Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am pleased with our second quarter results as the strategic investments we made in Key West and Orlando continued to bolster our performance, coupled with strong group and leisure demand trends at our hotels in Boston, Miami and New York, resulting in Comparable RevPAR growth of 2% compared to the second quarter of 2023. Group demand continues to improve with 2024 Comparable Group Revenue Pace up nearly 10% compared to the same time last year, driven by accelerated business demand, an increase in citywide events and strong convention calendars at our Boston, Chicago and New York hotels, especially in the third quarter where Comparable Group Revenue Pace is up nearly 13% and is expected to drive increased Comparable RevPAR growth relative to the second quarter.

Additionally, during the second quarter, we continued to execute our capital allocation strategies by extending our debt maturities by refinancing our $650 million of senior notes that were due in June 2025, advancing our efforts to dispose of non-core assets, and repurchasing nearly 1.7 million shares of our common stock for $25 million at a significant discount to our estimated net asset value. With current liquidity of nearly $1.4 billion, we remain laser-focused on creating long-term shareholder value by further strengthening our balance sheet, while reshaping our portfolio through non-core asset sales and investments back in our core portfolio with value-enhancing ROI projects and leverage-neutral share repurchases.”

Additional Highlights

  • In May 2024, issued $550 million of 7.000% senior notes due 2030 ("2030 Senior Notes") and amended the Company's existing credit agreement to include a new $200 million senior unsecured term loan facility due May 2027 ("2024 Term Loan"). Net proceeds from the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2024 Term Loan were used to repurchase or redeem all of the $650 million of 7.500% senior notes due in 2025 ("2025 Senior Notes"), and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes;
  • In June 2024, repurchased nearly 1.7 million shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $25 million, or an average purchase price of $15.01 per share;
  • In June 2024, made the decision to permanently close the Hilton Oakland Airport, which the Company anticipates will occur during the third quarter of 2024. In connection with that decision, the Company notified the ground lessor of the hotel of its termination of the ground lease on or about the date on which the hotel closes. The Hilton Oakland Airport incurred an EBITDA loss of $3 million for the trailing twelve months;
  • In July 2024, the joint ventures that own and operate the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines sold the hotel for gross proceeds of approximately $165 million, and the Company's pro-rata share of the gross proceeds was approximately $41 million, which was reduced by Park's portion of debt of approximately $17 million; and
  • In July 2024, paid its second quarter 2024 cash dividend of $0.25 per share to stockholders of record as of June 28, 2024 and declared its third quarter 2024 cash dividend of $0.25 per share to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2024, to be paid on October 15, 2024.

Changes in Park's 2024 Comparable RevPAR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, by hotel type were as follows:

  Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30,
  2024 vs 2023   2024 vs 2023
Resort 2.2 %   5.2 %
Urban (0.1 )   3.1  
Airport 6.5     6.0  
Suburban 5.5     6.9  
All Types 2.0     4.6  
           

Park continued to see improvements in demand as business travel accelerated and group demand continued to witness ongoing strength at its resort hotels and certain urban hotels, with Comparable group revenues for the second quarter of 2024 increasing by nearly 8% year-over-year. Comparable RevPAR growth for the second quarter was driven by increases at its resort hotels of over 2% year-over-year. RevPAR at the Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection, where full-scale renovations occurred between May 2023 and December 2023, increased nearly 215% compared to the second quarter of 2023, while the hotel achieved the highest food and beverage revenue quarter from group events. The Bonnet Creek Orlando complex continued to benefit from its transformative renovation, with RevPAR at the Signia Bonnet Creek hotel increasing 9% compared to the second quarter of 2023, driven by group demand for its Waterside Ballroom and renovated meeting space, while RevPAR at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando increased 11%, with rate increasing over 13%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Group revenues increased nearly 24% and 8% at the Signia Bonnet Creek hotel and Waldorf Astoria Orlando, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Certain of Park's urban hotels benefited from increased group business and citywide events, including the Hyatt Regency Boston and Hilton New York Midtown where group revenues increased nearly 24% and 15%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2023.

At the end of June 2024, Comparable Group Revenue Pace and room night bookings for 2024 increased nearly 10% and 5%, respectively, as compared to what 2023 group bookings were at the end of June 2023, with 2024 average Comparable group rates projected to exceed 2023 average Comparable group rates by approximately 5% for the same time period. Additionally, at the end of June 2024, Comparable Group Revenue Pace and room night bookings for 2025 increased over 7% and 3%, respectively, as compared to what 2024 group bookings were at the end of June 2023, with 2025 average Comparable group rates projected to exceed 2024 average Comparable group rates by approximately 4% for the same time period.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Park's current liquidity is nearly $1.4 billion, including approximately $950 million of available capacity under the Company's revolving credit facility ("Revolver"). As of June 30, 2024, Park's Net Debt was approximately $3.6 billion, which excludes the $725 million non-recourse CMBS Loan ("SF Mortgage Loan") secured by the 1,921-room Hilton San Francisco Union Square and 1,024-room Parc 55 San Francisco – a Hilton Hotel (collectively, the "Hilton San Francisco Hotels").

Following the repurchase or redemption of all the $650 million 2025 Senior Notes, which were due in June 2025, with proceeds from the issuance of the $550 million 2030 Senior Notes and the $200 million 2024 Term Loan in May 2024, and excluding the SF Mortgage Loan, the weighted average maturity of Park's consolidated debt is 3.6 years as of June 30, 2024.

______________________________________________

(1) The loan matures in August 2042 but became callable by the lender in August 2022 with six months of notice. As of June 30, 2024, Park had not received notice from the lender.
(2) Calculated on a weighted average basis.
(3) Park has approximately $950 million of available capacity under the Revolver.
(4) SOFR includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.1%.
(5) Excludes $157 million of Park’s share of debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures, which excludes approximately $17 million of Park's share of debt that was repaid in connection with the sale of the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines in July 2024.
(6) Excludes the SF Mortgage Loan, which is included in debt associated with hotels in receivership in Park's consolidated balance sheets. In October 2023, the Hilton San Francisco Hotels were placed into court-ordered receivership, and thus, Park has no further economic interest in the operations of the hotels.

Dividends

Park declared a second quarter 2024 cash dividend of $0.25 per share to stockholders of record as of June 28, 2024. The second quarter 2024 cash dividend was paid on July 15, 2024.

On July 26, 2024, Park declared a third quarter 2024 cash dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid on October 15, 2024 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2024. The declared dividends translate to an annualized yield of 6.6% based on recent trading levels. Park is currently targeting a pay-out ratio in the range of 65% to 70% of Adjusted FFO per share for the full year, which based on Park's current guidance, translates into an incremental top-off dividend to be declared during the fourth quarter of 2024.

______________________________________________

(1) Amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers.
 

Park's outlook is based in part on the following assumptions:

  • Includes 50 bps of RevPAR and $9 million of Hotel Adjusted EBITDA disruption from renovations at certain of Park's hotels, of which $8 million is associated with renovations at Park's Hawaii hotels;
  • Adjusted FFO excludes $60 million of default interest and late payment administrative fees associated with default of the SF Mortgage Loan for full-year 2024, which began in June 2023 and 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 2024 of 210 million; and
  • Park's Comparable portfolio as of July 31, 2024 and does not take into account potential future acquisitions, dispositions, including the Hilton Oakland Airport, or any financing transactions, which could result in a material change to Park’s outlook.

Park's full-year 2024 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, changes in interest rates and the possibility of an economic recession or slowdown, as well as the assumptions set forth above, all of which are subject to change.

PARK HOTELS & RESORTS INC.DEFINITIONS
 

ComparableThe Company presents certain data for its consolidated hotels on a Comparable basis as supplemental information for investors: Comparable Hotel Revenues, Comparable RevPAR, Comparable Occupancy, Comparable ADR, Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company presents Comparable hotel results to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of its hotels. The Company’s Comparable metrics include results from hotels that were active and operating in Park's portfolio since January 1st of the previous year and property acquisitions as though such acquisitions occurred on the earliest period presented. Additionally, Comparable metrics exclude results from property dispositions that have occurred through July 31, 2024 and the Hilton San Francisco Hotels, which were placed into receivership at the end of October 2023.

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 also 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. Further, the Company does not use or present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin as measures of liquidity or cash flows.

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) debt 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. Net Debt also excludes Debt associated with hotels in receivership.

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.
