Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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” or “Parent”) completed the spin-off of a portfolio of premium hotels and resorts that established Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. as an independent, publicly traded company.
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. 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 are structured as a traditional umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”). Park Parent is the managing member of our Operating Company, and PK Domestic REIT Inc., a direct subsidiary of Park Parent, is 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, our wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where we are the primary beneficiary. The 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”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances within these consolidated financial statements have been eliminated.
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.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, and interest applicable to major construction or development projects is capitalized. Costs of improvements that extend the economic life or improve service potential are also capitalized. Capitalized costs are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Costs for normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are generally as follows: buildings and improvements (8 to 40 years); furniture and equipment (3 to 8 years); and computer equipment and acquired software (3 years). Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life, based on the estimates above, or the lease term.
We evaluate the carrying value of our property and equipment if there are indicators of potential impairment. We perform an analysis to determine the recoverability of the asset’s carrying value by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows to the net book value of the asset. If it is determined that the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the asset, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value is recorded in our consolidated statements of operations within impairment losses. Fair value is generally estimated using valuation techniques that consider the discounted cash flows of the asset using discount and capitalization rates deemed reasonable for the type of asset, as well as prevailing market conditions, appraisals, recent similar transactions in the market and, if appropriate and available, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers.
If sufficient information exists to reasonably estimate the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation, including environmental remediation liabilities, we recognize the fair value of the obligation when the obligation is incurred, which is generally upon acquisition, construction or development and/or through the normal operation of the asset.
Assets Held for Sale
We classify a property as held for sale when we commit to a plan to sell the asset, the sale of the asset is probable within one year, and it is unlikely that action to complete the sale will change or that the sale will be withdrawn. When we determine that classification of an asset as held for sale is appropriate, we cease recording depreciation for the asset and value the property at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. Further, the related assets and liabilities of the held for sale property will be classified as assets and liabilities held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets. Any gains on sales of properties are recognized at the time of sale or deferred and recognized innet (loss) incomein subsequent periods as any relevant conditions requiring deferral are satisfied.
Investments in Affiliates
The consolidated financial statements include entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary. The determination of a controlling financial interest is based upon the terms of the governing agreements of the respective entities, including the evaluation of rights held by other interests. If the entity is considered to be a VIE, we determine whether we are the primary beneficiary, and then consolidate those VIEs for which we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. If the entity in which we hold an interest does not meet the definition of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest through our voting interests in the entity. We consolidate entities when we own more than 50 percent of the voting shares of a company or otherwise have a controlling financial interest. References in these financial statements tonet (loss) income attributable to stockholders do not include non-controlling interests, which represent the outside ownership interests of our consolidated, non-wholly owned entities and are reported separately.
We hold investments in affiliates that primarily own or lease hotels. Investments in affiliates over which we exercise significant influence, but lack a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method. We account for investments using the equity method when we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity, typically through a more than minimal investment.
Our proportionate share of earnings (losses) from our equity method investments is presented asequity in earnings from investments in affiliatesin our consolidated statements of operations. Distributions from investments in affiliates are presented as an operating activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows when such distributions are a return on investment. Distributions from investments in affiliates are recorded as an investing activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows when such distributions are a return of investment.
We assess the recoverability of our equity method investments if there are indicators of potential impairment. If an identified event or change in circumstances requires an evaluation to determine if an investment may have an other-than-temporary impairment, we assess the fair value of the investment based on accepted valuation methodologies, which include discounted cash flows, estimates of sales proceeds and external appraisals. If an investment’s fair value is below its carrying value and the decline is considered to be other-than-temporary, we will recognize an impairment loss inequity in earnings from investments in affiliates in our consolidated statements of operations.
Non-controlling Interests
We present the portion of any equity that we do not own in entities that we have a controlling financial interest (and thus consolidate) as non-controlling interests and classify those interests as a component of total equity, separate from total stockholders’ equity, on our consolidated balance sheets. For consolidated joint ventures with pro rata distribution allocations, net income or loss is allocated between the joint venture partners based on their respective stated ownership percentages. In addition, we include net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest innet (loss) incomein our consolidated statements of operations.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives primarily include an air rights contract. The air rights contract value is based on the present value of the difference between the contractual rental amounts and the market rental rates for similar contracts, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancellable term of the contract. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the contract.
We review all finite lived intangible assets for impairment when circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value in our consolidated statements of operations.
Asset Acquisitions
We consider an asset acquisition to occur when substantially all the fair value of an acquisition is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. In an acquisition of assets, we are not required to expense our acquisition-related costs, and goodwill is not assigned. We will account for the properties purchased as asset acquisitions by allocating the total cash consideration, including transaction costs, to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, respectively, on a relative fair value basis.
Business Combinations
We consider a business combination to occur when we take control of a business by acquiring its net assets or equity interests. We record the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests at fair value as of the acquisition date, including any contingent consideration. We evaluate factors, including market data for similar assets, expected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates and replacement cost for the assets to determine an appropriate fair value of the assets. Acquisition-related costs, such as due diligence, legal and accounting fees, are expensed in the period incurred and are not capitalized or applied in determining the fair value of the acquired assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities, when purchased, of three months or less.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash balances established as lender reserves required by our debt agreements and reserves for capital expenditures in accordance with certain of our management agreements.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided on accounts receivable when losses are probable based on historical collection activity and current business conditions.
Leases
We consider an arrangement to contain a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for compensation. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the present value of our fixed payment obligations. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of our lease obligations. Our operating leases may require fixed payments, variable payments based on a percentage of revenue or income, or payments equal to the greater of a fixed or variable payment. Variable payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our lease terms include renewal options that we are reasonably certain to exercise, and renewal options controlled by the lessor.
Fair Value Measurements—Valuation Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date (an exit price). We use the three-level valuation hierarchy for classification of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.
Level 3—Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
The classification of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety at the end of each reporting period.
Revenue Recognition
Our results of operations primarily consist of room rentals, food and beverage sales and other ancillary goods and services from hotel properties. Other revenues primarily relate to support services we provide to Hilton Grand Vacations (“HGV”). Hotel operating revenues are disaggregated into room revenue, food and beverage revenue, ancillary hotel revenue and other revenue on the consolidated statements of operations to illustrate how economic factors affect the nature, amount and timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. Rooms revenue is recognized over time when rooms are occupied and food and beverage revenue is recognized at a point in time when goods and services have been delivered or rendered. Ancillary hotel revenue and other revenue is generally recognized at a point in time as goods and services are delivered or rendered.
We assess if we are the principal or agent for certain ancillary services provided by third parties. If we are the principal, we recognize revenue based on the gross sales price. If we are the agent, we recognize revenue net of costs paid to service providers. Payment received for a future stay or event is recognized as an advance deposit, which is included inother liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Advance deposits are recognized as revenue when rooms are occupied or goods or services have been delivered or rendered to our customer. Our advance deposit balance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $127 million and $120 million, respectively, and are generally recognized as revenue within a one-year period. Additionally, we collect sales, use, occupancy and similar taxes at our hotels, which we present on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in our consolidated statements of operations.
Share-based Compensation
We recognize the cost of services received in share-based payment transactions with employees and non-employee directors as services are received and recognize a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital for equity classified awards. We account for any forfeitures when they occur.
The measurement objective for these equity awards is the estimated fair value at the grant date of the equity instruments that we will be obligated to issue when employees have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments. The compensation expense for an award classified as an equity instrument is recognized ratably over the requisite service period. The requisite service period is the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award.
Income Taxes
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 (and state) 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 consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 related to our REIT activities other than taxes related to our sale of built-in gain property (representing property held by us with an excess of fair value over tax basis on January 4, 2017). We will remain subject to California income tax on taxable sales of built-in-gain property until January 2027. Further, our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) are generally subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes (as applicable).
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year, to recognize the deferred tax assets and liabilities that relate to tax consequences in future years, which result from differences between the respective tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts, and to recognize tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the respective temporary differences or operating loss or tax credit carry forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The realization of deferred tax assets and tax loss and tax credit carry forwards is contingent upon the generation of future taxable income and other restrictions that may exist under the tax laws of the jurisdiction in which a deferred tax asset exists. Valuation allowances are provided to reduce such deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be ultimately realized.
We use a prescribed recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. For all income tax positions, we first determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If it is determined that a position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which adds guidance on providing qualitative and quantitative disclosures about certain costs and expenses. Although early adoption is permitted, we expect to adopt ASU-2024 03 on a prospective basis when the requirements become effective for the year ended December 31, 2027. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosures about the existing rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. We adopted this ASU on a prospective basis for the year-ended December 31, 2025 and incorporated any such material disclosures in Note 10: “Income Taxes” for additional information.
Note 3: Acquisitions, Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale
Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we acquiredtwo 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 May 2025, we sold the Hyatt Centric Fisherman’s Wharf, and in November 2025, we sold our ownership interest in the unconsolidated joint venture that owned and operated the Capital Hilton. We received total gross proceeds from all dispositions of $120 million, and proceeds for the Capital Hilton were reduced by $28 million for our share of the mortgage debt in the joint venture. We recognized a net gain of approximately $17 million for the sale of our consolidated hotel and for the sale of our interest in the Capital Hilton, which is included ingain on sale of assets, net, andother gain (loss), net, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations.
Additionally, in September 2025, we permanently closed the Embassy Suites Kansas City Plaza and terminated its ground lease and, on December 31, 2025, the ground leases for the DoubleTree Hotel Sonoma Wine Country and the DoubleTree Hotel Seattle Airport expired. These three properties were surrendered to their respective ground lessors.
In December 2024, the consolidated joint venture that owned the DoubleTree Hotel Spokane City Center sold the hotel for gross proceeds of approximately $35 million. Proceeds were used to repay the $14 million mortgage loan secured by the hotel, and after paying customary closing expenses, our pro-rata share of the remaining net proceeds was approximately $10 million. We recognized a gain of approximately $8 million, which is included ingain on sale of assets, net in our consolidated statements of operations.
In July 2024, the unconsolidated joint venture that owned and operated the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines sold the hotel for gross proceeds of approximately $165 million, and our pro-rata share of the gross proceeds was approximately $41 million, which was reduced by our portion of debt of approximately $17 million. We recognized a gain of approximately $19 million, which is included inequity in earnings from investments in affiliatesin our consolidated statements of operations.
Additionally, in August 2024, we permanently closed the Hilton Oakland Airport and subsequently terminated its ground lease, returning the property to the ground lessor.
In February 2023, we sold the Hilton Miami Airport hotel for gross proceeds of $118 million. We recognized a net gain of approximately $15 million, which is included ingain on sale of assets, net in our consolidated statements of operations.
Additionally, in June 2023, the ground lessor terminated the ground lease for the Embassy Suites Phoenix Airport hotel and, pursuant to an agreement, we received an early termination fee of approximately $4 million, which is included inother gain (loss), net in our consolidated statements of operations.

(1)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 withsix months of notice. As of December 31, 2025, we had not received notice from the lender.
Mortgage Loans
In October 2016, we entered into a $1.275 billion CMBS loan secured by the Hilton Hawaiian Village (“HHV Mortgage Loan”). The HHV Mortgage Loan bears interest at a fixed-rate and requires interest-only payments through its maturity date. The HHV Mortgage Loan may be partially or fully prepaid without penalty on or after May 1, 2026.
Our other mortgage loans all bear interest at fixed-rates. Certain of our mortgage loans require interest-only loan payments through their respective maturity dates, and the remaining mortgage loans require payments of both principal and interest on a monthly basis.
Credit Facilities
Revolver, 2024 Term Loan and 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loan
In September 2025, the Company and our Operating Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for an increase in the aggregate commitments for the senior unsecured revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) from $950 million to $1 billion, a new $800 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (“2025 Delayed Draw Term Loan”), which allows for up tothree draws through September 17, 2026, and the continuation of the $200 million senior unsecured term loan (“2024 Term Loan”). The Credit Agreement extended the Revolver’s maturity date to September 17, 2029, with an option to extend its maturity byone year as either (i) aone-year extension or (ii)two six-month extensions. The 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loan matures on January 2, 2030, with an option to extend its maturity by an additionalone-year period. The maturity date of the 2024 Term Loan remains May 14, 2027.
The Credit Agreement includes the option to increase the Revolver and increase or add new term loans under the Credit Agreement by up to $1 billion in the aggregate, subject to obtaining additional lender commitments and the satisfaction of certain customary conditions. Borrowings under the Revolver, the 2024 Term Loan and the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loan bear interest based upon the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement removed the previous credit spread adjustment on the Revolver and the 2024 Term Loan of 0.10%. We are subject to fees between 0.20% and 0.25% based on unused commitments under the Revolver, as well as a 0.25% ticking fee on the undrawn portion of the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loan. Additionally, the 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. Any outstanding standby letters of credit reduce the available borrowings on the Revolver by a corresponding amount. As of December 31, 2025, our all-in interest rate for the 2024 Term Loan was 5.93%, and there wereno borrowings outstanding under the Revolver or the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loan.
The Credit Agreement generally maintained the financial covenants under our existing credit agreement, including a maximum leverage ratio, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum secured leverage ratio, maximum unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value ratio and minimum unencumbered adjusted net operating income to unsecured interest coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement allows for our continued ability to conduct share repurchases, subject to compliance with the financial covenants. The Credit Agreement restricts certain activities of the Company, including our ability to grant liens on certain properties, mergers, affiliate transactions, asset sales and, in the event the Company is in default under the Credit Agreement, the payment of dividends and distributions (except certain limited exceptions including to the extent required to maintain REIT status).
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we capitalized $9 million of financing fees incurred related to the Revolver and $8 million related to the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loan. We will begin amortizing financing fees for the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loan when drawn upon. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we capitalized $2 million of financing fees incurred related to the 2024 Term Loan.
Senior Notes
2025 Senior Notes
In May 2020, our Operating Company, PK Domestic Property LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the 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”), which bore interest at a rate of 7.500% per annum. In May 2024, all of the 2025 Senior Notes were repurchased or redeemed using the proceeds from the $550 million of senior notes due in 2030 (“2030 Senior Notes”) and the 2024 Term Loan.
2028 Senior Notes
In September 2020, our Operating Company, PK Domestic and PK Finance issued an aggregate of $725 million of senior notes due 2028 (“2028 Senior Notes”). The 2028 Senior 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. The 2028 Senior Notes will mature on October 1, 2028. We may redeem the 2028 Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
2029 Senior Notes
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”). The 2029 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2021. The 2029 Senior Notes will mature on May 15, 2029.
We may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the indenture. On or after May 15, 2026, we may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
2030 Senior Notes
In May 2024, our Operating Company, PK Domestic and PK Finance issued an aggregate of $550 million of 2030 Senior Notes. Net proceeds from the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2024 Term Loan were used to repurchase or redeem all of the 2025 Senior Notes, and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes. The 2030 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.000% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning February 1, 2025. The 2030 Senior Notes will mature on February 1, 2030. We capitalized approximately $9 million of issuance costs during the year ended December 31, 2024.
We may redeem the 2030 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the indenture. On or after August 1, 2028, we may redeem the 2030 Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Indentures
The 2028 Senior Notes, 2029 Senior Notes and 2030 Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) are guaranteed by Park Parent, PK Domestic REIT Inc., and by the subsidiaries of our Operating Company that also guarantee indebtedness under our credit facility. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The indentures governing the Senior 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 million, plus 95% of our cumulative Funds From Operations (as defined in the indentures), 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 indentures require 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.
Debt Maturities
The contractual maturities of our debt, assuming the exercise of all extensions that are exercisable solely at our option, as of December 31, 2025 were:
| Year | (in millions) |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $1,601 |
| 2027 | 230 |
| 2028 | 725 |
| 2029 | 750 |
| 2030 | 550 |
| $3,856 |
Debt Associated with Hotels in Receivership
In June 2023, we ceased making debt service payments towards the $725 million non-recourse CMBS loan (“SF Mortgage Loan”) secured by 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”), which was due November 2023, and we received a notice of default from the servicer. 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 served as security for the SF Mortgage Loan, and their operations, and thus, we had no further economic interest in the operations of the hotels. The receiver operated and had authority over the Hilton San Francisco Hotels until they were sold by the court-appointed receiver on November 21, 2025, and the SF Mortgage Loan was assumed by the buyer in connection with the sale. The stated rate on the loan was 4.11%; however, beginning June 1, 2023, the default interest rate on the loan was 7.11%. Additionally, beginning June 1, 2023, the loan accrued a monthly late payment administrative fee of 3% of the monthly amount due.
We derecognized the Hilton San Francisco Hotels from our consolidated balance sheet in October 2023, when the receiver took control of the hotels and, accordingly, recognized a gain of $221 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is included in gain on derecognition of assets in our consolidated statements of operations. Until the Hilton San Francisco Hotels were sold by the court-appointed receiver in November 2025 and the SF Mortgage Loan was assumed by the buyer, we recognized a gain of $58 million and $60 million, respectively, representing accrued interest expense associated with the default of the SF Mortgage Loan for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, with a corresponding increase of thecontract asset on our consolidated balance sheets. In November 2025, we derecognized the SF Mortgage Loan and associated accrued interest expense included indebt associated with hotels in receivership andaccrued interest associated with hotels in receivership, respectively, through and including the date of the sale, and the corresponding contract asset on our consolidated balance sheets.
Note 8: 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:
| December 31, 2025 · December 31, 2024 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hierarchy Level | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | |
| (in millions) | |||||

| 2030 Senior Notes | 1 | 550 | 564 | 550 | 559 |
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized impairment losses of approximately $318 million primarily related to nine of our Non-Core hotels, due to sales and the strategic decision to accelerate the disposition of our Non-Core hotels. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized impairment losses of $12 million related to two of our hotels subject to ground leases and our inability to recover the carrying value of the assets over the remaining lease term. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized an impairment loss of $202 million related to one of our hotels and in October 2023, that hotel, along with the other hotel securing our SF Mortgage Loan, were placed into receivership. Subsequently, this hotel, along with the other hotel securing our SF Mortgage Loan were sold in November 2025. Refer to Note 7: “Debt” for additional information.
The estimated fair value of the assets that were measured on a nonrecurring basis, categorized by the level of inputs used in the valuation of the assets, are shown below:
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025(1) | 2024(2) | ||
| Property and equipment: | |||
| Level 2 | $26 | $— | |
| Level 3 | 260 | 2 | |
| Total | $286 | $2 | |
(1)We determined fair value of certain assets based upon either a contracted sales price (Level 2) or, for assets held for sale, based upon contracted price less costs to sell (Level 2) as of December 31, 2025. Where the aforementioned inputs were not available, we estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis, with an estimated stabilized growth rate of 3.0%, discounted cash flow term of 10 years, or the term of the respective ground leases, terminal capitalization rates between 7.3% and 7.8% and discount rates between 10.0% and 15.0% (Level 3). The discount and terminal capitalization rates used for the fair values of these assets reflect the risk profile of the markets where the properties are located.
(2)We estimated fair value of the assets using a discounted cash flow analysis, with an estimated stabilized growth rate range of 2.0% to 3.0%, a discounted cash flow term of 10 years, and a discount rate ranging from 17.0% to 20.0% (Level 3). The discount rate used for the fair values of the assets reflected the risk profile of the markets where the properties are located.
Note 9: Leases
We lease hotel properties, land and equipment under operating and financing leases. We are subject to ground leases onnine of our consolidated properties as well as a lease for our corporate office. Our leases expire at various dates through 2083, with varying renewal options, and the majority expire before the end of 2034.
Our operating leases may require minimum rent payments, variable rent payments based on a percentage of revenue or income or rent payments equal to the greater of a minimum rent or variable rent. In addition, we may be required to pay some, or all, of the capital costs for property and equipment in the hotel during the term of the lease.
The future minimum rent payments under our current leases, due in each of the next five years and thereafter as of December 31, 2025, were:
| Operating Leases | |
|---|---|
| Year | (in millions) |
| 2026 | $23 |
| 2027 | 23 |
| 2028 | 23 |
| 2029 | 22 |
| 2030 | 22 |
| Thereafter | 282 |
| Total minimum rent payments | 395 |
| Less: imputed interest | 186 |
| Total operating lease liabilities | $209 |
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the weighted average remaining operating lease term was 24.8 years and 24.6 years, respectively, and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liabilities was 5.8% and 5.7% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The components of rent expense, which are primarily included inother property expensesin our consolidated statements of operations, as well as supplemental cash flow and non-cash information for all operating leases were:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|

(1)For the year ended December 31, 2025, amount represents a decrease to our right-of-use assets and lease liability due to changes in lease terms and payments as well as discount rate upon lease remeasurements. For the year ended December 31, 2024, amount represents an increase to our right-of-use assets and lease liability due to changes in lease term as well as discount rate upon lease remeasurements.
Note 10: Income Taxes
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 (and state) 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 consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 related to our REIT activities other than taxes related to our sale of built-in gain property. Our TRSs are generally subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes (as applicable).

For purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 1061, which is generally applicable to direct and indirect holders of “applicable partnership interests”: (i) the “One Year Amounts” are $0.000000 per share, and (ii) the “Three Year Amounts” are $0.000000 per share, with respect to the 2025, 2024 and 2023 capital gain distributions.
Note 11: 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 December 31, 2025,5,258,954 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance. An amendment and restatement of the 2017 Director Plan was approved by our stockholders in April 2025 to, among other changes, increase the number of shares available to be issued by 875,000, from 950,000 to 1,825,000. As of December 31, 2025,846,938 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $19 million, $19 million and $18 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation expense was $18 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The total fair value of shares vested (calculated as the number of shares multiplied by the vesting date share price) during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $12 million, $14 million and $7 million, respectively.
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 years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Performance Stock Units
Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) generally vest at the end of athree-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.
The following table provides a summary of PSUs for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:
| Number of Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested at January 1, 2023 | 1,198,325 | 20.71 |
| Granted | 590,805 | 19.96 |
| Forfeited | (261,554) | 24.80 |

| Forfeited | (27,070) | 14.74 |
| Unvested at December 31, 2025 | 1,866,254 | $15.63 |
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:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Expected volatility(1) | 33.0% | 36.0% | 48.0% |
| Dividend yield(2) | — | — | — |
| Risk-free rate(3) | 4.4% | 4.5% | 4.3% |
| Expected term | 3 years | 3 years | 3 years |
(1)Estimated using a blended approach of historical and implied volatility. Historical volatility is based on the historical movement of the Company’s stock price for a period that corresponds to the expected terms of the PSUs.
(2)Dividends are assumed to be reinvested in shares of our common stock and dividends will not be paid unless shares vest.
(3)Based on the yields of U.S. Department of Treasury instruments with similar expected terms of the PSUs at the grant date of each award.
Note 12: Earnings Per Share
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| (in millions, except per share amounts) | |||
| Numerator: | |||
| Net (loss) income attributable to stockholders | $(283) | $212 | $97 |
| Earnings attributable to participating securities | — | (1) | (2) |
| Net (loss) income attributable to stockholders, net of earnings allocated to participating securities | $(283) | $211 | $95 |
| Denominator: | |||
| Weighted average shares outstanding – basic | 199 | 207 | 214 |
| Unvested restricted shares | — | 2 | 1 |
| Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted | 199 | 209 | 215 |
| (Loss) earnings per share – Basic(1) | $(1.43) | $1.02 | $0.44 |
| (Loss) earnings per share – Diluted(1) | $(1.43) | $1.01 | $0.44 |
(1)Per share amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers and are calculated independently for each period presented.
Certain of our outstanding equity awards were excluded from the above calculation of EPS for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 13: Hotel Management Operating and License Agreements
Management and Franchise Fees
We have management agreements, whereby we pay a base fee equal to a percentage of total revenues, as defined, as well as an incentive fee if specified financial performance targets are achieved. Our managers generally have sole responsibility for all activities necessary for the operation of the hotels, including establishing room rates, processing reservations and promoting and publicizing the hotels. Our managers also generally provide all employees for the hotels, prepare reports, budgets and projections, and provide other administrative and accounting support services to the hotels. We have consultative and limited approval rights with respect to certain actions of our managers, including entering into long-term or high value contracts, engaging in certain actions relating to legal proceedings, approving the operating budget, making certain capital expenditures and the hiring of certain management personnel.
Our management agreements have initial terms ranging from 5 to 30 years and most allow for one or more renewal periods. Assuming all renewal periods are exercised by our hotel managers, the total term of our management agreements range from 5 to 70 years.
We also have franchise agreements forfive hotels. The franchise agreements have an initial term of 10 to 20 years and cannot be extended without the franchisor’s consent.
Marketing Fees
Additionally, the management and franchise agreements generally require a marketing fee equal to a percentage of rooms revenues. Total marketing fees were $41 million, $45 million and $47 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and were included inother departmental and support expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
Employee Cost Reimbursements
We are responsible for reimbursing our managers for certain employee related costs outside of payroll. These costs include contributions to a defined contribution 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan administered by our managers, union-sponsored pension plans and other post-retirement plans. All of these plans are the responsibility of our managers and our obligation is only for the reimbursement of these costs for individuals who work at our hotel properties.
Note 14: Business Segment Information
As a result of a shift in our business strategy during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we now operate our business through three operating segments, our consolidated Core hotels, consolidated Non-Core hotels and unconsolidated hotels. Only our consolidated Core hotels and consolidated Non-Core hotels are reportable segments. Our CODM, who is our chief executive officer, evaluates our consolidated Core and Non-Core hotels primarily based on hotel adjusted earnings (loss) before interest income and expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) when deciding how to allocate resources, in making other day-to-day operating decisions and evaluating our operating performance against other companies within our industry.
Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA from hotel operations and does not include the following items that are not reflective of our ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business, and thus excluded from the CODM’s analysis:
Gains or losses on sales of assets for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments;
Impairment losses and casualty gains or losses; and
The following tables present our reportable segment expenses, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to net (loss) income and reportable segment revenues reconciled to our consolidated amounts. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the change in our reportable segments:

Note 15: Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding commitments under third-party contracts of approximately $110 million for capital expenditures at our properties, of which $32 million relates to the transformative renovation at the Royal Palm, $18 million relates to guestroom, lobby, pool and exterior renovations at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort and $15 million relates to guestroom renovations at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. 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. Currently, we are in active litigation with a ground lessor who alleges breach of a ground lease(s) related to the Hilton Salt Lake City Center, DoubleTree Hotel San Diego - Mission Valley and/or DoubleTree Hotel Durango and against whom we allege, among other things, breach of the same ground lease(s). 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 December 31, 2025 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.
Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, Hilton remains subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations from 2011 through 2017, the year of our spin-off. Various income tax returns for Hilton filed with state, local and foreign jurisdictions remain subject to examination by the applicable taxing authorities.
