Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. Reports First Quarter 2021 Results

TYSONS, VA (May 6, 2021) – Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“Park” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PK) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 and an operational update on COVID-19.

First quarter financial highlights include:

Additional highlights include:

Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am very encouraged by the momentum of improvement in our portfolio during the first quarter. Our hotels in drive-to markets continue to outperform and now our fly-to leisure hotels in Hawaii and Puerto Rico are exceeding our expectations, helping to drive consecutive monthly increases in occupancy through the first quarter and positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA in March. Looking forward, we are confident that the continued distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines, forecasts for robust economic growth and fiscal stimulus, and significant pent-up traveler demand will translate into a strong recovery for our portfolio over the back half of the year and into 2022 and beyond. Additionally, as evidenced by the recent sale of the W New Orleans – French Quarter in April 2021, our team continues to execute on our near-term priorities to return to profitability in 2021 and to de-leverage our balance sheet, push out maturities and improve financial flexibility to position Park for long-term success. We are excited about our outlook for the balance of the year, and we look forward to welcoming more of our guests back to our hotels and resorts.”

COVID-19 Action Plan Update

The following is an update on the actions Park and its hotel managers have taken during the first quarter and expect to take to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on its business:

The current status of Park’s hotels as of May 6, 2021 is as follows (for a list of status by hotel please see Park’s financial supplement):

Operational Update

Beginning in March 2020, Park experienced a significant decline in ADR, occupancy, and RevPAR associated with COVID-19 throughout its portfolio, which has resulted in a decline in Park’s operating cash flow. As distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine has accelerated, Park has seen improvement in leisure traveler sentiment, and as a result, an improvement in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR in recent months. Changes in Pro-forma ADR, Occupancy and RevPAR compared to the same periods in the prior years and Pro-forma Occupancy for Park’s 52 consolidated hotels were as follows:

Changes in Pro-forma ADR, Occupancy and RevPAR for each month in 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 and Pro-forma Occupancy for 2021 for only the consolidated hotels open during the entirety of each month were as follows:

As expected, strong demand trends continued in April 2021. Changes in Pro-Forma ADR, Occupancy and RevPAR for April 2021 compared to April 2020 for the 45 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of the month are preliminarily estimated to be 51.7%, 44.5% pts and 1,405.0%, respectively. Total Pro-forma occupancy for April 2021 for the 45 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of the month is preliminarily estimated to be 49.5%.

For March 2021, Park’s portfolio generated positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA with nearly half of Park’s open consolidated hotels achieving break-even levels. Park currently expects its portfolio to generate positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2021 and expects to reach break-even at the corporate level during the second half of 2021.

The Pro-forma Rooms Revenue mix for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for the 42 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of the first quarter of 2021 were as follows:

Park is seeing group demand recovering with lead volume continuing to increase, up from 50% of 2019 levels in January to 80% of 2019 levels in April.  In the quarter for the quarter bookings through March were better than expected, driven by smaller groups (up to 300 peak room nights) holding events in locations with fewer restrictions. Given the reopening momentum across the U.S., Park expects to see a return of larger groups late in the third quarter in select markets. Looking further out, group bookings for 2022 have increased each of the past two quarters, growing by over 110,000 room nights, or nearly 13%, since September 30, 2020 with acceleration following the approval of COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use in November 2020.

Domestic leisure transient demand grew significantly during the first quarter of 2021 as the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines accelerated and restrictions on international travel continued. The transient mix between business and leisure travelers for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for the 42 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of the first quarter of 2021 were as follows:

The current operating status for each of the Company’s key markets, segmented between leisure and other markets, is as follows:

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Park’s Net Debt as of March 31, 2021 was $4.5 billion. With total cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 of $868 million and $32 million of restricted cash, Park is maintaining higher than historical cash levels due to the continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19.  As a result of the proactive measures taken by Park’s team and its hotel managers to dramatically reduce costs, coupled with recent capital raises and proceeds from the sale of the W New Orleans – French Quarter in April 2021, Park believes it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its short-term liquidity obligations even though the Company’s opened hotels are operating at limited capacity and certain hotels continue to suspend operations.

Park’s total liquidity was $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2021, including $474 million of available capacity remaining on Park’s revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). Based on Park’s monthly burn rate in March 2021 of $26 million, which takes into account current operations from both open and suspended hotels and uses an accrual-based methodology, Park estimates it currently has over 50 months of liquidity available to meet its financial obligations. The estimated burn rate amount does not take into account capital expenditures, any possible alternative sources of revenue that may arise, any additional hotel property dispositions or any payment of future cash dividends, if any, or continued improvement in operations. Additionally, the estimated burn rate amount does not take into account any amount available to Park under existing or future debt facilities, or proceeds from issuance of any additional debt, equity or equity-linked securities.

Park continues to take proactive measures to reduce the burn rate from $42 million average per month in the fourth quarter of 2020 to $26 million in March of 2021.  As a result of these measures, coupled with expected continued leisure demand and the

continued distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, Park expects to break-even at the corporate level during the second half of 2021, with its portfolio expected to generate positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2021.

Park had the following debt outstanding as of March 31, 2021:

Dividends

As a precautionary measure in light of COVID-19, Park has suspended dividend payments following the payment of its first quarter 2020 dividend.

Full-Year 2021 Outlook

Given the continued economic uncertainty, travel restrictions and rapidly changing circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Park is not providing an outlook for full-year 2021 at this time.

The Company’s ability to predict future operating results is significantly impacted by the current COVID-19 pandemic. Park expects that the trends affecting the economy will continue to depress hotel operating results across the portfolio. The economic environment lacks sufficient clarity at this time to provide accurate guidance.

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.

The report also aligns certain Company ESG priorities with select United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, or UN SDGs. Additionally, four of Park’s hotels recently earned the prestigious ENERGY STAR certification in 2020 for superior energy performance, a certification that only 26 hotels in the United States earned in 2020. Park was also recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Most Responsible Companies in 2021, marking the second consecutive year that the Company has been recognized for its ESG initiatives.

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 the expected reopening dates for the Company’s hotels and dates that its properties will break even or achieve positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, 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.

COVID-19 has significantly affected the Company’s business, and the extent to which COVID-19 continues to affect the Company, its hotel managers, tenants and guests at the Company’s hotels will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its effect, the emergence of virus variants, the efficacy, availability and deployment of vaccinations and other treatments to combat COVID-19, including public adoption rates of COVID-19 vaccines, additional closures that may be mandated or advisable even after the reopening of certain of the Company’s hotels on a limited basis, whether due to an increased number of COVID-19 cases or otherwise, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified in the risk

7

factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.

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 May 6, 2021 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:

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.

15

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:

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 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.

16

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.
