    • Repurchased 8.5 million shares of common stock in May 2022 at an average price of $18.33 per share, or $157 million, for a total of 12.0 million shares repurchased year-to-date at an average price of $18.23 per share, or $218 million;

    Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am extremely excited to see continued demand growth across our portfolio during the second quarter. Leisure demand remains strong in our Hawaii, Florida and Puerto Rico markets, while business transient and group demand continue to strengthen, helping to drive average rates at our urban hotels above 2019 levels by over 2% and group rates to 2019 levels during the second quarter. Additionally, we sold four hotels and our ownership interests in the joint ventures that own and operate one hotel during 2022 for gross proceeds of approximately $268 million and utilized these proceeds to buy back $218 million in stock at a significant discount to our estimated net asset value. Despite the macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures that exist, I am optimistic that our portfolio will continue to recover through the back half of the year as pent-up demand persists across all segments, including our current forecast reflecting transient occupancy for the third quarter at nearly 90% of 2019 levels. With current liquidity of approximately $1.7 billion, we are well positioned to pivot between defense and offense as we continue to strengthen our balance sheet and reinvest in our portfolio."

    Dividends and Share Repurchases

    Park declared a second quarter 2022 cash dividend of $0.01 per share to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2022. The second quarter 2022 cash dividend was paid on July 15, 2022.

    During the second quarter, Park repurchased 8.5 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $18.33 per share, or $157 million in the aggregate, through its previously disclosed $300 million stock repurchase program, which was approved by our Board of Directors in February 2022. Year-to-date, 12.0 million shares have been repurchased at an average price of $18.23 per share, or $218 million.

    Q3 2022 Outlook

    Park is only providing third quarter 2022 guidance at this time given the uncertainty with respect to macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures in the latter part of the year. Expectations for third quarter 2022 operating results are as follows:

    (unaudited, dollars in millions, except per share amounts and RevPAR) 
      Q3 2022 Outlook 
      as of August 3, 2022 
    Metric Low  High 
           
    RevPAR $171  $174 
    RevPAR change vs. 2019  (9)%  (7)%
           
    Net income $6  $26 
    Net income attributable to stockholders $0  $20 
    Earnings per share – Diluted(1) $0.00  $0.09 
           
    Adjusted EBITDA $145  $165 
    Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin  26.0%  27.0%
    Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin change vs. 2019  (260) bps   (160) bps 
    Adjusted FFO per share – Diluted(1) $0.34  $0.43 
    (1) Per share amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers.     

    Q3 2022 outlook is based in part on the following assumptions:

    • Fully diluted weighted average shares are expected to be 224 million; and
    • Does not take into account potential future acquisitions and dispositions, which could result in a material change to Park’s outlook.

    Park's Q3 2022 outlook is based on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company's control, including uncertainty surrounding any new disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic and other macro-economic factors, including inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions and the possibility of an economic recession or slowdown in 2022, all of which are subject to change.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to Park’s current expectations regarding the performance of its business, financial results, liquidity and capital resources, including expected dates that its hotels will break even or achieve positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, the impact to the Company's business and financial condition and that of its hotel management companies, measures being taken in response to COVID-19, the impact from macroeconomic factors (including inflation, increases in interest rates, potential economic slowdown or a recession and geopolitical conflicts), the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations, the expected completion of anticipated dispositions, the declaration and payment of future dividends and other non-historical statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, and in some cases, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “hopes” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words.

You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and Park urges investors to carefully review the disclosures Park makes concerning risk and uncertainties in Item 1A: “Risk Factors” in Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Park’s filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

    PARK HOTELS & RESORTS INC.
    DEFINITIONS

    Pro-forma

    The Company presents certain data for its consolidated hotels on a Pro-forma hotel basis as supplemental information for investors: Pro-forma Hotel Revenues, Pro-forma RevPAR, Pro-forma Total RevPAR, Pro-forma occupancy, Pro-forma ADR, Pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company presents Pro-forma hotel results to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of its hotels. The Company’s Pro-forma metrics exclude results from property dispositions that have occurred through August 3, 2022 and include results from property acquisitions as though such acquisitions occurred on the earliest period presented.

    EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin

    Earnings (loss) 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 (losses) from investments in affiliates.

    Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude:

    • 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; 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. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. 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. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. 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. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. 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.
