Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR) today reported third quarter 2020 results, which were dramatically impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic and efforts to contain it (COVID-19).

Arne M. Sorenson, president and chief executive officer of Marriott International, said, "While COVID-19 is still significantly impacting our business, our results for the third quarter showed continued improvement in demand trends around the world.  Worldwide RevPAR¹ declined 66 percent in the quarter, a nearly 19-percentage point improvement from the decline in the second quarter.  Greater China continues to lead the recovery and demonstrates the resiliency of travel demand, with third quarter occupancy of 61 percent and RevPAR recovering to down 26 percent, a 35-percentage point improvement compared to the decline in the second quarter.  Third quarter occupancy at our hotels in North America reached 37 percent, nearly double occupancy in the second quarter, primarily driven by leisure, drive-to demand, with business and group recovering more slowly.  Globally, 94 percent of our hotels are now open and welcoming guests.

"The Asia Pacific region led deal signings in the third quarter, accounting for more than half of all rooms signed globally, with the vast majority of those rooms in Greater China.  During the third quarter, we added more than 19,000 rooms to our system, nearly 70 percent more than were added in the second quarter, achieving 5 percent gross rooms growth in the last 12 months.  At quarter-end, approximately 228,000 rooms of our more than 496,000-room pipeline were under construction.  Progress on projects under construction largely continues apace around the world, although we have designated a slightly higher number of projects on hold given macroeconomic uncertainty and discussions with our owners.  For full year 2020, we now expect 2.5 to 3 percent net rooms growth, including terminations of 1.5 to 2 percent.  Assuming progress is made in containing COVID-19, we would expect gross room additions in 2021 to accelerate compared to our expectations for 2020.

"Although the timing of a full recovery remains unpredictable, we are pleased with the significant progress we have made in restructuring and repositioning the company to successfully manage through these challenging times.   Financially, we have strengthened our liquidity position, realigned our cost structure, and minimized our cash burn.  We have also remained keenly focused on working with our hotel owners and franchisees to significantly reduce hotel level costs and help preserve cash in this extremely low revenue environment.  Operationally, we have elevated our health and cleanliness standards to establish trust and credibility with travelers and to enhance the safety and wellbeing of our associates and guests.  

"We still have a long road ahead, but this crisis will come to an end, and I believe travel will rebound quickly.  I am confident that the many steps we have taken this year, combined with our unrivaled global portfolio, the strength of our brands, and the power of Marriott Bonvoy position us very well now and for the future."

Third Quarter 2020 Results
Marriott's reported operating income totaled $252 million in the 2020 third quarter, compared to 2019 third quarter reported operating income of $607 million.  Reported net income totaled $100 million in the 2020 third quarter, compared to 2019 third quarter reported net income of $387 million.  Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) totaled $0.31 in the quarter, compared to reported diluted EPS of $1.16 in the year-ago quarter.  Reported results in the 2020 third quarter included impairment charges of $32 million pretax ($24 million after-tax and $0.07 per share), related to COVID-19.

Adjusted operating income in the 2020 third quarter totaled $147 million, compared to 2019 third quarter adjusted operating income of $734 million.  Adjusted operating income in the 2020 third quarter included impairment charges of $32 million, related to COVID-19.

Third quarter 2020 adjusted net income totaled $20 million, compared to 2019 third quarter adjusted net income of $488 million.  Adjusted diluted EPS in the third quarter totaled $0.06, compared to adjusted diluted EPS of $1.47 in the year-ago quarter.  These 2020 third quarter adjusted results included impairment charges of $24 million after-tax ($0.07 per share), related to COVID-19.  Adjusted results exclude restructuring and merger-related charges, cost reimbursement revenue, and reimbursed expenses.  See page A-3 for the calculation of adjusted results.

Base management and franchise fees totaled $366 million in the 2020 third quarter, compared to base management and franchise fees of $821 million in the year-ago quarter.  The year-over-year decline in these fees is primarily attributable to RevPAR declines related to COVID-19 and a decrease in other non-RevPAR related franchise fees.  Other non-RevPAR related franchise fees in the 2020 third quarter of $119 million were $26 million, or 18 percent, lower than the year-ago quarter, largely due to lower credit card branding fees.

Incentive management fees totaled $31 million in the 2020 third quarter, compared to incentive management fees of $134 million in the year-ago quarter.  The year-over-year decline in these fees is primarily attributable to lower net house profits at many hotels related to COVID-19.  Roughly three-quarters of the incentive management fees recognized in the quarter were earned at hotels in the Asia Pacific region.    

Contract investment amortization for the 2020 third quarter totaled $48 million, compared to $16 million in the year-ago quarter.  The year-over-year change reflects impairments of investments in management and franchise contracts related to COVID-19.

Owned, leased, and other revenue, net of direct expenses, totaled an $18 million loss in the 2020 third quarter, compared to $67 million of profit in the year-ago quarter as a result of RevPAR declines related to COVID-19.

General, administrative, and other expenses for the 2020 third quarter totaled $131 million, compared to $220 million in the year-ago quarter.  Expenses in the 2020 third quarter reflect the company's cost reduction efforts. 

Restructuring and merger-related charges totaled $1 million in the third quarter compared to $9 million in the third quarter of 2019.  Charges in the third quarter of 2020 reflect $40 million of costs related to the company's organizational realignment, largely offset by a $39 million reduction of the non-tax-deductible accrual for the fine imposed by the U.K. Information Commissioner's Office in relation to the data security incident disclosed in November 2018.

Interest expense, net, totaled $107 million in the third quarter compared to $92 million in the year-ago quarter.  The increase is largely due to higher long-term debt balances and higher interest expense associated with new debt issuances.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) totaled $327 million in the 2020 third quarter, compared to third quarter 2019 adjusted EBITDA of $901 million.  See page A-11 for the adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Selected Performance Information
The company added 127 new properties (19,064 rooms) to its worldwide lodging portfolio during the 2020 third quarter, including roughly 1,400 rooms converted from competitor brands and approximately 7,600 rooms in international markets.  Thirty-one properties (6,066 rooms) exited the system during the quarter.  At quarter-end, Marriott's global lodging system totaled roughly 7,600 properties and timeshare resorts, with nearly 1,414,000 rooms.

At quarter-end, the company's worldwide development pipeline totaled 2,899 properties with more than 496,000 rooms, including 1,201 properties with approximately 228,000 rooms under construction and 160 properties with roughly 25,000 rooms approved for development, but not yet subject to signed contracts.

In the 2020 third quarter, worldwide RevPAR declined 65.9 percent (a 65.9 percent decline using actual dollars).  North American RevPAR declined 65.4 percent (a 65.4 percent decline using actual dollars), and international RevPAR declined 67.4 percent (a 67.3 percent decline using actual dollars).

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
At quarter-end, Marriott's net debt was $9.4 billion, representing total debt of $11.0 billion less cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 billion.  At year-end 2019, the company's net debt was $10.7 billion, representing total debt of $10.9 billion less cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 billion.

In the third quarter, the company issued $1.0 billion of Series GG Senior Notes due in 2032 with a 3.5 percent interest rate coupon.

The company's net liquidity was approximately $5.1 billion as of the end of the third quarter, representing roughly $1.5 billion in available cash balances, and $3.6 billion of unused borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, less $30 million of commercial paper outstanding. 

The company halted share repurchases in February of this year and suspended its quarterly dividend beginning in the second quarter.

COVID-19
Due to the numerous uncertainties associated with COVID-19, Marriott cannot presently estimate the financial impact of this unprecedented situation, which is highly dependent on the severity and duration of the pandemic and its impacts, but expects that COVID-19 will continue to be material to the company's results. 

The company expects to provide additional information about the current impact of COVID-19 on its business on its call later this morning.

MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We discuss management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below, and the press release schedules reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we refer to. Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income/loss, earnings/loss per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.
 
Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income Margin.  Adjusted operating income and Adjusted operating income margin exclude cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, and restructuring and merger-related (recoveries) charges. Adjusted operating income margin reflects Adjusted operating income divided by Adjusted total revenues. We believe that these are meaningful metrics because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations before these items and for the reasons further described below.
 
Adjusted Net Income/Loss and Adjusted Diluted Earnings/Loss Per Share. Adjusted net income/loss and Adjusted diluted EPS reflect our net income/loss and diluted earnings/loss per share excluding the impact of cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, restructuring and merger-related (recoveries) charges, and the income tax effect of these adjustments. We calculate the income tax effect of the adjustments using an estimated tax rate applicable to each adjustment. We believe that these measures are meaningful indicators of our performance because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations before these items and for the reasons further described below.
 
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Adjusted EBITDA reflects net income/loss excluding the impact of the following items: cost reimbursement revenue and reimbursed expenses, interest expense, depreciation (including depreciation classified in "Reimbursed expenses," as discussed below), amortization, and benefit (provision) for income taxes, restructuring and merger-related (recoveries) charges, and share-based compensation expense for all periods presented. When applicable, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes gains and losses on asset dispositions made by us or by our joint venture investees.
 
In our presentations of Adjusted operating income and Adjusted operating income margin, Adjusted net income/loss, Adjusted diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude charges incurred under our restructuring plans that we initiated beginning in the 2020 second quarter to achieve cost savings in response to the decline in lodging demand caused by COVID-19 and transition costs associated with the Starwood merger, which we record in the "Restructuring and merger-related charges" caption of our Income Statements, to allow for period-over period comparisons of our ongoing operations before the impact of these items. We exclude cost reimbursement revenue and reimbursed expenses, which relate to property-level and centralized programs and services that we operate for the benefit of our hotel owners. We do not operate these programs and services to generate a profit over the contract term, and accordingly, when we recover the costs that we incur for these programs and services from our hotel owners, we do not seek a mark-up. For property-level services, our owners typically reimburse us at the same time that we incur expenses. However, for centralized programs and services, our owners may reimburse us before or after we incur expenses, causing timing differences between the costs we incur and the related reimbursement from hotel owners in our operating and net income. Over the long term, these programs and services are not designed to impact our economics, either positively or negatively. Because we do not retain any such profits or losses over time, we exclude the net impact when evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating results.
 
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of our operating performance because it permits period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations before these items and facilitates our comparison of results before these items with results from other lodging companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels, and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provisions for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. Our Adjusted EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization expense which we report under "Depreciation, amortization, and other" as well as depreciation classified in "Reimbursed expenses" and "Contract investment amortization" in our Consolidated Statements of Income (our "Income Statements"), because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. Depreciation classified in "Reimbursed expenses" reflects depreciation of Marriott-owned assets, for which we receive cash from owners to reimburse the company for its investments made for the benefit of the system. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. We exclude share-based compensation expense in all periods presented to address the considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use share-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted.

MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES

RevPAR. In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures, we present Revenue per Available Room ("RevPAR") as a performance measure. We believe RevPAR is a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period-over-period change in room revenues for comparable properties. RevPAR relates to property level revenue and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures, such as revenues, and should not be viewed as necessarily correlating with our fee revenue. We calculate RevPAR by dividing room sales (recorded in local currency) for comparable properties by room nights available for the period. We do not consider interruptions related to COVID-19 when determining which properties to classify as comparable. We present growth in comparative RevPAR on a constant dollar basis, which we calculate by applying exchange rates for the current period to each period presented. We believe constant dollar analysis provides valuable information regarding our properties' performance as it removes currency fluctuations from the presentation of such results.
