The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. As a result, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20222023 (the "2022"2023 Form 10-K").
We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consolidate entities under our control, including entities where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are all of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.
Segment Realignment—During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we realigned our reportable segments to align with our business strategy, the organizational changes for certain members of our leadership team, and the manner in which our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assesses performance and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The segment realignment had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations. Prior period segment results have been recast to reflect our new reportable segments. See Note 16 for a summary of our revised reportable segments and summarized consolidated financial information by segment.
In conjunction with the segment realignment, certain financial statement line item descriptions were revised within our condensed consolidated statements of income. The composition of the accounts within these financial statement line items remains unchanged. The changes include:
| | | | | | | | |
New financial statement line item | | Previously-used financial statement line item |
Owned and leased revenues | | Owned and leased hotels revenues |
Franchise and other fee revenues | | Franchise, license, and other fee revenues |
Revenues for reimbursed costs | | Revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties |
General and administrative expenses (1) | | Selling, general, and administrative expenses |
Integration costs (2) | | Selling, general, and administrative expenses |
Owned and leased expenses | | Owned and leased hotels expenses |
Reimbursed costs | | Costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties |
(1) Excludes integration costs. |
(2) Includes expenses incurred related to the integration of recently acquired businesses, including certain compensation expenses, professional fees, sales and marketing expenses, and technology expenses. |
Additionally, distribution and destination management revenues and expenses are not presented as the accounts under these previously-used financial statement line items are now included in the following:

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are detailed in Part IV, Item 15, "Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedule—Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements" within the 2023 Form 10-K. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we completed a restructuring of the entity that owns the Unlimited Vacation Club paid membership program business and sold 80% of the entity to an unrelated third party for $80 million. As a result of the transaction, we deconsolidated the entity as we no longer have a controlling financial interest and accounted for our remaining 20% ownership interest as an equity method investment in an unconsolidated hospitality venture (the "UVC Transaction"). For additional information about the UVC Transaction, see Note 4. Our accounting policies have been updated as follows:
Variable Interest Entities—We determine at the inception of each arrangement whether an entity in which we have made an investment or in which we have other variable interests is considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"). We consolidate VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary. We are the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have the power to direct activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If we are not the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we account for the investment or other variable interests in a VIE in accordance with the applicable GAAP. On a quarterly basis, we determine whether any changes in the interest or relationship with the entity impact the determination of whether we are still the primary beneficiary.
Adopted Accounting Standards
Reference Rate Reform—In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04"), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions that we can elect to adopt, subject to meeting certain criteria, regarding contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-06 ("ASU 2022-06"), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. ASU 2022-06 was effective upon issuance and defers the sunset date of Topic 848 by two years, extending the provisions of ASU 2020-04 through December 31, 2024. During the nine monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2023, we amended certain LIBOR-based contracts and adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-04 in conjunction with2020-04. We amended certain LIBOR-based contracts during the amendments. Wethree months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, and we are also in the process of converting other LIBOR-based contracts to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 did not materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption and is not expected to have a material future impact as we apply optional expedients or exceptions.
Future Adoption of Accounting Standards
Disclosure Improvements—In October 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-06 ("ASU 2023-06"), Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. ASU 2023-06 modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements for certain FASB Accounting Standards Codification topics to align with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from its regulations becomes effective, if the SEC removes the disclosure by June 30, 2027. The provisions of ASU 2023-06 are to be applied prospectively, with early adoption prohibited. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes.
Segment Reporting—In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to evaluate segment performance. The provisions of ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and require retrospective adoption for all prior periods presented. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.
Income Taxes—In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced annual income tax disclosures, including (1) disaggregation of effective tax rate reconciliation categories, (2) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, and (3) income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for all prior periods presented. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.

Revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each year was $184$623 million and $153 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each year was $1,058 million and $822$654 million, respectively. This revenue primarily relates to travel distribution and destination management services and the loyalty program, and the Unlimited Vacation Club paid membership program.
Revenue Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Contracted revenue expectedexpected to be recognized in future periods was approximately $550$120 million at September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, approximately 20%15% of which we expect to recognize over the next 12 months, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.
4. DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES
We invest in debt and equity securities that we believe are strategically and operationally important to our business. These investments take the form of (i) equity method investments where we have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity, (ii) marketable securities held to fund operating programs and for investment purposes, and (iii) other types of investments.
Equity Method Investments
Equity method investments were $212$277 million and $178$211 million at September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively.
Unconsolidated hospitality venture in India—During the three monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2023, we acquired 50% of the outstanding shares of a third-party entity that owns three of our managed properties in India in exchange for the non-cash redemption of a held-to-maturity ("HTM") debt security. Upon completion, one of our unconsolidated hospitality ventures in India acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of the entity, and we recorded a $32 million equity method investment on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2023. On September 28, 2023, our unconsolidated hospitality venture publicly filed a draft red herring prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India in conjunction with a proposed initial public offering ("IPO") of equity shares, subject to market conditions and regulatory approvals.
During On February 28, 2024, our unconsolidated hospitality venture completed its IPO on the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we received $23 millionBSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of proceeds relatedIndia Limited stock exchanges and issued 50,000,000 equity shares. Both prior and subsequent to the saleIPO, we hold 86,251,192 equity shares in the entity. At March 31, 2024, the price per share of the principal market for the equity shares was ₹517.55 (approximately $6.21 using exchange rates as of March 31, 2024).
As a result of the IPO, our ownership interest in the unconsolidated hospitality venture was diluted from 50.0% to 38.8%. As we maintain the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity, we recorded an increase to our equity method investment and recognized a $4$79 million non-cash pre-tax dilution gain in equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures on our condensed consolidated statements of income during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
UVC Transaction—During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we completed the UVC Transaction and accounted for the sale of our controlling financial interest in the entity as a business disposition. We received $41 million of proceeds, net of $39 million of cash disposed; recorded a $5$20 million reclassification from accumulatedequity method investment representing the fair value of our retained investment in the entity; and recorded $86 million of guarantee liabilities as described below. The transaction resulted in a $231 million pre-tax gain, which was recognized in gains on sales
of real estate and other comprehensive losson our condensed consolidated statements of income during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We will continue to manage the Unlimited Vacation Club business under a long-term management agreement and license and royalty agreement. The operating results of the Unlimited Vacation Club business prior to the UVC Transaction are reported within our distribution segment.
The fair value of our retained investment in the entity was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model of our common shares in the entity. The valuation methodology includes assumptions and judgments regarding volatility and discount rates, which are primarily Level Three assumptions.
In conjunction with the transaction, we agreed to guarantee up to $70 million of our hospitality venture partner's investment upon the occurrence of certain events, and we recorded a $25 million guarantee liability at fair value in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet (see Note 13)10). The fair value was estimated using the with and without method, which includes projected cash flows based on contract terms. The valuation methodology includes assumptions and judgments regarding discount rates and length of time, which are primarily Level Three assumptions.
Additionally, we agreed to indemnify the unconsolidated hospitality venture, the primary obligor to the foreign taxing authorities, for obligations the entity may incur as a result of uncertain tax positions. Following the transaction, we accounted for the indemnification as a guarantee. We derecognized the long-term income taxes payable related to the uncertain tax positions and recorded a $61 million guarantee liability at fair value in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2024 (see Note 10). The fair value of the indemnification was estimated using a probability-based weighting approach to determine the likelihood of payment of the tax liability, penalties, and interest related to the 2013 through 2018 tax years. The valuation methodology includes assumptions and judgments regarding probability weighting, discount rates, and expected timing of cash flows, which are primarily Level Three assumptions. At March 31, 2024, the indemnification had a maximum exposure of $100 million.

The fair values of our investments in preferred shares, which are classified as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy, are estimated using internally-developed discounted cash flow models based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. The primary sensitivity in these models is the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in these assumptions could result in different estimates of fair value. The remaining HTM debt securities are classified as Level Two in the fair value hierarchy due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs being considered in the final price of the security.
Convertible Debt Security—During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, we invested in a $30 million convertible debt security associated with a franchised property, which is classified as AFS and recorded in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets. The investment has a contractual maturity date in 2029. The convertible debt investment is remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis and is classified as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy. We estimated the fair value of this investment to be $37$39 million at September 30,both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The fair value is estimated using a discounted future cash flow model, and the primary sensitivity in the model is the selection of an appropriate discount rate. Fluctuations in our assumptions could result in different estimates of fair value.

6. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Acquisitions
Mr & Mrs Smith—During the nine monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2023, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Smith Global Limited, ("doing business as Mr & Mrs Smith")Smith, in a business combination through a locked box structure. The enterprise value of £53 million was subject to customary adjustments related to indebtedness and net working capital as of the locked box date, as well as a value accrual representing the economic value from the locked box date through the acquisition date.
We closed on the transaction on June 2, 2023 and paid cash of £58 million (approximately $72 million using exchange rates as of the acquisition date).
Net assets acquired were determined as follows:
| | | | | |
Cash paid, net of cash acquired | $ | 50 |
Cash acquired | 22 |
Net assets acquired | $ | 72 |
The acquisition includes technology related to a boutique and luxury global travel platform, brand name, and relationships with affiliated hotel owners. Following the acquisition date, fee revenues and operating expenses of Mr & Mrs Smith were recognized on our condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and for the period from the acquisition date through September 30, 2023, total revenues attributable to Mr & Mrs Smith were $7 million and $9 million, respectively. During both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and for the period from the acquisition date through September 30, 2023, net income attributable to Mr & Mrs Smith was $3 million.
Our condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets at September 30,both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 reflectsreflect preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on available information as of the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets acquired are estimated using discounted future cash flow models, the relief from royalty method, or a cost-based approach. Depending on the valuation method, these estimates include revenue projections based on long-term growth rates, expected attrition, historical cost
information, and/or an obsolescence factor, all of which are primarily Level Three assumptions. The remaining assets and liabilities were recorded at their carrying values, which approximate their fair values.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed were revised, which resulted in insignificant measurement period adjustments.
We will continue to evaluate the contracts acquired and the underlying inputs and assumptions used in our valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, these estimates, along with any related tax impacts, are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the date of acquisition.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an insignificant amount and $4 million, respectively, of transaction costs, primarily related to financial advisory and legal fees, in other income (loss), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income (see Note 18).
Dream Hotel Group—During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, a Hyatt affiliate acquired 100% of the limited liability company interests of each of Chatwal Hotels & Resorts, LLC, DHG Manager, LLC, and each of the subsidiaries of DHG Manager, LLC (collectively, "DreamDream Hotel Group")Group) for $125 million of base consideration, subject to customary adjustments related to working capital and indebtedness, and up to an additional $175 million of contingent consideration to be paid through 2028 upon the achievement of certain milestones related to the development of additional hotels and/or potential new hotels previously identified by the sellers (the "Dream Acquisition").sellers.
We closed on the transaction on February 2, 2023 and paid $125 million of cash. Upon acquisition, we recorded a $107 million contingent consideration liability at fair value in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation to model the likelihood of achieving the agreed-upon milestones based on available information as of the acquisition date. The valuation methodology includes assumptions and judgments regarding the discount rate, estimated probability of achieving the milestones, and expected timing of payments, which are primarily Level Three assumptions. The contingent consideration liability is remeasured at fair value on a quarterly basis (see Note 12).
Net assets acquired were determined as follows:
| | | | | |
Cash paid | $ | 125 | |
Fair value of contingent consideration | 107 | |
Net assets acquired | $ | 232 | |

Our condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets at September 30,both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 reflects preliminaryreflect estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on available information as of the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets acquired arewere estimated using either discounted future cash flow models or the relief from royalty method, both of which include revenue projections based on the expected contract terms and long-term growth rates, which are primarily Level Three assumptions. The remaining assets and liabilities were recorded at their carrying values, which approximate their fair values.
During the second and third quarters ofyear ended December 31, 2023, the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed were revised.finalized. The measurement period adjustments primarily resulted from the refinement of certain assumptions, including contract terms and useful lives, which affected the underlying cash flows in the valuation and were based on facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30,December 31, 2023 include a $20$21 million decrease in intangibles, net with a corresponding increase to goodwill. For the period from the acquisition date through September 30, 2023, we recognized an insignificant reduction of amortization expense on our condensed consolidated statements of income that would have been recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023, if the measurement period adjustments would have been made as of the acquisition date.
We will continue to evaluate the contracts acquired and the underlying inputs and assumptions used in our valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, these estimates, along with any related tax impacts, are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the date of acquisition.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date:

9. DEBT
At September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, we had $3,055 million and $3,113$3,056 million, respectively, of total debt, which included $6$751 million, and $660 million, respectively,in both periods, recorded in current maturities of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Senior Notes Repurchases—During the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, we issued $600repurchased $13 million of 5.750% senior notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes") at an issue price of 99.975%. We received approximately $596 million of net proceeds from the sale, after deducting $4 million of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses, which was used, together with cash on hand, to repay the outstanding balance on the $700 million of 1.300%our senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes"), as described below. Interest is payable semi-annually on January 30 and July 30 of each year.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we repaid the 2023 Notes, of which there was $638 million outstanding, at maturity for approximately $642 million, inclusive of $4 million of accrued interest. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased $18 million of the 2023 Notes in the open market.
Revolving Credit Facility—During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, and September 30, 2022, we had no borrowings or repayments on our revolving credit facility in effect for each of the respective periods. At both September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, we had no balance outstanding. At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we had $1,496 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit outstanding.
Fair Value—We estimated the fair value of debt, which consists of the notes below (collectively, the "Senior Notes") and other long-term debt, excluding finance leases.
•$750 million of 1.800% senior notes due 2024
•$450 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2025
•$400 million of 4.850% senior notes due 2026
•$600 million of 5.750% senior notes due 2027
•$400 million of 4.375% senior notes due 2028
•$450 million of 5.750% senior notes due 2030
Our Senior Notes are classified as Level Two due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs in the final price of the security. We estimated the fair value of other debt instruments using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. We classified our other debt instruments and revolving credit facility, if applicable, as Level Three based on the lack of available market data. The primary
sensitivity in these models is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in our assumptions couldwill result in different estimates of fair value.

11. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 was $33$19 million and $107$47 million, respectively, compared to the provision for income taxes of $35 million and $143 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, compared to the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, was primarily drivendue to a non-cash tax benefit as a result of the release of a valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets. This decrease was partially offset by salesthe earnings impact from both the sale of Hyatt Regency Indian WellsAruba Resort & Spa Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk, The Driskill, and The Confidante Miami Beach in 2022.Casino and the UVC Transaction recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
We are subject to audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. U.S. tax years 2018 through 2020 are currently under field exam. U.S. tax years 2009 through 2011 have been subject to a U.S. Tax Court case concerning the tax treatment of the loyalty program in which the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") is asserting that loyalty program contributions are taxable income to the Company. U.S. tax years 2012 through 2017 are pending the outcome of the issue currently in U.S. Tax Court.
The Tax Court issued an opinion on October 2, 2023 related to the aforementioned case and determined that the Company must recognize approximately $12 million in net taxable income for the tax years 2009 through 2011, but that the Company need not recognize approximately $228 million in net taxable income that preceded 2009. The Company is evaluating the Tax Court's decision and potential appeal options. In order to appeal the Tax Court's ruling, the Company would be required to pay the tax liability and interest related to the 2009 through 2011 tax years as determined by the Tax Court, which is estimated to be $5$2 million. If the Company were to appeal and the Tax Court's opinion is upheld on appeal, the estimated income tax payment due for the subsequent years 2012 through 20232024 is $211$236 million, including $30$35 million of estimated interest, net of federal benefit. We believe we have an adequate uncertain tax liability recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes, for this matter and believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
At September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, total unrecognized tax benefits recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets were $301$289 million and $253$301 million, respectively, of which
$129 $92 million and $102$120 million, respectively, would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. While it is reasonably possible that the amount of uncertain tax benefits associated with the U.S. treatment of the loyalty program could significantly change within the next 12 months, at this time, we are not able to estimate the range by which the reasonably possible outcomes of the pending litigation could impact our uncertain tax benefits within the next 12 months.
Through a prior acquisition, we assumed an assessment of additional corporate income tax related to disallowed deductions taken on historical tax returns from the Mexican tax authorities that was in process of being appealed. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we appealed the assessment to a higher court. Our filing position is more likely than not to be sustained, and therefore, we do not have an uncertain tax liability recorded for this matter. At March 31, 2024, the unrecognized tax liability is approximately $37 million.
Further, the Mexican tax authorities disallowed credits taken on historical tax returns, resulting in additional value added tax. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 450, Contingencies, we have not recorded a liability in connection with this matter as we do not believe a loss is probable. At March 31, 2024, our maximum exposure is not expected to exceed $14 million.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

If we choose not to fund the shortfall, the hotel owner has the option to terminate the management contract.

Insurance—We obtain commercial insurance for potential losses from general liability, property, automobile, aviation, environmental, workers' compensation, employment practices, liability, crime, cyber, and other miscellaneous risks. A portion of the riskthese risks is retained through a U.S.-based and licensed captive insurance company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyatt and generally insures our deductibles and retentions. Reserve requirements are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. Reserves for losses in our captive insurance company to be paid within 12 months are $42 million and $39$41 million at September 30, 2023both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022, respectively,2023 and are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Collective Bargaining Agreements—At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, approximately 21% of our U.S.-based employees were covered by various collective bargaining agreements, generally providing for basic pay rates, working hours, other conditions of employment, and orderly settlement of labor disputes. Certain employees are covered by union-sponsored, multi-employer pension and health plans pursuant to agreements between various unions and us. Generally, labor relations have been maintained in a normal and satisfactory manner, and we believe our employee relations are good.
Surety and Other Bonds—Surety and other bonds issued on our behalf were $254$246 million at September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and primarily relate to our insurance programs, litigation, taxes, licenses, construction liens, and utilities for our lodging operations.
Letters of Credit—Letters of credit outstanding on our behalf at September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 were $260$157 million, which primarily relate to our ongoing operations, collateral for customer deposits associated with ALG Vacations, collateral for estimated insurance claims, and securitization of our performance under certain debt repayment guarantees, which are only called on if the borrower defaults on its obligations or we default on our guarantees. Of the letters of credit outstanding, $4 million reduces the available capacity under our revolving credit facility (see Note 9).
Capital Expenditures—As part of our ongoing business operations, expenditures are required to complete renovation projects that have been approved.
Other—We act as general partner of various partnerships owning hotel properties that are subject to mortgage indebtedness. These mortgage agreements generally limit the lender's recourse to security interests in assets financed and/or other assets of the partnership(s) and/or the general partner(s) thereof.
In conjunction with financing obtained for our unconsolidated hospitality ventures and certain managed or franchised hotels, we may provide standard indemnifications to the lender for loss, liability, or damage occurring as a result of our actions or actions of the other unconsolidated hospitality venture partners or the respective third-party owners or franchisees.
As a result of certain dispositions, we have agreed to provide customary indemnifications to third-party purchasers for certain liabilities incurred prior to sale and for breach of certain representations and warranties made during the sales process, such as representations of valid title, authority, and environmental issues that may not be
limited by a contractual monetary amount. These indemnification agreements survive until the applicable statutes of limitation expire or until the agreed-upon contract terms expire.
We are subject, from time to time, to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes (see Note 11), and environmental matters, as well as commitments under contractual obligations. Many of these claims are covered under our current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined at this point, based on information currently available, we do not expect the ultimate resolution of such claims and litigation to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received a notice from the Indian tax authorities assessing additional service tax on our operations in India. We appealed this decision and do not believe a loss is probable, and therefore, we have not recorded a liability in connection with this matter. At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, our maximum exposure is not expected to exceed $18$19 million.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our reportable segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM")CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Effective January 1, 2023, we changed the strategic and operational oversight for our properties located in the Indian subcontinent. Revenues associated with these properties are now reported in the ASPAC management and franchising segment. The segment changes have been reflected retrospectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. We define our reportable segments as follows:

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA based on our ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude interest expense; benefit (provision) for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; amortization of management and hotel services agreement and franchise agreement assets and performance cure payments, which constitute payments to customers ("Contra revenue"); revenues for the reimbursement ofreimbursed costs; reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties; costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties that we intend to recover over the long term; equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures; stock-based compensation expense; gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other; asset impairments; and other income (loss), net.

The increases in comparable owned and leased hotels expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in the prior year, were primarily due to increased fixed and variable expenses at certain hotels. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 were also impacted by travel
disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 Omicron variant in the beginning of 2022, which contributed to lower variable expenses.
The decreases in non-comparable owned and leased hotels expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were primarily driven by disposition activity in 2022.
Distribution and destination management expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, distribution and destination management expenses decreased $4 million due to a decrease in volume as we experienced unseasonably high demand in this business in 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, distribution and destination management expenses increased $78 million, primarily driven by increases in certain variable overhead expenses and the recovery from the COVID-19 Omicron variant that negatively impacted travel in the beginning of 2022.
Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to assets placed in service, partially offset by the use of an accelerated amortization method for certain ALG intangible assets, which resulted in increased amortization expense in 2022, as well as dispositions of owned hotels. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $23 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by the aforementioned accelerated amortization method for certain ALG intangible assets, as well as dispositions of owned hotels.
Other direct costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, other direct costs increased $8 million and $57 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily driven by the Unlimited Vacation Club paid membership program and our co-branded credit card programs. The increases in the Unlimited Vacation Club paid membership program expenses were due to increased marketing and overhead costs from incremental contract sales as well as increased amortization of deferred commission expenses related to membership contract sales and upgrades, while the increases in our co-branded credit card programs were driven by a higher volume of point transfers. These increases were partially offset by lower revenues allocated to the loyalty program from our co-branded credit card programs and decreased expenses related to our residential management operations as certain properties were negatively impacted by the wildfires on the island of Maui, Hawaii that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The increase in management and franchise fees during the three months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, was more than offset by the decrease in other fees as the three months ended September 30, 2022 benefited from fees related to the termination of a management contract for a hotel in the pipeline. The increase in management, franchise, license, and other fees during the nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was driven by increases in management and franchise fees, primarily in Western and Southern Europe and the Middle East, due to higher demand and ADR resulting from travel disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 Omicron variant in the beginning of 2022, offset by the aforementioned pipeline management contract termination.

Owned and leased hotels revenues increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to increased Net Package RevPAR at certain properties. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 were also negatively impacted by travel disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 Omicron variant in the beginning of 2022.
Management, franchise, license, and other fees decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by decreased incentive management fees as hotel profits were negatively impacted by currency, partially offset by an increase in base management fees due to higher ADR and occupancy in the Americas and Europe. Management, franchise, license, and other fees increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as the aforementioned favorability in base management fees more than offset the negative currency impacts on incentive management fees. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 were also negatively impacted by travel disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 Omicron variant in the beginning of 2022.
Distribution and destination managementOther revenues decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, as 2022 experienced unseasonably high demand and included certain credits, which did not recur in 2023. The increase in distribution and destination management revenues during the nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by higher pricing. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 were also negatively impacted by travel disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 Omicron variant in the beginning of 2022.
Other revenues increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily driven by increased amortization due to incremental Unlimited Vacation Club membership contracts, which continue to be signed at higher average prices.

DuringMarch 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, the increase in Net Deferrals was less than the increase during the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to higher amortization as a result of incremental Unlimited Vacation Club membership contracts. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the increase in Net Financed Contracts was less than the increase during the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to expenses that will be incurred related to free nights for the Unlimited Vacation Club membership contracts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Net Deferrals and Net Financed Contracts increased due to Unlimited Vacation Club membership contract sales and higher pricing.
Net Deferrals represent cash received in the period for both membership down payments and monthly installment payments on financed contracts, less cash paid for costs incurred to sell new contracts, net of revenues and expenses recognized on our condensed consolidated statements of income during the period.
Net Financed Contracts represent contractual future cash flows due to the Company over an average term of less than 4 years, less expenses that will be incurred to fulfill the contract, net of monthly cash installment payments received during the period. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Net Financed Contract balance not recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets was $238 million and $186 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") and EBITDA
We use the termsterm Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA throughout this Quarterly Report. Adjusted EBITDA, and EBITDA, as we define them, areit, is a non-GAAP measures.measure. We define consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA based on our ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude the following items:
•interest expense;
•benefit (provision) for income taxes;
•depreciation and amortization;
•contra revenue;amortization of management and hotel services agreement and franchise agreement assets and performance cure payments, which constitute payments to customers (Contra revenue);
•revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties;reimbursed costs;
•reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties that we intend to recover over the long term;
•equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures;
•stock-based compensation expense;
•gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other;
•asset impairments; and
•other income (loss), net.
We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by adding the Adjusted EBITDA of each of our reportable segments and eliminations to corporate and otheroverhead Adjusted EBITDA.
Our board of directors and executive management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as one of the key performance and compensation measures both on a segment and on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operations both on a segment and on a consolidated basis. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our CODM, also evaluates the performance of each of our reportable segments and determines how to allocate resources to those segments, in part, by assessing the Adjusted EBITDA of each segment. In addition, the compensation committee of our board of directors
determines the annual variable compensation for certain members of our management based in part on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA, or some combination of both.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides investors with the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our operating performance and making compensation decisions and facilitates our comparison of results with results from other companies within our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries and among companies within the same industry, including interest expense and benefit (provision) for income taxes, which are dependent on company specifics, including capital structure, credit ratings, tax policies, and jurisdictions in which they operate; depreciation and amortization, which are dependent on company policies including how the assets are utilized as well as the lives assigned to the assets; Contra revenue, which is dependent on company policies and strategic decisions regarding payments to hotel owners; and stock-based compensation expense, which varies among companies as a result of different compensation plans companies have adopted. We exclude revenues for the reimbursement ofreimbursed costs and reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties which relate to the reimbursement of payroll costs and for system-wide services and programs that we operate for the benefit of our hotel owners as contractually we do not provide services or operate the related programs to generate a profit over the terms of the respective contracts. Over the long term, these programs and services are not designed to impact our economics, either positively or negatively. Therefore, we exclude the net impact when evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA includes reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of our managed and franchised properties related to system-wide services and programs that we do not intend to recover from hotel owners. Finally, we exclude other items that are not core to our operations, such as asset impairments and unrealized and realized gains and losses on marketable securities.
Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA areis not substitutesa substitute for net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation, net income (loss), or any other measure prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes items that do not reflect our core operations, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named non-GAAP measures that other companies may use to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income (loss) generated by our business. Our management compensates for these limitations by referencing our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally. See our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
See below for a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation to EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses exclude the impact of deferred compensation plans funded through rabbi trusts and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses assist us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operations, both on a segment and consolidated basis. See "—Results of Operations" for a reconciliation of selling, general and administrative expenses to Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses.
Comparable Hotels
"Comparable system-wide hotels" represents all properties we manage or franchise, including owned and leased properties, that are operated for the entirety of the periods being compared and that have not sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large-scale renovations during the periods being compared. Comparable system-wide hotels also exclude properties for which comparable results are not available. We may use variations of comparable system-wide hotels to specifically refer to comparable system-wide Americas hotels, including our wellness resorts, or our all-inclusive resorts, for those properties that we manage or franchise within the Americas management and franchising segment, comparable system-wide ASPAC hotels for those properties we manage or franchise within the ASPAC management and franchising segment, comparable system-wide EAME hotels for those properties that we manage or franchise within the EAME management and franchising segment, or comparable system-wide ALG all-inclusive resorts for those properties that we manage within the Apple
Leisure Group segment. "Comparable owned and leased hotels" represents all properties we own or lease that are operated and consolidated for the entirety of the periods being compared and have not sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large-scale renovations during the periods being compared. Comparable owned and leased hotels also excludes properties for which comparable results are not available. Comparable system-wide hotels and comparable owned and leased hotels are commonly used as a basis of measurement in our industry. "Non-comparable system-wide hotels" or "non-comparable owned and leased hotels" represent all hotels that do not meet the respective definition of "comparable" as defined above.
Constant Dollar Currency
We report the results of our operations both on an as-reported basis, as well as on a constant dollar basis. Constant dollar currency, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the effects of movements in foreign currency exchange rates between comparative periods. We believe constant dollar analysis provides valuable information regarding our results as it removes currency fluctuations from our operating results. We calculate constant dollar currency by restating prior-period local currency financial results at the current period's exchange rates. These restated amounts are then compared to our current period reported amounts to provide operationally driven variances in our results.
Average Daily RateADR
ADR represents hotel room revenues, divided by the total number of rooms sold in a given period. ADR measures the average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. ADR is a commonly used performance measure in our industry, and we use ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate by customer group, as changes in rates have a different effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described below.
Comparable system-wide and Comparable owned and leased
"Comparable system-wide" represents all properties we manage, franchise, or provide services to, including owned and leased properties, that are operated for the entirety of the periods being compared and that have not
sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large scale renovations during the periods being compared. Comparable system-wide also excludes properties for which comparable results are not available. We may use variations of comparable system-wide to specifically refer to comparable system-wide hotels, including our wellness resorts, or our all-inclusive resorts, for those properties that we manage, franchise, or provide services to within the management and franchising segment. "Comparable owned and leased" represents all properties we own or lease that are operated and consolidated for the entirety of the periods being compared and have not sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large-scale renovations during the periods being compared. Comparable owned and leased also excludes properties for which comparable results are not available. We may use variations of comparable owned and leased to specifically refer to comparable owned and leased hotels, including our wellness resorts, or our all inclusive resorts, for those properties that we own and lease within the owned and leased segment. Comparable system-wide and comparable owned and leased are commonly used as a basis of measurement in our industry. "Non-comparable system-wide" or "non-comparable owned and leased" represent all properties that do not meet the respective definition of "comparable" as defined above.
Constant Dollar Currency
We report the results of our operations both on an as-reported basis, as well as on a constant dollar basis. Constant Dollar Currency, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the effects of movements in foreign currency exchange rates between comparative periods. We believe constant dollar analysis provides valuable information regarding our results as it removes currency fluctuations from our operating results. We calculate Constant Dollar Currency by restating prior-period local currency financial results at the current period's exchange rates. These restated amounts are then compared to our current period reported amounts to provide operationally driven variances in our results.
Net Package ADR
Net Package ADR represents net package revenues divided by the total number of rooms sold in a given period. Net package revenues generally include revenue derived from the sale of package revenue at all-inclusive resorts comprised of rooms revenue, food and beverage, and entertainment, net of compulsory tips paid to employees. Net Package ADR measures the average room price attained by a hotel, and Net Package ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. Net Package ADR is a commonly used performance measure in our industry, and we use Net Package ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate by customer group, as changes in rates have a different effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above.
Net Package RevPAR
Net Package RevPAR is the product of the Net Package ADR and the average daily occupancy percentage. Net Package RevPAR generally includes revenue derived from the sale of package revenue comprised of rooms revenue, food and beverage, and entertainment, net of compulsory tips paid to employees. Our management uses Net Package RevPAR to identify trend information with respect to room revenues from comparable properties and to evaluate hotel performance on a regional and segment basis. Net Package RevPAR is a commonly used performance measure in our industry.
Occupancy
Occupancy represents the total number of rooms sold divided by the total number of rooms available at a hotel or group of hotels. Occupancy measures the utilization of a hotel's available capacity. We use occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help us determine achievable ADR levels as demand for hotel rooms increases or decreases.
RevPAR
RevPAR is the product of the ADR and the average daily occupancy percentage. RevPAR does not include non-room revenues, which consist of ancillary revenues generated by a hotel property, such as food and beverage, parking, and other guest service revenues. Our management uses RevPAR to identify trend information with respect to room revenues from comparable properties and to evaluate hotel performance on a regional and segment basis. RevPAR is a commonly used performance measure in our industry.
RevPAR changes that are driven predominantly by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenue levels and incremental profitability than do changes that are driven predominantly by changes in average room rates. For example, increases in occupancy at a hotel would lead to increases in room revenues and additional variable operating costs, including housekeeping services, utilities, and room amenity costs, and could also result in increased ancillary revenues, including food and beverage. In contrast, changes in average room rates typically have a greater impact on margins and profitability as average room rate changes result in minimal impacts to variable operating costs.

Net Financed Contracts
Net Financed Contracts represent Unlimited Vacation Club contracts signed during the period for which an initial cash down payment has been received and the remaining balance is contractually due in monthly installments over an average term of less than 4 years. The Net Financed Contract balance is calculated as the unpaid portion of membership contracts reduced by expenses related to fulfilling the membership program contracts and further reduced by an allowance for future estimated uncollectible installments. Net Financed Contract balances are not reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as our right to collect future installments is conditional on our ability to provide continuous access to member benefits at ALG resorts over the contract term, and the associated expenses to fulfill the membership contracts become liabilities of the Company only after the installments are collected. We believe Net Financed Contracts is useful to investors as it represents an estimate of future cash flows due in accordance with contracts signed in the current period. At September 30, 2023, the Net Financed Contract balance not recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $238 million.
Net Deferrals
Net Deferrals represent the change in contract liabilities associated with the Unlimited Vacation Club membership contracts less the change in deferred cost assets associated with the contracts. The contract liabilities and deferred cost assets are recognized as revenue and expense, respectively, on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) over the customer life, which ranges from 3 to 25 years. We believe Net Deferrals is useful to investors as it represents cash received that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We finance our business primarily with existing cash, short-term investments, and cash generated from our operations. As part of our long-term business strategy, we use net proceeds from dispositions to pay down debt; support new investment opportunities, including acquisitions; and return capital to our stockholders, when appropriate. If necessary, we borrow cash under our revolving credit facility or from other third-party sources and raise funds by issuing debt or equity securities. We maintain a cash investment policy that emphasizes the preservation of capital.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we issued the 2027 Notes and received approximately $596 million of net proceeds from the sale, which was used, together with cash on hand, to repay $638 million of the outstanding 2023 Notes at maturity. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.
We expect to successfully execute our commitment announced in August 2021 to realize $2.0 billion of gross proceeds from the disposition of owned assets, net of acquisitions, by the end of 2024. As of September 30, 2023,May 9, 2024, we have realizerealizd $721ed $1,496 million of proceeds from the net disposition of owned assets as part of this commitment.commitment, including the following dispositions that were completed in the second quarter of 2024:
•On April 4, 2024, we completed the sale of Park Hyatt Zurich for a sales price of CHF 270 million (approximately $300 million using exchange rates as of the closing date), including CHF 41 million (approximately $45 million) of seller financing;
•On April 23, 2024, we completed the sale of Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk for a sales price of $230 million; and
•On May 1, 2024, we completed the sale of Hyatt Regency Green Bay for a sales price of $5 million.
See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 6 and Note 19 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.
We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding equity and/or debt securities through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or an accelerated share repurchase transaction. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, restrictions in our existing or future financing arrangements, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we returned $144$403 million of capital to our stockholders through $388 million of share repurchases. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we made $16repurchases, inclusive of $76 million of Class A common stock and $312 million of Class B common stock, and $15 million of quarterly dividend payments.See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 13 and Note 15 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.
We believe that our cash position, short-term investments, cash from operations, borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, and access to the capital markets will be adequate to meet all of our funding requirements and capital deployment objectives in both the short term and long term.

We define net debt as total debt less the total of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. We consider net debt and its components to be an important indicator of liquidity and a guiding measure of capital structure strategy. Net debt is a non-GAAP measure and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table provides a summary of our debt-to-capital ratios:

Capital Expenditures
We routinely make capital expenditures to enhance our business. We classify our capital expenditures into maintenance and technology and enhancements to existing properties, and other.properties. We have been, and will continue to be, disciplined with respect to our capital spending, taking into account our cash flows from operations.

The decreaseincrease in capital expenditures is primarily driven by renovation spend at certain owned hotels in 2022, partially offset by renovations of a recently acquired property in 2023 and increased maintenance and technology spend. Total capital expenditures for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 include $20 million related to ALG. Our capital expenditures continue to be below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, primarily as a result of our net dispositions of owned assets.spend at certain regional offices.

Revolving Credit Facility
TheOur revolving credit facility is intended to provide financing for working capital and general corporate purposes, including commercial paper backup and permitted investments and acquisitions. At both September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, we had no balance outstanding. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements."
We are in compliance with all applicable covenants under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2023.March 31, 2024.
Letters of Credit
We issue letters of credit either under theour revolving credit facility or directly with financial institutions.

At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, these letters of credit, which mature on various dates through 2024,2025, had weighted-average fees of approximately 159135 basis points. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements."
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have disclosed those estimates that we believe are critical and require complex judgment in their application in our 20222023 Form 10-K, with an additional consideration below.
Contingent ConsiderationGuarantees
Contingent consideration payable arising from acquisitions is recorded atWe enter into performance guarantees related to certain hotels we manage. We also enter into debt repayment and other guarantees with respect to certain unconsolidated hospitality ventures, certain hospitality venture partners, certain managed or franchised hotels, and indemnifications provided as a result of certain dispositions for liabilities incurred prior to sale. We record a liability for the fair value as a liability on the acquisition date and remeasuredof these guarantees at each reportingtheir inception date. Changes in fair value are recognized in other income (loss), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. In order to estimate the fair value, we generally utilize a Monte Carlo simulation to model the probability of possible outcomes. Changes to the significant assumptions or factors used to determine fair value, in particular, assumptions related to the selection of discount rates, probabilities of achieving the contractual milestones, and timing of payments, could affect the fair value measurement upon acquisition and each reporting period thereafter.
Contingent consideration receivable arising from dispositions is recorded at fair value as an asset upon sale. Changes in the carrying value are recognized in gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other on our condensed consolidated statements of income when realizable. In order to estimate the fair value, we generally utilizeuse either scenario-based weighting, which utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation or a probability-based weighting approach to model the probability of possible outcomes. Changes tooutcomes, or the significantwith and without method under the income approach, which calculates the difference in present value of anticipated cash flows with and without the guarantee. The valuation methodology includes assumptions or factors used to determine fair value, in particular, assumptions related to the selection ofand judgments regarding probability weighting, discount rates, probabilities of accomplishing the contractual objectives,volatility, hotel operating results, hotel property sales prices, and timing of payments, could affectexpected cash flows. Our assumptions are based on our knowledge of the fair value measurement upon sale.
hospitality industry, market conditions, location of the property, contractual obligations, and likelihood of incurring costs related to claims for which we indemnify third parties, as well as other qualitative factors. See Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements—Note 64 and Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements."
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk, primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In certain situations, we seek to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates by entering into financial arrangements to provide a hedge against a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. We continue to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not hedged. We enter into derivative financial arrangements to the extent they meet the objectives described above, and we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. At September 30, 2023, we were a party to hedging transactions, including the use of derivative financial instruments, as discussed below.
Interest Rate Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of interest rateMarch 31, 2024, there have been no material changes due to our borrowing activities. Our objective is to manage the risk of interest rate changes on the results of operations, cash flows, and the market value of our debt by creating an appropriate balance between our fixed and floating-rate debt. We enter into interest rate derivative transactions from time to time, including interest rate swaps and interest rate locks, in order to maintain a level of exposure to interest rate variability that we deem acceptable.
At both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we did not hold any interest rate swap or outstanding interest rate lock contracts.
The following table sets forth the contractual maturities and the total fair values at September 30, 2023 for our financial instruments materially affected by interest rate risk:

Foreign Currency Exposures and Exchange Rate Instruments
We transact business in various foreign currencies and utilize foreign currency forward contracts to offset our exposure associated with the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. The U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amount of the outstanding forward contracts, which relate to intercompany transactions, with terms of less than one year were $154 million and $155 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
We intend to offset the gains and losses related to our third-party debt and intercompany transactions with gains or losses on our foreign currency forward contracts such that there is a negligible effect on our annual net income. Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what we previously disclosed in response to Item 7A to Part II of our 2022Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For10-K for the three and nine monthsfiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the effects of these derivative instruments resulted in $6 million of net gains and insignificant net losses, respectively, recognized in other income (loss), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the effects of these derivative instruments resulted in $13 million and $30 million, respectively, of net gains recognized in other income (loss), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. We offset the gains and losses on our foreign currency forward contracts with gains and losses related to our intercompany loans and transactions, such that there is a negligible effect on our net income. At September 30, 2023, we had $5 million of assets recorded in prepaids and other assets, and at December 31, 2022, we had $1 million of liabilities recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to derivative instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, workers' compensation and other employee claims, intellectual property claims, and claims related to our management of certain hotel properties.
