Overview
Christopher J. Nassetta, President & Chief Executive Officer of Hilton, said, "We are pleased to report a solid second quarter, with an increase in RevPAR of 3.5%, driven by growth in all segments, with particularly strong group performance. On the development side, we ended the quarter with a record development pipeline, up 15% from the prior year and up 8% sequentially from the first quarter, including strategic partner hotels. Looking forward to the rest of the year, with the continued growth of our existing brands, as well as the addition of our new brands and strategic partner hotels, we expect net unit growth of 7.0 percent to 7.5 percent for the full year."
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, system-wide comparable RevPAR increased 3.5 percent compared to the same period in 2023 due to increases in both occupancy and ADR, and management and franchise fee revenues increased 10.0 percent compared to the same period in 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, system-wide comparable RevPAR increased 2.8 percent compared to the same period in 2023 due to increases in both occupancy and ADR, and management and franchise fee revenues increased 12.0 percent compared to the same period in 2023.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, diluted EPS was $1.67 and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, was $1.91 compared to $1.55 and $1.63, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net income and Adjusted EBITDA were $422 million and $917 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $413 million and $811 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, diluted EPS was $2.71 and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, was $3.44 compared to $2.31 and $2.86, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Development
In the second quarter of 2024, we opened 165 hotels, totaling 22,400 rooms, resulting in 18,000 net room additions. During the quarter, we continued to expand our lifestyle portfolio through our acquisition of the Graduate brand and added 32 hotels to our system with another four hotels added to our pipeline. Our first NoMad hotel joined our portfolio in the quarter, the NoMad London, which is ranked on the "World's 50 Best Hotels" list. We debuted three stunning Portuguese properties, the DUO Hotel Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton, the DoubleTree by Hilton Lagoa Azores and the Legacy Hotel Cascais, Curio Collection by Hilton. We opened 27 Spark by Hilton hotels during the quarter, including our first Spark hotel in the United Kingdom, and expect this momentum will continue into the second half of the year.
In July, we launched our partnership with SLH, enabling guests to book rooms at nearly 400 SLH hotels that are joining our system.
We added 62,700 rooms to the development pipeline during the second quarter, and, as of June 30, 2024, our development pipeline totaled 3,870 hotels representing 508,300 rooms, growing 15% from June 30, 2023 and 8% from the prior quarter. These pipeline hotels were located in 136 countries and territories, including 39 countries and territories where we had no existing hotels, with 251,800 rooms under construction and 298,800 rooms located outside of the U.S.(1)

Excluding hotels from our strategic partner arrangements, we added 44,500 rooms to the development pipeline during the second quarter, and, as of June 30, 2024, our development pipeline would have totaled 3,491 hotels representing 490,600 rooms, growing 11% from June 30, 2023 and 4% from the prior quarter. |
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
In June 2024, we amended the credit agreement governing our senior secured term loan facilities (the "Term Loans") pursuant to which $1.0 billion of outstanding Term Loans due June 2028 were replaced with $1.0 billion of Term Loans due November 2030, aligning their maturity with the outstanding $2.1 billion tranche of Term Loans due November 2030. Additionally, the entire balance of the Term Loans was repriced with a reduced interest rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 1.75 percent.
As of June 30, 2024, we had $10.3 billion of debt outstanding, excluding the deduction for deferred financing costs and discounts, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.81 percent. Excluding all finance lease liabilities and other debt of our consolidated variable interest entities, we had $10.1 billion of debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.80 percent and no scheduled maturities until May 2025. $500 million of outstanding debt is due in May 2025, and we believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity and access to debt financing to address such debt at or prior to its maturity date. As of June 30, 2024, no debt amounts were outstanding under our $2.0 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which had an available borrowing capacity of $1,913 million after considering $87 million of outstanding letters of credit. Total cash and cash equivalents were $802 million as of June 30, 2024, including $71 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents.
In June 2024, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock, for a total of $37 million, bringing total dividend payments for the year to $76 million. In August 2024, our board of directors authorized a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock to be paid on September 27, 2024 to holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on August 23, 2024.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 3.5 million shares of Hilton common stock at an average price per share of $205.68, for a total of $724 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 6.9 million shares of Hilton common stock at an average price per share of $201.02, returning $1,462 million of capital to shareholders, including dividends. Total capital return to shareholders including dividends year-to-date through August was $1,774 million.
The number of shares outstanding as of August 2, 2024 was 246.4 million.

Excludes expenditures for FF&E replacement reserves of $13 million and $15 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $24 million and $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. |

Includes $21 million of expenditures that were reimbursed to us by third parties for both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and $38 million and $39 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. |
(3) |
The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the timing of certain strategic hotel developments supporting our growth resulting in higher contract acquisition costs during the prior period. |

(1) |
Amounts represent the amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets that were recorded at fair value in 2007 when the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of affiliates of Blackstone Inc. The majority of the related assets were fully amortized as of December 31, 2023, some of which became fully amortized during the three months ended December 31, 2023. |
(2) |
Amount includes losses recognized related to equity and debt financing that we had previously provided to an unconsolidated affiliate with underlying investments in certain hotels that we currently manage or franchise. |
| (3) | Amounts include losses on debt guarantees for certain hotels that we manage, which were recognized in other non-operating income (loss), net. |
| (4) | Amounts include income tax expenses (benefits) related to the enactment of new tax laws and certain changes in unrecognized tax benefits. |
(5) |
Amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily relate to restructuring costs related to one of our leased properties, which were recognized in owned and leased hotels expenses, and transaction costs resulting from the amendment of our Term Loans, which were recognized in other non-operating income (loss), net. Amount for the six months ended June 30, 2024 also includes transaction costs incurred for acquisitions which were recognized in general and administrative expenses. Amounts for all periods include net losses (gains) related to certain of our investments in unconsolidated affiliates, other than the loss included separately in "loss on investments in unconsolidated affiliate," which were recognized in other non-operating income (loss), net. |

DEFINITIONS
Trailing Twelve Month Financial Information
This press release includes certain unaudited financial information for the trailing twelve months ("TTM") ended June 30, 2024, which is calculated as the six months ended June 30, 2024 plus the year ended December 31, 2023 less the six months ended June 30, 2023. This presentation is not in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that this presentation provides useful information to investors regarding our recent financial performance, and we view this presentation of the four most recently completed fiscal quarters as a key measurement period for investors to assess our historical results. In addition, our management uses TTM information to evaluate our financial performance for ongoing planning purposes.
Net Income (Loss), Adjusted for Special Items, and Diluted EPS, Adjusted for Special Items
Net income (loss), adjusted for special items, and diluted earnings (loss) per share ("EPS"), adjusted for special items, are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), diluted EPS or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our definition of net income (loss), adjusted for special items, and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Net income (loss), adjusted for special items, and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, are included to assist investors in performing meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means of highlighting the results of our ongoing operations.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Income (Loss) Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
EBITDA reflects net income (loss), excluding interest expense, a provision for income tax benefit (expense) and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including gains, losses, revenues and expenses in connection with: (i) asset dispositions for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments; (ii) foreign currency transactions; (iii) debt restructurings and retirements; (iv) furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") replacement reserves required under certain lease agreements; (v) share-based compensation; (vi) reorganization, severance, relocation and other expenses; (vii) non-cash impairment; (viii) amortization of contract acquisition costs; (ix) the net effect of our cost reimbursement revenues and expenses included in other revenues and other expenses from managed and franchised properties; and (x) other items.
Net income (loss) margin represents net income (loss) as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues, adjusted to exclude the amortization of contract acquisition costs and other revenues from managed and franchised properties.
We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) these measures are among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions and (ii) these measures 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 our industry. Additionally, these measures exclude certain items that can vary widely across different industries and among competitors within our industry. For instance, interest expense and income taxes are dependent on company specifics, including, among other things, capital structure and operating jurisdictions, respectively, and, therefore, could vary significantly across companies. Depreciation and amortization expenses, as well as amortization of contract acquisition costs, are dependent upon company policies, including the method of acquiring and depreciating assets and the useful lives that are assigned to those depreciating or amortizing assets for accounting purposes. For Adjusted EBITDA, we also exclude items such as: (i) FF&E replacement reserves for leased hotels to be consistent with the treatment of capital expenditures for property and equipment, where depreciation of such capitalized assets is reported within depreciation and amortization expenses; (ii) share-based compensation, as this could vary widely among companies due to the different plans in place and the usage of them; and (iii) other items that are not reflective of our operating performance, such as amounts related to debt restructurings and debt retirements and reorganization and related severance costs, to enhance period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations. Further, Adjusted EBITDA excludes the net effect of our cost reimbursement revenues and expenses, classified in other revenues from managed and franchised properties and other expenses from managed and franchised properties, respectively, as we contractually do not operate the related programs to generate a profit or loss over the life of these programs. The direct reimbursements from hotel owners are billable and reimbursable as the costs are incurred and have no net effect on net income (loss). The fees we recognize related to the indirect reimbursements may be recognized before or after the related expenses are incurred, causing timing differences between the recognition of the costs incurred and the related reimbursement from hotel owners, with the net effect impacting net income (loss) in the reporting period. However, the expenses incurred related to the indirect reimbursements are expected to equal the revenues earned from the indirect reimbursements over time, and, therefore, the net effect of our cost reimbursement revenues and expenses is not used by management to evaluate our operating performance or make operating decisions.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives, either in isolation or as a substitute, for net income (loss), net income (loss) margin or other measures of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flows, derived in accordance with GAAP. Further, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered as other methods of analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.
Net Debt, Long-Term Debt to Net Income Ratio and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
Long-term debt to net income ratio is calculated as the ratio of Hilton's long-term debt, including current maturities, to net income. Net debt is calculated as: long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding the deduction for unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts; reduced by: (i) cash and cash equivalents and (ii) restricted cash and cash equivalents. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated as the ratio of Hilton's net debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, presented herein, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate its financial leverage.
Net debt should not be considered as a substitute to debt presented in accordance with GAAP, and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio should not be considered as an alternative to measures of financial condition derived in accordance with GAAP. Net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio provide useful information about our indebtedness to investors as they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the indebtedness between companies.
Comparable Hotels
We define our comparable hotels as those that: (i) were active and operating in our system for at least one full calendar year, have not undergone a change in brand or ownership type during the current or comparable periods and were open January 1st of the previous year; and (ii) have not undergone large-scale capital projects, sustained substantial property damage, encountered business interruption or for which comparable results were not available. We exclude strategic partner hotels from our comparable hotels. Of the 7,682 hotels in our system as of June 30, 2024, six hotels were strategic partner hotels and 6,296 hotels were classified as comparable hotels. Our 1,380 non-comparable hotels as of June 30, 2024 included (i) 702 hotels that were added to our system after January 1, 2023 or that have undergone a change in brand or ownership type during the current or comparable periods reported and (ii) 678 hotels that were removed from the comparable group for the current or comparable periods reported because they underwent or are undergoing large-scale capital projects, sustained substantial property damage, encountered business interruption or comparable results were otherwise not available.
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 for a given period. Occupancy measures the utilization of available capacity at a hotel or group of hotels. 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") pricing levels as demand for hotel rooms increases or decreases.
ADR
ADR represents hotel room revenue divided by the total number of room nights sold for a given period. ADR measures the 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 industry, and we use ADR to assess pricing levels that we are able to generate by type of customer, as changes in rates charged to customers have different effects on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above.
Revenue per Available Room ("RevPAR")
RevPAR is calculated by dividing hotel room revenue by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. We consider RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of our performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key drivers of operations at a hotel or group of hotels, as previously described: occupancy and ADR. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods for comparable hotels.
References to occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are presented on a comparable basis, based on the comparable hotels as of June 30, 2024, and references to ADR and RevPAR are presented on a currency neutral basis, unless otherwise noted. As such, comparisons of these hotel operating statistics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 use the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the results of the Company's foreign operations within its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Pipeline
Rooms under construction include rooms for hotels under construction or in the process of conversion to our system.
