RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Policies) | 3 Months Ended
--- | ---
Mar. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting | The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes (the "Notes") 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.
Consolidation | 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.
Transaction and Integration Costs | Transaction and Integration Costs—During the year ended December 31, 2024, we presented a new financial statement line item to provide enhanced visibility on our condensed consolidated statements of income and reclassified prior-period results for comparability. Transaction and integration costs include the following: •integration costs, which were recognized in integration costs during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and primarily include expenses incurred related to the integration of recently acquired businesses, including certain compensation expenses, professional fees, sales and marketing expenses, and technology expenses; •transaction costs for potential transactions, primarily related to professional fees incurred for acquisitions and dispositions, which were recognized in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2024; and •transaction costs for transactions completed during the period, primarily related to professional fees incurred for acquisitions, which were recognized in other income (loss), net during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Transaction costs incurred during the period of a completed disposition continue to be recognized in gains on sales of real estate and other.
Future Adoption of Accounting Standards | Future Adoption of Accounting Standards Disclosure Improvements—In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations. 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. 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. Expense Disaggregation Disclosures—In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03 ("ASU 2024-03"), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain costs and expenses presented on the consolidated statements of income, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, as clarified by Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for any or all prior periods presented. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
Revenue Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations | 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.
Insurance | Insurance—We obtain insurance for potential losses from general liability, property, automobile, aviation, environmental, workers' compensation, employment practices, crime, cyber, and other miscellaneous risks. A portion of these 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.
Commitments and Contingencies | 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 properties, 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 to various claims and contingencies arising in the normal course of business, which are primarily related to lawsuits and taxes (see Note 11), as well as commitments under contractual obligations. Many of these claims are covered under our current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. We record a liability when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable, and if the loss is recoverable from third parties, we record a receivable when the realization of the claim is probable. 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, 2024, the Missouri Court of Appeals issued an opinion affirming a previous verdict awarding damages to a guest at one of our managed hotels. We requested the Missouri Supreme Court exercise jurisdiction over the appeal, and our petition was denied on April 1, 2025. In connection with this matter, we recorded an estimated liability in accrued expenses and other current liabilities with an offsetting receivable from insurance recorded in receivables, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Segment Realignment | 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") to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. We define our operating and reportable segments as follows: •Management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from the provision of management, franchising, and hotel services, or the licensing of our intellectual property to, (i) our property portfolio, (ii) our co-branded credit card programs, and (iii) other hospitality-related businesses, including the Unlimited Vacation Club following the UVC Transaction. Intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from our owned and leased hotels and commission fees earned from certain ALG Vacations bookings, both of which are eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, we recognize revenues for reimbursed costs in this segment primarily related to payroll at managed properties where we are the employer, as well as costs associated with system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. •Owned and leased—This segment derives its earnings from owned and leased hotel properties located predominantly in the United States but also in certain international locations, and for purposes of segment Adjusted EBITDA, includes our pro rata share of unconsolidated hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA, primarily based on our ownership percentage of each venture. Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany management fee expenses paid to our management and franchising segment, which are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment revenues relate to promotional award redemptions earned by our owned and leased hotels related to our co-branded credit card programs and are eliminated in consolidation. •Distribution—This segment derives its earnings from distribution and destination management services offered through ALG Vacations and the boutique and luxury global travel platform offered through Mr & Mrs Smith. Prior to the UVC Transaction, this segment also included earnings from a paid membership program offering benefits exclusively at certain all-inclusive resorts primarily in Latin America and the Caribbean. Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany commission fee expenses paid to our management and franchising segment, which are eliminated in consolidation. Within overhead, we include unallocated corporate expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude transaction and integration costs (see Note 1), and we recast prior-period results to provide comparability. The revised definition excludes integration costs, which were recognized in integration costs during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and transaction costs, which were recognized in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Previously, only transaction costs recognized in gains on sales of real estate and other and other income (loss), net were excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. As transaction and integration costs may vary in frequency or magnitude, we believe the revised definition presents a more representative measure of our core operations, assists in the comparability of results, and provides information consistent with how our management evaluates operating performance. Our CODM evaluates performance based on segment revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Our CODM uses these measures to evaluate trends and assess segment operating performance as compared to our prior-period and forecasted results as well as our industry and competitors in order to determine how to allocate resources to each segment. Significant segment expenses include Adjusted general and administrative expenses, owned and leased expenses, and distribution expenses. Our CODM does not evaluate our operating segments using discrete asset information. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and our pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA, primarily based on our ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude amortization of management and hotel services agreement and franchise agreement assets ("key money assets") and performance cure payments, which constitute payments to customers ("Contra revenue"); revenues for reimbursed costs; stock-based compensation expense; transaction and integration costs; depreciation and amortization; reimbursed costs that we intend to recover over the long term; equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures; interest expense; gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other; asset impairments; other income (loss), net; and benefit (provision) for income taxes. Adjusted general and administrative expenses exclude the impact of deferred compensation plans funded through rabbi trusts and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted 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.
