Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am very encouraged by our third quarter results, which were driven by continued RevPAR growth in our key urban markets as well as the continued acceleration of group business. Comparable RevPAR for the third quarter of 2023 increased approximately 3% compared to the third quarter of 2022, or nearly 5% excluding the Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection, where operations were suspended throughout the third quarter for a comprehensive renovation. Highlights during the quarter include a 7% increase in Comparable RevPAR across our urban portfolio that was driven by the New York Hilton Midtown where RevPAR increased nearly 30% coupled with continued strength at our Hawaii hotels. Group performance also continues to accelerate, with Comparable group revenues for the third quarter of 2023 up 12% year-over-year and 2024 Comparable Group Revenue Pace up nearly 18% compared to the same time last year.
“In addition to our operating achievements, we executed important strategic capital allocation initiatives, including the repurchase of 5.8 million shares of our common stock under our existing repurchase program at a significant discount to our estimated net asset value, and reinvested over $70 million back into our current portfolio, nearly half of which was for the Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection, where we began to welcome guests back in October. With approximately $1.7 billion of liquidity, we believe we are well-positioned to continue executing on our strategic initiatives, including reshaping our portfolio, investing in strategic ROI projects and opportunistically repurchasing stock and/or acquiring assets, to create long-term value for our shareholders.
“Finally, we have reached a significant milestone in exiting our two Hilton San Francisco Hotels. The hotels have been placed into a court-ordered receivership giving the receiver full authority and control over the hotels’ operations. Consequently, Park no longer has an economic interest in and will not financially support the hotels’ operations. With San Francisco still facing an elongated recovery, we firmly believe our difficult but necessary decision to exit these assets and greatly reduce our market exposure is in the best interest of our shareholders.”
Additional Highlights
- In August 2023, repurchased a total of 5.8 million shares under the existing repurchase program at an average price of $13.00 per share, for approximately $75 million;
- In October 2023, the trustee for the $725 million non-recourse CMBS Loan (“SF Mortgage Loan”) filed a lawsuit against the borrowers under the SF Mortgage Loan. In connection with the lawsuit, the court appointed a receiver to take control of the Hilton San Francisco Hotels, which serve as security for the SF Mortgage Loan, and their operations, and thus, Park has no further economic interest in the operations of the hotels. The receiver will operate and has authority over the hotels and, until no later than November 1, 2024, has the ability to sell the hotels. The lawsuit contemplates the receivership will end with a non-judicial foreclosure by December 2, 2024, if the hotels are not sold within the predetermined sale period;
- On October 27, 2023, Park’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.77 per share in connection with the effective exit from the Hilton San Francisco Hotels, which results in a required additional distribution. The special dividend will be paid on January 16, 2024 to stockholders of record as of December 29, 2023; and
- Park participated in the 2023 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (“GRESB”) assessment, ranking in the top third of all publicly listed GRESB participant companies in the Americas and registering a three-point increase over 2022, continuing the Company’s trend of enhancing its overall Environmental, Social and Governance program and making meaningful improvements toward decarbonization.

In October 2023, the trustee for the SF Mortgage Loan filed a lawsuit against the borrowers under the loan.

Dividends
Park declared a third quarter 2023 cash dividend of $0.15 per share to stockholders of record as of September 29, 2023. The third quarter 2023 cash dividend was paid on October 16, 2023.
The effective exit from the Hilton San Francisco Hotels in October 2023 results in a required additional distribution. Thus, Park’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.77 per share on October 27, 2023, which will be paid on January 16, 2024 to stockholders of record as of December 29, 2023.
In addition to the $0.77 special cash dividend, Park plans to declare its fourth quarter dividend before the end of 2023 and currently expects such dividend to be in the range of $0.85 and $0.95 per share, subject to approval by its Board of Directors, consisting of a top-off component of between $0.70 and $0.80 per share and Park’s recurring cash dividend of $0.15 per share.
Full-Year 2023 Outlook
Park is not providing a full year 2023 outlook for net income, net income attributable to stockholders, earnings per share, operating income and operating income margin and the accompanying reconciliations as all the information necessary for the calculation of the gain (loss) on derecognition of assets and income tax expense resulting from the Hilton San Francisco Hotels being placed into receivership is not yet available, and Park is unable to reasonably estimate such amounts without unreasonable burden or efforts. These amounts are expected to be material; however, they are not expected to materially affect Park’s outlook for Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted FFO or Adjusted FFO per share. Park expects full-year 2023 operating results to be as follows:

______________________________________________
(1) Park did not provide Comparable metrics in its full year 2023 outlook as of August 2, 2023.
(2) Amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers.
Park’s outlook is based in part on the following assumptions:
- Comparable RevPAR for the fourth quarter of 2023 is expected to be between $170 and $180;
- Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 is expected to be between 26.9% and 28.9%;
- Adjusted EBITDA includes Hotel Adjusted EBITDA for the two Hilton San Francisco Hotels of $3 million from January 2023 to October 2023, the period prior to the hotels being placed into receivership;
- Adjusted FFO excludes an incremental $20 million of default interest and late payment administrative fees associated with default of the SF Mortgage Loan beginning in June 2023, which is required to be recognized in interest expense until legal title to the Hilton San Francisco Hotels are transferred;
- Fully diluted weighted average shares for the full-year 2023 are expected to be 214 million, while fully diluted weighted average shares for the fourth quarter of 2023 are expected to be 210 million;
- Includes $15 million of Hotel Adjusted EBITDA disruption from a full-scale renovation at the Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023; and
- Comparable portfolio as of November 1, 2023 and does not take into account potential future acquisitions and dispositions, which could result in a material change to Park’s outlook.
Park’s full-year 2023 outlook is based on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control, including uncertainty surrounding macro-economic factors, such as inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions and the possibility of an economic recession or slowdown, as well as the assumptions set forth above, all of which are subject to change.

(1) Comparable Net Debt as of September 30, 2023 excludes the $725 million SF Mortgage Loan and $26 million of cash that is restricted due to the default of the SF Mortgage Loan, and assumes the removal of the Hilton San Francisco Hotels from Park’s portfolio that were placed into receivership in October 2023, which results in a required additional distribution of $162 million (or approximately $0.77 per share). The cash dividend of $0.77 per share was declared on October 27, 2023 and will be paid on January 16, 2024 to stockholders of record as of December 29, 2023.
PARK HOTELS & RESORTS INC.
DEFINITIONS
Hilton San Francisco Hotels
Park’s Hilton San Francisco Hotels represent the 1,921-room Hilton San Francisco Union Square and 1,024-room Parc 55 San Francisco – a Hilton Hotel.
Current
The Company presents certain data for its consolidated hotels on a Current basis as supplemental information for investors: Current Hotel Revenues, Current RevPAR, Current Total RevPAR, Current Occupancy, Current ADR, Current Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Current Hotel Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company presents Current hotel results to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of its hotels. The Company’s Current metrics exclude results from property dispositions that have occurred through September 30, 2023 and include results from property acquisitions as though such acquisitions occurred on the earliest period presented.
Comparable
Park’s Comparable hotels represent its Current hotels excluding the two Hilton San Francisco Hotels as the Company expects these hotels to ultimately be removed from its portfolio.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin
Earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), presented herein, reflects net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income taxes and interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization included in equity in earnings from investments in affiliates.
Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude the following items that are not reflective of Park’s ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business, and thus, excluded from management’s analysis in making day-to-day operating decisions and evaluations of Park’s operating performance against other companies within its industry:
- Gains or losses on sales of assets for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments;
- Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period;
- Severance expense;
- Share-based compensation expense;
- Impairment losses and casualty gains or losses; and
- Other items that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current or future operating performance.
Hotel Adjusted EBITDA measures hotel-level results before debt service, depreciation and corporate expenses of the Company’s consolidated hotels, which excludes hotels owned by unconsolidated affiliates, and is a key measure of the Company’s profitability. The Company presents Hotel Adjusted EBITDA to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company’s consolidated hotels.
Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Hotel Adjusted EBITDA divided by total hotel revenue.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under United States (“U.S.”) GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company’s definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors about the Company and its financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are among the measures used by the Company’s management team to make day-to-day operating decisions and evaluate its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the effect of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results; and (ii) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in the industry.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other methods of analyzing the Company’s operating performance and results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to the Company to reinvest in the growth of its business or as measures of cash that will be available to the Company to meet its obligations.
Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders, Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders, Nareit FFO per share – diluted and Adjusted FFO per share – diluted
Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders and Nareit FFO per diluted share (defined as set forth below) are presented herein as non-GAAP measures of the Company’s performance. The Company calculates funds from (used in) operations (“FFO”) attributable to stockholders for a given operating period in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), as net income (loss) attributable to stockholders (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on sales of assets, impairment, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect the Company’s pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis. As noted by Nareit in its December 2018 “Nareit Funds from Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement,” since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For these reasons, Nareit adopted the FFO metric in order to promote an industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance. The Company believes Nareit FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs. The Company’s presentation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the terms in accordance with the current Nareit definition, or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently. The Company calculates Nareit FFO per diluted share as Nareit FFO divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during a given operating period.
The Company also presents Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders and Adjusted FFO per diluted share when evaluating its performance because management believes that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Management historically has made the adjustments detailed below in evaluating its performance and in its annual budget process. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of operating performance. The Company adjusts Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders:
- Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period;
- Severance expense;
- Share-based compensation expense;
- Casualty gains or losses; and
- Other items that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current or future operating performance.
Net Debt
Net debt, presented herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate its financial leverage. Net debt is calculated as (i) long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; and (ii) the Company’s share of investments in affiliate debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; reduced by (a) cash and cash equivalents; and (b) restricted cash and cash equivalents.
The Company believes Net debt provides useful information about its indebtedness to investors as it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the indebtedness of companies. Net debt should not be considered as a substitute to debt presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net debt may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies.
Occupancy
Occupancy represents the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available at a hotel or group of hotels. Occupancy measures the utilization of the Company’s hotels’ available capacity. Management uses Occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help management determine achievable Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) levels as demand for rooms increases or decreases.
Average Daily Rate
ADR (or rate) represents rooms revenue divided by total number of room nights sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. ADR is a commonly used performance measure in the hotel industry, and management uses ADR to assess pricing levels that the Company is able to generate by type of customer, as changes in rates have a more pronounced effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in Occupancy, as described above.
Revenue per Available Room
Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) represents rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Management considers RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company’s performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key factors of operations at a hotel or group of hotels: Occupancy and ADR. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods.
Total RevPAR
Total RevPAR represents rooms, food and beverage and other hotel revenues divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Management considers Total RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company’s performance as approximately one-third of revenues are earned from food and beverage and other hotel revenues. Total RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods.
Group Revenue Pace
Group Revenue Pace represents bookings for future business and is calculated as group room nights multiplied by the contracted room rate expressed as a percentage of a prior period relative to a prior point in time.
