NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (the "Parent," or together with its subsidiaries, "Hilton," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is one of the largest hospitality companies in the world and is engaged in managing, franchising, owning and leasing hotels and resorts, and licensing its intellectual property ("IP"), including brand names, trademarks and service marks. As of June 30, 2022, we managed, franchised, owned or leased 6,983 hotels and resorts, including timeshare properties, totaling 1,098,321 rooms in 122 countries and territories.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are unaudited. We have condensed or omitted certain disclosures normally included in annual financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP but that are not required for interim reporting purposes. Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, these financial statements 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, 2021.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance. In particular, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic (the "pandemic") had an adverse impact on our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, when compared to periods prior to the onset of the pandemic; however, our results experienced significant recovery during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the prior year periods. As such, these interim periods, as well as upcoming periods, are unlikely to be comparable to periods prior to the onset of the pandemic or to other periods affected by the pandemic, and are not indicative of future performance. Management has made estimates and judgments in light of these circumstances. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2: Revenues from Contracts with Customers

Contract Liabilities

The following table summarizes the activity of our contract liabilities, which are classified as components of current and long-term deferred revenues, during the six months ended June 30, 2022:

	(in millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2021	$	1,166
Cash received in advance and not recognized as revenue	212
Revenue recognized(1)(2)	(241)
Other(3)	(85)
Balance as of June 30, 2022	$	1,052

____________

(1)Primarily related to Hilton Honors, our guest loyalty program, including co-branded credit card arrangements.

(2)Revenue recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $113 million. Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 included a net reduction in revenue of $13 million and $3 million, respectively, as a result of a change to the estimated breakage of Hilton Honors points for which point expirations have been temporarily suspended.

(3)Primarily represents changes in estimated transaction prices for our performance obligations related to points issued under Hilton Honors, which had no effect on revenues.

6

Hilton Honors Points Pre-Sale

In April 2020, we pre-sold Hilton Honors points to American Express for $1.0 billion in cash (the "Honors Points Pre-Sale") for their use of points in connection with Hilton Honors co-branded credit cards for promotions, rewards and other such incentive programs. Upon receipt of the cash in 2020, we recognized $636 million in deferred revenues and the remainder in liability for guest loyalty program. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the remaining points sold in the Honors Points Pre-Sale were used by American Express. All deferred revenues related to points that were outstanding as of June 30, 2022 are included in our Hilton Honors unsatisfied performance obligation described below.

Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2022, we had deferred revenues for unsatisfied performance obligations consisting of: (i) $363 million related to Hilton Honors that will be recognized as revenue over approximately the next two years; (ii) $33 million related to co-branded credit card arrangements; and (iii) $656 million related to application, initiation and other fees. These performance obligations are recognized as revenue as discussed in Note 2: "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Note 3: Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we consolidated two variable interest entities ("VIEs") that each lease a hotel property. We consolidated these VIEs since we are the primary beneficiary, having the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Additionally, we have the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to each of the VIEs individually. The assets of our consolidated VIEs are only available to settle the obligations of the respective entities, and the liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are non-recourse to us.

Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include the assets and liabilities of these entities, which primarily comprised the following:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2022		2021
	(in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	21	$	18
Property and equipment, net	47		60
Deferred income tax assets	52		62
Other non-current assets	52		62
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other	15		15
Long-term debt(1)	154		179
Other long-term liabilities	14		16

____________

(1)Includes finance lease liabilities of $118 million and $153 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, one of our consolidated VIEs had a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of 2.0 billion Japanese yen ("JPY") (equivalent to $15 million), with no amounts drawn as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our other consolidated VIE had drawn 300 million JPY (equivalent to $2 million) and 500 million JPY (equivalent to $4 million), respectively, under a revolving credit facility which did not have any remaining borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2022, and, in July 2022, the outstanding balance was repaid in full. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our consolidated VIEs borrowed an aggregate of 2.1 billion JPY (equivalent to $15 million as of June 30, 2022), with a weighted average interest rate of 0.9 percent as of June 30, 2022 and maturity dates in February 2029; all of these borrowings were included in long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.

(1)These notes are collectively referred to as the Senior Notes and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Parent and substantially all of its direct and indirect wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, other than Hilton Domestic Operating Company Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent and the issuer of all of the series of Senior Notes.

(2)Refer to Note 3: "Consolidated Variable Interest Entities" for additional information on the debt of our consolidated VIEs.

(3)Represents current maturities of finance lease liabilities and the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of a consolidated VIE.

Our senior secured credit facilities consist of a $1.75 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a senior secured term loan facility (the "Term Loan"). The obligations of our senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Parent and substantially all of its direct and indirect wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2022, we had $60 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $1,690 million.

Note 6: Fair Value Measurements

The fair values of certain financial instruments and the hierarchy level we used to estimate the fair values are shown below:

	June 30, 2022
			Hierarchy Level
	Carrying Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(in millions)
Assets:
Cash equivalents	$	354	$	—	$	354	$	—
Interest rate swap(1)	64		—		64		—
Liabilities:
Long-term debt(2)	8,539		5,243		—		2,519

	December 31, 2021
			Hierarchy Level
	Carrying Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(in millions)
Assets:
Cash equivalents	$	622	$	—	$	622	$	—
Liabilities:
Long-term debt(2)	8,532		6,180		—		2,599
Interest rate swaps(1)	41		—		41		—

____________

(1)Interest rate swaps are included in other non-current assets or other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets depending on their value to us as of the balance sheet date. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, one of the interest rate swaps that was outstanding as of December 31, 2021 matured. The remaining interest rate swap as of June 30, 2022 will mature in March 2026.

(2)The carrying values include the deduction for unamortized deferred financing costs and discount. The carrying values and fair values exclude finance lease liabilities and other debt of consolidated VIEs.

We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value, which was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis that reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs of similar instruments, including interest rate curves, as applicable.

The fair values of financial instruments not included in these tables are estimated to be equal to their carrying values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Note 7: Income Taxes

At the end of each quarter, we estimate the effective income tax rate expected to be applied for the full year. The effective income tax rate is determined by the level and composition of income (loss) before income taxes, which is subject to federal, state, local and foreign income taxes.

As of December 31, 2021, we had entered into a tentative agreement with the Internal Revenue Service, subject to approval by the Joint Committee on Taxation, to settle our federal examination through the 2010 tax year. The settlement was approved by the Joint Committee on Taxation during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The assets and liabilities relating to the settlement were previously recognized as of December 31, 2021, and no adjustments were necessary as a result of the settlement approval.

Note 8: Share-Based Compensation

We recognized share-based compensation expense of $47 million and $53 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $84 million and $92 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which included amounts reimbursed by hotel owners.

Our share-based compensation primarily consists of awards that we grant to eligible employees under the Hilton 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan") and includes time-vesting restricted stock units ("RSUs"), nonqualified stock options ("options") and performance-vesting RSUs ("performance shares"). As of June 30, 2022, unrecognized compensation costs for unvested awards under the 2017 Plan were approximately $181 million, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years on a straight-line basis.

RSUs

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we granted 505,000 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $150.67, which vest in equal annual installments over two or three years from the date of grant.

Options

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we granted 318,000 options with an exercise price per share of $150.67, which vest in equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant and terminate 10 years from the date of grant or earlier if the individual’s service terminates under certain circumstances.

10

The grant date fair value per share of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $51.15, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected volatility(1)	33.28	%
Dividend yield(2)	0.41	%
Risk-free rate(3)	1.93	%
Expected term (in years)(4)	6.0

____________

(1)Estimated using a blended approach of historical and implied volatility. Historical volatility is based on the historical movement of Hilton's stock price for a period that corresponds to the expected life of the option.

(2)Estimated based on the expectation, at the date of grant, of the resumption of a quarterly $0.15 per share dividend beginning in the second quarter of 2022, as well as our three-month average stock price.

(3)Based on the yields of U.S. Department of Treasury instruments with similar expected lives.

(4)Estimated using the midpoint of the vesting period and the contractual term of the options.

Performance Shares

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we granted 216,000 performance shares with a grant date fair value per share of $150.67. We recognize compensation expense based on the total number of performance shares that are expected to vest as determined by the projected achievement of each of the performance measures, which are estimated each reporting period and range from zero percent to 200 percent, with 100 percent being the target. As of June 30, 2022, we determined that all of the performance measures for the outstanding performance shares were probable of achievement, with the average of the achievement factors estimated to be between the target and maximum achievement percentages for the performance shares granted in 2020 and 2021 and at target for the performance shares granted in 2022.

Diluted EPS	$	1.32	$	0.46	$	2.07	$	0.08

____________

(1)Certain shares related to share-based compensation were excluded from the calculations of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method, including 1 million and less than 1 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and less than 1 million shares for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
