Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1. Organization, operations and basis of presentation

Background

Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. (“Playa” or the “Company”) is a leading owner, operator and developer of all-inclusive resorts in prime beachfront locations in popular vacation destinations. We own and/or manage a portfolio of 22 resorts located in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in our condensed consolidated financial statements (our “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) to “we,” “our,” “us” and similar expressions refer to Playa and its subsidiaries.

Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2022 (the “Annual Report”).

In our opinion, the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following disclosures are in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

Standards adopted

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope	The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.	January 2022	The adoption of ASU No. 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 in January 2022 had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as we have not modified our variable rate debt that is priced using a spread over one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Additionally, our interest rate swaps mature on March 31, 2023, prior to the anticipated discontinuation of the one-month LIBOR rate on June 30, 2023. We do not expect to modify our interest rate swap contracts prior to their maturity date.

(1) Non-package revenue within Other includes licensing, marketing and other support fees earned from The Playa Collection, which is a third-party owned and operated membership program. Our revenues from The Playa Collection were $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 other than trade and other receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our receivables are primarily the result of contracts with customers, which are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of amounts that will not be collected.

We record contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of guests staying at our resorts, which are presented as advance deposits (see Note 14) within trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our advanced deposits are generally recognized as revenue within one year.

(1) Includes the gross balance of our financing lease right-of-use assets, which was $6.3 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Depreciation expense was $19.3 million and $19.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $38.4 million and $40.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Sale of Capri Resort

On March 31, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our equity interest in the Capri Resort, which was reported within our Yucatán Peninsula reportable segment, for $55.0 million in cash consideration. Upon entering into the agreement, we classified the resort and related deferred tax liabilities as held for sale and recorded an impairment loss of $24.0 million based on the sale price.

On June 24, 2021, we completed the sale, received total cash consideration of $55.2 million, after customary closing costs, and recognized a loss of $0.5 million within loss on sale of assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We utilized 50% of the Capri Resort's net proceeds of $24.4 million, after deducting incremental expenses, to repay a portion of our Term Loan on June 29, 2021. Any remaining net proceeds, after deducting capital expenditures incurred across our portfolio for up to 18 months following the sale, are required to be used to repay our Term Loan and Term A3 Loan in December 2022.

Sale of Dreams Puerto Aventuras

On February 5, 2021, we completed the sale of the Dreams Puerto Aventuras. Upon closing, we received total cash consideration of $34.3 million, after customary closing costs. The net proceeds from the sale, after deducting incremental expenses and capital expenditures incurred across our portfolio for up to 24 months following the sale, will be used to repay our Term Loan and Term A3 Loan in February 2023.

Lessor contracts

We rent certain real estate to third parties for office and retail space within our resorts. Our lessor contracts are considered operating leases and generally have a contractual term of one to three years. The following table presents our rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 ($ in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
Leases	2022		2021		2022		2021
Operating lease income (1)	$	1,076	$	787	$	2,302	$	1,393

________

(1) Our operating lease income, which is recorded within non-package revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, includes variable lease revenue which is typically calculated as a percentage of our tenant's net sales.

Note 5. Income taxes

We file tax returns for our entities in key jurisdictions including Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, the United States, and the Netherlands. We are domiciled in the Netherlands and our Dutch subsidiaries are subject to a Dutch general tax rate of 25.8%. Our other operating subsidiaries are subject to tax rates up to 30% in the jurisdictions in which they are domiciled.

All of our outstanding Advanced Pricing Agreements (“APAs”) for our Dominican Republic entities expired as of December 31, 2021. We are currently in the process of renegotiating the terms of our APAs and expect that the terms will be finalized before the end of 2022. This is reflected in our estimated annual effective tax rate calculation.

We had no uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2022. We expect no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

Note 6. Related party transactions

Relationship with Hyatt and AMResorts

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”) is considered a related party due to its ownership of our ordinary shares by its affiliated entities. Hyatt also had representation on our Board of Directors until August 18, 2021. We pay Hyatt fees associated with the franchise agreements of our resorts operating under the all-ages Hyatt Ziva and adults-only Hyatt Zilara brands and receive reimbursements for guests that pay for their stay using the World of Hyatt® guest loyalty program.

In November 2021, Hyatt completed its acquisition of Apple Leisure Group (“ALG”), which owns the brand management platform AMResorts in addition to various tour operators and travel agencies. We pay AMResorts and its affiliates, as operators of two of our resorts, management and marketing fees, and sell all-inclusive packages through ALG’s tour operators and travel agencies.

Relationship with Sagicor

Sagicor Financial Corporation Limited and its affiliated entities (collectively “Sagicor”) is considered a related party due to its ownership of our ordinary shares and representation on our Board of Directors. We pay Sagicor for employee insurance coverage at one of our Jamaica properties. Sagicor is also a part owner of the Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa and compensates us as manager of the property.

Relationship with Davidson Kempner Capital Management L.P.

Davidson Kempner Capital Management L.P. (“DKCM”) is the investment manager of multiple affiliated funds and is considered a related party due to the DKCM funds’ ownership of our ordinary shares acquired in the public offering of our ordinary shares in January 2021. The affiliated funds managed by DKCM are also the lenders to our Property Loan and Additional Credit Facility, which consists of our Term A1, Term A2 and Term A3 loans (see Note 11). We pay DKCM periodic interest payments related to the outstanding debt.

Lease with our Chief Executive Officer

One of our offices is owned by our Chief Executive Officer and we sublease the space at that location from a third party.

(1)Equivalent amount included as reimbursed costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2)Included in direct expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with the exception of certain immaterial fees associated with the Hyatt franchise agreements, which are included in selling, general, and administrative expense.

(3)Included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(4)Includes interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts.

Note 7. Commitments and contingencies

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, and workers’ compensation and other employee claims. Most occurrences involving liability and claims of negligence are covered by insurance with solvent insurance carriers. We recognize a liability when we believe the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We currently believe that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Dutch corporate income tax act provides the option of a fiscal unity, which is a consolidated tax regime wherein the profits and losses of group companies can be offset against each other. With the exception of Playa Dominican Resort B.V., Playa Romana B.V., Playa Romana Mar B.V. and Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V., our Dutch companies file as a fiscal unity. Playa Resorts Holding B.V. is the head of our Dutch fiscal unity and is jointly and severally liable for the tax liabilities of the fiscal unity as a whole.

In 2015, the local taxing authorities in Mexico challenged $3.4 million of value added tax (“VAT”) receivable that was recognized in connection with the renovation of the Hyatt Ziva Cancún. During the second quarter of 2022, the tax authorities ruled in our favor resulting in receipt of the VAT and an additional $6.2 million for interest and inflation since the date the VAT refund was requested. The gain of $6.2 million is reported within other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Note 8. Ordinary shares

As of June 30, 2022, our ordinary share capital consisted of 166,029,851 ordinary shares outstanding, which have a par value of €0.10 per share. In addition, 3,642,748 restricted shares and performance share awards and 25,326 restricted share units were outstanding under the 2017 Plan (as defined in Note 9). The holders of restricted shares and performance share awards are entitled to vote, but not dispose of, such shares until they vest. The holders of restricted share units are neither entitled to vote nor dispose of such shares until they vest.

12

Note 9. Share-based compensation

We adopted our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) to attract and retain independent directors, executive officers and other key employees and service providers. As of June 30, 2022, there were 3,532,356 shares available for future grants under the 2017 Plan.

Restricted share awards consist of restricted shares and restricted share units that are granted to eligible employees, executives, and board members and consist of ordinary shares (or the right to receive ordinary shares).

A summary of our restricted share awards from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 is as follows:

	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2022	3,006,791	$	6.50
Granted	1,034,850	8.20
Vested	(1,575,150)	6.88
Forfeited	(127,540)	7.58
Unvested balance at June 30, 2022	2,338,951	$	6.94

Performance share awards consist of ordinary shares that may become earned and vested at the end of a three-year performance period based on the achievement of performance targets adopted by our Compensation Committee. Our performance shares have market conditions where 50% of the performance share awards will vest based on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of our ordinary shares relative to those of our peer group and 50% will vest based on the compound annual growth rate of the price of our ordinary shares. The peer shareholder return component may vest between 0% and 150% of target, with the award capped at 100% of target should Playa's TSR be negative. The growth rate component may vest up to 100% of target.

The table below summarizes the key inputs used in the Monte-Carlo simulation to determine the grant date fair value of our performance share awards ($ in thousands):

Performance Award Grant Date	Percentage of Total Award		Grant Date Fair Value by Component		Volatility (1)		Interest Rate (2)		Dividend Yield

Peer Shareholder Return	50	%	$	1,689	67.79	%	1.01	%	—	%
Growth Rate	50	%	$	1,346	67.79	%	1.01	%	—	%

________

(1) Expected volatility was determined based on our historical share prices.

(2) The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the remaining term of the measurement period.

A summary of our performance share awards from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 is as follows:

	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2022	1,027,519	$	5.18

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, unvested performance share awards of 1,027,519 shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, unvested performance share awards in the amounts of 187,500 and 1,027,519 shares, respectively were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The performance targets of our unvested performance share awards were partially achieved as of June 30, 2022 and 2021.

We had no anti-dilutive unvested restricted share awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, unvested restricted share awards of 3,244,688 were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

________

(1)Undrawn balances bear interest between 0.25% to 0.5% depending on certain leverage ratios. We had an available balance of $68.0 million and $85.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(2)One-month LIBOR is subject to a 1.0% floor. The effective interest rate was 4.42% and 3.75% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Our two interest rate swaps fix LIBOR at 2.85% on $800.0 million of our Term Loan (see Note 12).

(3)One-month LIBOR is subject to a 1.0% floor. The effective interest rate was 4.63% and 4.00% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

On May 20, 2022, we repaid $24.9 million of the outstanding balance on our Term Loan in addition to our quarterly principal payments as a result of the sale of the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark in May 2020. The repayment represented 100% of the net proceeds from the sale, after deducting incremental expenses and capital expenditures incurred across our portfolio for 24 months following the sale.

15

Financial maintenance covenants

We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2022. A summary of our applicable covenants and restrictions is as follows:

Debt	Covenant Terms
Senior Secured Credit Facility	We are subject to the following total net leverage ratio requirements if we have more than 35% drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility: ▪6.50x for the period ended March 31, 2022; ▪6.00x for the period ended June 30, 2022; and ▪4.75x for periods thereafter.
Term A1 Loan	Same terms as the Senior Secured Credit Facility
Term A2 Loan	No applicable debt covenants.
Term A3 Loan	No applicable debt covenants.
Property Loan	No applicable debt covenants other than the requirement to maintain a cash reserve until the Properties achieve a debt service coverage ratio of 1.50x for two consecutive quarters.

During the second quarter of 2022, our restricted cash balance related to our Property Loan was released into unrestricted cash as the Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana and Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa properties achieved the required debt service coverage ratio for two consecutive quarters. We had no restricted cash as of June 30, 2022.

Note 12. Derivative financial instruments

Our two interest rate swaps mitigate the interest rate risk inherent to our floating rate debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan. The interest rate swaps are not for trading purposes and have fixed notional values of $200.0 million and $600.0 million. The fixed rate paid by us is 2.85% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate, which results in us fixing LIBOR at 2.85% on $800.0 million of our Term Loan. The interest rate swaps mature on March 31, 2023.

Our interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, but were deemed ineffective due to the decrease in interest rates. All changes in fair value are recognized through interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following tables present the effect of our interest rate swaps, net of tax, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 ($ in thousands):

	2022		2021

AOCI from our cash flow hedges as of June 30 (1)	$	8,812	$	20,549

________

(1) As of June 30, 2022, the total amount expected to be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense during the remaining nine month term is $8.8 million, which represents prior losses recognized in AOCI when our interest rate swaps were deemed effective hedges.

Derivative Instruments for Ineffective Hedges	Financial Statement Classification	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Interest rate swaps (1)	Interest expense	$	(2,077)	$	3,591	$	(7,792)	$	6,402

________

(1) Includes the (gain) loss from the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps and the cash interest paid for the monthly settlements of the derivative.

The following tables present the effect of our interest rate swaps in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 ($ in thousands):

Derivative Assets for Ineffective Hedges	Financial Statement Classification	As of June 30,		As of December 31,

Derivative Liabilities for Ineffective Hedges	Financial Statement Classification	As of June 30,		As of December 31,
		2022		2021
Interest rate swaps	Derivative financial instruments	$	—	$	22,543

Derivative financial instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the interest rate swaps. We incorporate these counterparty credit risks in our fair value measurements (see Note 13) and believe we minimize this credit risk by transacting with major creditworthy financial institutions.

Note 13. Fair value of financial instruments

The objective of a fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework, which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

•Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and reflect our judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

We believe the carrying value of our financial instruments, excluding our debt, approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We did not have any Level 3 instruments during any of the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables present our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 ($ in thousands):

Financial Assets	June 30, 2022		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Property Loan	103,434		—		—		111,593
Total liabilities	$	1,133,261	$	—	$	—	$	1,130,644

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and our financial instruments not measured at fair value:

	Valuation Technique
Financial instruments recorded at fair value
Interest rate swaps	The fair value of the interest rate swaps is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the swaps, the contractual period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is largely dependent on forecasted LIBOR as of the measurement date. If, in subsequent periods, forecasted LIBOR exceeds 2.85% we will recognize a gain and future cash inflows. Conversely, if forecasted LIBOR falls below 2.85% in subsequent periods we will recognize a loss and future cash outflows.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value
Term Loans and Property Loan	The fair value of our Term Loans and Property Loan are estimated using cash flow projections over the remaining contractual period by applying market forward rates and discounting back at the appropriate discount rate.
Revolving Credit Facility	The valuation technique of our Revolving Credit Facility is consistent with our Term Loans. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility generally approximates its carrying value as the expected term is significantly shorter in duration.

Note 15. Business segments

We consider each one of our owned resorts to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. We also allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual resorts. Our operating segments meet the aggregation criteria and thus, we present four separate reportable segments by geography: (i) Yucatán Peninsula, (ii) Pacific Coast, (iii) Dominican Republic and (iv) Jamaica. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we have excluded the immaterial amounts of management fees, cost reimbursements and other from our segment reporting.

Our operating segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, all of whom represent our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Financial information for each reportable segment is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources.

The performance of our business is evaluated primarily on adjusted earnings before interest expense, income tax (provision) benefit, and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and the performance of our segments is evaluated on Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expenses and management fee income (“Owned Resort EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the periods presented, before interest expense, income tax (provision) benefit, and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted to exclude the following items: (a) impairment loss; (b) loss on sale of assets; (c) other income (expense); (d) share-based compensation; (e) other tax income (expense); (f) transaction expenses; and (g) severance expenses. Adjusted EBITDA includes corporate expenses, which are overhead costs that are essential to support the operation of the Company, including the operations and development of our resorts.

There are limitations to using financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA. For example, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named financial measures that other companies publish to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income or loss generated by our business or discretionary cash available for investment in our business and investors should carefully consider our U.S. GAAP results presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

The following discussion and analysis of Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V.'s (“Playa”) financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (our “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Playa and its subsidiaries.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “may,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to various factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements, including the risks described under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in our filings with the SEC. Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the adverse effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects, which include the airlines that service the locations where we own resorts, the short and longer-term demand for travel, the global economy and the local economies where we own resorts, and the financial markets. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced severely reduced occupancy levels at our resorts in 2020 and 2021 compared to historic levels, and the continued or worsening effects of the pandemic may again result in reduced occupancies. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact us and consumer behavior will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, continuing resurgences of the virus and its variants, the government actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, continuing effectiveness and uptake of vaccines (including boosters) and treatment therapies, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, including the magnitude of its impact on unemployment rates, labor-force availability, disruption in the supply chain for materials, and consumer discretionary spending, among others. The following factors, among others, could also cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

•general economic uncertainty and the effect of general economic conditions, including inflation, on the lodging industry in particular;

•the popularity of the all-inclusive resort model, particularly in the luxury segment of the resort market;

•changes in economic, social or political conditions in the regions we operate, including changes in perception of public-safety and changes in the supply of rooms from competing resorts;

•the success and continuation of our relationships with Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”), Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (“Hilton”), and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Wyndham”);

•the volatility of currency exchange rates;

•uncertainty regarding the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related impacts on inflation, supply chains and macroeconomic conditions;

•the success of our branding or rebranding initiatives with our current portfolio and resorts that may be acquired in the future;

•our failure to successfully complete acquisitions, expansions, repair and renovation projects in the timeframes and at the costs and returns anticipated;

•changes we may make in timing and scope of our development and renovation projects;

•significant increases in construction and development costs;

•significant increases in utilities, labor or other resort costs;

•our ability to obtain and maintain financing arrangements on attractive terms or at all;

25

•our ability to obtain and maintain ample liquidity to fund operations and service debt;

•the impact of and changes in governmental regulations or the enforcement thereof, tax laws and rates, accounting guidance and similar matters in regions in which we operate;

•the ability of our guests to reach our resorts given government mandated travel restrictions or airline service/capacity issues, as well as changes in demand for our resorts resulting from government mandated safety protocols and/or health concerns;

•the effectiveness of our internal controls and our corporate policies and procedures;

•changes in personnel and availability of qualified personnel;

•extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods and extreme heat waves, which may increase in frequency and severity as a result of climate change, and other natural disasters;

•outbreak of widespread contagious diseases other than COVID-19;

•dependence on third parties to provide Internet, telecommunications and network connectivity to our data centers;

•the volatility of the market price and liquidity of our ordinary shares and other of our securities; and

•the increasingly competitive environment in which we operate.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this quarterly report, except as required by applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements).

Overview

Playa is a leading owner, operator and developer of all-inclusive resorts in prime beachfront locations in popular vacation destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean. As of June 30, 2022, Playa owned and/or managed a total portfolio consisting of 22 resorts (8,366 rooms) located in Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic:

Total Revenue and Total Net Revenue

Our Total Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $92.5 million, or 71.8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Our Total Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $89.7 million, or 72.1%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to the following:

•an increase in demand as a result of increased vaccination levels, easing of government travel restrictions, and pent-up demand for leisure travel compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021;

•a 19.4% increase in Net Package ADR as a result of direct booking contributions, increasing management, incentives, conventions, and events (“MICE”) group guest mix, the ongoing leisure travel recovery, and pricing discipline to coincide with investments in guest satisfaction at our resorts;

•continued strength in Net Non-package Revenue spend per guest driven by improvements in our product offering across our resorts; and

•an incremental $4.66 favorable Net Package ADR impact compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the change in billing methodology of an online travel agency (“OTA”), which requires Playa to present this revenue gross of commissions under U.S. GAAP. Excluding this adjustment, Net Package ADR would have been $356.63.

Compared to the same period in 2019, for our current portfolio of resorts, which excludes the Dreams Puerto Aventuras, Capri Resort, Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark, Comparable Net Package ADR for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $92.69, or 34.5%. Excluding the aforementioned adjustment for the OTA billing methodology, the increase would have been $84.82, or 31.6%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $12.9 million, or 45.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The higher levels of occupancy from the ongoing recovery at our resorts during

31

the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in a $4.5 million increase in commissions expenses, a $1.9 million increase in advertising expenses, and a $1.6 million increase in credit card commissions. In addition, we had a $2.0 million increase in corporate personnel costs and a $0.9 million increase in professional fees. The increase in commissions expenses includes an additional $2.8 million that was a result of a change in billing methodology of an OTA, which requires Playa to present the commissions on a gross basis under U.S. GAAP.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Our depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $0.4 million, or 1.9%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to fully depreciated assets which did not recognize depreciation expense in the current period.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $6.1 million, or 32.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense was driven primarily by a $4.3 million benefit over the period related to the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps, which was driven by the increase in forecasted interest rates.

Cash interest paid was $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, representing a $1.2 million, or 5.8% decrease as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in cash interest paid was primarily driven by a $1.9 million reduction in the interest paid on our Senior Secured Credit Facility due to the effect of our interest rate swaps, as interest rates moved closer to our 1.0% LIBOR floor during the three months ended June 30, 2022. This was partially offset by an $0.8 million increase in cash interest paid on our Property Loan due to the timing of interest payments during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Income Tax Provision

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, our income tax provision was $1.3 million, compared to a $12.5 million income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in our income tax provision of $13.8 million was primarily driven by:

•a $9.1 million increased tax provision due to higher pre-tax book income from our taxpaying entities;

•a $4.3 million decreased tax benefit related to the sale of the Capri Resort in 2021; and

•a $1.0 million increased tax provision associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily for our Mexican entities.

These increases were partially offset by:

•a $0.9 million decreased tax provision related to valuation allowances recognized for our Jamaica and Mexico entities.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $25.5 million, or 47.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The higher levels of occupancy from the ongoing recovery at our resorts during the

36

six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in a $4.1 million increase in advertising expenses, a $10.3 million increase in commissions expenses, and a $3.6 million increase in credit card commissions. In addition, we had a $1.4 million increase in insurance expenses driven by higher premiums for the current year, a $4.4 million increase in corporate personnel costs, and a $1.4 million increase in professional fees. The increase in commissions expense includes an additional $6.1 million that was a result of a change in billing methodology of an OTA, which requires Playa to present the commissions on a gross basis under U.S. GAAP.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Our depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $1.8 million, or 4.3%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, which was primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease from the sale of the Capri Resort in June 2021.

Impairment Loss

Our impairment loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $24.0 million, or 100.0%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by $24.0 million of property and equipment impairment recognized upon classification of the Capri Resort as held for sale in March 2021, as the carrying value exceeded the sale price of the assets under the sales agreement. We had no impairment loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $15.1 million, or 40.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense was driven primarily by a $12.8 million benefit over the period related to the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps, which was driven by the increase in forecasted interest rates.

Cash interest paid was $37.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing a $1.7 million, or 4.5% decrease as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in cash interest paid was primarily driven by a $2.2 million reduction in the interest paid on our Senior Secured Credit Facility due to the effect of our interest rate swaps, as interest rates moved closer to our 1.0% LIBOR floor during the six months ended June 30, 2022. This was partially offset by an $0.8 million increase in cash interest paid on our Property Loan due to the timing of interest payments during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Income Tax Provision

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our income tax provision was $2.9 million, compared to a $14.4 million income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in our income tax provision of $17.3 million was mainly driven by:

•a $13.5 million increased tax provision due to higher pre-tax book income from our taxpaying entities;

•a $5.5 million decreased tax benefit related to the sale of the Dreams Puerto Aventuras and Capri Resort in 2021; and

•a $2.3 million increased tax provision associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily for our Mexican entities.

These increases were partially offset by:

•a $3.7 million decreased tax provision related to valuation allowances recognized for our Jamaica and Mexico entities.

Key Indicators of Financial and Operating Performance

We use a variety of financial and other information to monitor the financial and operating performance of our business. Some of this is financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, while other information, though financial in nature, is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, see “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures.” Our management also uses other information that is not financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data that are commonly used within the lodging industry to evaluate the financial and operating performance of our portfolio. Our management uses this information to measure the performance of our segments and consolidated portfolio. We use this information for planning and monitoring our business, as well as in determining management and employee compensation. These key indicators include:

•Net Package Revenue

•Net Non-package Revenue

•Owned Net Revenue

37

•Management Fee Revenue

•Total Net Revenue

•Occupancy

•Net Package ADR

•Net Package RevPAR

•Net Direct Expenses

•EBITDA

•Adjusted EBITDA

•Adjusted EBITDA Margin

•Owned Resort EBITDA

•Owned Resort EBITDA Margin

•Comparable Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue, Owned Net Revenue, Management Fee Revenue, Cost Reimbursements, Total Net Revenue and Net Direct Expenses

“Net Package Revenue” is derived from the sale of all-inclusive packages, which include room accommodations, food and beverage services and entertainment activities, net of compulsory tips paid to employees. Government mandated compulsory tips in the Dominican Republic are not included in this adjustment, as they are already excluded from revenue. Revenue is recognized, net of discounts and rebates, when the rooms are occupied and/or the relevant services have been rendered. Advance deposits received from guests are deferred and included in trade and other payables until the rooms are occupied and/or the relevant services have been rendered, at which point the revenue is recognized.

“Net Non-package Revenue” represents all other revenues earned from the operations of our resorts, other than Net Package Revenue, net of compulsory tips paid to employees. Government mandated compulsory tips in the Dominican Republic are not included in this adjustment, as they are already excluded from revenue. Net Non-package Revenue includes revenue associated with guests' purchases of upgrades, premium services and amenities, such as premium rooms, dining experiences, wines and spirits and spa packages, which are not included in the all-inclusive package. Revenue not included in a guest’s all-inclusive package is recognized when the goods are consumed.

“Owned Net Revenue” represents Net Package Revenue and Net Non-package Revenue. Owned Net Revenue represents a key indicator to assess the overall performance of our business and analyze trends, such as consumer demand, brand preference and competition. In analyzing our Owned Net Revenues, our management differentiates between Net Package Revenue and Net Non-package Revenue. Guests at our resorts purchase packages at stated rates, which include room accommodations, food and beverage services and entertainment activities, in contrast to other lodging business models, which typically only include the room accommodations in the stated rate. The amenities at all-inclusive resorts typically include a variety of buffet and á la carte restaurants, bars, activities, and shows and entertainment throughout the day.

“Management Fee Revenue” is derived from fees earned for managing resorts owned by third-parties. The fees earned are typically composed of a base fee, which is computed as a percentage of revenue, and an incentive fee, which is computed as a percentage of profitability. Management Fee Revenue had a minor contribution to our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, but we expect Management Fee Revenue to be a more relevant indicator to assess the overall performance of our business in the future as we enter into more management contracts.

“Total Net Revenue” represents Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue and Management Fee Revenue. “Cost Reimbursements” is excluded from Total Net Revenue as it is not considered a key indicator of financial and operating performance. Cost Reimbursements is derived from the reimbursement of certain costs incurred by Playa on behalf of resorts managed by Playa and owned by third parties. This revenue is fully offset by reimbursable costs and has no net impact on operating income (loss) or net income (loss).

“Net Direct Expenses” represents direct expenses, net of compulsory tips paid to employees.

38

Occupancy

“Occupancy” represents the total number of rooms sold for a period divided by the total number of rooms available during such period. The total number of rooms available excludes any rooms considered “Out of Order” due to renovation or a temporary problem rendering them inadequate for occupancy for an extended period of time. Occupancy is a useful measure of the utilization of a resort’s total available capacity and can be used to gauge demand at a specific resort or group of properties during a given period. Occupancy levels also enable us to optimize Net Package ADR by increasing or decreasing the stated rate for our all-inclusive packages as demand for a resort increases or decreases.

Net Package ADR

“Net Package ADR” represents total Net Package Revenue for a period divided by the total number of rooms sold during such period. Net Package ADR trends and patterns provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the guest base of our portfolio or comparable portfolio, as applicable. Net Package ADR is a commonly used performance measure in the all-inclusive segment of the lodging industry and is commonly used to assess the stated rates that guests are willing to pay through various distribution channels.

Net Package RevPAR

“Net Package RevPAR” is the product of Net Package ADR and the average daily occupancy percentage. Net Package RevPAR does not reflect the impact of non-package revenue. Although Net Package RevPAR does not include this additional revenue, it generally is considered the key performance measure in the all-inclusive segment of the lodging industry to identify trend information with respect to net room revenue produced by our portfolio or comparable portfolio, as applicable, and to evaluate operating performance on a consolidated basis or a regional basis, as applicable.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Owned Resort EBITDA, and Owned Resort EBITDA Margin

We define EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the period presented, before interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) include corporate expenses, which are overhead costs that are essential to support the operation of the Company, including the operations and development of our resorts. We define Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude the following items:

•Other income or expense

•Pre-opening expense

•Transaction expenses

•Severance expense

•Other tax expense

•Gain on property damage insurance proceeds

•Share-based compensation

•Loss on extinguishment of debt

•Other items, which may include but are not limited to the following: contract termination fees; gains or losses from legal settlements; repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms and impairment losses.

We include the non-service cost components of net periodic pension cost or benefit recorded within other income or expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in calculating Adjusted EBITDA as they are considered part of our ongoing resort operations.

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Net Revenue.

“Owned Resort EBITDA” represents Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expenses and Management Fee Revenue.

“Owned Resort EBITDA Margin” represents Owned Resort EBITDA as a percentage of Owned Net Revenue.

Usefulness and Limitation of Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

We believe that each of Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue, Owned Net Revenue, Total Net Revenue, Net Package ADR, Net Package RevPAR and Net Direct Expenses are useful to investors as they reflect our operating results by excluding compulsory tips. These tips have a margin of zero and do not represent our operating results.

We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors for two principal reasons. First, we believe Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. For example, changes in foreign exchange rates (which are the principal driver of changes in other income or expense), and expenses related to capital raising, strategic initiatives and other corporate initiatives, such as expansion into new markets (which are the principal drivers of changes in transaction expenses), are not indicative of the operating performance of our resorts. The other adjustments included in our definition of Adjusted EBITDA relate to items that occur infrequently and therefore would obstruct the comparability of our operating results over reporting periods. For example, revenue from insurance policies, other than business interruption insurance policies, is infrequent in nature, and we believe excluding these expense and revenue items permits investors to better evaluate the core operating performance of our resorts over time. We believe Adjusted EBITDA Margin provides our investors a useful measurement of operating profitability for the same reasons we find Adjusted EBITDA useful.

The second principal reason that we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors is that it is considered a key performance indicator by our board of directors (our “Board”) and management. In addition, the compensation committee of our Board determines a portion of the annual variable compensation for certain members of our management based, in part, on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides investors with information utilized by our Board and management to assess our performance and may (subject to the limitations described below) enable investors to compare the performance of our portfolio to our competitors.

We believe that Owned Resort EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA Margin are useful to investors as they allow investors to measure resort-level performance and profitability by excluding expenses not directly tied to our resorts, such as corporate expenses, and excluding ancillary revenues not derived from our resorts, such as management fee revenue. We believe Owned Resort EBITDA is also helpful to investors that use it in estimating the value of our resort portfolio. Management uses these measures to monitor property-level performance and profitability.

Our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for revenue, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are limitations to the utility of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA. For example, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that other companies publish to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a measure of the income or loss generated by our business or discretionary cash available for investment in our business, and investors should carefully consider our U.S. GAAP results presented.

For a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA to net income or loss as computed under U.S. GAAP, see “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures.”

Comparable Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Owned Resort EBITDA, Total Net Revenue, Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue and Net Direct Expenses on a comparable basis is useful to investors because these measures include only the results of resorts owned and in operation for the entirety of the periods presented and thereby eliminate disparities in results due to the acquisition or disposition of resorts or the impact of resort closures or re-openings in connection with redevelopment or renovation projects. As a result, we believe these measures provide more consistent metrics for comparing the performance of our operating resorts. We calculate comparable Adjusted EBITDA, comparable Owned Resort EBITDA, comparable Total Net Revenue, comparable Net Package Revenue and comparable Net Non-package Revenue as the total amount of each respective measure less amounts attributable to non-comparable resorts, by which we mean resorts that were not owned or in operation during some or all of the relevant reporting period.

Our comparable resorts for the three months ended June 30, 2022 exclude Capri Resort, which was sold in June 2021.

Our comparable resorts for the six months ended June 30, 2022 exclude the Dreams Puerto Aventuras, which was sold in February 2021 and Capri Resort, which was sold in June 2021.

Segment Comparable Owned Net Revenue. Our Comparable Owned Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $25.0 million, or 55.4%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to the following:

•Occupancy rate increasing 16.3 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, driven by an increase in demand from Canadian, European and South American sourced guests and higher MICE group business;

•a 24.4% increase in Comparable Net Package ADR as a result of direct booking contributions, increasing MICE group guest mix, the ongoing leisure travel recovery, and pricing discipline to coincide with investments in guest satisfaction at our resorts;

•continued strength in Net Non-package Revenue driven by improvements in our product offering across our resorts; and

•an incremental $11.92 favorable Net Package ADR impact compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the change in billing methodology of an OTA, which requires Playa to present this revenue gross of commissions under U.S. GAAP. Excluding this adjustment, Net Package ADR would have been $396.74.

Compared to the same period in 2019, for our current portfolio of resorts in the Yucatán, which excludes the Dreams Puerto Aventuras and Capri Resort, Comparable Net Package ADR for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $129.62, or 46.5%. Excluding the aforementioned adjustment for the OTA billing methodology, the increase would have been $110.77, or 39.7%.

Segment Comparable Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Comparable Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $12.2 million, or 88.7%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was a result of the on-going

43

revenue recovery, particularly the strong Comparable Net Package ADR increases and cost control practices which partially offset occupancy-related increases in resort operating expenses compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Compared to the same period in 2019, for our current portfolio of resorts in the Yucatán, which excludes the Dreams Puerto Aventuras and Capri Resort, Comparable Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $7.6 million, or 41.7%.

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $13.0 million, or 63.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to the following:

•Occupancy rate increasing 15.6 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, driven by an increase in MICE group room nights, which recovered back to our second quarter 2019 MICE group room night mix;

•a 34.2% increase in Net Package ADR as a result of direct booking contributions, increasing MICE group guest mix, the ongoing leisure travel recovery, and pricing discipline to coincide with investments in guest satisfaction at our resorts;

•continued strength in Net Non-package Revenue driven by improvements in our product offering across our resorts; and

•an incremental $11.54 favorable Net Package ADR impact compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the change in billing methodology of an OTA, which requires Playa to present this revenue gross of commissions under U.S. GAAP. Excluding this adjustment, Net Package ADR would have been $443.73.

Compared to the same period in 2019, Net Package ADR for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $159.79, or 54.1%. Excluding the aforementioned adjustment for the OTA billing methodology, the increase would have been $142.41, or 48.2%.

Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $6.8 million, or 96.5%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was a result of the on-going revenue recovery, particularly the strong Net Package ADR increases and cost control practices which partially offset occupancy-related increases in resort operating expenses compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Compared to the same period in 2019, Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $5.3 million, or 62.3%.

Owned Resort EBITDA Margin	32.0		%	23.4		%	8.6		pts	36.8	%

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $31.0 million, or 91.4%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to the following:

•Occupancy rate increasing 29.5 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, driven by an increase in demand from European and Canadian sourced guests and MICE groups;

•a 13.3% increase in Net Package ADR as a result of direct booking contributions, increasing MICE group guest mix, the ongoing leisure travel recovery, and pricing discipline to coincide with investments in guest satisfaction at our resorts, partially offset by our externally managed properties, whose rates remain significantly depressed versus our Playa-managed properties; and

•continued sequential improvement in Net Non-package Revenue driven by improvements in our product offering across our resorts.

Compared to the same period in 2019, Net Package ADR for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $109.52, or 60.1%. This increase was driven by the opening of the premium-positioned Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana resorts in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the renovation of the Hilton La Romana All-Inclusive Resort in 2019.

Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $12.8 million, or 161.8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was a result of the on-going revenue recovery, particularly the strong Net Package ADR increases and cost control practices which partially offset occupancy-related increases in resort operating expenses compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Compared to the same period in 2019, Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $15.7 million, or 311.4%. Owned Resort EBITDA of our Playa-managed properties in this segment increased $18.3 million, or 2577.1%, driven by the opening of the premium-positioned Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana resorts in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the renovation of the Hilton La Romana All-Inclusive Resort in 2019.

The segment's performance was weighed down by our two externally managed properties, which have lagged behind our globally branded resorts in the segment with respect to package rate gains and, as a result, are yielding significantly lower margins. Owned Resort EBITDA of our externally managed properties decreased $2.6 million, or 44.4%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $19.6 million, or 81.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to the following:

•Occupancy rate increasing 27.3 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, driven by an increase in demand from Canadian, European and South American sourced guests and MICE groups, and local governments easing COVID-19 related restrictions during the second quarter of 2022;

•a 17.3% increase in Net Package ADR as a result of direct booking contributions, increasing MICE group guest mix, the ongoing leisure travel recovery, and pricing discipline to coincide with investments in guest satisfaction at our resorts; and

•continued strength in Net Non-package Revenue driven by improvements in our product offering across our resorts.

Compared to the same period in 2019, for our current portfolio in Jamaica, which excludes the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark, Comparable Net Package ADR for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $38.35, or 12.0%.

Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $8.1 million, or 198.2%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Segment Comparable Owned Net Revenue. Our Comparable Owned Net Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $61.1 million, or 78.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to the following:

•Occupancy rate increasing 20.1 percentage points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, driven by an increase in demand from Canadian, European and South American sourced guests and higher MICE group business;

•a 33.2% increase in Comparable Net Package ADR as a result of direct booking contributions, increasing MICE group guest mix, the ongoing leisure travel recovery, and pricing discipline to coincide with investments in guest satisfaction at our resorts;

•continued strength in Net Non-package Revenue driven by improvements in our product offering across our resorts; and

•an incremental $14.61 favorable Net Package ADR impact compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the change in billing methodology of an OTA, which requires Playa to present this revenue gross of commissions under U.S. GAAP. Excluding this adjustment, Comparable Net Package ADR would have been $404.17.

Compared to the same period in 2019, for our current portfolio of resorts in the Yucatán, which excludes the Dreams Puerto Aventuras and Capri Resort, Comparable Net Package ADR for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $118.18, or 39.3%. Excluding the aforementioned adjustment for the OTA billing methodology, the increase would have been $99.74, or 33.2%.

Segment Comparable Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Comparable Owned Resort EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $33.8 million, or 157.0%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was a result of the on-going revenue recovery, particularly the strong Comparable Net Package ADR increases and cost control practices which partially offset occupancy-related increases in resort operating expenses compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $33.5 million, or 114.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to the following:

•a 37.7% increase in Net Package ADR as a result of direct booking contributions, increasing MICE group guest mix, the ongoing leisure travel recovery, and pricing discipline to coincide with investments in guest satisfaction at our resorts;

•continued strength in Net Non-package Revenue driven by improvements in our product offering across our resorts; and

•an incremental $12.30 favorable Net Package ADR impact compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the change in billing methodology of an OTA, which requires Playa to present this revenue gross of commissions under U.S. GAAP. Excluding this adjustment, Net Package ADR would have been $442.66.

Compared to the same period in 2019, Net Package ADR for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $133.58, or 41.6%. Excluding the aforementioned adjustment for the OTA billing methodology, the increase would have been $117.30, or 36.5%.

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $79.8 million, or 145.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to the following:

•Occupancy rate increasing 40.4 percentage points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, driven by an increase in demand from European and Canadian sourced guests and MICE groups;

•a 15.6% increase in Net Package ADR as a result of direct booking contributions, increasing MICE group guest mix, the ongoing leisure travel recovery, and pricing discipline to coincide with investments in guest satisfaction at our resorts, partially offset by our externally managed properties, whose rates remain significantly depressed versus our Playa-managed properties; and

•continued strength in Net Non-package Revenue driven by improvements in our product offering across our resorts.

Compared to the same period in 2019, Net Package ADR for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $97.69, or 46.4%. This increase was driven by the opening of the premium-positioned Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana resorts in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the renovation of the Hilton La Romana All-Inclusive Resort in 2019.

Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $39.5 million, or 412.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Compared to the same period in 2019, Owned Resort EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $30.6 million, or 165.4%. Owned Resort EBITDA of our Playa-managed properties in this segment increased $38.2 million, or 1511.2%, driven by the opening of the premium-positioned Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana resorts in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the renovation of the Hilton La Romana All-Inclusive Resort in 2019.

The segment's performance was weighed down by our two externally managed properties, which have lagged behind our globally branded resorts in the segment with respect to package rate gains and, as a result, are yielding significantly lower margins. Owned Resort EBITDA of our externally managed properties decreased $7.6 million, or 47.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $52.2 million, or 145.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to the following:

•Occupancy rate increasing 34.2 percentage points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, driven by an increase in demand from Canadian, European and South American sourced guests and MICE groups, and local governments easing COVID-19 related restrictions during the second quarter of 2022. The recovery in Jamaica continued to improve but remained depressed as this segment suffered the greatest impact from the Omicron variant with disrupted bookings in January as a result of more stringent COVID-19 related travel restrictions;

•a 29.9% increase in Net Package ADR as a result of direct booking contributions, increasing MICE group guest mix, the ongoing leisure travel recovery, and pricing discipline to coincide with investments in guest satisfaction at our resorts; and

•continued strength in Net Non-package Revenue driven by improvements in our product offering across our resorts.

Compared to the same period in 2019, for our current portfolio in Jamaica, which excludes the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark, Comparable Owned Resort EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $2.6 million, or 8.1%.

Seasonality

The seasonality of the lodging industry and the location of our resorts in Mexico, Jamaica and Dominican Republic have historically resulted in the greatest demand for our resorts occurring between mid-December and April of each year, yielding higher occupancy levels and package rates during this period. This seasonality in demand has resulted in predictable fluctuations in revenue, results of operations, and liquidity, which are consistently higher during the first quarter of each year than in successive quarters.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic altered this seasonal trend in 2021 and Net Package ADR was progressively stronger during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2021 than it was in the first quarter of 2021. We have seen a return to pre-COVID-19 seasonality trends thus far in 2022.

Inflation

During the first half of 2022 we experienced above-average inflationary pressure on our direct resort expenses, which was higher than our typical expense inflation range experienced in the pre-pandemic environment. Inflation primarily affected our labor costs,

52

food and beverage prices, and utility costs. We expect the elevated inflation will likely continue through the remainder of 2022, but we do not anticipate that expense inflation will be significantly worse than the first half of the year. While we, like most operators of lodging properties, have the ability to adjust room rates to reflect the effects of inflation, competitive pricing pressures and the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may limit our ability to raise room rates to fully offset inflationary cost increases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $97.3 million, representing a significant increase over the six months ended June 30, 2021 as our business continues to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that our sources of cash, which consist of available cash and cash from operations, together with the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility and our access to the capital markets, will be adequate to meet our cash requirements, including our contractual obligations, over the next twelve months and beyond.

Sources of Cash

As of June 30, 2022, we had $348.8 million of available cash, up from $270.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase in available cash was primarily due to improved cash flow from operations across our portfolio due to the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. We also benefited from increased vaccination levels, easing of government travel restrictions, and pent-up customer demand for leisure travel, as well as our strategic decision to focus on pricing discipline to coincide with investments in guest satisfaction at our resorts.

Our primary short-term cash needs are paying operating expenses, maintaining our resorts, and servicing our outstanding indebtedness. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through our existing cash balances, net cash provided by operations, equity issuances or short-term borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Further, our restricted cash balance related to our Property Loan of $23.5 million as of December 31, 2021 was released into unrestricted cash during the second quarter of 2022 due to the strong operating performance of the Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana and Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa properties. As of July 31, 2022, we had approximately $359.0 million of available cash and also had $68.0 million available on our Revolving Credit Facility, which does not mature until January 2024.

We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements generally through the sources of cash available for short-term needs, net cash provided by operations, as well as equity or debt issuances or proceeds from the potential disposal of assets.

Cash Requirements

Our expected material cash requirements for the remainder of 2022 and thereafter consist of (i) contractually obligated expenditures, including payments of principal and interest; (ii) other essential expenditures, including operating expenses and maintenance of our resorts; and (iii) opportunistic expenditures, including possible property developments, expansions, renovations, repositioning and rebranding projects, potential acquisitions, the repayment of indebtedness and discretionary repurchases of our securities.

As of June 30, 2022, there have been no significant changes to our “Contractual Obligations” table in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report, other than the change in mandatory Term Loan repayments as a result of the sales of our resorts in 2021 and 2020. As of June 30, 2022, we do not expect to make any additional repayments on our outstanding Term Loan during the remainder of 2022 related to the sale of the Capri Resort in June 2021, as the remaining net proceeds after deducting incremental expenses and capital expenditures are expected to be $0 million. We expect to repay $21.6 million of our outstanding Term Loan in February 2023 resulting from the sale of the Dreams Puerto Aventuras in February 2021. As of June 30, 2022, we had $41.0 million of scheduled contractual obligations remaining in 2022.

We are continuing to monitor our liquidity and we may pursue additional sources of liquidity as needed. The availability of additional liquidity options will depend on the economic and financial environment, our credit, our historical and projected financial and operating performance and continued compliance with financial covenants. If operating conditions do not continue to improve, whether as a result of the current pandemic or a resurgence thereof or for other reasons, such as inflation or global economic impacts related to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, we may not be able to maintain our current liquidity position or access additional sources of liquidity at acceptable terms or at all.

Financing Strategy

We intend to use other financing sources that may be available to us from time to time, including financing from banks, institutional investors or other lenders, such as bridge loans, letters of credit, joint ventures and other arrangements. Future financings

53

may be unsecured or may be secured by mortgages or other interests in our assets. In addition, we may issue publicly or privately placed debt or equity securities. When possible and desirable, we will seek to replace short-term financing with long-term financing. We may use the proceeds from any financings to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance resort projects or acquisitions or for general working capital or other purposes.

Our indebtedness may be recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized and may be fixed rate or variable rate. If the indebtedness is non-recourse, the obligation to repay such indebtedness will generally be limited to the particular resort or resorts pledged to secure such indebtedness. In addition, we may invest in resorts subject to existing loans secured by mortgages or similar liens on the resorts or may refinance resorts acquired on a leveraged basis.

Recent Transactions Affecting Our Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our net cash provided by or used in operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the periods indicated and should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and accompanying notes thereto ($ in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	97,301	$	(13,578)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	$	(11,970)	$	80,560
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(30,111)	$	23,520
Increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	55,220	$	90,502

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our net cash from operating activities is generated primarily from operating income of our resorts. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net cash provided by operating activities was $97.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our net cash used in operating activities was $13.6 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net cash used in investing activities was $12.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our net cash provided by investing activities was $80.6 million.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

•Purchases of property and equipment of $11.9 million, primarily for maintenance related expenditures.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

•Net proceeds from the sale of assets, primarily consisting of the Dreams Puerto Aventuras and Capri Resort, of $89.1 million; and

•Purchases of property and equipment of $8.4 million.

Capital Expenditures

We maintain each of our properties in good repair and condition and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations, franchise and license agreements and management agreements. Capital expenditures made to extend the service life or increase the capacity of our assets, including expenditures for the replacement, improvement or expansion of existing capital assets (i.e., maintenance capital expenditures), differ from ongoing repair and maintenance expense items, which do not in our judgment extend the service life or increase the capacity of assets and are charged to expense as incurred. We have approval rights over capital expenditures made by our third-party manager as part of the annual budget process for each property they manage. From time to time, certain of our resorts may be undergoing renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the resorts, such as guestrooms, public space, meeting space, gyms, spas and/or restaurants, in order to better compete with other resorts in our markets.

54

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Our net cash used in financing activities was $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $23.5 million of cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

•Principal payments on our Term Loan of $29.9 million, which includes a $24.9 million mandatory repayment as a result of the sale of the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark in May 2020 as well as our quarterly principal payments.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

•Net proceeds from our January 2021 equity issuance of $137.7 million;

•Principal payments on our Term Loan of $29.4 million, which includes a $24.4 million mandatory repayment as a result of the sale of Capri Resort in June 2021 as well as our quarterly principal payments;

•Repayments on our Revolving Credit Facility of $84.7 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. A number of our significant accounting policies are critical due to the fact that they involve higher degree of judgement and estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We believe our estimates, assumptions and judgments with respect to our such policies are reasonable based upon information presently available. However, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions, which could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our Consolidated Financial Statements included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them except for those disclosed in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts receivable from related parties, certain prepayments and other assets, trade and other payables, payables to related parties, derivative financial instruments, other liabilities including our pension obligation and debt (excluding the financing lease obligation). See Note 13, “Fair value of financial instruments,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Related Party Transactions

See Note 6, “Related party transactions,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on these transactions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See the recent accounting pronouncements in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

In the normal course of operations, we are exposed to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk which may impact future income and cash flows.

55

Interest Rate Risk

The risk from market interest rate fluctuations mainly affects long-term debt bearing interest at a variable interest rate. We currently use an interest rate swap (see Note 12 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) to manage exposure to this risk. As of June 30, 2022, 12% of our outstanding indebtedness bore interest at floating rates and 88% bore interest at fixed rates.

•If market rates of interest on our floating rate debt were to increase by 1.0%, the increase in interest expense on our floating rate debt would decrease our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.8 million annually, assuming the balance outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility remained at $0 million.

•If market rates of interest on our floating rate debt were to decrease by 1.0%, the decrease in interest expense on our floating rate debt would increase our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.8 million annually, assuming the balance outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility remained at $0 million and the current LIBOR rate on our floating rate debt could not fall below the existing 1.0% LIBOR floor.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations because all of our resort investments are based in locations where the local currency is not the U.S. dollar, which is our reporting currency. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 approximately 2.4% of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, our revenues reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are affected by movements in exchange rates.

Approximately 75.9% of our resort-level operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were denominated in the local currencies in the countries in which we operate. As a result, our operating expenses reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are affected by movements in exchange rates. The foreign currencies in which our expenses are primarily denominated are the Mexican Peso, Dominican Peso and the Jamaican Dollar.

•The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Mexican Peso-denominated expenses at June 30, 2022 would have impacted our Owned Resort EBITDA by approximately $4.5 million on a year-to-date basis.

•The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Dominican Peso-denominated expenses at June 30, 2022 would have impacted our Owned Resort EBITDA by approximately $3.5 million on a year-to-date basis.

•The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Jamaican Dollar-denominated expenses at June 30, 2022 would have impacted our Owned Resort EBITDA by approximately $2.5 million on a year-to-date basis.

At this time, we do not have any outstanding derivatives or other financial instruments designed to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

56

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to claims and administrative proceedings, none of which we believe are material or would be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. The outcome of claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings brought against us, however, is subject to significant uncertainties. Refer to Note 7 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q for a more detailed description of such proceedings and contingencies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We are supplementing the risk factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 with the additional risk factor set forth below, which supplements, and to the extent inconsistent, supersedes such risk factors.

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has and may continue to negatively impact macro-economic conditions which could affect consumer spending adversely and as a result, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine has not had a direct or material impact on the Company. However, the conflict has negatively impacted global macro-economic conditions and a prolonged conflict, the potential expansion of the conflict into other European countries, or the involvement of the United States or other countries where we source our guests could have more significant impacts on macro-economic conditions which could adversely affect consumer spending and consequently, our operations. Further, the rising price of utilities, including increases in fuel prices, have and may continue to raise the overall vacation cost to our guests and may adversely affect demand for our vacation packages.

Additional risks to our business relating to the Russia and Ukraine conflict include potential interruptions in global supply chains and the availability of items essential to our resort operations, the heightened possibility of cyberattacks, and the potential for travel restrictions affecting our guests' ability to access our resort destinations.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3.    Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4.    Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5.    Other Information.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization, operations and basis of presentation

Organization, operations and basis of presentation

Background

Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. (“Playa” or the “Company”) is a leading owner, operator and developer of all-inclusive resorts in prime beachfront locations in popular vacation destinations. We own and/or manage a portfolio of 22 resorts located in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in our condensed consolidated financial statements (our “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) to “we,” “our,” “us” and similar expressions refer to Playa and its subsidiaries.

Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2022 (the “Annual Report”).

In our opinion, the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following disclosures are in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope	The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.	January 2022	The adoption of ASU No. 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 in January 2022 had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as we have not modified our variable rate debt that is priced using a spread over one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Additionally, our interest rate swaps mature on March 31, 2023, prior to the anticipated discontinuation of the one-month LIBOR rate on June 30, 2023. We do not expect to modify our interest rate swap contracts prior to their maturity date.

(1) Non-package revenue within Other includes licensing, marketing and other support fees earned from The Playa Collection, which is a third-party owned and operated membership program. Our revenues from The Playa Collection were $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 other than trade and other receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our receivables are primarily the result of contracts with customers, which are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of amounts that will not be collected.

We record contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of guests staying at our resorts, which are presented as advance deposits (see Note 14) within trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our advanced deposits are generally recognized as revenue within one year.

Sale of Capri Resort

On March 31, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our equity interest in the Capri Resort, which was reported within our Yucatán Peninsula reportable segment, for $55.0 million in cash consideration. Upon entering into the agreement, we classified the resort and related deferred tax liabilities as held for sale and recorded an impairment loss of $24.0 million based on the sale price.

On June 24, 2021, we completed the sale, received total cash consideration of $55.2 million, after customary closing costs, and recognized a loss of $0.5 million within loss on sale of assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We utilized 50% of the Capri Resort's net proceeds of $24.4 million, after deducting incremental expenses, to repay a portion of our Term Loan on June 29, 2021. Any remaining net proceeds, after deducting capital expenditures incurred across our portfolio for up to 18 months following the sale, are required to be used to repay our Term Loan and Term A3 Loan in December 2022.

Sale of Dreams Puerto Aventuras

On February 5, 2021, we completed the sale of the Dreams Puerto Aventuras. Upon closing, we received total cash consideration of $34.3 million, after customary closing costs.

Commitments and contingencies

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, and workers’ compensation and other employee claims. Most occurrences involving liability and claims of negligence are covered by insurance with solvent insurance carriers. We recognize a liability when we believe the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We currently believe that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Dutch corporate income tax act provides the option of a fiscal unity, which is a consolidated tax regime wherein the profits and losses of group companies can be offset against each other. With the exception of Playa Dominican Resort B.V., Playa Romana B.V., Playa Romana Mar B.V. and Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V., our Dutch companies file as a fiscal unity. Playa Resorts Holding B.V. is the head of our Dutch fiscal unity and is jointly and severally liable for the tax liabilities of the fiscal unity as a whole.

In 2015, the local taxing authorities in Mexico challenged $3.4 million of value added tax (“VAT”) receivable that was recognized in connection with the renovation of the Hyatt Ziva Cancún. During the second quarter of 2022, the tax authorities ruled in our favor resulting in receipt of the VAT and an additional $6.2 million for interest and inflation since the date the VAT refund was requested. The gain of $6.2 million is reported within other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

We adopted our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) to attract and retain independent directors, executive officers and other key employees and service providers. As of June 30, 2022, there were 3,532,356 shares available for future grants under the 2017 Plan.

Restricted share awards consist of restricted shares and restricted share units that are granted to eligible employees, executives, and board members and consist of ordinary shares (or the right to receive ordinary shares).

A summary of our restricted share awards from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 is as follows:

	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

Performance share awards consist of ordinary shares that may become earned and vested at the end of a three-year performance period based on the achievement of performance targets adopted by our Compensation Committee. Our performance shares have market conditions where 50% of the performance share awards will vest based on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of our ordinary shares relative to those of our peer group and 50% will vest based on the compound annual growth rate of the price of our ordinary shares. The peer shareholder return component may vest between 0% and 150% of target, with the award capped at 100% of target should Playa's TSR be negative. The growth rate component may vest up to 100% of target.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments

Our two interest rate swaps mitigate the interest rate risk inherent to our floating rate debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan. The interest rate swaps are not for trading purposes and have fixed notional values of $200.0 million and $600.0 million. The fixed rate paid by us is 2.85% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate, which results in us fixing LIBOR at 2.85% on $800.0 million of our Term Loan. The interest rate swaps mature on March 31, 2023.

Our interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, but were deemed ineffective due to the decrease in interest rates. All changes in fair value are recognized through interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following tables present the effect of our interest rate swaps, net of tax, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 ($ in thousands):

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value of financial instruments

The objective of a fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework, which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

•Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and reflect our judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

We believe the carrying value of our financial instruments, excluding our debt, approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We did not have any Level 3 instruments during any of the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables present our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 ($ in thousands):

Total liabilities	$	1,133,261	$	—	$	—	$	1,130,644

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and our financial instruments not measured at fair value:

	Valuation Technique
Financial instruments recorded at fair value
Interest rate swaps	The fair value of the interest rate swaps is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the swaps, the contractual period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is largely dependent on forecasted LIBOR as of the measurement date. If, in subsequent periods, forecasted LIBOR exceeds 2.85% we will recognize a gain and future cash inflows. Conversely, if forecasted LIBOR falls below 2.85% in subsequent periods we will recognize a loss and future cash outflows.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value
Term Loans and Property Loan	The fair value of our Term Loans and Property Loan are estimated using cash flow projections over the remaining contractual period by applying market forward rates and discounting back at the appropriate discount rate.
Revolving Credit Facility	The valuation technique of our Revolving Credit Facility is consistent with our Term Loans. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility generally approximates its carrying value as the expected term is significantly shorter in duration.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business segments

Business segments

We consider each one of our owned resorts to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. We also allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual resorts. Our operating segments meet the aggregation criteria and thus, we present four separate reportable segments by geography: (i) Yucatán Peninsula, (ii) Pacific Coast, (iii) Dominican Republic and (iv) Jamaica. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we have excluded the immaterial amounts of management fees, cost reimbursements and other from our segment reporting.

Our operating segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, all of whom represent our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Financial information for each reportable segment is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources.

The performance of our business is evaluated primarily on adjusted earnings before interest expense, income tax (provision) benefit, and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and the performance of our segments is evaluated on Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expenses and management fee income (“Owned Resort EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the periods presented, before interest expense, income tax (provision) benefit, and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted to exclude the following items: (a) impairment loss; (b) loss on sale of assets; (c) other income (expense); (d) share-based compensation; (e) other tax income (expense); (f) transaction expenses; and (g) severance expenses. Adjusted EBITDA includes corporate expenses, which are overhead costs that are essential to support the operation of the Company, including the operations and development of our resorts.

There are limitations to using financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA. For example, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named financial measures that other companies publish to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income or loss generated by our business or discretionary cash available for investment in our business and investors should carefully consider our U.S. GAAP results presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement

Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2022 (the “Annual Report”).

In our opinion, the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following disclosures are in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

January 2022	The adoption of ASU No. 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 in January 2022 had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as we have not modified our variable rate debt that is priced using a spread over one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Additionally, our interest rate swaps mature on March 31, 2023, prior to the anticipated discontinuation of the one-month LIBOR rate on June 30, 2023. We do not expect to modify our interest rate swap contracts prior to their maturity date.

Contract assets and liabilities

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 other than trade and other receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our receivables are primarily the result of contracts with customers, which are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of amounts that will not be collected.

We record contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of guests staying at our resorts, which are presented as advance deposits (see Note 14) within trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our advanced deposits are generally recognized as revenue within one year.

Summary of Valuation Techniques

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and our financial instruments not measured at fair value:

	Valuation Technique
Financial instruments recorded at fair value
Interest rate swaps	The fair value of the interest rate swaps is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the swaps, the contractual period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is largely dependent on forecasted LIBOR as of the measurement date. If, in subsequent periods, forecasted LIBOR exceeds 2.85% we will recognize a gain and future cash inflows. Conversely, if forecasted LIBOR falls below 2.85% in subsequent periods we will recognize a loss and future cash outflows.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value
Term Loans and Property Loan	The fair value of our Term Loans and Property Loan are estimated using cash flow projections over the remaining contractual period by applying market forward rates and discounting back at the appropriate discount rate.
Revolving Credit Facility	The valuation technique of our Revolving Credit Facility is consistent with our Term Loans. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility generally approximates its carrying value as the expected term is significantly shorter in duration.
