First Quarter Operational Commentary
- Luxury chain scale led RevPAR growth in the quarter. Leisure transient RevPAR remained the strongest area of growth, while group and business transient RevPAR each grew in the low single-digits. Geopolitical conflict in the Middle East negatively impacted RevPAR growth by approximately 50 bps.
- Net Package RevPAR increased 7.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2025, despite security concerns in Mexico, reflecting continued strong demand of luxury all-inclusive travel.
- Gross fees increased 8.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting strong core business performance.
- Base management fees increased 10.9%, driven by managed hotel RevPAR and Net Package RevPAR growth outside the United States, strong resort performance in the United States, fees from the Playa Hotels Acquisition, and contributions from newly opened hotels.
- Incentive management fees increased 13.8%, driven by fees from the Playa Hotels Acquisition, newly opened hotels, and strong performance in Asia Pacific, partially offset by lower fees in the Middle East and Mexico.
- Franchise and other fees increased 3.1%, driven by Non-RevPAR Fee contributions, RevPAR growth in United States select-service properties, and newly opened hotels, partially offset by franchise fees recognized in 2025 from the eight Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara properties that were part of the Playa Hotels Acquisition.
- Owned and leased segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, after adjusting for 2025 asset sales.
- Distribution segment Adjusted EBITDA declined compared to the first quarter of 2025, due to temporary factors, including hotel closures in Jamaica related to Hurricane Melissa, lower demand in Mexico due to security concerns, and lower demand in four-star properties.
Openings and Development
During the first quarter, the Company:
- Opened 3,966 rooms. Notable openings included:
- Andaz Lisbon, strengthening Hyatt’s lifestyle brand presence in Europe;
- Andaz Shanghai ITC, strengthening Hyatt’s luxury lifestyle brand presence in Greater China;
- The Livingston in Brooklyn, New York, expanding Hyatt’s brand footprint in a key urban market as the first Hyatt-branded hotel in the borough.
- Pipeline of executed management or franchise contracts grew 9.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2025, reaching a new record of 151,000 rooms.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2026, the Company reported the following:
- Total debt of $4.3 billion.
- Total liquidity of $2.2 billion, inclusive of:
- $671 million of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments, and
- $1,497 million of borrowing capacity under Hyatt's revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit outstanding.
- Total remaining share repurchase authorization of $543 million. The Company repurchased $135 million of Class A common stock during the first quarter.

| The Company is providing the following outlook for the 2026 fiscal year: |
| System-Wide Hotels RevPAR Growth | | | 2.0% to 4.0% |
| Net Rooms Growth | | | 6.0% to 7.0% |
| (in millions) | | | |

Refer to the tables on schedule A-12 for a reconciliation of estimated net income attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA, G&A expenses to Adjusted G&A Expenses, and net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to no longer include its pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA and recast prior-period results to provide comparability.
Reflects a reduction of $78 million in 2025 owned and leased segment Adjusted EBITDA to account for period of ownership of hotels acquired as part of the Playa Hotels Acquisition and the impact of assets sold in 2025. Refer to schedule A-11 for further details.
The Company expects to return capital to shareholders through a combination of cash dividends on its common stock and share repurchases.
- The increase in the System-wide Hotels RevPAR growth outlook reflects improving trends in the United States with RevPAR in the United States expected to grow between 2% to 3% for the full year. It also assumes moderately higher growth in international markets compared to the United States but lower growth compared to expectations provided during the fourth quarter 2025 earnings call primarily due to the impact of the conflict in the Middle East.
- The increase in the Gross Fees outlook reflects the strength in the core fee business, partially offset by the impact of the conflict in the Middle East and lower demand into Mexico due to isolated security concerns.
- Adjusted EBITDA outlook reflects the increase in the Gross Fees outlook offset by lower Distribution segment Adjusted EBITDA compared to expectations provided during the fourth quarter 2025 earnings call. The Company now expects Distribution segment Adjusted EBITDA to decline by approximately $25 million for the full year compared to 2025, driven by lower demand into Mexico in the first and second quarters of 2026 due to isolated security concerns that emerged in February 2026.
No disposition or acquisition activity beyond what has been completed as of the date of this release has been included in the 2026 outlook. The Company's 2026 outlook is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the control of the Company. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. There can be no assurance that Hyatt will achieve these results.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Outlook: Net Income Attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA; G&A Expenses to Adjusted G&A Expenses; and Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
No additional disposition or acquisition activity beyond what has been completed as of the date of this release has been included in the 2026 outlook. The Company's 2026 outlook is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the control of the Company. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results. Results of operations as presented on the condensed consolidated statements of income include expenses recognized with respect to deferred compensation plans funded through rabbi trusts. Certain of these expenses are recognized in G&A expenses and are completely offset by the corresponding net gains (losses) and interest income from marketable securities held to fund rabbi trusts, thus having no impact to net income. G&A expenses also include expenses related to stock-based compensation.

Definitions
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA")
We use the term Adjusted EBITDA throughout this earnings release. 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 net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, adjusted to exclude the following items:
- payments to customers ("contra revenue"), including performance cure payments and amortization of management and hotel services agreement and franchise agreement assets ("key money assets");
- revenues for reimbursed costs;
- reimbursed costs that we intend to recover over the long term;
- stock-based compensation expense;
- transaction and integration costs;
- depreciation and amortization;
- equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures;
- interest expense;
- gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other;
- asset impairments;
- other income (loss), net; and
- benefit (provision) for income taxes.
We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by adding the Adjusted EBITDA of each of our reportable segments and eliminations to unallocated overhead expenses.
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 Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, 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 talent and compensation committee of our board of directors determines the annual variable compensation and long-term incentive compensation for certain members of our management based in part on financial measures including and/or derived from 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 our prior-period and forecasted results as well as our industry and competitors.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries and among companies within the same industry, including interest expense and benefit or 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.
A - 13
We exclude revenues for reimbursed costs and reimbursed costs which relate to the reimbursement of payroll costs and 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 or bear a loss over the long term. If we collect amounts in excess of amounts spent, we have a commitment to our hotel owners to spend these amounts on the related system-wide services and programs. Additionally, if we spend in excess of amounts collected, we have a contractual right to adjust future collections or expenditures to recover prior-period costs. These timing differences are due to our discretion to spend in excess of revenues earned or less than revenues earned in a single period to ensure that the system-wide services and programs are operated in the best long-term interests of our hotel owners. Over the long term, these programs and services are not designed to impact our economics, either positively or negatively, and instead are designed to result in a cumulative break-even balance. Therefore, we exclude the net impact when evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA includes reimbursed costs 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 and may vary in frequency or magnitude, such as transaction and integration costs, asset impairments, unrealized and realized gains and losses on marketable securities, and gains and losses on sales of real estate and other.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a substitute 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. 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 or loss generated by our business. Our management compensates for these limitations by referencing our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally.
Adjusted General and Administrative ("G&A") Expenses
Adjusted general and administrative expenses, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted general and administrative expenses excludes the impact of deferred compensation plans funded through rabbi trusts and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted general and administrative expenses 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 consolidated basis.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Losses) Per Class A and Class B Share ("EPS")
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS, as we define them, are non-GAAP measures. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation excluding special items, which are those items deemed not to be reflective of ongoing operations. We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per diluted share. We consider Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be an indicator of operating performance because excluding special items allows for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not a substitute for Net Income (Loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation, net income (loss), diluted earnings (losses) per share (EPS), or any other measure prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS. Although we believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because they remove special items that are deemed not to be reflective of ongoing operations, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) or Adjusted Diluted EPS 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 Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered as measures of the income (loss) and earnings (losses) per share generated by our business. Our management compensates for these limitations by reference to its GAAP results and using Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS supplementally.
Average Daily Rate ("ADR")
ADR represents hotel room revenues divided by the total number of rooms sold in a given period. ADR measures the average room price attained by a property, and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a property or group of properties. ADR is a commonly used performance measure in our industry, and we use ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate by customer group, as changes in rates have a different effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described below.
A - 14
Comparable system-wide and Comparable owned and leased
"Comparable system-wide" represents all properties we manage, franchise, or provide services to, including owned and leased properties, that are operated for the entirety of the periods being compared and have not experienced business interruption or undergone large-scale capital projects during the periods being compared. Comparable system-wide also excludes properties for which comparable results are not available. We may use variations of comparable system-wide to specifically refer to comparable system-wide hotels or our all-inclusive resorts, for those properties that we manage, franchise, or provide services to within our management and franchising segment. "Comparable owned and leased" represents owned or leased hotels and/or all-inclusive resorts that are operated and consolidated for the entirety of the periods being compared and have not experienced business interruption or undergone large-scale capital projects during the periods being compared. Comparable owned and leased also excludes properties for which comparable results are not available. Comparable system-wide and comparable owned and leased are commonly used as a basis of measurement in our industry. "Non-comparable system-wide" or "non-comparable owned and leased" represent all properties, including those that do not meet the above definition of "comparable."
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 current-period exchange rates. These restated amounts are then compared to our current-period reported amounts to provide operationally driven variances in our results.
Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents Free Cash Flow less estimated cash taxes on asset sales and costs associated with the Playa Hotels Acquisition. We believe Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to be useful liquidity measures to us and investors to evaluate the ability of our operations to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures, cash taxes on asset sales, and costs associated with the Playa Hotels Acquisition and, after debt service and other obligations, our ability to grow our business through acquisitions and investments, as well as our ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not necessarily representative of how we will use excess cash. Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not substitutes for net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and management compensates for these limitations by referencing our GAAP results and using Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow supplementally.
Net Package ADR
Net Package ADR represents net package revenues divided by the total number of rooms sold in a given period. Net package revenues generally include revenue derived from the sale of packages at all-inclusive resorts comprised of rooms, food and beverage, and entertainment revenues, net of compulsory tips paid to employees. Net Package ADR measures the average room price attained by a property, and Net Package ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a property or group of properties. Net Package ADR is a commonly used performance measure in our industry, and we use Net Package ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate by customer group, as changes in rates have a different effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described below.
Net Package Revenue Per Available Room ("RevPAR")
Net Package RevPAR is the product of the Net Package ADR and the average daily occupancy percentage. Net Package RevPAR generally includes revenue derived from the sale of packages comprised of rooms, food and beverage, and entertainment revenues, net of compulsory tips paid to employees. Our management uses Net Package RevPAR to identify trend information with respect to room revenues from comparable properties and to evaluate property performance on a geographical and segment basis. Net Package RevPAR is a commonly used performance measure in our industry.
Net Package RevPAR changes that are driven predominantly by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenue levels and incremental profitability than do changes that are driven predominantly by changes in average room rates. For example, increases in occupancy at a property would lead to increases in net package revenues and additional variable operating costs, including housekeeping services, utilities, and room amenity costs. In contrast, changes in average room rates typically have a greater impact on margins and profitability as average room rate changes result in minimal direct impacts to variable operating costs.

Non-RevPAR Fees
Non-RevPAR Fees represent fee revenues that are not derived from hotel operating performance. Non-RevPAR Fees include license fees received primarily in connection with the licensing of the Hyatt brand names through our co-branded credit card programs, and residential and vacation units; management and royalty fees related to the management and licensing of certain of our brands to the Unlimited Vacation Club business; fees related to hotel services provided to certain all-inclusive resorts within Latin America and the Caribbean; initial application fees from franchisees; design services fees from third-party owners and franchisees; and termination fees. We use Non-RevPAR Fees to assess fee streams that are not directly correlated with hotel-level operating results.
Occupancy
Occupancy represents the total number of rooms sold divided by the total number of rooms available at a property or group of properties. Occupancy measures the utilization of a property's available capacity. We use occupancy to gauge demand at a specific property or group of properties in a given period. Occupancy levels also help us determine achievable ADR levels as demand for property rooms increases or decreases.
Playa Hotels Acquisition
On June 17, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. ("Playa Hotels" or "Playa"), a leading owner, operator, and developer of all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica, for a purchase price of $13.50 per share, or an enterprise value of approximately $2.6 billion, including approximately $900 million of debt, net of cash acquired.
Playa Real Estate Transaction
On December 30, 2025, affiliates of the Company closed on the sale of the real estate portfolio previously acquired from Playa for approximately $2 billion to Tortuga Resorts ("Tortuga"), As previously disclosed, the Company sold one of these properties to a separate third-party buyer on September 18, 2025 for $22 million. Between the completion of the earlier sale and the Tortuga transaction, Hyatt has sold the entire Playa real estate portfolio for a total of $2 billion. Hyatt and Tortuga entered into 50-year management agreements for 13 of 14 properties in the portfolio, with terms consistent with Hyatt's existing all-inclusive fee structure. The remaining property is subject to a separate contractual arrangement.
RevPAR
RevPAR is the product of the ADR and the average daily occupancy percentage. RevPAR does not include non-room revenues, which consist of ancillary revenues generated by a property, such as food and beverage, parking, and other guest service revenues. Our management uses RevPAR to identify trend information with respect to room revenues from comparable properties and to evaluate property performance on a geographical and segment basis. RevPAR is a commonly used performance measure in our industry.
RevPAR changes that are driven predominantly by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenue levels and incremental profitability than do changes that are driven predominantly by changes in average room rates. For example, increases in occupancy at a property would lead to increases in room revenues and additional variable operating costs, including housekeeping services, utilities, and room amenity costs, and could also result in increased ancillary revenues, including food and beverage. In contrast, changes in average room rates typically have a greater impact on margins and profitability as average room rate changes result in minimal direct impacts to variable operating costs.
