Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1. Organization, operations and basis of presentation

Background

Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. (“Playa” or the “Company”) is a leading owner, operator and developer of all-inclusive resorts in prime beachfront locations in popular vacation destinations. We own and/or manage a portfolio of 22 resorts located in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in our condensed consolidated financial statements (our “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) to “we,” “our,” “us” and similar expressions refer to Playa and its subsidiaries.

COVID-19 impact

Due to the spread of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global pandemic, and in response to related governmental restrictions and advisories, reductions in scheduled commercial airline service, and potential health risks to our employees and guests, we temporarily suspended operations at all of our resorts from late March through June 2020. Our resorts began reopening in July, in stages, based on incremental easing of government restrictions and advisories and increases in scheduled commercial airline service. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, all of our resorts are open. We also implemented additional safety measures at our resorts to mitigate the potential health risks of COVID-19. We cannot predict when our business will return to normalized levels because we cannot predict when all effects of the pandemic will subside. The longer and more severe the pandemic, the greater the material adverse effect the pandemic will have on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, access to credit markets and ability to service our debt.

Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2021 (the “Annual Report”).

In our opinion, the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation.

The results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2021. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following disclosures are in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

In connection with our efforts to remediate the Tax Weakness (as defined in Item 4. Controls and Procedures) in our internal control over financial reporting, we identified an error in our previously disclosed deferred tax liabilities for one of our Dominican Republic entities during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Our Dominican Republic entities are subject to a hybrid tax regime where deferred tax liabilities are recognized using a hybrid tax rate. We determined that the basis difference related to the underlying purchase price value of land was not included in our initial hybrid tax calculation, which resulted in a $7.3 million understatement of our deferred tax liabilities and accumulated deficit for all prior periods presented.

We assessed the materiality of the error on our financial statements for prior periods in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250, Presentation of Financial Statements, and concluded that it was not material to any prior annual or interim periods. However, the aggregate amount of the prior period corrections of the immaterial error through September 30, 2021 of $7.3 million would have been material, if corrected, to the results of operations in the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2021. Consequently, in accordance with ASC 250 (specifically SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements), we have corrected the error for all prior periods presented by revising the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information included herein. The adjustment had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all prior periods presented.

Date of Adoption

Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

The standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities.

January 2021

The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 resulted in changes to our deferred tax liabilities and deferred income tax expense for our resorts located in the Dominican Republic, which are subject to hybrid tax regimes. We adopted ASU No. 2019-12 on a modified retrospective basis through a $3.4 million cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 other than trade and other receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our receivables are primarily the result of contracts with customers, which are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of amounts that will not be collected.

We record contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of guests staying at our resorts, which are presented as advance deposits (see Note 14) within trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our advanced deposits are generally recognized as revenue within one year.

Effective March 29, 2018, we entered into 2 interest rate swaps to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent to our floating rate debt. The interest rate swaps are not for trading purposes and have fixed notional values of $200.0 million and $600.0 million. The fixed rate paid by us is 2.85% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate, which results in us fixing LIBOR at 2.85% on $800.0 million of our Term Loan. The interest rate swaps mature on March 31, 2023.

Our interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, but are deemed ineffective due to the decrease in interest rates. All changes in fair value are recognized through interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following tables present the effect of our interest rate swaps, net of tax, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020 ($ in thousands):

Derivative financial instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the interest rate swaps. We incorporate these counterparty credit risks in our fair value measurements (see Note 13) and believe we minimize this credit risk by transacting with major creditworthy financial institutions.

Note 13. Fair value of financial instruments

The objective of a fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework, which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

•Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and reflect our judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

We believe the carrying value of our financial instruments, excluding our debt, approximate their fair values as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. We did not have any Level 3 instruments during any of the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial ~~Statements~~Statements.

The following ~~table presents~~tables present our fair value hierarchy for our financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 ($ in thousands):

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and our financial instruments not measured at fair value:


						Valuation Technique
Financial instruments recorded at fair value
Interest rate swaps						The fair value of the interest rate swaps is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the swaps, the contractual period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is largely dependent on forecasted LIBOR as of the measurement date. If, in subsequent periods, forecasted LIBOR exceeds 2.85%, we will recognize a gain and future cash inflows. Conversely, if forecasted LIBOR falls below 2.85% in subsequent periods, we will recognize a loss and future cash outflows.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value
Term Loans and Property Loan						The fair value of our Term Loans and Property Loan are estimated using cash flow projections over the remaining contractual period by applying market forward rates and discounting back at the appropriate discount rate.
Revolving Credit Facility						The valuation technique of our Revolving Credit Facility is consistent with our Term Loans. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility generally approximates its carrying value as the expected term is significantly shorter in duration.

(3) Represents the unamortized balance of key money received, which is amortized as a reduction to franchise fees within direct expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We received $8.5 million of additional key money in 2020.

Note 15. ~~Segment information~~Business segments

We consider each one of our owned resorts to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. We also allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual resorts. Our operating segments meet the aggregation criteria and thus, we present 4 separate reportable segments by geography: (i) Yucatán Peninsula, (ii) Pacific Coast, (iii) Dominican Republic and (iv) Jamaica. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, we have excluded the immaterial amounts of management fees, cost reimbursements and other from our segment reporting.

Our operating segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, all of whom represent our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Financial information for each reportable segment is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources.

The performance of our business is evaluated primarily on adjusted earnings before interest expense, income tax (provision) benefit, and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which should not be considered an alternative to net loss or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The performance of our segments is evaluated on Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expenses and management fee income (“Owned Resort EBITDA”).

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the period presented, before interest expense, income tax (provision) benefit, and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted to exclude the following items: (a) impairment loss; (b) loss on sale of assets; (c) other ~~(expense) income; (d) share-based compensation; (e) other tax~~ income (expense); (d) repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms; (e) share-based compensation; (f) other tax (expense) income; (g) transaction expenses; (h) contract termination costs; and ~~(g)~~(i) severance expenses.

There are limitations to using financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA. For example, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named financial measures that other companies publish to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income or loss generated by our business or discretionary cash available for investment in our business and investors should carefully consider our U.S. GAAP results presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table presents segment owned net revenue and a reconciliation to total revenue for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020 ($ in thousands):

Note 16. Subsequent events

In preparing the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there were no subsequent events since ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

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

The following discussion and analysis of Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V.'s (“Playa”) financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (our “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Playa and its subsidiaries.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “may,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to various factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements, including the risks described under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021 and 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. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in our filings with the SEC. Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the adverse effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects, the airlines that service the locations where we own resorts, the short and longer-term demand for travel, the global economy and the local economies where we own resorts, and the financial markets. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced severely reduced occupancy levels at our resorts compared to historic levels and we continue to experience lower occupancy as compared to pre-pandemic levels. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact us and consumer behavior will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, continuing resurgences of the virus and its variants, including the Delta variant, the government actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the speed, effectiveness and distribution of vaccine (including boosters) and treatment therapies, the rate of public adoption of COVID-19 vaccines, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, including the magnitude of its impact on unemployment rates, labor-force availability (including as a result of vaccine mandates), and consumer discretionary spending, among others. Additional factors that could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements include:

•general economic uncertainty and the effect of general economic conditions on the lodging industry in particular;

•the popularity of the all-inclusive resort model, particularly in the luxury segment of the resort market;

•changes in economic, social or political conditions in the regions we operate, including changes in perception of public-safety and changes in the supply of rooms from competing resorts;

•the success and continuation of our relationships with Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”) ~~and~~, Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (“Hilton”), and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Wyndham”);

•the volatility of currency exchange rates;

•the success of our branding or rebranding initiatives with our current portfolio and resorts that may be acquired in the future;

•our failure to successfully complete acquisition, expansion, repair and renovation projects in the timeframes and at the costs and returns anticipated;

•changes we may make in timing and scope of our development and renovation projects;

•significant increases in construction and development costs;

•significant increases in utilities, labor or other resort costs;

•our ability to obtain and maintain financing arrangements on attractive terms or at all;

•our ability to obtain and maintain ample liquidity to fund operations and service debt;

2526

•the impact of and changes in governmental regulations or the enforcement thereof, tax laws and rates, accounting guidance and similar matters in regions in which we operate;

•the ability of our guests to reach our resorts given government mandated travel restrictions, as well as the demand for our resorts resulting from government mandated safety protocols and health concerns;

•the effectiveness of our internal controls and our corporate policies and procedures and the success and timing of the remediation efforts for the material weakness that we identified in our internal control over financial reporting;

•changes in personnel and availability of qualified personnel;

•environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;

•outbreak of widespread contagious diseases other than COVID-19;

•dependence on third parties to provide Internet, telecommunications and network connectivity to our data centers;

•the volatility of the market price and liquidity of our ordinary shares and other of our securities; and

•the increasingly competitive environment in which we operate.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this quarterly report, except as required by applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements).

Overview

Playa is a leading owner, operator and developer of all-inclusive resorts in prime beachfront locations in popular vacation destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, Playa owned and/or managed a total portfolio consisting of 22 resorts (8,366 rooms) located in Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. In Mexico, Playa owns and manages Hyatt Zilara Cancún, Hyatt Ziva Cancún, Panama Jack Resorts Cancún, Panama Jack Resorts Playa del Carmen, Hilton Playa del Carmen All-Inclusive Resort, Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta and Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos. In Jamaica, Playa owns and manages Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall, Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall, Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa, Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa, and Jewel Paradise Cove Beach Resort & Spa. In the Dominican Republic, Playa owns and manages the Hilton La Romana All-Inclusive Family Resort, the Hilton La Romana All-Inclusive Adult Resort, Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana and Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana. Playa owns two resorts in the Dominican Republic that are managed by a third-party and manages five resorts on behalf of third-party owners. Playa leverages years of all-inclusive resort operating expertise and relationships with globally recognized hospitality brands to provide a ~~best in class~~best-in-class experience and exceptional value to our guests, while building a direct relationship to improve customer acquisition cost and drive repeat business.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, during which time we had reduced occupancy as a result of the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we generated a net loss of ~~$7.8~~$12.4 million, total revenue of ~~$128.8~~$151.3 million, Net Package RevPAR of ~~$150.98,~~$184.19, and Adjusted EBITDA of ~~$22.9~~$31.8 million. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020, when ~~all~~several of our resorts were closed due to the ~~initial~~ outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and those that reopened had severely reduced occupancy, we generated a net loss of ~~$87.5~~$78.6 million, total revenue of ~~$1.0~~$28.7 million, Net Package RevPAR of ~~$0,~~$30.71, and Adjusted EBITDA of ~~$(31.4)~~($26.1) million.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had a significant adverse impact on the global economy, the travel and hospitality industries and our business starting in the first quarter of 2020. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including related government restrictions, border closings, quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders and “social distancing,” have significantly disrupted global leisure travel, and have adversely impacted global commercial activity, contributing to worldwide economic contraction and increased unemployment. We expect that the continuing fallout will create headwinds for global travel even after government restrictions are lifted.

Due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions placed on international travel, we temporarily suspended operations at all of our resorts in late March 2020. We subsequently began reopening our resorts on July 1, 2020 and all of our resorts are open as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Our resorts account for all of our revenue. Following the gradual loosening of government travel restrictions, the availability of vaccines and increased adoption levels of vaccines beginning in the first quarter of 2021, and related increases in available flights to the locations of our resorts, occupancy at our resorts has increased, but still remains well below pre-pandemic levels. Based on our second quarter results and reservations for future periods, we are hopeful that this positive trend in occupancy will continue.

The suspension of operations at our resorts during part of 2020, and the reduced occupancy at our resorts since they have reopened, have adversely affected our liquidity. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we had ~~$237.7~~$231.5 million of available cash, excluding ~~$25.6~~$24.6 million of restricted cash. For discussion of the measures that were previously taken to improve our liquidity during fiscal year 2020, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021. We have taken the following measures during the 2021 fiscal year to further mitigate the impact of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our liquidity position:

•raised $138.0 million, net of underwriting discounts, of additional capital in January 2021 through an underwritten public equity offering at $5.00 per share;

•paid down the outstanding balance under our Revolving Credit Facility in February 2021 and also amended and extended our existing facility, further extending the covenant waiver period were we to draw the credit line over 35%;

•sold the Dreams Puerto Aventuras in February 2021 for a total cash consideration of $34.5 million; and

•sold the Capri Resort in June 2021 for a total cash consideration of $55.2 million.

WeFollowing the gradual loosening of government travel restrictions, the increased availability and adoption of vaccines, and increases in available flights to the locations of our resorts, our occupancy and operating results have improved during the first nine months of 2021, although they still remain well below pre-pandemic levels. However, with the trends reflected in our third quarter results, our reservations for future periods and expected increases in flight capacity into our destinations, we are hopeful that our business will continue to recover.

However, we cannot predict when the pandemic and its economic effects will subside, and thus we cannot predict whether our resorts will be permitted to remain open or when our business will return to normalized levels. There also can be no guarantee that when the current pandemic subsides that there will not be resurgences of the virus or its variants or that the demand for lodging, and consumer confidence in travel generally, will recover as quickly as other industries. The longer and more severe the pandemic, and the actual occurrence or even the possibility of repeat or cyclical outbreaks of the virus beyond the one currently being experienced, the greater the material adverse effect the pandemic will have on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, access to credit markets and ability to service our indebtedness.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 increased ~~$8.8~~$9.1 million, or ~~44.6%~~39.7%, compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. The ~~resumption of resort operations~~higher occupancy levels at our resorts this quarter as compared to the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 ~~(during which time all of our resorts were closed)~~ resulted in a ~~$6.3~~$7.1 million increase in advertising, marketing and commissions expenses, a $2.1 million increase in credit card commissions, and a ~~$1.2~~$0.5 million increase in corporate personnel ~~expenses.~~costs. Additionally, our January 2021 grants of restricted and performance share awards (see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) drove a ~~$0.7~~$1.3 million increase in share-based compensation expense over the prior ~~period.~~quarter. These increases were partially offset by a ~~$1.2~~$2.3 million decrease in ~~insurance expenses~~our provision for doubtful accounts due to the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Our depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased $2.6 million, or 11.5%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. This was mainly a result of a $0.6 million decrease due to the sale of the Dreams Puerto Aventuras in February 2021 and a $1.0 million decrease due to the sale of the Capri Resort in June 2021.

Impairment Loss

Our impairment loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased $0.9 million, or 100.0%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease resulted from the correction of an immaterial error for acquired property and equipment from the business combination with Sagicor in 2018 recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased $0.9 million, or 4.6%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by a $0.7 million reduction from the repayment of our outstanding Revolving Credit Facility balance in February 2021.

Cash interest paid was $19.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing a $0.1 million decrease as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. Cash interest paid on our Revolving Credit Facility decreased $0.7 million from the repayment of our outstanding balance in February 2021. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.7 million increase for interest on the Property Loan, which was executed on June 12, 2020 and incurred only a partial month of interest for its July 2020 interest payment.

Income Tax Provision

Our income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased $3.9 million, or 74.3%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in our income tax provision of $3.9 million was driven byprimarily by:

•$20.9 million decreased tax expense related to valuation allowances recognized for our Jamaica and Mexico entities;

•$0.9 million decreased tax expense related to prior year adjustments;

•$0.3 million decreased discrete tax expense due to deferred tax liabilities on fixed assets of certain Dominican Republic entities; and

•$0.5 million decreased tax expense related to other miscellaneous items.

These decreases were partially offset by:

•$15.5 million increased tax expense due to lower pre-tax book losses from our taxpaying entities;

•$1.7 million decreased tax benefit related to the 2020 sales of the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & ~~Waterpark in May 2020.~~

~~Depreciation and Amortization Expense~~

Our depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $2.4 million, or 10.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. This was a result of a $2.1 million decrease due to the sales of the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark in May 2020, the Dreams Puerto Aventuras in February 2021, and the Capri Resort in June 2021.

~~Impairment Loss~~

Our impairment loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $25.3 million, or 100.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was driven by $25.3 million of property and equipment impairment recognized upon classification of the Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark and Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa as held for sale during the three months ended June 30, 2020. We had no property and equipment or goodwill impairment losses during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

~~Interest Expense~~

Our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $2.0 million, or 9.4%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by a $7.0 million decrease due to the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps. Due to the significant drop in interest rates during 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we recognized a non-cash loss on our interest rate swaps of $5.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a non-cash gain on our interest rate swaps of $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. These decreases were partially offset by additional interest expense from the Additional Senior Secured Credit Facility and Property Loan Agreement executed on June 12, 2020 by $1.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Cash interest paid increased to $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, representing a $5.0 million increase over the period. Cash interest paid increased due to the Additional Senior Secured Credit Facility and Property Loan Agreement executed on June 12, 2020 by $2.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by $0.8 million decrease due to the repayment of our outstanding Revolving Credit Facility balance in February 2021.

~~Income Tax Benefit~~

Our income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $2.2 million, or 15.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in our income tax benefit of $2.2 million was driven primarily by:

•~~a $1.1 million decreased tax benefit due to lower pre-tax book losses from our tax paying entities;~~

•~~a $0.6 million decreased discrete tax benefit due to deferred tax liabilities on fixed assets of certain Dominican Republic entities;~~

•~~a $0.7 million increased tax expense related to valuation allowances recognized for our Jamaica and Mexico entities;~~Waterpark; and

•~~a $5.8 million decreased tax benefit related to the sales of the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark.~~

~~These decreases were partially offset by:~~

•~~a $4.4~~$1.5 million increased tax ~~benefit associated with the sale of the Capri Resort; and~~

•~~a $1.6 million increased tax benefit~~expense associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily for our Mexican entities.

Net Direct Expenses for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 increased ~~$21.2~~$73.5 million, or ~~18.8%~~49.7%, compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. Net Direct Expenses at our comparable properties increased ~~$27.7~~$86.7 million, or ~~26.8%~~65.9%, compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020 due to the resumption of ~~resort~~ operations ~~this~~during the entire year as compared to the ~~second quarter of~~nine months

ended September 30, 2020 ~~(during which time~~when we had closures and reduced occupancy at all of our resorts ~~were closed).~~during the second and third quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase was also a result of a higher rate of inflation as compared to the same period in 2020. See “Inflation” below. Direct operating expenses fluctuate based on various factors, including changes in occupancy, labor

costs, utilities, repair and maintenance costs and license and property taxes. Management fees and franchise fees, which are generally computed as a percentage of revenue, increase or decrease as a result of changes in revenues.

Net Direct Expenses consists of the following items ($ in thousands):

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 ~~decreased $0.4~~increased $8.8 million, or ~~0.7%~~11.4%, compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. The ~~decrease~~increase was primarily driven by an $8.4 million increase in advertising, marketing and commissions expenses, a ~~$1.2~~$3.7 million ~~decrease~~increase in ~~professional fees~~credit card commissions, and a ~~$1.2~~$0.7 million increase in corporate personnel costs. These increases were partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease in insurance expenses, which primarily resulted from

the sales of the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark in May ~~2020. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in advertising and commissions~~2020, and a ~~$0.2~~$2.3 million ~~increase~~decrease in ~~corporate personnel expenses~~our provision for doubtful accounts due to the ~~resumption of resort operations this year as compared to~~ongoing recovery from the ~~second quarter of 2020 (during which time all of our resorts were closed).~~

COVID-19 pandemic.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Our depreciation and amortization expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 decreased ~~$6.5~~$9.1 million, or ~~13.6%~~13.0%, compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. The decrease was largely due to a ~~$4.4~~$5.9 million decrease from our dispositions of the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark in May 2020, the Dreams Puerto Aventuras in February 2021, and the Capri Resort in June 2021, and a ~~$2.2~~$1.8 million decrease due to accelerated depreciation incurred in 2020 related to the completion of renovation projects at the Hilton Playa del Carmen All-Inclusive Resort.

Impairment Loss

Our impairment loss for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 decreased ~~$17.4~~$18.3 million, or ~~42.1%~~43.2%, compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. The decrease was driven by $25.3 million of property and equipment impairment recognized during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020 upon classification of the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark as held for sale. In addition, we recognized aan aggregate $16.2 million goodwill impairment loss during the first quarter of 2020 at the Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark, Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa, and Jewel Paradise Cove Beach Resort & Spa due to the decrease in forecasted future cash flows from the temporary suspension of operations from COVID-19. These decreases were partially offset by $24.0 million of property and equipment impairment for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 recognized upon classification of the Capri Resort as held for sale in March 2021.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 decreased ~~$4.8~~$5.7 million, or ~~11.4%~~9.2%, compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was driven primarily by a ~~$16.0~~$16.1 million decrease due to the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps. In March 2019, we elected to adopt hedge accounting and designate our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. After the adoption of hedge accounting, we recorded the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps through other comprehensive income (loss). Due to the significant drop in interest rates during 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, our cash flow hedge was deemed ineffective ~~and dedesignated~~ in March 2020, resulting in us recognizing losses on the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps through interest expense. In addition, interest on our Revolving Credit Facility for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 decreased by ~~$1.2~~$1.9 million compared to the same period last year, driven by the repayment of the entire outstanding balance in February 2021. These decreases were partially offset by additional interest expense from the Additional Senior Secured Credit Facility and Property Loan ~~Agreement~~ executed on June 12, 2020 ~~by $3.9~~of $4.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively, ~~as well as~~ additional interest expense on our Term Loan of ~~$3.9~~$1.7 million, as well as additional discount accretion and financing costs of $1.4 million.

Cash interest paid ~~increased to $38.7~~was $58.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, representing a $9.7 million increase as compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2020, representing a $9.8 million increase over the prior period.~~2020. Cash interest paid increased due to the Additional Senior Secured Credit Facility and Property Loan ~~Agreement~~ executed on June 12, 2020 by ~~$4.4~~$4.3 million and ~~$4.3~~$4.9 million, respectively.

Income Tax Benefit

Our income tax benefit for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 increased ~~$0.9~~$4.8 million, or ~~6.4%~~58.3%, compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. The increase in our income tax benefit was mainly driven by:

•~~a $2.3~~$17.2 million increased tax benefit ~~due~~related to ~~higher pre-tax book losses from~~valuation allowances recognized for our ~~tax paying~~Jamaica and Mexico entities;

•~~an $8.3~~$8.4 million increased tax benefit associated with the 2021 sale of the Capri Resort; ~~and~~

•~~a $7.3~~$5.8 million increased tax benefit associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily for our Mexican ~~entities.~~entities;

•$0.9 million increased tax benefit related to prior year adjustments; and

•$0.8 million increased tax benefit related to other miscellaneous items.

These increases were partially offset by:

•~~a $3.7~~$13.2 million increased tax expense ~~related~~due to ~~valuation allowances recognized for~~lower pre-tax book losses from our ~~Jamaica and Mexico~~taxpaying entities;

•~~a $3.9~~$7.5 million decreased income tax benefit related to the 2020 sales of the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark;

Key Indicators of Financial and Operating Performance

We use a variety of financial and other information to monitor the financial and operating performance of our business. Some of this is financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, while other information, though financial in nature, is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, see “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures.” Our management also uses other information that is not financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data that are commonly used within the lodging industry to evaluate the financial and operating performance of our portfolio. Our management uses this information to measure the performance of our segments and consolidated portfolio. We use this information for planning and monitoring our business, as well as in determining management and employee compensation. These key indicators include:

•Net Package Revenue

•Net Non-package Revenue

•Owned Net Revenue

•Management Fee Revenue

•Total Net Revenue

•Occupancy

•Net Package ADR

•Net Package RevPAR

•Adjusted EBITDA

•Adjusted EBITDA Margin

•Owned Resort EBITDA

•Owned Resort EBITDA Margin

•Comparable Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue, Owned Net Revenue, Management Fee Revenue, Cost Reimbursements, Total Net Revenue and Net Direct Expenses

“Net Package Revenue” is derived from the sale of all-inclusive packages, which include room accommodations, food and beverage services and entertainment activities, net of compulsory tips paid to employees. Government mandated compulsory tips in the Dominican Republic are not included in this adjustment, as they are already excluded from revenue. Revenue is recognized, net of discounts and rebates, when the rooms are occupied and/or the relevant services have been rendered. Advance deposits received from guests are deferred and included in trade and other payables until the rooms are occupied and/or the relevant services have been rendered, at which point the revenue is recognized.

“Net Non-package Revenue” represents all other revenues earned from the operations of our resorts, other than Net Package Revenue, net of compulsory tips paid to employees. Government mandated compulsory tips in the Dominican Republic are not included in this adjustment, as they are already excluded from revenue. Net Non-package Revenue includes revenue associated with guests' purchases of upgrades, premium services and amenities, such as premium rooms, dining experiences, wines and spirits and spa packages, which are not included in the all-inclusive package. Revenue not included in a guest’s all-inclusive package is recognized when the goods are consumed.

“Owned Net Revenue” represents Net Package Revenue and Net Non-package Revenue. Owned Net Revenue represents a key indicator to assess the overall performance of our business and analyze trends, such as consumer demand, brand preference and competition. In analyzing our Owned Net Revenues, our management differentiates between Net Package Revenue and Net Non-package Revenue. Guests at our resorts purchase packages at stated rates, which include room accommodations, food and beverage services and entertainment activities, in contrast to other lodging business models, which typically only include the room accommodations in the stated rate. The amenities at all-inclusive resorts typically include a variety of buffet and á la carte restaurants, bars, activities, and shows and entertainment throughout the day.

“Management Fee Revenue” is derived from fees earned for managing resorts owned by third-parties. The fees earned are typically composed of a base fee, which is computed as a percentage of revenue, and an incentive fee, which is computed as a percentage of profitability. Management Fee Revenue had a minor contribution to our operating results for the three and ~~six~~nine months

ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, but we expect Management Fee Revenue to be a more relevant indicator to assess the overall performance of our business in the future as we enter into more management contracts.

“Total Net Revenue” represents Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue and Management Fee Revenue. “Cost Reimbursements” is excluded from Total Net Revenue as it is not considered a key indicator of financial and operating performance. Cost Reimbursements is derived from the reimbursement of certain costs incurred by Playa on behalf of resorts managed by Playa and owned by third parties. This revenue is fully offset by reimbursable costs and has no net impact on operating ~~loss~~income (loss) or net loss.

“Net Direct Expenses” represents direct expenses, net of compulsory tips paid to employees.

Occupancy

“Occupancy” represents the total number of rooms sold for a period divided by the total number of rooms available during such period. The total number of rooms available excludes any rooms considered “Out of Order” due to renovation or a temporary problem rendering them inadequate for occupancy for an extended period of time. Occupancy is a useful measure of the utilization of a resort’s total available capacity and can be used to gauge demand at a specific resort or group of properties during a given period. Occupancy levels also enable us to optimize Net Package ADR by increasing or decreasing the stated rate for our all-inclusive packages as demand for a resort increases or decreases.

Net Package ADR

“Net Package ADR” represents total Net Package Revenue for a period divided by the total number of rooms sold during such period. Net Package ADR trends and patterns provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the guest base of our portfolio or comparable portfolio, as applicable. Net Package ADR is a commonly used performance measure in the all-inclusive segment of the lodging industry and is commonly used to assess the stated rates that guests are willing to pay through various distribution channels.

Net Package RevPAR

“Net Package RevPAR” is the product of Net Package ADR and the average daily occupancy percentage. Net Package RevPAR does not reflect the impact of non-package revenue. Although Net Package RevPAR does not include this additional revenue, it generally is considered the key performance measure in the all-inclusive segment of the lodging industry to identify trend information with respect to net room revenue produced by our portfolio or comparable portfolio, as applicable, and to evaluate operating performance on a consolidated basis or a regional basis, as applicable.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Owned Resort EBITDA, and Owned Resort EBITDA Margin

We define EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the period presented, before interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude the following items:

•Other income or expense

•Pre-opening expense

•Transaction expenses

•Severance expense

•Other tax expense

•Gain on property damage insurance proceeds

•Share-based compensation

•Loss on extinguishment of debt

•Other items, which may include but are not limited to the following: ~~management~~ contract termination fees; gains or losses from legal settlements; repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms and impairment losses.

We include the non-service cost components of net periodic pension cost or benefit recorded within other income or expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in calculating Adjusted EBITDA as they are considered part of our ongoing resort operations.

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Net Revenue.

“Owned Resort EBITDA” represents Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expenses and Management Fee Revenue.

“Owned Resort EBITDA Margin” represents Owned Resort EBITDA as a percentage of Owned Net Revenue.

Usefulness and Limitation of Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

We believe that each of Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue, Owned Net Revenue, Total Net Revenue, Net Package ADR, Net Package RevPAR and Net Direct Expenses are useful to investors as they reflect our operating results by excluding compulsory tips. These tips have a margin of zero and do not represent our operating results.

We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors for two principal reasons. First, we believe Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. For example, changes in foreign exchange rates (which are the principal driver of changes in other income or expense), and expenses related to capital raising, strategic initiatives and other corporate initiatives, such as expansion into new markets (which are the principal drivers of changes in transaction expenses), are not indicative of the operating performance of our resorts. The other adjustments included in our definition of Adjusted EBITDA relate to items that occur infrequently and therefore would obstruct the comparability of our operating results over reporting periods. For example, revenue from insurance policies, other than business interruption insurance policies, is infrequent in nature, and we believe excluding these expense and revenue items permits investors to better evaluate the core operating performance of our resorts over time. We believe Adjusted EBITDA Margin provides our investors a useful measurement of operating profitability for the same reasons we find Adjusted EBITDA useful.

The second principal reason that we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors is that it is considered a key performance indicator by our board of directors (our “Board”) and management. In addition, the compensation committee of our Board determines the annual variable compensation for certain members of our management based, in part, on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides investors with information utilized by our Board and management to assess our performance and may (subject to the limitations described below) enable investors to compare the performance of our portfolio to our competitors.

Our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for revenue, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are limitations to the utility of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA. For example, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that other companies publish to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a measure of the income or loss generated by our business or discretionary cash available for investment in our business, and investors should carefully consider our U.S. GAAP results presented.

For a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA to net income or loss as computed under U.S. GAAP, see “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures.”

Comparable Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Total Net Revenue, Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue and Net Direct Expenses on a comparable basis is useful to investors because these measures include only the results of resorts owned and in operation for the entirety of the periods presented and thereby eliminate disparities in results due to the acquisition or disposition of resorts or the impact of resort closures or re-openings in connection with redevelopment or renovation projects. As a result, we believe these measures provide more consistent metrics for comparing the performance of our operating resorts. We calculate comparable Adjusted EBITDA, comparable Total Net Revenue, comparable Net Package Revenue and comparable Net Non-package Revenue as the total amount of each respective measure less amounts attributable to non-comparable resorts, by which we mean resorts that were not owned or in operation during some or all of the relevant reporting period.

Our comparable resorts for the ~~three and six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 exclude the following resorts: ~~Capri Resort, which was sold in June 2021, Dreams Puerto Aventuras, which was sold in February 2021, and~~ Jewel ~~Dunn’s~~Dunn's River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark, which were sold in May ~~2020.~~2020, Dreams Puerto Aventuras, which was sold in February 2021 and Capri Resort, which was sold in June 2021.

A reconciliation of net income or loss as computed under U.S. GAAP to comparable Adjusted EBITDA is presented in “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures,” below. For a reconciliation of Comparable Net Package Revenue, Comparable Net Non-package

Revenue, Comparable Management Fee Revenue and Comparable Total Net Revenue to total revenue as computed under U.S. GAAP, see “Results of Operations.”

________

(a) Represents changes in foreign exchange rates and other miscellaneous expenses or income.

(b) Represents expenses incurred in connection with corporate initiatives, such as: debt refinancing costs; other capital raising efforts; and strategic initiatives, such as the launch of a new resort or possible expansion into new markets.

(d) Relates primarily to a Dominican Republic asset/revenue tax, which is an alternative tax to income tax in the Dominican Republic. We eliminate this expense from Adjusted EBITDA because it is substantially similar to the income tax provision or benefit we eliminate from our calculation of EBITDA.

(e) Represents the non-service cost components of net periodic pension benefit (cost) ~~benefit~~ recorded within other (expense) income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We include these for ~~the~~ purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA as they are considered part of our ongoing resort operations.

(f) Comparable resorts for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 exclude the following: Capri Resort, which was sold in June 2021 and Dreams Puerto Aventuras, which was sold in February 2021, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also exclude the Jewel ~~Dunn’s~~Dunn's River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark, which were sold in May 2020.

Seasonality

The seasonality of the lodging industry and the location of our resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean generally result in the greatest demand for our resorts between mid-December and April of each year, yielding higher occupancy levels and package rates during this period. This seasonality in demand has resulted in predictable fluctuations in revenue, results of operations, and liquidity, which are consistently higher during the first quarter of each year than in successive quarters.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic has altered this seasonal trend in 2020 and ~~2021.~~2021 and Net Package ADR was particularly strong during the second and third quarters of 2021 in comparison to prior years. See “Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic” above for more information regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations.

Inflation

~~Inflation has increased recently. Operators~~We have experienced a higher rate of inflation as compared to the same period in 2020 with respect to our direct resort expenses, particularly labor expenses, utilities, and food and beverage costs. While we, like most operators of lodging properties, ~~in general, possess~~have the ability

to adjust room rates to reflect the effects of ~~inflation. However,~~inflation, competitive pricing pressures ~~in addition to~~and the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may limit our ability to raise room rates to fully offset inflationary cost increases. See “Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic” above for more information regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The suspension of operations at all of our resorts from late March 2020 through July 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the severely reduced occupancy we experienced upon reopening the resorts and the reduced occupancy levels we continue to experience, have adversely affected our liquidity.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we had ~~$237.7~~$231.5 million of available cash, excluding restricted cash, up from $146.9 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase in available cash was primarily attributable to the net cash proceeds from our equity raise of $137.7 million, the sale of the Dreams Puerto Aventuras for $34.3 million and the sale of the Capri Resort for $55.2 million, which were partially offset by the repayment of our outstanding Revolving Credit Facility balance of $84.7 million and the Term Loan and Term A3 Loan principal ~~repayment~~repayments of ~~$24.4~~$25.1 million.

Our primary short-term cash needs are paying operating expenses, maintaining our resorts, and servicing our outstanding indebtedness. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we had ~~$45.5~~$22.3 million of scheduled contractual obligations remaining in 2021. We have deferred substantially all major development, expansion, renovation, repositioning and rebranding projects, with timing subject to the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the pace at which our business returns to more normalized levels.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through our existing cash balances, equity issuances or short-term borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we had $85.0 million available on our Revolving Credit Facility, of which $68.0 million does not mature until January 2024.

Long-term liquidity needs may include property developments, expansions, renovations, repositioning and rebranding projects, potential acquisitions and the repayment of indebtedness. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, our total debt obligations were ~~$1,153.2~~$1,149.9 million (which represents the principal amounts outstanding under Term Loans, Property Loan and ~~financing~~finance lease obligations, excluding ~~$4.9~~$4.6 million of issuance discounts and ~~$9.1~~$8.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs). We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements generally through the sources available for short-term needs, as well as equity or debt issuances or proceeds from the potential disposal of assets.

We are continuing to monitor our liquidity and we may pursue additional sources of liquidity as needed. The availability of additional liquidity options will depend on the economic and financial environment, our credit, our historical and projected financial and operating performance and continued compliance with financial covenants. If operating conditions do not improve, whether as a result of the current pandemic or a resurgence thereof or for other reasons, we may not be able to maintain our current liquidity position or access additional sources of liquidity at acceptable terms or at all.

Financing Strategy

We intend to use other financing sources that may be available to us from time to time, including financing from banks, institutional investors or other lenders, such as bridge loans, letters of credit, joint ventures and other arrangements. Future financings may be unsecured or may be secured by mortgages or other interests in our assets. In addition, we may issue publicly or privately placed debt or equity securities. When possible and desirable, we will seek to replace short-term financing with long-term financing. We may use the proceeds from any financings to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance resort projects or acquisitions or for general working capital or other purposes.

Our indebtedness may be recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized and may be fixed rate or variable rate. If the indebtedness is non-recourse, the obligation to repay such indebtedness will generally be limited to the particular resort or resorts pledged to secure such indebtedness. In addition, we may invest in resorts subject to existing loans secured by mortgages or similar liens on the resorts or may refinance resorts acquired on a leveraged basis.

Net Cash Provided by or Used in Operating Activities

Our net cash (used in) provided by operating activities is generated primarily from operating loss or income from our resorts. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, our net cash used in operating activities was ~~$13.6~~$14.0 million. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020, our net cash used in operating activities was ~~$28.4~~$60.6 million.

•Net loss of ~~$77.5~~$89.9 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 included significant non-cash income and expenses, including ~~$40.9~~$60.8 million of depreciation and amortization, $24.0 million of impairment losses, ~~$6.6~~and $9.9 million of share-based compensation, ~~and~~offset by a ~~$4.6~~$6.4 million gain on the fair value of our interest rate swaps ~~offset~~and by changes in our assets and liabilities through the normal course of operations.

•Net loss of ~~$110.0~~$188.6 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020 included significant non-cash expenses, including ~~$47.4~~$69.9 million of depreciation and amortization, ~~$41.4~~$42.3 million of goodwill impairment losses, ~~$5.9~~$7.9 million of share based compensation, and a ~~$11.4~~$9.7 million loss on the fair value of our interest rates swaps, offset by changes in our assets and liabilities through the normal course of operations.

Net Cash Provided by or Used in Investing Activities

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, our net cash provided by investing activities was ~~$80.6~~$77.0 million. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020, our net cash provided by investing activities was ~~$58.9~~$37.7 million.

Activity for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021:

•Net proceeds from the sale of assets of ~~$89.1~~$88.9 million; and

•Purchases of property and equipment of ~~$8.4~~$11.7 million.

Activity for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020:

•Net proceeds from the sale of assets of $58.5 million;

•Purchases of property and equipment of ~~$7.4~~$28.8 million;

◦Includes $18.1 million in payments for prior year non-cash purchases of property and equipment;

•Purchases of intangible assets of ~~$0.3 million;~~

•~~Proceeds from the sale of assets of $58.1~~$0.5 million; and

•Receipt of key money of $8.5 million.

Capital Expenditures

We maintain each of our properties in good repair and condition and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations, franchise and license agreements and management agreements. Capital expenditures made to extend the service life or increase the capacity of our assets, including expenditures for the replacement, improvement or expansion of existing capital assets (i.e., maintenance capital expenditures), differ from ongoing repair and maintenance expense items, which do not in our judgment extend the service life or increase the capacity of assets and are charged to expense as incurred. We have approval rights over capital expenditures made by our third-party manager as part of the annual budget process for each property they manage. From time to time, certain of our resorts may be undergoing renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the resorts, such as guestrooms, public space, meeting space, gyms, spas and/or restaurants, in order to better compete with other resorts in our markets. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our liquidity, we deferred all non-critical capital expenditures for the remainder of the year.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

Playa Resorts Holding B.V., a subsidiary of ours, holds a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, which consists of a term loan facility which is scheduled to mature on April 27, 2024 (“Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility, a portion of which is scheduled to mature on April 27, 2022 and a portion of which is scheduled to mature on January 27, 2024 (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.75% (where the applicable LIBOR rate has a 1.0% floor). The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% with respect to the portion maturing in April 2022, and LIBOR plus 4.00% with respect to the portion maturing January 2024. We are required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.5% per annum on the average daily undrawn balance of the Revolving Credit Facility.

The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by (a) substantially all of our material subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and (b) the Company on a limited recourse basis, with such guaranty being collateralized by a lien on our ordinary shares.

The obligations are further collateralized by, among other things, a lien on (i) all resorts located in Mexico, (ii) certain personal property associated with such resort properties and (iii) pledges of equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries that directly or indirectly own equity interests in any resort property or certain management companies.

Additional Credit Facility

On June 12, 2020, we entered into an additional senior secured credit facility with an average interest rate of 9.25% that matures on April 27, 2024 and ranks pari passu with the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Additional Credit Facility”). The Additional Credit Facility consists of the following term loans:

i.$35.0 million term loan at fixed rate of 11.4777% (the “Term A1 Loan”);

ii.$31.0 million term loan at fixed rate of 11.4777% (the “Term A2 Loan”); and

iii.$28.0 million term loan at our option of either a base rate plus a margin of 2.00% or LIBOR plus 3.00% (the “Term A3 Loan”). Term A3 Loan is subject to a 1.0% floor consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement.

We have used and intend to use the proceeds from the Additional Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. The obligations under the Additional Credit Facility are collateralized in a manner that is substantially identical to the Existing Credit Agreement.

Prior to the maturity date, the Additional Credit Facility does not require principal payments, but does include mandatory repayment requirements for the Term A3 Loan that are consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement. Mandatory repayments are

required for certain asset sales, casualty events and condemnation events that are not reinvested in our business where our total net leverage ratio is above 4.00x. We may not voluntarily prepay any portion of the Additional Credit Facility prior to June 2023 without paying a make-whole premium equal to 100% of the interest that would have otherwise accrued from the date of such payment through June 2022 plus 50% of the interest that otherwise would have accrued from June 2022 to June 2023. Subsequent to June 2023, we may prepay any portion of the Additional Credit Facility without penalty.

In connection with the Additional Credit Facility, we terminated the remaining $15.0 million of unused capacity of our Revolving Credit Facility under the Existing Credit Agreement. The Additional Credit Facility contains covenants (including a springing financial maintenance covenant) identical to those contained in the Existing Credit Agreement.

Property Loan Agreement

On June 12, 2020, we entered into a property loan agreement in the amount of $110.0 million that has a fixed interest rate of 9.25% and matures on July 1, 2025 (the “Property Loan”). Prior to maturity, the Property Loan does not require principal payments. The Property Loan is collateralized by the mortgages of our Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana properties located in the Dominican Republic and the Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa located in Jamaica (collectively the “Properties”). We intend to use the proceeds of the Property Loan to finance the operation and management of the Properties and for general corporate purposes. We may not voluntarily prepay any portion of the Property Loan prior to July 1, 2023 without paying a make-whole premium equal to 100% of the amount of interest that would have otherwise accrued from the date of such payment through July 1, 2022 plus 50% of the interest that otherwise would have accrued from the prepayment date to July 1, 2023. Subsequent to July 2023, we may prepay any portion of the Property Loan without penalty.

During the term of the Property Loan, we are required to deposit certain cash reserves including reserves for operating expenses, debt service and certain property improvement plan required work. We will continue to fund the reserves until the Properties achieve a debt service coverage ratio of 1.50x for two consecutive calendar quarters. These reserves are presented as restricted cash on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which had a balance of ~~$25.6~~$24.6 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Contractual Obligations

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, there have been no significant changes to our “Contractual Obligations” table in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report, other than the change in our debt and related repayment requirements described below.

Our total debt decreased ~~$114.1~~$117.4 million, from $1,267.3 million as of December 31, 2020 to ~~$1,153.2~~$1,149.9 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. This decrease was driven by the repayment of the $84.7 million balance previously outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility in February 2021 and the $24.4 million repayment on our Term Loan as a result of the sale of the Capri Resort in June 2021. In accordance with our Existing Credit Agreement, we utilized 50% of the Capri Resort's net proceeds ~~from the sale~~ of $24.4 million, after deducting incremental expenses, to repay our Term Loan on June 29, 2021. The remaining decrease was a result of our quarterly principal payments on our Term Loan totaling $7.6 million.

Additionally, in connection with the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement and Second Amendment, we are required to use the net proceeds from the sale of assets, subject to certain exceptions, including for ~~customary~~ reinvestment rights, to repay the proportionate balance on our Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term A3 Loan if our net leverage ratio is above 4.00x. In May 2022 and February 2023, we anticipate that we will repay the net proceeds, after taking into account certain investments made in accordance with our ~~customary~~ reinvestment rights, from the sales of the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark of ~~$24.0~~$23.3 million and the Dreams Puerto Aventuras of ~~$9.5~~$8.1 million, respectively, which include incremental transaction costs and capital expenditures incurred across our portfolio leading up to the repayment date. In December 2022, we expect to repay the remaining 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of the Capri Resort of $23.7 million~~$24.4 million.~~.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off balance sheet arrangements for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. A number of our significant accounting policies are critical due to the fact that they require us to exercise a higher degree of judgment and estimation based on assumptions that are inherently uncertain. While we believe our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions, which could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have increased uncertainty, which has reduced our ability to use past results to estimate future performance. Accordingly, our estimates and judgments may be subject to greater volatility than has been the case in the past.

We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our Consolidated Financial Statements included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them except for those disclosed in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts receivable from related parties, certain prepayments and other assets, trade and other payables, payables to related parties, derivative financial instruments, other liabilities including our pension obligation and debt (excluding the ~~financing~~finance lease obligation). SeeNote 13, “Fair value of financial instruments,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Related Party Transactions

See Note 6, “Related party transactions,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on these transactions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See the recent accounting pronouncements in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

In the normal course of operations, we are exposed to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk which may impact future income and cash flows.

Interest ~~Rate Risk~~rate risk

The risk from market interest rate fluctuations mainly affects long-term debt bearing interest at a variable interest rate. We currently use an interest rate swap (see Note 12 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) to manage exposure to this risk. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, 15% of our outstanding indebtedness bore interest at floating rates and 85% bore interest at fixed rates. If market rates of interest on our floating rate debt were to increase by 1.0%, the increase in interest expense on our floating rate debt would decrease our future earnings and cash flows by approximately ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million annually, assuming the balance outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility remained at $0 million. If market rates of interest on our floating rate debt were to decrease by 1.0%, there would be no impact on our floating rate debt or our future earnings and cash flows, assuming the balance outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility remained at $0 million and the current LIBOR rate on our floating rate debt could not fall below the existing 1.0% LIBOR floor.

Foreign ~~Currency Risk~~currency risk

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations because all of our resort investments are based in locations where the local currency is not the U.S. dollar, which is our reporting currency. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 approximately ~~3.2%~~3.3% of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, our revenues reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are affected by movements in exchange rates.

Approximately ~~84%~~84.6% of our operating expenses for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 were denominated in the local currencies in the countries in which we operate. As a result, our operating expenses reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are affected by movements in exchange rates.

The foreign currencies in which our expenses are primarily denominated are the Mexican Peso, Dominican Peso and the Jamaican Dollar. The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Mexican Peso-denominated expenses at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 would have impacted our net income before tax by approximately $5.7 million on a year-to-date basis. The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Dominican Peso-denominated expenses at September 30, 2021 would have impacted our net income before tax by approximately $3.5 million on a year-to-date basis. The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on ~~Dominican Peso-denominated~~Jamaican Dollar-denominated expenses at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 would have impacted our net income before tax by approximately $2.0 million on a year-to-date basis. The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Jamaican Dollar-denominated expenses at June 30, 2021 would have impacted our net income before tax by approximately $1.6$2.6 million on a year-to-date basis.

At this time, we do not have any outstanding derivatives or other financial instruments designed to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that ongoing evaluation, including the remedial actions and the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2020. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We previously reported the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2020, which has not been remediated as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021:

•The control activities related to our income tax provision did not operate with a level of precision that would identify a material misstatement (the “Tax Weakness”).

In connection with our efforts to remediate the Tax Weakness, we identified errors in our previously disclosed deferred tax liabilities for one of our Dominican Republic entities during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. We concluded that these errors were not material to any prior annual or interim periods and corrected the errors for all prior periods presented by revising the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information included herein. The adjustments had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all prior periods presented.

We have initiated and implemented measures designed to improve our internal controls processes and procedures related to income tax accounting. As a result of these efforts, we believe we are making progress toward remediating the underlying causes of the material weakness. Specifically, we hired additional resources and are in the process of developing and implementing enhanced

policies, procedures and controls relating to income tax account reconciliations and analysis, including enhancing our documentation to reflect the control attributes that are performed and enhancing the precision of the control.

However, effectiveness will need to be successfully tested over several quarters before we can conclude that the Tax Weakness has been remediated. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in making these improvements and in remediating our current material weakness in a timely manner, or at all, and we may not prevent future material weaknesses from occurring.

Under Dutch law and the Company’s Articles of Association, if a shareholder is interested in submitting a proposed agenda item or a proposed resolution within the authority of shareholders to be presented at the 2022 AGM, the shareholder must fulfill the requirements set forth in Dutch law and the Company’s Articles of Association, including satisfying both of the following criteria:

•the Company must receive the proposed agenda item (supported by reasons) or proposed resolution in writing or by electronic means no later than 60 days before the date of the 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders (March 13, 2022); and

•the number of shares held by the shareholder, or group of shareholders, submitting the proposed agenda item or proposed resolution represent at least 3% of the Company’s issued share capital.

Under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, if shareholders intend to request that an item be put on the agenda as described above that may result in a change in the Company’s strategy, for example as a result of the dismissal of one or several Board members, the Board should be given the opportunity to invoke a reasonable period of up to 180 days during which to respond to such request. If invoked, the Board should use the response time for further deliberation and constructive consultation, in any event with the relevant shareholder(s) requesting the agenda item, and the Board should explore the alternatives. At the end of the response time, the Board should report on this consultation and the exploration to the shareholders meeting. A response time may be stipulated only once for

5759

any given shareholders meeting and should not apply to an item in respect of which the response time had been previously stipulated, or to meetings where a shareholder holds at least 75% of the issued capital as a consequence of a successful public bid.

In addition, because the date of the AGM has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the 2021 annual general meeting of shareholders, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a new deadline will apply for the receipt of any shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2022 AGM. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8(e)(2) under the Exchange Act, such proposals must be received on or before the close of business on December 20, 2021, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials for the 2022 AGM, as such date is approximately 120 calendar days prior to when the Company anticipates printing and distributing its proxy materials for the 2022 AGM. Such proposals must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 and Dutch law in order to be considered for inclusion in the 2022 proxy statement and proxy.
