Worldwide comparable systemwide RevPAR rose 3.4% in the quarter and 3.8% for the first half, driven mainly by higher ADR, with U.S. & Canada RevPAR up 5.0% and International modestly weaker due to Middle East conflict impacts. The system reached 10,082 properties and 1.81 million rooms, with nearly 4,200 properties (about 629,000 rooms) in the development pipeline. Operating cash flow was $1,806 million in the first half, funding $1.82 billion of share repurchases, $370 million of dividends, and $282 million of capital and technology spending. Long-term debt rose to $16,455 million after issuing $600 million of 4.500% notes due 2033 and $850 million of 5.100% notes due 2038. Results include a $68 million impairment on a U.S. & Canada hotel and a Starwood data incident loss accrual that management characterizes as not material.

Revenue per Available Room financial
"We believe Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) ... is a meaningful indicator"
A hotel industry metric that measures how much money, on average, each room generates over a given period by dividing total room revenue by the number of rooms available, whether occupied or not. It matters to investors because it combines occupancy and pricing into a single number—think of it as the average earnings per seat on a bus—making it easy to compare profitability and sales performance across properties or periods.
co-branded credit card program financial
"agreements in the U.S. with JPMorgan Chase and American Express in connection with our co-branded credit card program"
cost reimbursements financial
"Cost reimbursements, net (cost reimbursement revenue, net of reimbursed expenses) varies"
segment profit financial
"Our President and Chief Executive Officer ... evaluates the performance of our operating segments using “segment profits”"
Segment profit is the portion of a company's earnings produced by a single business unit or division after subtracting the costs directly tied to that unit. It shows how much money that part of the company actually contributes, like checking which room in a house uses most of the electricity. Investors use it to identify strong or weak businesses inside a company, guide capital allocation, and make clearer comparisons between divisions.
Senior Notes financial
"We provide detail on our long-term debt balances ... Senior Notes (in order of maturity)"
Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.
asset-light business model financial
"Under our asset-light business model ... we own or lease very few of our lodging properties"

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (referred to in this report as “we,” “us,” “Marriott,” or the “Company”). In order to make this report easier to read, we also refer throughout to (1) our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as our “Financial Statements,” (2) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as our “Income Statements,” (3) our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as our “Balance Sheets,” (4) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as our “Statements of Cash Flows,” (5) our properties, brands, or markets in the United States and Canada as “U.S. & Canada,” and (6) our properties, brands, or markets in our Europe, Middle East & Africa, Greater China, Asia Pacific excluding China, and Caribbean & Latin America regions, as “International.” References throughout to numbered “Notes” refer to these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise stated. In addition, we use the term “hotel owners” throughout this report to refer, collectively, to owners of hotels and other lodging offerings operating in our system pursuant to franchise agreements, management agreements, license agreements, or similar arrangements, and we use the term “hotels in our system” to refer to hotels and other lodging offerings operating in our system pursuant to such arrangements, as well as hotels that we own or lease. The terms “hotel owners” and “hotels in our system” exclude Homes & Villas by Marriott BonvoySM (which we also exclude from our property and room count), timeshare, residential, and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection®.
These Financial Statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Financial Statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Form 10-K”). Certain terms not otherwise defined in this Form 10-Q have the meanings specified in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Preparation of financial statements that conform with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. We have eliminated all material intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these Financial Statements and reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to our current period presentation.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06 - “Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (Topic 350). ASU 2025-06 eliminates references to software development project stages and revises the criteria that must be met to begin capitalizing internal-use software costs. The standard permits entities to adopt the guidance using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach and becomes effective for us beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on our financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We granted 0.5 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) during the 2026 first half to certain executives and other employees, and those units vest generally over or four years in equal annual installments commencing one year after the grant date. We also granted 0.1 million performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) in the 2026 first half to certain executives and other senior-level employees, which are earned subject to continued employment and the satisfaction of certain performance and market conditions based on the degree of achievement of pre-established targets for 2028 adjusted EBITDA performance and relative total stockholder return over the 2026 to 2028 performance period. RSUs, including PSUs, granted in the 2026 first half had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $345 per unit.
We recorded stock-based compensation expense for RSUs and PSUs of $55 million in the 2026 second quarter, $49 million in the 2025 second quarter, $101 million in the 2026 first half, and $92 million in the 2025 first half. Deferred compensation costs for unvested awards for RSUs and PSUs totaled $279 million as of June 30, 2026.
NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate decreased to 26.6 percent for the 2026 second quarter compared to 27.6 percent for the 2025 second quarter, primarily due to lower tax on non-U.S. income.
Our effective tax rate increased to 25.7 percent for the 2026 first half compared to 21.4 percent for the 2025 first half, primarily due to the prior year release of tax reserves, partially offset by lower tax on non-U.S. income.
We paid cash for income taxes, net of refunds, of $350 million in the 2026 first half and $534 million in the 2025 first half.

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
We present the maximum potential amount of our future guarantee fundings and the carrying amount of our liability for our debt service, operating profit, and other guarantees for which we are the primary obligor as of June 30, 2026 in the following table:
(in millions) Guarantee Type | Maximum Potential Amount of Future Fundings | Recorded Liability for Guarantees | ||||||||||||
| Debt service | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Operating profit | ||||||||||||||
| Other | ||||||||||||||
| $ | $ | |||||||||||||
Our maximum potential guarantees listed in the preceding table include $70 million of operating profit guarantees that will not be in effect until the underlying properties open and we begin to operate the properties or certain other events occur.
Starwood Data Security Incident
Description of Event
On November 30, 2018, we announced a data security incident involving unauthorized access to the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, LLC, formerly known as Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (“Starwood”), reservations database (the “Data Security Incident”). We discontinued use of the Starwood reservations database for business operations at the end of 2018.
Litigation, Claims, and Government Investigations
Following our announcement of the Data Security Incident, approximately 100 lawsuits were filed by consumers and others against us in U.S. federal, U.S. state and Canadian courts related to the incident. The plaintiffs in these cases, who generally purport to represent various classes of consumers, generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by the Company in connection with the Data Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief. The U.S. cases were consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the “District Court”), pursuant to orders of the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the “MDL”). In 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the District Court’s certification of a class of consumer plaintiffs for the second time, and some plaintiffs subsequently filed lawsuits in New York state court on an individual basis, alleging violations of New York statutory law and seeking monetary damages, attorneys’ fees, and other related relief. We are progressing in our mediation discussions with the U.S. consumer plaintiffs, and we believe it is probable that we will incur losses in relation to these cases. As of June 30, 2026, we have recorded an accrual for an estimated loss contingency related to these matters, which is not material to our Financial Statements. The Canadian cases remain pending. We dispute the allegations in these lawsuits and are vigorously defending against such claims.
In addition, most inquiries and investigations by U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign governmental authorities have been resolved or no longer appear to be active.
While we believe it is reasonably possible that we may incur losses in excess of the amounts recorded associated with the above-described lawsuits or regulatory investigations related to the Data Security Incident, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the amount of such losses or range of loss in excess of the amounts recorded that might result from adverse judgments, settlements, or other resolution of these proceedings based on: (1) in the case of the above-described lawsuits, the current stage of these proceedings, the absence of specificity as to alleged damages, the uncertainty as to the certification of a class or classes and the size of any certified class, and the lack of resolution of significant factual and legal issues, and (2) uncertainty regarding regulatory inquiries or investigations.

Other Legal Proceedings
We have been and are currently party to other legal proceedings involving claims that we infringe the intellectual property rights of others. At this time, we do not expect these proceedings to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We paid cash for interest, net of amounts capitalized, of $381 million in the 2026 first half and $328 million in the 2025 first half.
We are party to a $4.5 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). Available borrowings under the Credit Facility support our commercial paper program and general corporate needs. U.S. dollar borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at SOFR (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate) plus a spread based on our public debt rating. We also pay quarterly fees on the Credit Facility at a rate based on our public debt rating. We classify outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and outstanding commercial paper borrowings (which generally have short-term maturities of 45 days or less) as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the outstanding borrowings on a long-term basis. The Credit Facility expires on December 14, 2027.

In February 2026, we issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500 percent Series WW Notes due May 1, 2033 (the “Series WW Notes”) and $850 million aggregate principal amount of 5.100 percent Series XX Notes due May 1, 2038 (the “Series XX Notes”). We will pay interest on the Series WW Notes and Series XX Notes in May and November of each year, commencing in November 2026. Net proceeds from the offering of the Series WW Notes and Series XX Notes were approximately $1.425 billion, after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses, and were made available for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases, or repayment of outstanding indebtedness.
We determine the fair value of our Senior Notes using quoted market prices, which are directly observable Level 1 inputs. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of our noncurrent Senior Notes was $15,039 million (carrying amount of $15,090 million) and $13,836 million (carrying amount of $13,686 million), respectively. The carrying amount of our commercial paper borrowings approximates fair value due to their short maturity and because they bear interest at a market rate. See the “Fair Value Measurements” caption of Note 2 and Note 12 of our 2025 Form 10-K for more information on the input levels we use in determining fair value.
NOTE 7. DISPOSITION
In April 2026, a U.S. & Canada hotel met the accounting criteria to be designated as an asset held for sale. We determined that the carrying amount of the hotel exceeded its fair value less costs to sell, based on a purchase and sale agreement with a third-party buyer, and recorded an impairment charge of $68 million in the “Depreciation, amortization, and other” caption of our Income Statements. In May 2026, we completed the sale of the hotel and entered into a long-term management agreement to operate the hotel.

NOTE 9. CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Our current and noncurrent liability for guest loyalty program increased by $452 million, to $8,444 million as of June 30, 2026, from $7,992 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting points earned by members. The increase was partially offset by $1,802 million of revenue recognized in the 2026 first half, that was deferred as of December 31, 2025. The current portion of our liability for guest loyalty program increased by $183 million compared to December 31, 2025, mainly due to higher estimated redemptions in the short-term.
Our allowance for credit losses was $215 million as of June 30, 2026 and $212 million as of December 31, 2025.
NOTE 10. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We discuss our operations in the following four reportable business segments: (1) U.S. & Canada, (2) Europe, Middle East & Africa (“EMEA”), (3) Greater China, and (4) Asia Pacific excluding China (“APEC”). Our Caribbean & Latin America (“CALA”) operating segment does not meet the applicable accounting criteria for separate disclosure as a reportable business segment, and as such, we include its results in “Unallocated corporate and other.”
12
Table of Contents
Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our “chief operating decision maker” (“CODM”), evaluates the performance of our operating segments using “segment profits,” which is based largely on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, income taxes, indirect general and administrative expenses, or restructuring and merger-related charges, and other expenses. We assign gains and losses, equity in earnings or losses, and direct general and administrative expenses to each of our segments. “Unallocated corporate and other” includes a portion of our revenues (such as fees we receive from our credit card programs and timeshare licensing agreements), revenues and expenses for our Loyalty Program, indirect general and administrative expenses, restructuring and merger-related charges, and other expenses, equity in earnings or losses, and other gains or losses that we do not allocate to our segments, as well as results of our CALA operating segment.
Our CODM uses segment profits to allocate resources (including employees and investment spending) to each segment, primarily as part of the annual budget process. Our CODM reviews budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis to assess segment performance. Additionally, our CODM uses segment profits to compare the results of each segment with one another and in the determination of compensation for segment leadership.
Our CODM monitors assets for the consolidated Company but does not use assets by operating segment when assessing performance or making operating segment resource allocations.
Segment Revenues, Expenses, and Profits

BUSINESS AND OVERVIEW
Overview
We are a worldwide franchisor, operator, and licensor of hotel, residential, timeshare, and other lodging properties under a broad portfolio of compelling brands at different price and service points. We discuss our operations in the following reportable business segments: (1) U.S. & Canada, (2) Europe, Middle East & Africa (“EMEA”), (3) Greater China, and (4) Asia Pacific excluding China (“APEC”). Our Caribbean & Latin America (“CALA”) operating segment does not meet the applicable accounting criteria for separate disclosure as a reportable business segment, and as such, we include its results in “Unallocated corporate and other.”
Under our asset-light business model and consistent with our focus on franchising, management, and licensing, we own or lease very few of our lodging properties. Under our hotel franchising arrangements, we generally receive an initial application fee and continuing royalty fees, which are typically based on a percentage of room revenues, plus for certain brands, a percentage of food and beverage revenues. Terms of our management agreements vary, but we earn a management fee that is typically composed of a base management fee, which is a percentage of the revenues of the hotel, and an incentive management fee, which is based on the profits of the hotel. In many cases (particularly in our U.S. & Canada, Europe, and CALA regions), incentive management fees are subject to a specified owner return. We also have license and other agreements with third parties for certain offerings, such as for our timeshare properties, MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, Design Hotels, and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, under which we receive royalty and certain other fees. Additionally, we earn fees for other uses of our intellectual property, including primarily co-branded credit card fees, as well as residential branding fees and certain other licensing fees.
Performance Measures
We believe Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”), which we calculate by dividing property level room revenue by total rooms available for the period, is a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period-over-period change in room revenues. RevPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures, such as revenues, and should not be viewed as necessarily correlating with our fee revenue. We also believe occupancy and average daily rate (“ADR”), which are components of calculating RevPAR, are meaningful indicators of our performance. Occupancy, which we calculate by dividing total rooms sold by total rooms available for the period, measures the utilization of a property’s available capacity. ADR, which we calculate by dividing property level room revenue by total rooms sold, measures average room price and is useful in assessing pricing levels. Unless otherwise stated, RevPAR, occupancy, and ADR statistics are on a systemwide basis for comparable properties, and all changes refer to year-over-year changes for the comparable period. Comparisons to prior periods are on a constant U.S. dollar basis, which we calculate by applying exchange rates for the current period to the prior comparable period. We believe constant dollar analysis provides valuable information regarding the performance of hotels in our system as it removes currency fluctuations from the presentation of such results.
15
Table of Contents
We define our comparable properties as hotels in our system that were open and operating under one of our brands since the beginning of the last full calendar year (since January 1, 2025 for the current period) and have not, in either the current or previous year: (1) undergone significant room or public space renovations or expansions, (2) been converted between company-operated and franchised, or (3) sustained substantial property damage or business interruption. Our comparable properties also exclude MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, Design Hotels, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, residences, timeshare, and all-inclusive properties.
Business Trends
In the 2026 second quarter, worldwide RevPAR increased 3.4 percent, primarily driven by ADR growth of 3.5 percent. In the 2026 first half, worldwide RevPAR increased 3.8 percent, primarily driven by ADR growth of 3.3 percent. RevPAR growth was strong across all of our regions, except for Middle East & Africa.
In the U.S. & Canada, RevPAR increased 5.0 percent in the 2026 second quarter and 4.6 percent in the 2026 first half, reflecting strong demand across all brand tiers and customer segments, as well as demand from the World Cup in June 2026.
In our International regions, RevPAR decreased 0.5 percent in the 2026 second quarter and grew 2.0 percent in the 2026 first half. Performance was negatively impacted by the conflict in the Middle East, which resulted in a sharp decline in RevPAR in our Middle East & Africa region beginning in March 2026, with the impact from the conflict continuing into the third quarter. The continued operational and financial impact on our business depends on the duration and extent of travel disruption resulting from the conflict.
During 2026, we executed new multi-year agreements in the U.S. with JPMorgan Chase and American Express in connection with our co-branded credit card program. We expect the agreements to have a favorable impact on our total revenues in future periods, primarily in the “Cost reimbursement revenue” caption, followed by the “Franchise fees” caption, of our Income Statements.
Starwood Data Security Incident
On November 30, 2018, we announced a data security incident involving unauthorized access to the Starwood reservations database (the “Data Security Incident”). We are currently unable to reasonably estimate the range of total possible financial impact to the Company from the Data Security Incident in excess of the expenses already recorded; however, we do not believe this incident will impact our long-term financial health. See Note 5 for additional information related to legal proceedings and investigations related to the Data Security Incident.
System Growth and Pipeline
At the end of the 2026 second quarter, our system had 10,082 properties (1,813,698 rooms), compared to 9,805 properties (1,779,936 rooms) at year-end 2025 and 9,601 properties (1,735,819 rooms) at the end of the 2025 second quarter. In the 2026 first half, we added roughly 33,800 net rooms.
At the end of the 2026 second quarter, we had nearly 4,200 properties and approximately 629,000 rooms in our development pipeline, which included over 34,000 rooms approved for development but not yet under signed contracts. At the end of the 2026 second quarter, our development pipeline included over 279,000 rooms, or 44 percent, that were under construction, including hotels that are in the process of converting to our system. Over half of the rooms in our quarter-end development pipeline were located outside U.S. & Canada.
We currently expect full year 2026 net rooms growth to be toward the low end of our 4.5 to 5.0 percent range.

The increase in franchise fees in the 2026 second quarter and 2026 first half primarily reflected higher co-branded credit card fees ($73 million and $132 million, respectively) as well as higher revenue related to our franchised properties due to rooms growth ($30 million and $53 million, respectively), higher RevPAR, and other items. The increase in franchise fees in the 2026 first half also reflected higher residential branding fees ($32 million).
The increase in incentive management fees in the 2026 second quarter and 2026 first half primarily reflected higher profits at managed hotels in the U.S. & Canada.

Owned, leased, and other revenue, net of owned, leased, and other expense, decreased in the 2026 second quarter and 2026 first half primarily due to a property-related litigation accrual ($27 million for both the 2026 second quarter and 2026 first half). At our owned and leased hotels, higher revenues were largely offset by higher expenses in both periods, reflecting strong performance at many hotels partially offset by the impact of hotels under renovations.

Cost reimbursements, net (cost reimbursement revenue, net of reimbursed expenses) varies due to timing differences between the costs we incur for centralized programs and services and the related reimbursements we receive from hotel owners and certain other counterparties. Over the long term, our centralized programs and services are not designed to impact our economics, either positively or negatively.
The decrease in cost reimbursements, net in the 2026 second quarter and 2026 first half primarily reflected higher expenses, net of revenues for many of our centralized programs and services. Loyalty Program activity further reduced cost reimbursements, net, in the 2026 second quarter due to lower revenue, while partially offsetting the decline in the 2026 first half due to lower expenses.

Provision for income taxes increased in the 2026 first half primarily due to the prior year release of tax reserves ($91 million) and higher pre-tax income ($42 million).

In the 2026 second quarter and 2026 first half, compared to the same periods in 2025, segment net fee revenues grew in the U.S. & Canada, compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily driven by higher RevPAR and rooms growth (see the Lodging Statistics and Properties and Rooms tables above for more information), as well as higher incentive management fees ($26 million and $35 million, respectively) and residential branding fees ($22 million and $36 million, respectively).

Table of Contents
U.S. & Canada segment profit decreased in the 2026 second quarter and 2026 first half, compared to the same periods in 2025, despite the higher net fee revenues, primarily due to the $68 million impairment charge discussed in Note 7, lower cost reimbursement revenue, net of reimbursed expenses ($37 million and $109 million, respectively), and a property-related litigation accrual ($27 million for both the 2026 second quarter and 2026 first half).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our long-term financial objectives include maintaining diversified financing sources, optimizing the mix and maturity of our long-term debt, and reducing our working capital. At the end of the 2026 second quarter, including the effect of interest rate swaps, our total long-term debt (current and noncurrent) had a weighted average interest rate of 4.6 percent, a weighted average maturity of approximately 5.5 years, and a ratio of fixed-rate to total long-term debt of 0.8 to 1.0.
Sources of Liquidity
Our Credit Facility
We are party to a $4.5 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). Available borrowings under the Credit Facility support our commercial paper program and general corporate needs. U.S. dollar borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at SOFR (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate) plus a spread based on our public debt rating. We also pay quarterly fees on the Credit Facility at a rate based on our public debt rating. We classify outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and outstanding commercial paper borrowings (which generally have short-term maturities of 45 days or less) as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the outstanding borrowings on a long-term basis. The Credit Facility expires on December 14, 2027.
The Credit Facility contains certain covenants, including a single financial covenant that limits our maximum leverage (consisting of the ratio of Adjusted Total Debt to EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Facility) to not more than 4.5 to 1.0. Our outstanding public debt does not contain a corresponding financial covenant or a requirement that we maintain certain financial ratios. We currently satisfy the covenants in our Credit Facility and public debt instruments, including the leverage covenant under the Credit Facility, and do not expect the covenants will restrict our ability to meet our anticipated borrowing and liquidity needs.
We monitor the status of the capital markets and regularly evaluate the effect that changes in capital market conditions may have on our ability to fund our liquidity needs. We believe the Credit Facility and our access to capital markets, together with cash we expect to generate from operations, remain adequate to meet our liquidity requirements over the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.
Commercial Paper
We issue commercial paper in the U.S. Because we do not have purchase commitments from buyers for our commercial paper, our ability to issue commercial paper is subject to market demand. We do not expect that fluctuations in the demand for commercial paper will affect our liquidity, given our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility and access to capital markets.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $472 million as of June 30, 2026, an increase of $101 million from December 31, 2025, primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities ($1,806 million), long-term debt issuances, net of repayments ($670 million), loan collections ($102 million), and dispositions ($93 million, primarily due to the sale of a U.S. & Canada hotel), partially offset by share repurchases ($1,819 million), dividends paid ($370 million), capital and technology expenditures ($282 million), and financing outflows for employee stock-based compensation withholding taxes ($126 million).
Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 0.5 to 1.0 at the end of the 2026 second quarter. We have significant borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility should we need additional working capital.
21
Table of Contents
Capital Expenditures and Other Investments
We made capital and technology expenditures of $282 million in the 2026 first half and $290 million in the 2025 first half. We expect capital expenditures and other investments will total approximately $1,250 million to $1,350 million for the 2026 full year, including contract acquisition costs, capital and technology expenditures, renovations at owned and leased hotels, loan advances, and other investing activities, but excluding any potential property or brand acquisitions, which we cannot forecast with sufficient accuracy and which may be significant. Our anticipated capital and technology expenditures include higher than typical spending on our worldwide technology systems transformation, the overwhelming portion of which we expect to be reimbursed over time.
Share Repurchases and Dividends
We repurchased 3.0 million shares of our common stock for $1.1 billion in the 2026 second quarter. Year-to-date through July 29, 2026, we repurchased 6.2 million shares for $2.2 billion. For additional information, see “Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” in Part II, Item 2.
Our Board of Directors declared the following quarterly cash dividends in 2026 to date: (1) $0.67 per share declared on February 12, 2026 and paid on March 31, 2026 to stockholders of record on February 26, 2026; and (2) $0.73 per share declared on May 8, 2026 and paid on June 30, 2026 to stockholders of record on May 22, 2026.
We expect to continue to return cash to stockholders through a combination of share repurchases and cash dividends.
Material Cash Requirements
As of the end of the 2026 second quarter, there have been no material changes to our cash requirements as disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K. See Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our 2025 Form 10-K for more information about our cash requirements. Also, see Note 6 for information on our long-term debt.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our 2025 Form 10-K. We have made no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions that we apply under them.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed since December 31, 2025. See Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2025 Form 10-K for more information on our exposure to market risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of those controls and procedures, which by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance about management’s control objectives. You should note that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
22
Table of Contents
controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that we record, process, summarize, and report the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to provide reasonable assurance that we accumulate and communicate such information to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions about required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We made no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the 2026 second quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See the information under the “Litigation, Claims, and Government Investigations” caption in Note 5, which we incorporate here by reference. Within this section, we use a threshold of $1 million in disclosing material environmental proceedings involving a governmental authority, if any.
From time to time, we are also subject to other legal proceedings and claims, including adjustments proposed during governmental examinations of the various tax returns we file. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these other proceedings, individually and in aggregate, will not materially harm our business, financial condition, cash flows, or overall trends in results of operations, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and unfavorable rulings could, individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are subject to various risks that make an investment in our securities risky. You should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2025 Form 10-K. There are no material changes to the risk factors discussed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
