NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott,” and together with its subsidiaries “we,” “us,” or the “Company”). In accordance with the guidance for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements, references in this report to our earnings per share, net income, and shareholders’ equity attributable to Marriott do not include noncontrolling interests (previously known as minority interests), which we report separately.

The accompanyingThese condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). WeAlthough we believe our disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Youmisleading, you should however, read the condensed consolidated financial statements in this report in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2010, (“2009 Form 10-K”). Certain terms not otherwise defined in this quarterly reportForm 10-Q have the meanings specified in our 2009 Form 10-K.

The preparationPreparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates.

Our 2010 firstthird quarter ended on March 26,September 10, 2010; our 2009 fourth quarter ended on January 1, 2010; and our 2009 firstthird quarter ended on March 27,September 11, 2009. In our opinion, the accompanyingour condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 26,September 10, 2010, and January 1, 2010, and the results of our operations for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 10, 2010, and September 11, 2009, and cash flows for the twelvethirty-six weeks ended March 26,September 10, 2010, and March 27,September 11, 2009. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. We have eliminated all material intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these financial statements. We have also reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to our 2010 presentation.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards Resulting in Consolidation of Special Purpose Entities

On January 2, 2010, the first day of the 2010 fiscal year, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“FAS No. 166”)140,” or Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”Assets,” (“ASU No. 2009-16”) and Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), (“FAS No. 167”) or Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU No. 2009-17”).

WePrior to our adoption of these topics, we used certain special purpose entities to securitize Timeshare segment notes receivables, prior to the adoption of these topics, which we treated as off-balance sheet entities, and we retained the servicing rights and varying subordinated interests in the securitized notes. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles that existedGAAP in effect prior to fiscal 2010, we did not consolidate these special purpose entities in our financial statements because the securitization transactions qualified as sales of financial assets.

As a result of the adoption ofadopting both topics in the 2010 first quarter, we consolidated 13 existing qualifying special purpose entities associated with past securitization transactions. We recorded a one-time non-cash after-taxpretax reduction to shareholders’ equity of $146$238 million ($238 million pretax) in the

2010 first quarter, representing the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Including the related $92 million decrease in

deferred tax liabilities, the after-tax reduction to shareholders’ equity totaled $146 million. The one-time non-cash after-tax reduction to shareholders’ equity was approximately $41 million greater than thewe had estimated for this charge, as disclosed in our 2009 Form 10-K, primarily due to increased notes receivable reserves recorded for the newly consolidated notes receivable. TheThis increase in reserves was due to a change in estimate of uncollectible accounts based on historical experience. We now reserve for 100 percent of notes that are in default in addition to the reserve we record on the remaining notes.

We recorded the cumulative effect of the adoption of these topics to our financial statements in the 2010 first quarter. This consisted primarily of the reestablishment ofreestablishing notes receivable (net of reserves) that had been transferred to special purpose entities as a result of the securitization transactions, the elimination ofeliminating residual interests that we initially recorded in connection with those transactions (and subsequently revalued on a periodic basis), the impact of recording debt obligations associated with third-party interests held in the special purpose entities, and related adjustments to inventory balances accounted for using the relative sales value method. We adjusted the inventory balance to include anticipated future revenue from the expected resale of inventory that we expect to acquire when we foreclose on defaulted notes.

Our adoption ofAdopting these topics resulted inhad the following impacts inon our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 2, 2010: (1) assets increased by $970 million, primarily representing the consolidation of notes receivable (and corresponding reserves) partially offset by the elimination of the Company’s retained interests; (2) liabilities increased by $1,116 million, primarily representing the consolidation of debt obligations associated with third party interests; and (3) shareholders’ equity decreased by approximately $146 million. Our adoption ofAdopting these topics also impacted our income statement and resulted in higherby increasing interest income (reflected in Timeshare sales and services revenue) from notes sold which we classify within Timeshare sales and services in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and increasedincreasing interest expense from consolidation of debt obligations, partially offset by the absence of accretion income on residual interests that were eliminated. We do not expect to recognize gains or losses from future securitizations of our timeshare notes followingas a result of the adoption of these topics.

Please also see the parenthetical disclosures on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets regardingthat show the amounts of consolidated assets and liabilities associated with variable interest entities’entities (including Timeshare segment securitization variable interest entities) assets and liabilities that we consolidated.

Restricted Cash

We recorded restrictedRestricted cash totaling $115 million and $76 millionin our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the end of the 2010 firstthird quarter and year-end 2009 respectively, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheetsis recorded as $79$68 million and $54 million, respectively, in the “Other current assets” line and $36$28 million and $22 million, respectively, in the “Other long-term assets” line. Restricted cash primarily consists of cash held in a reserve account related to Timeshare segment notes receivable securitizations,securitizations; cash held internationally that haswe have not been repatriated due to accounting, statutory, tax and foreign currency risks,risks; and deposits received, primarily associated with timeshare interval, fractional ownership, and residential sales that are held in escrow until the contract is closed.

Fair Value Measurements

We have various financial instruments we must measure at fair value on a recurring basis, including certain marketable securities and derivatives. See Footnote No. 5, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” for further information. We also apply the provisions of fair value measurement to various non-recurring measurements for our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. 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 at the measurement date (an exit price). We measure our assets and liabilities using inputs from the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.),

and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about what factors market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We develop these inputs based on the best information available, including our own data.

Derivative Instruments

The designation of a derivative instrument as a hedge and its ability to meet the hedge accounting criteria determine how the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. A derivative qualifies for hedge accounting if, at inception, we expect the derivative is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the underlying hedged cash flows or fair value and we fulfill the hedge documentation standards are fulfilled at the time we enter into the derivative contract. We designate a hedge as a cash flow hedge, fair value hedge, or a net investment in foreign operations hedge based on the exposure we are hedging. The asset or liability value of the derivative will change in tandem with its fair value. We record changes in fair value, for the effective portion of qualifying hedges, in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). We release the derivative’s gain or loss from OCI to match the timing of the underlying hedged cash flows’items’ effect on earnings.

We review the effectiveness of our hedging instruments on a quarterly basis, recognize current period hedge ineffectiveness immediately in earnings, and discontinue hedge accounting for any hedge that we no longer consider to be highly effective. We recognize changes in fair value for derivatives not designated as hedges or those not qualifying for hedge accounting in current period earnings. Upon termination of cash flow hedges, we release gains and losses from OCI based on the timing of the underlying cash flows or revenue recognized, unless the termination results from the failure of the intended transaction to occur in the expected timeframe. Such untimely transactions require us to immediately recognize in earnings gains and losses previously recorded in OCI.

Changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity securities expose us to market risk. We manage our exposure to these risks by monitoring available financing alternatives, as well as through development and application of credit granting policies. We also use derivative instruments, including cash flow hedges, net investment in foreign operations hedges, fair value hedges, and other derivative instruments, as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to market risks. As a matter of policy, we only enter into transactions that we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk, and we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. See Footnote No. 5, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”Instruments,” for additional information.

 

2.New Accounting Standards

FAS No. 166 or ASU No. 2009-16 and FAS No. 167 or ASU No. 2009-17

We adopted FAS No. 166 or ASU No. 2009-16 onOn the first day of our 2010 fiscal year, we adopted ASU No. 2009-16, which amended FAS No. 140, “Accounting for TransfersTopic 860, “Transfers and Servicing, of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” by: (1) eliminating the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”); (2) clarifying and amending the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale; (3) amending and clarifying the unit of account eligible for sale accounting; and (4) requiring that a transferor initially measure at fair value and recognize all assets obtained (for example beneficial interests) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial assets accounted for as a sale. In addition, this topic requires us as a reporting entity this topic requires us to evaluate existingentities that had been treated as QSPEs (as defined under previous accounting guidance)guidance for consolidation in accordance withunder the applicable consolidationcurrent guidance. The topic requires us toalso mandates that we supplement our disclosures about, among other things, our continuing involvement with transfers of

We also adopted FAS No. 167 or ASU No. 2009-17 on the first day of our 2010 fiscal year, which changeschanged the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities (“VIEs”). ItThis topic also amendsamended the

guidance governing theon determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative, analysis rather than athe prior quantitative, analysis.analysis of the VIE. The new qualitative analysis includes, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct thethose activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This topic also requires continuous reassessments ofmandates that the enterprise continually reassess whether an enterpriseit is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously,VIE, in contrast to the applicableprior standard that required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only be reassessed when specific events had occurred. This topic now also expressly applies to QSPEs, which were previously exempt, from the application of this topic, are now subject to the provisions of this topic. The topic alsoand requires additional disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE.

See FootnoteAccounting Standards Update No. 1, “Basis2009-13 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU No. 2009-13”)

We adopted ASU No. 2009-13 in the 2010 third quarter and applied it retrospectively to the first day of Presentation”our 2010 fiscal year, as required by the guidance. ASU No. 2009-13 addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements (complex contracts or related contracts that require the separate delivery of multiple goods and/or services) by expanding the circumstances in which vendors may account for deliverables separately rather than as a combined unit. This update clarifies the guidance on how to separate such deliverables and how to measure and allocate consideration for these arrangements to one or more units of accounting. The previous guidance required a vendor to use vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price to separate deliverables in multiple-deliverable arrangements. In addition to retaining this guidance, in situations where vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence is not available, ASU No. 2009-13 requires a vendor to allocate arrangement consideration to each deliverable in multiple-deliverable arrangements based on each deliverable’s relative selling price. Our adoption did not have a material impact of the adoption of these topics.on our financial statements, and we do not expect it will have a material effect on our financial statements in future periods.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU No. 2010-06”)

We adopted certain provisions of ASU No. 2010-06 in the 2010 first quarter. TheseThose provisions of ASU No. 2010-06 amended Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall,” by requiring additional disclosures for transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, as well as requiring fair value measurement disclosures for each “class” of assets and liabilities, a subset of the captions disclosed in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. TheOur adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements or our disclosures, as we did not have anyhad no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and did not haveno material classes of assets and liabilities that required additional disclosure. See “Future Adoption of Accounting Standards” for the provisions of this topic applicablethat apply to future periods.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU No. 2010-09”)

We adopted ASU No. 2010-09 in the 2010 first quarter. ASU No. 2010-09 amended Subtopic 855-10, “Subsequent Events – Overall”Overall,” by removing the requirement for a United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registrant to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which that filer had evaluated subsequent events. Accordingly, we removed the related disclosure from Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation.” TheOur adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Future Adoption of Accounting Standards

ASU No. 2010-06 – Provisions Effective in the 2011 First Quarter

Certain provisions of ASU No. 2010-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, which for us will be our 2011 first quarter. TheseThose provisions, of ASU No. 2010-06, which amended Subtopic 820-10, will require us to present as separate line items all purchases, sales, issuances, and

settlements of financial instruments valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in the reconciliation forof fair value measurements, whereas currently these are presented in contrast to the current aggregate presentation as onea single line item. Although this may change the appearance of our reconciliation,fair value reconciliations, we do not believe the adoption will have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20 “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU No. 2010-20”)

ASU No. 2010-20 amends existing guidance by requiring more robust and disaggregated disclosures by an entity about the credit quality of its financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. These disclosures will provide financial statement users with additional information about the nature of credit risks inherent in our financing receivables, how we analyze and assess credit risk in determining our allowance for credit losses, and the reasons for any changes we may make in our allowance for credit losses. This update is generally effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, which for us is the 2010 fourth quarter; however, certain aspects of the update pertaining to activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010, which for us is the 2011 first quarter. We believe the adoption of this update will primarily result in increased notes receivable disclosures, but will not have any other impact on our financial statements.

3.Income Taxes

OurThe Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has examined our federal income tax returns, have been examined and we have settled all issues for tax years through 2004. We filed a refund claim relating to 2000 and 2001. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)IRS disallowed the claims, and in July 2009, we protested the disallowance. This issue is pending in the IRS Appeals Division. The 2005, 2006, 2007, and 20072008 field examinations have been completed, and the unresolved issues from those years are now also with the IRS Appeals Division. The Revenue Agent’s ReportIRS examinations for 2008 has been received and that year is in the process of being sent to Appeals. The 2009 and 2010 IRS examinations are ongoing as part of the IRS’s Compliance Assurance Program. Various state, local, and foreign income tax returns are also under examination by taxing authorities.

As noted inSee Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation,” we recorded afor additional information on the one-time non-cash pre-tax reduction to shareholders’ equity of approximately $238 millionand the related tax impact that we recorded in conjunction with theour first quarter 2010 adoption of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17 in the 2010 first quarter. That amount included a $92 million reduction in net deferred taxes.2009-17.

For the firstthird quarter of 2010, we decreased unrecognized tax benefits by $2 million from $224 million at the end of the 2010 second quarter. For the thirty-six weeks ended September 10, 2010, we decreased unrecognized tax benefits by $27 million (fromfrom $249 million at year-end 2009),2009, primarily representingreflecting the settlement of an unfavorable U.S. Court of Federal Claims decision involving a refund claim associated with a 1994 transaction. The settlement resulted in no further outlay of cash tax, and we do not anticipate any further cash tax payments for this issue. The unrecognized tax benefits balance of $222 million at the end of the 2010 firstthird quarter included $110$109 million of tax positions that, if recognized, would impact theour effective tax rate.

As a large taxpayer, we are under continual audit by the IRS and other taxing authorities. We anticipate concluding U.S. federal appeals negotiations for the 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 tax years in the next 12 months where the items under consideration include the taxation of our loyalty and gift card programs and the treatment of funds received from foreign subsidiaries. The conclusionConclusion of thethese negotiations could have a material impact on our unrecognized tax benefit balances.

 

4.Share-Based Compensation

Under our 2002 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan (the “Comprehensive Plan”), we award: (1) stock options to purchase our Class A Common Stock (“Stock Option Program”); (2) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) for our Class A Common Stock (“Stock Appreciation RightSAR Program”); (3) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of our Class A Common Stock; and (4) deferred stock units. We grant awards at exercise prices or strike prices that are equal to the market price of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant.

We recorded share-based compensation expense related to award grants of $27 million and $23 million for the twelve weeks ended September 10, 2010 and September 11, 2009, respectively, and $77 million and $73 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 10, 2010 and September 11, 2009, respectively. Deferred compensation costs related to unvested awards totaled $147 million and $122 million at September 10, 2010 and January 1, 2010, respectively.

RSUs

We granted 3.7 million RSUs during the first quarter ofthirty-six weeks ended September 10, 2010, to certain officers and key employees, and those units vest generally over four years in equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. TheRSUs granted in the first three quarters of 2010 had a weighted average grant-date fair value of the RSUs granted in the first quarter of 2010 was $27.

SARs

We granted 1.1 million SARs to officers and key employees during the 2010 first quarter.three quarters of 2010. These SARs expire 10 years after the date of grant and both vest and are exercisable in cumulative installments of one quarter at the end of each of the first four years following the date of grant. TheThese SARs had a weighted average grant-date fair value of these SARs was $10, and thea weighted average exercise price wasof $27.

To estimate the fair value of each SAR granted, we use a binomial method. Themethod, under which the weighted average expected SARs terms were aare calculated as the product of thea lattice-based binomial valuation model that uses suboptimal exercise factors to calculate the expected terms. Historicalfactors. We use historical data is used to estimate exercise behaviors for separate groups of retirement eligible and non-retirement eligible employees.

TheWe used the following assumptions forto determine the fair value of the Employee SARs granted during the first quarterthree quarters of 2010 are shown in the following table.2010.

TheIn making these assumptions, we based the risk-free rates are based on the corresponding U.S. Treasury spot rates for the expected duration at the date of grant, which we converted to a continuously compounded rate.

SARs granted duringrate, and we based the first quarter of 2010 utilized aexpected volatility on the weighted average historical volatility, wherewith periods with atypical stock movement were given a lower weight to reflect stabilized long-term mean volatility.

Other Information

At the end of the 2010 firstthird quarter, 65.663 million shares were reserved under the Comprehensive Plan, including 3633 million shares under the Stock Option Program and Stock Appreciation Rightthe SAR Program.

5.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We believe that the fair values of our current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts. The following table shows the carrying values and the fair values of non-current financial assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments, determined in accordance with thecurrent guidance for disclosures abouton the fair value of financial instruments.

We estimate the fair value of both our securitized long-term loans to timeshare owners and a portion of our non-securitized long-term loans to timeshare owners using a discounted cash flow model. We believe this model is comparable to whatthe model that an independent third party would be useduse in the current market by an independent third party.market. Our model uses default rates, prepayment rates, coupon rates and loan terms for the legallyour sold note portfolio as key drivers of risk and relative value, that when applied in combination with pricing parameters, determines the fair value of the underlying notes receivable. For thoseWe value certain non-securitized loans to timeshare owners that we do notat their carrying value, rather than using our pricing model, wemodel. We believe theirthat the carrying value of such loans approximates fair value asbecause the loans’ stated interest rates of these loans are consistent with current market rates and the reserve for these loans appropriately accounts for risks in default rates, prepayment rates, and loan terms.

We estimate the fair value of our senior, mezzanine, and other loans by discounting cash flows using risk-adjusted rates.

We estimate the fair value of our cost method investments by applying a cap rate to stabilized earnings (a market approach). The carrying value of our restricted cash approximates its fair value.

We estimate the fair value of our non-recourse debt associated with securitized loans to timeshare owners by obtaining indicative bids from investment banks that actively issue and facilitate the secondary market for timeshare securities. As an additional measure, we internally generate cash flow estimates by modeling all bond tranches for our active securitization transactions, with consideration for the collateral specific to each tranche. The key drivers in this analysis include default rates, prepayment rates, bond interest rates and other structural factors, which are usedwe use to estimate the projected cash flows. WeIn order to estimate market credit spreads by rating, we reviewed market spreads from timeshare note securitizations and other asset-backed transactions that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarterthree quarters of 2010, in order to estimate market credit spreads by rating.2010. We then applied those estimated market spreads to swap rates in order to estimate an underlying discount rate for calculating the fair value of the active bonds. After comparing the results of our internal analysis to the bids we received from the investment banks, weWe have concluded that the fair value of the bonds approximatesreflects a marginal premium over the book value.value resulting from relatively low current swap rates and credit spreads.

We estimate the fair value of our other long-term debt, excluding leases, using expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, and we determine the fair value of our senior notes using quoted market prices. We believeAt year-end 2009 the carrying value of our credit facility approximatesapproximated its fair value due to the short maturity dates of the draws we have executed to date.had executed. Other long-term liabilities represent guarantee costs and reserves and deposit liabilities. The carrying values of our guarantee costs and reserves approximate their fair values. We estimate the fair value of our deposit liabilities primarily by discounting future payments at a risk-adjusted rate.

We are required to carry our marketable securities at fair value. The carrying value of our marketable securities at the end of our 2010 firstthird quarter of $18was $19 million, which included debt securities of the U.S. Government, its sponsored agencies and other U.S. corporations invested for our self-insurance programs. These securities are valued using directly observable Level 1 inputs as described in Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation.”

We are also required to carry our derivative assets and liabilities at fair value. As of the end of our 2010 firstthird quarter, we had derivative instruments in a current asset position of $1$2 million which we valued using Level 1 inputs, $2 million in a current liability position valued using Level 2 inputs and $2 million in a long-term liability position valued using Level 3 inputs. We value our Level 3 input derivatives using valuations that are calibratedwe calibrate to the initial trade prices. Subsequentprices, with subsequent valuations are based on unobservable inputs to the valuation model, including interest rates and volatilities.

As discussed in more detail in Footnote No. 1, “Basis for Presentation”Presentation,” and Footnote No. 15,16, “Variable Interest Entities,” we periodically sellsecuritize notes receivable originated by our Timeshare segment. We continue to service the notes after the sale,securitization, and we retain servicing assets and other interests in the notes. Historically, we accounted for these residual interests, including the servicing assets, as trading securities according tounder the then-applicable standards for accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities. At the dates of sale and at the end of each reporting period, we estimated the fair value of our residual interests using a discounted cash flow model using Level 3 inputs. However, duringWith the adoption of the new accounting topics in the first quarter of 2010, we adopted new accounting topics for accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities as discussed in Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation.” As a result, we reestablished notes receivable (net of reserves) associated with past securitization transactions, we recorded the debt obligations associated with third-party interests held in these special purpose entities and we correspondingly eliminated our residual interests (including servicing assets) associated with these transactions. We have includedThe preceding table includes the carrying amounts and the estimated fair values for the long-term portion of the securitized notes receivable and the associated debt obligations in the preceding table.obligations.

We compute the effect of dilutive securities using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the period. We determine dilution based on earnings attributable to Marriott shareholders. As there waswe recorded a loss attributable to Marriott shareholders for the twelve and thirty-six week periods ended September 11, 2009, first quarter,we did not include the following shares in the “Effect of dilutive securities” caption in the preceding table, does not include 3.9because it would have been antidilutive to do so: 7.4 million employee stock option and SARs plan shares, 1.71.4 million deferred stock incentive plan shares, or 2.0 million restricted stock unit shares for the twelve-week period and 6.7 million employee stock option and SARs plan shares, 1.5 million deferred stock incentive plans shares, or 0.51.5 million restricted stock units shares because including those shares would have been antidilutive.for the thirty-six week period.

Additionally, inIn accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for calculating earnings per share, we havedid not includedinclude the following stock options and SARs in our calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to Marriott shareholders because the exercise prices were greater than the average market prices for the applicable periods:

7.Inventory

Inventory, totaling $1,503$1,455 million and $1,444 million as of March 26,September 10, 2010, and January 1, 2010, respectively, consists primarily of Timeshare segment interval, fractional ownership, and residential

products totaling $1,485$1,437 million and $1,426 million as of March 26,September 10, 2010, and January 1, 2010, respectively. Inventory totaling $18 million as of both March 26,September 10, 2010, and January 1, 2010 primarily relates to hotel operating supplies for the limited number of properties we own or lease. We primarily value Timeshare segment interval, fractional ownership, and residential products at the lower of cost or fair market value, as defined in theaccordance with applicable accounting guidance, for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and we generally value operating supplies at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market. Consistent with recognized industry practice, we classify Timeshare segment interval, fractional

ownership, and residential products inventory, which has an operating cycle that exceeds 12 months, as a current asset.

The non-securitized notes receivable reserve relates to the implementation of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17, which required us to establish reserves for certain previously securitized and subsequently repurchased notes held at January 2, 2010.

Decrease in securitized reserve and increase in non-securitized reserve was attributable to the transfer of the reserve when we repurchased the notes.

(3)

Consists of static pool and default rate assumption changes.

We record an estimate of expected uncollectibility on notes receivable that we receive from timeshare purchasers as a reduction of revenue at the time we recognize profit on a timeshare sale. We have fully reserved all defaulted notes in addition to recording a reserve on the estimated uncollectible portion of the remaining notes. For those notes not in default, we assess collectibility based on pools of receivables because we hold large numbers of homogenous timeshare notes receivable. We estimate uncollectibles based on historical activity for similar timeshare notes receivable. In addition to a static pool analysis, which tracks uncollectibles for each year’s sales over the life of those notes, we utilized internal cash flow models to estimate future defaults. As of March 26,September 10, 2010, we estimated average remaining default rates of 9.1 percent and 7.19.6 percent for outstandingboth non-securitized and securitized timeshare notes receivable, respectively.receivable.

We do not record accrued interest on “Loans to timeshare owners” that are over 90 days past due.

10.Long-term Debt

As discussed in Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation,” on the first day of fiscal year 2010, we consolidated certain previously unconsolidated entities associated with past timeshare notes receivable securitization transactions, resulting in consolidation of the related debt obligations. Prior to the 2010 first quarter, we were not required to consolidate these entities. We securitized the notes receivable through bankruptcy-remote entities, and the entities’ creditors have no recourse to us.

The non-recourse debt associated with securitized notes receivable that was, and to the extent currently outstanding is, secured by the related notes receivable, allreceivable. All of our other long-term debt was, and to the extent currently outstanding is, recourse to us andbut unsecured. At March 26, 2010, we had long-term public debt ratings associated with our Senior Notes of BBB- from Standard and Poor’s and Baa3 from Moody’s Investor Service.

We are party to a multicurrency revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) that provides for $2.404 billion of aggregate effective borrowings to support general corporate needs, including working capital, and capital expenditures, and letters of credit that have supported our commercial paper program.credit. The Credit Facility expires on May 14, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a fixed spread. We also pay quarterly fees on the Credit Facility at a rate based on our public debt rating. While borrowings under our Credit Facility generally have short-term maturities, we classify outstanding borrowings as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the outstanding borrowings on a long-term basis.

Each of our 13 securitized notes receivable pools contains various triggers relating to the performance of the underlying notes receivable. If a pool of securitized notes receivable fails to perform within the pool’s established parameters (default or delinquency thresholds by deal) there are provisions pursuant tounder which the monthly excess spread we typically receive each month from that pool (related to the interests we retained) is effectively redirected to accelerate the principal payments to investors based on the subordination of the

different tranches until the performance trigger is cured. During the first quarter of 2010, one pool that reached a performance trigger at year-end 2009 returned to compliance while three others reached performance triggers. At the end of the first quarter of 2010, only one of these three pools was still out of compliance with applicable triggers. This pool continued to be under trigger through the end of the second quarter of 2010, but returned to compliance during the third quarter of 2010. No other pools reached performance triggers during the second quarter. During the third quarter of 2010, six pools reached performance triggers, and at the end of the third quarter, only three of these six pools were still out of compliance with applicable triggers. As a result an additional $2of performance triggers, a total of $6 million in cash of excess spread was used to pay down debt during the first quarterthree quarters of 2010. As of March 26, 2010, only one of our 13 securitized notes receivable pools was out of compliance with applicable triggers.

12.Contingencies

Guarantees

We issue guarantees to certain lenders and hotel owners, primarily to obtain long-term management contracts. The guarantees generally have a stated maximum amount of funding and a term of three to 10 years. The terms of guarantees to lenders generally require us to fund if cash flows from hotel operations are inadequate to cover annual debt service or to repay the loan at the end of the term. The terms of the guarantees to hotel owners generally require us to fund if the hotels do not attain specified levels of operating profit. Guarantee fundings to lenders and hotel owners are generally recoverable as loans repayable to us out of future hotel cash flows and/or proceeds from the sale of hotels. We also enter into project completion guarantees with certain lenders in conjunction with hotels and Timeshare segment properties that we or our joint venture partners are building.

The following table shows the maximum potential amount of future fundings for guarantees where we are the primary obligor and the carrying amount of the liability for expected future fundings at March 26, 2010, are as follows:fundings.

Our guarantees of $228 million listed in the preceding table include $32$31 million of operating profit guarantees that will not be in effect until the underlying properties open and we begin to operate the properties and $3 million of debt service guarantees that will not be in effect until the underlying debt has been funded, and $8 million of other guarantees.funded.

The guarantees of $228 million in the preceding table do not include $162$143 million of guarantees related to Senior Living Services lease obligations totaling $109of $94 million (expiring in 2013) and lifecare bonds of $53$49 million (estimated to expire in 2016), for which we are secondarily liable. The primary obligors on these liabilities are

Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (“Sunrise”) is the primary obligor ofon both the leases and $8$7 million of the lifecare bonds, andbonds; CNL Retirement Properties, Inc. (“CNL”), which subsequently merged with Health Care Property Investors, Inc., is the primary obligor of $43on $40 million of the lifecare bonds.bonds; and Five Star Senior Living ison the primary obligorremaining $2 million of the remainder of the lifecare bonds. Prior to our sale of the Senior Living Services business in 2003, these preexisting guarantees were guarantees by us of obligations of consolidated Senior Living Services subsidiaries. Sunrise and CNL have indemnified us for any guarantee fundings we may be called upon to make in connection with these lease obligations and lifecare bonds. While we currently do not expect to fund under the guarantees, according toSunrise’s SEC filings made by Sunrise, because of Sunrise’s financial position and reduced access to liquidity,suggest that Sunrise’s continued ability to meet these guarantee obligations cannot be assured.assured given Sunrise’s financial position and limited access to liquidity.

The table also does not include lease obligations, for which we became secondarily liable when we acquired the Renaissance Hotel Group N.V. in 1997, consisting of annual rent payments of approximately $6 million and total remaining rent payments through the initial term of approximately $57$51 million. Most of these obligations expire atby the end of 2020. CTF Holdings Ltd. (“CTF”) had originally made available €35 million in cash collateral in the event that we are required to fund under such guarantees (approximately €6 million ($87 million) of which remained at March 26,September 10, 2010). Our contingent liability exposure of approximately $57 millionfor the remaining rent payments through the initial term will decline to the extent that CTF obtains releases from the landlords or these hotels exit the system. Since the time we assumed these guarantees, we have not funded any amounts, and we do not expect to fund any amounts under these guarantees in the future.

In addition to the guarantees noted in the preceding table, we provided a project completion guarantee to a lender for a project with an estimated aggregate total cost of $586$592 million. We are liable on a several basis with our partners in an amount equal to our 34 percent pro rata ownership in the joint venture, which is 34 percent.venture. The carrying value of our liability at March 26, 2010, related toassociated with this guarantee was $28$27 million at September 10, 2010, as further discussed in Footnote No. 15,16, “Variable Interest Entities.” The preceding table also does not include a project completion guarantee that we provided to another lender for a project with an estimated aggregate total cost of CAD $466Canadian $491 million (USD $439($464 million). The associated joint venture will satisfy payments for cost overruns for this project through contributions from the partners or from borrowings, and we are liable on a several basis with our partners in an amount equal to our pro rata ownership in the joint venture, which is 20 percent. We do not expect to fund underDuring the guarantee. At March 26,third quarter of 2010, theour joint venture partners executed documents indemnifying us for any payments that may be required in connection with this guaranty obligation. The carrying value of our liabilitiesliability associated with this project completion guarantee was $3 million.million at September 10, 2010.

In addition to the guarantees described in the preceding paragraphs, in conjunction with financing obtained for specific projects or properties owned by joint ventures in which we are a party, we may provide industry standard indemnifications to the lender for loss, liability, or damage occurring as a result of the actions of the other joint venture owner or our own actions.

Commitments and Letters of Credit

In addition to the guarantees noted in the preceding paragraphs, as of March 26,September 10, 2010, we had the following commitments outstanding:

 

$4 million of loan commitments that we have extended to owners of lodging properties. We expect to fund approximately $2$1 million of these commitments within three years, and do not expect to fund the remaining $2$3 million of commitments, $1 million of which will expire within three years, $1 million of which will expire within five years, and $1 million of which will expire after five years.

 

Commitments to invest up to $48$41 million of equity for noncontrolling interests in partnerships that plan to purchase North American full-service and limited-service properties or purchase or develop hotel-anchored mixed-use real estate projects.

A commitment, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to $47 million (€35 million) into a new fund to purchase or develop managed Marriott brand hotels in Western Europe that will be managed exclusively by us. The commitment will terminate on June 30, 2010 if marketing of the fund has not begun by that date. Based on current fundraising conditions, we do not expect marketing to commence by June 30, 2010, at which point the commitment will expire unless extended by mutual agreement.

A commitment to invest up to $27$26 million (€20 million) in a joint venture in which we are a partner. We do not expect to fund under this commitment.

Two commitments for an aggregate of $130 million to purchase timeshare and fractional units upon completion of construction for use in our Asia Pacific pointsPoints Club and The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club programs. We have already made deposits of $22 million in conjunction with these commitments. With regardcommitments, and we fulfilled $100 million of these commitments by acquiring real estate subsequent to the payment of2010 third quarter. We expect to fulfill the remaining $108$8 million the payment of $100 million is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions, and we have certain claims and contingencies that may have the effect of delaying and/or reducing the amount of such payment, which could otherwise become due in the third or fourth quarter of this year.2011 first quarter.

 

$4 million (€3 million) of other purchase commitments that will be funded over the next 5 years, as follows: $1 million in each of 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

At March 26,September 10, 2010, we had $109$93 million of letters of credit outstanding, the majority of which related to our self-insurance programs. Surety bonds issued as of March 26,September 10, 2010, totaled $329$229 million, the majority of which were requested by federal, state or local governments related to our lodging operations, including our Timeshare segment and self-insurance programs.

 

13.Business Segments

We are a diversified hospitality company with operations in five business segments:

 

  

North American Full-Service Lodging, which includes the Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Marriott Conference Centers, JW Marriott, Renaissance Hotels, Renaissance ClubSport, and Autograph Collection properties located in the continental United States and Canada;

 

  

North American Limited-Service Lodging, which includes the Courtyard, Fairfield Inn & Suites, SpringHill Suites, Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, and Marriott ExecuStay properties located in the continental United States and Canada;

 

  

International Lodging, which includes the Marriott Hotels & Resorts, JW Marriott, Renaissance Hotels, Courtyard, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Residence Inn, and Marriott Executive Apartments properties located outside the continental United States and Canada;

  

Luxury Lodging, which includes The Ritz-Carlton and Bulgari Hotels & Resorts properties worldwide (together with residential properties associated with some Ritz-Carlton hotels), as well as EDITION, for which no properties are yet open;opened its first hotel on September 28, 2010; and

 

  

Timeshare, which includes the development, marketing, operation, and sale of Marriott Vacation Club, The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, and Grand Residences by Marriott timeshare, fractional ownership, and residential properties worldwide.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, income taxes, or indirect general, administrative, and other expenses. With the exception of theour Timeshare segment, we do not allocate interest income or interest expense to our segments. Prior to the 2010 first quarter, we included note salesecuritization gains/(losses) in our Timeshare segment results. Due to our adoption of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17, as discussed in Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation,” we no longer account for note receivable securitizations as sales but rather as secured borrowings as defined in these topics, and therefore, we do not expect to recognize gains or losses on future note receivable securitizations. We include interest income and interest expense associated with our Timeshare segment notes in our Timeshare segment results because financing sales and securitization

transactions are an integral part of that segment’s business. In addition, we allocate other gains and losses, equity in earnings or losses from our joint ventures, divisional general, administrative, and other expenses, and income or losses attributable to noncontrolling interests to each of our segments. “Other unallocated corporate” represents that portion of our revenues, general, administrative, and other expenses, equity in earnings or losses, and other gains or losses that are not allocable to our segments.

We aggregate the brands presented within our North American Full-Service, North American Limited-Service, International, Luxury, and Timeshare segments considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, distribution channels, the regulatory business environment of the brands and operations within each segment and our organizational and management reporting structure.

This estimate is based on our current development plans, which remain subject to change.

 

14.Timeshare Strategy-Impairment Charges

In response to the difficult business conditions that the Timeshare segment’s timeshare, luxury residential, and luxury fractional real estate development businesses experienced, we evaluated our entire Timeshare portfolio in the 2009 third quarter. In order to adjust the business strategy to reflect current market conditions at that time, on September 22, 2009, we approved plans for our Timeshare segment to take the following actions: (1) for our luxury residential projects, reduce prices, convert certain proposed projects to other uses, sell some undeveloped land, and not pursue further Marriott-funded residential development projects; (2) reduce prices for existing luxury fractional units; (3) continue short-term promotions for our U.S. timeshare business and defer the introduction of new projects and development phases; and (4) for our European timeshare and fractional resorts, continue promotional pricing and marketing incentives and not pursue further development. We designed these plans, which primarily relate to luxury residential and fractional resorts, to stimulate sales, accelerate cash flow, and reduce investment spending.

As a result of these decisions, in the 2009 third quarter, we recorded charges reflected in the following table in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income that impacted operating income under the “Timeshare strategy-impairment charges” caption and that impacted non-operating income under the “Timeshare strategy-impairment charges (non-operating)” caption. The impairment charges were non-cash, other than $27 million of charges associated with ongoing mezzanine loan fundings and $21 million of charges for purchase commitments.

Grouped by product type and/or geographic location, these impairment charges consisted of $295 million associated with five luxury residential projects, $299 million associated with nine North American luxury fractional projects, $93 million related to one North American timeshare project, $51 million related to the four projects in our European timeshare and fractional business, and $14 million associated with two Asia Pacific timeshare resorts.

15.Restructuring Costs and Other Charges

During the latter part of 2008, we experienced a significant decline in demand for domestic and international hotel rooms based in part on the failures and near failures of a number of large financial service companies in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the dramatic downturn in the economy. Our capital-intensive Timeshare business was also hurt globally by the downturn in market conditions and particularly the significant deterioration in the credit markets, which resulted in our decision not to complete a note salesecuritization in the fourth quarter of 2008 (although we did complete note salessecuritization transactions in the first and

fourth quarters of 2009). These declines resulted in reduced management and franchise fees, cancellation of development projects, reduced timeshare contract sales, and anticipated losses under guarantees and loans. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we put certain company-wide cost-saving measures in place in response to these declines, with individual company segments and corporate departments implementing further cost saving measures. Upper-level management responsible for the Timeshare segment, hotel operations, development, and above-property level management of the various corporate departments and brand teams individually led these decentralized management initiatives.

The various initiatives resulted in aggregate restructuring costs of $55 million that we recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008. We also recorded $137 million ofand other charges in the 2008 fourth quarter. For information regardingon the fourth quarter 2008 charges, see Footnote No. 20, “Restructuring Costs and Other Charges,” in our 2008 Form 10-K. As part of the restructuring actions we began in the fourth quarter of 2008, we initiated further cost savings measures in 2009 associated with our Timeshare segment, hotel development, and above-property level management and corporate overhead that resulted in additional restructuring costs of $51 million in fiscal year 2009, includingwhich included $2 million, in$33 million, $9 million, and $7 million of restructuring costs in the 2009 first, quarter.second, third and fourth quarters, respectively. We completed this restructuring in 2009 and do not expect to incur additional expenses in connection with these initiatives. We also recorded $162 million of other charges in fiscal year 2009, includingwhich included $127 million and $24 million of other charges in the 2009 first and second quarters, respectively, a net $1 million credit in the 2009 third quarter and $12 million of other charges in the 2009 fourth quarter. For information regardingon the 2009 charges, see Footnote No. 21, “Restructuring Costs and Other Charges,” in our 2009 Form 10-K.

15.16.Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, we analyze our variable interests, including loans, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if an entity in which we have a variable interest is a variable interest entity. Our analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews. We base our quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity, and our qualitative analysis on our review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability, and relevant financial agreements. We also use our qualitative analyses to determine if we must consolidate a variable interest entity as theits primary beneficiary.

We periodically sell,securitize, without recourse, through special purpose entities, notes receivable originated by our Timeshare segment in connection with the sale of timeshare interval and fractional products. These securitizations provide funding for the Company and transfer the economic risks and substantially all the benefits of the loans to third parties. In a securitization, various classes of debt securities that the special purpose entities issue are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of timeshare notes receivable. The Company services the notes receivable. With each securitization, we may retain a portion of the securities, subordinated tranches, interest-only strips, subordinated interests in accrued interest and fees on the securitized receivables or, in some cases, overcollateralization and cash reserve accounts.

Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles thatUnder GAAP as it existed prior to fiscal year 2010, these entities met the definition of QSPEs, and we were not required to evaluate them for consolidation. Upon implementation in the 2010 first quarter ofWe began evaluating these entities for consolidation when we implemented the new accounting topics related to transfers of financial assets (see Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation” for additional information),in the Company evaluated these entities for consolidation.2010 first quarter. We created these entities to serve as a mechanism for holding assets and related liabilities, and the entities have no equity investment at risk, making them variable interest entities. We continue to service the notes, and transfer all proceeds collected to these special purpose entities, and retain rights to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the entities. Thus,Accordingly, we concluded under the new accounting topics we have concluded that we are the entities’ primary beneficiary and, therefore, we consolidate them. Please see Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation”Presentation,” for additional information, including the impact of initial consolidation of these entities.

At March 26,September 10, 2010, the carrying amount of consolidated assets included withinin our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet that are collateral for the variable interest entities’ obligations totaled $1,056had a carrying amount of $961 million, comprised primarily of $112$109 million and $897$797 million, respectively, of current and long-term notes receivable (net of reserves), respectively. In addition, we consolidated $31 and $39 million and $16 million, respectively, of current and long-term restricted cash, respectively.cash. Further, at March 26,September 10, 2010, the carrying amount of the consolidated liabilities included withinin our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for these variable interest entities totaled $1,047had a carrying amount of $918 million, comprised of $4$6 million of interest payable, $120$114 million of current portion of long-term debt, and $923$798 million of long-term debt. The noncontrolling interest balance was zero. The creditors of these entities do not have general recourse to us.

Under the terms of our timeshare note sales,securitizations, we have the right at our option to repurchase defaulted mortgage notes at the outstanding principal balance. The transaction documents typically limit such repurchases to 10 to 15 percent of the transaction’s initial mortgage balance. Voluntary repurchases by us of defaulted notes during the first three quarters of 2010 and 2009 first quarters were $17$49 million and $11$58 million, respectively.

In the 2010 third quarter, we completed the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in an entity that develops and markets fractional ownership and residential interests. We had previously concluded that the entity was a variable interest entity because the voting rights were not proportionate to the economic interests and we had consolidated the entity because we were the primary beneficiary. Subsequent to the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest, we determined that this now wholly-owned entity was no longer a variable interest entity.

We have a call option on the equity of a variable interest entity that holds property and land acquired for timeshare development that we currently operate as a hotel, which gives us ultimate power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and therefore, we consolidate this entity. The entity is a variable interest entity because the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit it to finance its activities without additional support from other parties. At September 10, 2010, the entity’s assets included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet had a carrying amount of $19 million, entirely comprised of property and land held for sale, classified as other current assets. The liabilities included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for this variable interest entity had a carrying amount of less than $1 million and a noncontrolling interest of zero. Our involvement with the entity did not have a material affect on our financial performance or cash flows during the first three quarters of 2010. The creditors of this entity do not have general recourse to us, and we sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of this entity subsequent to the end of the 2010 third quarter.

We have an equity investment in and a loan receivable due from a variable interest entity that develops and markets fractional ownership and residential interests, and we consolidate the entity because we are the primary beneficiary. We concluded that the entity is a variable interest entity because the voting rights are not proportionate to the economic interests. The loan we provided to the entity replaced the original senior loan, and at March 26, 2010, had a principal balance of $88 million and an accrued interest balance of $6 million. The variable interest entity uses the loan facility to fund its net cash flow. The loan’s outstanding principal balance did not increase during the 2010 first quarter.

At March 26, 2010, the carrying amount of consolidated assets included within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet that are collateral for the variable interest entity’s obligations totaled $33 million and comprised $30 million of real estate held for development, property, equipment, and other assets and $3 million of cash. Further, at March 26, 2010, the carrying amount of the consolidated liabilities included within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for this variable interest entity totaled $4 million and the noncontrolling interest was zero. The creditors of this entity do not have general recourse to us. We have contracted to purchase the noncontrolling interest in the entity for less than $1 million. The acquisition will occur in stages. We acquired 3 percent of the noncontrolling

interest in the entity during the 2009 third quarter, which provided us with a majority voting interest, and 47 percent of the noncontrolling interest in the entity during the 2010 first quarter. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the 2010 third quarter. Our involvement with the entity did not have a material effect on financial performance or cash flows during the 2010 first quarter.

Our Timeshare segment uses several special purpose entities to maintain ownership of real estate in certain jurisdictions in order to facilitate sales within pooled ownership structures (the “Clubs”). We absorb the variability in the assets of the Clubs to the extent that inventory has not been sold to the ultimate Club member. The Clubs are variable interest entities because the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional support from other parties.

We contributed all of the Clubs’ assets to them, in exchange for all of the entities’ beneficial interests. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of two of the Clubs as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities through our rights to market and sell the assets of the entities and our rights to the proceeds from such sale. At the end of the 2010 first quarter, the carrying amount of assets included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet associated with the consolidated Clubs was $19 million, comprised entirely of inventory. The carrying amount of liabilities included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was less than $1 million, and there were no noncontrolling interests. Our involvement with the Clubs did not have a material effect on our financial position, financial performance or cash flows during the 2010 first quarter. The creditors of these entities do not have general recourse to us.

We determined that we were not the primary beneficiary of one previously consolidated Club beginning in the 2010 first quarter. By virtue of transfer of variable interests to third parties, the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the entity is now shared amongst the variable interest holders. Our maximum exposure to loss is $26 million, the carrying value of our interest in this entity, which is classified as inventory, and the carrying costs during the holding period.

We have a call option on the equity of a variable interest entity that holds property and land acquired for timeshare development that is currently operated by us as a hotel, which gives us ultimate power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact economic performance. The entity is a variable interest entity because the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional support from other parties. At March 26, 2010, the carrying amount of the entity’s assets included within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet totaled $19 million, entirely comprised of property and land. The carrying amount of the liabilities included within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for this variable interest entity totaled less than $1 million and the noncontrolling interest was zero. Our involvement with the entity did not have a material affect on our financial performance or cash flows during the 2010 first quarter. The creditors of this entity do not have general recourse to us.

We have an equity investment in and a loan receivable due from a variable interest entity that develops and markets fractional ownership and residential interests, and we do not consolidate the entity because we are not the primary beneficiary. We concluded that the entity is a variable interest entity because the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional support from other parties. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary as power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the entity is shared amongst the variable interest holders. Duringholders, and therefore do not consolidate the first quarter of 2010, we advanced less than $1 million in additional loans to fund progress toward completion of the project.entity. In the 2009 third quarter, we fully impaired our equity investment and certain loans receivable due from the entity. In the 2010 third quarter, the continued application of equity losses to our outstanding loan receivable balance reduced its carrying value to zero. We may fund up to an additional $28$27 million and do not expect to recover this amount, which has beenwe have accrued and is included in current liabilities. See Footnote No. 20, “Timeshare Strategy-Impairment Charges,” in theour 2009 Form 10-K for additional information. Coupled with the outstanding balance of $4 million on our loan receivable, our maximumWe do not have any remaining exposure to loss is $32 million.loss.

In conjunction with the transaction with CTF described more fully in Footnote No. 8, “Acquisitions and Dispositions,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007, under the caption “2005 Acquisitions,” we manage 12certain hotels on behalf of four tenant entities 100 percent owned by CTF, which lease the hotels from third-party owners. Due to certain provisions in the management agreements, we account for these contracts as operating leases. TheAt the end of the 2010 third quarter, we managed 10 hotels on behalf of three tenant entities.The entities have minimal equity and minimal assets comprised of hotel working capital and furniture, fixtures, and equipment. In conjunction with the 2005

transaction, CTF had placed money in a trust account to cover cash flow shortfalls and to meet rent payments. In turn, we released CTF from their guarantees fully in connection with eightseven of these properties and partially in connection with the other fourthree properties. At March 26,September 10, 2010, the trust account held approximately $7$1 million. The tenant entities are variable interest entities because the holder of the equity investment at risk, CTF, lacks the ability through voting rights to make key decisions about the entities’ activities that have a significant effect on the success of the entities. We do not consolidate the entities because we do not bear the majority of the expected losses. We are secondarily liable (after exhaustion of funds from the trust account) for rent payments for eightseven of the 1210 hotels in the event thatif there are cash flow shortfalls. Future minimum lease payments through the end of the lease term for these hotels totaled approximately $63$52 million at March 26,September 10, 2010. In addition, we are secondarily liable for rent payments of up to an aggregate cap of $19$17 million for the fourthree other hotels in the event thatif there are cash flow shortfalls. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the rent payments and certain other tenant obligations under the lease, for which we are secondarily liable.

BUSINESS AND OVERVIEW

Lodging

Business conditions remained challengingfor our lodging business improved in the first three quarters of 2010. While the recent recession significantly impacted lodging demand and hotel pricing, occupancies began to improve in the fourth quarter of 2009. Room rates began to stabilize and improve in some markets in the 2010 firstsecond quarter, as occupancy and room rates at our hotels were substantially below 2008 levels. Atthat improvement continued, strengthened and expanded to other markets throughout the same time, we saw meaningful improvement in global demand2010 third quarter. In the 2010 third quarter, as compared to the 2009 third quarter, worldwide average daily rates on a constant dollar basis increased 2.8 percent for company-operated properties reflecting the impact of modest increases in both North American rates and rates outside of North America. Worldwide revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for company-operated properties increased 8.4 percent on a constant dollar basis for the year-ago2010 third quarter, as compared to the 2009 third quarter, and the 2009 fourth quarter, particularly among business transient customers and association group customers. Worldwide occupancy ratesincreased 3.7 percentage points to 71.2 percent.

While worldwide RevPAR for our properties rose during the first quarter with particular strengththree quarters of 2010 remains well below 2008 levels, we continued to see strengthening in properties in Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America, and in our luxury properties around the world. Nevertheless, average daily ratesAdditionally, hotels in North America experienced stronger demand from corporate transient and association group customers in the first three quarters of 2010 as compared to 2009, and that demand continued to strengthen progressively during the 2010 period. However, property-level banquet and catering spending continues to be weak primarily reflecting tight budgets and fewer group functions. During the 2010 first quarter, were lower than last year. However, as demand strengthens, and occupancy rates increase, we expect pricing to improve later in 2010.

Association group demand continued to improve progressively throughout the first quarter of 2010 with improvement in attendance at association group meetings; however, corporate group demand still remained weak. Group meeting cancellations returned to averagetypical levels, and expected attendance for futurerevenue from group meetings continued to improve. Non-corporate demand continued to improve in the 2010 first quarter, largely as a result of continued promotional efforts aimed at driving leisurethroughout 2010. While our booking windows for both group business and other discounted transient business. However, as corporate demand improves and room rates rise, we expect leisure and other discontinued transient business demand will decline. Our strategyremain very short, our pace of bookings for group business for future periods continues to be to preserve and increase hotel profit margins by driving revenue, including managing our mix of customers, and by aggressively managing costs.improve.

We monitor market conditions continuously and are ablecarefully price our rooms daily to quickly changemeet individual hotel demand levels. We modify the mix of our business to take advantagemaximize revenue as demand changes. Demand for higher rated rooms improved in the first three quarters of higher demand. We2010, which allowed us to reduce discounting and special offers for transient business. This mix improvement benefited average daily rates at many hotels.

However, room rates associated with negotiated corporate business (“special corporate business”) are also abletypically negotiated and locked in for the upcoming year, which limits our ability to quickly institute high-impactraise these rates quickly. Special corporate business represented 14 percent of our full service hotel room nights for 2010

through the end of the third quarter. Demand trends continue to strengthen, and low-cost sales promotions as needed. These promotions are designed bothwe expect to reward and retain loyal customers and to attract new guests. Bothwww.Marriott.com and our loyal Marriott Rewards member base are low-cost and high-impact vehiclesnegotiate 2011 special corporate rates late in 2010. Given recent strong demand, we believe 2011 special negotiated corporate rates will be meaningfully higher. In establishing pricing for our revenue generation efforts. We also communicatethis segment of business, we do not focus strictly on volume, but instead carefully evaluate the relationship with our customers, through social media channels, suchincluding for example, stay patterns (day of week and season), locations of stays, non-room spend, and aggregate spend.

Group business pricing is even less flexible in the near term, as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and through our blog “Marriott onsome group business may be booked several years in advance of guest arrival. However, as a result of the Move.”recent recession, shorter group booking windows have become more common for 2010 than they were in prior years. Accordingly, with strengthening demand, group business booked in 2010 is showing stronger price improvement than business booked in 2009.

Properties in our system are maintaining very tight cost controls, as we continue to focus on minimizing costs and enhancing property-level house profit margins. WeWhere market conditions dictate as appropriate, we have maintained many of our 2009

property-level cost saving initiatives such as adjusting menus and restaurant hours, modifying room amenities, relaxing some brand standards for hotels, cross-training personnel, utilizing personnel at multiple properties where feasible, and not filling some vacant positions. We also reduced above-property costs, which are allocated to hotels, by scaling back systems, processing, and support areas. In addition, we have not filled certain above-property vacant positions, and have encouraged, or, where legally permitted, required employees to use their vacation time accrued during the 2010 fiscal year.

Our lodging business model involves managing and franchising hotels, rather than owning them. At March 26,September 10, 2010, we operated 45 percent of the hotel rooms in our system were operated under management agreements, our franchisees operated 53 percent were operated under franchise agreements, and 2 percent werewe owned or leased by us.2 percent. Our emphasis on long-term management contracts and franchising tends to provide more stable earnings in periods of economic softness, while the addition of new hotels to our system generates growth. With long-term management and franchise agreements, thisThis strategy has allowed substantial growth while reducing financial leverage and risk in a cyclical industry. In addition, we increase our financial flexibility by reducing our capital investments and adopting a strategy of recycling the investments that we make.

We currently have overnearly 95,000 rooms in our lodging development pipeline. During the first quarterthree quarters of 2010, we opened 8,36119,985 rooms (gross), which included one residential unit.. Approximately 5 percent of these rooms were conversions from competitor brands and 2630 percent of the new rooms were located outside the United States.States and 9 percent of the room additions were conversions from competitor brands. Of the rooms that converted, 90 percent converted to our Autograph Collection brand. For the full 2010 fiscal year, we expect to open approximately 25,000 toabout 30,000 rooms (gross),. The figures in this paragraph do not includinginclude residential, unitstimeshare, or timeshareExecuStay units.

We calculate RevPAR (revenue per available room) by dividing room sales for comparable properties by room nights available to guests for the period. We consider RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period-over-period change in room revenues for comparable properties. RevPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures, such as revenues. References to RevPAR throughout this report are in constant dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Company-operated house profit margin is the ratio of property-level gross operating profit (also known as house profit) to total property-level revenue. We consider house profit margin to be a meaningful indicator of our performance because this ratio measures our overall ability as the operator to produce property-level profits by generating sales and controlling the operating expenses over which we have the most direct control. Gross operating profit includes room, food and beverage, and other revenue and the related expenses including payroll and benefits expenses, as well as repairs and maintenance, utility, general and administrative, and sales and marketing expenses. Gross operating profit does not include the impact of management fees, furniture, fixtures and equipment replacement reserves, insurance, taxes, or other fixed expenses.

We earn base management fees and incentive management fees on the hotels that we manage, and we earn franchise fees on the hotels operated by others under franchise agreements with us. Base fees are

typically a percentage of property-level revenue while incentive fees are typically a percentage of net house profit adjusted for a specified owner return. Net house profit is calculated as gross operating profit (house profit) less non-controllable expenses such as insurance, real estate taxes, capital spending reserves, and the like. Year-to-date in 2010, base management and franchise fees have increased reflecting strengthening RevPAR and unit growth. Improvement in incentive management fees year-to-date in 2010 reflects improving RevPAR and unit growth and improved gross operating profit.

For our North American comparable properties, systemwide RevPAR (which includes data from our franchised, managed, owned, and leased properties) decreased, on a constant dollar basis, increased by 1.83.9 percent in the first quarterthree quarters of 2010, compared to the year-ago quarter,period, reflecting lower average daily rates partially offset by improved occupancy levels in most markets.markets partially offset by a modest decline in average daily rate. For our properties outside North America, first quarter 2010 systemwide RevPAR, on a constant dollar basis, for the first three quarters of 2010 increased 1.28.6 percent versus the year-ago quarter,period, reflecting improved occupancy levels partially offset by lower average daily rates.

Timeshare

DemandContract sales for our timeshare interval products improved inremained essentially flat for the 2010 first quarter, asthree quarters of 2010, compared to the 2009 firstperiod, largely due to difficult second and third quarter comparisons driven by sales promotions begun in responsethe second quarter of 2009. This was mostly offset by the favorable variance in 2010 of contract sales cancellation allowances we recorded in the 2009 period in anticipation that a portion of contract revenue previously recorded for certain residential and fractional projects would not be realized due to contract cancellations prior to closing. By the third quarter of 2010, we had largely discontinued or reduced the purchase incentives and targeted marketing efforts instituted throughout 2009. However,in 2009, therefore pricing improved.

We launched the points-based Marriott Vacation Club Destinations program (“MVCD Program”) in North America and the Caribbean in June 2010, and we are initially focusing our marketing efforts on existing customers. As a result, in the 2010 third quarter, contract sales to existing owners increased 27 percent while sales to new customers declined. We expect accelerated sales to new customers in 2011. See the “Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program” caption later in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Rental revenues increased in the first three quarters with stronger leisure demand for our Marriott Vacation Club product. Demand for fractional and residential units remains weak. Sales and marketing costs as a percentage of contract sales continue to improve. As with Lodging, our Timeshare properties continue to maintain very tight cost controls, and we have not filled certain vacant positions, and have encouraged, or, where legally permitted, required employees to use their vacation time accrued during the 2010 fiscal year.

Since the sale of timeshare and fractional intervals and condominiums follows the percentage-of-completion accounting method, softcurrent demand frequently ismay not always be reflected in our Timeshare segment results until later accounting periods. Intentional and unintentional construction delays could also reduce nearer-term Timeshare segment results as percentage-of-completion revenue recognition may correspondingly be delayed as well.

On January 2, 2010, the first day of the 2010 fiscal year, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“FAS No. 166”) or Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“ASU No. 2009-16”) and Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“FAS No. 167”) or Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU No. 2009-17”).

As a result of the adoption ofadopting both topics in the 2010 first quarter, we consolidated 13 existing qualifying special purpose entities associated with past securitization transactions, and we recorded a one-time non-cash after-tax reduction to shareholders’ equity of $146 million ($238 million pretax) in the 2010 first quarter, representing the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

See Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation”Presentation,” for more detailed information regarding theon our adoption of these new accounting topics, including the impact to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

The following discussion presents an analysis of results of our operations for the twelve weeks and thirty-six weeks ended March 26,September 10, 2010, compared to the twelve weeks and thirty-six weeks ended March 27,September 11, 2009. Including residential products, we opened 250We added 185 properties (37,829(30,452 rooms) while 20and 30 properties (4,145(5,734 rooms) exited the system since the first quarterend of 2009.the 2009 third quarter. These figures do not include residential or ExecuStay units. We also added 2 residential properties (159 units) and 1 residential property (25 units) exited the system since the end of the 2009 third quarter.

Revenues

Twelve Weeks. Revenues increased by $135$177 million (5(7 percent) to $2,630$2,648 million in the firstthird quarter of 2010 from $2,495$2,471 million in the firstthird quarter of 2009, as a result of higher: cost reimbursements revenue ($142 million); base management and franchise fees ($16 million); incentive management fees ($4 million (comprised of a $3 million increase for North America and a $1 million increase outside of North America)); and Timeshare sales and service revenue ($7621 million); cost reimbursements revenue ($50 million);. These increases were partially offset by lower owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue ($96 million);.

The increases in base management fees, to $123 million in the 2010 third quarter from $116 million in the 2009 third quarter, and in franchise fees, ($3 million). These revenue increases were partially offset by a decreaseto $109 million in the 2010 third quarter from $100 million in the 2009 third quarter, primarily reflected increased RevPAR and the impact of unit growth across the system. The increase in incentive management fees, ($3to $21 million (comprised of a $4in the 2010 third quarter from $17 million decrease for North Americain the 2009 third quarter, primarily reflected higher property-level revenue and $1 million increase outside of North America)).continued tight property-level cost controls favorably impacting margins.

The increase in Timeshare sales and services revenue to $285$275 million in the 2010 firstthird quarter, from $209$254 million in the 2009 firstthird quarter, primarily reflected higher financing revenue from increaseddue to higher interest income from consolidation of securitized notes,and to a lesser extent higher services revenue reflecting increased rental occupancy levels and rates. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower development revenue from higher demand fordue to lower sales volumes associated with tough comparisons driven by sales promotions begun in the 2009 second quarter, lower reportability as certain timeshare projects and one project that became reportable in the 2010 first quarter.third quarter have not yet reached revenue recognition reportability thresholds, and lower sales to new customers in our initial launch of the MVCD Program. See “BUSINESS SEGMENTS: Timeshare,” later in this report for additional information on our Timeshare segment.

The increasedecrease in owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue, to $229$220 million in the 2010 firstthird quarter, from $220$226 million in the 2009 firstthird quarter, largely reflected $5an unfavorable variance from a one-time $6 million of higher revenue for owned and leased properties and $4 million of higher hotel agreement termination fees associated with three properties exiting our system. The increasetransaction cancellation fee received in owned and leased revenue primarily reflected increased occupancy levels.the 2009 third quarter. Combined branding fees associated with affinity card endorsements and the sale of branded residential real estate totaled $14$15 million and $17 million for each of the 2010 and 2009 first quarters.

The decrease in incentive management fees, to $40 million in the 2010 first quarter from $43 million in the 2009 first quarter, primarily reflected lower property-level operating income and margins in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. Lower room rates continue to compress property-level operating income and margins; however, that impact is partially offset by the impact of property-

level cost controls. The increase in franchise fees, to $91 million in the 2010 first quarter from $88 million in the 2009 first quarter, primarily reflected the impact of unit growth across the system, partially offset by the impact of lower average daily rates.third quarters, respectively.

Cost reimbursements revenue represents reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties and relates, predominantly, to payroll costs at managed properties where we are the employer. As we record cost reimbursements based upon costs incurred with no added markup, this revenue and related expense has no impact on either our operating income or net income attributable to us. The increase in cost reimbursements revenue, to $1,860$1,900 million in the 2010 firstthird quarter from $1,810$1,758 million in the 2009 firstthird quarter, reflected the impact of growth across the system.system, partially offset by lower property-level costs in response to cost controls. We added 2518 managed properties (6,903(6,555 rooms) and 197136 franchised properties (25,953(18,411 rooms) to our system since the end of the 2009 firstthird quarter, net of properties exiting the system.

Thirty-six Weeks. Revenues increased by $521 million (7 percent) to $8,049 million in the first three quarters of 2010 from $7,528 million in the first three quarters of 2009, as a result of higher: cost reimbursements revenue ($345 million); Timeshare sales and service revenue ($103 million); base

management and franchise fees ($41 million); incentive management fees ($12 million (comprised of a $3 million increase for North America and a $9 million increase outside of North America)); and owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue ($20 million).

The increase in Timeshare sales and services revenue to $849 million in the first three quarters of 2010, from $746 million in the first three quarters of 2009, primarily reflected higher financing revenue due to higher interest income and to a lesser extent higher services revenue reflecting increased rental occupancy levels and rates. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower development revenue reflecting lower sales volumes primarily associated with tough comparisons driven by sales promotions begun in the 2009 second quarter, a $25 million increase in reserves (we now reserve for 100 percent of notes that are in default in addition to the reserve we record on notes not in default), and lower sales to new customers in our initial launch of the MVCD Program. See “BUSINESS SEGMENTS: Timeshare” later in this report for additional information on our Timeshare segment.

The increases in base management fees, to $384 million in the first three quarters of 2010 from $367 million in the first three quarters of 2009, and in franchise fees, to $305 million in the first three quarters of 2010 from $281 million in the first three quarters of 2009, primarily reflected stronger RevPAR and the impact of unit growth across the system. The increase in incentive management fees, to $107 million in the first three quarters of 2010 from $95 million in the first three quarters of 2009, primarily reflected higher property-level revenue and continued tight property-level cost controls favorably impacting margins and, to a lesser extent, new unit growth.

The increase in owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue, to $704 million in the first three quarters of 2010, from $684 million in the first three quarters of 2009, largely reflected $14 million of higher revenue for owned and leased properties and $12 million of higher hotel agreement termination fees associated with five properties that exited our system, partially offset by an unfavorable variance for a one-time $6 million transaction cancellation fee received in the 2009 period. The increase in owned and leased revenue primarily reflected increased RevPAR and occupancy levels. Combined branding fees associated with affinity card endorsements and the sale of branded residential real estate totaled $47 million and $49 million in the first three quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The increase in cost reimbursements revenue, to $5,700 million in the first three quarters of 2010 from $5,355 million in the first three quarters of 2009, reflected the impact of growth across the system, partially offset by lower property-level costs in response to cost controls.

Timeshare Strategy-Impairment Charges

As discussed in more detail in Footnote No. 14, “Timeshare Strategy-Impairment Charges,” of this Form 10-Q, in the 2009 third quarter we recorded pretax charges totaling $752 million in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income ($502 million after-tax), including $614 million of pretax charges that impacted operating income under the “Timeshare strategy-impairment charges” caption, and $138 million of pretax charges that impacted non-operating income under the “Timeshare strategy-impairment charges (non-operating)” caption. The $752 million of pretax impairment charges were non-cash, other than $27 million of charges associated with ongoing mezzanine loan fundings and $21 million of charges for purchase commitments.

See Footnote No. 14, “Timeshare Strategy-Impairment Charges,” in this Form 10-Q for additional information, including a table showing the composition of the charges.

Restructuring Costs and Other Charges

As part of the restructuring actions we began in the fourth quarter of 2008, we initiated further cost savings measures in 2009 associated with our Timeshare segment, hotel development, above-property level management, and corporate overhead. These further measures resulted in additional restructuring costs of $51 million in fiscal year 2009 $2($2 million, $33 million, and $9 million of which we incurred in the 2009 first, quarter.second, and third quarters, respectively). For additional information on the 2009 restructuring costs, including the types of restructuring costs incurred in total and by segment, please see

For the cumulative restructuring costs incurred since inception and a roll forward of the restructuring liability through March 26,September 10, 2010, please see Footnote No. 14,15, “Restructuring Costs and Other Charges”Charges,” of this Form 10-Q.

As a result of our Timeshare segment restructuring efforts, we are projecting approximately $114$113 million ($7472 million after-tax) of annual cost savings in 2010, $77 million ($49 million after-tax) of which $26 million ($17 million after-tax) werewe realized in the first quarterthree quarters of 2010. The 2010 savings primarily were, and we expect that they will continue to be primarily be, reflected in the “Timeshare-direct” and the “General, administrative, and other” expense captions in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

As a result of the hotel development restructuring efforts across several of our Lodging segments, we are projecting approximately $12 million ($8 million after-tax) of annual cost savings in 2010, $8 million ($5 million after-tax) of which $3 million ($2 million after-tax) werewe realized in the first quarterthree quarters of 2010. The 2010 savings primarily were, and we expect that they will continue to be, primarily be, reflected in the “General, administrative, and other” expense caption in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

We project that the restructuring initiatives we implemented by reducing above property-level lodging management personnel and corporate overhead will result in $10 million to $11 million ($6 million to $7 million after-tax) of annual cost savings in 2010, $7 million ($5 million after-tax) of which $2 million ($1 million after-tax) werewe realized in the first quarterthree quarters of 2010. These savings primarily were, and are expectedwe expect that they will continue to be, primarily reflected in the “General, administrative, and other” expense caption in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Operating Income (Loss)

Twelve Weeks.Operating income increased by $140$673 million to $180operating income of $167 million in the 2010 firstthird quarter from $40an operating loss of $506 million in the firstthird quarter of 2009. TheThis increase in operating income reflected a $78favorable variance of $614 million decreaserelated to Timeshare strategy-impairment charges recorded in general, administrative, and other expenses, $61the 2009 third quarter, $40 million of higher Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses, an increase in franchise fees of $3 million, and a $2$9 million decrease in restructuring costs, an increase in base management and franchise fees of $16 million, and $4 million of higher incentive management fees. These increases were partially offset by $3 million of lower incentive management fees and $1$5 million of lower owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue net of direct expenses and a $5 million increase in general, administrative, and other expenses.

The reasons for the decreaseincrease of $3$16 million in incentivebase management and franchise fees as well as the increase of $3$4 million in franchiseincentive management fees as compared to the year-ago quarter are noted in the preceding “Revenues” section.

Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses in the firstthird quarter of 2010 totaled $50$56 million. The increase of $61$40 million from the year-ago quarter primarily reflected $37$20 million of higher financing revenue, which largely reflected increased interest income associated with the impact of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17, $14$7 million of higher development revenue net of product costs and marketing and selling costs, $11 million of higher other revenue net of expenses, and $3 million of higher services revenue net of expenses. Higher development revenue net of product costs and marketing and selling costs primarily reflected lower product costs due to lower sales volumes, lower reportability and lower marketing and selling costs, partially offset by lower development revenue for the reasons stated in the preceding “Revenues” section. See “BUSINESS SEGMENTS: Timeshare” later in this report for additional information on our Timeshare segment.

The $5 million (42 percent) decrease in owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue net of direct expenses was primarily attributable to an unfavorable variance from a one-time $6 million transaction cancellation fee received in the 2009 third quarter and additional rent expense associated with one property, partially offset by stronger results at some owned and leased properties.

General, administrative, and other expenses increased by $5 million (3 percent) to $149 million in the third quarter of 2010 from $144 million in the third quarter of 2009. The quarter-over-quarter variance

reflected $6 million of increased incentive compensation, $7 million of increased other expenses, primarily associated with initiatives to enhance our brands globally, and a $3 million increase in legal expenses. Partially offsetting these increased expenses were an $8 million favorable variance in deferred compensation expenses (with changes to the company’s deferred compensation plan, 2010 third quarter general, administrative, and other expenses had no deferred compensation expenses, compared to an $8 million unfavorable impact in the year-ago quarter from mark-to-market valuations) and a $4 million reversal of excess accruals for net asset tax based on the receipt of final assessments from a taxing authority located outside the United States. Of the $5 million increase in total general, administrative, and other expenses, an increase of $7 million was attributable to our Lodging segments and a decrease of $2 million was unallocated.

Thirty-six Weeks. Operating income increased by $940 million to operating income of $573 million in the first three quarters of 2010 from an operating loss of $367 million in the first three quarters of 2009. The increase in operating income reflected a favorable variance of $614 million related to Timeshare strategy-impairment charges recorded in the 2009 third quarter, $147 million of higher Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses, a $78 million decrease in general, administrative, and other expenses, a $44 million decrease in restructuring costs, a $41 million increase in base management and franchise fees, $12 million of higher incentive management fees, and $4 million of higher owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue net of direct expenses.

The reasons for the increase of $41 million in base management and franchise fees as well as the increase of $12 million in incentive management fees as compared to the first three quarters of 2009 are noted in the preceding “Revenues” section.

Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses in the first three quarters of 2010 totaled $156 million. The increase of $147 million from the year-ago period primarily reflected $92 million of higher financing revenue, which largely reflected increased interest income associated with the impact of consolidating previously unconsolidated securitized notes under ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17, $30 million of higher development revenue net of product costs and marketing and selling costs, $10 million of higher services revenue net of expenses, and $7$16 million of higher other revenue, net of expenses. Higher development revenue net of product costs and marketing and selling costs primarily reflected stronger demand for certain timeshare projectsboth lower product costs due to lower sales volumes and one project that reached revenue recognition reportability thresholdslower marketing and selling costs in the first quarter of 2010.2010 period, as well as favorable variances from both an $8 million charge related to an issue with a state tax authority and a net $3 million impact from contract cancellation allowances in the 2009 period, partially offset by lower development revenue for the reasons stated in the preceding “Revenues” section. See “BUSINESS SEGMENTS: Timeshare,” later in this report for additional information regardingon our Timeshare segment.

The $1$4 million (8(9 percent) decreaseincrease in owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue net of direct expenses was primarily attributable to weaker RevPAR$10 million of higher hotel agreement termination fees net of property closing costs and lower property-level marginsnet stronger results at some owned and leased properties mostlydue to higher RevPAR and property-level margins, partially offset by higher hotel agreement termination feesadditional rent expense associated with one property and improved property-level margins at one property.an unfavorable variance from a one-time $6 million transaction cancellation fee received in the 2009 period.

General, administrative, and other expenses decreased by $78 million (36(15 percent) to $138$429 million in the first quarterthree quarters of 2010 from $216$507 million in the first quarterthree quarters of 2009. The first three quarters of 2010 first quarter waswere favorably impacted by a $6 million reversal in that quarterperiod of guarantee accruals, primarily related to a completion guarantee for which we have now satisfied the related requirements, $2 million of decreased legal expenses, and a $4 million reversal of excess accruals for net asset tax based on the receipt of final assessments from a taxing authority located outside the United States, as well as the following 2009 expenses that were not incurred in 2010: $49 million of impairment charges related to two security deposits that we deemed unrecoverable in the first quarter of 2009 due, in part, to our decision not to fund certain cash flow shortfalls, partially offset by an $11 million reversal of the 2008 accrual for the funding of those cash flow shortfalls; a $42$43 million provision for loan losses; a $7 million write-off of Timeshare segment capitalized software costs; and $4 million of bad debt expense on an

accounts receivable balance. Somewhat offsetting theseThe period over period variance also reflected a $10 million favorable items, the 2010 first quarter was unfavorably impacted by an $8 million accrual reversal in the 2009 first quarter, primarily associated with incentive compensation, $3 million of increased legal expenses and a $5 million unfavorable variance in deferred compensation expenses (the(with changes to the company’s deferred compensation plan, general, administrative, and other expenses for the first three quarters of 2010 first quarter did not have an impact associated withhad no deferred compensation expenses, compared to a $5$10 million favorableunfavorable impact in the year-ago quarterperiod from mark-to-market valuations). Somewhat offsetting these favorable items were incentive compensation costs, which were $26 million higher, as well as $7 million of increased other expenses primarily associated with initiatives to enhance our brands globally, and $5 million of increased foreign exchange losses, all in the 2010 period. Of the $78 million decrease in total general, administrative, and other expenses, a decrease of $46 million was attributable to our Lodging segments and a decrease of $32 million was unallocated.

As noted in the preceding paragraph, the decrease in general, administrative, and other expenses included a $42$43 million decrease in the provision for loan losses to zero in the first three quarters of 2010 first quarter from $42$43 million in the first quarterthree quarters of 2009. The 2009 provision reflected a $29 million loan loss provision associated with one Luxury segment project and a $13$14 million loan loss provision associated with a North American Limited-Service segment portfolio.

Twelve Weeks. The $5 million impairment of equity securities in the third quarter of 2009 reflected an other-than-temporary impairment of marketable securities in accordance with the guidance for accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities. For additional information on the impairment, see Footnote No. 5, “Fair Value Measurements,” of the 2009 Form 10-K.

Thirty-six Weeks.The $21 million gain on debt extinguishment in the first quarterthree quarters of 2009 represents the difference between the purchase price and net carrying amount of Senior Notes we repurchased.

Interest Expense

Twelve Weeks.Interest expense increased by $16$14 million (55(52 percent) to $45$41 million in the firstthird quarter of 2010 compared to $29$27 million in the firstthird quarter of 2009. This increase was primarily driven by: 1)(1) the consolidation of $1,121 million of debt in the 2010 first quarter associated with previously securitized notes, as discussed in Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation,” which resulted in a $14$12 million increase in interest expense in the 2010 third quarter related to that debt; 2)(2) a $6$3 million unfavorable variance to the 2009 third quarter as a result of lower capitalized interest in the 2010 third quarter associated with construction projects; and 3)(3) $3 million of higher interest expense in the 2010 firstthird quarter associated with our executive deferred compensation plan. These increases were partially offset by $4 million of lower interest expense associated with the maturity of our Series C Senior Notes in the 2009 fourth quarter, lower average borrowings under the Credit Facility with a lower average interest rate, and other net debt reductions.

Thirty-six Weeks. Interest expense increased by $46 million (55 percent) to $130 million in the first three quarters of 2010 compared to $84 million in the first three quarters of 2009. This increase was primarily driven by: 1) $4(1) the consolidation of $1,121 million of debt in the 2010 first quarter associated with previously securitized notes, which resulted in a $40 million increase in interest expense in the first three quarters of 2010 related to that debt; (2) a $13 million unfavorable variance to the first three quarters of 2009 as a result of lower capitalized interest in the first three quarters of 2010 associated with

construction projects; and (3) $9 million of higher interest expense in the first three quarters of 2010 associated with our executive deferred compensation plan. These increases were partially offset by: (1) $11 million of lower interest expense associated with our repurchase of $122 million of principal amount of our Senior Notes in 2009, the maturity of our Series C Senior Notes in the 2009 fourth quarter and other net debt reductions; and 2)(2) a $2$5 million decrease in interest expense associated with our Credit Facility, which reflected lower average borrowings under the Credit Facility and a lower average interest rate.

Interest Income and Income Tax

Twelve Weeks.Interest income decreased by $2$1 million (33(20 percent) to $4 million in the firstthird quarter of 2010, from $6$5 million in the firstthird quarter of 2009, primarily reflecting a $2 million ofdecrease associated with a loan for which we recognized interest income we recorded for a loan in the 2009 first quarter that subsequently became impaired in the 2009 third quarter.quarter, but for which we no longer recognize interest income. Subsequent to the 2009 third quarter, we determined that the loan had become impaired. Because we recognize interest on impaired loans on a cash basis, we did not recognize any interest on this impaired loan in the 2010 first quarter.after its impairment.

Our tax provision increased by $13$255 million (39(121 percent) to $46a tax provision of $45 million in the firstthird quarter of 2010 from a tax provisionbenefit of $33$210 million in the third quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily due to pretax income in 2010 (as compared to a pretax loss in 2009) and $7 million of higher tax expense associated with changes to the Company’s deferred compensation plan (the 2010 third quarter had no impact associated with deferred compensation expenses, compared to a $7 million favorable impact in the year-ago quarter). The increase was partially offset by a lower tax rate in the third quarter of 2010, as the 2009 third quarter reflected $13 million of income tax expense primarily related to the treatment of funds received from certain foreign subsidiaries.

Thirty-six Weeks. Interest income decreased by $9 million (45 percent) to $11 million in the first quarterthree quarters of 2010, from $20 million in the first three quarters of 2009, primarily reflecting a $5 million decrease associated with a loan that we determined was impaired in the 2009 third quarter (as noted in the preceding “Twelve Weeks” discussion), and a $3 million decrease due to highera change in the timing of payment of a preferred dividend.

Our tax provision increased by $289 million (217 percent) to a tax provision of $156 million in the first three quarters of 2010 from a tax benefit of $133 million in the first three quarters of 2009. The increase was primarily due to pretax income in 2010.2010 (as compared to a pretax loss in 2009) and $9 million of higher tax expense associated with changes to the Company’s deferred compensation plan (the first three quarters of 2010 had no impact associated with deferred compensation expenses, compared to a $9 million favorable impact in the year-ago period). The increase was partially offset by a lower tax rate in the first quarterthree quarters of 2010, as the first three quarters of 2009 first quarter reflected $26$56 million of income tax expense primarily related to the treatment of funds received from certain foreign subsidiaries.

Equity in Losses

Twelve Weeks.Equity in losses of $11$5 million in the firstthird quarter of 2010 decreased by $23$7 million from equity in losses of $34$12 million in the firstthird quarter of 2009 and primarily reflected a favorable variance from a $30$3 million impairment charge in the 2009 third quarter for a joint venture that was not allocated to one of our segments and a total of $4 million of lower losses in the 2010 third quarter for a Timeshare segment residential and fractional project joint venture and International segment joint venture.

Thirty-six Weeks. Equity in losses of $20 million in the first quarterthree quarters of 2010 decreased by $30 million from equity in losses of $50 million in first three quarters of 2009 and primarily reflected favorable variances from a $30 million impairment charge associated with a Luxury segment joint venture investment that we determined was fully impaired and a $3 million impairment charge for a joint venture that was not allocated to be fully impaired. Thisone of our segments, both incurred in the 2009 period. Increased earnings of $2 million for our International segment joint ventures also contributed to the decrease in equity in losses. These favorable variance wasimpacts were partially offset by $4$3 million of decreased earningsincreased losses in the 2010 quarterperiod for a Timeshare segment residential and fractional project joint venture, primarily related to increased cancellation allowances, and impairment charges we recorded in the 2010 first quarterperiod of $2 million and $1

$1 million associated with a North American Limited-Service segment joint venture and a Timeshare segment joint venture, respectively.

Net Losses Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Twelve Weeks.Net losses attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased by $2$3 million in the firstthird quarter of 2010 to zero, compared to $2$3 million in the third quarter of 2009.

Thirty-six Weeks. Net losses attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased by $7 million in the first quarterthree quarters of 2010 to zero, compared to $7 million in the first three quarters of 2009.

Net Income (Loss)

Twelve Weeks.Net income increased by $108$552 million (432(118 percent) to income of $83 million in the firstthird quarter of 2010 from a net loss of $25$469 million in the firstthird quarter of 2009, net income attributable to Marriott increased by $106$549 million (461(118 percent) to income of $83 million in the firstthird quarter of 2010 from a net loss of $23$466 million in the firstthird quarter of 2009, and diluted incomeearnings per share attributable to Marriott increased by $0.28 (467$1.53 (117 percent) to earnings of $0.22 per share from losses of $0.06$1.31 per share.share in the third quarter of 2009. As discussed in more detail in the preceding sections beginning with “Operating Income,” the $108$552 million increase in net income compared to the prior year was due to lower general, administrative, and other expensesa favorable variance related to Timeshare strategy-impairment charges in the 2009 third quarter ($78752 million), higher Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses ($6140 million), higher equity in earnings ($23 million), higherbase management and franchise fees ($316 million), and lower restructuring costs ($29 million), lower equity in losses ($7 million), higher gains and other income ($4 million), and higher incentive management fees ($4 million). These favorable variances were partially offset by lower gains and otherhigher income taxes ($24255 million), higher interest expense ($1614 million), higher income taxes ($13 million), lower incentive management fees

($3 million), lower interest income ($2 million), and lower owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue net of direct expenses ($5 million), higher general, administrative, and other expenses ($5 million) and lower interest income ($1 million).

Thirty-six Weeks.Net income increased by $744 million (162 percent) to income of $285 million in the first three quarters of 2010 from a loss of $459 million in the first three quarters of 2009, net income attributable to Marriott increased by $737 million (163 percent) to income of $285 million in first three quarters of 2010 from a loss of $452 million in the first three quarters of 2009, and diluted income per share attributable to Marriott increased by $2.03 (160 percent) to earnings of $0.76 per share from losses of $1.27 per share in the first three quarters of 2009. As discussed in more detail in the preceding sections beginning with “Operating Income,” the $744 million increase in net income compared to the prior year was due to a favorable variance related to Timeshare strategy-impairment charges in the third quarter of 2009 ($752 million), higher Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses ($147 million), lower general, administrative, and other expenses ($78 million), lower restructuring costs ($44 million), higher base management and franchise fees ($41 million), lower equity in losses ($30 million), higher incentive management fees ($12 million), and higher owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue net of direct expenses ($4 million). These favorable variances were partially offset by higher income taxes ($289 million), higher interest expense ($46 million), lower gains and other income ($20 million), and lower interest income ($9 million).

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects earnings excluding the impact of interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We consider EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because we use it to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. We also use EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and

depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

We also evaluate adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes: (1) the 2009 third quarter restructuring costs and other charges totaling $8 million; (2) the 2009 second quarter restructuring costs and other charges totaling $57 million; and (3) the 2009 first quarter restructuring costs and other charges totaling $129 million. We evaluate non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of the restructuring costs and other charges incurred in the first three quarters of 2009 because those non-GAAP measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before material charges. These non-GAAP measures also facilitate our comparison of results from our on-going operations before material charges with results from other lodging companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Both of these non-GAAP measures exclude certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting adjusted EBITDA’s usefulness as a comparative measure. The table below shows our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations and reconciles those measures with Net Income (Loss) attributable to Marriott.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We are a diversified hospitality company with operations in five business segments: North American Full-Service Lodging, North American Limited-Service Lodging, International Lodging, Luxury Lodging, and Timeshare. See Footnote No. 13, “Business Segments”Segments,” for further information on our segments including how we aggregate our individual brands into each segment, and other information about each segment, including revenues, income (loss) attributable to Marriott, net losses attributable to noncontrolling interests, equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees, and assets.

We added 247 properties (37,557 rooms) and 20 properties (4,145 rooms) exited the system since the end of the 2009 first quarter, not including residential products. We also added 3 residential properties (272 units) since the end of the 2009 first quarter.

Twelve Weeks.Total segment financial results increased by $109$732 million (109(140 percent) to $209segment income of $211 million in the firstthird quarter of 2010 from $100segment losses of $521 million in the first third

quarter of 2009, and total segment revenues increased by $133$182 million to $2,615$2,630 million in the firstthird quarter of 2010, a 57 percent increase from revenues of $2,482$2,448 million in the firstthird quarter of 2009.

The increase in revenues included a $50$142 million increase in cost reimbursements revenue, which does not impact operating income or net income attributable to Marriott. The results, compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily reflected a favorable impact of $685 million related to Timeshare strategy-impairment charges recorded in the 2009 third quarter, $614 million of which were reported in the “Timeshare strategy-impairment charges” caption and $71 million of which were reported in the “Timeshare strategy-impairment charges (non-operating)” caption of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, an increase of $61$40 million in Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses, a $16 million increase in base management and franchise fees to $232 million in the 2010 quarter from $216 million in the 2009 quarter, a $7 million decrease in restructuring costs, and a $4 million increase in incentive management fees. These favorable variances were partially offset by $12 million of increased interest expense, $7 million of increased general, administrative, and other expenses, and a $4 million decrease in net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest benefit.

The $16 million increase in base management and franchise fees primarily reflected stronger RevPAR and the impact of unit growth across the system. The $4 million increase in incentive management fees primarily reflected higher property-level revenue and continued tight property-level cost controls favorably impacting margins in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. In the third quarter of 2010, 23 percent of our managed properties paid incentive management fees to us versus 20 percent in the third quarter of 2009. In addition, in the third quarter of 2010, 88 percent of our incentive fees were derived from international hotels versus nearly all of our incentive fees in the 2009 third quarter.

Worldwide RevPAR for comparable systemwide properties increased by 8.2 percent (7.5 percent using actual dollars) while worldwide RevPAR for comparable company-operated properties increased by 8.4 percent (7.0 percent using actual dollars). Compared to the year-ago quarter, worldwide comparable company-operated house profit margins in 2010 increased by 90 basis points and worldwide comparable company-operated house profit per available room (“HP-PAR”) increased by 9.7 percent on a constant U.S. dollar basis reflecting the impact of very tight cost controls in 2010 at properties in our system as well as increased demand.

Since the firstthird quarter of 2009, across our North American Full-Service Lodging segment we added 1520 properties (5,253(5,593 rooms) and 34 properties (800(994 rooms) left the system.

Twelve Weeks.Compared to the year-ago quarter, RevPAR for comparable company-operated North American full-service properties decreasedincreased by 1.86.4 percent to $100.12,$104.01, occupancy increased by 4.21.9 percentage points to 65.871.2 percent, and average daily rates decreasedincreased by 8.03.5 percent to $152.16.$146.11.

The $2$4 million increase in segment results, compared to the 2009 firstthird quarter, primarily reflected $6 million of higher base management and franchise fees, partially offset by $1 million of lower owned, leased, and other revenue net of direct expenses and $1 million of higher general, administrative, and other expenses, partially offset by a $4 million decrease in incentive management fees.

The $4 million decrease in incentive management fees was largely due to lower property-level revenue and margins in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, a result of weak demand, partially offset by property-level cost controls.expenses.

Twelve Weeks.Timeshare segment contract sales, including sales made by our timeshare joint venture projects, represent sales of timeshare interval, fractional ownership, and residential ownership products before the adjustment for percentage-of-completion accounting. Timeshare segment contract sales increased by $35$12 million compared to the firstthird quarter of 2009 to $164 million from $129$152 million. The increase in Timeshare segment contract sales in the firstthird quarter of 2010, compared to the year-ago quarter, reflected a $13 million increase in timeshare contract sales and a $36$15 million increase in residential contract sales and a $4 million increase in fractional contract sales, partially offset by a $14$7 million decrease in timeshare contract sales. Contract sales to existing customers accelerated in the quarter due to sales efforts associated with the MVCD Program. Residential and fractional contract sales. Salessales were favorably impacted in the third quarter of residential units and timeshare intervals benefited from stronger demand, as well as2010 by a $20net $23 million decrease in cancellation allowances that we recorded in anticipation that a portion of contract revenue, previously recorded under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for certain residential and fractional projects will not be realized due to contract cancellations prior to closing.

The $81$21 million increase in Timeshare segment revenues to $358$351 million from $277$330 million primarily reflected a $76$21 million increase in Timeshare sales and services revenue and a $4 million increase in cost reimbursements revenue. The increase in Timeshare sales and services revenue, compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily reflected higher financing revenue due to higher interest income associated with the impact of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17 and, to a lesser

extent, higher services revenue reflecting increased rental occupancy levels and rates. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower development revenue from stronger demand fordue to lower sales volume and lower reportability as certain timeshare projects including one project that became reportable in the 2010 firstthird quarter upon reachinghave not yet reached revenue recognition reportability thresholds. Partially offsetting

Segment income of $37 million in the third quarter of 2010 increased by $718 million from $681 million of segment losses in the third quarter of 2009, and primarily reflected a favorable variance related to $685 million of impairments recorded in the third quarter of 2009 ($614 million of which were reported in the “Timeshare strategy-impairment charges” caption and $71 million of which were reported in the “Timeshare strategy-impairment charges (non-operating)” caption of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income), $40 million of higher Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses, $7 million of lower restructuring costs which reflected restructuring costs incurred in the 2009 third quarter, and $2 million of lower joint venture equity losses, partially offset by $12 million of interest expense and a $4 million decrease in net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest.

The $40 million increase in Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses primarily reflected $20 million of higher financing revenue, $7 million of higher development revenue net of product costs and marketing and selling costs, $11 million of higher other revenue net of expenses, and $3 million of higher services revenue net of expenses. Higher development revenue net of product costs and marketing and selling costs primarily reflected lower costs due to lower sales volumes, lower reportability and lower marketing and selling costs, partially offset by lower development revenue for the reasons stated previously.

The $20 million increase in financing revenue, primarily reflected a $30 million increase in interest income on notes receivable from the notes receivable we now consolidate associated with past securitization transactions as part of the adoption of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17, partially offset by $7 million of decreased residual interest accretion reflecting the elimination of residual interests as part of the adoption of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17 and an unfavorable variance from a $3 million residual interest benefit in the 2009 quarter related to the curing of performance triggers. Please also see Footnote No. 9, “Notes Receivable,” for additional information on these notes receivable, including their weighted average interest rate and range of stated interest rates at September 10, 2010.

The $11 million increase in other revenue net of expenses primarily reflected a $15 million favorable adjustment to the Marriott Rewards liability resulting from lower than anticipated cost of redemptions, partially offset by $6 million in incremental costs related to the new points-based program. See “Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program” later in this Form 10-Q for additional information on this program launched in the 2010 third quarter. The increase in services revenue net of expenses primarily reflected higher rental revenue.

Joint venture equity losses decreased by $2 million and primarily reflected lower losses from a residential and fractional project joint venture, primarily due to lower expenses at that joint venture.

The $12 million in interest expense was a $19result of the consolidation of debt obligations due to our adoption of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17.

The $4 million decrease to zero in net losses attributable to a noncontrolling interest was associated with our acquisition of that noncontrolling interest. See Footnote No. 16, “Variable Interest Entities,” for additional information.

Thirty-six Weeks. Timeshare segment contract sales decreased by $1 million compared to the first three quarters of 2009 to $489 million from $490 million. The decrease in Timeshare segment contract sales in the first three quarters of 2010, compared to the year-ago period, reflected a $39 million decrease in timeshare contract sales, mostly offset by a $31 million increase in residential contract sales and a $7 million increase in fractional contract sales. Sales of timeshare intervals were hurt by tough comparisons driven by sales promotions begun in the 2009 second quarter. Residential and fractional contract sales benefited from a net $40 million decrease in cancellation allowances we recorded in

anticipation that a portion of contract revenue previously recorded for certain residential and fractional projects will not be realized due to contract cancellations prior to closing.

The $110 million increase in Timeshare segment revenues to $1,072 million from $962 million primarily reflected a $103 million increase in Timeshare sales and services revenue, a $5 million increase in cost reimbursements revenue, and a $2 million increase in base management fees. The increase in Timeshare sales and services revenue, compared to the year-ago period, primarily reflected higher financing revenue due to higher interest income associated with the impact of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17 and, to a lesser extent, higher services revenue reflecting increased rental occupancy levels and rates. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower development revenue reflecting lower sales volumes primarily due to tough comparisons driven by sales promotions begun in the 2009 second quarter and a $25 million increase in reserves primarily related(we now reserve for 100 percent of notes that are in default in addition to uncollectible notes.

the reserve we record on notes not in default).

Timeshare segment revenues forSegment income of $92 million in the first three quarters of 2010 increased by $825 million from $733 million of segment losses in the first three quarters of 2009, and primarily reflected a favorable variance related to $685 million of impairments recorded in the third quarter of 2009, included $45$147 million of higher Timeshare sales and $13services revenue net of direct expenses, $38 million respectively,of lower restructuring costs which reflected restructuring costs incurred in the 2009 period, $9 million of lower general, administrative, and other expenses, and a $2 million increase in base management fees, partially offset by $40 million of interest income,expense, an $11 million decrease in net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest, and $4 million of higher joint venture equity losses.

The $147 million increase in Timeshare segmentsales and services revenue net of direct expenses primarily reflected $92 million of higher financing revenue, $30 million of higher development revenue net of product costs and marketing and selling costs, $10 million of higher services revenue net of expenses, and $16 million of higher other revenue net of expense. Higher development revenue net of product costs and marketing and selling costs primarily reflected both lower costs due to lower sales volumes and lower marketing and selling costs in the 2010 period, as well as favorable variances from both an $8 million charge related to an issue with a state tax authority and a net $3 million impact from contract cancellation allowances in the 2009 period, partially offset by lower development revenue for the 2009 first quarter also reflected note sale losses of $1 million.reasons stated previously. The $25 million unfavorable impact to development revenue related to the reserve for uncollectible accounts was partially offset by a favorable impact in product costs, resulting in a net $12 million increase in reserves.

The $92 million increase in financing revenue, primarily reflected: (1) a net $95 million increase in interest income, primarily reflected the additional $36reflecting a $99 million in interest incomeincrease from the notes receivable we now consolidate associated with past securitization transactions as part of the adoption of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17, partially offset by a $4 million decrease in interest income related to the remaining notes receivable. Please also see Footnote No. 9, “Notes Receivable,” for additional information on thesenon-securitized notes receivable including their weighted average interest rate and range of stated interest rates at March 26, 2010.

Segment income of $25 million in the first quarter of 2010 increased by $42 million from $17 million of segment losses in the first quarter of 2009, and reflected $61 million of higher Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses, $1 million of higher base management fees, and $1 million ofreflecting a lower restructuring costs, partially offset by $14 million of interest expense, $4 million of lower joint venture equity earnings, and a $3 million decrease in net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest.

The $61 million increase in Timeshare sales and services revenue net of direct expenses primarily reflected $37 million of higher financing revenue, $14 million of higher development revenue net of product costs and marketing and selling costs, $3 million of higher services revenue net of expenses, and $7 million of higher other revenue net of expenses. Higher development revenue net of product costs and marketing and selling costs primarily reflected stronger demand for certain timeshare projects and favorable reportability for one project that reached revenue recognition reportability thresholds subsequent to the first quarter of 2009. Partially offsetting the increase was a net $11 million increase in reserves primarily related to a change in estimate of uncollectible accounts where we now reserve for 100 percent of notes that are in default in addition to the reserve we record on notes not in default. The $7 million increase in other revenue, net of expenses, included a $6 million reversal of an impairment charge, originally recorded in the 2009 third quarter related to our anticipated fundings in conjunction with a purchase commitment, due to a renegotiated contract.

The $37 million increase in financing revenue, primarily reflected: (1) a $32 million increase in interest income on notes receivable held;outstanding balance; (2) a favorable variance from a $13$22 million charge in the 2009 first quarterperiod related to the reduction in the valuation of residual interests; and (3) $1 million of higher income as a result of the loss on our first quarter 2009 sale of notes receivable originated in connection with the sale of timeshare interval and fractional ownership products.receivable. These favorable variances were partially offset by $9$25 million of decreased residual interest accretion reflecting the elimination of residual interests as part of the 2010 first quarter adoption of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17.

The $14$16 million increase in other revenue net of expense primarily reflected a $15 million favorable adjustment to the Marriott Rewards liability resulting from lower than anticipated cost of redemptions, a $6 million reversal of an impairment charge in the 2010 first quarter (originally recorded in the 2009 third quarter related to our anticipated fundings in conjunction with a purchase commitment), as well as higher other miscellaneous revenue, partially offset by $11 million in incremental costs related to the new points-based program. The $10 million increase in services revenue net of expenses primarily reflected higher rental revenue associated with increased transient demand.

The $40 million in interest expense was a result of the consolidation of debt obligations due to the adoption of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17.

The $9 million decrease in general, administrative, and other expenses primarily reflected a favorable variance to a $7 million write-off of capitalized software development costs in the 2009 period related to a project for which we decided not to pursue further development and $2 million in net cost savings.

Joint venture equity earnings decreasedlosses increased by $4 million and primarily reflected decreased earningsincreased losses from a residential and fractional project joint venture, primarily due to increased cancellation allowances recorded at that joint venture.

The $3$11 million decrease to zero in net losses attributable to a noncontrolling interest was associated with our acquisition that began in the 2009 third quarter of that noncontrolling interest. See Footnote No. 15,16, “Variable Interest Entities,” for additional information.

Cost reimbursements revenueMARRIOTT VACATION CLUB DESTINATIONS PROGRAM

In June 2010, during our 2010 third quarter, we launched the points-based MVCD Program in North America and expenses associated with Timeshare segment properties totaled $62 millionthe Caribbean. Under the MVCD Program, we sell beneficial interests in a domestic land trust. Based on the number of beneficial interests purchased, MVCD members receive an annual allocation of Vacation Club Points to redeem for travel at numerous destinations. For owners of weeks-based intervals, their existing rights and privileges are unchanged; however, those owners now have the option of enrolling in the first quarterMVCD Exchange program and purchasing additional product in increments of less than one week. Since the MVCD Program is a significant change from our prior approach to the timeshare business, our marketing efforts have been focused on existing owners, to encourage participation and purchase of additional product. Early results have exceeded expectations.

We believe the MVCD Program will appeal to a broader demographic by allowing us to sell our resort system at all locations and providing our owners with more flexible usage options. We believe this program will further appeal to prospective owners by offering them more flexibility in using points to tailor their vacation experience. We expect that this will result in fewer resorts under construction at any given time and allow us to better leverage successful sales centers at completed resorts. With less invested in inventory, the MVCD Program also should allow us to improve returns on investment.

Revenue recognition for the MVCD Program follows our Timeshare Points-Based Use System revenue recognition policy (see our 2009 Form 10-K, Footnote No. 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”). The timing of revenue recognition for this program approximates contract sales because we expect to sell fully completed inventory for the foreseeable future. With more efficient inventory management, we expect to have lower unsold maintenance fee expense, which should enhance profitability over time. In addition to capitalized costs for internally developed software and licensing fees of $18 million, we estimate that the start-up costs for the MVCD Program in 2010 comparedwill be approximately $11 million and will be reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Income in Timeshare sales and service, net of direct expenses.

Given the amount of inventory we have, we do not expect to $58 million indevelop new timeshare resorts for the first quarter of 2009.foreseeable future.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Under our 2002 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, we award: (1) stock options to purchase our Class A Common Stock (“Stock Option Program”); (2) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) for our Class A Common Stock (“Stock Appreciation Right Program”); (3) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of our Class A Common Stock; and (4) deferred stock units. We grant awards at exercise prices or strike prices that are equal to the market price of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant.

During the first quarterthree quarters of 2010, we granted 3.7 million restricted stock unitsRSUs and 1.1 million Employee SARs. See Footnote No. 4, “Share-Based Compensation,” earlier in this report for additional information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Requirements and Our Credit Facilities

Our Credit Facility, which expires on May 14, 2012, and associated letters of credit, provide for $2.4 billion of aggregate effective borrowings. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a fixed spread based on the credit ratings for our public debt. We also pay quarterly fees on the Credit Facility at a rate based on our public debt rating. For additional information on our Credit Facility, including participating financial institutions, see Exhibit 10, “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,” to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 16, 2007.

The Credit Facility contains certain covenants, including a single financial covenant that limits the Company’s maximum leverage (consisting of the ratio of Adjusted Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Facility) to not more than 4 to 1. Our outstanding public debt does not contain a corresponding financial covenant or a requirement that we maintain certain financial ratios. We currently satisfy the covenants in our Credit Facility and public debt instruments, including the Credit Facility’s leverage covenant, under the Credit Facility, and do not expect the covenants to restrict our ability to meet our anticipated borrowing and guarantee levels or increase those levels should we determinedecide to do so in the future.

We believe the Credit Facility, together with cash we expect to generate from operations, remains adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, finance our long-term growth plans, meet debt service, and fulfill other cash requirements.

At March 26,September 10, 2010, our available borrowing capacity amounted to $2.017$2.534 billion and reflected borrowing capacity of $1.899$2.311 billion under our Credit Facility and our cash balance of $118$223 million. BorrowingWe calculate that borrowing capacity by taking $2.404 billion of effective aggregate bank commitments under our Credit Facility, and subtracting $93 million of $1.899 billion was calculated as $2.404 billionoutstanding letters of allowable effective aggregatecredit. We had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility less lettersat the end of credit outstanding totaling $109 million, and less Credit Facility borrowings outstanding of $396 million.the 2010 third quarter. As noted in the previous paragraphs, we anticipate that this available capacity will be adequate to fund our liquidity needs and becauseneeds. Since we continue to have ample flexibility under the Credit Facility’s covenants, we also expect that undrawn bank commitments under the Credit Facility will remain available to us even if business conditions become considerably worse than we currently anticipate.

The three major credit rating agencies maintain a stable outlook on our long-term debt ratings. Any downgrades of our long-term debt ratings by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Service, Fitch Ratings, or other similar rating agencies could increase our cost of capital, limit our accesswere to the capital markets, or permit access only on terms that are more restrictive than those of our current outstanding debt.deteriorate markedly.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $118$223 million at March 26,September 10, 2010, an increase of $3$108 million from year-end 2009, reflecting activity for the twelvethirty-six weeks ended March 26,September 10, 2010, as follows:cash inflows associated with the following: operating cash inflows ($160913 million); common stock issuances ($78 million); and loan advancescollections and sales and other investing activities, net of loan collections and salesadvances ($20 million); and common stock issuances ($1736 million). MostlyPartially offsetting these cash inflows were cash outflows associated with the following:as follows: Credit Facility net repayments ($425 million); debt repayments ($121 million); decreased borrowings under the Credit Facility ($29268 million); capital expenditures ($25147 million); and other cash outflows ($1950 million); and dividend payments ($29 million).

Due to theTimeshare Cash Flows

In conjunction with our adoption of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17 in the 2010 first quarter, as discussed in more detail in Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation,” we no longer account for note receivable securitizations as sales, but rather as secured borrowings as defined in these topics, and accordingly we do not expect to recognize gains or losses on future note receivable securitizations. As part of our adoption of these topics, we have classified the following 2010activity for the first quarter activitythree quarters of 2010 under the “Financing Activities” caption of our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows: (1) payments on the newly recorded debt obligations as repayments of long-term debt ($62160 million); (2) note repurchases (previously classified in “Timeshare activity, net” under “Operating Activities” for the 2009 first quarter)three quarters of 2009) as

repayments of long-term debt ($1749 million); and (3) note sale proceeds on any future note securitizations (previously classified in “Timeshare activity, net” under “Operating Activities” for the 2009 first quarter)three quarters of 2009) as issuance of long-term debt (zero for the 2010 first quarter)three quarters of 2010). Also, we will no longer have any cash flow activity related to residual interests or servicing assets. We will continue to classify any collections on held notes receivable, as well as the notes receivable we

reestablished in the 2010 first quarter associated with past securitization transactions, as “Timeshare activity, net” in “Operating Activities.”

In response to significantly lower demand for our timeshare products, we have correspondingly reduced our projected investment in new development. See Footnote No. 20, “Timeshare Strategy-Impairment Charges”Charges,” in the 2009 Form 10-K for additional information. While our Timeshare segment historically generates positive operating cash flow, year-to-year cash flow varies based on the timing of both cash outlays for the acquisition and development of new resorts and cash received from purchaser financing. We include timeshare reportable sales we finance in cash from operations when we collect cash payments. The following table shows the net operating activity from our Timeshare segment (which does not include the portion of income from our Timeshare segment). In the first three quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively, new Timeshare segment mortgages were $52$178 million and $62$211 million, respectively, net ofand collections of $91totaled $248 million (which included collections on securitized notes of $62$164 million), and $56$121 million, respectively.

We expect that for the 2010 fiscal year we will redirect approximately $7$6 million of cash flows as a result of reaching the performance triggers.

We estimate that, for the 20-year period from 2010 through 2029, the cost ofcash flow associated with completing all phases of our existing portfolio of owned timeshare properties will be approximately $2.9$2.8 billion. This estimate is based on our current development plans, which remain subject to change.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to our “Contractual Obligations” table in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”Operations,” of our 2009 Form 10-K, other than those resulting from changes in the amount of outstanding debt.

As of the end of the 2010 firstthird quarter, debt had increased by $971$428 million to $3,269$2,726 million compared to $2,298 million at year-end 2009, and reflected consolidation of debt with a balance as of March 26, 2010, of $1,043 million in(in conjunction with the adoption of ASU Nos. 2009-16 and 2009-17,2009-17) of debt with a balance as of September 10, 2010, of $912 million, partially offset by decreased borrowings under our Credit Facility of $29$425 million and other net debt decreases of $43$59 million. At the end of the 2010 firstthird quarter, future debt payments plus interest totaled

$3,965 $3,349 million and are due as follows: $252$95 million in 2010; $278$269 million in 2011; $1,005$599 million in 2012; $636$627 million in 2013; $220$209 million in 2014; and $1,574$1,550 million thereafter.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our 2009 Form 10-K. Since the date of our 2009 Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed since January 1, 2010.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), and management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regardingon management’s control objectives. You should note that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based upon the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regardingon required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the firstthird quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including adjustments proposed during governmental examinations of the various tax returns we file. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm the company’s financial position, cash flows, or overall trends in results of operations, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur that could have individually or in aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks that could have a negative effect on the Company and its financial condition. You should understand that these risks could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained in this report and in other Company communications. Because there is no way to determine in advance whether, or to what extent, any present uncertainty will ultimately impact our business, you should give equal weight to each of the following:

Lodging and Timeshare Industry Risks

Our industries are highly competitive, which may impact our ability to compete successfully with other hotel and timeshare properties for customers.We generally operate in markets that contain numerous competitors. Each of our hotel and timeshare brands competes with major hotel chains in national and international venues and with independent companies in regional markets. Our ability to remain competitive and to attract and retain business and leisure travelers depends on our success in distinguishing the quality, value, and efficiency of our lodging products and services from those offered by others. If we are unable to compete successfully in these areas, this could limit our operating margins, diminish our market share, and reduce our earnings.

We are subject to the range of operating risks common to the hotel, timeshare, and corporate apartment industries. The profitability of the hotels, vacation timeshare resorts, and corporate apartments that we operate or franchise may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

 

 (1)the availability of and demand for hotel rooms, timeshare interval, fractional ownership, and residential products, and apartments;

 

 (2)pricing strategies of our competitors;

 

 (3)international, national, and regional economic and geopolitical conditions;

 

 (4)the impact of war, actual or threatened terrorist activity and heightened travel security measures instituted in response to war, terrorist activity or threats;

 

 (5)the desirability of particular locations and changes in travel patterns;

 

 (6)travelers’ fears of exposure to contagious diseases, such as H1N1 Flu, Avian Flu and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (“SARS”);

 

 (7)the occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and hurricanes;oil spills;

 

 (8)taxes and government regulations that influence or determine wages, prices, interest rates, construction procedures, and costs;

 

 (9)

the costs and administrative burdens associated with compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including, among others, those associated with franchising, timeshare, lending,

 

privacy, marketing and sales, licensing, labor, employment, immigration, the environment, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

 

 (10)the availability and cost of capital to allow us and potential hotel owners and joint venture partners to fund investments;

 

 (11)regional and national development of competing properties;

 

 (12)increases in wages and other labor costs, energy, healthcare, insurance, transportation and fuel, and other expenses central to the conduct of our business or the cost of travel for our customers, including recent increases in energy costs and any resulting increase in travel costs or decrease in airline capacity;

 

 (13)organized labor activities, which could cause the diversion of business from hotels involved in labor negotiations, loss of group business, and/or increased labor costs;

 

 (14)foreign currency exchange fluctuations; and

 

 (15)trademark or intellectual property infringement.

Any one or more of these factors could limit or reduce the demand or the prices our hotels are able to obtain for hotel rooms, timeshare units, residential units, and corporate apartments or could increase our costs and therefore reduce the profit of our lodging businesses. Reduced demand for hotels could also give rise to losses under loans, guarantees, and noncontrolling equity investments that we have made in connection with hotels that we manage. Even where such factors do not reduce demand, property-level profit margins may suffer if we are unable to fully recover increased operating costs from our guests. Similarly, our fee revenue could be impacted by weak property-level revenue or profitability.

Our hotel management and franchise agreements may also be subject to premature termination in certain circumstances, such as the bankruptcy of a hotel owner or franchisee, or a failure under some agreements to meet specified financial or performance criteria that are subject to the risks described in this section, which the Company fails or elects not to cure. A significant loss of agreements due to premature terminations could hurt our financial performance or our ability to grow our business.

General economic uncertainty and weak demand in the lodging and timeshare industries could continue to impact our financial results and growth.Weak economic conditions in the United States, Europe and much of the rest of the world and the uncertainty over the duration of that weakness could continue to have a negative impact on the lodging and timeshare industries. As a result of current economic conditions, we continue to experience weakweakened demand for our hotel rooms and timeshare products. Recent improvements in demand trends globally may not continue, and our future financial results and growth could be further harmed or constrained if the recovery was to stall or conditions were to worsen.

Operational Risks

Our lodging operations are subject to international, national, and regional conditions. Because we conduct our business on a national and international platform, our activities are susceptible to changes in the performance of regional and global economies. In recent years, our business has been hurt by decreases in travel resulting from weak economic conditions, the military action in Iraq, and the heightened travel security measures that have resulted from the threat of further terrorism. Our future economic performance could be similarly affected by the economic environment in the United States and other regions, the resulting unknown pace of business travel, and the occurrence of any future incidents in the countries where we operate.

The growing significance of our operations outside of the United States also makes us increasingly susceptible to the risks of doing business internationally, which could lower our revenues, increase our

costs, reduce our profits or disrupt our business. We currently operate or franchise hotels and resorts in 70 countries, our operations outside the United States represented approximately 1016 percent of our revenues in the 2010 firstthird quarter, and we expect that the international share of our total revenues will increase in future years. As a result, we are increasingly exposed to a number of challenges and risks associated with doing business outside the United States, including the following, any of which could reduce our revenues or profits, increase our costs, or disrupt our business: (1) compliance with complex and changing laws, regulations and policies of foreign governments that may impact our operations, including foreign ownership restrictions, import and export controls, and trade restrictions; (2) compliance with U.S. laws that affect the activities of U.S. companies abroad; (3) limitations on our ability to repatriate non-U.S. earnings in a tax effective manner; (4) the difficulties involved in managing an organization doing business in many different countries; (5) uncertainties as to the enforceability of contract and intellectual property rights under local laws; and (6) rapid changes in government policy, political or civil unrest, acts of terrorism or the threat of international boycotts or U.S. anti-boycott legislation.

New branded products that we launch in the future may not be successful. We may in the future launch additional programs or branded products. We cannot assure that our recently launched EDITION and The Autograph Collection brands and Marriott Vacation Club Destination points-based program or new products we may launch in the future will be accepted by hotel owners, potential franchisees, or the traveling public or other customers, that we will recover the costs we incurred in developing the brands, or that the brands will be successful. In addition, some of these new brands involve or may involve cooperation and/or consultation with aone or more third party,parties, including some shared control over product design and development, sales and marketing, and brand standards. Disagreements with these third parties regardingon areas of consultation or shared control could slow the development of these new brands and/or impair our ability to take actions we believe to be advisable for the success and profitability of such brands.

Risks relating to natural or man-made disasters, contagious disease, terrorist activity, and war could reduce the demand for lodging, which may adversely affect our revenues. So called “Acts of God,” such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, man-made disasters such as the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and the spread of contagious diseases, such as H1N1 Flu, Avian Flu, and SARS, in locations where we own, manage or franchise significant properties, and areas of the world from which we draw a large number of customers can cause a decline in the level of business and leisure travel and reduce the demand for lodging. Actual or threatened war, terrorist activity, political unrest, civil strife, and other geopolitical uncertainty can have a similar effect. Any one or more of these events may reduce the overall demand for hotel rooms, timeshare units, and corporate apartments or limit the prices that we are able to obtain for them, both of which could adversely affect our profits.

Unresolved disputes with the owners of the hotels that we manage or franchise may result in litigation. Consistent with our focus on management and franchising, we own very few of our lodging properties. The nature of our responsibilities under our management agreements to manage each hotel and enforce the standards required for our brands under both management and franchise agreements may be subject to interpretation and will from time to time give rise to disagreements. Such disagreements may be more likely as hotel returns are depressed as a result of current economic conditions. We seek to resolve any disagreements in order to develop and maintain positive relations with current and potential hotel owners and joint venture partners but are not always able to do so. Failure to resolve such disagreements has resulted in litigation, and could do so in the future. If any such litigation results in a significant adverse judgment, settlement or court order, we could suffer significant losses, our profits could be reduced, or our future ability to operate our business could be constrained.

Damage to, or other potential losses involving, properties that we own, manage or franchise may not be covered by insurance. We have comprehensive property and liability insurance policies with coverage features and insured limits that we believe are customary. Market forces beyond our control may

nonetheless limit the scope of the insurance coverage that we can obtain andor our ability to obtain coverage at reasonable rates. Certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods, or terrorist acts, may be uninsurable or too expensive to justify obtaining insurance.

As a result, we may not be successful in obtaining insurance without increases in cost or decreases in coverage levels. In addition, in the event of a substantial loss, the insurance coverage we carry may not be sufficient to pay the full market value or replacement cost of our lost investment or that of hotel owners or in some cases could result in certain losses being totally uninsured. As a result, we could lose some or all of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property, and we could remain obligated for guarantees, debt, or other financial obligations related to the property.

Development and Financing Risks

Whilewe are predominantly a manager and franchisor of hotel properties, we depend on capital to buy, develop, and improve hotels and to develop timeshare properties, and we or our hotel owners may be unable to access capital when necessary. In order to fund new hotel investments, as well as refurbish and improve existing hotels, both the Company and current and potential hotel owners must periodically spend money. The availability of funds for new investments and improvement of existing hotels by our owners depends in large measure on capital markets and liquidity factors, over which we can exert little control. Instability in the financial markets following the 2008 worldwide financial crisis and the contraction of available liquidity and leverage continue to constrain the capital markets for hotel and real estate investments. In addition, owners of existing hotels that we franchise or manage may have difficulty meeting required debt service payments or refinancing loans at maturity. While lenders have shown a willingness to work with borrowers to extend relief in the short to medium term, manysome current and prospective hotel owners are still finding new hotel financing on commercially viable terms to be challenging. The three major credit rating agencies maintain a stable outlook on our long-term debt ratings. Any downgrades of our long-term debt ratings by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Service, Fitch Ratings, or other similar rating agencies, could increase our cost of capital, limit our access to the capital markets, or permit access only on terms that are more restrictive than those of our current outstanding debt.

Our growth strategy depends upon third-party owners/operators, and future arrangements with these third parties may be less favorable. Our present growth strategy for development of additional lodging facilities entails entering into and maintaining various arrangements with property owners. The terms of our management agreements, franchise agreements, and leases for each of our lodging facilities are influenced by contract terms offered by our competitors, among other things. We cannot assure you that any of our current arrangements will continue or that we will be able to enter into future collaborations, renew agreements, or enter into new agreements in the future on terms that are as favorable to us as those that exist today.

Our ability to grow our management and franchise systems is subject to the range of risks associated with real estate investments.Our ability to sustain continued growth through management or franchise agreements for new hotels and the conversion of existing facilities to managed or franchised Marriott brands is affected, and may potentially be limited, by a variety of factors influencing real estate development generally. These include site availability, financing, planning, zoning and other local approvals, and other limitations that may be imposed by market and submarket factors, such as projected room occupancy, changes in growth in demand compared to projected supply, territorial restrictions in our management and franchise agreements, costs of construction, and anticipated room rate structure.

Our development activities expose us to project cost, completion, and resale risks. We develop new hotel, timeshare interval, fractional ownership, and residential properties, both directly and through partnerships, joint ventures, and other business structures with third parties. As demonstrated by the 2009 impairment charges associated with our Timeshare business, our ongoing involvement in the development of properties presents a number of risks, including that: (1) continued weakness in the capital markets may limit our ability, or that of third parties with whom we do business, to raise capital for completion of

projects that have commenced or for development of future properties; (2) properties that we develop could become less attractive due to further decreases in demand for residential, fractional or interval ownership, increases in mortgage rates and/or decreases in mortgage availability, market absorption or oversupply, with the result that we may not be able to sell such properties for a profit or at the prices or selling pace we anticipate, potentially requiring additional changes in our pricing strategy that could result in further charges; (3) construction delays, cost overruns, lender financial defaults, or so called “Acts of God” such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods or fires may increase overall project costs or result in project

cancellations; and (4) we may be unable to recover development costs we incur for these projects that are not pursued to completion.

Development activities that involve our co-investment with third parties may result in disputes that could increase project costs, impair project operations, or increase project completion risks. Partnerships, joint ventures, and other business structures involving our co-investment with third parties generally include some form of shared control over the operations of the business and create additional risks, including the possibility that other investors in such ventures could become bankrupt or otherwise lack the financial resources to meet their obligations, or could have or develop business interests, policies or objectives that are inconsistent with ours. Although we actively seek to minimize such risks before investing in partnerships, joint ventures or similar structures, actions by another investor may present additional risks of project delay, increased project costs, or operational difficulties following project completion. Such disputes may also be more likely in the current difficult business environment.

Other Risks Associated with Timeshare and Residential Properties

Disruption in the credit markets could impair our ability to sell the loans that our Timeshare business generates. Our Timeshare business provides financing to purchasers of our timeshare and fractional properties, and we periodically sell interests in those loans in the securities markets. Disruption in the credit markets in the second half of 2008 and much of 2009 impaired the timing and volume of the timeshare loans that we sell, as well as the financial terms of such sales. Although improved market conditions allowed us to successfully complete a sale in the fourth quarter of 2009 on terms that were substantially more favorable than the first quarter 2009 transaction, future deterioration in the financial markets nonetheless have not returned to pre-2008 conditions and another deterioration could preclude, delay future sales, sharplyor increase theirthe cost to us or prevent us from selling our timeshare notes entirely. Delays inof future note sales, or increaseswhich could in sale costs couldturn cause us to reduce spending in order to maintain our leverage and return targets, and could also result in increased borrowing to provide capital to replace proceeds from such sales.targets.

Risks associated with development and sale of residential properties that are associated with our lodging and timeshare properties or brands may reduce our profits. In certain hotel and timeshare projects we participate, through noncontrolling interests and/or licensing fees, in the development and sale of residential properties associated with our brands, including luxury residences and condominiums under our Ritz-Carlton and Marriott brands. Such projects pose additional risks beyond those generally associated with our lodging and timeshare businesses, which may reduce our profits or compromise our brand equity, including the following:

 

Recent decreasesDecreases in residential real estate, vacation home prices, and demand generally will continue to reduce our profits and could result in losses on residential sales, increase our carrying costs due to a slower pace of sales than we anticipated, and could make it more difficult to convince future hotel development partners of the value added by our brands;

 

Increases in interest rates, reductions in mortgage availability, or increases in the costs of residential ownership could prevent potential customers from buying residential products or reduce the prices they are willing to pay; and

 

Residential construction may be subject to warranty and liability claims, and the costs of resolving such claims may be significant.

Purchaser defaults on the loans our Timeshare business generates could reduce our Timeshare revenues and profits.We are also subject to the risk of default on the financing we provide to purchasers of our timeshare and fractional properties. Purchaser defaults could force us to foreclose on the loan and reclaim ownership of the financed property, both for loans that we have not securitized and in our role as servicer for the loans we have securitized. If we cannot resell foreclosed properties in a timely manner or at a price sufficient to repay the loans and our costs, we could incur losses or impairment charges on loans we have yet to securitize or our residual interest in loans that we have securitized.

Technology, Information Protection, and Privacy Risks

A failure to keep pace with developments in technology could impair our operations or competitive position.The lodging and timeshare industries continue to demand the use of sophisticated technology and systems, including those used for our reservation, revenue management and property management systems, our Marriott Rewards program, and technologies we make available to our guests. These technologies and systems must be refined, updated, and/or replaced with more advanced systems on a regular basis. If we are unable to do so as quickly as our competitors or within budgeted costs and time frames, our business could suffer. We also may not achieve the benefits that we anticipate from any new technology or system, and a failure to do so could result in higher than anticipated costs or could impair our operating results.

An increase in the use of third-party Internet services to book online hotel reservations could adversely impact our revenues.Some of our hotel rooms are booked through Internet travel intermediaries such as Expedia.com®, Travelocity.com®, and Orbitz.com®, as well as lesser-known online travel service providers. These intermediaries initially focused on leisure travel, but now also provide offerings for corporate travel and group meetings. Although Marriott’s Look No Further® Best Rate Guarantee has greatly reduced the ability of intermediaries to undercut the published rates at our hotels, intermediaries continue to use a variety of aggressive online marketing methods to attract customers, including the purchase, by certain companies, of trademarked online keywords such as “Marriott” from Internet search engines such as Google®, Bing® and Yahoo® to steer customers toward their websites (a practice currently being challenged by various trademark owners in federal court). Although Marriott has successfully limited these practices through contracts with key online intermediaries, the number of intermediaries and related companies that drive traffic to intermediaries’ websites is too large to permit us to eliminate this risk entirely. Our business and profitability could be harmed if online intermediaries succeed in significantly shifting loyalties from our lodging brands to their travel services, diverting bookings away fromwww.Marriott.com, or through their fees increasing the overall cost of Internet bookings for our hotels.

Failure to maintain the integrity of internal or customer data could result in faulty business decisions, damage of reputation and/or subject us to costs, fines, or lawsuits.Our. Our businesses require collection and retention of large volumes of internal and customer data, including credit card numbers and other personally identifiable information of our customers as they are entered into, processed by, summarized by, and reported by our various information systems and those of our service providers. We also maintain personally identifiable information about our employees. The integrity and protection of that customer, employee, and company data is critical to us. If that data is inaccurate or incomplete, we could make faulty decisions. Our customers and employees also have a high expectation that their personal information will be adequately protected by ourselves orus and our service providers, and theproviders. The regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy is increasingly demanding in both the United States and other jurisdictions in which we operate. A significant theft, loss, or fraudulent use of customer, employee, or company data by us or by a service provider could adversely impact our reputation and could result in remedial and other expenses such as fines and litigation.

Changes in privacy law could adversely affect our ability to market our products effectively. We rely on a variety of direct marketing techniques, including telemarketing, email marketing, and postal mailings. Any further restrictions in laws such as the Telemarketing Sales Rule, CANSPAM Act, and

various U.S. state laws, or new federal laws, regarding marketing and solicitation or international data protection laws that govern these activities could adversely affect the continuing effectiveness of telemarketing, email, and postal mailing techniques and could force further changes in our marketing strategy. If this occurs, we may not be able to develop adequate alternative marketing strategies, which could impact the amount and timing of our sales of timeshare units and other products. We also obtain access to potential customers from travel service providers or other companies with whom we have substantial relationships and market to some individuals on these lists directly or by including our marketing message in the other company’s marketing materials. If access to these lists was prohibited or otherwise restricted, our ability to develop new customers and introduce them to our products could be impaired.

Other Risks

Changes in tax and other laws and regulations could reduce our profits or increase our costs. Our businesses are subject to regulation under a wide variety of U.S. federal and state and foreign laws, regulations and policies. In response to the recent economic crisis and the currentrecent recession, we anticipate that many of the jurisdictions in which we do business will review tax and other revenue raising laws, regulations and policies, and any resulting changes could impose new restrictions, costs or prohibitions on our current practices and reduce our profits. In particular, U.S. and foreign governments may revise tax laws, regulations or official interpretations in ways that could have a significant impact on us, including modifications that could reduce the profits that we can effectively realize from our non-U.S. operations, or that could require costly changes to those operations, or the way in which they are structured. For example, most U.S. company effective tax rates reflect the fact that income earned and reinvested outside the United States is generally taxed at local rates, which are often much lower than U.S. tax rates. If changes in tax laws, regulations or interpretations were to significantly increase the tax rates on non-U.S. income, our effective tax rate could increase, our profits could be reduced, and if such increases were a result of our status as a U.S. company, could place us at a disadvantage to our non-U.S. competitors if those competitors remain subject to lower local tax rates.

If we cannot attract and retain talented associates, our business could suffer. We compete with other companies both within and outside of our industry for talented personnel. If we are not able to recruit, train, develop, and retain sufficient numbers of talented associates, we could experience increased associate turnover, decreased guest satisfaction, low morale, inefficiency, or internal control failures. Insufficient numbers of talented associates could also limit our ability to grow and expand our businesses.

Delaware law and our governing corporate documents contain, and our Board of Directors could implement, anti-takeover provisions that could deter takeover attempts. Under the Delaware business combination statute, a stockholder holding 15 percent or more of our outstanding voting stock could not acquire us without Board of Director’s consent for at least three years after the date the stockholder first held 15 percent or more of the voting stock. Our governing corporate documents also, among other things, require supermajority votes in connection with mergers and similar transactions. In addition, our Board of Directors could, without stockholder approval, implement other anti-takeover defenses, such as a stockholder’s rights plan to replace the stockholder’s rights plan that expired in March 2008.
