Forward Guidance

Park Hotels is revising its full-year outlook due to the continued underperformance of the two Hilton San Francisco Hotels.

Positive Outlook

  • Ongoing strength in Park's Hawaii market
  • Acceleration of group business
  • Adjusted FFO excludes an incremental $15 million of default interest and late payment administrative fees associated with default of the SF Mortgage Loan, which is required to be recognized in interest expense
  • Fully diluted weighted average shares are expected to be 217 million
  • Includes $14 million of Hotel Adjusted EBITDA disruption from a full-scale renovation at the Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Challenges Ahead

  • Uncertainty surrounding macro-economic factors, such as inflation and increases in interest rates
  • Supply chain disruptions
  • Possibility of an economic recession or slowdown
  • The two Hilton San Francisco Hotels will remain in Park's portfolio for the remainder of 2023
  • Full-year 2023 outlook as of May 1, 2023 included the Embassy Suites Phoenix Airport hotel, which was subsequently removed from Park's portfolio in June 2023 upon the termination of its ground lease by the lessor
