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 26 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, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2023 (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. Results for the comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023. 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

Cloud Computing Arrangements

We capitalize application development stage costs associated with cloud computing arrangements (CCAs). Capitalized implementation costs are included in prepayments and other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the hosting arrangement and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accounting standards

New accounting pronouncements recently issued or effective were not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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.

Depreciation expense for property and equipment was $19.0 million and $19.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $37.8 million and $38.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Hurricane Fiona

On September 19, 2022, Hurricane Fiona, a Category 1 hurricane, made landfall on the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic and caused non-structural damage to several of our resorts. Our insurance policies provide coverage for business interruption, including lost profits, and reimbursement for costs related to the property damages and losses we have incurred.

We received property damage insurance proceeds of $17.8 million and business interruption proceeds of $11.1 million related to Hurricane Fiona during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The property we manage in the Dominican Republic, Sanctuary Cap Cana, also sustained damage from Hurricane Fiona and was temporarily closed in late September for necessary clean-up and repairs. The resort reopened on January 20, 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, 2023 and 2022 ($ in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
Leases	2023		2022		2023		2022
Operating lease income (1)	$	1,101	$	1,076	$	2,051	$	2,302

________

(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, the 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 of up to 30% in the jurisdictions in which they are domiciled.

All of our outstanding Advance Pricing Agreements (“APAs”) for our Dominican Republic entities expired as of December 31, 2021. We are currently in the process of finalizing the terms of new APAs, which we expect to complete before the end of 2023. Our estimated annual effective tax rate calculation reflects the terms of the APAs that are expected to apply for the year ending December 31, 2023.

We had no uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2023. We expect no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

We regularly assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets by evaluating historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in permitted carry back years, and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of June 30, 2023, a valuation allowance has been maintained as a reserve on a portion of our net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization of our loss carry forwards and other deferred tax assets. If our operating results continue to improve and our projections show continued utilization of tax attributes, we may consider that as significant positive evidence and our future reassessment may result in the determination that all or a portion of the valuation allowance is no longer required. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance releases are ultimately contingent upon the level of profitability achieved in future periods.

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. 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.

Hyatt also owns Apple Leisure Group (“ALG”), the brand management platform AMResorts, and various tour operators and travel agencies. We previously paid AMResorts and its affiliates, as operators of the Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach through December 20, 2022 and January 6, 2023, respectively, management and marketing fees, and sold 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. An affiliate of DKCM was also a lender of $25.0 million in aggregate principal of our Term Loan due 2029 (as defined in Note 11) as of December 31, 2022.

Relationship with HG Vora Capital Management, LLC

HG Vora Capital Management, LLC is considered a related party due to its ownership of our ordinary shares and was a lender of $8.5 million and $42.5 million in aggregate principal of the Term Loan due 2029 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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.

(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 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 (expense) income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Note 8. Ordinary shares

On February 9, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a $200.0 million share repurchase program, pursuant to which we may repurchase our outstanding ordinary shares as market conditions and our liquidity warrant. The repurchase program is subject to certain limitations under Dutch law, including the existing repurchase authorization granted by our shareholders. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means (including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans). Depending on market conditions and other factors, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 3,752,415 ordinary shares under the program at an average price of $9.10 per share. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $135.1 million remaining under our $200.0 million share repurchase program.

As of June 30, 2023, our ordinary share capital consisted of 150,650,437 ordinary shares outstanding, which have a par value of €0.10 per share. In addition, 4,868,770 restricted shares and performance share awards and 32,658 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

11

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.

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. On May 11, 2023, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan to increase the number of ordinary shares authorized and available for grant from 12,000,000 shares to 24,000,000 shares. As of June 30, 2023, there were 12,933,071 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, 2023 to June 30, 2023 is as follows:

	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2023	2,288,821	$	6.94
Granted	1,744,579	6.77
Vested	(1,148,476)	6.91
Forfeited	(31,846)	6.91
Unvested balance at June 30, 2023	2,853,078	$	6.85

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
January 18, 2023
Peer Shareholder Return	50	%	$	2,751	71.82	%	3.70	%	—	%
Growth Rate	50	%	$	2,194	71.82	%	3.70	%	—	%

________

(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, 2023 to June 30, 2023 is as follows:

	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2023	1,329,123	$	6.05

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, unvested performance share awards in the amount 187,500 shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. We had no anti-dilutive unvested performance share awards for all other periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The performance targets of our unvested performance share awards were partially achieved as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we had no anti-dilutive unvested restricted share awards.

________

(1)Undrawn balances bear interest between 0.25% to 0.50% depending on certain leverage ratios. We had an available balance of $225.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Interest is incurred on any outstanding balance based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin ranging from 3.25% to 3.75%, depending on our consolidated secured net leverage ratio.

(2)The effective interest rate for the Term Loan due 2029 was 9.34% and 8.58% as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

13

Second Restatement Agreement

On December 16, 2022, we entered into the Second Restatement Agreement to amend and restate our Senior Secured Credit Facility to consist of (i) a $225.0 million revolving line of credit with a maturity date of January 5, 2028 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a $1.1 billion term loan with a maturity of January 5, 2029 (the “Term Loan due 2029” and collectively with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”).

The Term Loan due 2029 bears interest at SOFR plus a margin of 4.25% (where the applicable SOFR rate has a 0.50% floor). The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 3.25% to 3.75%, in each case, depending on the level of our consolidated secured net leverage ratio in effect from time to time.

Financial maintenance covenants

We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2023. A summary of our applicable covenants and restrictions is as follows:

Debt	Covenant Terms
Senior Secured Credit Facility	We are subject to a total net leverage ratio of 5.20x if we have more than 35% drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility.

Note 12. Derivative financial instruments

We have entered into interest rate swaps to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent to our floating rate debt. Our interest rate swaps outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Notional Amount	Interest Rate Received	Fixed Rate Paid	Effective Date	Maturity Date
Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
$275 million	One-month SOFR	4.05%	April 15, 2023	April 15, 2025
$275 million	One-month SOFR	3.71%	April 15, 2023	April 15, 2026
Not Designated as Hedging Instrument (1)
$800 million	One-month LIBOR	2.85%	March 29, 2018	March 31, 2023

________

(1) Our LIBOR-based interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges in March 2019, but were deemed ineffective in February 2020 due to the decrease in interest rates.

The following tables present the effect of our interest rate swaps, net of tax, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 ($ in thousands):

________

(1) Includes the loss or (gain) from the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps and the cash interest paid or received 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ($ in thousands):

Derivative Financial Instruments	Financial Statement Classification	As of June 30,		As of December 31,

Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
Interest rate swap	Derivative financial instruments	$	8,850	$	—
Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Interest rate swap	Derivative financial instruments	$	—	$	3,510

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We did not have any Level 3 instruments during any of the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ($ in thousands):

Financial Assets	June 30, 2023		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Fair value measurements on a recurring basis
Interest rate swaps	$	8,850	$	—	$	8,850	$	—

Financial Assets	December 31, 2022		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Fair value measurements on a recurring basis
Interest rate swaps	$	3,510	$	—	$	3,510	$	—

The following tables present our fair value hierarchy for our financial liabilities not measured at fair value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ($ in thousands):

	Carrying Value		Fair Value
	As of June 30, 2023		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial liabilities not recorded at fair value
Term Loan due 2029	$	1,057,768	$	—	$	—	$	1,116,162

	Carrying Value		Fair Value
	As of December 31, 2022		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial liabilities not recorded at fair value
Term Loan due 2029	$	1,059,796	$	—	$	—	$	1,114,860

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 SOFR as of the measurement date. If, in subsequent periods, forecasted SOFR exceeds the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps, we will recognize a gain and future cash inflows. Conversely, if forecasted SOFR falls below the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps in subsequent periods, we will recognize a loss and future cash outflows.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value
Term Loan due 2029	The fair value of our Term Loan due 2029 is 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 Loan due 2029. 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 report four separate reportable segments by geography: (i) Yucatán Peninsula, (ii) Pacific Coast, (iii) Dominican Republic and (iv) Jamaica.

Our operating segments are components of the business that 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. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we have excluded the immaterial amounts of management fees, cost reimbursements, The Playa Collection and other from our segment reporting.

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

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the periods presented, before interest expense, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted to exclude the following items: (a) (gain) loss on sale of assets; (b) other (expense) income; (c) repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms; (d) share-based compensation; (e) other tax income; and (f) transaction 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.

Our Total Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $24.7 million, or 11.5%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due to the following:

•an increase in Net Package ADR of 16.1% as a result of:

•a higher meetings, incentives, conventions and events (“MICE”) group contribution to our guest mix; and

•a benefit from the reduced occupancy levels at Jewel Palm Beach and Jewel Punta Cana due to a slower ramp, as we were unable to make up ground after missing the key summer selling season once we assumed management from a third-party. Excluding these resorts, Net Package ADR increased 15.5%.

•a decrease in Net Non-package Revenue of $1.1 million, or 3.2%, primarily as a result of a $1.5 million decrease due to the expiration of our Extended Stay Program late in the second quarter of 2022 as COVID-19-related travel restrictions were no longer in effect compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

•a decrease in Occupancy of 1.6 percentage points as a result of reduced Occupancy at Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach.

•Excluding Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach, Occupancy increased 1.7 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA

Our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $10.4 million, or 16.9%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 includes a $4.3 million benefit from business interruption insurance proceeds and recoverable expenses related to Hurricane Fiona in the Dominican Republic during the second half of 2022, which had a positive impact of 180 basis points on Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

•Our Adjusted EBITDA Margin was negatively impacted by 260 basis points due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate appreciation and the benefit from business interruption proceeds and recoverable expenses, Adjusted EBITDA Margin would have been 31.0%, an increase of 2.2 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Our direct expenses include resort expenses, such as food and beverage, salaries and wages, utilities and other ongoing operational expenses. Our Net Direct Expenses were $126.3 million, or 52.9% of Total Net Revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $114.0 million, or 53.3% of Total Net Revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Direct operating expenses fluctuate based on various factors, including changes in Occupancy, labor costs, utilities, repair and maintenance costs and licenses and property taxes. Management fees and franchise fees, which are computed as a percentage of revenue, increase or decrease as a result of changes in revenues.

Net Direct Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $12.3 million, or 10.8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the following:

•increased operating expenses associated with higher Occupancy levels for our portfolio (excluding the Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach) as a result of the corresponding recovery in our operations compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, during which time occupancies were negatively affected by the Omicron variant and COVID-19 related travel restrictions;

•appreciation of the Mexican Peso compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, which primarily impacted labor and food and beverage expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023; and

•increased labor and related expenses as a result of union-negotiated and government mandated wage and benefit increases compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $6.1 million, or 14.8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.9 million increase in insurance expenses as a result of higher insurance premiums and a $0.7 million increase in the provision for doubtful accounts due to the reversal of expense during the three months ended June 30, 2022 following the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. We also experienced a $0.8 million increase in corporate personnel costs, a $0.7 million increase in credit card commissions, and a $0.5 million increase in share-based compensation expense due to an increase in the fair value of restricted and performance share awards granted in 2023.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Our depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $0.3 million, or 1.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 as we did not add or dispose of significant balances of property and equipment in either period.

Gain on Insurance Proceeds

Our gain on insurance proceeds for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $3.8 million, or 100.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of business interruption insurance proceeds received in 2023 related to the temporary closure of two of our resorts in the Dominican Republic due to Hurricane Fiona in the second half of 2022. We had no gain on insurance proceeds during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $13.2 million, or 102.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense was driven primarily by an $11.2 million increase from our $1.1 billion term loan issued in the December 2022 debt refinancing (the “Term Loan due 2029”), which incurs interest based on SOFR plus a margin of 4.25%, and a $6.3 million increase related to a favorable change in fair value of our prior LIBOR-based interest rate swaps recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2022. We did not recognize any changes in fair value of our prior LIBOR-based interest rate swaps during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as these interest rate swaps matured on March 31, 2023. Additionally, our SOFR-based interest rate swaps effective in April 2023 meet the criteria for hedge accounting and therefore, changes in fair value are recognized through other comprehensive income. These increases were partially offset by a $4.8 million decrease in interest

28

expense due to the repayment of the entire outstanding balance of our former additional senior secured credit facility (the “Additional Credit Facility”) and our former property loan agreement (the “Property Loan”) in December 2022 in connection with the December 2022 debt refinancing.

Cash interest paid was $25.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing a $7.1 million, or 37.7% increase as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in cash interest paid was primarily driven by a $12.5 million increase from our Term Loan due 2029. This increase was partially offset by a $5.7 million decrease in cash interest paid due to the repayment of the entire outstanding balance of our Additional Credit Facility and Property Loan in connection with our December 2022 debt refinancing.

Income Tax Provision

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, our income tax provision was $2.8 million, compared to a $1.3 million income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $1.5 million was primarily driven by a $1.7 million increased tax provision associated with unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily at our Mexico entities, which was partially offset by a $0.3 million decreased tax provision associated with lower pre-tax book income from our taxpaying entities.

Total Revenue and Total Net Revenue

Our Total Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $81.0 million, or 18.4%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Our Total Net Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $75.7 million, or 17.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due to the following:

•an increase in Net Package ADR of 21.8% as a result of:

•a higher MICE group contribution to our guest mix; and

•a benefit from the reduced occupancy levels at Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach, which was closed the majority of the first quarter, as we transitioned the management of the resorts to us from a third-party resulting in a slower ramp since we were unable to make up ground after missing the key summer selling season. Excluding these resorts, Net Package ADR increased 16.6%.

•an increase in Net Non-package Revenue of $3.2 million, or 5.2%, despite a $3.6 million decrease due to the expiration of our Extended Stay Program late in the second quarter of 2022 as COVID-19-related travel restrictions were no longer in effect compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

•a decrease in Occupancy of 1.5 percentage points as a result of reduced Occupancy at Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach.

•Excluding Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach, Occupancy increased 6.4 percentage points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA

Our Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $32.0 million, or 23.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023 includes a $4.3 million benefit from business interruption proceeds and recoverable expenses related to Hurricane Fiona that impacted the Dominican Republic in the second half of 2022, which had a positive impact of 90 basis points on Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

•Our Adjusted EBITDA Margin was negatively impacted by 220 basis points due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate appreciation and the benefit from business interruption proceeds and recoverable expenses, Adjusted EBITDA Margin would have been 35.2%, an increase of 2.8 percentage points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $14.0 million, or 17.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $3.8 million increase in insurance expenses driven by higher insurance premiums for the current year, as well as a $2.1 million increase in travel agent and tour operator commissions expenses and a $2.0 million increase in credit card commissions due to higher levels of Occupancy for our comparable portfolio. We also experienced a $1.3 million increase in the provision for doubtful accounts due to the reversal of expense during the six months ended June 30, 2022 following the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase was also driven by a $2.4 million increase in corporate personnel costs, a $0.6 million increase in corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, and a $0.6 million increase in transaction expenses resulting from new system implementations.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Our depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $0.6 million, or 1.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, as we did not add or dispose of significant balances of property and equipment in either period.

Gain on Insurance Proceeds

Our gain on insurance proceeds for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $3.8 million, or 100.0%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of business interruption insurance proceeds received in 2023 related to the temporary closure of two of our resorts in the Dominican Republic due to Hurricane Fiona in the second half of 2022. We had no gain on insurance proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $33.7 million, or 152.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense was driven primarily by a $23.7 million increase related to an unfavorable change in fair value of our prior LIBOR-based interest rate swaps, which matured on March 31, 2023. Our SOFR-based interest rate swaps effective in April 2023 meet the criteria for hedge accounting and therefore, changes in fair value are recognized through other comprehensive income. The increase was also due to $18.0 million of additional interest from the Term Loan due 2029, which incurs interest based on SOFR plus a margin of 4.25%. These increases were partially offset by a $9.5 million decrease in interest expense due to the repayment of the entire outstanding balance of the Additional Credit Facility and Property Loan in December 2022 in connection with the December 2022 debt refinancing.

Cash interest paid was $47.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a $10.2 million, or 27.7% increase as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in cash interest paid was primarily driven by a $19.0 million increase

34

from our Term Loan due 2029. This increase was partially offset by a $9.5 million decrease in cash interest paid due to the repayment of the entire outstanding balance of our Additional Credit Facility and Property Loan in connection with our December 2022 debt refinancing.

Income Tax Provision

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our income tax provision was $7.6 million, compared to a $2.9 million income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in our income tax provision of $4.7 million was primarily driven by a $3.3 million increased tax provision due to unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily at our Mexico entities, a $0.7 million increased tax provision for tax true-ups recorded, a $0.4 million increased tax provision due to changes in valuation allowances, and a $0.3 million increased tax provision associated with higher pre-tax book income for our taxpaying entities compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

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

•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 and premium room upgrades, 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” includes revenue associated with premium services and amenities that are not included in net package revenue, such as dining experiences, wines and spirits, and spa packages, 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

35

from revenue. Net Non-package Revenue is recognized after the completion of the sale when the product or service is transferred to the customer. Food and beverage 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 resort revenue, and an incentive fee, which is computed as a percentage of resort profitability. Management Fee Revenue was a minor contributor to our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, but we expect Management Fee Revenue to be a more relevant indicator to assess the overall performance of our business in the future to the extent we are successful in entering into more management contracts.

“Total Net Revenue” represents Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue, Management Fee Revenue, The Playa Collection revenue and Other revenues. “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 or net income.

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

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 (as defined below) 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 Net Non-package Revenue. Although Net Package RevPAR does not include this additional revenue, it generally is considered the key performance statistic in the all-inclusive segment of the lodging industry to identify trend information with respect to Net Package 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 miscellaneous non-operating income or expense

•Pre-opening expense

36

•Losses or gains on sales of assets

•Share-based compensation

•Other tax expense

•Transaction expenses

•Severance expense for employee terminations resulting from non-recurring or unusual events, such as the departure of an executive officer or the disposition of a resort

•Gains from property damage insurance proceeds (i.e., property damage insurance proceeds in excess of repair and clean up costs incurred)

•Repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms (i.e., significant repair and clean up costs incurred which are not offset by property damage insurance proceeds)

•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; 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 our calculation of 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, The Playa Collection revenue 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, and Net Direct Expenses are all useful to investors as they more accurately 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, including our executive officers, 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.

37

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 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 portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2023 excludes the Jewel Palm Beach, which was closed for a majority of the first quarter of 2023 as we transitioned the management of the resort to us from a third-party.

A reconciliation of net income as computed under U.S. GAAP to Comparable Adjusted EBITDA is presented in “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures,” below. For a reconciliation of Comparable Net Package Revenue, Comparable Net Non-package Revenue, and Comparable Total Net Revenue to total revenue as computed under U.S. GAAP, see “Results of Operations.”

________

(1)For the three months ended June 30, 2022, includes $0.9 million of on-property room upgrade revenue that was reclassified from net non-package revenue to net package revenue to conform with current period presentation.

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $4.9 million, or 7.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 and was driven by:

•an increase in Occupancy of 1.7 percentage points driven by higher demand from Mexican and European sourced guests, partially offset by a decrease in guests sourced from the United States;

•an increase in Net Package ADR of 6.4%; and

•a decrease in Net Non-package Revenue of $0.4 million, or 4.5%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net Non-package Revenue per sold room decreased 6.8%, primarily from a decrease of $0.4 million due to the expiration of our Extended Stay Program late in the second quarter of 2022 as COVID-19-related travel restrictions were no longer in effect. Excluding this impact, Net Non-package Revenue per sold room decreased 3.0% due to a decrease in the number of weddings compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $1.6 million, or 6.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was largely due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, union negotiated and government mandated wage and benefit increases, and Occupancy-related increases in resort operating expenses compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

•Our Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 32.5%, a decrease of 4.6 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Owned Resort EBITDA Margin was negatively impacted by 570 basis points due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso and by 240 basis points from increases in labor and related expenses, which are partially due to union negotiated and government mandated wage and benefit increases compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Excluding the impact from the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 would have been 38.1%, an increase of 1.0 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

________

(1)For the three months ended June 30, 2022, includes $0.2 million of on-property room upgrade revenue that was reclassified from net non-package revenue to net package revenue to conform with current period presentation.

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $4.3 million, or 12.8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due to the following:

•an increase in Net Package ADR of 18.4%; and

•an increase in Net Non-package Revenue of $0.6 million, or 13.2% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net Non-package Revenue per sold room increased 18.9% despite a $0.3 million decrease due to the expiration of our Extended Stay Program at the end of the second quarter of 2022 as COVID-19-related travel restrictions were no longer in effect. Excluding this impact, Net Non-package Revenue per sold room increased 28.6% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of a higher MICE group contribution to our guest mix; partially offset by

•a decrease in Occupancy of 3.6 percentage points, driven by a decrease in guests sourced from the United States.

Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $1.0 million, or 7.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Owned Resort EBITDA was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso and increases in labor and related expenses, which are partially due to union-negotiated and government mandated wage and benefit increases compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

•Our Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 39.4%, a decrease of 2.1 percentage points compared to three months ended June 30, 2022. Owned Resort EBITDA Margin was negatively impacted by 490 basis points due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso and by 220 basis points from increases in labor and related expenses, which are partially due to union negotiated and government mandated wage and benefit increases compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Excluding the impact from the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, Owned Resort EBITDA Margin would have been 44.3%, an increase of 2.8 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

________

(1)For the three months ended June 30, 2022, includes $1.2 million of on-property room upgrade revenue that was reclassified from net non-package revenue to net package revenue to conform with current period presentation.

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $0.3 million, or 0.4%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due to the following:

•an increase in Net Package ADR of 16.2% due to a lower mix of sold rooms at Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach, which had significantly lower ADRs compared to the other resorts in this segment during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Excluding these resorts, Net Package ADR increased 18.5%; partially offset by

•a decrease in Occupancy of 7.9 percentage points as a result of reduced Occupancy at Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach due to the transition of management. Excluding these resorts, Occupancy increased 0.8 percentage points; and

•a decrease in Net Non-package Revenue of $1.8 million, or 15.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net Non-package Revenue per sold room decreased 5.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to:

•a decrease in Net Non-package Revenue as a result of reduced Occupancy at Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Excluding these resorts, Net Non-package Revenue increased 6.4%.

•a decrease of $0.4 million due to the expiration of our Extended Stay Program at the end of the second quarter of 2022 as COVID-19-related travel restrictions were no longer in effect. Excluding this impact and the drag from Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach, Net Non-package Revenue per sold room increased 10.4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $1.2 million, or 5.9%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $4.3 million benefit from business interruption proceeds and recoverable expenses related to Hurricane Fiona that impacted the Dominican Republic in the second half of 2022, partially offset by lower Occupancy at Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach. Excluding the aforementioned business interruption benefit and the drag from the two Jewel properties, Owned Resort EBITDA for three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 23.0% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

•Our Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 33.7%, an increase of 1.7 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to a favorable impact of 660 basis points from business interruption proceeds and recoverable expenses related to Hurricane Fiona, partially offset by a negative impact of 1,190 basis points due to reduced Occupancy at Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach. Excluding the aforementioned business interruption benefit and the drag from the two Jewel properties, Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 38.1%, an increase of 1.7 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

________

(1)For the six months ended June 30, 2022, includes $1.9 million of on-property room upgrade revenue that was reclassified from net non-package revenue to net package revenue to conform with current period presentation.

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $25.0 million, or 18.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due to the following:

•an increase in Occupancy of 6.9 percentage points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, driven by an increase in guests sourced from Mexico and Canada;

•an increase in Net Package ADR of 10.2%; and

•an increase in Net Non-package Revenue of $0.5 million, or 2.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net Non-package Revenue per sold room decreased 6.1% due to a decrease of $1.0 million due to the expiration of our Extended Stay Program late in the second quarter of 2022 as COVID-19-related travel restrictions were no longer in effect. Excluding this impact, Net Non-package Revenue per sold room decreased 0.5% due to a decrease in the number of weddings compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $6.8 million, or 12.3%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was a result of leveraging a majority of our direct expenses given the Net Package ADR growth, which was partially offset by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso and increases in labor and related expenses, which are partially due to union negotiated and government mandated wage and benefit increases, and Occupancy-related increases in resort operating expenses compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

•Our Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 38.0%, a decrease of 2.0 percentage points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Owned Resort EBITDA Margin was negatively impacted by 460 basis points due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso and by 330 basis points due to increases in labor and related expenses, which are partially due to union negotiated and government mandated wage and benefit increases compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Excluding the impact from the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, Owned Resort EBITDA Margin would have been 42.6%, an increase of 2.6 percentage points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

(g)    Our comparable portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2023 excludes the Jewel Palm Beach, which was closed for a majority of the first quarter of 2023 as we transitioned the management of the resort to us from a third-party.

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.

49

Inflation

We have experienced an elevated level of inflationary pressure on our direct resort expenses since the beginning of 2022. Inflation effects were experienced mostly through higher labor costs, food and beverage prices, and utility costs. Although we experienced some improvement during 2023, we expected that inflationary pressures would remain elevated at least through the first half of 2023, but could continue for longer. While we, like most operators of lodging properties, have the ability to adjust room rates to reflect the effects of inflation, competitive pricing pressures 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, 2023 was $67.1 million. 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, 2023, we had $268.8 million of available cash, as compared to $283.9 million as of December 31, 2022. 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, we had no restricted cash balance as of June 30, 2023. As of July 31, 2023, we had approximately $239.5 million of available cash and also had $225.0 million available on our Revolving Credit Facility, which does not mature until January 2028.

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 2023 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, 2023, 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. As of June 30, 2023, we had $55.5 million of scheduled contractual obligations remaining in 2023 which we expect to pay with available cash.

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 a resurgence of COVID-19 or for other reasons, such as inflation, 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 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,
	2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	67,111	$	97,301
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(1,131)	$	(11,970)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(81,080)	$	(30,111)
(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(15,100)	$	55,220

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, 2023, our net cash provided by operating activities was $67.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net cash provided by operating activities was $97.3 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

•Purchases of property and equipment of $18.8 million, primarily for maintenance related expenditures; and

•Property damage insurance proceeds related to the impacts of Hurricane Fiona in the Dominican Republic of $17.8 million.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

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

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. 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.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Our net cash used in financing activities was $81.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

•Principal payments on our Term Loan due 2029 of $5.5 million; and

•Repurchases of ordinary shares of $75.4 million.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

•Principal payments on our prior 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 2022 as well as our quarterly principal payments.

Critical Accounting 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 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, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023. 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.

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.

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 two interest rate swaps (see Note 12 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) to manage our exposure to this risk. As of June 30, 2023, 50% of our outstanding indebtedness bore interest at floating rates, as our Term Loan due 2029 incurs interest based on SOFR plus a margin of 4.25%.

•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 $5.5 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 $5.5 million annually, assuming the balance outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility remained at $0 million.

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, 2023 less than 1% 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 73.4% of our resort-level operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 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, 2023 would have impacted our Owned Resort EBITDA by approximately $5.6 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, 2023 would have impacted our Owned Resort EBITDA by approximately $3.3 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, 2023 would have impacted our Owned Resort EBITDA by approximately $2.8 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.

54

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

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 26 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, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2023 (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. Results for the comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following disclosures are in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

Capitalized implementation costs are included in prepayments and other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the hosting arrangement and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

New accounting pronouncements recently issued or effective were not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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.

Hurricane Fiona

On September 19, 2022, Hurricane Fiona, a Category 1 hurricane, made landfall on the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic and caused non-structural damage to several of our resorts. Our insurance policies provide coverage for business interruption, including lost profits, and reimbursement for costs related to the property damages and losses we have incurred.

We received property damage insurance proceeds of $17.8 million and business interruption proceeds of $11.1 million related to Hurricane Fiona during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The property we manage in the Dominican Republic, Sanctuary Cap Cana, also sustained damage from Hurricane Fiona and was temporarily closed in late September for necessary clean-up and repairs. The resort reopened on January 20, 2023.

Income taxes

We file tax returns for our entities in key jurisdictions including Mexico, the 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 of up to 30% in the jurisdictions in which they are domiciled.

All of our outstanding Advance Pricing Agreements (“APAs”) for our Dominican Republic entities expired as of December 31, 2021. We are currently in the process of finalizing the terms of new APAs, which we expect to complete before the end of 2023. Our estimated annual effective tax rate calculation reflects the terms of the APAs that are expected to apply for the year ending December 31, 2023.

We had no uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2023. We expect no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

We regularly assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets by evaluating historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in permitted carry back years, and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of June 30, 2023, a valuation allowance has been maintained as a reserve on a portion of our net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization of our loss carry forwards and other deferred tax assets. If our operating results continue to improve and our projections show continued utilization of tax attributes, we may consider that as significant positive evidence and our future reassessment may result in the determination that all or a portion of the valuation allowance is no longer required. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance releases are ultimately contingent upon the level of profitability achieved in future periods.

Commitments and contingencies

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 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 (expense) income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

On February 9, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a $200.0 million share repurchase program, pursuant to which we may repurchase our outstanding ordinary shares as market conditions and our liquidity warrant. The repurchase program is subject to certain limitations under Dutch law, including the existing repurchase authorization granted by our shareholders. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means (including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans). Depending on market conditions and other factors, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 3,752,415 ordinary shares under the program at an average price of $9.10 per share. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $135.1 million remaining under our $200.0 million share repurchase program.

As of June 30, 2023, our ordinary share capital consisted of 150,650,437 ordinary shares outstanding, which have a par value of €0.10 per share. In addition, 4,868,770 restricted shares and performance share awards and 32,658 restricted share units were outstanding under the 2017 Plan (as defined in 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. On May 11, 2023, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan to increase the number of ordinary shares authorized and available for grant from 12,000,000 shares to 24,000,000 shares. As of June 30, 2023, there were 12,933,071 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, 2023 to June 30, 2023 is as follows:

	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

Forfeited	(31,846)	6.91
Unvested balance at June 30, 2023	2,853,078	$	6.85

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.

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We did not have any Level 3 instruments during any of the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ($ in thousands):

Financial Assets	June 30, 2023		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Fair value measurements on a recurring basis

The following tables present our fair value hierarchy for our financial liabilities not measured at fair value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ($ in thousands):

Financial liabilities not recorded at fair value
Term Loan due 2029	$	1,059,796	$	—	$	—	$	1,114,860

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 SOFR as of the measurement date. If, in subsequent periods, forecasted SOFR exceeds the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps, we will recognize a gain and future cash inflows. Conversely, if forecasted SOFR falls below the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps in subsequent periods, we will recognize a loss and future cash outflows.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value
Term Loan due 2029	The fair value of our Term Loan due 2029 is 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 Loan due 2029. 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 report four separate reportable segments by geography: (i) Yucatán Peninsula, (ii) Pacific Coast, (iii) Dominican Republic and (iv) Jamaica.

Our operating segments are components of the business that 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. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we have excluded the immaterial amounts of management fees, cost reimbursements, The Playa Collection and other from our segment reporting.

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

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the periods presented, before interest expense, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted to exclude the following items: (a) (gain) loss on sale of assets; (b) other (expense) income; (c) repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms; (d) share-based compensation; (e) other tax income; and (f) transaction 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.

The following table presents segment Owned Net Revenue, defined as total revenue less compulsory tips paid to employees, cost reimbursements, management fees and other miscellaneous revenue not derived from segment operations, and a reconciliation to total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 ($ in thousands):

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, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2023 (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. Results for the comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following disclosures are in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

Cloud Computing Arrangements

We capitalize application development stage costs associated with cloud computing arrangements (CCAs). Capitalized implementation costs are included in prepayments and other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the hosting arrangement and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Contract assets and liabilities

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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 SOFR as of the measurement date. If, in subsequent periods, forecasted SOFR exceeds the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps, we will recognize a gain and future cash inflows. Conversely, if forecasted SOFR falls below the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps in subsequent periods, we will recognize a loss and future cash outflows.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value
Term Loan due 2029	The fair value of our Term Loan due 2029 is 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 Loan due 2029. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility generally approximates its carrying value as the expected term is significantly shorter in duration.
