During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude transaction and integration costs, and we recast prior-period results to provide comparability. The revised definition excludes transaction costs previously recognized in general and administrative expenses and integration costs. Previously, only transaction costs recognized in gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other and other income (loss), net were excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. As these costs may vary in frequency or magnitude, we believe the revised definition presents a more representative measure of our core operations, assists in the comparability of results, and provides information consistent with how our management evaluates operating performance. See "—Non-GAAP Measures" for an explanation of how we utilize Adjusted EBITDA, why we present it, and material limitations on its usefulness, as well as a reconciliation of our net income attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.

Previous wording

The decreases in the provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, were primarily due to a non-cash tax benefit as a result of the release of a valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets, partially offset by the earnings impact from both the sale of Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa and Casino and the UVC Transaction recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 11 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Current wording

The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily driven by the sales of Park Hyatt Zurich and Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk. The increase in the provision for income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily driven by the aforementioned sales as well as the earnings impact from both the sale of Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa and Casino and the UVC Transaction.

RevPAR increases at our comparable system-wide hotels during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, were driven by strong demand in leisure transient and group travel, most notably in Japan and Southeast Asia.
