Overview
Christopher J. Nassetta, President & Chief Executive Officer of Hilton, said, "We were pleased to see continued recovery throughout 2021, with our fourth quarter showing strong results versus 2019. Although new variants of the virus have had some short-term impact, we are optimistic about the acceleration of recovery across all segments during 2022. We remain confident in the future of our business and our ability to continue to drive strong net unit growth and free cash flow, fueled by higher margins."
During the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, while the COVID-19 pandemic continued to negatively impact Hilton's business and hotel operating statistics, Hilton experienced significant improvement in its results compared to 2020 attributable to increased travel and tourism. As a result of the pandemic, certain hotels suspended operations at various times throughout 2020, but the majority of those hotels were reopened by the beginning of 2021. In line with the recovery, although some hotels did suspend operations during the year ended December 31, 2021, reopenings significantly outpaced suspensions. As such, the operations of only approximately 360 hotels, primarily located in the U.S. and Europe, were suspended for some period of time during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to approximately 1,280 hotels during the year ended December 31, 2020. Nearly all of the hotels that suspended operations at some point since the start of the pandemic had reopened as of December 31, 2021.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, system-wide comparable RevPAR increased 104.2 percent and 60.4 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020, due to increases in both occupancy and ADR. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, fee revenues increased 91 percent and 60 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. For comparison to pre-pandemic results, system-wide comparable RevPAR for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 were down 13.5 percent and 30.0 percent, respectively, compared to the three months and year ended December 31, 2019.
For the three months ended December 31, 2021, diluted EPS was $0.52 and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, was $0.72 compared to $(0.81) and $(0.10), respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA were $148 million and $512 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $(225) million and $204 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, diluted EPS was $1.46 and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, was $2.08 compared to $(2.58) and $0.10, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020. Net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA were $407 million and $1,629 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $(720) million and $842 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS for both the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 were revised from the previously reported amount of 279 million for both periods to 278 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 277 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as the previously reported dilutive shares were determined to be anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss attributable to Hilton stockholders reported during those periods. |
|
(2) |
Amounts represent the amortization of finite-lived intangible assets that were recorded at fair value in 2007 when the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of affiliates of Blackstone Inc. Certain of these assets became fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2020, and the majority of the remaining assets will be fully amortized during 2023. |
|
(3) |
The amount for the year ended December 31, 2021 relates to the redemption of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2026 and includes a redemption premium of $55 million and the accelerated recognition of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the redeemed notes of $14 million. The amounts for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 relate to the redemptions of the 4.250% Senior Notes due 2024 and the 4.625% Senior Notes due 2025 and include redemption premiums totaling $31 million and the accelerated recognition of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the redeemed notes of $17 million. |
|
(4) |
The amounts for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 include income tax benefits recognized related to changes in effective tax rates. The benefits recognized did not have an effect on cash paid for taxes in the periods. |
|
(5) |
The amounts for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 include costs recognized for certain legal settlements, which were recognized in general and administrative expenses and other expenses, respectively. The amounts for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 also include gains related to reimbursements by a third party for taxes owed from the sale of a hotel in a prior period, and the year ended December 31, 2020 further includes losses related to the disposal of an investment and the settlement of a debt guarantee for a franchised hotel, which were all recognized in other non-operating income (loss), net. Amounts for all periods include losses (gains) on asset dispositions. |
|
(6) |
The weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was revised from the previously reported amount of 279 million to 278 million, as the previously reported dilutive shares were determined to be anti-dilutive as a result of a net loss, adjusted for special items, reported during the period. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, remained unchanged at 279 million shares as net income, adjusted for special items, was reported for the period. |

HILTON WORLDWIDE HOLDINGS INC.
DEFINITIONS
Net Income (Loss), Adjusted for Special Items, and Diluted EPS, Adjusted for Special Items
Net income (loss), adjusted for special items, and diluted earnings (loss) per share ("EPS"), adjusted for special items, are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company's definition of net income (loss), adjusted for special items, and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Net income (loss), adjusted for special items, and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, are included to assist investors in performing meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means of highlighting the results of the Company's ongoing operations.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
EBITDA, presented herein, reflects net income (loss), excluding interest expense, a provision for income tax benefit (expense) and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including gains, losses, revenues and expenses in connection with: (i) asset dispositions for both consolidated and unconsolidated equity investments; (ii) foreign currency transactions; (iii) debt restructurings and retirements; (iv) furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") replacement reserves required under certain lease agreements; (v) share-based compensation; (vi) reorganization, severance, relocation and other expenses; (vii) non-cash impairment; (viii) amortization of contract acquisition costs; (ix) the net effect of reimbursable costs included in other revenues and other expenses from managed and franchised properties; and (x) other items.
Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues, adjusted to exclude the amortization of contract acquisition costs and other revenues from managed and franchised properties.
The Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors about the Company's financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) these measures are among the measures used by the Company's management team to evaluate its operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions and (ii) these measures 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. Additionally, these measures exclude certain items that can vary widely across different industries and among competitors within the Company's industry. For instance, interest expense and income taxes are dependent on company specifics, including, among other things, capital structure and operating jurisdictions, respectively, and, therefore, could vary significantly across companies. Depreciation and amortization expenses, as well as amortization of contract acquisition costs, are dependent upon company policies, including the method of acquiring and depreciating assets and the useful lives that are used. For Adjusted EBITDA, the Company also excludes items such as: (i) FF&E replacement reserves for leased hotels to be consistent with the treatment of capital expenditures for property and equipment, where payments for such capitalized assets are depreciated over their useful lives; (ii) share-based compensation, as this could vary widely among companies due to the different plans in place and the usage of them; (iii) the net effect of the Company's cost reimbursement revenues and reimbursed expenses, as the Company contractually does not operate the related programs to generate a profit over the terms of the respective contracts; and (iv) other items, such as amounts related to debt restructurings and debt retirements and reorganization and related severance costs, that are not core to the Company's operations and are not reflective of the Company's operating performance.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives, either in isolation or as a substitute, for net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flows, derived in accordance with GAAP. Further, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered as other methods of analyzing the Company's results as reported under GAAP.
Net Debt and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
Net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, presented herein, are non-GAAP financial measures 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 discount, and (ii) the Company's share of unconsolidated affiliate debt; reduced by: (a) cash and cash equivalents and (b) restricted cash and cash equivalents.
Net debt should not be considered as a substitute to debt presented in accordance with GAAP, and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio should not be considered as an alternative to measures of financial condition derived in accordance with GAAP. Net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio provide useful information about its indebtedness to investors as they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the indebtedness between companies.
Comparable Hotels
The Company defines comparable hotels as those that: (i) were active and operating in the Company's system for at least one full calendar year as of the end of the current period, and open January 1st of the previous year; (ii) have not undergone a change in brand or ownership type during the current or comparable periods reported; and (iii) have not sustained substantial property damage, business interruption, undergone large-scale capital projects or for which comparable results were not available. Of the 6,777 hotels in the Company's system as of December 31, 2021, 5,524 hotels were classified as comparable hotels. The 1,253 non-comparable hotels included 70 hotels, or approximately one percent of the total hotels in the Company's system, that were removed from the comparable group during the last twelve months because they sustained substantial property damage, business interruption, underwent large-scale capital projects or comparable results were otherwise not available.
When considering business interruption in the context of the Company's definition of comparable hotels, no hotel that had completely or partially suspended operations on a temporary basis at any time as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic was excluded from the definition of comparable hotels on that basis alone. Despite these temporary suspensions of hotel operations, the Company believes that including these hotels within the hotel operating statistics of occupancy, average daily rate ("ADR") and revenue per available room ("RevPAR"), if they would have otherwise been included, reflects the underlying results of the business for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
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 for a given period. Occupancy measures the utilization of the 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 ADR pricing levels as demand for hotel rooms increases or decreases.
ADR
ADR represents hotel room revenue divided by the total number of room nights sold for 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 the industry, and management uses ADR to assess pricing levels that the Company is able to generate by type of customer, as changes in rates charged to customers have different effects on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above.
RevPAR
RevPAR is calculated by dividing hotel room revenue by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Management considers RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company's performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key drivers of operations at a hotel or group of hotels, as previously described: occupancy and ADR. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods for comparable hotels.
References to occupancy, ADR and RevPAR throughout this press release are presented on a comparable basis, based on the comparable hotels as of December 31, 2021, and references to ADR and RevPAR are presented on a currency neutral basis, unless otherwise noted. As such, comparisons of these hotel operating statistics for the three months and years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 or 2019 use the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the results of the Company's foreign operations within its financial statements for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.
