contracts related to the potential sale are being held in escrow until closing

conditions are met. If the conditions are not met by August 31, 2003, neither party will have an obligation to perform under the agreements. If the transaction is consummated, we expect to receive $25 million in promissory notes and cash as well as an earnout based on the amount of synthetic fuel produced. If the transaction is consummated, we expect to account for the first three quarters of 2002 on sales of $7,404 million. This represents an 11 percent decreaseremaining interest in net income and a 2 percent increase in sales over the same period in 2001. Diluted earnings per share of $1.23 for the first three quarters of the year decreased 10 percent compared to 2001. The overall profit decline in 2002 is primarily due to weaker hotel results and losses in our distribution services business associated with management’s decision to exit the distribution services business, partially offset by the lower tax rate associated with our Synthetic Fuel business under the equity method of accounting.

Discontinued Operations

Senior Living Services.

On December 17, 2002, we sold twelve senior living communities to CNL for approximately $89 million in cash. We accounted for the sale under the full accrual method in accordance with FAS No. 66, and strongerwe recorded an after-tax loss of approximately $13 million. On December 30, 2002, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our senior living management business to Sunrise and to sell nine senior living communities to CNL. We completed the sales to Sunrise and CNL in addition to the related sale of a parcel of land to Sunrise on March 28, 2003, for $266 million and recognized a gain, net of taxes, of $23 million.

Also, on December 30, 2002, we purchased 14 senior living communities for approximately $15 million in cash, plus the assumption of $227 million in debt, from an unrelated owner. We had previously agreed to provide a form of credit enhancement on the outstanding debt related to these communities. Management has approved and committed to a plan to sell these communities within 12 months. As part of the plan, subsequent to quarter end, on March 31, 2003, we acquired all of the subordinated credit-enhanced mortgage securities relating to the 14 communities in a transaction in which we issued $46 million of unsecured Marriott International, Inc. notes, due April 2004. As a result of the above transactions, at March 28, 2003, the operating results associated withof our Senior Living Services business segment. Senior Living Services profits included $11segment are reported in discontinued operations, and the remaining assets are classified as assets held for sale on the balance sheet.

Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes and excluding the gain on disposal of $23 million, was $7 million, an increase of pretax$3 million over first quarter 2002 results. The results reflect income associated withfrom the sale of14 properties purchased in the Village Oaks communities. Systemwide sales increased to $14.4 billion.

Marriott Lodging reported a 20 percent decrease in operating profit to $505 million, on sales of $5.7 billion, which was flat with last year. Systemwide lodging sales were unchanged at $12.6 billion.
We added a total of 123 lodging properties (20,734 units) during the first thirty-six weeksfourth quarter of 2002 and deflagged 16 properties (2,130 units).
Across our Lodging brands, REVPAR for comparable managed U.S. properties decreased by an average of 9.2 percent in the first three quarters of 2002. Average room rates for these hotels declined 6.5 percent and occupancy declined 2.1 percentage points. Management and franchise fees decreased 11.3 percent comparedlower depreciation due to the first three quartersclassification of 2001. Our operating results reflectassets as held for sale. The comparison to 2002 includes the impact of a weaker economy, offset by the $19 million reduction in amortization expense resulting from our adoption of FAS No. 142one-time payment received in the first quarter of 2002. The following table shows the occupancy, average daily rate and REVPAR for each of our principal established brands.

Across Marriott’s domestic full-service lodging brands (Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites; Renaissance Hotels, Resorts and Suites; and The Ritz-Carlton Hotels), REVPAR for comparable company-operated U.S. properties declined 9.3 percent during the first three quarters of 2002. Average room rates for these hotels declined 6.3 percent and occupancy decreased 2.3 percentage points to 69.0 percent.

Our domestic select-service and extended-stay brands (Fairfield Inn, Courtyard, Residence Inn,SpringHill Suites and TownePlace Suites) had average REVPAR declines of 7.0 percent, reflecting occupancy declines of 2.8 percentage points and average room rate declines of 7.3 percent.
Results for international lodging operations declined due to the impact of the decrease in international travel, partially offset by higher margins.
Our timeshare business reported a 4 percent decrease in contract sales in the first three quarters of 2002 due to the impact of the prior year acquisition of the Grand Residence Club at Lake Tahoe. Sales growth was strong at timeshare resorts in Hawaii, California and Colorado, but remained soft in Florida. Profits for the first three quarters of 2002 declined 8 percent largely due to higher product costs as a result of the acquisition of The Grand Residence Club at Lake Tahoe. Note sale gains were approximately $47 million compared to $40 million in the prior year. We sold $252 million in notes in the first three quarters of 2002 compared to $199 million in the prior year period.
Senior Living Services posted a 9 percent increase in sales and a $19 million increase in operating profit in the first three quarters of 2002.

Distribution Services.

As of cost containment initiatives, lower depreciation expense due toJanuary 3, 2003, through a combination of sale and transfer of nine facilities and the classificationtermination of all operations at four facilities, we completed our exit of the Village Oaks communitiesdistribution services business. Accordingly, we present the exit costs and the operating results for our distribution services business as discontinued operations for the twelve weeks ended March 28, 2003 and March 22, 2002, and the remaining assets are classified as held for sale at March 28, 2003 and $3 million of lower amortization expense associated with our adoption of FAS No. 142 inJanuary 3, 2003. In the first quarter of 2002. These were partially offset by higher casualty insurance costs. Occupancy for comparable communities was 83.5 percent in2003, we incurred exit costs of $1 million, primarily related to ongoing compensation costs associated with the first three quarters of 2002, relatively stable with a year ago.

Distribution Services posted a 4 percent decrease in sales in the first three quarters of 2002, reflecting lower sales volume, partially offset by the commencement of new contracts since the comparable 2001 period, which include the distribution of higher priced, but lower margin items. Although we obtained a number of new contracts over the past year, the number of cases we shipped was down 9 percent. This volume decline is largely attributable to our loss of one significant customer. MDS reported a $42 million loss for the three quarters ended September 6, 2002, primarily as a result of the $30 million chargewind down. Additional costs associated with the wind down of the distribution business. The increased proportion of lower margin business, the volume decline, and a $2 million write-offare expected to be incurred in the firstsecond quarter of 2002 of an investment in a customer contract also contributed2003. Although we are unable to estimate the loss.
Corporate Expenses, Interest and Taxes.    Interest expense decreased $16 million, reflecting lower borrowings and lower interest rates, partially offset by less capitalized interest. Corporate expenses increased $5 million, reflectingcosts, we do not expect the following: (i) 2002 items, includingcosts to be material since the continued favorable impact of our cost containment initiatives, and a $7 million reserve in connection with a lawsuit involving the sale of a hotel previously managed by us, and higher foreign exchange losses; and (ii) 2001 items, including the $13 million write-off of two investments in technology partnerships, $4 million of expenses associated with the start-up of Avendra LLC, the reversal of a $10 million insurance reserve related to a lawsuit at one of our hotels, and the $11 million gain from the sale of four affordable housing investments. Our effective income tax rate decreased from 36.5 percent to 9.9 percent primarily due to the impact of the tax benefit and tax credits arising from our Synthetic Fuel business and the elimination of nondeductible goodwill amortization, partially offset by the 2001 sale of the affordable housing investments.
wind down is substantially complete.

Synthetic Fuel.    In the first three quarters of 2002, our Synthetic Fuel business reflected sales of $113 million and an operating loss of $81 million, resulting in a tax benefit of $28 million and tax credits of $91 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have credit facilities which support our commercial paper program and letters of credit. At September 6, 2002,March 28, 2003, our cash balances combined with our available borrowing capacity under the credit facilities amounted to nearly $2 billion. We consider these resources, together with cash we expect to generate from operations, adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, finance our long-term growth plans, meet debt service and fulfill other cash requirements. requirements, including the repayment of $200 million of senior notes due in November 2003.

We monitor the status of the capital markets, and regularly evaluate the effect that changes in capital market conditions may have on our ability to execute our announced growth plans. We expect that part of our financing and liquidity needs will continue to be met through commercial paper borrowings and access to long-term committed credit facilities. If conditions in the lodging industry deteriorate, we may be unable to place some or all of our commercial paper, and may have to rely more on bank borrowings which may carry a higher cost than commercial paper.

We are in the process of preparing and presenting a claim with an insurance company for lost management fees from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. At this stage of the claims process, the amounts that may be paid to us are not currently estimable.

Cash and equivalents totaled $311$525 million at September 6, 2002, a decreaseMarch 28, 2003, an increase of $506$327 million from year-end 2001, primarily resulting fromyear end 2002. We increased our cash position as a result of the repayment of debt. Net income is stated after recording depreciation expense of $96 million and $93 million foruncertainty associated with the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2002 and September 7, 2001, respectively, and after amortization expense of $32 million and $54 million, respectively, for the same time periods. war in Iraq.

Earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the thirty-six weeks ended September 6, 2002 decreased by $241 million, or 36 percent, to $536 million. Excluding the impact of ourfrom continuing operations and EBITDA from continuing operations, excluding Synthetic Fuel business,are financial measures that are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We consider EBITDA would have decreased by $165 million, or 21 percent,from continuing operations to $612 million. EBITDA isbe an indicator of operating performance, which can be used to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We also consider the presentation of EBITDA howeverfrom continuing operations, excluding our Synthetic Fuel business to provide a useful supplemental measure to investors because the significant losses produced by our Synthetic Fuel Facilities are more than offset by the tax credits generated, which reduce our income tax expense. However, EBITDA is not an alternative to net income, operating profit,financial results, cash flows from operations, or any other operating or liquidity measure prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

EBITDA (from continuing operations) for the twelve weeks ended March 28, 2003 decreased by $61 million, or 36 percent, to $107 million. Excluding the impact of the $57 million EBITDA decrease from our Synthetic Fuel business, EBITDA would have decreased by $9 million, or 5 percent to $164 million.

loan advances.

In April 1999, January 2000, and January 2001, we filed “universal shelf” registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the amounts of $500 million, $300 million and $300 million, respectively. As of September 6, 2002,March 28, 2003, we had offered and sold to the public under these registration statements, $300 million of debt securities at 77/8 %,%, due 2009 and $300 million at 81/8%, due 2005, leaving a balance of $500 million available for future offerings.

In January 2001, we issued, through a private placement, $300

Approximately $70 million in face amount of 7 percent senior unsecured notes, due 2008, and received net proceeds of $297 million. We completed a registered exchange offer for these notes on January 15, 2002.

On May 8, 2001, we issuedour zero-coupon convertible senior notes due 2021, known as LYONs and received cash proceeds of $405 million. Onare presently outstanding. These LYONs which were issued on May 9, 2002, we redeemed for cash the approximately

85 percent of the LYONs that were tendered for mandatory repurchase by the holders. The remaining LYONs8, 2001, are convertible into approximately .90.9 million shares of our Class A Common Stock, and carry a yield to maturity of 0.75 percent. We may not redeem the LYONs prior to May 8, 2004. We may at the option of the holders be required to purchase the LYONs at their accreted value on May 8 of each of 2004, 2011 and 2016. We may choose to pay the purchase price for redemptions or repurchases in cash and/or shares of our Class A Common Stock.
We classify LYONs as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the obligation with long-term debt if we are required to repurchase the LYONs.

Share RepurchasesCRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our accounting policies, which are in compliance with principles generally accepted in the United States, require us to apply methodologies, estimates and judgments that have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. In our annual report on Form 10-K we have discussed those policies that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application. Since the date of that Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions applied under them.

SHARE REPURCHASES

We purchased 3.84.9 million shares of our Class A Common Stock during the thirty-sixtwelve weeks ended September 6, 2002.March 28, 2003 at an average price of $31.28 per share. As of September 6, 2002,March 28, 2003, we were authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase 9.718.1 million shares.

AvendraAVENDRA

In January 2001, Marriott and Hyatt Corporation formed a joint venture, Avendra LLC (Avendra), to be an independent professional procurement services company serving the North American hospitality market and related industries. Six Continents Hotels, Inc., ClubCorp USA Inc., and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Inc., joined Avendra in March 2001. We and the other four members contributed our respective procurement businesses to Avendra. Currently, our interest in Avendra is slightly less than 50 percent.

Avendra generally does not purchase and resell goods and services; instead, its customers purchase goods and services directly from Avendra’s vendors on terms negotiated by Avendra. Avendra earns revenue through agreements with its vendors which provide that the vendors pay Avendra an unrestricted allowance for purchases by its customers. Our hotel management agreements treat vendor-generated

unrestricted allowances in three separate ways, and the requirements of those agreements are reflected in our Procurement Services Agreement with Avendra (PSA).

For purchases of goods and services by the majority of Marriott’s managed hotels, Avendra is permitted to retain unrestricted allowances, in an amount sufficient only to recover Avendra’s properly allocated costs of providing procurement services. Other management contracts allow Avendra to retain vendor allowances and earn a return which is competitive in the industry. This amount is capped by the PSA. Lastly, for purchases of goods and services by hotels owned by one of Marriott’s hotel owners, Avendra is not permitted to retain any of such unrestricted allowances; instead, Avendra charges a negotiated fee to Marriott, and Marriott in turn charges a negotiated fee to that owner. In 2001, we returned to hotels that we manage approximately $8 million in cash rebates from Avendra, and its predecessor Marketplace by Marriott. If Marriott franchised hotels (not managed by Marriott) elect to purchase through Avendra, they negotiate separately with Avendra and are not bound by the terms of the PSA for our managed hotels. We account for our interest in Avendra under the equity method and recognized a lossincome of $1$0.1 million in 2001.

Relationship with Host Marriott
In recognitionthe first quarter of the evolving changes2003. After we have recovered our investment in the lodging industry over the last ten yearsAvendra and the age of our agreements with Host Marriott, many provisions of which predated our 1993 Spinoff, and the need to provide clarity on a number of points and consistency on contractual terms over the large portfolio of Host Marriott owned hotels, we and Host Marriott concluded that we could mutually enhance the long term strength and growth of both companies by updating our existing relationship. Accordingly, we recently negotiated certain changes to our management agreements for Host Marriott-owned hotels. The modifications which were completed during the third quarter are effective as of the beginning of our 2002 fiscal year. These changes, among other things,
Provided Host Marriott with additional approval rights over budgets and capital expenditures;
Extended the term of management agreements for five hotels that were subject to termination in the short term, and two core system hotels that provide additional years at the end of the current term;
Changed the pool of hotels that Host Marriott could sell with franchise agreements to one of our approved franchisees and revised the method of determining the number of hotels that may be sold without a management agreementassociated expenses through distributions from Avendra or franchise agreement;
Lowered the incentive management fees payable to us by amounts that will depend in part on underlying hotel profitability-- we expect the reduction to be approximately $2.5 million in 2002;
Reduced certain expenses to the properties and lowered Host Marriott’s working capital requirements;
Confirmed that we and our affiliates may earn a profit (in addition to what we earn through management fees) on certain transactions relating to Host Marriott-owned properties, and established the specific conditions under which we may profit on future transactions; and
Terminated our prior right to make significant purchases of Host Marriott’s outstanding common stock upon certain changes of control and clarified our rights in each of our management agreements to prevent either a sale of the hotelall or any portion of our equity interest in Avendra, we will apply any further benefits to our major competitors or specified changes in control of Hostoffset costs otherwise allocable to Marriott involving our major competitors.
The monetary effect of the changes will depend on future events such as the operating results of thebranded hotels. We do not expect these modifications to have a material financial impact on us.

In September and October 2002April 2003, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the company’sCompany’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 and 15d-14. Management necessarily applied its judgement in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to timely alert them to any material information relating to the companyCompany (including its consolidated subsidiaries) that must be included in our periodic SEC filings.

In addition, there have been no significant changes in the company’sCompany’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
