Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am very pleased with our third quarter results, with Comparable RevPAR increasing over 3% compared to the third quarter of 2023, driven by accelerating demand trends at our hotels in Chicago, New Orleans, and Boston coupled with strong performance at our Key West and Orlando hotels, which continue to benefit from recently completed transformative renovations. Group demand continues to improve with 2024 Comparable Group Revenue Pace up over 9% compared to the same time last year, driven by improvements in business demand, an increase in citywide events and strong convention calendars benefiting our Chicago, New Orleans and New York hotels, as well as in-house group events benefiting our Florida hotels. Our Florida hotels sustained minimal damage and business interruption from Hurricanes Helene and Milton and remain fully operational. I am grateful to our teams for navigating these hurricanes that have impacted many communities in the Southeast.
Additionally, during the third quarter, we continued to execute our capital allocation strategies by disposing of non-core assets, including the Hilton Oakland Airport, repurchasing an additional 2.5 million shares of our common stock for $35 million at a significant discount to our estimated net asset value, and investing in our portfolio, commencing over $200 million of comprehensive guestroom renovations at the iconic Rainbow Tower at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, the Palace Tower at the Hilton Waikoloa Village and the Main Tower at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. With current liquidity of over $1.4 billion, we remain laser-focused on creating long-term shareholder value by further strengthening our balance sheet through non-core asset sales and investments back into our core portfolio with value-enhancing ROI projects and returning capital to shareholders in the form of dividends and leverage neutral share repurchases.”
Additional Highlights
- In July 2024, the unconsolidated joint venture that owns and operates the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines sold the hotel for gross proceeds of approximately $165 million, and the Company's pro-rata share of the gross proceeds was approximately $41 million, which was reduced by Park's portion of debt of approximately $17 million;
- In August 2024, repurchased 2.5 million shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $35 million at an average purchase price of $13.85 per share;
- In August 2024, permanently closed the 360-room Hilton Oakland Airport, which incurred an EBITDA loss of nearly $4 million for the trailing twelve months, and subsequently terminated its ground lease, returning the property to the ground lessor;
- In October 2024, paid its third quarter 2024 cash dividend of $0.25 per share to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2024; and
- In October 2024, the Waldorf Astoria Orlando was ranked 9th in the world by Condé Nast Traveler in its prestigious 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards for the Best Resorts in the World.

Park continued to see improvements in group demand from ongoing strength at its urban hotels and certain resort hotels, with Comparable group revenues for the third quarter of 2024 increasing by approximately 13% year-over-year. Comparable RevPAR growth for the third quarter was driven by increases at its urban and resort hotels of approximately 5% and 2%, respectively, year-over-year. Park's urban hotels benefited from increased group business and citywide events, including the Hilton New Orleans Riverside and the Hilton Chicago where group revenues increased nearly 56% and over 36%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2023, which drove increases in RevPAR of approximately 26% and 20%, respectively. Park's Orlando hotels continued to benefit from an increase in group demand following the transformative renovation at the Bonnet Creek Orlando complex in early 2024, with group revenues increasing nearly 92% and 41% at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando and Signia Bonnet Creek hotel, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2023, which drove increases in RevPAR of approximately 46% and 9%, respectively.
At the end of September 2024, Comparable Group Revenue Pace and room night bookings for 2024 increased over 9% and 4%, respectively, as compared to what 2023 group bookings were at the end of September 2023, with 2024 average Comparable group rates projected to exceed 2023 average Comparable group rates by approximately 5% for the same time period. Additionally, at the end of September 2024, Comparable Group Revenue Pace and room night bookings for 2025 increased over 5% and nearly 2%, respectively, as compared to what 2024 group bookings were at the end of September 2023, with 2025 average Comparable group rates projected to exceed 2024 average Comparable group rates by over 3% for the same time period.
Hurricane Update
Park's hotels located in Key West, Miami and Orlando, remained fully operational while sustaining minimal damage and business interruption from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which impacted the Southeast in September 2024 and October 2024, respectively.

DEFINITIONS
Comparable
The Company presents certain data for its consolidated hotels on a Comparable basis as supplemental information for investors: Comparable Hotel Revenues, Comparable RevPAR, Comparable Occupancy, Comparable ADR, Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company presents Comparable hotel results to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of its hotels. The Company’s Comparable metrics include results from hotels that were active and operating in Park's portfolio since January 1st of the previous year and property acquisitions as though such acquisitions occurred on the earliest period presented. Additionally, Comparable metrics exclude results from property dispositions that have occurred through October 29, 2024 and the Hilton San Francisco Hotels, which were placed into receivership at the end of October 2023.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin
Earnings 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 also interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization included in equity in earnings from investments in affiliates.
Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude the following items that are not reflective of Park's ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business, and thus, excluded from management's analysis in making day-to-day operating decisions and evaluations of Park's operating performance against other companies within its industry:
- 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. Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to the Company to reinvest in the growth of its business or as measures of cash that will be available to the Company to meet its obligations. Further, the Company does not use or present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin as measures of liquidity or cash flows.
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;
- Casualty gains or losses; and
- 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) debt 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. Net Debt also excludes Debt associated with hotels in receivership.
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. 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 (or rate) 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. 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. 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.
Group Revenue Pace
Group Revenue Pace represents bookings for future business and is calculated as group room nights multiplied by the contracted room rate expressed as a percentage of a prior period relative to a prior point in time.
