NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively "Hyatt Hotels Corporation") has offerings that consist of full services hotels, select service hotels, all-inclusive resorts, and other forms of residential, vacation ownership, and condominium units. We also offer travel distribution and destination management services through ALG Vacations ("ALG Vacations") and a paid membership program through the Unlimited Vacation Club. At March 31, 2022, (i) we operated or franchised 519 full service hotels, comprising 171,823 rooms throughout the world, (ii) we operated or franchised 542 select service hotels, comprising 78,419 rooms, of which 445 hotels are located in the United States, and (iii) we operated, franchised, or marketed 111 all-inclusive resorts, comprising 36,152 rooms. At March 31, 2022, our portfolio of properties operated in 71 countries around the world. Additionally, through strategic relationships, we provide certain reservation and/or loyalty program services to hotels that are unaffiliated with our hotel portfolio and operate under other tradenames or marks owned by such hotels or licensed by third parties.

As used in these Notes and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

•"Hyatt," "Company," "we," "us," or "our" mean Hyatt Hotels Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries;

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

•"properties," "portfolio of properties," or "property portfolio" refer to our hotel portfolio and residential, vacation ownership, and condominium units that we operate, manage, franchise, own, lease, develop, license, or to which we provide services or license our trademarks, including under the:

◦Park Hyatt, Miraval, Grand Hyatt, Alila, Andaz, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Destination by Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt, Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, Thompson Hotels, Hyatt Centric, Caption by Hyatt, JdV by Hyatt, Hyatt House, Hyatt Place, UrCove, Hyatt Residences Club brands; and

◦Secrets Resorts & Spas, Dreams Resorts & Spas, Breathless Resorts & Spas, Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts, Vivid Hotels & Resorts, Alua Hotels & Resorts, and Sunscape Resorts & Spas brands (collectively the "AMR Collection"); and

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. As a result, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Form 10-K").

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

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

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adopted Accounting Standards

Government Assistance—In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-10 ("ASU 2021-10"), Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 requires annual disclosures that are expected to increase the transparency of transactions involving government grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity's financial statements. The provisions of ASU 2021-10 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2021, and we adopted ASU 2021-10 on January 1, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-10 on our annual disclosures and do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Future Adoption of Accounting Standards

Reference Rate Reform—In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04"), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions that we can elect to adopt, subject to meeting certain criteria, regarding contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 are available through December 31, 2022, and we are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04.

Contract Balances

Our contract assets, included in receivables, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were insignificant at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As our profitability hurdles are generally calculated on a full-year basis, we expect our contract assets to be insignificant at year end.

Contract liabilities were comprised of the following:


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Deferred revenue related to the paid membership program	$	891	$	833
Deferred revenue related to the loyalty program	843		814
Deferred revenue related to travel distribution and destination management services	719		629
Advanced deposits	57		61
Initial fees received from franchise owners	43		42
Deferred revenue related to insurance programs	36		52
Other deferred revenue	103		96
Total contract liabilities	$	2,692	$	2,527

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the activity in our contract liabilities:


	2022		2021
Beginning balance, January 1	$	2,527	$	941
Cash received and other	1,410		105
Revenue recognized	(1,245)		(86)
Ending balance, March 31	$	2,692	$	960

Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each year was $501 million and $69 million, respectively. This revenue primarily relates to travel distribution and destination management services, the loyalty program, and the paid membership program.

Revenue Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Contracted revenue expected to be recognized in future periods was approximately $460 million at March 31, 2022, of which we expect to recognize approximately 20% of the revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

4. DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

Equity Method Investments

Equity method investments were $209 million and $216 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we purchased our hospitality venture partner's interest in the entities that own Grand Hyatt São Paulo for $6 million of cash, and we repaid the $78 million third-party mortgage loan on the property. We recognized a $69 million pre-tax gain in equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) (see Note 6).

Marketable Securities

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

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


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Loyalty program (Note 8)	$	615	$	601
Deferred compensation plans held in rabbi trusts (Note 8 and Note 10)	498		543
Captive insurance company (Note 8)	119		148

Other Investments

HTM Debt Securities—We hold investments in held-to-maturity ("HTM") debt securities, which are investments in third-party entities that own certain of our hotels. The securities are mandatorily redeemable on various dates through 2027. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, HTM debt securities recorded within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
HTM debt securities	$	93	$	91
Less: allowance for credit losses	(39)		(38)
Total HTM debt securities, net of allowances	$	54	$	53

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


	2022		2021
Allowance at January 1	$	38	$	21
Credit losses (1)	1		1
Allowance at March 31	$	39	$	22


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

We estimated the fair value of HTM debt securities to be approximately $81 million and $77 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair values, which are classified as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy, are estimated using internally developed discounted cash flow models based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. The primary sensitivity in these models is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in these assumptions could result in different estimates of fair value.

Equity Securities Without a Readily Determinable Fair Value—At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we held $12 million of investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, which are recorded within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent investments in entities where we do not have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity.

5. RECEIVABLES

Receivables

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $655 million and $633 million of net receivables, respectively, recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value—We estimated the fair value of financing receivables to be approximately $107 million and $88 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair values, which are classified as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy, are estimated using discounted future cash flow models. The principal inputs used are projected future cash flows and the discount rate, which is generally the effective interest rate of the loan.

6. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Acquisitions

Apple Leisure Group—During the year ended December 31, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in Casablanca Global Intermediate Holdings L.P., doing business as Apple Leisure Group ("ALG"), and 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Casablanca Global GP Limited, its general partner, in a business combination for a purchase price of $2.7 billion (the "ALG Acquisition"). The transaction included $69 million of contingent consideration payable upon achieving certain targets related to ALG's outstanding travel credits; however, we did not record a contingent liability as the achievement was not considered probable as of the acquisition date.

We closed on the transaction on November 1, 2021 and paid $2,718 million of cash, inclusive of $39 million of purchase price adjustments for amounts due back to the seller that were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 and paid during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net assets acquired were determined as follows:


Cash paid, net of cash acquired	$	2,718
Cash and cash equivalents acquired	460
Restricted cash acquired	16

Net assets acquired	$	3,194

Table of Contents

The acquisition includes (i) management and marketing agreements for operating and pipeline hotels, primarily across Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and Europe, and brand names affiliated with the AMR Collection resorts; (ii) customer relationships and brand names related to ALG Vacations; and (iii) customer relationships and a brand name associated with the Unlimited Vacation Club paid membership program.

Our condensed consolidated balance sheets at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 reflect preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on available information as of the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets acquired are estimated using either discounted future cash flow models or the relief from royalty method, both of which include revenue projections based on the expected contract terms and long-term growth rates, which are primarily Level Three assumptions. The remaining assets and liabilities were recorded at their carrying values, which approximate their fair values.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed were revised. The measurement period adjustments primarily resulted from the refinement of contract terms, renewal periods, useful lives, and other assumptions, which affected the underlying cash flows in the valuation and were based on facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2022 primarily include a $25 million decrease in intangibles, net and a $16 million decrease in property and equipment, net with a corresponding $41 million increase to goodwill.

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

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded on the Apple Leisure Group segment at March 31, 2022:


Cash and cash equivalents	$	460

(1) The goodwill is attributable to the growth opportunities we expect to realize by expanding our footprint in luxury and resort travel, expanding our platform for growth, increasing choices and experiences for guests, and enhancing end-to-end leisure travel offerings. Goodwill of $36 million is tax deductible.

(2) Includes intangible assets related to various AMR Collection and ALG Vacations brand names.

(3) Amortized over useful lives of approximately 1 to 20 years, with a weighted-average useful life of approximately 12 years.

(4) Amortized over useful lives of 4 to 11 years, with a weighted-average useful life of approximately 8 years.

(5) Contract liabilities assumed were recorded at carrying value at the date of acquisition.

Grand Hyatt São Paulo—We previously held a 50% interest in the entities that own Grand Hyatt São Paulo, and we accounted for the investment as an unconsolidated hospitality venture under the equity method. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we purchased the remaining 50% interest for $6 million of cash. Additionally, we repaid the $78 million third-party mortgage loan on the property and were released from our debt repayment guarantee. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, and we recognized a $69 million pre-tax gain related to the transaction in equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The pre-tax gain is primarily attributable to a $42 million reversal of other long-term liabilities associated with our equity method investment and a $22 million reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss (see Note 13).

Net assets acquired were determined as follows:






Cash paid	$	6
Repayment of third-party mortgage loan	78

At March 31, 2022, the related assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale within our owned and leased hotels segment on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Assets held for sale were $105 million, which primarily consists of $101 million of property and equipment, net, and liabilities held for sale were $8 million, of which $4 million relates to contract liabilities.

On April 20, 2022, we completed the sale of the property to an unrelated third party, entered into a long-term management agreement, and repaid the debt.

The Driskill—During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we signed a purchase and sale agreement to sell The Driskill for a sales price of $125 million. At March 31, 2022, the related assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale within our owned and leased hotels segment on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Assets held for sale were $77 million, which primarily consists of $63 million of property and equipment, net, and liabilities held for sale were $9 million, which primarily consists of $6 million of operating lease liabilities. On April 28, 2022, we completed the sale of the property to an unrelated third party and entered into a long-term management agreement.

9. DEBT

Long-term debt was $3,815 million and $3,968 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility—During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, we had no borrowings or repayments on our revolving credit facility. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no balance outstanding. At March 31, 2022, we had $1,496 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit outstanding.

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

•$300 million of floating rate senior notes due 2023

•$350 million of 3.375% senior notes due 2023

•$700 million of 1.300% senior notes due 2023

•$750 million of 1.800% senior notes due 2024

•$450 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2025

•$400 million of 4.850% senior notes due 2026

•$400 million of 4.375% senior notes due 2028

•$450 million of 5.750% senior notes due 2030

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

Debt (1)	$	3,836	$	3,884	$	—	$	3,843	$	41

(1) Excludes $7 million of finance lease obligations and $22 million of unamortized discounts and deferred financing fees. The carrying value and fair value also exclude $164 million of debt, net of $4 million of unamortized discounts, related to Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk, which was classified as held for sale at March 31, 2022 (see Note 6).

11. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $2 million compared to the provision for income taxes of $186 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily attributable to the impact of a non-cash expense to record a valuation allowance on U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of entering into a three-year cumulative U.S. pre-tax loss position during the period.

We are subject to audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. U.S. tax years 2009 through 2011 are before the U.S. Tax Court concerning the tax treatment of the loyalty program. The U.S. Tax Court trial proceedings occurred during April 2022, and the trial outcome is pending, subject to the U.S. Tax Court Judge's ruling. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment for tax years 2015 through 2017 related to the loyalty program issue. As a result, U.S. tax years 2009 through 2017 are pending the outcome of the issue currently in U.S. Tax Court. If the IRS' position to include loyalty program contributions as taxable income to the Company is upheld, it would result in an estimated income tax payment of $225 million (including $67 million of interest, net of federal tax benefit) for all assessed years. We believe we have an adequate uncertain tax liability recorded in connection with this matter.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total unrecognized tax benefits recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets were $213 million and $205 million, respectively, of which $192 million and $186 million, respectively, would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. While it is reasonably possible that the amount of uncertain tax benefits associated with the U.S. treatment of the loyalty program could significantly change within the next 12 months, at this time, we are not able to estimate the range by which the reasonably possible outcomes of the pending litigation could impact our uncertain tax benefits within the next 12 months.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

We continue to review and evaluate the agreements acquired in the ALG Acquisition and the contractual obligations therein. Any identified contractual obligations could be material and may increase our liabilities assumed in the ALG Acquisition (see Note 6).

Commitments—At March 31, 2022, we are committed, under certain conditions, to lend, provide certain consideration to, or invest in, various business ventures up to $326 million, net of any related letters of credit.

Performance Guarantees—Certain of our contractual agreements with third-party hotel owners require us to guarantee payments to the owners if specified levels of operating profit are not achieved by their hotels. At

Table of Contents

March 31, 2022, our performance guarantees have $94 million of remaining maximum exposure and expire between 2022 and 2042.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $49 million and $52 million of total performance guarantee liabilities, respectively, which included $40 million and $41 million recorded in other long-term liabilities and $9 million and $11 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Additionally, we enter into certain management contracts where we have the right, but not an obligation, to make payments to certain hotel owners if their hotels do not achieve specified levels of operating profit. If we choose not to fund the shortfall, the hotel owner has the option to terminate the management contract. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $7 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to these performance cure payments.

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


Geographical region	Maximum potential future payments		Maximum exposure net of recoverability from third parties		Other long-term liabilities recorded at March 31, 2022		Other long-term liabilities recorded at December 31, 2021		Year of guarantee expiration
United States (1), (2)	$	134	$	51	$	7	$	10	various, through 2024
All foreign (1), (3)	215		205		37		41		various, through 2031
Total	$	349	$	256	$	44	$	51

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

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

(3) Certain debt repayment guarantees are denominated in Indian rupees and translated using exchange rates at March 31, 2022. We have the contractual right to recover amounts funded from an unconsolidated hospitality venture, which is a related party. We expect our maximum exposure to be approximately $97 million, taking into account our partner's 50% ownership interest in the unconsolidated hospitality venture. Under certain events or conditions, we have the right to force the sale of the properties in order to recover amounts funded.

At March 31, 2022, we are not aware, nor have we received any notification, that our unconsolidated hospitality ventures or hotel owners are not current on their debt service obligations where we have provided a debt repayment guarantee.

Guarantee Liabilities Fair Value—We estimated the fair value of our guarantees to be approximately $84 million and $87 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Based on the lack of available market data, we have classified our guarantees as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy.

Insurance—We obtain commercial insurance for potential losses for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability, employment practices, crime, property, cyber risk, and other miscellaneous coverages. A portion of the risk is retained on a self-insurance basis primarily through a U.S.-based and licensed captive insurance company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyatt and generally insures our deductibles and retentions. Reserve requirements are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. Reserves for losses in our captive insurance company to be paid within 12 months are $35 million and $34 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Reserves for losses in our captive insurance company to be paid in future periods are $68 million and $66 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Collective Bargaining Agreements—At March 31, 2022, approximately 22% of our U.S.-based employees were covered by various collective bargaining agreements, generally providing for basic pay rates, working hours, other conditions of employment, and orderly settlement of labor disputes. Certain employees are covered by union-sponsored, multi-employer pension and health plans pursuant to agreements between various unions and us. Generally, labor relations have been maintained in a normal and satisfactory manner, and we believe our employee relations are good.

Table of Contents

Surety and Other Bonds—Surety and other bonds issued on our behalf were $48 million at March 31, 2022 and primarily relate to workers' compensation, taxes, licenses, construction liens, and utilities related to our lodging operations.

Letters of Credit—Letters of credit outstanding on our behalf at March 31, 2022 were $281 million, which primarily relate to our ongoing operations, collateral for customer deposits associated with ALG Vacations, collateral for estimated insurance claims, and securitization of our performance under our debt repayment guarantees associated with the hotel properties in India, which are only called on if we default on our guarantees. Of the letters of credit outstanding, $4 million reduces the available capacity under our revolving credit facility (see Note 9).

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

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

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

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

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

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received a notice from the Indian tax authorities assessing additional service tax on our operations in India. We appealed this decision and do not believe a loss is probable, and therefore, we have not recorded a liability in connection with this matter. At March 31, 2022, our maximum exposure is not expected to exceed $18 million.

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
SARs	$	10	$	9
RSUs	16		13
PSUs	2		6
Total	$	28	$	28

SARs—During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we granted 344,202 SARs to employees with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $37.71. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we granted 396,889 SARs to employees with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $28.68.

Table of Contents

RSUs—During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we granted 414,466 RSUs to employees and non-employee directors with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $95.00. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we granted 388,726 RSUs to employees and non-employee directors with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $80.48.

PSUs—During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not grant any PSUs under our LTIP. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we granted 153,256 PSUs to employees with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $82.02.

Our total unearned compensation for our stock-based compensation programs at March 31, 2022 was $4 million for SARs, $48 million for RSUs, and $13 million for PSUs, which will primarily be recognized in stock-based compensation expense over a weighted-average period of three years.

15. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

Equity Method Investments—We have equity method investments in entities that own, operate, manage, or franchise properties for which we receive management, franchise, or license fees. We recognized $4 million and $1 million of fees during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, in some cases we provide loans (see Note 5) or guarantees (see Note 12) to these entities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, we recognized $2 million and $1 million of income related to these guarantees, respectively. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $31 million and $29 million of net receivables due from these properties, respectively. Our ownership interest in these unconsolidated hospitality ventures varies from 24% to 50%.

Class B Share Conversion—During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, 635,522 and 800,169 shares of Class B common stock, respectively, were converted on a share-for-share basis into shares of Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share. The shares of Class B common stock converted into shares of Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2021 have been retired, and those converted into shares of Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022 will be retired subsequent to March 31, 2022, thereby reducing the shares of Class B common stock authorized and outstanding.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our reportable segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Following the ALG Acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2021, ALG is managed as a separate reportable segment, but in the future, we may realign our reportable segments after integrating aspects of ALG's business. We define our reportable segments as follows:

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

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

Table of Contents

intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation.

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

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

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

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

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

Executive Overview

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

At March 31, 2022, our hotel portfolio consisted of 1,172 hotels (286,394 rooms), including:

•444 managed properties (134,247 rooms), all of which we operate under management and hotel services agreements with third-party property owners;

•547 franchised properties (91,617 rooms), all of which are owned by third parties that have franchise agreements with us and are operated by third parties;

•28 owned properties (12,113 rooms), 1 finance leased property (171 rooms), and 5 operating leased properties (1,965 rooms), all of which we manage;

•22 managed properties and 2 franchised properties owned or leased by unconsolidated hospitality ventures (8,039 rooms);

•12 franchised properties (2,090 rooms) that are operated by an unconsolidated hospitality venture in connection with a master license agreement by Hyatt, 4 of these properties (894 rooms) are leased by the unconsolidated hospitality venture; and

•111 all-inclusive resorts (36,152 rooms), including 98 owned by a third party (31,650 rooms), 9 owned by a third party in which we hold common shares (3,591 rooms), and 4 leased properties (911 rooms).

Our property portfolio also included:

•15 vacation ownership properties under the Hyatt Residence Club brand and operated by third parties;

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

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

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

We report our consolidated operations in U.S. dollars. Amounts are reported in millions, unless otherwise noted. Percentages may not recompute due to rounding, and percentage changes that are not meaningful are presented as "NM."

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

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

•ASPAC management and franchising ("ASPAC"), which consists of our management and franchising of properties located in Southeast Asia, Greater China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, and Micronesia;

Within corporate and other, we include the results from our co-branded credit card program and unallocated corporate expenses. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for further discussion of our segment structure.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Pandemic

We are encouraged by the continued global recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, which is being led by robust leisure demand and growing momentum in group and business transient travel. In January 2022, the spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant negatively impacted demand for travel and hospitality services. In February, March, and into the second quarter of 2022, we experienced significant improvement in demand in several key markets. However, we acknowledge that demand may be varied and uneven as the recovery continues to progress. Factors such as the spread of new COVID-19 variants, travel bans or restrictions in certain markets, such as the current situation in Greater China, certain labor and supply chain challenges, and increases in costs due to inflation or other factors may continue to impact our financial results for a period of time that we are currently unable to predict.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine

In February 2022, Russia commenced a military invasion of Ukraine, and the ongoing invasion and subsequent financial and economic sanctions have increased global political and economic uncertainty. While this conflict has affected our operations in Ukraine and Russia, our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were not materially affected by this conflict, as hotels in these countries represented less than 1% of our total managed and franchised hotels and, for the year ended December 31, 2021, contributed less than 1% of total management and franchise fee revenues.

Overview of Financial Results

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we reported net loss attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation of $73 million, compared to a net loss attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation of $304 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, representing an improvement of $231 million. The increase was primarily driven by improved operating performance and decreased tax expense.

Table of Contents

Consolidated revenues increased $841 million, or 191.9%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, driven by continued recovery in operating performance, as compared to the prior year, as well as the acquisition of ALG, which contributed $339 million of total revenues.

Our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 increased $189 million, compared to the first quarter of 2021, driven by the aforementioned increases in revenues due to the ongoing recovery from the prior year impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by our owned and leased hotels segment and Americas management and franchising segment, which increased $83 million and $57 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA also included $56 million from the Apple Leisure Group segment. See "—Segment Results" for further discussion. See "—Non-GAAP Measures" for an explanation of how we utilize Adjusted EBITDA, why we present it, and material limitations on its usefulness, as well as a reconciliation of our net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation to EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.

(1) The number of comparable hotels presented above includes owned and leased hotels.

System-wide RevPAR increased 107.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, driven by increased demand and ADR, with the exception of ASPAC select service hotels, due to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. See "—Segment Results" for discussion of RevPAR by segment.

Strength in leisure demand continues to lead the recovery, with the first quarter of 2022 being the second consecutive quarter with leisure transient rooms revenues exceeding 2019 levels. Our comparable system-wide hotels RevPAR of $94 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 represents significant improvement compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, but remains below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels of previously reported system-wide hotels RevPAR of $132 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

We have also experienced growing momentum in group travel, which is at the highest levels since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in business transient demand, which is continuing to improve. We have seen group bookings production increase compared to 2021 at our Americas full service managed hotels, including owned and leased hotels, and in March 2022, net bookings for the current year surpassed 2019 levels for the first time since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Discussion on Consolidated Results

For additional information regarding our consolidated results, refer to our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) included in this quarterly report. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, consolidated results improved significantly in most markets, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, which were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The three months ended March 31, 2022 also benefited from the ALG Acquisition, which closed on November 1, 2021. See "—Segment Results" for further discussion.

The impact from our investments in marketable securities held to fund our deferred compensation plans through rabbi trusts was recognized on the following financial statement line items and had no impact on net loss: revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties; owned and leased hotels expenses; selling, general, and administrative expenses; costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties; and net gains (losses) and interest income from marketable securities held to fund rabbi trusts.

The decrease in management, franchise, and other fees for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, was driven by a decrease in management fees in Greater China due to a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, which led to additional restrictions in certain markets, including Shanghai.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") and EBITDA

We use the terms Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA throughout this quarterly report. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA, as we define them, are non-GAAP measures. We define consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures Adjusted EBITDA based on our ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude the following items:

•interest expense;

•benefit (provision) for income taxes;

•depreciation and amortization;

•Contra revenue;

•revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties;

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

•equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures;

•stock-based compensation expense;

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

•asset impairments; and

•other income (loss), net.

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

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

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

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

franchised properties related to system-wide services and programs that we do not intend to recover from hotel owners. Finally, we exclude other items that are not core to our operations, such as asset impairments and unrealized and realized gains and losses on marketable securities.

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

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

Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses

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

Comparable hotels

"Comparable system-wide hotels" represents all properties we manage or franchise, including owned and leased properties, that are operated for the entirety of the periods being compared and that have not sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large scale renovations during the periods being compared or for which comparable results are not available. Hotels that suspended operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and have not yet re-opened are no longer included in our definition of comparable system-wide hotels. We may use variations of comparable system-wide hotels to specifically refer to comparable system-wide Americas full service hotels, including our wellness resorts, our select service hotels, or our all-inclusive resorts, for those properties that we manage or franchise within the Americas management and franchising segment, comparable system-wide ASPAC full service or select service hotels for those properties we manage or franchise within the ASPAC management and franchising segment, or comparable system-wide EAME/SW Asia full service or select service hotels for those properties that we manage or franchise within the EAME/SW Asia management and franchising segment. "Comparable owned and leased hotels" represents all properties we own or lease that are operated and consolidated for the entirety of the periods being compared and have not sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large scale renovations during the periods being compared or for which comparable results are not available. Comparable system-wide hotels and comparable owned and leased hotels are commonly used as a basis of measurement in our industry. "Non-comparable system-wide hotels" or "non-comparable owned and leased hotels" represent all hotels that do not meet the respective definition of "comparable" as defined above.

Constant dollar currency

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

Net Financed Contracts

Net Financed Contracts represent Unlimited Vacation Club contracts signed during the period for which an initial cash down payment has been received and the remaining balance is contractually due in monthly installments over an average term of less than 4 years. The Net Financed Contract balance is calculated as the unpaid portion of membership contracts reduced by expenses related to fulfilling the membership program contracts and further reduced by an allowance for future estimated uncollectible installments. Net Financed Contract balances are not reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as our right to collect future installments is conditional on our ability to provide continuous access to member benefits at AMR Collection resorts over the contract term, and the associated expenses to fulfill the membership contracts become liabilities of the Company only after the installments are collected. We believe Net Financed Contracts is useful to investors as it represents an estimate of future cash flows due in accordance with contracts signed in the current period. At March 31, 2022, the Net Financed Contract balance not recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $140 million.

Net Deferrals

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

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

Table of Contents

We expect to successfully execute our commitment announced in August of 2021 to realize $2.0 billion of proceeds from the disposition of owned assets by the end of 2024. At May 10, 2022, we have realized $584 million of proceeds from the disposition of owned assets as part of this commitment.

We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding equity and/or debt securities through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or an accelerated share repurchase transaction. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, restrictions in our existing or future financing arrangements, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, there were no returns of capital to our shareholders through share repurchases, and there was no dividend payment.

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

Recent Transactions Affecting our Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, various transactions impacted our liquidity. See "—Sources and Uses of Cash."

Sources and Uses of Cash


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reclassified to assets held for sale	(7)		—
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	54	$	(131)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities increased $271 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to improved performance across the portfolio driven by continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Cash provided by operating activities in 2022 also includes increased working capital driven by ALG's performance due to significant booking demand within ALG Vacations.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2022:

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

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

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2021:

•We purchased our partner's interest in the entities that own Grand Hyatt São Paulo for $6 million of cash, and we repaid the $78 million third-party mortgage loan on the property.

•We invested $19 million in capital expenditures (see "—Capital Expenditures").

•We invested $16 million in unconsolidated hospitality ventures.

Table of Contents

•We received $100 million in net proceeds of marketable securities and short-term investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, we did not have any significant financing activities.

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


	March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Consolidated debt (1), (2)	$	3,821		$	3,978
Stockholders' equity	3,521			3,563
Total capital	7,342			7,541
Total debt to total capital	52.0		%	52.8		%
Consolidated debt (1), (2)	3,821			3,978
Less: cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments	(1,305)			(1,187)
Net consolidated debt	$	2,516		$	2,791
Net debt to total capital	34.3		%	37.0		%

(1) Excludes approximately $593 million and $581 million of our share of unconsolidated hospitality venture indebtedness at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, substantially all of which is non-recourse to us and a portion of which we guarantee pursuant to separate agreements.

(2) Excludes $164 million of debt, net of $4 million of unamortized discounts, related to Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk, which was classified as held for sale at March 31, 2022 (see Note 6).

Capital Expenditures

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Enhancements to existing properties	$	21	$	9
Maintenance and technology	19		10
Other	3		—
Total capital expenditures	$	43	$	19

Total capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2022, include $7 million related to ALG. Excluding ALG, our capital expenditures continue to be below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.

$450 million senior unsecured notes maturing in 2030—5.750%	450
Total Senior Notes	$	3,800

We are in compliance with all applicable covenants under the indenture governing our Senior Notes at March 31, 2022.

Revolving Credit Facility

The revolving credit facility is intended to provide financing for working capital and general corporate purposes, including commercial paper backup and permitted investments and acquisitions. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no balance outstanding. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements."

We are in compliance with all applicable covenants under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2022.

Letters of Credit

We issue letters of credit either under the revolving credit facility or directly with financial institutions. We had $277 million and $276 million in letters of credit issued directly with financial institutions outstanding at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, these letters of credit had weighted-average fees of approximately 157 basis points and typically have maturity dates of up to one year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have disclosed those estimates that we believe are critical and require complex judgment in their application in our 2021 Form 10-K. Since the date of our 2021 Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk, primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In certain situations, we seek to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates by entering into financial arrangements to provide a hedge against a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. We continue to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not hedged. We enter into derivative financial arrangements to the extent they meet the objectives described above, and we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. At March 31, 2022, we were a party to hedging transactions, including the use of derivative financial instruments, as discussed below.

Interest Rate Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes due to our borrowing activities. Our objective is to manage the risk of interest rate changes on the results of operations, cash flows, and the market value of our debt by creating an appropriate balance between our fixed and floating-rate debt. We enter into interest rate derivative transactions from time to time, including interest rate swaps and interest rate locks, in order to maintain a level of exposure to interest rate variability that we deem acceptable. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not hold any interest rate swap contracts or have outstanding interest rate locks.

The following table sets forth the contractual maturities and the total fair values at March 31, 2022 for our financial instruments materially affected by interest rate risk:


	Maturities by Period
	2022		2023		2024		2025		2026		Thereafter		Total carrying amount (1)			Total fair value (1)
Fixed-rate debt	$	—	$	1,051	$	750	$	450	$	400	$	850	$	3,501		$	3,542
Average interest rate (2)													3.47		%
Floating-rate debt (3)	$	3	$	304	$	4	$	4	$	4	$	16	$	335		$	342
Average interest rate (2)													1.87		%

(1) Excludes $164 million of debt classified as held for sale, net of $4 million of unamortized discounts (see Note 6), $7 million of finance lease obligations, and $22 million of unamortized discounts and deferred financing fees.

(2) Average interest rate at March 31, 2022.

(3) Includes Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro construction loan which had a 8.07% interest rate at March 31, 2022.

Foreign Currency Exposures and Exchange Rate Instruments

We transact business in various foreign currencies and utilize foreign currency forward contracts to offset our exposure associated with the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. The U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amount of the outstanding forward contracts, the majority of which relate to intercompany transactions, with terms of less than one year, were $180 million and $184 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

We intend to offset the gains and losses related to our third-party debt and intercompany transactions with gains or losses on our foreign currency forward contracts such that there is a negligible effect on our annual net income (loss). Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what we previously disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the effects of these derivative instruments resulted in $5 million of net gains and $3 million of net losses, respectively, recognized in other income (loss), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). We offset the gains and losses on our foreign currency forward contracts with gains and losses related to our intercompany loans and transactions, such that there is a negligible effect to our net income (loss). At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had insignificant assets recorded in prepaids and other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to derivative instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

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

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

We are in the process of integrating Apple Leisure Group into our internal control over financial reporting processes.

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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

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

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We are supplementing the risk factors described under the section titled "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 with the following risk factor.

Russia's ongoing conflict with Ukraine has disrupted the global economy. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected by continued disruption and global consequences stemming from the conflict.

Although our operations in Russia and Ukraine are not material to our consolidated financial results, the broader consequences of this conflict have negatively affected, and are expected to continue to negatively affect, the global economy. As the conflict continues, there can be no certainty regarding whether governments will impose additional sanctions or other economic or military measures. Further expansion or escalation of military confrontations or related geopolitical tensions, including increased restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, depressed travel demand, declines in consumer confidence and economic growth, cyber incidents or information technology failures, supply disruptions, increases in inflation rates, changes to foreign currency exchange rates, constraints, volatility, or disruption in financial markets, the availability of raw materials, supplies, freight and labor, and uncertainty about economic and global stability. Any of the foregoing consequences, including those we cannot yet predict, may cause our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the price of our common stock to be adversely affected. In addition, the effects of the ongoing conflict could precipitate, aggravate, or impact the risk factors that are included in "Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 17, 2022, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, including in ways that are not currently known to us or that we do not currently consider to present significant risks.

(1)On each of October 30, 2018 and December 18, 2019, we announced the approvals of the expansions of our share repurchase program. Following the suspension of our share repurchase program in March 2020, we have resumed the share repurchase program. Under each approval, we are authorized to purchase up to an additional $750 million of Class A and Class B common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or an accelerated share repurchase transaction. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have an expiration date. At March 31, 2022, we had approximately $928 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.
