Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am extremely pleased by our fourth quarter results, which exceeded our expectations and guidance that we provided mid-December, and am encouraged by the positive trends continuing into early 2023. Group business continued to accelerate in the fourth quarter, with group revenue approximately 83% of the fourth quarter of 2019. Business transient demand continues to grow, and despite some seasonal moderation, leisure demand continued to improve at our urban markets. During the fourth quarter, average rates at our resort and airport hotels exceeded 2019 levels by 21% and 8%, respectively, while rate at our urban and suburban hotels exceeded 2019 levels by approximately 2%. Additionally, Park executed on its capital allocation priorities over the past year by completing $435 million of non-core asset sales and recycling this capital into repurchases of nearly $260 million of our common stock and repayments of over $100 million of debt, while also amending and extending our Revolver, further improving the Company's financial flexibility. Looking ahead into 2023, I am excited by the continued positive momentum across our portfolio, with improving city-wide calendars and the return of international travel. We currently do not see recession concerns making a significant impact on our business, and we remain well positioned with approximately $1.9 billion of liquidity to ramp up our dividend distributions and ROI capex spend this year while prudently making opportunistic investments, whether it be additional share repurchases or acquisitions."

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Park’s Net Debt as of December 31, 2022 was $3.9 billion. In December 2022, Park amended and restated the Revolver, which extended its maturity date to December 2026 and increased aggregate commitments from $901 million to $950 million, of which $50 million, together with cash on hand, was used to fully repay the remaining $78 million outstanding on its sole remaining corporate term loan. The amended agreement adjusted certain financial covenants to revised levels through the end of the first quarter of 2024, allows Park to conduct share repurchases, subject to compliance with the financial covenants, and released all collateral securing the credit facility and senior notes. It also placed restrictions on the Company, including Park’s ability to grant liens on certain properties, mergers, affiliate transactions, asset sales and the payment of dividends and distributions (except to the extent required to maintain REIT status and certain other agreed exceptions).
In addition, Park fully repaid the $26 million mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Checkers Los Angeles in December 2022 and expects to fully repay the $75 million mortgage loan secured by the W Chicago – City Center (due in August 2023) in May 2023 with available cash on hand. In February 2023, Park fully repaid the $50 million outstanding under the Revolver with a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Hilton Miami Airport.
Park has no significant maturities until the fourth quarter of 2023. Park is currently exploring various financing options for the $725 million mortgage loan secured by the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Parc 55 Hotel San Francisco due in November 2023, and expects to have the matter addressed before the third quarter of 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the weighted average maturity of Park's consolidated debt is 3.8 years. Park's current liquidity is approximately $1.9 billion, including approximately $950 million of available capacity under the Company's Revolver.

Dividends and Share Repurchases
Park declared a fourth quarter 2022 cash dividend of $0.25 per share to stockholders of record as of December 30, 2022. The fourth quarter 2022 cash dividend was paid on January 17, 2023.
Park plans to declare its first quarter 2023 cash dividend in March 2023, which is currently expected to be $0.15 per share, subject to approval by its Board of Directors ("Board").
During 2022, Park repurchased 12.7 million shares at an average price of $17.82 per share, or $227 million, with an additional 2.5 million shares repurchased in January 2023 at an average price of $11.64 per share, or $30 million.
On February 17, 2023, Park's Board terminated its stock repurchase program authorized in February 2022, which was set to expire in February 2024. The Board authorized and approved a new stock repurchase program allowing Park to repurchase up to $300 million of its common stock over a two-year period, starting on February 21, 2023 and ending on February 21, 2025, subject to any applicable limitations or restrictions set forth in Park's credit facility and indentures related to its senior notes. Stock repurchases may be made through open market purchases, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading programs, in privately negotiated transactions, or in such other manner that would comply with applicable securities laws. The timing of any future stock repurchases and the number of shares to be repurchased will depend upon prevailing market conditions and other factors, and Park may suspend the repurchase program at any time. No stock repurchases have been made to date under the new program.
Q1 2023 and Full-Year 2023 Outlook

Park's outlook is based in part on the following assumptions:
- Fully diluted weighted average shares are expected to be 222 million for both Q1 2023 and full-year 2023;
- The repayment of the $75 million mortgage loan secured by the W Chicago – City Center in May 2023;
- An increase in interest expense during the second half of 2023 upon extending the maturity date of the $725 million mortgage loan secured by the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Parc 55 Hotel San Francisco;
- The mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Denver City Center is not called by the lender during 2023;
- The removal of $4 million and $12 million, respectively, of Hotel Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 and full-year related to the sale of the Hilton Miami Airport;
- Includes $14 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
- Current portfolio as of February 22, 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 first quarter and full-year 2023 outlook are based on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company's control, including uncertainty surrounding macro-economic factors, including 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.
Supplemental Disclosures
In conjunction with this release, Park has furnished a financial supplement with additional disclosures on its website. Visit www.pkhotelsandresorts.com for more information. Park has no obligation to update any of the information provided to conform to actual results or changes in Park’s portfolio, capital structure or future expectations.
Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG")
In January 2023, Park published its 2022 Annual Corporate Responsibility Report ("CR Report") which includes Global Reporting Initiative ("GRI") and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB") indices as well as its Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") report. The 2022 CR Report details Park's energy, carbon, water and waste metrics and also highlights the Company's enhanced sustainability and corporate responsibility efforts, including the efforts related to Park's Diversity and Inclusion Steering Committee. Park also participated in the 2022 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark ("GRESB") assessment, ranking in the top 35% of all GRESB participant companies, increasing its score compared to the pre-pandemic 2020 results. Compared to 2021, Park's ranking declined slightly due to drastic fluctuations in utility consumption across its portfolio from properties reopening and being utilized to a greater capacity. Additionally, in 2022, Park was recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Most Responsible Companies for the third consecutive year, ranking in the top third of all selected companies, and Park received the 2022 Nareit Leader in the Light Award for the hospitality sector. Five of Park's properties were awarded the ENERGY STAR® Certification for Superior Energy Efficiency, including Park's largest hotel, the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, and 85% of Park's portfolio was Google Eco-certified via Hilton's LightStay program.
Park formalized and strengthened oversight over its ESG activities by renaming two of its Board-level committees to more accurately reflect how ESG is embedded in Park's governance policies and establishing an executive-level ESG committee to develop, implement and monitor Park's ESG initiatives and policies. The executive-level ESG committee provides oversight of Park's three dedicated ESG working committees – the Green Park Committee, the Park Cares Committee, and the Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee. ESG performance targets were also embedded into executive performance objectives and compensation.

PARK HOTELS & RESORTS INC.
DEFINITIONS
Comparable Hotels
The Company presents certain data for its consolidated hotels on a Comparable basis as supplemental information for investors: Comparable Hotel Revenues, Comparable RevPAR, Comparable Total 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 exclude results from property dispositions that have occurred through December 31, 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 the following items that are not reflective of Park's ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business, and thus, excluded in 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. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for the period of suspended or reduced operations at certain of the Company'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 the period of suspended or reduced operations at certain of the Company'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 the period of suspended or reduced operations at certain of the Company'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.
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.
