EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context requires otherwise, references to “Host Inc.” mean Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and references to “Host L.P.” mean Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its consolidated subsidiaries, in cases where it is important to distinguish between Host Inc. and Host L.P. We use the terms “we,” “our” or “the company” to refer to Host Inc. and Host L.P. together, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Host Inc. operates as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Host Inc. owns properties and conducts operations through Host L.P., of which Host Inc. is the sole general partner and of which it holds approximately 99% of the partnership interests (“OP units”). The remaining OP units are owned by various unaffiliated limited partners. As the sole general partner of Host L.P., Host Inc. has the exclusive and complete responsibility for Host L.P.’s day-to-day management and control. Management operates Host Inc. and Host L.P. as one enterprise. The management of Host Inc. consists of the same persons who direct the management of Host L.P. As general partner with control of Host L.P., Host Inc. consolidates Host L.P. for financial reporting purposes, and Host Inc. does not have significant assets other than its investment in Host L.P. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of Host Inc. and Host L.P. are substantially the same on their respective condensed consolidated financial statements and the disclosures of Host Inc. and Host L.P. also are substantially similar. For these reasons, we believe that the combination into a single report of the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Host Inc. and Host L.P. results in benefits to management and investors.

The substantive difference between the filings of Host Inc. and Host L.P. is that Host Inc. is a REIT with public stock, while Host L.P. is a partnership with no publicly traded equity. In the condensed consolidated financial statements, this difference primarily is reflected in the equity (or partners’ capital for Host L.P.) section of the consolidated balance sheets and in the consolidated statements of equity (or partners’ capital for Host L.P.). Apart from the different equity treatment, the condensed consolidated financial statements of Host Inc. and Host L.P. are nearly identical.

This combined Form 10-Q for Host Inc. and Host L.P. includes, for each entity, separate interim financial statements (but combined footnotes), separate reports on disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and separate CEO/CFO certifications. In addition, with respect to any other financial and non-financial disclosure items required by Form 10-Q, any material differences between Host Inc. and Host L.P. are discussed separately herein. For a more detailed discussion of the substantive differences between Host Inc. and Host L.P. and why we believe the combined filing results in benefits to investors, see the discussion in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 under the heading “Explanatory Note.”

In connection with the sales of The Camby, Autograph Collection in March 2023, the Sheraton Boston Hotel in February 2022, and the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel in April 2022, we issued loans to the buyers for $72 million, $163 million, and $250 million, respectively. The proceeds received from the sales are net of the loans.

1.	Organization

Description of Business

Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. operates as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”), with its operations conducted solely through Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. and its subsidiaries. Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, operates through an umbrella partnership structure, with Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., a Maryland corporation, as its sole general partner. In the notes to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the terms “we” or “our” to refer to Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. together, unless the context indicates otherwise. We also use the term “Host Inc.” specifically to refer to Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., and the term “Host L.P.” specifically to refer to Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. in cases where it is important to distinguish between Host Inc. and Host L.P. As of June 30, 2023, Host Inc. holds approximately 99% of Host L.P.’s partnership interests.

Consolidated Portfolio

As of June 30, 2023, our consolidated portfolio, primarily consisting of luxury and upper upscale hotels, is located in the following countries:


	Hotels
United States		72
Brazil		3
Canada		2
Total		77


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2023, and the results of our operations for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and cash flows for the year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the effect of seasonal variations.

Four of the partnerships in which we own an interest are considered variable interest entities ("VIEs"), as the general partner of these partnerships maintains control over the decisions that most significantly impact such partnerships. These VIEs include the operating partnership, Host L.P., which is consolidated by Host Inc., of which Host Inc. is the sole general partner and holds approximately 99% of the limited partner interests; the consolidated partnership that owns the Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental; and two unconsolidated partnerships that own hotel properties, of which we hold limited partner interests ranging from 11% - 19%. Host Inc.’s sole significant asset is its investment in Host L.P. and, consequently, substantially all of Host Inc.’s assets and liabilities consists of the assets and liabilities of Host L.P. All of Host Inc.’s debt is an obligation of Host L.P. and may be settled only with assets of Host L.P.

3.	Earnings Per Common Share (Unit)

Basic earnings (loss) per common share (unit) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (unitholders) by the weighted average number of shares of Host Inc. common stock or Host L.P. common units outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share (unit) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (unitholders), as adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of shares of Host Inc. common stock or Host L.P. common units outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans or the Host L.P. common units distributed to Host Inc. to support such granted shares, and other non-controlling interests that have the option to convert their limited partner interests to Host L.P. common units. No effect is shown for any securities that are anti-dilutive. We have 9.8 million Host L.P. common units, which are convertible into 10.0 million Host Inc. common shares, that are not included in Host Inc.’s calculation of earnings (loss) per share as their effect is not dilutive. The calculation of Host Inc. basic and diluted earnings per common share is shown below (in millions, except per share amounts):

4.	Revenue

Substantially all our operating results represent revenues and expenses generated by property-level operations. Payments are due from customers when services are provided to them. Due to the short-term nature of our contracts and the almost concurrent receipt of payment, we have no material unearned revenue at quarter end. We collect sales, use, occupancy and similar taxes from our customers, which we present on a net basis (excluded from revenues) on our statements of operations.

Share Repurchases

During the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased 3.2 million shares at an average price of $15.65 per share, exclusive of commissions, through our common share repurchase program for a total of $50 million. There were no share repurchases in the second quarter of 2023. As of June 30, 2023, there was $923 million available for repurchase under our common share repurchase program.

Issuance of Common Stock

On May 31, 2023, we entered into a distribution agreement with J. P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sales agents pursuant to which Host Inc. may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of Host Inc. common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $600 million. The sales will be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings under the SEC rules. We may sell shares of Host Inc. common stock under this program from time to time based on market conditions, although we are not under an obligation to sell any shares. The agreement also contemplates that, in addition to the offering and sale of shares to or through the sales agents, we may enter into separate forward sale agreements with each of the forward purchasers named in the agreement. No shares were issued during the first half of 2023. As of June 30, 2023, there was $600 million of remaining capacity under the agreement.

Dividends/Distributions

On June 14, 2023, Host Inc.'s Board of Directors announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share on its common stock. The dividend was paid on July 17, 2023 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2023. Accordingly, Host L.P. made a distribution of $0.1532241 per unit on its common OP units based on the current conversion ratio.

7.	Fair Value Measurements

We did not elect the fair value measurement option for any of our financial assets or liabilities. The fair values of notes receivable, secured debt and our credit facility are determined based on the expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates. Our senior notes are valued based on quoted market prices. The fair values of financial instruments not included in this table are estimated to be equal to their carrying amounts.

The fair value of certain financial assets and financial liabilities is shown below (in millions):


	June 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets
Notes receivable (Level 2)	$	485	$	483	$	413	$	404
Financial liabilities
Senior notes (Level 1)		3,117		2,815		3,115		2,768
Credit facility (Level 2)		987		1,000		994		1,000
Mortgage debt (Level 2)		101		87		102		95

Notes receivable consists of three loans issued to the buyers in connection with the sales of The Camby, Autograph Collection, the Sheraton Boston Hotel and the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel. The loan to the buyer of the Sheraton Boston Hotel matured on August 1, 2023. We entered into a forbearance agreement with the buyer on August 1, 2023, by which we will forbear exercising our remedies until September 30, 2023. In exchange, the all-in interest rate on the loan was increased from 6.5% to 12% and the buyer made a principal paydown of 10% of the outstanding principal balance, among other consideration.


8.	Geographic Information

We consider each one of our hotels to be an operating segment, as we allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual hotels. All of our hotels meet the aggregation criteria for segment reporting and our other real estate investment activities (primarily our retail spaces and office buildings) are immaterial. As such, we report one segment: hotel ownership. Our consolidated foreign operations consist of hotels in two countries as of June 30, 2023. There were no intersegment sales during the periods presented.

The following table presents total revenues and property and equipment, net, for each of the geographical areas in which we operate (in millions):

9.	Non-controlling Interests

Host Inc.’s treatment of the non-controlling interests of Host L.P.: Host Inc. adjusts the amount of the non-controlling interests of Host L.P. each period so that the amount presented equals the greater of its carrying amount based on accumulated historical cost or its redemption value. The historical cost is based on the proportional relationship between the historical cost of equity held by our common stockholders relative to that of the common unitholders of Host L.P. The redemption value is based on the amount of cash or Host Inc. common stock, at our option, that would be paid to the non-controlling interests of Host L.P. if it were terminated. We have estimated that the redemption value of the common OP units is equivalent to the number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the common OP units held by third parties valued at the market price of Host Inc. common stock at the balance sheet date. One common OP unit may be exchanged for 1.021494 shares of Host Inc. common stock. Redeemable non-controlling interests of Host L.P. are

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

classified in the mezzanine section of our balance sheets as they do not meet the requirements for equity classification because the redemption feature requires the delivery of registered shares.

The table below details the historical cost and redemption values for the non-controlling interests of Host L.P.:


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Common OP units outstanding (millions)		9.8		10.0
Market price per Host Inc. common share	$	16.83	$	16.05
Shares issuable upon conversion of one common OP unit		1.021494		1.021494
Redemption value (millions)	$	168	$	164
Historical cost (millions)		99		97
Book value (millions) ⁽¹⁾		168		164

___________

(1) The book value recorded is equal to the greater of redemption value or historical cost.

Other Consolidated Partnerships. As of June 30, 2023, we consolidate two majority-owned partnerships that have third-party, non-controlling ownership interests. The third-party limited partner interests are included in non-redeemable non-controlling interests — other consolidated partnerships on the balance sheets and totaled $5 million as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.


10.	Contingencies

While the majority of our hotels in Florida were affected by Hurricane Ian, which made landfall on September 28, 2022, the most significant damage sustained during the storm occurred at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples and Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa. The Hyatt Regency Coconut Point reopened to guests in November 2022, and the final phase of reconstruction, the resort's waterpark, was completed in June 2023. On July 6, 2023, The Ritz-Carlton, Naples reopened the guestrooms, suites and amenities, including the new tower expansion.

We are still evaluating the complete property and business interruption impacts of the storm. During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded an additional $25 million of property damage and remediation costs, increasing our total estimate to $130 million. We have recorded a corresponding insurance receivable of $130 million. As of June 30, 2023, we have received $113 million of property insurance proceeds related to these claims, reducing the receivable to $17 million. Our expected potential insurance recovery is $310 million for covered costs, including the property remediation and reconstruction costs and the near-term loss of business; however, there can be no assurances that this coverage will be sufficient to cover the entirety of the impact from the storm.


11.	Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business regarding the operation of our hotels and Company matters. To the extent not covered by insurance, these legal proceedings generally fall into the following broad categories: disputes involving hotel-level contracts, employment litigation, compliance with laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, tax disputes and other general matters. Under our management agreements, our operators have broad latitude to resolve individual hotel-level claims for amounts generally less than $150,000. However, for matters exceeding such threshold, our operators may not settle claims without our consent.

Based on our analysis of legal proceedings with which we are involved or of which we currently are aware and our experience in resolving similar claims in the past, we have recorded immaterial accruals as of June 30, 2023 related to such claims. We have estimated that, in the aggregate, our losses related to these proceedings will not be material. We are not aware of any matters with a reasonably possible unfavorable outcome for which disclosure of a loss contingency is required. No assurances can be given as to the outcome of any pending legal proceedings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Host Inc. operates as a self-managed and self-administered REIT. Host Inc. is the sole general partner of Host L.P. and holds approximately 99% of its partnership interests. Host L.P. is a limited partnership operating through an umbrella partnership structure. The remaining common OP units are owned by various unaffiliated limited partners.

EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, NAREIT FFO per diluted share and Adjusted FFO per diluted share and comparable hotel operating results (including hotel revenues and hotel EBITDA and margins) are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the SEC. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and "Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics and Results" for more information on these measures, including why we believe these supplemental measures are useful, reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the limitations on the use of these supplemental measures. Additionally, comparable hotel results and statistics are based on 75 comparable hotels as of June 30, 2023 and include adjustments for non-comparable hotels, dispositions and acquisitions. See Comparable Hotel RevPAR Overview for results of the portfolio based on our ownership period, without these adjustments.

Operations

Total revenues increased $12 million, or 0.9%, and $319 million, or 13.0%, as compared to the second quarter of 2022 and year-to-date 2022, respectively, driven by improvements in group business and continued strength in rates for the portfolio overall, despite some moderation at our resort properties. In the second quarter, the growth was offset by moderating transient demand in the San Francisco and Seattle markets and resort hotels, as well as elevated outbound travel without a corresponding increase in international inbound travel. Comparable hotel RevPAR and comparable hotel Total RevPAR for the second quarter increased 2.7% and 3.8%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to rate growth. Year-to-date, comparable hotel RevPAR and comparable hotel Total RevPAR increased 14.9% and 16.9%, respectively, compared to 2022. The significant improvement year-to-date was buoyed by first quarter 2023 results, as the Omicron variant of COVID-19 significantly impaired travel during January and the first part of February in 2022. In addition, the recovery at our city-center properties during the first half of 2023 allowed for significant improvements at some of the markets such as New York, Washington, D.C. and Boston that lagged in 2022.

The recovery at our city-center properties led the portfolio, as comparable hotel Total RevPAR in our Boston, Houston and Chicago markets increased by 39.3%, 18.3% and 16.3%, respectively, in the second quarter, primarily driven by transient rate and city-wide events. Hotels in our Washington, D.C., San Diego and New York markets, some of our larger markets by room counts, also outperformed our portfolio with comparable hotel Total RevPAR increases of 11.0%, 10.4% and 10.0%, respectively. These strong performances were offset by comparable hotel Total RevPAR declines at our Austin, Miami and Orlando markets of 14.5%, 7.3% and 6.6%, respectively. The declines were driven primarily by decreases in transient demand, while Austin also experienced a decline in short-term group demand in the second quarter.

Our second quarter 2023 results when compared to 2022 are as follows:

•

Net income decreased $46 million for the quarter and increased $127 million year-to-date;

•

Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.07 for the quarter and increased $0.18 year-to-date;

•

Adjusted EBITDAre decreased $54 million for the quarter and increased $84 million year-to-date; and

•

Adjusted FFO per diluted share decreased $0.05 for the quarter and increased $0.11 year-to-date.

For the second quarter of 2023, operating profit margin under GAAP was 17.9% and comparable hotel EBITDA margin was 32.7%, a decrease of 580 basis points and 440 basis points, respectively, due to closer to stable staffing levels and higher wages, insurance and utility expenses, compared to second quarter of 2022. Year-to-date, operating profit margin under GAAP was 17.9% and comparable hotel EBITDA margin was 32.6%, a decrease of 40 basis points and 150 basis points, respectively.

Outlook

Although we have not experienced significant signs of a weakening in the overall lodging industry, current macroeconomic headwinds and concerns surrounding the potential for an economic slowdown have created uncertainty around operating results for the remainder of 2023. Further improvement in operations will be dependent on the broader macroeconomic environment, which will affect our ability to maintain high-rated business in our resort markets, as well as the continued improvement of group, business transient and international inbound travel. Accordingly, we believe that operations in specific markets and asset types will continue to be uneven.

Blue Chip Economic Indicators consensus currently estimates an increase in real U.S. GDP of 1.6% for 2023, with a slight decline in the fourth quarter, while business investment is anticipated to increase 2.1%. Inflation has eased but remains above the Federal Reserve's target of 2%. Monetary policy, geopolitical uncertainty, and liquidity concerns at financial institutions has led to ongoing concerns surrounding a potential economic slowdown over the next 12 months. The range of potential outcomes on the economy and the lodging industry specifically remains exceptionally wide, reflecting varying analyst assumptions surrounding the impact of higher interest rates, inflation, ongoing labor shortages in key industries, and geopolitical conflicts.

Hotel supply growth is anticipated to remain below the long-term historical average in 2023. Supply chain challenges have resulted in project delays across the U.S., and regional banking stress has created construction financing challenges for future projects. We anticipate that the new project pipeline will remain suppressed until macroeconomic concerns abate. While the pandemic had an outsized impact on our industry, particularly in luxury and upper upscale hotels in top U.S. markets, where a majority of our hotels are located, our hotels have been able to maintain rates even as leisure travel moderates. We also have seen steady increases in group business and a gradual recovery in business transient demand in 2023. However, transient demand has moderated in the San Francisco and Seattle markets, as well as at resort hotels in recent months.

Based on the trends noted above, we expect comparable hotel RevPAR growth for the full year 2023 will be between 7.0% and 9.0%.

As noted above, the current outlook for the lodging industry remains highly uncertain; therefore, there can be no assurances as to the continued recovery in lodging demand for any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, slower than anticipated return of group and business travel or deteriorating macroeconomic conditions.

Strategic Initiatives

Capital Projects. During the first half of 2023, we spent approximately $97 million on return on investment ("ROI") capital projects, $133 million on renewal and replacement projects, and $93 million on hurricane restoration work. Significant projects completed during the second quarter include the renovation of rooms and public spaces at the final hotel in the Marriott transformational capital program, the Washington Marriott at Metro Center. In addition, we continued our restoration efforts following Hurricane Ian, for which we estimate the total property reconstruction and remediation costs, including significant enhancements, to be approximately $260 million to $285 million of which approximately 35% relates to remediation costs. The Ritz-Carlton, Naples reopened on July 6, 2023, including the guestrooms, suites and amenities, and the new tower expansion. The Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa reopened to guests in November 2022, and the final phase of reconstruction, the resort's waterpark, was completed in June 2023.

We have completed the Marriott transformational capital program, which began in 2018. We believe this program will position these hotels to be more competitive in their respective markets and will enhance long-term performance through increases in RevPAR and market yield index. We agreed to invest amounts in excess of the furniture fixture and equipment ("FF&E") reserves required under our management agreements and, in exchange, Marriott has provided additional priority returns on the agreed upon investments and operating profit guarantees of $83 million, before reductions for incentive management fees, to offset expected business disruption.

The Marriott transformational capital program included projects at 16 hotels, which were completed as follows: projects at Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa, New York Marriott Downtown, San Francisco Marriott Marquis and Santa Clara Marriott in 2019; projects at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center, San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter and JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead in 2020; projects at The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island, New York Marriott Marquis and Orlando World Center Marriott in 2021; projects at Boston Marriott Copley Place, the Houston Marriott Medical Center, JW Marriott Houston by the Galleria, and Marina del Rey Marriott in 2022; and projects at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina and Washington Marriott at Metro Center in 2023.

For full year 2023, we expect total capital expenditures of $625 million to $725 million, consisting of ROI projects of approximately $225 million to $250 million, renewal and replacement expenditures of $275 million to $300 million, and restoration work for the damage caused by Hurricane Ian of $125 million to $175 million. The ROI projects include approximately $25 million to $30 million for the Marriott transformational capital program discussed above.

Statement of Operations Results and Trends

Hotel Sales Overview

The following table presents total revenues in accordance with GAAP and includes all consolidated hotels (in millions, except percentages):


	Quarter ended June 30,							Year-to-date ended June 30,
	2023		2022		Change			2023		2022		Change
Revenues:
Rooms	$	850	$	850	—			$	1,670	$	1,505		11.0	%
Food and beverage		415		405		2.5	%		846		702		20.5

Total revenues	$	1,393	$	1,381		0.9		$	2,774	$	2,455		13.0

Second quarter total revenues improved 0.9% over 2022 reflecting improvements in group business and continued strength in rates for the portfolio overall, despite some moderation at our resort properties. In the second quarter, the growth was offset by moderating transient demand in the San Francisco and Seattle markets and resort hotels and elevated international outbound travel without a corresponding increase in international inbound travel. Year-to-date revenue improvement benefitted from easier comparisons to 2022, as the Omicron variant of COVID-19 significantly impaired travel during January and the first part of February in 2022 as noted previously. Operations in the second quarter and year-to-date 2023 in comparison to 2022 were impacted by lost revenues due to the closure of The Ritz-Carlton, Naples caused by Hurricane Ian, which reopened on July 6, 2023. In addition, the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole, which we acquired in November 2022, contributed $11 million and $42 million to the growth in revenues for the second quarter and year-to-date 2023, respectively, compared to the negative impact on revenues resulting from 2022 and 2023 dispositions of $15 million and $40 million, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2023, respectively.

Rooms. Total rooms revenues were flat for the second quarter and increased $165 million, or 11.0%, year-to-date, compared to 2022. The results reflect the increases at our comparable hotels of $22 million, or 2.7%, and $212 million, or 14.8%, for the second

quarter and year-to-date, respectively, driven by strong average room rates, which remain above 2019, but have started to moderate. The increases in revenues at our comparable hotels were partially offset by lost revenues from dispositions and the closure of The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, which is included in non-comparable hotels, caused by Hurricane Ian as noted above.

Food and beverage. Total food and beverage ("F&B") revenues increased $10 million, or 2.5%, and $144 million, or 20.5%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, compared to 2022. The improvements reflect the increases at our comparable hotels of $22 million, or 5.7%, and $166 million, or 25.2%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, primarily driven by improvements in banquet and audio-visual revenues at convention hotels, as well as increased outlet spend per occupied room across our portfolio. Similar to rooms revenues, the increases in F&B revenues from our comparable hotels were partially offset by lost revenues from dispositions and the closure of The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, which is included in non-comparable hotels, caused by Hurricane Ian as noted above.

Other revenues. Total other revenues increased $2 million, or 1.6%, and $10 million, or 4.0%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, compared to 2022. The improvements reflect the increases at our comparable hotels of $7 million, or 5.8%, and $16 million, or 6.7%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, primarily due to an increase in ancillary revenues from improved occupancy levels and continued strong golf and spa revenues.

Property-level Operating Expenses

The following table presents property-level operating expenses in accordance with GAAP and includes all consolidated hotels (in millions, except percentages):


	Quarter ended June 30,							Year-to-date ended June 30,
	2023		2022		Change			2023		2022		Change
Expenses:
Rooms	$	201	$	189		6.3	%	$	394	$	349		12.9	%
Food and beverage		263		245		7.3			532		445		19.6
Other departmental and support expenses		323		300		7.7			638		573		11.3
Management fees		69		62		11.3			134		102		31.4
Other property-level expenses		93		78		19.2			184		162		13.6
Depreciation and amortization		168		162		3.7			337		334		0.9
Total property-level operating expenses	$	1,117	$	1,036		7.8		$	2,219	$	1,965		12.9

Our operating costs and expenses, which consist of both fixed and variable components, are affected by several factors. Rooms expenses are affected mainly by occupancy, which drives costs related to items such as housekeeping, reservation systems, room supplies, laundry services and front desk costs. Food and beverage expenses correlate closely with food and beverage revenues and are affected by occupancy and the mix of business between banquet, audio-visual and outlet sales. However, the most significant expense for the rooms, food and beverage, and other departmental and support expenses is wages and employee benefits, which comprise approximately 56% of these expenses. For the second quarter and year-to-date 2023, these expenses increased 13%, and 22%, respectively, compared to 2022, reflecting an increase in hiring as operations have recovered. In addition, early in 2022, hiring was temporarily paused in many areas due to the Omicron variant, as well as seasonality in certain markets. Specifically, in the second quarter of 2022, the significant acceleration in demand further challenged the ability of our hotels managers to increase hotel staffing commensurate with the increase in demand. Hiring pace has since improved, and managers at the majority of our hotels now are operating at desired staffing levels. Wage and benefit rate inflation is expected to be approximately 5% in 2023.

Other property-level expenses consist of property taxes, the amounts and structure of which are highly dependent on local jurisdiction taxing authorities, and property and general liability insurance, all of which do not necessarily increase or decrease based on similar changes in revenues at our hotels.

The increase in expenses for the second quarter and year-to-date 2023 compared to 2022 for rooms, food and beverage, other departmental and support, and management fees was generally due to the corresponding increase in revenues from improvements in occupancy and hotel operations, and an increase in staffing, as follows:

Rooms. Rooms expenses increased $12 million, or 6.3%, and $45 million, or 12.9%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Our comparable hotels rooms expenses increased $16 million, or 8.7%, and $62 million, or 19.0%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. These increases reflect the increase in staffing described above.

Food and beverage. F&B expenses increased $18 million, or 7.3%, and $87 million, or 19.6%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. For our comparable hotels, F&B expenses increased $25 million, or 10.8%, and $103 million, or 24.8% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Overall, F&B costs as a percentage of revenues increased slightly for the quarter as staffing levels normalized. F&B costs as a percentage of revenues declined year-to-date, benefiting from improved banquet revenues and ongoing productivity improvement.

Other departmental and support expenses. Other departmental and support expenses increased $23 million, or 7.7%, and $65 million, or 11.3%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. On a comparable hotel basis, other departmental and support expenses increased $27 million, or 9.6%, and $79 million, or 14.7%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. These increases were primarily due to the increase in staffing.

Management fees. Base management fees, which generally are calculated as a percentage of total revenues, were flat for the second quarter and increased $8 million, or 11.6%, year-to-date. At our comparable hotels, base management fees increased $1 million, or 2.9%, and $10 million, or 15.7%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Incentive management fees, which generally are based on the amount of operating profit at each hotel after we receive a priority return on our investment, increased $7 million, or 30.4%, and $24 million, or 72.7%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. At our comparable hotels, incentive management fees increased $8 million, or 34.9%, and $22 million, or 62.8% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. The increase in incentive management fees primarily reflects the improved operations at our properties.

Other property-level expenses. These expenses generally do not vary significantly based on occupancy and include expenses such as property taxes and insurance. Other property level expenses increased $15 million, or 19.2%, and $22 million, or 13.6%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, due to increases in property insurance premiums and rent on a portion of our ground leases that are based on a percentage of sales. Other property-level expenses also were partially offset by the receipt of operating profit guarantees received from Marriott under the transformational capital program in both 2022 and 2023, with the last of the payments received in the second quarter of 2023. Other property-level expenses at our comparable hotels increased $17 million, or 20.8%, and $27 million, or 17.0%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

Including the change in accrued interest, total cash interest paid was $50 million and $41 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $90 million and $69 million for year-to-date 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Other gains. Other gains increased $55 million year-to-date, reflecting the sale of The Camby, Autograph Collection in the first quarter of 2023.

Equity in earnings of affiliates. Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $2 million for the quarter and $7 million for the year-to-date, consisting of earnings from our investment in the Noble Joint Venture.

Provision for income taxes. We lease substantially all our properties to consolidated subsidiaries designated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Taxable income or loss generated/incurred by the TRS primarily represents hotel-level operations and the aggregate rent paid to Host L.P. by the TRS, on which we record an income tax provision or benefit. For the second quarter and year-to-date 2023, we recorded an income tax provision of $14 million and $12 million, respectively, due primarily to the profitability of hotel operations retained by the TRS.

Comparable Hotel RevPAR Overview

Effective January 1, 2023, we have ceased presentation of All Owned Hotel results, and returned to a comparable hotel presentation for our hotel level results. Comparable hotels are those properties that we have consolidated for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared. Comparable hotels do not include the results of hotels sold or classified as held-for-sale, hotels that have sustained substantial property damage or business interruption, or hotels that have undergone large-scale capital projects, in each case requiring closures lasting one month or longer during the reporting periods being compared. We believe this will provide investors with a better understanding of underlying growth trends for our current portfolio, without impact from properties that experienced closures. We have removed Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa and The Ritz-Carlton, Naples from our comparable operations for 2023 due to closures caused by Hurricane Ian. See “Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics and Results” below for more information on how we determine our comparable hotels.

We also include, following the comparable hotels results by geographic location, the same operating statistics presentation on an actual basis, which includes results for our portfolio for the time period of our ownership, including the results of non-comparable properties, dispositions through their date of disposal and acquisitions beginning as of the date of acquisition. Lastly, we discuss our hotel results by mix of business (i.e., transient, group, or contract).

Hotel Operating Data by Location

The following tables set forth performance information for our hotels by geographic location for the quarters and year-to-date ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, on a comparable hotel and actual basis:

Hotel Business Mix

Our customers fall into three broad categories: transient, group, and contract business, which accounted for approximately 65%, 32%, and 3%, respectively, of our full year 2022 room sales. The information below is derived from business mix data for the 75 comparable hotels as of June 30, 2023. For additional detail on our business mix, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

Improvements in the second quarter compared to second quarter of 2022 were primarily driven by an increase in group business, through increases in rate. At the same time, the recovery in business transient demand continued, driven by demand from small and medium-sized businesses, which accounted for a greater share of demand as compared to large-companies than prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following are the results of our transient, group and contract business:


	Quarter ended June 30, 2023									Year-to-date ended June 30, 2023

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Resources of Host Inc. and Host L.P. The liquidity and capital resources of Host Inc. and Host L.P. are derived primarily from the activities of Host L.P., which generates the capital required by our business from hotel operations, the incurrence of debt, the issuance of OP units or the sale of hotels. Host Inc. is a REIT, and its only significant asset is the ownership of general and limited partner interests of Host L.P.; therefore, its financing and investing activities are conducted through Host L.P., except for the issuance of its common and preferred stock. Proceeds from common and preferred stock issuances by Host Inc. are contributed to Host L.P. in exchange for common and preferred OP units. Additionally, funds used by Host Inc. to pay dividends or to repurchase its stock are provided by Host L.P. Therefore, while we have noted those areas in which it is important to distinguish between Host Inc. and Host L.P., we have not included a separate discussion of liquidity and capital resources as the discussion below applies to both Host Inc. and Host L.P.

Overview. We look to maintain a capital structure and liquidity profile with an appropriate balance of cash, debt, and equity to provide financial flexibility given the inherent volatility of the lodging industry. We believe this strategy has resulted in a better cost of debt capital, allowing us to complete opportunistic investments and acquisitions and positioning us to manage potential declines in operations throughout the lodging cycle. We have structured our debt profile to maintain a balanced maturity schedule and to minimize the number of hotels that are encumbered by mortgage debt. Currently, only one of our consolidated hotels is encumbered by mortgage debt. Over the past several years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had decreased our leverage as measured by our net debt-to-EBITDA ratio and reduced our debt service obligations, leading to an increase in our fixed charge coverage ratio. As a result, we were well positioned at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic with sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility to withstand the severe slowdown in U.S. economic activity and lodging demand brought on by the pandemic. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund corporate expenses, capital expenditures and dividends and remain well positioned to execute additional investment transactions to the extent opportunities arise.

Cash Requirements. We use cash for acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt payments, operating costs, and corporate and other expenses, as well as for dividends and distributions to stockholders and to OP unitholders, respectively, and stock and OP unit repurchases. We have no significant debt maturities until April 2024. As a REIT, Host Inc. is required to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gain, on an annual basis.

Capital Resources. As of June 30, 2023, we had $802 million of cash and cash equivalents, $213 million in our FF&E escrow reserves and $1.5 billion available under the revolver portion of our credit facility. We depend primarily on external sources of capital to finance future growth, including acquisitions. As a result, the liquidity and debt capacity provided by our credit facility and the ability to issue senior unsecured debt are key components of our capital structure. Our financial flexibility, including our ability to incur debt, pay dividends, make distributions and make investments, is contingent on our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility and senior notes indentures, which include, among other things, the allowable amounts of leverage, interest coverage and fixed charges.

Two programs are currently in place relating to potential purchases or sales of our common stock. Under our common stock repurchase program, common stock may be purchased from time to time depending upon market conditions and may be purchased in the open market or through private transactions or by other means, including principal transactions with various financial institutions, like accelerated share repurchases, forwards, options, and similar transactions and through one or more trading plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The plan does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number or any specific dollar amount of shares and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. There were no share repurchases during the second quarter. At June 30, 2023, we had $923 million available for repurchase under our program.

In addition, on May 31, 2023, we entered into a distribution agreement with J. P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sales agents pursuant to which Host Inc. may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of Host Inc. common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $600 million. The sales will be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings under the SEC rules. We may sell shares of Host Inc. common stock under this program from time to time based on market conditions, although we are not under an obligation to sell any shares. The agreement also contemplates that, in addition to the offering and sale of shares to or through the sales agents, we may enter into separate forward sale agreements with each of the forward purchasers named in the agreement. No shares were issued during the first half of 2023. As of June 30, 2023, there was $600 million of remaining capacity under the agreement.

Given the total amount of our debt and our maturity schedule, we may continue to redeem or repurchase senior notes from time to time, taking advantage of favorable market conditions. In February 2023, Host Inc.’s Board of Directors authorized repurchases of

up to $1.0 billion of senior notes other than in accordance with their respective terms, of which the entire amount remains available under this authority. We may purchase senior notes with cash through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, a tender offer, or, in some cases, through the early redemption of such securities pursuant to their terms. Repurchases of debt will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. Any retirement before the maturity date will affect earnings and NAREIT FFO per diluted share as a result of the payment of any applicable call premiums and the accelerated expensing of previously deferred and capitalized financing costs. Accordingly, considering our priorities in managing our capital structure and liquidity profile, and given prevailing conditions and relative pricing in the capital markets, we may, at any time, subject to applicable securities laws and the requirements of our credit facility and senior notes indentures, be considering, or be in discussions with respect to, the repurchase or issuance of exchangeable debentures and/or senior notes or the repurchase or sale of our common stock. Any such transactions may, subject to applicable securities laws, occur simultaneously.

We continue to explore potential acquisitions and dispositions. We anticipate that any such future acquisitions will be funded primarily by proceeds from sales of hotels, but also potentially from equity offerings of Host Inc., issuances of OP units by Host L.P., or available cash. Given the nature of these transactions, we can make no assurances that we will be successful in acquiring any one or more hotels that we may review, bid on or negotiate to purchase or that we will be successful in disposing of any one or more of our hotels. We may acquire additional hotels or dispose of hotels through various structures, including transactions involving single assets, portfolios, joint ventures, acquisitions of the securities or assets of other REITs or distributions of hotels to our stockholders.

Sources and Uses of Cash. Our sources of cash generally include cash from operations, proceeds from debt and equity issuances, and proceeds from hotel sales. Uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating costs, debt repayments, and repurchases of shares and distributions to equity holders.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Year-to-date in 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $820 million compared to $708 million for 2022. The $112 million increase in 2023 was primarily driven by improved operations at our hotels compared to 2022.

Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $275 million during 2023 year-to-date compared to $60 million for 2022. Cash used in investing activities during year-to-date 2023 primarily related to $323 million of capital expenditures and investment in our joint ventures. Cash used in investing activities during year-to-date 2022 primarily related to $240 million of capital expenditures and an investment in a joint venture. Cash provided by investing activities includes the sale of one hotel in 2023 and three hotels in 2022, with 2023 proceeds of $34 million primarily related to the sale of The Camby, Autograph Collection, which is net of a $72 million loan issued to the buyer in connection with the sale.

Cash Used in Financing Activities. Year-to-date in 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $396 million compared to $715 million for 2022. Cash used in financing activities in 2023 primarily related to the payment of common stock dividends and common stock repurchases. In year-to-date 2022, cash used in financing activities included the repayment of the credit facility revolver.

The following table summarizes significant equity transactions that have been completed through August 2, 2023 (in millions):


Transaction Date		Description of Transaction	Transaction Amount
Equity of Host Inc.
January - July	2023	Dividend payments⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾	$	(420	)
March	2023	Repurchase of 3.2 million shares of Host Inc. common stock		(50	)
		Cash payments on equity transactions	$	(470	)

___________

(1)

In connection with the dividend payments, Host L.P. made distributions of $426 million to its common OP unit holders.

(2)

Includes the fourth quarter 2022 dividend that was paid in January 2023.

Debt

As of June 30, 2023, our total debt was $4.2 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.5% and a weighted average maturity of 4.7 years. Additionally, 76% of our debt has a fixed rate of interest and only one of our consolidated hotels is encumbered by mortgage debt.

Financial Covenants

On January 4, 2023, we entered into the sixth amended and restated senior revolving credit and term loan facility, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as co-syndication agents, and certain other agents and lenders. The credit facility allows for revolving borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.5

billion. The revolver also includes a foreign currency subfacility for Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Euros, British pounds sterling and, if available to the lenders, Mexican pesos, of up to the foreign currency equivalent of $500 million, subject to a lower amount in the case of Mexican peso borrowings. The credit facility also provides for a term loan facility of $1 billion (which is fully utilized), a subfacility of up to $100 million for swingline borrowings in currencies other than U.S. dollars and a subfacility of up to $100 million for issuances of letters of credit. Host L.P. also has the option to add in the future $500 million of commitments which may be used for additional revolving credit facility borrowings and/or term loans, subject to obtaining additional loan commitments (which we have not currently obtained) and the satisfaction of certain conditions. The revolving credit facility has an initial scheduled maturity date of January 4, 2027, which date may be extended by up to a year, one $500 million term loan tranche has an initial maturity date of January 4, 2027, which date may be extended up to a year and the second $500 million term loan tranche has a maturity date of January 4, 2028, which date may not be extended. The exercise of any extension options is subject to certain various conditions, including the payment of an extension fee. The new credit facility also converted the underlying reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points. The credit facility includes a sustainability pricing adjustment that can result in a change in the interest rate applicable to borrowings. The adjustments will be determined based on our performance against targets established in the credit facility related to green building certifications and electricity used at all our consolidated properties that is generated by renewable resources. As of June 30, 2023, we achieved a milestone in the progress towards our renewable energy goal, resulting in a 2.5 basis point reduction in the interest rate on the outstanding term loans.

Credit Facility Covenants. Our credit facility contains certain important financial covenants concerning allowable leverage, unsecured interest coverage, and required fixed charge coverage. Total debt used in the calculation of our ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA (our “Leverage Ratio”) is based on a “net debt” concept, pursuant to which cash and cash equivalents in excess of $100 million are deducted from our total debt balance for purposes of measuring compliance.

At June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants under the credit facility. The following table summarizes the results of the financial tests required by the credit facility, which are calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis:


	Actual Ratio			Covenant Requirement for all years
Leverage ratio		2.2	x	Maximum ratio of 7.25x
Fixed charge coverage ratio		8.0	x	Minimum ratio of 1.25x
Unsecured interest coverage ratio ⁽¹⁾		9.3	x	Minimum ratio of 1.75x

___________

(1) If, at any time, our leverage ratio is above 7.0x, our minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio will decrease to 1.50x.

Senior Notes Indenture Covenants

The following table summarizes the results of the financial tests required by the indentures for our senior notes and our actual credit ratios as of June 30, 2023:


	Actual Ratio			Covenant Requirement
Unencumbered assets tests		491	%	Minimum ratio of 150%
Total indebtedness to total assets		20	%	Maximum ratio of 65%
Secured indebtedness to total assets		1	%	Maximum ratio of 40%
EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio		9.1	x	Minimum ratio of 1.5x

For additional details on our credit facility and senior notes, including the terms of the Amendments, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Dividend Policy

Host Inc. is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its stockholders in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT. Funds used by Host Inc. to pay dividends on its common stock are provided by distributions from Host L.P. As of June 30, 2023, Host Inc. is the owner of approximately 99% of the Host L.P. common OP units. The remaining common OP units are owned by unaffiliated limited partners. Each Host L.P. common OP unit may be redeemed for cash or, at the election of Host Inc., Host Inc. common stock based on the conversion ratio. The conversion ratio is 1.021494 shares of Host Inc. common stock for each Host L.P. common OP unit.

Investors should consider the non-controlling interests in the Host L.P. common OP units when analyzing dividend payments by Host Inc. to its stockholders, as these Host L.P. common OP unitholders share in cash distributed by Host L.P. to all of its common OP unitholders, on a pro rata basis. For example, if Host Inc. paid a $1 per share dividend on its common stock, it would be based on the

payment of a $1.021494 per common OP unit distribution by Host L.P. to Host Inc., as well as to the other unaffiliated Host L.P. common OP unitholders.

Host Inc.’s policy on common dividends generally is to distribute, over time, 100% of its taxable income, which primarily is dependent on Host Inc.’s results of operations, as well as tax gains and losses on hotel sales. On June 14, 2023, Host Inc.'s Board of Directors announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share on Host Inc.'s common stock. The dividend was paid on July 17, 2023 to stockholders as of record on June 30, 2023. All future dividends are subject to Board approval.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe that the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics and Results

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company ceased presentation of All Owned Hotel results and returned to a comparable hotel presentation for its hotel level results. Management believes this provides investors with a better understanding of underlying growth trends for our current portfolio, without impact from properties that experienced closures due to renovations or property damage sustained.

To facilitate a year-to-year comparison of our operations, we present certain operating statistics (i.e., Total RevPAR, RevPAR, average daily rate and average occupancy) and operating results (revenues, expenses, hotel EBITDA and associated margins) for the periods included in our reports on a comparable hotel basis in order to enable our investors to better evaluate our operating performance. We define our comparable hotels as those that: (i) are owned or leased by us as of the reporting date and are not classified as held-for-sale; and (ii) have not sustained substantial property damage or business interruption, or undergone large-scale capital projects, in each case requiring closures lasting one month or longer (as further defined below), during the reporting periods being compared.

We make adjustments to include recent acquisitions to include results for periods prior to our ownership. For these hotels, since the year-over-year comparison includes periods prior to our ownership, the changes will not necessarily correspond to changes in our actual results. Additionally, operating results of hotels that we sell are excluded from the comparable hotel set once the transaction has closed or the hotel is classified as held-for-sale.

The hotel business is capital-intensive and renovations are a regular part of the business. Generally, hotels under renovation remain comparable hotels. A large-scale capital project would cause a hotel to be excluded from our comparable hotel set if it requires the entire property to be closed to hotel guests for one month or longer.

Similarly, hotels are excluded from our comparable hotel set from the date that they sustain substantial property damage or business interruption if it requires the property to be closed to hotel guests for one month or longer. In each case, these hotels are returned to the comparable hotel set when the operations of the hotel have been included in our consolidated results for one full calendar year after the hotel has reopened. Often, related to events that cause property damage and the closure of a hotel, we will collect business interruption insurance proceeds for the near-term loss of business. These proceeds are included in gain on property insurance and business interruption settlements on our consolidated statements of operations. Business interruption insurance gains related to a hotel that was excluded from our comparable hotel set also will be excluded from the comparable hotel results.

Of the 77 hotels that we owned as of June 30, 2023, 75 have been classified as comparable hotels. The operating results of the following hotels that we owned as of June 30, 2023 are excluded from comparable hotel results for these periods, due to closure of the property:

•

Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa (business disruption due to Hurricane Ian beginning in September 2022, reopened in November 2022); and

•

The Ritz-Carlton, Naples (business disruption due to Hurricane Ian beginning in September 2022, reopened in July 2023).

Foreign Currency Translation

Operating results denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the prevailing exchange rates on the date of the transaction, or monthly based on the weighted average exchange rate for the period. Therefore, hotel statistics and results for non-U.S. properties include the effect of currency fluctuations, consistent with our financial statement presentation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures of our historical or future financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. These measures include the following:

•

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) and Adjusted EBITDAre, as a measure of performance for Host Inc. and Host L.P.,

•

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per diluted share, both calculated in accordance with National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) guidelines and with certain adjustments from those guidelines, as a measure of performance for Host Inc., and

•

Comparable hotel operating results, as a measure of performance for Host Inc. and Host L.P.

The discussion below defines these measures and presents why we believe they are useful supplemental measures of our performance.

Set forth below for each such non-GAAP financial measure is a reconciliation of the measure with the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that we consider most directly comparable thereto. We also have included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 further explanations of the adjustments being made, a statement disclosing the reasons why we believe the presentation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations, the additional purposes for which we use the non-GAAP financial measures and limitations on their use.

EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

EBITDA

EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries. Management believes EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it helps us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our properties after removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization). Management also believes the use of EBITDA facilitates comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital-intensive companies. Management uses EBITDA to evaluate property-level results and as one measure in determining the value of acquisitions and dispositions and, like FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share, it is widely used by management in the annual budget process and for compensation programs.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We present EBITDAre in accordance with NAREIT guidelines, as defined in its September 2017 white paper “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate,” to provide an additional performance measure to facilitate the evaluation and comparison of our results with other REITs. NAREIT defines EBITDAre as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change of control), impairment expense for depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s pro rata share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDAre also is similar to the measure

used to calculate certain credit ratios for our credit facility and senior notes. We adjust EBITDAre for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted EBITDAre:

•

Property Insurance Gains – We exclude the effect of property insurance gains reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations because we believe that including them in Adjusted EBITDAre is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our assets. In addition, property insurance gains could be less important to investors given that the depreciated asset book value written off in connection with the calculation of the property insurance gain often does not reflect the market value of real estate assets.

•

Acquisition Costs – Under GAAP, costs associated with completed property acquisitions that are considered business combinations are expensed in the year incurred. We exclude the effect of these costs because we believe they are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company.

•

Litigation Gains and Losses – We exclude the effect of gains or losses associated with litigation recorded under GAAP that we consider outside the ordinary course of business. We believe that including these items is not consistent with our ongoing operating performance.

•

Severance Expense – In certain circumstances, we will add back hotel-level severance expenses when we do not believe that such expenses are reflective of the ongoing operation of our properties. Situations that would result in a severance add-back include, but are not limited to: (i) costs incurred as part of a broad-based reconfiguration of the operating model with the specific hotel operator for a portfolio of hotels and (ii) costs incurred at a specific hotel due to a broad-based and significant reconfiguration of a hotel and/or its workforce. We do not add back corporate-level severance costs or severance costs at an individual hotel that we consider to be incurred in the normal course of business.

In unusual circumstances, we also may adjust EBITDAre for gains or losses that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current operating performance. The last adjustment of this nature was a 2013 exclusion of a gain from an eminent domain claim.

The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre to net income, the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that we consider the most directly comparable:

(2) Unrealized gains of our unconsolidated investments are not recognized in our EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, NAREIT FFO or Adjusted FFO until they have been realized by the unconsolidated partnership.

FFO Measures

We present NAREIT FFO and NAREIT FFO per diluted share as non-GAAP measures of our performance in addition to our earnings per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP). We calculate NAREIT FFO per diluted share as our NAREIT FFO (defined as set forth below) for a given operating period, as adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during such period, in accordance with NAREIT guidelines. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted NAREIT’s

definition of FFO included in NAREIT’s Funds From Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to certain real estate assets, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, impairment expense of certain real estate assets and investments and adjustments for consolidated partially-owned entities and unconsolidated affiliates. Adjustments for consolidated partially-owned entities and unconsolidated affiliates are calculated to reflect our pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis.

We also present Adjusted FFO per diluted share when evaluating our performance because management believes that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. Management historically has made the adjustments detailed below in evaluating our performance, in our annual budget process and for our compensation programs. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted FFO per diluted share, when combined with both the primary GAAP presentation of diluted earnings per share and FFO per diluted share as defined by NAREIT, provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our operating performance. We adjust NAREIT FFO per diluted share for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to this measure as Adjusted FFO per diluted share:

•

Gains and Losses on the Extinguishment of Debt – We exclude the effect of finance charges and premiums associated with the extinguishment of debt, including the acceleration of the write-off of deferred financing costs from the original issuance of the debt being redeemed or retired and incremental interest expense incurred during the refinancing period. We also exclude the gains on debt repurchases and the original issuance costs associated with the retirement of preferred stock. We believe that these items are not reflective of our ongoing finance costs.

•

Severance Expense – In certain circumstances, we will add back hotel-level severance expenses when we do not believe that such expenses are reflective of the ongoing operation of our properties. Situations that would result in a severance add-back include, but are not limited to, (i) costs incurred as part of a broad-based reconfiguration of the operating model with the specific hotel operator for a portfolio of hotels and (ii) costs incurred at a specific hotel due to a broad-based and significant reconfiguration of a hotel and/or its workforce. We do not add back corporate-level severance costs or severance costs at an individual hotel that we consider to be incurred in the normal course of business.

In unusual circumstances, we also may adjust NAREIT FFO for gains or losses that management believes are not representative of our current operating performance. For example, in 2017, as a result of the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we remeasured our domestic deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and recorded a one-time adjustment to reduce our deferred tax assets and to increase the provision for income taxes by approximately $11 million. We do not consider this adjustment to be reflective of our ongoing operating performance and, therefore, we excluded this item from Adjusted FFO.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the differences between our non-GAAP financial measures, NAREIT FFO and Adjusted FFO (separately and on a per diluted share basis), and net income, the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that we consider most directly comparable:

(3) Diluted earnings per common share, NAREIT FFO per diluted share and Adjusted FFO per diluted share are adjusted for the effects of dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, preferred OP units held by minority partners and other non-controlling interests that have the option to convert their limited partner interests to common OP units. No effect is shown for securities if they are anti-dilutive.

Comparable Hotel Property Level Operating Results

We present certain operating results for our hotels, such as hotel revenues, expenses, food and beverage profit, and EBITDA (and the related margins), on a comparable hotel, or "same store," basis as supplemental information for our investors. Our comparable hotel results present operating results for our hotels without giving effect to dispositions or properties that experienced closures due to renovations or property damage, as discussed in “Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics and Results” above. We present comparable hotel EBITDA to help us and our investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of our comparable hotels after removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization expense). Corporate-level costs and expenses also are removed to arrive at property-level results. We believe these property-level results provide investors with supplemental information about the ongoing operating performance of our comparable hotels. Comparable hotel results are presented both by location and for our properties in the aggregate. We eliminate from our comparable hotel level operating results severance costs related to broad-based and significant property-level reconfiguration that is not considered to be within the normal course of business, as we believe this elimination provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our ongoing operating performance. We also eliminate depreciation and amortization expense because, even though depreciation and amortization expense are property-level expenses, these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost accounting for real estate assets, implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. As noted earlier, because real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many real estate industry investors have considered presentation of historical cost accounting for operating results to be insufficient.

Because of the elimination of corporate-level costs and expenses, gains or losses on disposition, certain severance expenses and depreciation and amortization expense, the comparable hotel operating results we present do not represent our total revenues, expenses, operating profit or net income and should not be used to evaluate our performance as a whole. Management compensates for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our consolidated statements of operations include such amounts, all of which should be considered by investors when evaluating our performance.

We present these hotel operating results on a comparable hotel basis because we believe that doing so provides investors and management with useful information for evaluating the period-to-period performance of our hotels and facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners. In particular, these measures assist management and investors in distinguishing whether increases or decreases in revenues and/or expenses are due to growth or decline of operations at comparable hotels (which represent the vast majority of our portfolio) or from other factors. While management believes that presentation of comparable hotel results is a supplemental measure that provides useful information in evaluating our ongoing performance, this measure is not used to allocate resources or to assess the operating performance of each of our hotels, as these decisions are based on data for individual hotels and are not based on comparable hotel results in the aggregate. For these reasons, we believe comparable hotel operating results, when combined with the presentation of GAAP operating profit, revenues and expenses, provide useful information to investors and management.

The following tables present certain operating results and statistics for our hotels for the periods presented herein and a reconciliation of the differences between comparable Hotel EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, and net income, the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that we consider most directly comparable. Similar reconciliations of the differences between (i) hotel revenues and (ii) our revenues as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (each of which is used in the applicable margin calculation), and between (iii) hotel expenses and (iv) operating costs and expenses as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, also are included in the reconciliation:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

All information in this section applies to both Host Inc. and Host L.P.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 76% of our outstanding debt bore interest at fixed rates. To manage interest rate risk applicable to our debt, we may enter into interest rate swaps or caps. The interest rate derivatives into which we may enter are strictly to hedge interest rate risk, and are not for trading purposes. As of June 30, 2023, we do not have any interest rate derivatives outstanding. See Item 7A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10–K.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

As we have operations outside of the United States (specifically, the ownership of hotels in Brazil and Canada and a minority investment in a joint venture in India), currency exchange risks arise in the normal course of our business. To manage the currency exchange risk, we may enter into forward or option contracts or hedge our investment through the issuance of foreign currency denominated debt. No foreign currency hedging transactions were entered into during 2023. We currently have three foreign currency forward purchase contracts with a total notional amount of CAD 99 million ($75 million), which will mature in August and September 2023. The foreign currency exchange agreements into which we have entered are strictly to hedge foreign currency risk and are not for trading purposes.
