BETHESDA, MD – July 13, 2011 - Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR) today reported second quarter 2011 results, exceeding the company’s prior year results.

SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

Second quarter 2011 net income totaled $135 million, a 13 percent increase compared to second quarter 2010 net income. Diluted EPS totaled $0.37, a 19 percent increase from diluted EPS in the year-ago quarter. On April 20, 2011, the company forecasted second quarter diluted EPS of $0.34 to $0.38.

J.W. Marriott, Jr., Marriott International chairman and chief executive officer, said, “Around the world, we’ve never been more excited about our opportunities. Now in 71 countries, the Marriott International brand portfolio, already the broadest in the industry, is growing rapidly. We expect to add over 200 hotels to our system in 2011, leveraging the hospitality and local

know-how of our associates with our global size, systems, and guest loyalty programs. Emerging markets provide especially attractive opportunities. In the past five years, we have increased our hotel distribution in Brazil, Russia, India and China at a 12 percent compound annual growth rate while tripling our development pipeline in those markets.

“As the world’s economy continues to recover, results at prime destination hotels from Europe to Asia show our appeal with customers. In the U.S., strengthening lodging demand and limited supply growth are contributing to higher occupancies and room rate growth. While our market share in the U.S. is currently 10 percent, Marriott International brands accounted for about a quarter of new industry openings and conversions over the last 12 months, reflecting the strength of our portfolio and preference for our brands.

“We continue to generate substantial cash flow and repurchase stock, returning over $700 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends year-to-date. Clearly, we have plenty of reason for optimism.”

For the 2011 second quarter, REVPAR for worldwide comparable systemwide properties increased 6.8 percent (a 7.7 percent increase using actual dollars).

International comparable systemwide REVPAR rose 7.3 percent (an 11.9 percent increase using actual dollars), including a 5.8 percent increase in average daily rate (a 10.4 percent increase using actual dollars) in the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the Middle East and Japan markets, international comparable systemwide constant dollar REVPAR rose 12.4 percent (a 17.5 percent increase using actual dollars).

In North America, comparable systemwide REVPAR increased 6.6 percent in the second quarter of 2011, including a 3.1 percent increase in average daily rate. While hotels in Washington, D.C. continued to reflect weaker demand associated with a shorter Congressional calendar and concerns regarding government budgets, most North American markets reflected both strong demand increases and modest supply growth. Excluding the Washington, D.C. market, North American comparable systemwide REVPAR rose 7.1 percent in the quarter. REVPAR for comparable systemwide North American full-service and luxury hotels (including Marriott Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton and Renaissance Hotels) increased 6.0 percent in the second

quarter with a 4.0 percent increase in average daily rate. REVPAR for comparable systemwide North American limited-service hotels (including Courtyard, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites, TownePlace Suites and Fairfield Inn & Suites) increased 7.2 percent in the second quarter with a 2.8 percent increase in average daily rate.

Marriott added 32 new properties (4,512 rooms) to its worldwide lodging portfolio in the 2011 second quarter, including the spectacular Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong and two Autograph hotels, The Lodge and Spa at Calloway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia and Kessler Canyon in Colorado. Ten properties (1,603 rooms) exited the system during the quarter. At quarter-end, the company’s lodging group encompassed over 3,600 properties and timeshare resorts for a total of nearly 634,000 rooms.

The company’s worldwide pipeline of hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or approved for development increased to 635 properties with over 100,000 rooms at quarter-end.

MARRIOTT REVENUES totaled nearly $3.0 billion in the 2011 second quarter compared to nearly $2.8 billion for the second quarter of 2010. Base management and franchise fees rose 12 percent to $269 million reflecting higher REVPAR at existing hotels and fees from new hotels. Second quarter worldwide incentive management fees increased 9 percent to $50 million. While incentive fees rose in most markets around the world, growth was constrained by lower incentive fees in the Middle East and slightly lower incentive fees in the Greater Washington, D.C. market. In the second quarter, 25 percent of company-managed hotels earned incentive management fees.

North American comparable company-operated house profit margins increased 100 basis points in the second quarter reflecting higher occupancy and rate increases. House profit margins for comparable company-operated properties outside North America increased 10 basis points and were challenged by lower REVPAR in the Middle East and Japan. Excluding the Middle East and Japan markets, international house profit margins in the 2011 second quarter increased approximately 160 basis points. For full year 2011, the company expects house profit margins to increase 100 to 125 basis points in North America and roughly 150 basis points outside North America excluding the Middle East and Japan markets.

Owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct expenses, declined $2 million in the 2011 second quarter, to $29 million, largely reflecting $4 million of lower termination fees, net of related costs.

In the second quarter, Timeshare segment contract sales declined $4 million to $163 million from adjusted segment contract sales of $167 million (excluding a $6 million allowance for fractional and residential contract cancellations) in the year-ago quarter. Marriott’s timeshare business remained focused in the second quarter on increasing the number of existing customers enrolled in its new points-based program. The program allows customers to purchase timeshare in smaller increments than the traditional one-week product and allows greater flexibility of use. Since the program launched in June 2010, nearly 75,000 existing owners have enrolled more than 140,000 weeks in the points program, continuing to exceed the company’s expectations. Contract sales to existing owners represented more than 61 percent of sales in the quarter compared to 48 percent in the year-ago quarter. While sales to existing customers were strong, with fewer sales to new customers year-over-year and a lower average contract price, second quarter timeshare contract sales were flat compared to the year-ago quarter. Fractional and residential contract sales declined by $4 million due to continued weak demand for luxury products.

In the second quarter, Timeshare sales and services revenue, net of expenses, declined $7 million to $43 million largely due to lower interest income on a smaller mortgage portfolio and, to a lesser extent, higher product costs. Compared to expectations, second quarter timeshare sales and services revenue, net of expenses, reflected greater than expected deferred revenue.

Timeshare segment results include Timeshare sales and services revenue, net of direct expenses, as well as base management fees, gains and other income, equity in earnings (losses), interest expense and general, administrative and other expenses associated with the timeshare business. Timeshare segment results for the 2011 second quarter totaled $29 million and included $12 million of interest expense related to securitized Timeshare notes. In the prior year quarter, Timeshare segment results totaled $32 million and included $14 million of interest expense related to securitized Timeshare notes.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE and OTHER expenses for the 2011 second quarter increased 12 percent to $159 million, compared to expenses of $142 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in expenses reflected several non-routine items including $7 million of higher legal expenses, a $5 million payment related to the performance of one hotel, $3 million of transaction-related expenses associated with the spin-off of the timeshare business, as well as higher costs associated with growth in international markets and routine compensation increases. The increase in expenses was partially offset by a $5 million reversal of a loan loss provision.

INTEREST EXPENSE decreased $7 million to $37 million in the second quarter, primarily due to higher capitalized interest and lower total debt balances.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS (LOSSES) improved $4 million in the quarter from a $4 million loss in the year-ago quarter. The $4 million year-over-year improvement included $2 million of lower loss at one Timeshare joint venture and $2 million of increased earnings from stronger property-level performance at two lodging joint ventures.

Earnings before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)

Marriott International EBITDA totaled $287 million in the 2011 second quarter, a 3 percent increase over EBITDA of $278 million in the year-ago quarter. EBITDA for the Timeshare segment declined 11 percent to $50 million in the 2011 second quarter largely due to lower interest income. See pages A-10 and A-11 for the EBITDA calculations.

BALANCE SHEET

At the end of the second quarter 2011, total debt was $2,922 million, including $156 million of outstanding commercial paper, and cash balances totaled $117 million, compared to $2,829 million in debt and $505 million of cash at year-end 2010.

COMMON STOCK

Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS totaled 369.4 million in the 2011 second quarter compared to 377.4 million in the year-ago quarter.

The company repurchased 10.6 million shares of common stock in the second quarter of 2011 at a cost of $375 million. Year-to-date through June 17, 2011, Marriott repurchased 18.5 million shares of its stock for $675 million. The remaining share repurchase authorization, as of June 17, 2011, totaled 30.4 million shares.

THIRD QUARTER 2011 OUTLOOK

For the third quarter, the company assumes North American comparable systemwide REVPAR will increase 5 to 7 percent reflecting strong demand in most markets, but continued weak demand in Washington, D.C.

Outside North America, the company assumes third quarter 2011 comparable systemwide REVPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 6 to 8 percent, excluding the Middle East and Japan markets. Including the Middle East and Japan markets, comparable systemwide REVPAR outside North America could be approximately 200 basis points lower.

On a worldwide basis, the company expects third quarter 2011 comparable systemwide REVPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 6 to 8 percent excluding the Middle East and Japan markets. Including the Middle East and Japan markets, worldwide comparable systemwide REVPAR could be approximately 100 basis points lower.

The company assumes third quarter 2011 Timeshare contract sales will total $165 million to $175 million and Timeshare sales and services revenue, net of direct expenses, will total approximately $40 million to $45 million. With these assumptions, Timeshare segment results for the third quarter, including interest expense associated with securitized notes, are expected to total $25 million to $30 million.

For the 2011 third quarter, the company expects general and administrative costs to total $165 million to $170 million reflecting higher year-over-year workout costs, as well as higher costs in international growth markets.

2011 OUTLOOK

The company’s 2011 guidance assumes that the planned spin-off of the Timeshare segment does not occur in the current year and does not include pro forma adjustments or estimates of further transaction expenses. Such transaction costs could be material in the second half of 2011.

The company assumes full year 2011 North American comparable systemwide REVPAR will increase 6 to 8 percent. Outside North America, the company assumes comparable systemwide REVPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 7 to 9 percent, excluding the Middle East and Japan markets. Including the Middle East and Japan markets, comparable systemwide REVPAR outside North America could be approximately 200 basis points lower for full year 2011.

On a worldwide basis, the company expects full year 2011 comparable systemwide REVPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 6 to 8 percent, excluding the Middle East and Japan markets. Including the Middle East and Japan markets, worldwide comparable systemwide REVPAR could be 50 to 75 basis points lower.

The company expects to add approximately 35,000 rooms in 2011 as most hotels expected to open are already under construction or undergoing conversion from other brands. Given these assumptions, full year 2011 fee revenue could total $1,305 million to $1,325 million, an increase of 10 to 12 percent.

Owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct expense, could total $120 million to $125 million.

The company expects 2011 Timeshare contract sales to be slightly below 2010 adjusted levels and timeshare sales and services revenue, net of direct expenses, to total $205 million to $215 million, $10 million lower than prior guidance largely due to lower reportability and higher rental expenses. Timeshare segment results are expected to total $140 to $150 million in 2011.

The company expects its 2011 general and administrative costs to total $710 million to $720 million reflecting several non-routine items including higher workout costs and year-to-date transaction-related expenses associated with the planned spin-off of the timeshare business, as well as higher costs associated with growth in international markets. Compared to full year guidance issued in April 2011, the company expects a $5 million increase to general and administrative costs largely due to year-to-date expenses associated with the planned spin-off of the timeshare business.

All in all, the company expects full year 2011 diluted EPS of $1.35 to $1.43.

In 2011, we changed the management reporting structure for properties located in Hawaii. Some base management fees we previously recognized under our International lodging segment we now recognize under our Timeshare segment. For comparability, we have reclassified prior year Timeshare segment revenues and segment results to reflect these changes. These reclassifications only impacted certain segment reporting (including the Timeshare segment) and did not change total consolidated revenue, operating income, or net income.

In 2011, we changed the management reporting structure for lodging properties located in Hawaii. Some base management fees we previously recognized under our International lodging segment we now recognize under our Timeshare segment. For comparability, we have reclassified prior year Timeshare segment results to reflect these changes. These reclassifications only impacted certain segment reporting (including the Timeshare segment) and did not change total consolidated revenue, operating income, or net income.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not prescribed or authorized by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We discuss management’s reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below, and the press release schedules (or other reconciliations identified below) reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we refer to (identified by a double asterisk on the preceding pages). Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, earnings per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated and/or presented differently than measures with the same or similar names that are reported by other companies, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Adjusted Measures That Exclude Certain Charges. Management evaluates non-GAAP measures that exclude certain charges incurred in the 2010 fourth quarter because those non-GAAP measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of material charges. These non-GAAP measures also facilitate management’s comparison of results from our on-going operations before material charges with results from other lodging companies.

Certain Charges - Fourth Quarter 2010. We recorded net charges of $100 million in the 2010 fourth quarter which included an $84 million impairment charge associated with an internally developed software asset and a $27 million impairment charge associated with the anticipated disposition of a land parcel and a golf course. These charges were partially offset by an $11 million reversal recorded in the 2010 fourth quarter of a funding liability recorded in 2009. Due to the significant impact of the recent recession on hotel owner profitability, we agreed to absorb a portion of the cost of the software asset and recorded an $84 million impairment charge on the investment in the fourth quarter to reflect the expected unrecovered cost. We consider our core operations to encompass managing and franchising properties, and therefore we also consider the $27 million impairment charge associated with ancillary assets to be unrelated to our core operations. Except for the impairment charges totaling $27 million of which $13 million impacted our Timeshare Segment and $14 million impacted our North American Limited-Service segment, the rest of the other charges in 2010 were not allocated to any of our segments.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) reflects earnings excluding the impact of interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Management considers EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because we use it to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. We also use EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (described below) exclude certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make.

Adjusted EBITDA. Management also evaluates Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the $100 million of net charges recorded in the 2010 fourth quarter for the reasons noted above under “Adjusted Measures That Exclude Certain Charges, Costs, and Other Expenses.”

Timeshare Segment EBITDA. Timeshare segment EBITDA reflects Timeshare segment results excluding the impact of interest expense, tax expense and depreciation and amortization. We do not allocate taxes to our Timeshare or other segments. Management uses this non-GAAP measure for the reasons noted previously under the “EBITDA” caption.

Adjusted Pretax Margin Excluding Reimbursed Costs. Cost reimbursements revenue represents reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties and relates, predominantly, to payroll costs at managed properties where we are the employer. As we record cost reimbursements based upon costs incurred with no added markup, this revenue and related expense has no impact on either our operating income or net income because cost reimbursements revenue net of reimbursed costs expense is zero. We consider total revenues excluding costs reimbursements and therefore, adjusted pretax margin excluding reimbursed costs to be meaningful metrics as they represent that portion of revenue and pretax margin that impacts operating income and net income.
