MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS

We report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are labeled as “adjusted” (or “adj”), “combined,” or identified with the symbol “†”. In addition, even if they are not marked as adjusted, all scenarios and models presented that include future periods (including fiscal years 2019, 2020, and 2021) assume the following items to be zero, and therefore do not include their impact, which we cannot accurately forecast or model and which may be significant: cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, merger-related costs and charges, data security incident costs, and gains and losses on asset dispositions made by us or by our joint venture investees. We discuss management’s reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below, and the tables on the following pages reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we present, to the extent available without unreasonable efforts. Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share, or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS. Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS reflect our net income and diluted earnings per share excluding the impact of cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, merger-related costs and charges, gains and losses on asset dispositions made by us or by our joint venture investees, the income tax effect of these adjustments, and the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We calculate the income tax effect of the adjustments using an estimated tax rate applicable to each adjustment. We exclude gains and losses on asset dispositions made by us or by our joint venture investees, which we did not exclude (except for the gain on the sale of our ownership interest in Avendra) when calculating Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS in our February 28, 2019 earnings release, to assist in comparisons with our models, which assume no gains from asset sales. We believe that these measures are meaningful indicators of our performance because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations before these items and for the reasons further described below.

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income Margin.  Adjusted operating income and Adjusted operating income margin exclude cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, and merger-related costs and charges. Adjusted operating income margin reflects Adjusted operating income divided by Adjusted total revenues. We believe that these are meaningful metrics because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations before these items and for the reasons further described below.
 
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA reflects net income excluding the impact of the following items: cost reimbursement revenue and reimbursed expenses, interest expense, depreciation (including depreciation classified in “Reimbursed expenses,” as discussed below), amortization, provision for income taxes, merger-related costs and charges, and share-based compensation expense for all periods presented. When applicable, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes gains and losses on asset dispositions made by us or by our joint venture investees.

In our presentations of Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating income margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA we exclude transaction and transition costs associated with the Starwood merger, which we record in the “Merger-related costs and charges” caption of our Income Statements, to allow for period-over period comparisons of our ongoing operations before the impact of these items. We exclude cost reimbursement revenue and reimbursed expenses, which relate to property-level and

1


centralized programs and services that we operate for the benefit of our hotel owners. We do not operate these programs and services to generate a profit over the contract term, and accordingly, when we recover the costs that we incur for these programs and services from our hotel owners, we do not seek a mark-up. For property-level services, our owners typically reimburse us at the same time that we incur expenses. However, for centralized programs and services, our owners may reimburse us before or after we incur expenses, causing temporary timing differences between the costs we incur and the related reimbursement from hotel owners in our operating and net income. Over the long term, these programs and services are not designed to impact our economics, either positively or negatively. Because we do not retain any such profits or losses over time, we exclude the net impact when evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating results.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of our operating performance because it permits period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations before these items and facilitates our comparison of results before these items with results from other lodging companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels, and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provisions for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. Our Adjusted EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization expense which we report under “Depreciation, amortization, and other” as well as depreciation classified in “Reimbursed expenses” and “Contract investment amortization” in our Consolidated Statements of Income (our “Income Statements”), because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. Depreciation classified in “Reimbursed expenses” reflects depreciation of Marriott-owned assets, for which we receive cash from owners to reimburse the company for its investments made for the benefit of the system. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. We exclude share-based compensation expense to address the considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use share-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted.

Investment Spending and Adjusted Cash from Operations. We evaluate Investment spending and consider it to be a meaningful metric because it provides detail on our modeled cumulative capital allocations for the three-year period from 2019 to 2021. When determining capital allocations, we include contract acquisition costs, and therefore, we present it as a component of investment spending. Accordingly, we exclude contract acquisition costs from Net cash provided by operating activities to arrive at our non-GAAP measure of Adjusted cash from operations.

Cash Available for Enhancing Shareholder Value and Available for Shareholders. We calculate Cash available for enhancing shareholder value as the sum of Adjusted cash from operations, debt issuance net of repayment, issuance of common stock and other, and capital recycling. We calculate Cash available for shareholders as Cash available for enhancing shareholder value less Investment spending. We consider these measures to be meaningful indicators of our operating performance and evaluate them because they represent the cash we expect to have for debt service requirements, incremental investments, share repurchases, dividends, and other purposes.

Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). We calculate ROIC as Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense and Taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”) divided by the average of invested capital. Adjusted EBIT reflects net income excluding the impact of the following items: cost reimbursement revenue and reimbursed expenses, interest expense, provision for income taxes, merger-related costs and charges, and when applicable gains and losses on asset dispositions made by us or by our joint venture investees. We calculate invested capital by deducting

2


from total assets: (1) current liabilities, as we intend to satisfy them in the short term, net of current portion of long-term debt, as the numerator of the calculation excludes interest expense; and (2) deferred tax assets because the numerator of the calculation is a pre-tax amount. We evaluate ROIC and consider it to be a meaningful indicator of our operating performance because it measures how effectively we use the money we invest in our operations.

Adjusted Debt to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, Rent (“Adjusted EBITDAR”). We calculate Adjusted debt as the sum of total debt net of cash, anticipated future operating lease payments, the present value of future payments resulting from the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act), and guarantee funding. Adjusted EBITDAR reflects operating income excluding cost reimbursement revenue and reimbursed expenses, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, and imputed interest and depreciation on operating leases. We calculate the leverage ratio by dividing Adjusted debt by Adjusted EBITDAR. We consider Adjusted Debt to Adjusted EBITDAR to be a meaningful indicator of operating performance because credit rating agencies use it to assess our credit quality.

RevPAR. In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures, we present Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) as a performance measure. We believe RevPAR is a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period-over-period change in room revenues for comparable properties. RevPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures, such as revenues. We calculate RevPAR by dividing room sales (recorded in local currency) for comparable properties by room nights available for the period. We present growth in comparative pro forma combined company RevPAR on a constant dollar basis, which we calculate by applying exchange rates for the current period to each period presented. We believe constant dollar analysis provides valuable information regarding our properties’ performance as it removes currency fluctuations from the presentation of such results.
