NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1: Organization

Organization

Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” and, exclusive of any subsidiaries, "Park Parent") is a Delaware corporation that owns a portfolio of premium-branded hotels and resorts primarily located in prime city center and resort locations. On January 3, 2017, Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (“Hilton”) completed the spin-off of a portfolio of hotels and resorts that established Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. as an independent, publicly traded company.

On May 5, 2019, the Company, PK Domestic Property LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company (“PK Domestic”), and PK Domestic Sub LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PK Domestic (“Merger Sub”) entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Chesapeake Lodging Trust (“Chesapeake”). On September 18, 2019, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Chesapeake merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”) and each of Chesapeake’s common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01$0.01 par value per share, was converted into $11.00$11.00 in cash and 0.628 of a share of our common stock. No fractional shares of our common stock were issued in the Merger. The value of any fractional interests to which a Chesapeake shareholder would otherwise have been entitled was paid in cash.

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax purposes. We have been organized and operated, and we expect to continue to be organized and operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy requirements related to, among other things, the real estate qualification of sources of our income, the real estate composition and values of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders annually and the diversity of ownership of our stock. From the date of our spin-off from Hilton, Park Intermediate Holdings LLC (our “Operating Company”), directly or indirectly, has held all our assets and has conducted all of our operations. Park Parent owned 100%100% of the interests of our Operating Company until December 31, 2021 when the business undertook an internal reorganization transitioning our structure to a traditional umbrella partnership REIT ("UPREIT") structure. Effective January 1, 2022, Park Parent became the managing member of our Operating Company and PK Domestic REIT Inc., a direct subsidiary of Park Parent, became a member of our Operating Company. We may, in the future, issue interests in (or from) our Operating Company in connection with acquiring hotels, financings, issuance of equity compensation or other purposes.

Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All significant intercompany transactions and balances within the financial statements have been eliminated.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.

To the extent we continue to remain qualified as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal (and state) income tax on taxable income generated by our REIT activities that we distribute annually to our stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been included in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three or sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022 related to our REIT activities. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) are generally subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes (as applicable).

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we recognized income tax expense of $5$5 million which is primarily related to taxable income from our TRSs.

Note 9: Share-Based Compensation

We issue equity-based awards to our employees pursuant to the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Employee Plan”) and our non-employee directors pursuant to the 2017 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2017 Director Plan”), both of which are amended and restated from time to time. An amendment and restatement of the 2017 Employee Plan was approved by our Board of Directors in February 2023 and approved by our stockholders in April 2023 to, among other changes, increase the number of shares available to be issued by 6,070,000,, from 8,000,000 to 14,070,000 shares. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, 7,498,7287,498,093 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance. The 2017 Director Plan provides that a maximum of 950,000 shares of our common stock may be issued, and as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023,274,939 263,524 sharesof common stock remain available for future issuance. For both the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $5$5 million and $4 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense and $9$14 million and $13 million, respectively, for both the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, unrecognized compensation expense was$29 $24 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.91.6 years. The total fair value of shares vested (calculated as the number of shares multiplied by the vesting date share price) for both the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022 was $7$7 million.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) generally vest in annual installments between one and three years from each grant date. The following table provides a summary of RSAs for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023:

Performance Stock Units

Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) generally vest at the end of a three-year performance period and are subject to the achievement of a market condition based on a measure of our total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder return of the companies that comprise the FTSE Nareit Lodging Resorts Index (that have a market capitalization in excess of $1$1 billion as of the first day of the applicable performance period). The number of PSUs that may become vested ranges from zero to 200%200% of the number of PSUs granted to an employee, based on the level of achievement of the foregoing performance measure.

Additionally, in November 2020, we granted special awards with vesting of these awards subject to the achievement of eight increasing levels of our average closing sales price per share, from $11.00$11.00 to $25.00,$25.00, over a

Note 11: Business Segment Information

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we have two operating segments, our consolidated hotels and unconsolidated hotels. Our unconsolidated hotels operating segment does not meet the definition of a reportable segment, thus our consolidated hotels is our only reportable segment. We evaluate our consolidated hotels primarily based on hotel adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA from hotel operations, adjusted to exclude the following items that are not reflective of our ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business, and thus excluded from management's analysis in making day to day operating decisions and evaluations of our operating performance against other companies within our industry:

Gains or losses on sales of assets for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments;
Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period;
Severance expense;
Share-based compensation expense;
Impairment losses and casualty gains or losses; and
Other items that we believe are not representative of our current or future operating performance.

The following table presents revenues for our consolidated hotels reconciled to our consolidated amounts and net income to Hotel Adjusted EBITDA:

Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we had outstanding commitments under third-party contracts of approximately $163$135 millionfor capital expenditures at our properties, of which $37$30 million relates to projects at the Bonnet Creek complex, including the meeting space expansion project and renovation of guestrooms, existing meeting space, lobbies, golf course and other recreational amenities, $43$28 million relates to the complete renovation of all guestrooms, public spaces, and certain hotel infrastructure at the Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection, and $27$25 million relates to the Tapa Tower guestroom renovations at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort. Our contracts contain clauses that allow us to cancel all or some portion of the work. If cancellation of a contract occurred, our commitment would be any costs incurred up to the cancellation date, in addition to any costs associated with the discharge of the contract.

We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums, and may make certain indemnifications or guarantees to select buyers of our hotels as part of a sale process. We are also involved in claims and litigation that is not in the ordinary course of business in connection with the spin-off from Hilton. The spin-off agreements provide that Hilton will indemnify us from certain of these claims as well as require us to indemnify Hilton for other claims. In addition, losses related to certain contingent liabilities could be apportioned to us under the spin-off agreements. In connection with our obligation to indemnify Hilton under the spin-off agreements, we have reserved approximately$8 $8 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023 related to litigation with respect to an audit by the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”) of Hilton related to the sale of the Hilton Sydney in June 2015. This amount could change as the litigation of the ATO’s claim progresses.
Note 13: Subsequent Events

14

In October 2023, the trustee for the SF Mortgage Loan filed a lawsuit against the borrowers under the SF Mortgage Loan. In connection with the lawsuit, the court appointed a receiver to take control of the Hilton San Francisco Hotels, which serve as security for the SF Mortgage Loan, and their operations, and thus, we have no further economic interest in the operations of the hotels. The receiver will operate and has authority over the hotels and, until no later than November 1, 2024, has the ability to sell the hotels. The lawsuit contemplates the receivership will end with a non-judicial foreclosure by December 2, 2024, if the hotels are not sold within the predetermined sale period.

The effective exit from the Hilton San Francisco Hotels results in a required distribution. Thus, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.77 per share on October 27, 2023, which will be paid on January 16, 2024 to stockholders of record as of December 29, 2023.

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

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to the anticipated effects of the Company's decision to cease payments on its $725 million non-recourse CMBS loan ("SF Mortgage Loan") secured by two of our San Francisco hotels – the 1,921-room Hilton San Francisco Union Square and the 1,024-room Parc 55 San Francisco – a Hilton Hotel ("SF Mortgage Loan"(collectively, the "Hilton San Francisco Hotels"), and the effects of the lender's exercise of its remedies, including placing such hotels into receivership, as well as our current expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, including anticipated repayment of certain of the Company's indebtedness, the completion of capital allocation priorities, the expected repurchase of the Company's stock, the impact to our business and financial condition and that of our hotel management companies, the impact from macroeconomic factors (including inflation, increases in interest rates, potential economic slowdown or a recession and geopolitical conflicts), the effects of competition, the effects of future legislation or regulations, the expected completion of anticipated dispositions, the declaration and payment of future dividends and other non-historical statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, and in some cases, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates”, “hopes” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance or future achievements or events.

All such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of management and therefore involve estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in these forward-looking statements. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and we urge investors to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and uncertainties in Item 1A: “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, as well as risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We have a diverse portfolio of iconic and market-leading hotels and resorts with significant underlying real estate value. We currently hold investments in entities that have ownership or leasehold interests in 4543 hotels (excluding the Hilton San Francisco Hotels), consisting of premium-branded hotels and resorts with over 29,00026,000 rooms, of which approximately 88%over 86% are luxury and upper upscale (as defined by Smith Travel Research) and are located in prime U.S. markets and its territories. Our high-quality portfolio currently includes hotels mostly in major urban and convention areas, such as New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, New Orleans and Denver; and premier resorts in key leisure destinations, including Hawaii, Orlando, Key West and Miami Beach; as well as hotels in select airport and suburban locations.

Our objective is to be the preeminent lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”), focused on consistently delivering superior, risk-adjusted returns to stockholders through active asset management and a thoughtful external growth strategy while maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet. As a pure-play real estate company with direct access to capital and independent financial resources, we believe our enhanced ability to implement compelling return on investment initiatives within our portfolio represents a significant embedded growth opportunity. Finally, given our scale and investment expertise, we believe we will be able to successfully execute single-asset and portfolio acquisitions and dispositions to further enhance the value and diversification of our assets throughout the lodging cycle, including potentially taking advantage of the economies of scale that could come from consolidation in the lodging REIT industry.
16

We operate our business through two operating segments, our consolidated hotels and unconsolidated hotels. Our consolidated hotels operating segment is our only reportable segment. Refer to Note 11: “Business"Business Segment Information”Information" in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our operating segments.

Recent Events

In June

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we ceased making debt service payments towardsrepurchased approximately 5.8 million shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $75 million.
Additionally, in October 2023, the trustee for the SF Mortgage Loan which is scheduled to mature in November 2023, and we have received notice of default fromfiled a lawsuit against the servicer. We intend to work in good faith withborrowers under the SF Mortgage Loan's servicerLoan. In connection with the lawsuit, the court appointed a receiver to determine the most effective path forward, which is expected to result in the ultimate removaltake control of the Hilton San Francisco Union SquareHotels, which serve as security for the SF Mortgage Loan, and their operations, and thus, we have no further economic interest in the Parc 55operations of the hotels. The receiver will operate and has authority over the hotels and, until no later than November 1, 2024, has the ability to sell the hotels. The lawsuit contemplates the receivership will end with a non-judicial foreclosure by December 2, 2024, if the hotels are not sold within the predetermined sale period. The effective exit from the Hilton San Francisco Hotels results in a Hilton Hotel fromrequired distribution. Thus, our portfolio.

Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.77 per share on October 27, 2023, which will be paid on January 16, 2024 to stockholders of record as of December 29, 2023.

Outlook

Current economic challenges have affected discretionary spending and travel, including supply chain disruptions and increased inflation. Inflationary concerns may affect both consumer sentiment and demand for travel, as well as increased labor or other costs to maintain or operate hotels that cannot be reduced without adversely affecting business growth or hotel value. However, we have relied on the performance of our hotels and active asset management to mitigate the effects of inflation and current macroeconomic uncertainty, including recent pressures on the banking and financial industry.uncertainty. During the secondthird quarter of 2023, we have continued to experience improvements in leisure, groupoverall demand across our portfolio, although average daily rate ("ADR") growth has slowed as the industry recovery has stabilized and business transient demand, including our urban hotels. seasonal patterns have normalized. While there can be no assurances that we will not experience further fluctuations in hotel revenues or earnings at our hotels due to inflation and other macroeconomic factors, such as further increases in interest rates, local economic factors and demand, a potential economic slowdown or a recession and geopolitical conflicts, we expect the positive momentum to continue through the remainder of 2023 and into 2024 based on current demand trends and as demand from international travel is expectedcontinues to continue to improve during the second half of 2023.improve.

Key Business Metrics Used by Management

Occupancy

Occupancy represents the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available at a hotel or group of hotels. Occupancy measures the utilization of our hotels’ available capacity. We use occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help us determine achievable average daily rate ("ADR")ADR levels as demand for rooms increases or decreases.

Average Daily Rate

ADR represents rooms revenue divided by total number of room nights sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. ADR is a commonly used performance measure in the hotel industry, and we use ADR to assess pricing levels that we are able to generate by type of customer, as changes in rates have a more pronounced effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above.

Revenue per Available Room

Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") represents rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. We consider RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of our performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key factors of operations at a hotel or group of hotels: occupancy and ADR. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods.
17

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We also evaluate the performance of our business through certain other financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. GAAP. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered by investors as supplemental measures to GAAP performance measures such as total revenues, operating profit and net income (loss) income.

.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, presented herein, reflects net income (loss) income excluding depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income taxes and also interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization included in equity in earnings from investments in affiliates.

16


Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude the following items that are not reflective of our ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business, and thus, excluded from management's analysis in making day-to-day operating decisions and evaluations of our operating performance against other companies within our industry:

Gains or losses on sales of assets for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments;
Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period;
Severance expense;
Share-based compensation expense;
Impairment losses and casualty gains or losses; and
Other items that we believe are not representative of our current or future operating performance.

Hotel Adjusted EBITDA measures hotel-level results before debt service, depreciation and corporate expenses for our consolidated hotels, which excludes hotels owned by unconsolidated affiliates, and is a key measure of our profitability. We present Hotel Adjusted EBITDA to help us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our consolidated hotels.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures used by our management team to make day-to-day operating decisions and evaluate our operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the effect of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results; and (ii) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) income or other methods of analyzing our operating performance and results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our interest expense;
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our income tax expense;
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations; and
other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We do not use or present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA as measures of our liquidity or cash flow. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a
18

substitute for cash flow or other methods of analyzing our cash flows and liquidity as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; and
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

17


Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders and Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders

We present Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders and Nareit FFO per diluted share (defined as set forth below) as non-GAAP measures of our performance. We calculate funds from (used in) operations (“FFO”) attributable to stockholders for a given operating period in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real
19

Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), as net income (loss) income attributable to stockholders (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on sales of assets, impairment, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis. As noted by Nareit in its December 2018 “Nareit Funds from Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement,” since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For these reasons, Nareit adopted the FFO metric in order to promote an industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance. We believe Nareit FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs. Our presentation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the terms in accordance with the current Nareit definition, or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently than we do. We calculate Nareit FFO per diluted share as our Nareit FFO divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during a given operating period.

18


We also present Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders and Adjusted FFO per diluted share when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. Management historically has made the adjustments detailed below in evaluating our performance and in our annual budget process. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We adjust Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders:

Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period;
Severance expense;
Share-based compensation expense;
Casualty gains or losses; and
Other items that we believe are not representative of our current or future operating performance.

Results of Operations

Property dispositions have had a significant effect on the year-over-year comparability of our operations as further illustrated in the table of Hotel Revenues and Operating Expenses below. Since January 1, 2022, we have disposed of seven consolidated hotels. The results of operations of these hotels are included in our consolidated results only during our period of ownership.

Market-Specific Conditions

The increases in hotel revenues and operating expenses from other factors were primarily a result of significant occupancy increases in certain of our largest markets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, with our Hawaii, New York and Chicago markets experiencing the most significant changes. Combined occupancy and ADR at our two Hawaii hotels increased 6.1 percentage points and 3.5%, respectively, formarkets. During the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, our New York, Hawaii and 8.3 percentage points and 6.6%, respectively, forSeattle markets experienced the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to same periods in 2022, driven by an increase in domestic transient demand primarily at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, which experienced increases in both occupancy and ADR of 9.0 percentage points and 8.8%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023most significant changes compared to the same period in 2022. The New York Hilton Midtown benefited from increases in group and transient demand resulting in increases in occupancy and ADR of 17.617.8 percentage points and 26.34.1%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Combined occupancy at our two Hawaii hotels increased 2.3 percentage points for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 compared to same period in 2022, driven by an increase in group demand primarily at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, which experienced increases in both occupancy and ADR of 1.5 percentage points and 1.6%, respectively. Combined occupancy at our Seattle hotels increased 14.2 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to an increase in transient demand.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our Hawaii, New York and and Chicago markets experienced the most significant changes compared to the same period in 2022. Combined occupancy and ADR at our Chicagotwo Hawaii hotels increased 9.06.3 percentage points and 7.6%4.2%, respectively, for the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 compared to same period in 2022, driven by increases in group and 11.1domestic transient demand primarily at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, which experienced increases in both occupancy and ADR of 6.5 percentage points and 3.0%5.8%, respectively,respectively. The New York Hilton Midtown benefited from increases in group and transient demand resulting in increases in occupancy of 23.5 percentage points for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 compared to the same periodsperiod in 2022. Combined occupancy at our Chicago hotels increased 7.7 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to increases in bothtransient and group and transient demand.
Additionally, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, hotel revenues and operating expenses for the Parc 55 San Francisco – a Hilton Hotel increased $20$23 million and $14$15 million, respectively, compared to the same period in
22

2022 as the hotel's operations were suspended until May 2022. These increases are partially offset by the impact from the suspension of operations at the Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection, beginning in May 2023 due to renovations, which resulted in a decrease in hotel revenues of $11 million and $28 million, respectively, and operating expenses of $5 million and $10 million, and $18 millionrespectively, for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022.

Other revenue and Other operating expense

During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, other revenue increased by $3 million and $7$10 million, respectively, and other operating expense increased by $4$1 million and $8$9 million, respectively, due to an increase in business and related costs that are allocated to the Hilton Grand Vacations pursuant to service arrangements with certain of our hotels.

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we recognized income tax expense of $5 million, which is primarily related to taxable income from our TRSs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We seek to maintain sufficient amounts of liquidity with an appropriate balance of cash, debt and equity to provide financial flexibility. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $797$726 million and $45$60 million of restricted cash. Restricted cash primarily consists of cash restricted as to use by our debt agreements and reserves for capital expenditures in accordance with certain of our management agreements. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, restricted cash included $13$26 million of hotel operating cash related to the default on our SF Mortgage Loan and the use of such funds is limited pursuant to the terms of the loan and associated agreements.

During the secondthird quarter of 2023, we continued to experience improvements in leisure, group and business transientoverall demand across our portfolio and expect the positive momentum to continue through the remainder of 2023 and into 2024 based on current demand trends and as demand from international travel is expectedcontinues to continue to improve during the second half of 2023.improve. We continue to mitigate the effects of macroeconomic and inflationary pressures through active asset management.

With approximately $950 million available under our Revolver and $797$726 million in existing cash and cash equivalents, we have sufficient liquidity to pay our debt maturities and to fund other liquidity obligations over the next 12 months and beyond. We have no significant maturities in 2023, except for the SF Mortgage Loan due in November 2023, for which we ceased making debt service payments in June 2023. Failure2023 and is in default. Refer to make debt service payments constitutes a default. We intend to workNote 6: "Debt" and Note 13: "Subsequent Events" in good faith with the SF Mortgage Loan's servicer to determine the most effective path forward, which is expected to result in the ultimate removal of the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and the Parc 55 San Francisco – a Hilton Hotel from our portfolio. Additionally, in June 2023, we fully repaid the $75 million mortgage loan secured by the W Chicago – City Center, due in August 2023, with available cashunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report on hand.Form 10-Q for additional information. We may also take actions to improve our liquidity, such as the issuance of additional debt, equity or equity-linked securities, if we determine that doing so would be beneficial to us. However, there can no assurance as to the timing of any such issuance, which may be in the near term, or that any such additional financing will be completed on favorable terms, or at all.

Our known short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures, including reimbursements to our hotel manager for payroll and related benefits, costs associated with the operation of our hotels, interest and contractually due principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures for in-progress renovations and maintenance at our hotels, corporate general and administrative expenses and dividends to our stockholders. In addition, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.77 per share, or approximately $162 million, which will be paid in January 2024, refer to Note 13: "Subsequent Events" in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. Many of the other expenses associated with our hotels are relatively fixed, including portions of rent expense, property taxes and insurance. Since we generally are unable to decrease these costs significantly or rapidly when demand for our hotels decreases, the resulting decline in our revenues can have a greater adverse effect on our net cash flow, margins and profits. Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities, capital improvements at our hotels, and costs associated with potential acquisitions.

Our commitments to fund capital expenditures for renovations and maintenance at our hotels will be funded by cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash to the extent permitted by our lending agreements and cash flow from operations. We have construction contract commitments of approximately $163$135 million for capital expenditures at our properties, of which $37$30 million relates to projects at the Bonnet Creek complex, including the meeting space expansion project and renovation of guestrooms, existing meeting space, lobbies, golf course and other recreational amenities, $43$28 million relates to the complete renovation of all guestrooms, public spaces, and certain hotel infrastructure at the Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection, and $27$25 million relates to the Tapa Tower guestroom renovations at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort. Our contracts contain clauses that allow us to cancel all or some portion of the work. Additionally, we have established reserves for capital expenditures (“FF&E reserve”) in accordance with our management and certain debt agreements. Generally, these agreements require that we fund 4% of hotel revenues into an FF&E reserve, unless such amounts have been incurred.
25

Our cash management objectives continue to be to maintain the availability of liquidity, minimize operational costs, make debt payments and fund our capital expenditure programs and future acquisitions. Further, we have an investment policy that is focused on the preservation of capital and maximizing the return on new and existing investments.

Stock Repurchase Program

In February 2023, our Board of Directors terminated a previous stock repurchase program that was approved in February 2022 (the "February 2022 Stock Repurchase Program") and authorized and approved a new stock repurchase program allowing us to repurchase up to $300 million of our common stock over a two-year period ending in February 2025 (the "February 2023 Stock Repurchase Program" and collectively with the February 2022 Stock Repurchase Program the "Stock Repurchase Programs"), subject to any applicable limitations or restrictions set forth in our credit facility and indentures related to our Senior Notes. Stock repurchases may be made through open market purchases, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading programs, in privately negotiated transactions, or

23


in such other manner that would comply with applicable securities laws. The timing of any future stock repurchases and the number of shares to be repurchased will depend upon prevailing market conditions and other factors, and we may suspend the repurchase program at any time. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we repurchased in aggregate under the Stock Repurchase Programs approximately 8.8 million14.6 shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $105$180 million. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, $225$150 million remained available for stock repurchases under the February 2023 Stock Repurchase Program.

Operating Activities

Cash flow from operating activities are primarily generated from the operating income generated at our hotels. The $59$38 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in cash from operations as a result of an increase in occupancy at our hotels.

hotels, a decrease in cash paid for interest of $20 million, primarily due to the cessation of debt service payments toward the SF Mortgage Loan, and an increase in interest income of $23 million due to an increase in average cash balances and interest rates.

Investing Activities

The $20$91 million in net cash used in investing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to $135$206 million in capital expenditures and land acquisitions, partially offset by $116 million of net proceeds from the sale of one of our hotels.

The $147$140 million in net cash provided by investing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to $199$244 million of net proceeds from the sale of threefive of our hotels and our ownership interests in the joint ventures that own and operate one hotel, partially offset by $52$104 million in capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

The $327$439 million in net cash used in financing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to $130 million of debt repayments, the repurchase of approximately 8.814.6 million shares of our common stock for $105approximately $180 million, $132 million of debt repayments and $88$120 million of dividends paid.
26

The $234$242 million in net cash used in financing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to the repurchase of approximately 12.0 million shares of our common stock for approximately $218 million.

Dividends

As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders on an annual basis. Therefore, as a general matter, after consideration of the allowable use of our net operating loss carryforward, we intend to make distributions of all, or substantially all, of our REIT taxable income (including net capital gains) to our stockholders, and, as a result, we will not be required to pay tax on our income. Consequently, before consideration of the use of any net operating loss carryforward, it is unlikely that we will be able to retain substantial cash balances that could be used to meet our liquidity needs from our annual taxable income. Instead, we will need to meet these needs from external sources of capital and amounts, if any, by which our cash flow generated from operations exceeds taxable income.

We declared the following dividends to holders of our common stock during 2023:

Debt

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, our total indebtedness was approximately $4.5 billion, including approximately $2.1 billion of our Senior Notes and the $725 million SF Mortgage Loan on which we ceased making debt service payments in June 2023, and excluding approximately $169 million of our share of debt from investments in affiliates. Substantially all the debt of such unconsolidated affiliates is secured solely by the affiliates’ assets or is guaranteed by other partners without recourse to us. Refer to Note 6: “Debt”"Debt" in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the related disclosures in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2023. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methods or assumptions we apply.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates, which may affect our future income, cash flows and fair value, depending on changes to interest rates. In certain situations, we may seek to reduce cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates by entering into financial arrangements intended to provide a hedge against a portion of the risks associated with such volatility.
27

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)), as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed or submitted with the Securities and Exchange Commission (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
28

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which include claims for substantial sums, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, employee claims and consumer protection claims. Most occurrences involving liability, claims of negligence and employees are covered by insurance with solvent insurance carriers. For those matters not covered by insurance, which include commercial matters, we recognize a liability when we believe the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty. We believe we have adequate reserves against such matters. We currently believe that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, depending on the amount and timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect our future results of operations in a particular period.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in response to “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
