Additional highlights for the third quarter include:

Generated positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, with 38 of 45 of Park's open consolidated hotels exceeding break-even levels;
Completed the sales of the Hotel Adagio, Autograph Collection, and the Le Meridien San Francisco for total gross proceeds of approximately $304 million; and
Repaid $419 million of the term loan entered into in August 2019 ("2019 Term Facility") and fully repaid the remaining $13 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility ("Revolver"). Year-to-date 2021, the Company partially repaid $592 million of the 2019 Term Facility, leaving just $78 million outstanding.

Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am extremely proud of our continued progress toward our strategic priorities for 2021. We reached break-even at the corporate level for the third quarter – the first time since the pandemic began – and celebrated the reopening of the New York Hilton Midtown in early October. In addition, with the completion of five hotel sales in 2021 totaling $477 million in gross proceeds, we exceeded our stated asset sales target of $300-$400 million and used the proceeds to de-leverage the balance sheet. Additionally, we extended maturities for over $2 billion of debt since the start of the pandemic and with current liquidity of $1.8 billion, Park is well-positioned for future growth opportunities. Despite the near-term impact of the Delta variant on our industry, we remain encouraged by the overall progression of the lodging industry's recovery and expect increasing demand trends across all segments into 2022 across our portfolio, including group business where bookings for 2022 increased for the fifth consecutive quarter.”

For the third quarter of 2021, Park’s portfolio generated positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA with 38 of 45 of Park’s open consolidated hotels exceeding break-even levels.

Domestic leisure transient demand experienced some disruption from the Delta variant beginning late August 2021 coupled with customary seasonal decline after significant growth during the summer as COVID-19 vaccinations rates increased, domestic restrictions eased and restrictions on international travel continued. The Pro-forma Rooms Revenue mix for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for the 45 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of the third quarter of 2021 or 40 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of the first nine months of 2021 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,									Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021			2020			2019			2021			2020			2019
Group		13.1	%		13.4	%		26.2	%		9.6	%		26.5	%		27.9	%

Other		1.9			1.9			2.1			1.8			2.2			2.0

The change in Pro-forma Rooms Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2019 for the 45 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of the third quarter of 2021 or 40 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of the first nine months of 2021 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,			Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021 vs. 2019			2021 vs. 2019
Group		(67.1	)%		(80.7	)%
Transient		(20.8	)		(30.4	)
Contract		(40.1	)		(14.0	)
Other		(39.7	)		(52.3	)

Group demand was tempered in the third quarter by the increase in COVID-19 cases related to the Delta variant, and certain markets have experienced attrition related to group cancellations. Park expects to see a return of group demand beginning in the second quarter of 2022 in select markets as groups continued to push out meetings originally scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of 2021 into 2022. Group bookings for 2022 have increased each of the past five quarters, growing by nearly 260,000 room nights, or nearly 31%, since September 30, 2020 with acceleration following the approval of COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use in November 2020. As of September 30, 2021, 2022 group bookings are approximately 66% of what 2019 group bookings were as of September 30, 2018, a slight decrease from last quarter due to cancellations in Q1 2022 and a slowdown in bookings as a result of concerns over the Delta variant. Despite this setback, 2022 average group rates on the books remain strong, exceeding 2019 average group rates on the books at September 30, 2018.

Highlights for Park's consolidated hotels owned as of November 3, 2021 in each of the Company’s key markets, segmented between leisure and other markets, are as follows:

Leisure Markets

Hawaii: Both Hawaii hotels continued to benefit from domestic leisure demand, generating positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter of 2021. Hilton Waikoloa Village and Hilton Hawaiian Village achieved peak occupancy of 92% and 91% in July 2021, respectively, and occupancy of 77% and 76%, respectively, for the quarter. Rate increased by 25% at the Hilton Waikoloa Village compared to the third quarter of 2019;
Orlando: Park’s Orlando hotels continued to benefit from strong leisure demand in July, resulting in peak combined occupancy of 72% in July 2021 and combined occupancy of 49% for the quarter, while still achieving a 15% increase in rate compared to the third quarter of 2019;
New Orleans: The Hilton New Orleans Riverside benefited from an increase in leisure demand and also experienced an increase in occupancy to 74% in September from housing first responders, displaced residents and others following Hurricane Ida in late August. The hotel achieved occupancy of 50% for the quarter;
Southern California: Park’s hotels in Southern California benefited from an increase in leisure demand during the summer, resulting in peak occupancy of 81% in July 2021 and 74% for the quarter, an increase of 7 percentage points from the second quarter of 2021. Compared to the third quarter of 2019, rate increased by 22%;

Other Markets

San Francisco: Three of Park's four hotels in the San Francisco market are open and achieved a combined occupancy of 41% for the quarter. The JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square and Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf, both of which remained open throughout the pandemic and benefited from strong transient demand throughout the summer, achieved peak occupancy of 68% and 90% in July 2021, respectively, and 67% and 84% for the quarter, respectively, an increase of approximately 21 and 24 percentage points, respectively, from the second quarter of 2021;
Boston: Park’s Boston hotels benefited from demand from airline crews coupled with strong leisure demand, achieving peak combined occupancy of 72% in August 2021 and 69% for the quarter, an increase of 24 percentage points from the second quarter of 2021;
New York: The New York Hilton Midtown reopened in October 2021 and preliminary results were strong, with preliminary rate that was 96% of October 2019 and better than expected local group and catering revenue, including a 1,300-person event;
Chicago: Park's five hotels in Chicago achieved a combined occupancy of 39% for the quarter and a combined average rate that was just 8% below the combined average rate achieved for the third quarter 2019. In particular, the Hilton Chicago Downtown saw only a 1% decrease in rate versus the third quarter of 2019, mostly due to strong group and leisure demand in July;
Denver: The Hilton Denver benefited from a sporting-related group event in July, which resulted in occupancy of 77% in July 2021. Occupancy for the quarter was 68%, an increase of 18 percentage points from the second quarter of 2021, and rate declined by just 4% versus the same period in 2019;
Washington, D.C.: Park’s hotels in the Washington, D.C. market benefited primarily from leisure demand, with peak combined occupancy of 46% for August 2021 and 43% for the quarter, an increase of 13 percentage points from the second quarter of 2021; and
Seattle: Park’s Seattle hotels benefited from demand from airline crews and strong summer leisure travel with peak combined occupancy of 66% in July 2021 and 61% for the quarter, an increase of 10 percentage points from the second quarter of 2021.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Park and its hotel managers have taken several proactive steps to reduce the Company's burn rate, increase liquidity and mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on its business, including reducing labor and other operating expenses and cutting forecasted expenditures for 2021 to approximately $56 million for maintenance projects. As a result of these measures, coupled with expected continued leisure demand and the continued distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, Park's portfolio generated positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Park achieved break-even results at the corporate level during the third quarter.

Park’s Net Debt as of September 30, 2021 was $4.1 billion. Utilizing the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Secured Notes and the sales of five hotels during 2021 to repay outstanding debt, the Company has just $78 million outstanding on its sole remaining corporate term loan. Park's current liquidity is over $1.8 billion, including $1.075 billion of available capacity under the Company's Revolver.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Park suspended dividend payments following the payment of its first quarter 2020 dividend.

Full-Year 2021 Outlook

Given the continued economic uncertainty, travel restrictions and rapidly changing circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Park is not providing an outlook for full-year 2021 at this time.

The Company’s ability to predict future operating results remains significantly impacted by the current COVID-19 pandemic. Park expects that the trends affecting the economy will continue to depress hotel operating results across the portfolio. While recent trends have shown signs of improvement, the economic environment continues to lack sufficient clarity at this time to provide accurate guidance.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to Park’s current expectations regarding the performance of its business, financial results, liquidity and capital resources, including the expected reopening dates for the Company’s hotels and dates that its properties will break even or achieve positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, the impact to the Company's business and financial condition and that of its hotel management companies, measures being taken in response to COVID-19, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations, the expected completion of anticipated dispositions, the declaration and payment of future dividends and other non-historical statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, and in some cases, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “hopes” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could materially affect its results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance or future achievements or events. Currently, one of the most significant factors continues to be the adverse effect of COVID-19, including resurgences, on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, its hotel management companies and its hotels’ tenants, and the global economy and financial markets. COVID-19 has significantly affected the Company’s business, and the extent to which COVID-19 continues to affect the Company, its hotel managers, tenants and guests at the Company’s hotels will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its effect, the emergence of virus variants, the efficacy, availability and deployment of vaccinations and other treatments to combat COVID-19, including public adoption rates of COVID-19 vaccines, additional closures that may be mandated or advisable even after the reopening of certain of the Company’s hotels on a limited basis, whether due to an increased number of COVID-19 cases or otherwise, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified in the risk factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and Park urges investors to carefully review the disclosures Park makes concerning risk and uncertainties in Item 1A: “Risk Factors” in Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Park’s filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as required by law, Park undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

DEFINITIONS

Pro-forma

The Company presents certain data for its consolidated hotels on a pro-forma hotel basis as supplemental information for investors: Pro-forma Hotel Revenues, Pro-forma RevPAR, Pro-forma Total RevPAR, Pro-forma Occupancy, Pro-forma ADR, Pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company presents pro-forma hotel results to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of its hotels. The Company’s pro-forma metrics exclude results from property dispositions that have occurred through November 3, 2021 and include results from property acquisitions as though such acquisitions occurred on the earliest period presented.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin

Earnings (loss) before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), presented herein, reflects net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income taxes and interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization included in equity in earnings (losses) from investments in affiliates.

Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude:

Gains or losses on sales of assets for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments;
Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period;
Severance expense;
Share-based compensation expense;
Impairment losses and casualty gains or losses; and
Other items that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current or future operating performance.

Hotel Adjusted EBITDA measures hotel-level results before debt service, depreciation and corporate expenses of the Company’s consolidated hotels, which excludes hotels owned by unconsolidated affiliates, and is a key measure of the Company’s profitability. The Company presents Hotel Adjusted EBITDA to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company’s consolidated hotels.

Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Hotel Adjusted EBITDA divided by total hotel revenue.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under United States (“U.S.”) GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company’s definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors about the Company and its financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are among the measures used by the Company’s management team to make day-to-day operating decisions and evaluate its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the effect of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results; and (ii) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in the industry.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other methods of analyzing the Company’s operating performance and results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders, Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders Nareit FFO per share - diluted and Adjusted FFO per share - diluted

Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders and Nareit FFO per diluted share (defined as set forth below) are presented herein as non-GAAP measures of the Company’s performance. The Company calculates funds from (used in) operations (“FFO”) attributable to stockholders for a given operating period in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), as net income (loss) attributable to stockholders (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on sales of assets, impairment, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect the Company’s pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis. As noted by Nareit in its December 2018 “Nareit Funds from Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement,” since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For these reasons, Nareit adopted the FFO metric in order to promote an industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance. The Company believes Nareit FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs. The Company’s presentation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the terms in accordance with the current Nareit definition, or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently. The Company calculates Nareit FFO per diluted share as Nareit FFO divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during a given operating period.

The Company also presents Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders and Adjusted FFO per diluted share when evaluating its performance because management believes that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Management historically has made the adjustments detailed below in evaluating its performance and in its annual budget process. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of operating performance. The Company adjusts Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders:

Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period;
Severance expense;
Share-based compensation expense;
Other items that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current or future operating performance.

Net Debt

Net debt, presented herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate its financial leverage. Net debt is calculated as (i) long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; and (ii) the Company’s share of investments in affiliate debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; reduced by (a) cash and cash equivalents; and (b) restricted cash and cash equivalents.

The Company believes Net debt provides useful information about its indebtedness to investors as it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the indebtedness of companies. Net debt should not be considered as a substitute to debt presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net debt may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies.

Occupancy

Occupancy represents the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available at a hotel or group of hotels. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. Occupancy measures the utilization of the Company’s hotels’ available capacity. Management uses occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help management determine achievable Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) levels as demand for rooms increases or decreases.

Average Daily Rate

ADR represents rooms revenue divided by total number of room nights sold in a given period. ADR measures 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 the hotel industry, and management uses ADR to assess pricing levels that the Company is able to generate by type of customer, as changes in rates have a more pronounced effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above.

Revenue per Available Room

Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) represents rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. Management considers RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company’s performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key factors of operations at a hotel or group of hotels: occupancy and ADR. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods.

Total RevPAR

Total RevPAR represents rooms, food and beverage and other hotel revenues divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. Management considers Total RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company’s performance as approximately one-third of revenues are earned from food and beverage and other hotel revenues. Total RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods.
