Hurricanes Irma and Maria

In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused damage and disruption at certain of our hotels in Florida and the Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico. We incurred $20 million of expenses and recognized a loss of $54 million for property and equipment that was damaged during the hurricanes during the year ended December 31, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred an additional $32 million of expenses, and based upon additional information, we recognized an additional loss of $22 million during the first quarter for property and equipment that was damaged during the hurricanes. These amounts were offset by the recognition of an additional insurance receivable of $54 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Our insurance coverage provides us with reimbursement for the replacement cost for the damage to these hotels, which includes certain clean-up and repair costs, exceeding the applicable deductibles, in addition to loss of business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received $108 million of insurance proceeds, of which $15 million relates to business interruption and $6 million relates to expense reimbursements. Business interruption proceeds are included within ancillary hotel revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2018, the insurance receivable, which is included within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, is $23 million.
