NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1: Organization and Recent Events
Organization
Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that owns a portfolio of premium-branded hotels and resorts primarily located in prime city center and resort locations. On January 3, 2017, Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (“Hilton”) completed the spin-off of a portfolio of hotels and resorts that established Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. as an independent, publicly traded company.
On May 5, 2019, the Company, PK Domestic Property LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company (“PK Domestic”), and PK Domestic Sub LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PK Domestic (“Merger Sub”) entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Chesapeake Lodging Trust (“Chesapeake”). On September 18, 2019, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Chesapeake merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”) and each of Chesapeake’s common shares of beneficial interest, $ 0.01 par value per share was converted into $ 11.00 in cash and 0.628 of a share of our common stock. No fractional shares of our common stock were issued in the Merger. The value of any fractional interests to which a Chesapeake shareholder would otherwise have been entitled was paid in cash.
We are treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax purposes, and we believe we have been organized and operated, and expect to continue to be organized and operate in a manner to qualify as a REIT. From the date of our spin-off from Hilton, Park Intermediate Holdings LLC (our “Operating Company”), directly or indirectly, has held all our assets and has conducted all of our operations. We own 100 % of the interests in our Operating Company.
Recent Events
The novel strain of coronavirus and the disease it causes (“COVID-19”) have had a significant effect on the hospitality industry and our business. The effects of COVID-19, including government restrictions such as mandated closings of non-essential businesses and travel restrictions, have severely reduced overall lodging demand. Since the beginning of March 2020, we have experienced a significant decline in occupancy and Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) associated with COVID-19 throughout our portfolio, which resulted in a decline in our operating cash flow. We expect that COVID-19 will continue to negatively affect our operating results for the remainder of 2020 and the early part of 2021.
During the first-half of 2020, we and our hotel managers took various actions to mitigate the effects of COVID-19, including temporarily suspending operations at 38 of our 60 hotels, limiting capacity at our hotels that remained open, deferring approximately $ 150 million of capital expenditures planned for 2020, suspending our dividend after the first quarter of 2020, and as a precautionary measure to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility, drawing on our $ 1 billion revolving credit facility (“Revolver”). We have since commenced a phased reopening of 26 of our hotels as restrictions are removed and demand returns. The timing of fully reopening these and the remainder of our hotels will depend primarily on government restrictions imposed or re-imposed, recommendations of health officials and market demand.
In May 2020, our Operating Company, PK Domestic and PK Finance Co-Issuer Inc. (“PK Finance”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued an aggregate of $ 650 million of senior secured notes due 2025 (“2025 Senior Secured Notes”). We set aside $ 350 million of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, further increasing our liquidity, and used the remainder of the net proceeds to repay portions of our Revolver and the term loan we entered into in December 2016 (“2016 Term Loan”).
In September 2020, our Operating Company, PK Domestic and PK Finance issued an aggregate of $ 725 million of senior secured notes due 2028 (“2028 Senior Secured Notes”). Net proceeds were used to repay the $ 631 million remaining balance outstanding under the 2016 Term Loan in full and to repay $ 80 million of our outstanding balance under the Revolver, which may be redrawn. Additionally, in September 2020, we further amended our credit facilities to, among other things, increase borrowing capacity of the Revolver, extend the maturity date with respect to $ 901 million of the aggregate commitments of the Revolver, extend the waiver period for the testing of the financial covenants and place certain additional restrictions on us. Refer to Note 7: “Debt” for additional information.
We are committed to using our liquidity to support our hotels’ operations during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery, while being focused on continuing to maintain and enhance our stockholders’ value.

Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All significant intercompany transactions and balances within the financial statements have been eliminated.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.
Reclassifications
Certain line items on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020, contains a discussion of the significant accounting policies. There have been no significant changes to our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2019.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 , “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which replaced the existing “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For trade and other receivables, the forward looking “expected loss” model will generally result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, which clarified that operating lease receivables accounted for under ASC 842 are not in the scope of ASU No. 2016-13. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13 and the related ASUs as of January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach, which resulted in no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided on accounts receivable for the expected credit loss over the life of the receivable based on historical credit losses, current business conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 (“ASU 2017-04”), Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . This ASU eliminates Step 2 from goodwill impairment testing. The goodwill impairment test will now consist of one step which compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reporting unit and we would recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value exceeds the fair value but only to the extent of the amount of the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We adopted the provisions of this ASU effective January 1, 2020.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles if certain criteria are met to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The ASU is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We used the following valuation methodologies, inputs and assumptions to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
•
Investment in hotel properties – The fair values of the land and improvements, buildings and improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment at the hotel properties were determined using a combination of the market, cost and income approaches. These valuation methodologies are based on significant Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy, such as estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, capital expenditures and cash flow projections at the respective hotel properties.
•
Intangible assets – The fair value of the air rights contract acquired as part of the Hyatt Regency Boston were determined using the present value of the difference between the contractual rental amounts according to the contract and the market rental rates for similar contracts, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancellable term of the contract. This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The intangible asset is amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the contract.
•
Above and below market lease liabilities – The fair value of our above and below market lease liabilities were determined using the present value of the difference between the contractual rental amounts paid according to the in-place lease agreements and the market rental rates for similar leased space, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancellable terms of the leases. This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The above and below market lease liabilities are included as adjustments to the right-of-use asset in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The above and below market lease liabilities are amortized as adjustments to ground rent expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
•
Operating lease right-of-use-asset and Operating lease liability – The fair value of the operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability were determined using the present value of the fixed contractual rental amounts due over a period equal to the remaining non-cancellable terms of the leases. This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
•
Debt – The fair value of the mortgage loans were determined using the present value of the remaining loan payments due over the term of the loans. This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
•
Restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to hotel managers and other liabilities – The amounts constitute the carrying amounts of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, which we believe approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred an additional $ 9 million in acquisition costs in connection with the Merger, primarily related to transfer taxes based on new information received during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred $ 59 million and $ 65 million, respectively, in acquisition costs in connection with the Merger primarily related to severance, transfer tax and fees for financial advisors, legal, accounting, tax and other professional services. The Merger-related costs noted above are included in acquisition costs in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $ 90 million of impairment losses, primarily related to one of our hotels, and our inability to recover the carrying value of the asset because of COVID-19. Refer to Note 8: “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information.
Hurricanes Irma and Maria
In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused damage and disruption at certain of our hotels in Florida and the Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico. The Caribe Hilton remained closed throughout 2018 and reopened on May 15, 2019. Our insurance coverage provides us with reimbursement for the replacement cost for the damage to these hotels, which includes certain clean-up and repair costs, exceeding the applicable deductibles, in addition to loss of business.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , w e recognized $ 23 million of insurance recoveries, of which $ 12 million related to property damage, $ 8 million related to business interruption, and $ 3 million related to expense reimbursements. Business interruption proceeds are included within ancillary hotel revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Additionally, we recognized a net loss of $ 7 million within impairment and casualty loss, net in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for amounts not expected to be recovered from insurance .

Note 5: Consolidated Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") and Investments in Affiliates
Consolidated VIEs
We consolidate three VIEs that own hotels in the U.S. We are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Additionally, we have the obligation to absorb their losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to them. The assets of our VIEs are only available to settle the obligations of these entities. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following assets and liabilities of these entities:

The affiliates in which we own investments accounted for under the equity method had total debt of approximately $ 943 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Substantially all the debt is secured solely by the affiliates’ assets or is guaranteed by other partners without recourse to us.
Note 6: Goodwill
Hilton allocated goodwill to us recorded as part of the acquisition of Hilton by Blackstone in 2007. We typically evaluate the carrying value of our goodwill annually. However, due to the effects of COVID-19, including (i) the significant decline in our common stock price, (ii) negative operating cash flows in the first quarter of 2020, (iii) the suspension of operations at certain of our hotels, and (iv) significant declines in occupancy and demand, we assessed goodwill during the first quarter of 2020. We determined that the carrying value of our consolidated and unconsolidated hotel reporting units exceeded their respective estimated fair value and fully impaired our remaining goodwill balance, recognizing an impairment loss of $ 607 million in the first quarter of 2020. Refer to Note 8: “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information.

In October 2016, we entered into a $ 725 million CMBS loan secured by the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and the Parc 55 Hotel San Francisco (“SF CMBS Loan”) and a $ 1.275 billion CMBS loan secured by the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort (“HHV CMBS Loan”).
(2)
Assumes the exercise of all extensions that are exercisable solely at our option. The mortgage loan for Hilton Denver City Center matures in 2042 but is callable by the lender beginning August 2022 .
(3)
We are actively negotiating a one-year maturity date extension for the $ 12 million loan secured by the Doubletree Spokane to October 2021 . The loan was not paid in full at its originally scheduled maturity date in October 2020 due to current market conditions. Failure to pay off the loan constitutes an event of default; however, we have not received, nor do we expect to receive, notice of the lenders’ intent to foreclose.
(4)
In September 2020, the 2016 Term Loan was fully repaid .
(5)
In May 2020, we amended our credit and term loan facilities which added a LIBOR floor of 25 basis points .
(6)
In September 2020, we increased our aggregate commitments under the Revolver by $ 75 million to $ 1.075 billion and extended the maturity date with respect to $ 901 million of the aggregate commitments for two years to December 2023 , including all $ 75 million of the increased Revolver commitments. The maturity date for the remaining $ 174 million of commitments under the Revolver is December 2021 .
Credit Facilities
2019 Term Facility
In advance of the Merger, in August 2019, the Company, our Operating Company and PK Domestic entered into a delayed draw term loan agreement (the “2019 Term Facility”). In September 2019, the 2019 Term Facility was fully drawn to fund the Merger and was partially repaid in December 2019. To hedge the interest rate risk on a portion of the 2019 Term Facility, we assumed an interest rate swap from Chesapeake in connection with the Merger, which is designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap requires us to pay fixed interest of 1.86 % per annum maturing on April 21, 2022 on a notional amount of $ 225 million, in exchange for floating rate interest equal to one-month LIBOR.
2016 Term Loan and Revolver
In March 2020, we fully drew down our $ 1 billion Revolver as a precautionary measure to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in connection with the economic effect of COVID-19. We subsequently repaid $ 399 million of the Revolver using $ 299 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes and 2028 Senior Secured Notes and $ 100 million of existing cash. We also used $ 631 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Senior Secured Notes to repay all of the amounts outstanding under our 2016 Term Loan.
12
In May 2020, in order to maintain compliance under our credit and term loan facilities in future quarters, we amended our credit and term loan facilities to suspend compliance with all existing financial covenants tested through and including March 31, 2021 and to adjust the levels of particular financial covenants after such period. In September 2020, we further amended our Revolver and 2019 Term Facility to extend the waiver period for the testing of the financial covenants to the date the financial statements are delivered for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. As part of the amendment process, we (i) increased commitments under the Revolver by $ 75 million to $ 1.075 billion and extended the maturity date with respect to $ 901 million of the aggregate commitments for two years to December 2023 , including all $ 75 million of the increased Revolver commitments, (ii) extended the temporary periods for which certain financial covenants are adjusted once quarterly testing of financial covenants resumes, (iii) increased the mandatory repayment carve out for equity issuances from $ 500 million to $ 1 billion, so long as proceeds from the issuances are used for capital expenditures and hotel acquisitions that become part of the unencumbered pool, (iv) maintained the existing guarantees by certain Park-affiliated entities until repayment of the Revolver and 2019 Term Facility and existing pledges of equity interests in Park-affiliated entities owning certain unencumbered assets during the extended waiver period and until the ratio of net debt to EBITDA falls below 6.50x for two consecutive quarters, (v) extended the minimum liquidity covenant through December 2022 and increased the minimum liquidity required to be maintained through December 24, 2021 from $ 200 million to $200 million plus 50 % of the Revolver commitments that mature in December 2021 (which minimum liquidity covenant amount as of September 30, 2020 was $ 287 million), (vi) obtained the ability to pay a $ 0.01 per share per fiscal quarter dividend during the extended waiver period and (vii) modified certain restrictions and covenants for the duration of the extended waiver period, including certain mandatory prepayments. We incurred $ 6 million of fees related to these amendments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 that were recognized as deferred financing costs.
Senior Secured Notes
2025 Senior Secured Notes
In May 2020, our Operating Company, PK Domestic and PK Finance issued an aggregate of $ 650 million of 2025 Senior Secured Notes. We set aside $ 219 million of the net proceeds to partially repay the Revolver, $ 69 million to partially repay the 2016 Term Loan and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.500 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2020. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes will mature on June 1, 2025 . We capitalized $ 13 million of issuance costs during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
We may redeem the 2025 Senior Secured Notes at any time prior to June 1, 2022 , in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date plus a make-whole premium. On or after June 1, 2022, we may redeem the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the indenture. On or after June 1, 2024 , we may redeem the 2025 Senior Secured Notes at 100 % of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, before June 1, 2022, we may redeem up to 40 % of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 107.500 % of the principal amount redeemed.
2028 Senior Secured Notes
In September 2020, our Operating Company, PK Domestic LLC and the PK Finance issued an aggregate of $ 725 million of 2028 Senior Secured Notes. The 2028 Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning April 1, 2021. Net proceeds were used to repay the 2016 Term Loan in full and to repay $ 80 million of our outstanding balance under the Revolver, which may be redrawn. We capitalized $ 13 million of issuance costs during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
We may redeem the 2028 Senior Secured Notes at any time prior to October 1, 2023 , in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date plus a make-whole premium. On or after October 1, 2023, we may redeem the 2028 Senior Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the indenture. On or after October 1, 2025 , we may redeem the 2028 Senior Secured Notes at 100 % of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, before October 1, 2023, we may redeem up to 40 % of the 2028 Senior Secured Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 105.875 % of the principal amount redeemed.

Indentures
Both the 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the 2028 Senior Secured Notes (collectively, the “Senior Secured Notes”) are guaranteed by us and by the subsidiaries of our Operating Company that also guarantee indebtedness under our credit facilities and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The Senior Secured Notes are secured, subject to permitted liens, by a first priority security interest in all of the capital stock of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of certain of the guarantors and PK Domestic, which collateral also secures the obligations under our credit and term loan facilities on a first priority basis. The indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes contain customary covenants that limit the issuers’ ability and, in certain instances, the ability of the issuers’ subsidiaries, to borrow money, create liens on assets, make distributions and pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock, make certain types of investments, sell stock in certain subsidiaries, enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates, issue guarantees of indebtedness, and sell assets or merge with other companies. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, including the ability to declare or pay any cash dividend or make any cash distribution to us to the extent necessary for us to fund a dividend or distribution by us that we believe is necessary to maintain our status as a REIT or to avoid payment of any tax for any calendar year that could be avoided by reason of such distribution, and the ability to make certain restricted payments not to exceed $ 100.0 million, plus 95 % of our cumulative Funds From Operations (as defined in the indenture), plus the aggregate net proceeds from (i) the sale of certain equity interests in, (ii) capital contributions to, and (iii) certain convertible indebtedness of the Operating Company. In addition, the indenture requires our Operating Company to maintain total unencumbered assets as of each fiscal quarter of at least 150 % of total unsecured indebtedness, in each case calculated on a consolidated basis.
CMBS and Mortgage Loans
We are required to deposit with lenders certain cash reserves for restricted uses. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our condensed consolidated balance sheets included $ 7 million and $ 13 million of restricted cash, respectively, related to our CMBS loans and mortgage loans. During the second and third quarters of 2020, we amended certain mortgage loan agreements to defer interest or interest and principal payments for three to six months and temporarily suspend required cash reserves.

Fair value of our property and equipment as of September 30, 2020 was measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). We estimated fair value of the assets using discounted cash flow analyses, with an estimated stabilized growth rate of 3 %, a discounted cash flow term between 1.7 to 10 years, terminal capitalization rate ranging from 7.25 % to 7.75 %, and discount rates ranging from 9.5 % to 12.5 %. The discount and terminal capitalization rates used for the fair value of the assets reflected the risk profile of the markets where these properties are located.
(2)
Fair value of our consolidated and unconsolidated hotel reporting units was measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which included discounted cash flows, terminal capitalization rates, and discount rates.
Note 9: Income Taxes
We are a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have been organized and operated, and we expect to continue to be organized and operate in a manner to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy requirements related to, among other things, the real estate qualification of sources of our income, the real estate composition and values of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders annually and the diversity of ownership of our stock. To the extent we continue to remain qualified as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income generated by our REIT activities that we distribute annually to our stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been included in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 related to our REIT activities, other than taxes related to our built-in gain property (representing property held by us with an excess of fair value over tax basis on January 4, 2017).
We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable sales of built-in gain property during the five-year period following the date of our spin-off. In addition, we are subject to non-U.S. income tax on foreign held REIT activities and certain sales of foreign investments. Further, our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) are generally subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes (as applicable).
15
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) included several tax provisions that may impact us and our subsidiaries, including:
•
the ability for our TRSs to carry back net operating losses (“NOLs”) arising in 2020 to all post spin-off taxable years preceding the taxable year of the loss;
•
an increase of the business interest limitation under Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) section 163(j) from 30 percent to 50 percent of adjusted taxable income for taxable years beginning in 2019 and 2020 and the addition of an election by taxpayers to use their 2019 adjusted taxable income as their adjusted taxable income in 2020 for purposes of applying the limitation;
•
a “technical correction” amending Code section 168(e)(3)(E) to add “qualified improvement property” to “15-year property” and assigning a class life of 20-years under section 168(g)(3)(B) to qualified improvement property under section 168(e)(3)(E)(vii), and
•
the elimination of the taxable income limit for NOLs for all taxable years beginning before January 1, 2021, thereby permitting corporate taxpayers to use NOLs to fully offset taxable income (although as a REIT we will continue to only be able to use NOLs against taxable income remaining after taking into account any dividends paid deduction).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $ 14 million of income tax expense, which is comprised of $ 14 million of built-in gains tax expense from assets sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $ 16 million of non-U.S. income tax expense on the gain from the entity that owns the Hilton São Paulo Morumbi that was sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by a TRS income tax benefit of $ 20 million from utilizing the NOL carryback provisions of the CARES Act. We expect $ 24 million of refunds related to the carryback of 2020 NOLs of our TRSs to prior years, as provided by the CARES Act.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $ 12 million of income tax expense primarily related to taxable income from our TRSs.
Note 10: Share-Based Compensation
We issue equity-based awards to our employees pursuant to the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2017 Employee Plan”) and our non-employee directors pursuant to the 2017 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (“2017 Director Plan”). The 2017 Employee Plan provides that a maximum of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock may be issued, and as of September 30, 2020, 4,512,900 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance. The 2017 Director Plan provides that a maximum of 450,000 shares of our common stock may be issued, and as of September 30, 2020, 80,530 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance. For both the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $ 4 million of share-based compensation expense, and $ 10 million and $ 12 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. As of September 30, 2020, unrecognized compensation expense was $ 22 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. The total fair values of shares vested (calculated as the number of shares multiplied by the vesting date share price) during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $ 17 million and $ 21 million, respectively.

Performance Stock Units
Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) generally vest at the end of a three-year performance period and are subject to the achievement of a market condition based on a measure of our total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder return of the companies that comprise the FTSE Nareit Lodging Resorts Index (that have a market capitalization in excess of $ 1 billion as of the first day of the applicable performance period). The number of PSUs that may become vested ranges from zero to 200 % of the number of PSUs granted to an employee, based on the level of achievement of the foregoing measure.
Additionally, in February 2020, we granted special awards with a one-year performance period that are subject to the achievement of a total shareholder return similar to the three-year awards, and, in addition, are subject to the achievement of a performance condition for certain cost synergies associated with the Merger. The number of PSUs that may become vested are zero if neither goal is achieved, 100% if one performance goal is achieved and 200% if both goals are achieved.
The following table provides a summary of PSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

The grant date fair values of the awards that are subject to the achievement of market conditions based on total shareholder return were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions:
Expected volatility (1)
22.0% - 23.0%
Dividend yield (2)
—
Risk-free rate
1.2% - 1.5%
Expected term
1 - 3 years
(1)
The weighted average expected volatility was 22.5 %.
(2)
Dividends are assumed to be reinvested in shares of our common stock and dividends will not be paid unless shares vest.
As of September 30, 2020, the achievement of the performance condition associated with the Merger cost synergies element of the special one-year awards was not probable and thus no compensation expense was recognized for the Merger cost synergies element for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Certain of our outstanding equity awards were excluded from the above calculation of EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 12: Business Segment Information
As of September 30, 2020, we have two operating segments, our consolidated hotels and unconsolidated hotels. Our unconsolidated hotels operating segment does not meet the definition of a reportable segment, thus our consolidated hotels is our only reportable segment. We evaluate our consolidated hotels primarily based on hotel adjusted earnings (loss) before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Hotel Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA from hotel operations, 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;
•
Casualty gains or losses;
•
Impairment losses; and
•
Other items that we believe are not representative of our current or future operating performance.
The following table presents revenues for our consolidated hotels reconciled to our consolidated amounts and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income:

Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies
As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding commitments under third-party contracts of approximately $ 23 million for capital expenditures at certain hotels. Our contracts contain clauses that allow us to cancel all or some portion of the work. If cancellation of a contract occurred, our commitment would be any costs incurred up to the cancellation date, in addition to any costs associated with the discharge of the contract.
We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums, and may make certain indemnifications or guarantees to select buyers of our hotels as part of the sale process. We are also involved in claims and litigation that is not in the ordinary course of business in connection with the spin-off from Hilton. The spin-off agreements indemnify us from certain of these claims as well as require us to indemnify Hilton for other claims. In addition, losses related to certain contingent liabilities could be apportioned to us under the spin-off agreements. In connection with our obligation to indemnify Hilton under the spin-off agreements, we have reserved approximately $ 7 million related to ongoing claims as of September 30, 2020 with respect to an audit by the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”) related to the sale of the Hilton Sydney in June 2015. This amount could change as more information becomes available about the progress of Hilton’s defense against the ATO’s claim.
