NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Note 1: Organization Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” and, exclusive of any subsidiaries, "Park Parent") 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 a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for United States (“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. 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. Park Parent owned 100 % of the interests of our Operating Company until December 31, 2021 when the business undertook an internal reorganization transitioning our structure to a traditional umbrella partnership REIT ("UPREIT") structure. Effective January 1, 2022, Park Parent became the managing member of our Operating Company and PK Domestic REIT Inc., a direct subsidiary of Park Parent, became a member of our Operating Company. We may, in the future, issue interests in (or from) our Operating Company in connection with acquiring hotels, financings, issuance of equity compensation or other purposes. 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, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2024. 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. 7 Table of Contents Reclassifications Certain line items on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 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, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024, contains a discussion of significant accounting policies. There have been no significant changes to our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2023. Note 3: Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisitions In March 2023, we acquired two parcels of land, adjacent to the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, for a purchase price of approximately $ 18 million, including transaction costs. We accounted for the purchase as an acquisition of an asset, and the entire purchase price was allocated to land. Dispositions In February 2023, we sold the Hilton Miami Airport hotel for gross proceeds of $ 118.25 million. We recognized a net gain of approximately $ 15 million, which is included in gain on sale of assets, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Note 4: Property and Equipment Property and equipment were: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (in millions) Land $ 2,995 $ 2,990 Buildings and leasehold improvements 5,872 5,814 Furniture and equipment 995 947 Construction-in-progress 264 341 10,126 10,092 Accumulated depreciation ( 2,685 ) ( 2,633 ) $ 7,441 $ 7,459 Depreciation of property and equipment was $ 65 million and $ 64 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized an impairment loss of approximately $ 5 million related to one of our hotels subject to a ground lease and our inability to recover the carrying value of the asset over the remaining lease term. Refer to Note 7: "Fair Value Measurements" for additional information. Note 5: Consolidated Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") and Investments in Affiliates Consolidated VIEs We consolidate VIEs that own three 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 8 Table of Contents are only available to settle the obligations of these entities. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following assets and liabilities of these entities: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (in millions) Property and equipment, net $ 207 $ 209 Cash and cash equivalents 15 17 Restricted cash 3 2 Accounts receivable, net 4 5 Prepaid expenses 2 3 Debt 202 202 Accounts payable and accrued expenses 10 11 Due to hotel manager 1 2 Other liabilities 4 3 Unconsolidated Entities Four of our hotels are owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which we hold an interest. These hotels are accounted for using the equity method and had total debt of approximately $ 702 million as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Substantially all the debt is secured solely by the affiliates’ assets or is guaranteed by other partners without recourse to us. Note 6: Debt Debt balances and associated interest rates as of March 31, 2024 were: Principal balance as of Interest Rate at March 31, 2024 Maturity Date March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (in millions) HHV Mortgage Loan (1) 4.20 % November 2026 $ 1,275 $ 1,275 Other mortgage loans Average rate of 4.37 % 2024 to 2027 (2) 384 385 Revolver (3) SOFR + 2.00 % (4) December 2026 — — 2025 Senior Notes (5) 7.50 % June 2025 650 650 2028 Senior Notes (5) 5.88 % October 2028 725 725 2029 Senior Notes (5) 4.88 % May 2029 750 750 Finance lease obligations 7.66 % 2024 to 2028 1 1 3,785 3,786 Add: unamortized premium 1 1 Less: unamortized deferred financing costs and discount ( 22 ) ( 22 ) $ 3,764 $ 3,765 _____________________________________ (1) In October 2016, we entered into a $ 1.275 billion CMBS loan secured by the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort (“HHV Mortgage 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 became callable by the lender in August 2022 with six months of notice. As of March 31, 2024, Park had not received notice from the lender. (3) Our revolving credit facility ("Revolver") permits one or more standby letters of credit, up to a maximum aggregate outstanding balance of $ 50 million, to be issued on behalf of us. As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $ 4 million outstanding on a standby letter of credit and $ 946 million of available capacity under our Revolver. (4) SOFR includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.1 %. 9 Table of Contents (5) In May and September 2020, our Operating Company, PK Domestic and PK Finance Co-Issuer Inc. ("PK Finance") issued an aggregate of $ 650 million of senior notes due 2025 (“2025 Senior Notes”) and an aggregate of $ 725 million of senior notes due 2028 (“2028 Senior Notes”), respectively. Additionally, in May 2021, our Operating Company, PK Domestic and PK Finance issued an aggregate of $ 750 million of senior notes due 2029 (“2029 Senior Notes”). Debt Maturities The contractual maturities of our debt, assuming the exercise of all extensions that are exercisable solely at our option, as of March 31, 2024 were: Year (in millions) 2024 (1) $ 60 2025 657 2026 1,563 2027 30 2028 725 Thereafter (2) 750 $ 3,785 _____________________________________ (1) Excludes the $ 725 million non-recourse CMBS loan ("SF Mortgage Loan") secured by two of our San Francisco hotels – the 1,921-room Hilton San Francisco Union Square and the 1,024-room Parc 55 San Francisco – a Hilton Hotel (collectively, the "Hilton San Francisco Hotels"). (2) Assumes the exercise of all extensions that are exercisable solely at our option. Debt Associated with Hotels in Receivership In June 2023, we ceased making debt service payments towards the SF Mortgage Loan secured by the Hilton San Francisco Hotels, which was due November 2023, and we received a notice of default from the servicer. The stated rate on the loan is 4.11 %; however, beginning June 1, 2023, the default interest rate on the loan is 7.11 %. Additionally, beginning June 1, 2023, the loan accrues a monthly late payment administrative fee of 3 % of the monthly amount due. In October 2023, the trustee for the SF Mortgage Loan filed a lawsuit against the borrowers under the SF Mortgage Loan. In connection with the lawsuit, the court appointed a receiver to take control of the Hilton San Francisco Hotels, which serve as security for the SF Mortgage Loan, and their operations, and thus, we have no further economic interest in the operations of the hotels. The receiver will operate and has authority over the hotels and, until no later than November 1, 2024, has the ability to sell the hotels. The court order contemplates that the receivership will end with a non-judicial foreclosure by December 2, 2024, if the hotels are not sold within the predetermined sale period. We derecognized the Hilton San Francisco Hotels from our consolidated balance sheet in October 2023 when the receiver took control of the hotels. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a gain of $ 14 million, which is included in gain on derecognition of assets in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The gain represents the accrued interest expense associated with the default of the SF Mortgage Loan, which results in a corresponding increase of the contract asset on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as we expect to be released from this obligation upon final resolution with the lender on the SF Mortgage Loan, in exchange for the transfer of ownership of the Hilton San Francisco Hotels. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract asset on our condensed consolidated balance sheets was $ 774 million and $ 760 million, respectively. The SF Mortgage Loan will remain a liability until final resolution with the lender is concluded and is included in debt associated with hotels in receivership on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. 10 Table of Contents Note 7: Fair Value Measurements We did not elect the fair value measurement option for our financial assets or liabilities. The fair values of our other financial instruments not included in the table below are estimated to be equal to their carrying amounts. The fair value of our debt and the hierarchy level we used to estimate fair values are shown below: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Hierarchy Level Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value (in millions) Liabilities: HHV Mortgage Loan 3 $ 1,275 $ 1,192 $ 1,275 $ 1,195 Other mortgage loans 3 384 361 385 365 2025 Senior Notes 1 650 652 650 652 2028 Senior Notes 1 725 712 725 713 2029 Senior Notes 1 750 699 750 702 The fair value of the SF Mortgage Loan, which has a carrying value of $ 725 million as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, was $ 718 million as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 6: "Debt" for additional information. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized an impairment loss related to one of our hotels due to our inability to recover the carrying value of the asset. The estimated fair value of the asset that was measured on a nonrecurring basis was: March 31, 2024 Fair Value Impairment Loss (in millions) Property and equipment (1) $ — $ 5 Total $ — $ 5 ____________________________________________________________________________________ (1) Fair value as of March 31, 2024 was determined to be zero as the hotel is subject to a ground lease and is not expected to produce positive cash flows over the remaining lease term. Note 8: Share-Based Compensation We issue equity-based awards to our employees pursuant to the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Employee Plan”) and our non-employee directors pursuant to the 2017 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2017 Director Plan”), both of which are amended and restated from time to time. The 2017 Employee Plan provides that a maximum of 14,070,000 shares of our common stock may be issued, and as of March 31, 2024, 6,423,353 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance. The 2017 Director Plan provides that a maximum of 950,000 shares of our common stock may be issued, and as of March 31, 2024, 244,343 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance. For both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $ 4 million of share-based compensation expense. As of March 31, 2024, unrecognized compensation expense was $ 33 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. The total fair value of shares vested (calculated as the number of shares multiplied by the vesting date share price) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $ 12 million and $ 6 million, respectively. 11 Table of Contents Restricted Stock Awards Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) generally vest in annual installments between one and three years from each grant date. The following table provides a summary of RSAs for the three months ended March 31, 2024: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested at January 1, 2024 982,585 $ 15.40 Granted 517,222 16.26 Vested ( 420,499 ) 16.73 Forfeited ( 20,375 ) 15.63 Unvested at March 31, 2024 1,058,933 $ 15.28 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 performance measure. Additionally, in November 2020, we granted special awards with vesting of these awards subject to the achievement of eight increasing levels of our average closing sales price per share, from $ 11.00 to $ 25.00 , over a consecutive 20 trading day period (“Share Price Target”). One-eighth of PSUs will vest at each date a Share Price Target is achieved and any PSUs remaining after a four-year performance period will be forfeited. As of March 31, 2024, six of the eight Share Price Targets were achieved and thus 75 % of the awards granted were vested. The following table provides a summary of PSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2024: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested at January 1, 2024 1,527,576 $ 19.72 Granted 590,483 17.75 Vested ( 337,283 ) 26.99 Forfeited ( 5,531 ) 19.63 Unvested at March 31, 2024 1,775,245 $ 17.69 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 36.0 % Dividend yield (1) — Risk-free rate 4.5 % Expected term 3 years _____________________________________ (1) Dividends are assumed to be reinvested in shares of our common stock and dividends will not be paid unless shares vest. 12 Table of Contents Note 9: Earnings Per Share The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”): Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (in millions, except per share amounts) Numerator: Net income attributable to stockholders, net of earnings allocated to participating securities $ 28 $ 33 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding – basic 209 220 Unvested restricted shares 2 1 Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted 211 221 Earnings per share – Basic (1) $ 0.13 $ 0.15 Earnings per share – Diluted (1) $ 0.13 $ 0.15 _____________________________________ (1) Per share amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers. Certain of our outstanding equity awards were excluded from the above calculation of EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Note 10: Business Segment Information As of March 31, 2024, 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 before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA from hotel operations, adjusted to exclude the following items that are not reflective of our ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business, and thus excluded from management's analysis in making day to day operating decisions and evaluations of our operating performance against other companies within our 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 we believe are not representative of our current or future operating performance. 13 Table of Contents The following table presents revenues for our consolidated hotels reconciled to our consolidated amounts and net income to Hotel Adjusted EBITDA: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (in millions) Revenues: Total consolidated hotel revenues $ 618 $ 628 Other revenues 21 20 Total revenues $ 639 $ 648 Net income $ 29 $ 33 Other revenues ( 21 ) ( 20 ) Depreciation and amortization expense 65 64 Corporate general and administrative expense 17 16 Impairment and casualty loss 6 1 Other operating expenses 21 20 Gain on sales of assets, net — ( 15 ) Gain on derecognition of assets ( 14 ) — Interest income ( 5 ) ( 10 ) Interest expense 53 52 Interest expense associated with hotels in receivership 14 8 Equity in earnings from investments in affiliates — ( 4 ) Income tax expense 1 2 Other gain, net — ( 1 ) Other items 3 6 Hotel Adjusted EBITDA $ 169 $ 152 The following table presents total assets for our consolidated hotels, reconciled to total assets: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (in millions) Consolidated hotels $ 9,073 $ 9,406 All other 12 13 Total assets $ 9,085 $ 9,419 Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies As of March 31, 2024, we had outstanding commitments under third-party contracts of approximately $ 91 million for capital expenditures at our properties. 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 a 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 provide that Hilton will 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 $ 8 million as of March 31, 2024 related to litigation with respect to an audit by the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”) of Hilton related to the sale of the Hilton Sydney in June 2015. This amount could change as the litigation of the ATO’s claim progresses. 14 Table of Contents
