Current report

For the quarter, growth in comparable hotel Total RevPAR was broad-based, with improvements throughout the quarter and with markets both hosting and not hosting FIFA World Cup matches demonstrating solid revenue performance. Overall, growth was led by our Austin, Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia markets, with increases of 53.4%, 20.4% and 13.5%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the impact of large-scale renovation projects recently completed at certain properties and associated renovation disruption in 2025. In addition, our Maui market also had a strong performance compared to last year with an increase of 10.6%, due to the continued recovery from the 2023 wildfires. These strong performances were partially offset by comparable hotel Total RevPAR declines in our New Orleans and Denver markets of 5.6% and 5.2%, respectively, both impacted by less city-wide events and with the New Orleans Marriott further affected by its on-going renovation.

Current report

For the second quarter and year-to-date 2026, operating profit margin under GAAP was 17.9% and 18.6%, respectively, an improvement of 40 basis points and 90 basis points, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025, as improvements in rooms rates offset increases in wage expense and a $9 million and $12 million decrease in net gains on insurance settlements recognized during the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Comparable hotel EBITDA margin was 31.9% and 32.3% for the second quarter and year-to-date 2026, respectively, an improvement of 60 basis points for both periods, reflecting improvements in operations, largely driven by average room rate increases, which offset increases in wage expense, higher incentive management fees, and reductions in operating profit guarantee payments and attrition and cancellation fees over the same period in 2025.

Current report

Net income increased $16 million and $266 million for the quarter and year-to-date 2026, respectively, reflecting improved operations, which more than offset declines due to the sale of six hotels in 2025 and 2026, and year-to-date also benefited from an increase in gain on asset sales. These changes led to an increase in diluted earnings per share of $0.03, or 9.4%, and $0.39, or 58.2%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Adjusted EBITDAre, which excludes gain on asset sales, among other items, increased $29 million and $58 million for the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Adjusted FFO per diluted share increased $0.05, or 8.6%, and $0.09, or 7.4%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, reflecting the changes in Adjusted EBITDAreand additionally benefitting from share repurchases in 2025 and 2026.

Current report

Dispositions. During the second quarter, we sold the Sheraton Parsippany Hotel for $12 million, which includes approximately $3.5 million of FF&E funds retained by us.

Current report

For the second quarter and year-to-date 2026, transient revenue increased by 6.9% and 6.2%, respectively, reflecting an increase in average rates of 7.7% and 6.9% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, driven by leisure demand, particularly at our resorts, and in connection with the FIFA World Cup matches. In addition, group revenue increased by 7.4% and 4.8% for the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively, due to a combination of rate growth and an increase in room nights, driven by strong event-related demand and recently completed renovations.

Current report

(2)Reflects the sale of four hotels in 2026, including the sale of the Sheraton Parsippany Hotel in the second quarter, and one hotel in 2025.
Removed paragraphs (8)

Previous report

Comparable hotel Total RevPAR increased 4.6% for the first quarter, compared to 2025, primarily due to the rate increases and improvements in food and beverage revenues driven by strength in transient business and group contribution, as well as strong ancillary revenues. The growth was led by our San Francisco/San Jose market with an increase of 21.4%, driven by both rate and occupancy growth and benefitting from the Super Bowl. All of our Florida markets also delivered strong performances, particularly the Jacksonville and Miami markets with increases of 19.5% and 16.1%, respectively, in the first quarter. These strong performances were partially offset by comparable hotel Total RevPAR declines in our New Orleans and Washington, D.C. markets of 21.3% and 11.2%, respectively, both of which faced difficult comparisons due to special events hosted during the first quarter of 2025 and due to renovation disruption. Additionally, comparable hotel Total RevPAR in our Maui market increased just 1.6% and in our Oahu market declined 8.6%, both affected by the Kona Low rainstorm in March 2026.

Previous report

For the first quarter of 2026, operating profit margin under GAAP improved 150 basis points to 19.4%, primarily due to improvements in operations. Our comparable hotel EBITDA margin was 32.7%, an increase of 70 basis points compared to the same period in 2025, as improvements in average rates were able to offset an increase in wages expense.

Previous report

Net income increased $250 million, or 99.6%, for the quarter, primarily due to gains on the sale of assets, combined with the improvements in operations. These changes led to an increase in diluted earnings per share of $0.37, or 105.7%, for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDAre, which excludes gain on sale of assets, among other items, increased $29 million to $543 million, reflecting improvements in revenues from operations and the condominium sales, partially offset by an increase in wages and benefits. Adjusted FFO per diluted share increased $0.03 to $0.67 for the first quarter, reflecting the improvement in Adjusted EBITDAreand the impact of share repurchases in 2025 and 2026, partially offset by an increase in interest expense and income taxes, which are included in Adjusted FFO per diluted share but not Adjusted EBITDAre.

Previous report

Dispositions. During the first quarter, we sold the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort and the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole for a sales price of $1.1 billion. The proceeds are net of $23 million for the buyer's acquisition of the FF&E reserves. We also sold The St. Regis Houston during the first quarter for $51 million.

Previous report

Net gain on insurance settlements. During the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, we recorded a gain on insurance settlements of $7 million and $10 million, respectively, for business interruption proceeds received related to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Previous report

For the first quarter, transient revenue increased by 5.5%, reflecting growth in average room rates driven by leisure demand, particularly at our resorts. In addition, group revenue increased by 2.4% compared to 2025, due to a combination of rate growth of 1.7% and a 0.7% increase in room nights, driven by the Super Bowl and other city-wide events.

Previous report

At March 31, 2026, the Sheraton Parsippany Hotel was classified as held-for-sale. Therefore, the results of this hotel are also excluded from comparable hotel operating statistics and results.

Previous report

(2)Reflects the sale of three hotels in the first quarter of 2026.
Reworded paragraphs (42)

Previous wording

Total revenues increased $51 million, or 3.2%, as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to improvements in room revenues driven by strong leisure transient demand, coupled with increased out-of-room spend driving food and beverage and other revenues. In addition, $26 million of revenues were recognized during the first quarter of 2026 from the sale of four condominium units in the development adjacent to the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort. Results for the first quarter of 2026 also benefitted from a full quarter of operations following the reopening of The Don CeSar in March 2025. These increases were partially offset by the 2025 and 2026 dispositions of The Westin Cincinnati, Washington Marriott at Metro Center, St. Regis Houston, and the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort and the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole. Comparable hotel RevPAR increased 4.4% for the quarter, primarily due to an increase in average room rates of 3.9%, and a slight increase in occupancy compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting strength in both transient and group business.

Current wording

Total revenues increased $54 million, or 3.4%, and $105 million, or 3.3%, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2026, respectively, as compared to 2025. In the quarter, growth in revenues reflects a comparable hotel RevPAR increase of 7.0%, primarily due to an increase in room rates and a slight increase in occupancy, reflecting strong transient leisure business, particularly at resorts and in connection with the FIFA World Cup matches, and robust group business. Comparable hotel Total RevPAR increased 5.9% for the second quarter compared to 2025, reflecting the increase in rooms revenue and growth in food and beverage spend. However, the improvements in hotel operations were offset by the reduction of $95 million in revenues in the second quarter due to the 2025 and 2026 dispositions of The Westin Cincinnati, Washington Marriott at Metro Center, St. Regis Houston, the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort, the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole, and the Sheraton Parsippany Hotel. In addition, $53 million of revenues were recognized during the second quarter from the sale of seven villas in the development adjacent to the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort. Year-to-date, comparable hotel RevPAR and comparable hotel Total RevPAR increased 5.7% and 5.3%, respectively, and total revenues also benefitted from a full period of operations following the reopening of The Don CeSar in March 2025.

Previous wording

During the first quarter of 2026, strong leisure transient demand led to year-over-year comparable hotel RevPAR growth of 4.4%. Results reflect an increase in transient revenue driven by higher average rates and solid group demand. Expectations for the remainder of the year reflect a continuation of this trend in a stable operating environment, with leisure transient strength bolstered by special events, including the FIFA World Cup games, and modest improvements to short-term group booking trends. However, ongoing global conflict has introduced additional uncertainty around the macroeconomic backdrop and international travel.

Current wording

During the first half of 2026, strong leisure transient business, particularly at our resorts, and solid group demand contributed to year-over-year comparable hotel RevPAR growth of 5.7%. Results reflect transient revenue growth driven by higher average rates, which was bolstered by special events, including the FIFA World Cup games hosted in ten markets where our hotels are located. Expectations for the remainder of the year reflect continued strong expectations for leisure demand and modest improvements to short-term booking trends.

Previous wording

From a macroeconomic perspective, economic conditions during the first quarter of 2026 remained generally supportive of economic growth. High-end consumers, which represent the majority of the customers at our hotels, continue to benefit from rising stock and asset markets as well as increasing disposable incomes, which has allowed our properties to drive revenue growth. Looking ahead, the divided nature of the economic trends is expected to persist, with discretionary spending and travel demand continuing to be concentrated among higher-income households. At the same time, the conflict in the Middle East, coupled with elevated policy uncertainty domestically and the potential for higher-for-longer interest rates present downside risks to growth. The increased uncertainty during the first quarter of 2026 has led to a decline in the full year GDP growth forecasts, with real GDP now projected to grow by approximately 2.2%. However, business investment remains notably healthy at approximately 3.7%, according to the April 2026 Blue Chip Economic Indicators.

Current wording

From a macroeconomic perspective, economic conditions during the first half of 2026 remained generally supportive of economic growth. Higher-income consumers, who represent the majority of the customers at our hotels, continue to benefit from healthy household balance sheets, higher asset values and increasing incomes, which we believe should continue to support travel demand at our properties. Looking ahead, the divergence in consumer spending trends is expected to persist, with discretionary spending and travel demand remaining concentrated among higher-income households. According to the July 2026 Blue Chip Economic Indicators survey, real GDP is projected to grow by approximately 2.1% in 2026, with growth increasingly led by business investment, while consumer spending is expected to moderate. In addition, ongoing conflict in the Middle East may contribute to higher energy prices, renewed inflationary pressures and increased geopolitical uncertainty. These factors, together with trade policy developments and broader economic uncertainty, continue to present downside risks to economic growth and travel demand.

Previous wording

Hotel supply growth expectations remain below the historical average, although we expect to see above-average growth in a few markets where our hotels are located. Supply chain challenges, which may be exacerbated by current tariffs and trade policies, have resulted in new development project delays across the U.S. We anticipate that the construction pipeline will remain modest until macroeconomic uncertainty moderates and interest rates decline further.

Current wording

Hotel supply growth expectations remain below the historical average, although we continue to expect above-average growth in a limited number of markets where our hotels are located. We expect the lodging supply pipeline will remain relatively constrained until macroeconomic uncertainty moderates and the cost of financing and construction eases.

Previous wording

Based on the trends noted, we expect comparable hotel RevPAR growth for the full year 2026 will be between 3.0% and 4.5%. We expect year-over-year margin comparisons to moderate as the year progresses, primarily driven by lower rate growth expectations in the second half of the year.

Current wording

Based on the trends noted, we expect comparable hotel RevPAR growth for the full year 2026 will be between 4.75% and 5.25%. We expect year-over-year margin comparisons to moderate as the year progresses, primarily driven by lower room rate growth expectations in the second half of the year.

Previous wording

As discussed above, the current outlook for the lodging industry remains uncertain, reflecting varying analyst assumptions surrounding the impact of trade policy, elevated inflation and interest rates, concerns regarding U.S. economic growth, the current travel imbalance due to the decrease in inbound travel to the United States and ongoing geopolitical conflicts. Therefore, there can be no assurances as to lodging demand performance for any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, deteriorating macroeconomic conditions.

Current wording

As discussed above, the current outlook for the lodging industry remains uncertain due to the potential impacts of macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical conflicts. Therefore, there can be no assurances as to lodging demand performance for any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, deteriorating macroeconomic conditions or other factors that may adversely impact travel demand.

Previous wording

Capital Projects. Through the first quarter of 2026, we spent approximately $51 million on return on investment ("ROI") capital projects, including the transformation programs discussed below, and $71 million on renewal and replacement projects. We previously completed our restoration efforts at The Don CeSar following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and as of March 31, 2026, we have received total insurance proceeds of $81 million related to our claims, of which $31 million has been recognized as business interruption proceeds, including $7 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Current wording

Capital Projects. Year-to-date through the second quarter of 2026, we spent approximately $103 million on return on investment ("ROI") capital projects, including the transformation programs discussed below, and $140 million on renewal and replacement projects. We previously completed our restoration efforts at The Don CeSar following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and as of June 30, 2026, we have received total insurance proceeds of $82 million related to our claims, of which $31 million has been recognized as business interruption proceeds.

Previous wording

In collaboration with Hyatt, we initiated a transformational capital program in 2023 on six properties in our portfolio. These investments are intended to position the targeted hotels to compete better in their respective markets while seeking to enhance long-term performance. We expect to invest approximately $125 million to $200 million per year on this program through 2027, for a total investment of approximately $550 million to $600 million. Hyatt has agreed to provide additional priority returns on the agreed upon investments and operating profit guarantees totaling $40 million to offset expected business disruptions. Approximately 83% of the total estimated costs of the program have been spent as of March 31, 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, we completed the transformational renovation at the Hyatt Regency Reston.

Previous wording

For full year 2026, we expect total capital expenditures of $545 million to $655 million, consisting of ROI projects of approximately $250 million to $300 million and renewal and replacement expenditures of $275 million to $325 million. The full year ROI project spend includes approximately $175 million to $210 million for the Marriott and Hyatt transformational capital programs discussed above. Additionally, we have added estimated spend of $20 million to $30 million for restoration work at our Hawaii properties following the Kona Low rainstorm in March. Remediation efforts are substantially complete, and the hotels remained operational with isolated instances of water damage. We are still evaluating the complete property and business interruption impacts of the storm, but currently estimate the total property costs to be approximately $25 million to $35 million, which includes remediation costs of up to $5 million. We expect our insurance coverage to substantially cover the property damage in excess of our insurance deductible.

Current wording

We expect our insurance coverage to substantially cover the property damage in excess of our insurance deductible.

Previous wording

Construction continued in the first quarter on the development of 40 condominiums on a five-acre development parcel to be Four Seasons-branded and managed residences at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort. Construction of the mid-rise building was completed in 2025, and the villas are expected to be completed by June of 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, we spent $8 million in development costs for this project and expect full year 2026 development costs for this project to be approximately $15 million. We recognized $26 million of revenues from the sale of four condominium units during the first quarter of 2026.

Current wording

During the second quarter, we completed construction of 40 condominiums on a five-acre development parcel to be Four Seasons-branded and managed residences at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort. Year-to-date in 2026, we spent $16 million in development costs for this project, completing the villas and final stages of the project. We recognized $53 million of revenues from the sale of seven villas during the second quarter of 2026.

Previous wording

Total revenues for the first quarter increased 3.2% compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in room rates driven by strong leisure transient demand and continued strength in out-of-room spend driving food and beverage and other revenues, as well as the reopening of The Don CeSar in March 2025. Total revenues also benefited from $26 million of condominium sales recognized in the first quarter of 2026 from the sale of four condominium units in the development adjacent to the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort. These increases more than offset the reduction in revenues due to our 2025 and first quarter 2026 dispositions.

Current wording

Total revenues for the second quarter and year-to-date increased 3.4% and 3.3%, respectively, compared to 2025, as improvements in hotel operations were partially offset by the reduction of revenues due to the 2025 and 2026 dispositions. For the remaining portfolio, revenue growth was driven primarily by higher room rates, driven by strong transient leisure demand, particularly at resorts and in connection with FIFA World Cup matches, robust group business, and continued strength in out-of-room spend. Revenues also benefited from $53 million and $79 million of condominium sales recognized in the second quarter and year-to-date 2026, respectively, from the sale of condominium units in the development adjacent to the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort. Year-to-date results also benefitted from a full first quarter of results at The Don CeSar, which re-opened in March 2025.

Previous wording

Rooms. Total rooms revenues increased $5 million, or 0.5%, for the first quarter compared to 2025, reflecting an increase at our comparable hotels and contribution from the reopening of The Don CeSar in March 2025, partially offset by a reduction in rooms revenues due to our 2025 and first quarter 2026 dispositions. Rooms revenues at our comparable hotels increased $39 million, or 4.5%, for the quarter primarily due to an increase in average room rate of 3.9% driven by leisure transient demand, particularly at our resorts, and an increase in group business, benefitting from event-related demand.

Current wording

Rooms. Total rooms revenues increased $5 million, or 0.5%, and $10 million, or 0.5%, for the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively, compared to 2025, reflecting an increase at our comparable hotels, partially offset by a reduction in rooms revenues due to our 2025 and 2026 dispositions. Rooms revenues at our comparable hotels increased $62 million, or 7.1%, and $101 million, or 5.8%, for the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively, primarily due to an increase in average room rates of 5.8% and 4.9%, respectively, driven by leisure transient demand, particularly at our resorts, and an increase in group business, benefiting from strong event-related demand and completed renovations at our properties.

Previous wording

Food and beverage. Total food and beverage ("F&B") revenues increased $14 million, or 2.8%, for the first quarter compared to 2025, reflecting an increase in F&B revenues at our comparable hotels and contribution from the reopening of the Don CeSar, partially offset by a reduction in F&B revenues due to our 2025 and first quarter 2026 dispositions. F&B revenues at our comparable hotels increased $23 million, or 4.9%, which was driven by growth in outlet revenues from completion of ROI projects at several restaurant locations and growth in banquet and audio-visual revenues from strong group contribution.

Current wording

Food and beverage. Total food and beverage ("F&B") revenues increased $6 million, or 1.3%, and $20 million, or 2.0%, for the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively, compared to 2025, reflecting an increase in F&B revenues at our comparable hotels, partially offset by a reduction in F&B revenues due to our 2025 and 2026 dispositions. F&B revenues at our comparable hotels increased $26 million, or 5.8%, and $49 million, or 5.3%, for the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively, driven by growth in banquet and audio-visual revenues from strong group contribution.

Previous wording

Other revenues. Total other revenues increased $6 million, or 3.9%, for the first quarter compared to 2025, reflecting an increase at our comparable hotels and incremental revenues following the reopening of The Don CeSar, partially offset by the reduction in other revenues due to our 2025 and first quarter 2026 dispositions. Other revenues at our comparable hotels increased $8 million, or 5.7%, primarily due to an increase in golf, spa and other ancillary revenues.

Current wording

Other revenues. Total other revenues decreased $10 million, or 6.3%, and $4 million, or 1.3%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, compared to 2025, reflecting the reduction in other revenues due to our 2025 and 2026 dispositions. Other revenues at our comparable hotels remained relatively flat for the quarter, as increases in spa, golf and other ancillary revenues offset a decrease in attrition and cancellation fees from the prior year's elevated level of fees. Year-to-date at our comparable hotels, other revenues increased $7 million, or 2.4%, primarily due to an increase in spa, golf and other ancillary revenues.

Previous wording

Condominium sales. We recognized $26 million of revenues in the first quarter of 2026 from the sale of four condominium units in the development adjacent to the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort.

Current wording

Condominium sales. We recognized $53 million and $79 million of revenues in the second quarter and year-to-date 2026, respectively, from the sale of four condominium units in the first quarter and seven villas in the second quarter at the development adjacent to the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort.

Previous wording

Our operating costs and expenses, which consist of both fixed and variable components, are affected by several factors. Rooms expenses are affected mainly by occupancy, which drives costs related to items such as housekeeping, reservation systems, room supplies, laundry services and front desk costs. Food and beverage expenses correlate closely with food and beverage revenues and are affected by occupancy and the mix of business between banquet, audio-visual and outlet sales. However, the most significant expense for the rooms, food and beverage, and other departmental and support expenses is wages and employee benefits, which comprise approximately 58% of these expenses. For the first quarter of 2026, these expenses generally increased approximately 4.5% across our portfolio compared to 2025, primarily due to an overall increase in general wage rates and benefits. Wage and benefit rate inflation is expected to be approximately 5% in 2026.

Previous wording

Rooms. Rooms expenses decreased $1 million, or 0.4%, for the quarter, reflecting a reduction in rooms expense resulting from our 2025 and first quarter 2026 dispositions, partially offset by an increase at our comparable hotels. Our comparable hotels rooms expenses increased $6 million, or 2.9%, for the quarter driven by an overall increase in wage rates.

Current wording

Rooms. Rooms expenses decreased $2 million, or 0.9%, and $3 million, or 0.7%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, reflecting a reduction in rooms expense resulting from our 2025 and 2026 dispositions, partially offset by an increase at our comparable hotels. Our comparable hotels rooms expenses increased $10 million, or 4.6%, and $16 million, or 3.7%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, driven by an overall increase in wage rates.

Previous wording

Food and beverage. F&B expenses increased $4 million, or 1.2%, for the quarter, reflecting an increase in F&B expenses for our comparable hotels of $11 million, or 3.7%, and incremental expenses following the reopening of The Don CeSar in March 2025, partially offset by a reduction in F&B expenses due to our 2025 and first quarter 2026 dispositions. Expenses at our comparable hotels increased, reflecting increased F&B revenues, though overall, F&B costs as a percentage of revenues declined approximately 1% year over year as a result of productivity improvements.

Current wording

Food and beverage. F&B expenses decreased $2 million, or 0.6%, for the quarter and increased $2 million, or 0.3%, year-to-date, as the reduction in F&B expenses due to our 2025 and 2026 dispositions was mostly offset by an increase in F&B expenses at our comparable hotels of $16 million, or 5.5%, and $27 million, or 4.6%, respectively, and year-to-date also included incremental expenses following the reopening of The Don CeSar in March 2025. The increases at our comparable hotels reflect increased F&B revenues, though overall, F&B costs as a percentage of revenues declined slightly year-over-year as a result of productivity improvements.

Previous wording

Other departmental and support expenses. Other departmental and support expenses increased $9 million, or 2.5%, for the quarter, reflecting an increase at our comparable hotels partially offset by the reduction in expenses due to our 2025 and first quarter 2026 dispositions. The increase at our comparable hotels of $20 million, or 5.9%, was primarily due to higher wage expense.

Current wording

Other departmental and support expenses. Other departmental and support expenses decreased $4 million, or 1.1%, for the quarter and increased $5 million, or 0.7%, year-to-date, driven by a reduction in expenses due to our 2025 and 2026 dispositions, which were largely offset for the quarter and more than offset year-to-date by the growth at our comparable hotels. The increases at our comparable hotels of $21 million, or 6.1%, and $41 million, or 6.0%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, were primarily due to higher wage expense.

Previous wording

Management fees. Total management fees decreased $2 million, or 2.9%, for the quarter. Base management fees, which generally are calculated as a percentage of total revenues, were flat for the quarter as a slight increase at our comparable hotels was offset by the reduction in fees due to our 2025 and first quarter 2026 dispositions. Incentive management fees, which generally are based on the amount of operating profit at each hotel after we receive a priority return on our investment, decreased $2 million, or 8.0%, for the quarter, due to the reduction in fees due to our 2025 and first quarter 2026 dispositions, while incentive management fees increased $1 million, or 3.3%, at our comparable hotels.

Current wording

Management fees. Total management fees increased $4 million, or 5.7%, and $2 million, or 1.4%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Base management fees, which generally are calculated as a percentage of total revenues, remained flat for both the quarter and year-to-date. Incentive management fees, which generally are based on the amount of operating profit at each hotel after we receive a priority return on our investment, increased $4 million, or 15.4%, and $2 million, or 3.9%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Both base and incentive management fees were affected by an increase in fees at our comparable hotels, partially offset by the reduction in fees due to our 2025 and 2026 dispositions. The growth in incentive management fees for the second quarter was heightened as certain properties reached incentive thresholds due to improved operations. We anticipate the year-over-year growth in incentive management fees will moderate for the remainder of the year.

Other property-level expenses. These expenses generally do not vary significantly based on occupancy and include expenses such as property taxes and insurance.

Other property-level expenses were partially offset by the receipt of operating profit guarantees under the transformational capital programs in both 2026 and 2025.

Other property-level expenses were partially offset by the receipt of operating profit guarantees under the transformational capital programs in both 2026 and 2025.

As a REIT, Host Inc. is required to pay dividends to its stockholders in an amount equal to at least 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gain, on an annual basis. Host Inc.’s policy on common dividends generally is to distribute, over time, at least 100% of its taxable income, including capital gains. Following the February 2026 sale of the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort and the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole for a sale price of $1.1 billion, Host Inc.'s Board of Directors approved a $0.72 special dividend in the second quarter, to be paid on July 15, 2026, representing the distribution of the approximately $500 million taxable gain resulting from the sale. With a portion of the remaining proceeds, we repurchased $75 million of Host Inc. common stock through the first quarter of 2026. We will continue to weigh potential cash uses for the remaining proceeds, which may include, subject to market conditions, acquisitions, other investments in our portfolio, additional common stock repurchases or increased dividends, which dividends could be in excess of taxable income. Any additional special dividend will be subject to approval by Host Inc.’s Board of Directors.

Capital Resources. As of March 31, 2026, we had $1,703 million of cash and cash equivalents, $151 million in our FF&E escrow reserves and $1.5 billion available under the revolver portion of our credit facility. The payment of the first and second quarter regular dividend and the special dividend discussed above will reduce the cash balance by approximately $767 million. We depend primarily on external sources of capital to finance future growth, including acquisitions. As a result, the liquidity and debt capacity provided by our credit facility and the ability to issue senior unsecured debt are key components of our capital structure. Our financial flexibility, including our ability to incur debt, pay dividends, make distributions and make investments, is contingent on our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility and senior notes indentures, which include, among other things, the allowable amounts of leverage, interest coverage and fixed charges.
