HYATT REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER 2021 RESULTS
Strong Leisure Demand Drives Positive Momentum
6.5% Net Rooms Growth


CHICAGO (May 4, 2021) - Hyatt Hotels Corporation ("Hyatt" or the "Company") (NYSE: H) today reported first-quarter 2021 financial results. Net loss attributable to Hyatt was $304 million, or $2.99 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021, compared to net loss attributable to Hyatt of $103 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted net loss attributable to Hyatt was $363 million, or $3.57 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021, compared to Adjusted net loss attributable to Hyatt of $35 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020. Refer to the table on page 11 of the schedules for a summary of special items impacting Adjusted net loss and Adjusted losses per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.

Mark S. Hoplamazian, president and chief executive officer of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, said, "First quarter results exceeded expectations as demand improved meaningfully over the course of the quarter. The expansion of vaccine distribution and the easing of travel restrictions in certain markets fueled improved confidence in travel in many of the markets in which we operate. We also reported strong net rooms growth of 6.5%, reaching an important milestone with the opening of our 1,000th hotel in the quarter."

First quarter of 2021 highlights are as follows:
Net losses increased compared to the first quarter of 2020 to a net loss of $304 million. The net loss included a $193 million non-cash full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred income tax assets.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 123.3% compared to the first quarter of 2020, to $(20) million.
Comparable system-wide RevPAR decreased 48.9% compared to the first quarter of 2020, and decreased 65.4% compared to the first quarter 2019 on a reported basis.1

Mr. Hoplamazian continued, "While risks do remain in the management of the pandemic, we are optimistic about continued growth of demand in the coming months and the balance of 2021. The demand levels we saw in March have continued through April. While leisure travel continues to lead the recovery, we are encouraged by positive indicators across other travel segments as well."

OPERATIONAL UPDATE
Comparable system-wide RevPAR and comparable owned and leased hotel RevPAR improved in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The pace of recovery varied by region and was favorably impacted by the easing of travel restrictions in certain markets and strengthening demand for leisure-oriented destinations. Consistent with trends in each of the last two quarters, the recovery was led by relative strength in Greater China and United States select service hotels. Additionally, certain resort hotels experienced a notable sequential improvement in demand.

Comparable system-wide RevPAR strengthened through the first quarter, increasing over 50% from January to March 2021, and reaching the highest level since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results were driven by strong leisure transient demand, particularly on weekends and holidays. Group and business transient demand also gained momentum through the quarter, but at a more modest pace. The Company's overall Adjusted EBITDA for March 2021 was positive.

As of March 31, 2021, 96% of total system-wide hotels (94% of rooms) were open.
FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
First quarter of 2021 financial results as compared to the first quarter of 2020 are as follows:

Management, Franchise and Other Fees
Total management and franchise fee revenues decreased 40.6% (40.7% decrease in constant currency) to $49 million, reflecting a sequential improvement from $47 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Other fee revenues decreased 46.7% to $14 million.

Americas Management and Franchising Segment
Americas management and franchising segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 59.3% (59.2% decrease in constant currency) to $28 million, reflecting a sequential improvement over the three months of the quarter and lapping the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that began in March of 2020. At March 31, 2021, 93% of Hyatt's Americas full service hotels (92% of rooms) and 99% of Americas select service hotels (99% of rooms) were open.

ASPAC net rooms increased 13.6% compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Europe, Africa, Middle East and Southwest Asia (EAME/SW Asia) Management and Franchising Segment

EAME/SW Asia net rooms increased 3.3% compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Owned and Leased Hotels Segment
Total owned and leased hotels segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 183.5% (184.7% decrease in constant currency) to $(29) million. Owned and leased hotels segment results were heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but improved meaningfully over the three months of the quarter driven by stronger demand. Refer to the table on page 9 of the schedules for a detailed list of portfolio changes and the year-over-year net impact to total owned and leased hotels segment Adjusted EBITDA. At March 31, 2021, 85% of Hyatt's owned and leased hotels (83% of rooms) were open.

Corporate and Other
Corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA increased 13.3% (13.7% increase in constant currency) to $(24) million, reflecting a $3 million improvement as compared to the first quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily due to cost containment initiatives that reduced expenses, predominantly payroll and related costs.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 102.0%, inclusive of rabbi trust impact and stock-based compensation. Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 22.5%, or $16 million, as a result of cost containment initiatives that drove decreases in payroll and related costs. Refer to the table on page 12 of the schedules for a reconciliation of selling, general, and administrative expenses to Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes
Net loss in the quarter included a $193 million non-cash full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred income tax assets. This valuation allowance was based on an accounting assessment, as required by U.S. GAAP, which places significant weight on the Company's recent pre-tax book losses resulting from the impact of

COVID-19 on our business. This valuation allowance does not impact cash flows, and does not limit the ability to benefit from current period losses and deferred tax assets on future tax filings.
The Company filed a 2020 U.S. tax refund claim in the quarter and expects to receive a tax refund of approximately $250 million in the second half of 2021 in connection with 2020 net operating losses carried back to prior years under the CARES Act.

OPENINGS AND FUTURE EXPANSION
Twenty-three new hotels (or 3,919 rooms) opened in the first quarter of 2021, contributing to a 6.5% increase in net rooms compared to the first quarter of 2020.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had executed management or franchise contracts for approximately 490 hotels (or approximately 100,000 rooms).

No additional disposition of acquisition activity beyond what has been completed as of the date of this release has been included in the forecast. The Company's outlook is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the control of the Company. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results. Results of operations as presented on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) include expenses recognized with respect to deferred compensation plans funded through rabbi trusts.

DEFINITIONS
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) and EBITDA
We use the terms Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA throughout this earnings release. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA, as the Company defines them, are non-GAAP measures. We define consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus its pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA based on its ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude the following items:
interest expense;
benefit (provision) for income taxes;
depreciation and amortization;
Contra revenue;
revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties;
costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties that we intend to recover over the long term;
equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures;
stock-based compensation expense;
gains on sales of real estate;
asset impairments; and
other income (loss), net

We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by adding the Adjusted EBITDA of each of our reportable segments and eliminations to corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA.

Our board of directors and executive management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance and compensation measure both on a segment and on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDA assists 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 on a consolidated basis. Our president and chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, also evaluates the performance of each of our reportable segments and determines how to allocate resources to those segments, in significant part, by assessing the Adjusted EBITDA of each segment. In addition, the compensation committee of our board of directors determines the annual variable compensation for certain members of our management based in part on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA, or some combination of both.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides investors the same information that the Company uses internally for purposes of assessing operating performance and making compensation decisions and facilitates our comparison of results before these items with results from other companies within our industry.

Page 15



Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries and among companies within the same industry. For instance, interest expense and benefit (provision) for income taxes are dependent upon company specifics, including capital structure, credit ratings, tax policies, and jurisdictions in which they operate, and therefore, can vary significantly across companies. Depreciation and amortization are dependent on company policies including how the assets are utilized as well as the lives assigned to the assets, and Contra revenue is dependent on company policies and strategic decisions regarding payments to hotel owners. We exclude revenues for the reimbursement of costs and costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties which relate to the reimbursement of payroll costs and for system-wide services and programs that we operate for the benefit of our third-party owners and franchisees as contractually we do not provide services or operate the related programs to generate a profit over the terms of the respective contracts. Over the long term, these programs and services are not designed to impact our economics, either positively or negatively. Therefore, we exclude the net impact when evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA includes costs incurred on behalf of our managed and franchised properties related to system-wide services and programs that we do not intend to recover from hotel owners. We exclude stock-based compensation expense to remove the variability amongst companies resulting from different compensation plans companies have adopted. Finally, we exclude other items that are not core to our operations, such as asset impairments and unrealized and realized gains and losses on marketable securities.

Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not substitutes for net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation, net income (loss), or any other measure prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes items that do not reflect our core operations, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named non-GAAP measures that other companies may use to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income (loss) generated by our business. Our management compensates for these limitations by reference to its GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues excluding Contra revenue and revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties (Adjusted revenues). We believe Adjusted EBITDA margin is useful to investors because it provides investors the same information that the Company uses internally for purposes of assessing operating performance.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
Adjusted net income (loss), as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation excluding special items, which are those items deemed not to be reflective of ongoing operations. We consider Adjusted net income (loss) to be an indicator of operating performance because excluding special items allows for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations.

Page 16



Adjusted net income (loss) is not a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation, net income (loss), or any other measure prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted net income (loss). Although we believe that Adjusted net income (loss) can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes special items that are deemed not to be reflective of ongoing operations, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted net income (loss) differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted net income (loss) or similarly named non-GAAP measures that other companies may use to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, Adjusted net income (loss) should not be considered as a measure of the loss generated by our business. Our management compensates for these limitations by reference to its GAAP results and using Adjusted net income (loss) supplementally.

Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
Adjusted SG&A expenses, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted SG&A expenses exclude the impact of deferred compensation plans funded through rabbi trusts and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted SG&A 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.

Comparable Owned and Leased Hotels Operating Margin
We define comparable owned and leased hotels operating margin as the difference between comparable owned and leased hotels revenues and comparable owned and leased hotels expenses. Comparable owned and leased hotels revenues is calculated by removing non-comparable hotels revenues from owned and leased hotels revenues as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Comparable owned and leased hotels expenses is calculated by removing both non-comparable owned and leased hotels expenses and the impact of expenses funded through rabbi trusts from owned and leased hotels expenses as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). We believe comparable owned and leased hotels operating margin is useful to investors because it provides investors the same information that the Company uses internally for purposes of assessing operating performance.

Comparable Hotels
"Comparable system-wide hotels" represents all properties we manage or franchise (including owned and leased properties) and that are operated for the entirety of the periods being compared and that have not sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large scale renovations during the periods being compared or for which comparable results are not available. Hotels that have temporarily suspended operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic are included in our definition of comparable system-wide hotels. We may use variations of comparable system-wide hotels to specifically refer to comparable system-wide Americas full service or select service hotels for those properties that we manage or franchise within the Americas management and franchising segment, comparable system-wide ASPAC full service or select service hotels for those properties we manage or franchise within the ASPAC management and franchising segment, or comparable system-wide EAME/SW Asia full service or select service hotels for those properties that we manage or franchise within the EAME/SW Asia management and franchising segment. "Comparable owned and leased hotels" represents all properties we own or lease and that are operated and consolidated for the entirety of the periods being compared and have not sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large scale renovations during the
Page 17



periods being compared or for which comparable results are not available. Hotels that have temporarily suspended operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic are included in our definition of comparable owned and leased hotels. Comparable system-wide hotels and comparable owned and leased hotels are commonly used as a basis of measurement in our industry. "Non-comparable system-wide hotels" or "non-comparable owned and leased hotels" represent all hotels that do not meet the respective definition of "comparable" as defined above.

Constant Dollar Currency
We report the results of our operations both on an as reported basis, as well as on a constant dollar basis. Constant dollar currency, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the effects of movements in foreign currency exchange rates between comparative periods. We believe constant dollar analysis provides valuable information regarding our results as it removes currency fluctuations from our operating results. We calculate constant dollar currency by restating prior-period local currency financial results at the current period’s exchange rates. These restated amounts are then compared to our current period reported amounts to provide operationally driven variances in our results.

Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR)
RevPAR is the product of the average daily rate and the average daily occupancy percentage. RevPAR does not include non-room revenues, which consist of ancillary revenues generated by a hotel property, such as food and beverage, parking, and other guest service revenues. Our management uses RevPAR to identify trend information with respect to room revenues from comparable properties and to evaluate hotel performance on a regional and segment basis. RevPAR is a commonly used performance measure in our industry.

RevPAR changes that are driven predominantly by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenue levels and incremental profitability than do changes that are driven predominantly by changes in average room rates. For example, increases in occupancy at a hotel would lead to increases in room revenues and additional variable operating costs (including housekeeping services, utilities, and room amenity costs), and could also result in increased ancillary revenues (including food and beverage). In contrast, changes in average room rates typically have a greater impact on margins and profitability as average room rate changes result in minimal impacts to variable operating costs.

Average Daily Rate (ADR)
ADR represents hotel room revenues, divided by the total number of rooms 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 our industry, and we use ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate by customer group, as changes in rates have a different effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above.

Occupancy
Occupancy represents the total number of rooms sold divided by the total number of rooms available at a hotel or group of hotels. Occupancy measures the utilization of a hotel's available capacity. We use occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help us determine achievable ADR levels as demand for hotel rooms increases or decreases.
