Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Results and Announces Transformative Renovation at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami

TYSONS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (鈥淧ark鈥� or the 鈥淐ompany鈥�) (NYSE: PK) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2024 and provided an operational update.

Selected Statistical and Financial Information

(unaudited, amounts in millions, except RevPAR, ADR, Total RevPAR and per share data)

Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am extremely pleased with our fourth quarter and full-year performance, which exceeded expectations despite the impact of renovations and strike activity in the second half of the year. When adjusting for the impact of strike activity, fourth quarter Comparable RevPAR would have increased more than 3%, while full-year Comparable RevPAR would have grown by a sector-leading 4.2%. Exceptional performance at our Bonnet Creek and Key West hotels drove our 2024 results, underscoring the success of our transformative renovations at these properties. Looking ahead, we anticipate continued strength in group demand, with Comparable Group Revenue Pace for 2025 up nearly 6% year-over-year, driven by increased corporate demand, with active citywide convention calendars in many of our markets and more in-house group events in our Florida and Hawaii hotels, including the Hilton Waikoloa Village where 2025 Group Revenue Pace has surged nearly 70% compared to the same time last year.

We continue to execute on our strategic priorities, disposing of three non-core assets in 2024, including the sale of two joint venture hotels for a combined $200 million, and since 2017, we have disposed of 45 hotels for over $3 billion as we continue to make significant progress reshaping our portfolio. Additionally, we returned over $400 million of capital back to our shareholders, including repurchasing 8.0 million shares of our common stock, addressed our 2025 debt maturities and reinvested nearly $230 million back into our portfolio. Building on this momentum, we are excited to announce the $100 million transformative renovation at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami, scheduled to begin late spring, alongside the second phase of guestroom renovations and room conversions at our Hawaii and New Orleans hotels. We remain laser-focused on creating long-term shareholder value, and despite expected renovation disruption at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami of 110 basis points to 2025 Comparable RevPAR, we expect Comparable RevPAR growth to be between 0.0% and 3.0%.鈥�

Additional Highlights

• During 2024, repurchased 8.0 million shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $116 million at an average purchase price of $14.44 per share;
• Declared a total of $1.40 of dividends to stockholders in 2024, which includes a dividend of $0.65 during the fourth quarter, comprised of a regular quarterly dividend and a top-off dividend based on 2024 operating results;
• Recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Most Responsible Companies in 2024 and 2025, the fifth time Park has been included in the annual survey, as well as one of America's Most Trustworthy Companies for 2024. Park also received the 2024 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award for Energy Management for the second consecutive year, the only hotel company to once again earn this recognition for its energy management program;
• The Waldorf Astoria Orlando was ranked 9^th in the world by Cond茅 Nast Traveler in its prestigious 2024 Readers鈥� Choice Awards for the Best Resorts in the World, following the over $220 million transformative expansion and full-scale renovation of the Waldorf Astoria Orlando and Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek hotels, including the opening of the Waterside Ballroom, in January 2024;
• In December 2024, the consolidated joint venture that owned the 375-room DoubleTree Hotel Spokane City Center sold the hotel for gross proceeds of $35 million, or approximately $93,000 per key. When adjusted for Park鈥檚 anticipated capital expenditures (鈥渃apex鈥�), the sale price represents a 6.2% capitalization rate on trailing 12-month net operating income (9.2% excluding capex), or 13.0x trailing 12-month EBITDA (8.7x excluding capex). Proceeds from the sale were used to repay the $13.5 million mortgage on the property and the approximately $10 million representing Park's pro rata share of the remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes;
• 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 July 2024, the unconsolidated joint venture that owned and operated 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; and
• In May 2024, issued $550 million of 7.0% senior notes due 2030 ("2030 Senior Notes") and amended the Company's existing credit agreement to include a new $200 million senior unsecured term loan facility due May 2027 ("2024 Term Loan"). Net proceeds from the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2024 Term Loan were used to repurchase or redeem all of the $650 million of 7.5% senior notes due in 2025 ("2025 Senior Notes"), and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes.

Operational Update

Results for Park's Comparable hotels in each of the Company鈥檚 key markets and by hotel type are as follows:

During 2024, Park continued to see improvements in group demand at its resort hotels that benefited from comprehensive renovation and expansion projects, as well as certain of its urban hotels, with Comparable group revenues increasing by over 8% year-over-year despite the impact of strike and related labor activity primarily during the fourth quarter. During the fourth quarter, excluding the impact of strike and related labor activity, Comparable RevPAR growth was over 3% year-over-year, driven by increased group business at Park's Florida hotels. Following recent transformative renovations, group revenues at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando increased nearly 56%, driving an increase in RevPAR of over 76%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, and group revenues at the Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection, increased by nearly 89%, driving RevPAR growth of nearly 77% as rooms were closed until December 2023. Additionally, the Hilton New York Midtown and the Hilton Chicago benefited from increased group revenues of 16% and 7%, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, which drove increases in RevPAR of nearly 4% and 15%, respectively.

At the end of December 2024, Comparable Group Revenue Pace and room night bookings for 2025 increased nearly 6% and 2%, respectively, as compared to what 2024 group bookings were at the end of December 2023, with 2025 average Comparable group rates projected to exceed 2024 average Comparable group rates by nearly 4% for the same time period.

Strike and Related Labor Activity Update

Beginning in late September 2024, the operations at four of Park's hotels were impacted by strike and related labor activity including: the 2,860-room Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort; the 604-room Hilton Boston Logan Airport; the 850-room DoubleTree Hotel Seattle Airport; and the 396-room Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center. Following negotiations between the operators and labor unions at these hotels, in November 2024, long-term labor agreements were ratified, and standard hotel operations resumed. Park experienced $32 million of Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA disruption related to strike and related labor activity during the full-year ended December 31, 2024, with minimal impact expected on 2025 performance.

The impact of strike and related labor activity on quarterly and full-year 2024 Comparable RevPAR and Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin is outlined below:

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2024, Park's liquidity was approximately $1.4 billion, including $950 million of available capacity under the Company's revolving credit facility ("Revolver"). In addition, Park's Net Debt was approximately $3.6 billion, which excludes the $725 million non-recourse CMBS Loan ("SF Mortgage Loan") secured by the 1,921-room Hilton San Francisco Union Square and 1,024-room Parc 55 San Francisco 鈥� a Hilton Hotel (collectively, the "Hilton San Francisco Hotels"), which were placed in receivership in October 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, the weighted average maturity of Park's consolidated debt, excluding the SF Mortgage Loan, is 3.2 years.

Park had the following debt outstanding as of December 31, 2024:

Capital Investments

In January 2024, Park completed the over $220 million project at its Bonnet Creek Orlando complex. The project included the addition of the Waterside Ballroom and Central Park Ballroom, as well as renovations to guestrooms, existing meeting space, lobbies, food and beverage outlets, the golf course, and other recreational amenities. In November 2024, Park completed phase one of guestroom renovations totaling $16 million at the Main Tower at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, and, thus far in 2025, Park has completed the first phase of guestroom renovations and room conversions of the Rainbow Tower at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort and of the Palace Tower at the Hilton Waikoloa Village, totaling nearly $76 million. During 2024, Park spent nearly $230 million on capital improvements at its hotels, with nearly $65 million spent during the fourth quarter.

During 2025, Park expects to spend approximately $310 million to $330 million in capital expenditures, including the $100 million transformative renovation at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami, a Tribute Portfolio Resort, as well as continuing the second phase of guestroom renovations and room conversions at its Hawaii and New Orleans hotels.

The transformative renovation at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami, a Tribute Portfolio Resort, will include a full renovation of all 393 guestrooms at the oceanfront hotel, along with the addition of 11 new guestrooms. The project is expected to generate a 15% to 20% return on investment. Hotel operations are currently expected to be suspended in mid-May 2025, with reopening planned for May 2026, resulting in an anticipated $17 million of disruption to Hotel Adjusted EBITDA for 2025.

Recent and upcoming renovations and return on investment projects ("ROI") include:

Dividends

Park declared a fourth quarter 2024 cash dividend of $0.65 per share to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2024, which included Park鈥檚 regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 coupled with a $0.40 top off dividend based on 2024 operating results. The fourth quarter 2024 cash dividend was paid on January 15, 2025.

On February 14, 2025, Park declared a first quarter 2025 cash dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid on April 15, 2025 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2025.

Full-Year 2025 Outlook

Park expects full-year 2025 operating results to be as follows:

Park's outlook is based in part on the following assumptions:

• Except where noted, includes the impact of renovations at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami, a Tribute Portfolio Resort, of approximately $17 million of Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and 40 bps of Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin;
• Adjusted FFO excludes $35 million of default interest and late payment administrative fees associated with default of the SF Mortgage Loan through July 15, 2025 (when foreclosure is expected), which began in June 2023 and is required to be recognized in interest expense until legal title to the Hilton San Francisco Hotels are transferred;
• Fully diluted weighted average shares for the full-year 2025 of 202 million; and
• Park's portfolio as of February 19, 2025 and does not take into account potential future acquisitions, dispositions or any financing transactions, which could result in a material change to Park鈥檚 outlook.

Park's full-year 2025 outlook is based on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company's control, including uncertainty surrounding macro-economic factors, such as inflation, changes in interest rates and the possibility of an economic recession or slowdown, as well as the assumptions set forth above, all of which are subject to change.
