Current wording
The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was attributable to (i) a cash inflow of $1.0 billion from the May 2026 Senior Notes Issuance during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and (ii) a cash outflow of $500 million for the repayment of the 2025 Senior Notes during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in net cash used was partially offset by (i) net borrowings of $290 million under the Revolving Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and (ii) an increase of $143 million in cash outflows for share repurchases for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Previous wording
As of March 31, 2026, our total indebtedness, excluding the deduction for unamortized deferred financing costs and discount, was approximately $12.5 billion. No debt amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, which had an available borrowing capacity of $1,894 million after considering $106 million of letters of credit outstanding. In April 2026, we borrowed $265 million under the Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes and subsequently repaid $115 million of the outstanding indebtedness. For additional information on our total indebtedness and guarantees on our debt, refer to Note 4: "Debt" in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Previous wording
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt, we may be required to reduce capital expenditures or issue additional equity securities. However, we do not have any material indebtedness outstanding that matures prior to April 2027, and we believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity and access to debt markets to address all indebtedness at or prior to the respective maturity dates. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments and to pay interest on our debt depends on our future operating performance, which is subject to general conditions in or affecting the hospitality industry that may be beyond our control.
Current wording
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt, we may be required to reduce capital expenditures or issue additional equity securities. We do not have any material indebtedness outstanding that matures until April 2029, other than $600 million of outstanding senior notes due April 2027. We believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity and access to debt financing to address the repayment of the April 2027 Senior Notes at or prior to their maturity date as well as all indebtedness that becomes due thereafter. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments and to pay interest on our debt depends on our future operating performance, which is subject to general conditions in or affecting the hospitality industry that may be beyond our control.
Previous wording
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed the estimates and assumptions that we believe are critical because they involve a higher degree of judgment in their application and are based on information that is inherently uncertain in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to those critical accounting estimates that were previously disclosed.
