NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively "Hyatt Hotels Corporation") has offerings that consist of full services hotels, select service hotels, all-inclusive resorts, and other forms of residential, vacation ownership, and condominium units. We also offer travel distribution and destination management services through ALG Vacations ("ALG Vacations") and a paid membership program through the Unlimited Vacation Club. At March 31, 2022, (i) we operated or franchised 519 full service hotels, comprising 171,823 rooms throughout the world, (ii) we operated or franchised 542 select service hotels, comprising 78,419 rooms, of which 445 hotels are located in the United States, and (iii) we operated, franchised, or marketed 111 all-inclusive resorts, comprising 36,152 rooms. At March 31, 2022, our portfolio of properties operated in 71 countries around the world. Additionally, through strategic relationships, we provide certain reservation and/or loyalty program services to hotels that are unaffiliated with our hotel portfolio and operate under other tradenames or marks owned by such hotels or licensed by third parties.

As used in these Notes and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

•"Hyatt," "Company," "we," "us," or "our" mean Hyatt Hotels Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries;

•"hotel portfolio" refers to our full service hotels, including our wellness resorts, our select service hotels, and our all-inclusive resorts;

•"properties," "portfolio of properties," or "property portfolio" refer to our hotel portfolio and residential, vacation ownership, and condominium units that we operate, manage, franchise, own, lease, develop, license, or to which we provide services or license our trademarks, including under the:

◦Park Hyatt, Miraval, Grand Hyatt, Alila, Andaz, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Destination by Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt, Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, Thompson Hotels, Hyatt Centric, Caption by Hyatt, JdV by Hyatt, Hyatt House, Hyatt Place, UrCove, Hyatt Residences Club brands; and

◦Secrets Resorts & Spas, Dreams Resorts & Spas, Breathless Resorts & Spas, Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts, Vivid Hotels & Resorts, Alua Hotels & Resorts, and Sunscape Resorts & Spas brands (collectively the "AMR Collection"); and

•"hospitality ventures" refers to entities in which we own less than a 100% equity interest.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. As a result, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Form 10-K").

We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consolidate entities under our control, including entities where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are all of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adopted Accounting Standards

Government Assistance—In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-10 ("ASU 2021-10"), Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 requires annual disclosures that are expected to increase the transparency of transactions involving government grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity's financial statements. The provisions of ASU 2021-10 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2021, and we adopted ASU 2021-10 on January 1, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-10 on our annual disclosures and do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Future Adoption of Accounting Standards

Reference Rate Reform—In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04"), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions that we can elect to adopt, subject to meeting certain criteria, regarding contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 are available through December 31, 2022, and we are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04.
