HYATT HOTELS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Hyatt Hotels Corporation") provide hospitality services on a worldwide basis through the management, franchising and ownership of hospitality related businesses. As of June 30, 2014, we operated or franchised 274 full service hotels under the Hyatt portfolio of brands, consisting of 111,003 rooms throughout the world. As of June 30, 2014, we operated or franchised 261 select service hotels under the Hyatt portfolio of brands with 35,563 rooms, of which 254 hotels are located in the United States. As of June 30, 2014, our Hyatt portfolio of brands included 2 franchised all inclusive Hyatt-branded resorts, consisting of 926 rooms. We operate these hotels in 48 countries around the world. We hold ownership interests in certain of these hotels. We develop, operate, manage, license or provide services to the Hyatt portfolio of brands including timeshare, fractional and other forms of residential or vacation properties.
As used in these Notes and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms "Company," "HHC," "we," "us," or "our" mean Hyatt Hotels Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. As a result, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the "2013 Form 10-K").
We have eliminated all intercompany transactions in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consolidate entities for which we either have a controlling financial interest or are considered to be the primary beneficiary.
Management believes that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are all of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04 ("ASU 2013-04"), Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2013-04 requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The provisions of ASU 2013-04 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2013, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05 ("ASU 2013-05"), Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2013-05 requires that when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity, the parent is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. The provisions of ASU 2013-05 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The provisions of ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 ("ASU 2014-08"), Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and expands the required disclosures surrounding discontinued operations. The provisions of ASU 2014-08 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in previously issued financial statements. We have elected to early adopt ASU 2014-08 and have no disposals which qualify as discontinued operations.
Future Adoption of Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for contracts with customers. The provisions of ASU 2014-09 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09.
In June 2014, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10 (“ASU 2014-10”), Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. ASU 2014-10 removes the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP and it eliminates an exception provided in the consolidation guidance for development stage enterprises. The provisions of ASU 2014-10 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. When adopted, ASU 2014-10 is not expected to materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. EQUITY AND COST METHOD INVESTMENTS
We have investments that are recorded under both the equity and cost methods. These investments are considered to be an integral part of our business and are strategically and operationally important to our overall results. Our equity and cost method investment balances recorded at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2014 | | December 31, 2013 |
Equity method investments | $ | 312 |
| | $ | 320 |
|
Cost method investments | 7 |
| | 9 |
|
Total investments | $ | 319 |
| | $ | 329 |
|
Included in assets held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 is $27 million in equity method investments related to our vacation ownership business. See Note 6 for further details.
During 2013, a wholly owned Hyatt subsidiary invested $325 million in Playa Hotels & Resorts B.V. ("Playa"), a company that was formed to own, operate and develop all inclusive resorts, certain of which are or will be Hyatt-branded. Playa issued common shares and preferred shares to Hyatt in return for our investment. Our investment in common shares gave us an initial common ownership interest of 21.8%, which has been classified as an equity method investment. The investment in preferred shares has been classified as an available for sale debt security and recorded in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 4 for further discussion of our investment in preferred shares.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, a joint venture in which we hold an ownership interest and which is classified as an equity method investment sold the Hyatt Place Austin Downtown to a third party, for which we received proceeds of $28 million. This transaction resulted in a gain of $20 million, which has been recorded to equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures on our condensed consolidated statements of income. The company will continue to franchise the hotel.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $1 million and $2 million, respectively, in impairment charges in equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures related to two equity method investments.
Income from cost method investments included in other loss, net on our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 includes a $4 million preferred return.
The following table presents summarized financial information for all unconsolidated ventures in which we hold an investment that is accounted for under the equity method.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). GAAP establishes a valuation hierarchy for prioritizing the inputs that places greater emphasis on the use of observable market inputs and less emphasis on unobservable inputs. When determining fair value, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:
Level One—Fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level Two—Fair values based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in inactive markets for identical assets and liabilities, and inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
Level Three—Fair values based on inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. Valuation techniques could include the use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
We have various financial instruments that are measured at fair value including certain marketable securities. We currently do not have non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
We utilize the market approach and income approach for valuing our financial instruments. The market approach utilizes prices and information generated by market transactions involving identical or similar assets and liabilities and the income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). For instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had the following financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Our policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the end of each quarterly reporting period.
Marketable Securities
Our portfolio of marketable securities consists of various types of money market funds, mutual funds, preferred shares and fixed income securities, including U.S. government obligations, obligations of other government agencies, corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and municipal and provincial notes and bonds. The fair value of our mutual funds was classified as Level One as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. We invest a portion of our cash balance into short-term interest bearing money market funds that have a maturity of less than ninety days. Consequently, the balances are recorded in cash and cash equivalents. The funds are held with open-ended registered investment companies and the fair value of the funds is classified as Level One as we are able to obtain market available pricing information on an ongoing basis. The remaining securities, other than our investment in preferred shares, were classified as Level Two due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs being considered in the final price of the security. Market inputs include quoted market prices from active markets for identical securities, quoted market prices for identical securities in inactive markets, and quoted market prices in active and inactive markets for similar securities.
The impact to net income from total gains or losses included in net gains and interest income from marketable securities held to fund operating programs due to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to assets still held at the reporting date was insignificant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we invested $325 million in Playa as of the closing date of the transaction, of which $271 million was attributable to redeemable, convertible preferred shares. Hyatt has the option to convert its preferred shares into shares of common stock at any time through the later of the second anniversary of the closing of our investment or an initial public offering by Playa. The preferred investment is redeemable at Hyatt's option in August 2021. In the event of an initial public offering or other equity issuance, Hyatt has the option to request that Playa redeem up to $125 million of preferred shares, plus any unpaid dividends accumulated thereon. As a result, we have classified the preferred investment as an available for sale debt security, which is included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The investment is remeasured quarterly to fair value and the changes are recorded through other comprehensive income (loss).
We estimated the fair value of the Playa preferred shares using an option pricing model. This model requires that we make certain assumptions regarding the expected volatility, term, risk-free interest rate over the expected term, dividend yield and enterprise value. As Playa is not publicly traded, there is no market value for its stock. Therefore, we utilized observable data for a group of comparable peer companies to assist in developing our volatility assumptions. The expected volatility of Playa’s stock price was developed using weighted average measures of implied volatility and historic volatility for its peer group for a period equal to our expected term of the option. The weighted-average risk-free interest rate was based on a zero coupon U.S. Treasury instrument whose term was consistent with the expected term. We anticipate receiving cumulative preferred dividends on our preferred shares; therefore, the expected dividend yield was assumed to be 10% per annum compounding quarterly for two years and increasing to 12% after the second year, with such dividends to be paid-in-kind.
A summary of the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our preferred investment as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, is as follows:
|
| | | | | |
| June 30, 2014 | | December 31, 2013 |
Expected term | 1.25 years |
| | 2 years |
|
Risk-free Interest Rate | 0.20 | % | | 0.38 | % |
Volatility | 43.5 | % | | 47.7 | % |
Dividend Yield | 10 | % | | 10 | % |
Our valuation considers a number of objective and subjective factors that we believe market participants would consider, including: Playa's business and results of operations, including related industry trends affecting Playa's operations; Playa's forecasted operating performance and projected future cash flows; liquidation preferences, redemption rights, and other rights and privileges of Playa's preferred stock; and market multiples of comparable peer companies.
As of June 30, 2014, financial forecasts were used in the computation of the enterprise value using the income approach. The financial forecasts were based on assumed revenue growth rates and operating margin levels. The risks associated with achieving these forecasts were assessed in selecting the appropriate cost of
capital. There is inherent uncertainty in our assumptions, and fluctuations in these assumptions will result in different estimates of fair value. Due to the lack of availability of market data, the preferred shares are classified as Level Three. Based on the assumptions used for the six months ended June 30, 2014, the fair value of our preferred shares was $271 million and is recorded in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, resulting in a $7 million gross unrealized loss recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) as of June 30, 2014.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the cost or amortized cost value for our investment in Playa was $271 million and the fair value of this available for sale debt security was as follows:
|
| | | |
| Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) - Preferred Shares |
| 2014 |
Balance at January 1 | $ | 278 |
|
Gross unrealized losses | (2 | ) |
Balance at March 31 | 276 |
|
Gross unrealized losses | (5 | ) |
Balance at June 30 | $ | 271 |
|
There were no realized gains or losses on available for sale securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Gross realized gains and losses on available for sale securities were insignificant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Other Financial Instruments
We estimated the fair value of financing receivables using discounted cash flow analysis based on current market assumptions for similar types of arrangements. Due to the lack of availability of market data, we have classified our financing receivables as Level Three. The primary sensitivity in these calculations is based on the selection of appropriate interest and discount rates. Fluctuations in these assumptions will result in different estimates of fair value. For further information on financing receivables, see Note 5.
We estimated the fair value of debt, excluding capital leases, which, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, consisted primarily of $250 million of 3.875% senior notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes"), $196 million of 6.875% senior notes due 2019 (the "2019 Notes"), $250 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes"), and $350 million of 3.375% senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes" which, together with the 2016 Notes, the 2019 Notes, and the 2021 Notes are collectively referred to as the "Senior Notes"), bonds and other long-term debt. Our Senior Notes and bonds are classified as Level Two due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs in the final price of the security. Market inputs include quoted market prices from active markets for identical securities, quoted market prices for identical securities in inactive markets, and quoted market prices in active and inactive markets for similar securities. We estimated the fair value of our other long-term debt instruments using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. Due to the lack of availability of market data, we have classified our other long-term debt as Level Three. The primary sensitivity in these calculations is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in these assumptions will result in different estimates of fair value.

5. FINANCING RECEIVABLES
We have divided our financing receivables, which include loans and other financing arrangements, into three portfolio segments based on their initial measurement, risk characteristics and our method for monitoring or assessing credit risk. These portfolio segments correspond directly with our assessed class of receivables and are as follows:
| |
• | Secured Financing to Hotel Owners—These financing receivables are senior secured mortgage loans and are collateralized by hotel properties currently in operation. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, these loans include financing provided to certain franchisees for the renovation and conversion of certain franchised hotels. These franchisee loans accrue interest at fixed rates ranging between 5.0% and 5.5%. |
| |
• | Vacation Ownership Mortgage Receivables—These financing receivables are comprised of various mortgage loans related to our financing of vacation ownership interval sales. As of June 30, 2014, the weighted-average interest rate on vacation ownership mortgage receivables was 13.9%. As of June 30, 2014, vacation ownership mortgage receivables have been reclassed to assets held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, see Note 6. |
| |
• | Unsecured Financing to Hotel Owners—These financing receivables are primarily made up of individual unsecured loans and other types of financing arrangements provided to hotel owners. Our other financing arrangements have stated maturities and interest rates. However, the expected repayment terms may be |
dependent on the future cash flows of the hotels and these financing receivable instruments, therefore, are not considered loans as the repayment dates are not fixed or determinable. Because the other types of financing arrangements are not considered loans, we do not include them in our impaired loans analysis. Since these receivables may come due earlier than the stated maturity date, the expected maturity dates have been excluded from the maturities table below.
The three portfolio segments of financing receivables and their balances at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

Allowance for Losses and Impairments
We individually assess all loans in the secured financing to hotel owners portfolio and the unsecured financing to hotel owners portfolio for impairment. We assess the vacation ownership mortgage receivables portfolio, which consists entirely of loans, for impairment on an aggregate basis. In addition to loans, we include other types of financing arrangements in unsecured financing to hotel owners which we do not assess individually for impairment. However, we do regularly evaluate our reserves for these other financing arrangements and record provisions in the financing receivables allowance as necessary. Impairment charges for loans within all three portfolios and reserves related to our other financing arrangements are recorded as provisions in the financing receivables allowance. We consider the provisions on all of our portfolio segments to be adequate based on the economic environment and our assessment of the future collectability of the outstanding loans.
The following tables summarize the activity in our financing receivables allowance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

We routinely evaluate loans within financing receivables for impairment. To determine whether an impairment has occurred, we evaluate the collectability of both interest and principal. A loan is considered to be impaired when the Company determines that it is probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms. We do not recognize interest income for impaired loans unless cash is received, in which case the payment is recorded to other loss, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not record any impairment charges for loans to hotel owners.
An analysis of our loans included in secured financing to hotel owners and unsecured financing to hotel owners had the following impaired amounts at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of which had a related allowance recorded against them:

Credit Monitoring
On an ongoing basis, we monitor the credit quality of our financing receivables based on payment activity.
| |
• | Past-due Receivables—We determine financing receivables to be past-due based on the contractual terms of each individual financing receivable agreement. |
| |
• | Non-Performing Receivables—Receivables are determined to be non-performing based upon the following criteria: (1) if interest or principal is more than 90 days past due for secured financing to hotel owners and unsecured financing to hotel owners; (2) if interest or principal is more than 120 days past due for vacation ownership mortgage receivables; or (3) if an impairment charge has been recorded for a loan or a provision established for our other financing arrangements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, no interest income was accrued for secured financing to hotel owners and unsecured financing to hotel owners more than 90 days past due or for vacation ownership receivables more than 120 days past due. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, insignificant interest income was accrued for vacation ownership receivables past due more than 90 days but less than 120 days. |
If a financing receivable is non-performing, we place the financing receivable on non-accrual status. We only recognize interest income when cash is received for financing receivables on non-accrual status. Accrual of interest income is resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collection doubts are removed.
The following tables summarize our aged analysis of past-due financing receivables by portfolio segment, the gross balance of financing receivables greater than 90 days past-due and the gross balance of financing receivables on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

* Certain of these receivables have been placed on non-accrual status and we have recorded allowances for these receivables based on estimates of future cash flows available for payment of these financing receivables. However, a majority of these payments are not past due.
6. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
We continually assess strategic acquisitions and dispositions to complement our current business.
Acquisitions
Grand Hyatt San Antonio—We previously held a 30% interest and had recorded a $7 million investment in the entity which owns the Grand Hyatt San Antonio hotel prior to acquisition. Accordingly, we accounted for the investment as an unconsolidated hospitality venture under the equity method. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we purchased the remaining 70% interest in this entity for $16 million and the repayment of $44 million of mezzanine debt that was held at the hospitality venture prior to our acquisition. This transaction has been accounted for as a step acquisition, which resulted in a $1 million loss on our previously held investment. As of June 30, 2014, we have recorded revisions to our initial purchase price allocation.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are primarily recorded in our owned and leased hotels segment at the date of acquisition (in millions):
|

Deferred tax liability | 2 |
|
Long-term debt, net of bond discount | 186 |
|
Total liabilities | 199 |
|
Total net assets acquired | $ | 66 |
|
The purchase price allocation for this acquisition created goodwill of $7 million at the date of acquisition. The goodwill is recorded within our owned and leased hotels segment. In conjunction with the acquisition, we have $12 million of goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes. The definite lived intangibles are comprised of $9 million of lease related intangibles and $1 million of advanced bookings. The lease related intangibles will be amortized over a weighted-average useful life of 79 years and the advanced bookings will be amortized over a useful life of 4 years. As a result of our completion of this step acquisition, we recorded a $2 million reduction to our existing deferred tax asset related to Grand Hyatt San Antonio, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $5 million, which relates primarily to property and equipment and intangibles. As part of the acquisition, we assumed outstanding Tax-Exempt Contract Revenue Empowerment Zone Bonds, Series 2005A and Contract Revenue Bonds, Senior Taxable Series 2005B, see Note 8.
The Driskill—During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we acquired The Driskill hotel in Austin, Texas ("The Driskill") for a purchase price of approximately $85 million. The Driskill has a long-standing presence in a market which we view as a key location for our guests. Due to the iconic nature of the hotel and its membership in the Historic Hotels of America and Associated Luxury Hotels International, we have chosen to retain The Driskill name. Of the total $85 million purchase price, significant assets acquired consist of $72 million of property and equipment, a $7 million indefinite lived brand intangible, a $5 million management intangible and $1 million of other assets which have been included primarily in our owned and leased hotels segment.
Dispositions
Hyatt, Hyatt Place, Hyatt House 2014—During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold nine select service properties and one full service property for a combined $311 million, net of closing costs, to an unrelated third party. As part of the sale, we transferred cash and cash equivalents of $3 million upon disposition, resulting in a net sales price of $308 million. This transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $62 million. The
properties will remain Hyatt-branded hotels for a minimum of 25 years under long-term agreements. The gain has been recognized in gains on sales of real estate on our condensed consolidated statements of income during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The operating results and financial position of these hotels prior to the sale remain within our owned and leased hotels segment. See "Like-Kind Exchange Agreements" below, as proceeds from the sale have been used in a like-kind exchange.
Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf—During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we sold Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf for $100 million, net of closing costs, to an unrelated third party, and entered into a long-term franchise agreement with the owner of the property. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $55 million, which has been recognized in gains on sales of real estate on our condensed consolidated statements of income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The operating results and financial position of this hotel prior to the sale remain within our owned and leased hotels segment. See "Like-Kind Exchange Agreements" below, as proceeds from the sale of Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf have been used in a like-kind exchange.
Hyatt Santa Barbara—During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we sold Hyatt Santa Barbara for $60 million, net of closing costs, to an unrelated third party, and entered into a long-term franchise agreement with the owner of the property. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $44 million, which has been recognized in gains on sales of real estate on our condensed consolidated statements of income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The operating results and financial position of this hotel prior to the sale remain within our owned and leased hotels segment.
Hyatt Place 2013—During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold three Hyatt Place properties for a combined $36 million, net of closing costs, to an unrelated third party, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $2 million. These properties had been classified as assets and liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2012. The Company retained long-term management agreements for each hotel with the purchaser of the hotels. The gain on sale has been deferred and is being recognized in management and franchise fees over the term of the management contracts within our Americas management and franchising segment. The operations of the hotels prior to the sale remain within our owned and leased hotels segment. See "Like-Kind Exchange Agreements", below, as proceeds from the sale of two of the three properties were held as restricted for use in a potential like-kind exchange.
Artwork—During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we sold artwork to an unrelated third party and recognized a pre-tax gain of $29 million which was recognized in other loss, net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. See "Like-Kind Exchange Agreements" below, as proceeds from the sale of artwork were held as restricted for use in a potential like-kind exchange.
Like-Kind Exchange Agreements
Periodically, we enter into like-kind exchange agreements upon the disposition of certain hotels. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the proceeds from the sales are placed into an escrow account administered by an intermediary. The proceeds are recorded to restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and released once they are utilized as part of a like-kind exchange agreement or when a like-kind exchange agreement is not consummated within the allowable time period.
In conjunction with the sale of nine select service properties and one full service property during the six months ended June 30, 2014, we entered into a like-kind exchange agreement with an intermediary for seven of the select service hotels. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded and released net proceeds of $232 million from restricted cash as they were utilized as part of the like-kind exchange agreement to acquire the Hyatt Regency Orlando.
In conjunction with the sale of Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf in the second quarter of 2013 and the sale of Hyatt Key West in the fourth quarter of 2013, we entered into like-kind exchange agreements with an intermediary. Accordingly, we classified the net proceeds from the sales of Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf and Hyatt Key West of $100 million and $74 million, respectively, as restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the proceeds from Hyatt Key West were released from restricted cash. In 2013, but subsequent to June 30, 2013, the proceeds from Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf were released from restricted cash. The proceeds from each were utilized as part of the like-kind exchange agreement to acquire the Hyatt Regency Orlando.
In conjunction with the 2013 sale of two Hyatt Place properties and the 2012 sale of four Hyatt Place properties, we entered into like-kind exchange agreements with an intermediary. Pursuant to the like-kind exchange agreement, the net proceeds of $23 million from the 2013 sales and $44 million from the 2012 sales were placed into an escrow account administered by an intermediary. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we released the net proceeds of $44 million from the 2012 sales, as a like-kind exchange was not consummated within allowable time periods.
In conjunction with the second quarter 2013 sale of artwork, we placed proceeds received into restricted cash pursuant to a like-kind exchange agreement administered by an intermediary.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
During the second quarter of 2014, we announced a definitive agreement for the sale of Hyatt Residential Group for approximately $190 million and the sale of our interest in a joint venture that owns and is developing a vacation ownership property in Maui, Hawaii for approximately $35 million. After consummation of the sale transaction, we expect to receive recurring annual license fees under a master license agreement with the purchaser. The Hyatt Residence Club and the vacation ownership resorts will retain the Hyatt Residence Club brand. We anticipate this transaction will close in 2014, and have classified the related assets and liabilities as held for sale at June 30, 2014. Of these assets and liabilities, $163 million and $30 million, respectively, were recorded within our corporate and other segment. The remaining $12 million of assets and $1 million of liabilities were recorded in our owned and leased hotels segment.
The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities related to Hyatt Residential Group that are held for sale (in millions):

7. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
We review the carrying value of our goodwill and indefinite lived brand intangible during our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter or at an interim date if indications of impairment exist by performing either a qualitative or quantitative assessment. We define a reporting unit at the individual property or business level. When determining fair value, we utilize internally developed discounted future cash flow models, third party appraisals and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. We then compare the estimated fair value to our carrying value. If the carrying value of our goodwill is in excess of the fair value, we must determine our implied fair value of goodwill to evaluate if any impairment charge is necessary. If the carrying value of our indefinite lived brand intangible is in excess of the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, no impairment charges were recorded related to goodwill or our indefinite lived brand intangible asset. Goodwill was $136 million and $147 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, we classified $4 million of goodwill related to Hyatt Residential Group, recorded within our corporate and other segment, as assets held for sale on our
condensed consolidated balance sheets, see Note 6. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, we revised our purchase price allocation related to the acquisition of Grand Hyatt San Antonio, resulting in a $7 million decrease in goodwill recorded within our owned and leased hotels segment, see Note 6. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our indefinite lived brand intangible acquired as part of the 2013 acquisition of The Driskill was $7 million, see Note 6.
Definite lived intangible assets primarily include contract acquisition costs, franchise and management intangibles, lease related intangibles and advanced bookings intangibles. Contract acquisition costs and franchise and management intangibles are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over their contract terms, which range from approximately 5 to 40 years and 20 to 30 years, respectively. Lease related intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Advanced bookings are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the advanced bookings. Definite lived intangibles are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges related to definite lived intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The following is a summary of intangible assets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
|

8. DEBT
Long-term debt, net of current maturities, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $1,298 million and $1,289 million, respectively.
Capital Lease Obligation - During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress for $191 million after exercising our purchase option. This purchase reduced our capital lease obligation, which was recorded in current maturities of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013. The purchase of the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress may be used as a replacement property in a potential like-kind exchange.
Floating Average Rate Construction Loan - During the year ended December 31, 2012, we obtained a secured construction loan with Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social - BNDES (“BNDES”) in order to develop a hotel in Brazil. The loan is split into four separate sub-loans with different interest rates for each sub-loan. All four sub-loans mature in 2023, with options to extend the maturity up to 2031 for sub-loan (a) and (b), subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. Borrowings under the four sub-loans bear interest at the following rates, depending on the applicable sub-loan (a) the variable rate published by BNDES plus 2.92%, (b) the Brazilian Long Term Interest Rate - TJLP plus 3.92%, (c) 2.5% and (d) the Brazilian Long Term Interest Rate - TJLP, with the
interest rates referred to in sub-loans (a) and (b) subject to reduction upon the delivery of certain certifications. As of June 30, 2014, the weighted-average interest rates for the sub-loans that we had drawn upon as of that date was 8.50%. The outstanding balance of the sub-loan subject to the interest rate described in (a) above is subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on BNDES’s calculation of the weighted average of exchange rate variations related to foreign currency funds raised by BNDES in foreign currency. As of June 30, 2014, we had borrowed Brazilian Real ("BRL") 106 million (USD $48 million), against this construction loan, of which BRL 20 million (USD $9 million) had not yet been utilized in construction and was therefore held in restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2013, we had borrowed BRL 75 million (USD $32 million) against this construction loan, of which BRL 37 million (USD $16 million) had not yet been utilized in construction and was therefore held in restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Revolving Credit Facility— As of January 6, 2014, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders that amended and restated our prior revolving credit facility and provides for a $1.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in January 2019. Interest rates on outstanding borrowings are either LIBOR-based or based on an alternate base rate, with margins in each case based on our credit rating or, in certain circumstances, our credit rating and leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2014, the interest rate for a one month LIBOR borrowing would have been 1.4052%, or LIBOR of 0.1552%, plus 1.25%. There was no outstanding balance on this credit facility at June 30, 2014 or on the prior credit facility at December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had entered into various letter of credit agreements for $60 million and $104 million, respectively, which reduced our available capacity under the revolving credit facility. The available line of credit on our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2014 was $1.4 billion.
The Company also has a total of $65 million and $21 million of letters of credit issued through additional banks as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Tax-Exempt Contract Revenue Empowerment Zone Bonds, Series 2005A and Contract Revenue Bonds, Senior Taxable Series 2005B —During the year ended December 31, 2013, we acquired our partner's interest in the entity that owns the Grand Hyatt San Antonio hotel, and as a result, we recorded $198 million of bonds, net of the $9 million bond discount, which will be amortized over the life of the bond. The construction was financed in part by The City of San Antonio, Texas Convention Center Hotel Finance Corporation ("Texas Corporation"), a non-profit local government corporation created by the City of San Antonio, Texas for the purpose of providing financing for a portion of the costs of constructing the hotel. On June 8, 2005, the Texas Corporation issued $130 million of original principal amount Tax-Exempt Contract Revenue Empowerment Zone Bonds, Series 2005A ("Series 2005A Bonds") and $78 million of original principal amount Contract Revenue Bonds, Senior Taxable Series 2005B ("Series 2005B Bonds" and together with the Series 2005A Bonds, the "2005 Series Bonds"). The Series 2005A Bonds mature between 2034 and 2039, with interest ranging from 4.75% to 5.00% and the remaining $69 million of Series 2005B Bonds mature between 2014 and 2028, with interest ranging from 4.87% to 5.31%. The loan payments are required to be funded solely from net operating revenues of the Grand Hyatt San Antonio hotel and in the event that net operating revenues are not sufficient to pay debt service, the Texas Corporation under certain circumstances will be required to provide certain tax revenue to pay debt service on the 2005 Series Bonds. The indenture allows for optional early redemption of the Series 2005B Bonds subject to make-whole payments at any time with consent from the Texas Corporation and beginning in 2015 for the Series 2005A Bonds. Interest is payable semi-annually.
Senior Notes—During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we issued and sold $350 million 3.375% Senior Notes due July 15, 2023 at a public offering price of 99.498%. We received net proceeds of $345 million from the sale of the 2023 Notes, after deducting underwriters' discounts and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds to pay the redemption price (as defined below) in connection with the redemption of the 2015 Notes and to repurchase the 2019 Notes tendered in the cash tender offer, with any remaining proceeds intended to be used for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2014.
Debt Redemption—During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we redeemed all of our outstanding 2015 Notes, of which an aggregate principal amount of $250 million was outstanding. The redemption price, which was calculated in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Notes and included principal plus a make-whole premium, was $278 million.
After the issuance of our 2015 Notes, we entered into eight $25 million interest rate swap contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we terminated four of the eight interest rate swap contracts, for which we received cash payments of $8 million to settle the fair value of the swaps. The cash received from the termination of the four swaps was being amortized from the settlement date as a benefit to interest expense over the remaining
term of the 2015 Notes. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 we settled the remaining four outstanding interest rate swap agreements. At the time the 2015 Notes were redeemed, we recognized a gain of $7 million, which included the remaining unamortized benefit from the settlement of the initial four swaps during 2012 of $5 million and a gain on the remaining four swaps of $2 million that were terminated in 2013 in anticipation of the 2015 Notes redemption. The gain is included within debt settlement costs in other loss, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Tender Offer—During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we completed a cash tender offer (the "cash tender offer") for any and all of our 2019 Notes, of which an aggregate principal amount of $250 million was outstanding. We purchased $54 million aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes in the cash tender offer at a purchase price of $66 million, which included premiums payable in connection with the cash tender offer. Following the cash tender offer, $196 million aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes remains outstanding.
9. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, were 37.8% and 33.2%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, were 34.7% and 29.7% respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the impact of our earnings to locations with higher tax rates, partially offset by a benefit of $4 million (including $2 million of interest and penalties) related to the expiration of statutes of limitations in certain foreign locations and a benefit of $2 million related to the settlement of tax audits. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the above-mentioned items, as well as a $4 million benefit for the release of a valuation allowance of a foreign subsidiary and a benefit of $2 million related to a state legislative change enacted in the first quarter of 2014.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to a benefit of $4 million (including $2 million of interest and penalties) related to the expiration of statutes of limitations in certain foreign locations and a benefit of $2 million with respect to foreign currency fluctuations on uncertain tax positions. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to a $4 million benefit for an adjustment to certain deferred tax assets that should have been recorded in prior periods, a benefit of $4 million (including $2 million of interest and penalties) related to the expiration of statutes of limitations in certain foreign locations, a benefit of $3 million (including $1 million interest) related to the settlement of tax audits, and a benefit of $2 million with respect to foreign currency fluctuations related to uncertain tax positions.
The unrecognized tax benefits were $48 million and $53 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, of which $23 million and $27 million, respectively, would impact the effective tax rate if recognized.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various commitments, guarantees, surety bonds, and letter of credit agreements, which are discussed below:
Commitments—As of June 30, 2014, we are committed, under certain conditions, to lend or invest up to $425 million, net of any related letters of credit, in various business ventures.
Included in the $425 million in commitments is our share of a hospitality venture’s commitment to purchase a hotel within a to-be completed building in New York City for a total purchase price of $381 million. The hospitality venture will be funded upon the purchase of the hotel, and our share of the purchase price commitment is 66.67% (or approximately $254 million). In accordance with the purchase agreement, we agreed to fund a $50 million letter of credit as security towards this future purchase obligation. The agreement stipulates that the purchase of the completed property is contingent upon the completion of certain contractual milestones. The $50 million funded letter of credit is included as part of our total letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2014, and therefore netted against our future commitments amount disclosed above. For further discussion, see the "Letters of Credit" section of this footnote.
Performance Guarantees—Certain of our contractual arrangements with third party owners require us to guarantee payments to the owners if specified levels of operating profit are not achieved by their hotels.
In connection with the inception of a performance guarantee, we recognize a liability for the fair value of our guarantee obligation within other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets with an offset to contract acquisition cost intangible assets. Upon commencement of the guarantee period, we begin to amortize the guarantee liability using a systematic and rational risk-based approach over the term of the respective performance guarantee. Under these agreements, we recorded a guarantee liability of $119 million, net of amortization and using exchange rates as of June 30, 2014. Of the total $119 million guarantee liability, $114 million relates to four hotels in France. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we amortized $2 million and $4 million, respectively, of these liabilities recorded as income in other loss, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $4 million in income and $13 million in expenses, respectively, related to these agreements in other loss, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2014, we have recorded a $3 million receivable related to these performance guarantee agreements. The remaining maximum potential payments related to these agreements are $543 million, which primarily includes a maximum guarantee of €377 million (USD $514 million using exchange rates as of June 30, 2014) related to four hotels in France, which has a term of 7 years and does not have an annual cap.
Additionally, we enter into certain management contracts where we have the right, but not an obligation, to make payments to certain hotel owners if their hotels do not achieve specified levels of operating profit. If we choose not to fund the shortfall, the hotel owner has the option to terminate the management contract. As of June 30, 2014, there were no amounts recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities related to these performance test clauses.
Debt Repayment Guarantees—We have entered into various debt repayment guarantees related to our hospitality venture investments in certain properties. The maximum exposure under these agreements as of June 30, 2014 was $277 million. As of June 30, 2014, we had an $8 million liability representing the carrying value of these guarantees. Included within the $277 million in debt guarantees are the following:
|
| | | | | | | | |
Property Description | | Maximum Guarantee Amount | | Amount Recorded at June 30, 2014 |
Vacation ownership development | | $ | 110 |
| | $ | — |

Other | | 22 |
| | — |
|
Total Debt Repayment Guarantees | | $ | 277 |
| | $ | 8 |
|
With respect to repayment guarantees related to certain hospitality venture properties, the Company has agreements with its respective partners that require each partner to pay a pro-rata portion of the guarantee amount based on each partner’s ownership percentage. Assuming successful enforcement of these agreements our maximum exposure under the various debt repayment guarantees as of June 30, 2014 would be $151 million.
Self Insurance—The Company obtains commercial insurance for potential losses for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability, employment practices, crime, property and other miscellaneous coverages. A reasonable amount of risk is retained on a self insurance basis primarily through a U.S. based and licensed captive insurance company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and generally insures our deductibles and retentions. Reserve requirements are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. Losses estimated to be paid within 12 months are $28 million as of June 30, 2014, and are classified within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, while losses expected to be payable in later periods are $57 million as of June 30, 2014, and are included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2014, standby letters of credit amounting to $7 million had
been issued to provide collateral for the estimated claims. We guarantee the letters of credit. For further discussion, see the “Letters of Credit” section of this footnote.
Surety Bonds—Surety bonds issued on our behalf or guaranteed by us totaled $98 million at June 30, 2014 and primarily relate to workers’ compensation, taxes, construction, licenses, and utilities related to our lodging operations.
Letters of Credit—Letters of credit outstanding on our behalf as of June 30, 2014 totaled $125 million, the majority of which relate to our ongoing operations. Of the $125 million letters of credit outstanding, $60 million reduces the available capacity under our revolving credit facility.
Capital Expenditures—As part of our ongoing business operations, significant expenditures are required to complete renovation projects that have been approved.
Other —We act as general partner of various partnerships that own hotel properties subject to mortgage indebtedness. These mortgage agreements generally limit the lender’s recourse to security interests in the assets financed and/or other assets of the partnership(s) and/or the general partner(s) thereof.
In conjunction with financing obtained for our unconsolidated hospitality ventures, we may provide standard indemnifications to the lender for loss, liability or damage occurring as a result of our actions or actions of the other hospitality venture owners.
We are subject, from time to time, to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, and environmental matters, as well as commitments under contractual obligations. Many of these claims are covered under current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. We reasonably recognize a liability associated with commitments and contingencies when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined at this point, based on information currently available, we do not expect that the ultimate resolution of such claims and litigation will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Share Repurchase—During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $300 million of the Company's common stock, in addition to the authorizations to repurchase $400 million of the Company's common stock in 2013 and $200 million in 2012. These repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, at prices that the Company deems appropriate and subject to market
conditions, applicable law and other factors deemed relevant in the Company's sole discretion. The common stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company repurchased 2,735,798 and 5,433,587 shares of common stock, respectively. These shares were repurchased at a weighted average price of $54.92 and $41.13 per share, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $150 million and $223 million, respectively, excluding related expenses that were insignificant in both periods. Of the $150 million aggregate purchase price during the six months ended June 30, 2014, $149 million was settled in cash during the period. The shares repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2014 represented approximately 2% of the Company's total shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2013. The shares repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2013 represented approximately 3% of the Company's total shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2012. The shares of Class A common stock that were repurchased on the open market were retired and returned to authorized and unissued status while the shares of Class B common stock that were repurchased were retired and the total number of authorized Class B shares was reduced by the number of shares repurchased. As of June 30, 2014, we had $338 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization.
12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As part of our long-term incentive plan, we award Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs"), Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") and Performance Vested Restricted Stock ("PSSs") to certain employees. Compensation expense and unearned compensation figures within this note exclude amounts related to employees of our managed hotels as this expense has been and will continue to be reimbursed by our third party hotel owners and is recorded on the lines other revenues from managed properties and other costs from managed properties on our condensed consolidated statements of income. Compensation expense related to these awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |

|
Stock Appreciation Rights—Each vested SAR gives the holder the right to the difference between the value of one share of our Class A common stock at the exercise date and the value of one share of our Class A common stock at the grant date. Vested SARs can be exercised over their life as determined by the plan. All SARs have a 10-year contractual term and are settled in shares of our Class A common stock. The Company is accounting for these SARs as equity instruments.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 327,307 SARs to employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $22.57. The fair value of each SAR was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-valuation model.
Restricted Stock Units—The Company grants both RSUs that may be settled in stock and RSUs that may be settled in cash. Each vested stock-settled RSU will be settled with a single share of our Class A common stock. The value of the stock-settled RSUs was based on the closing stock price of our Class A common stock as of the grant date. We record compensation expense earned for RSUs on a straight-line basis from the date of grant. In certain situations we also grant cash-settled RSUs which are recorded as a liability instrument. The liability and related expense for cash-settled RSUs are insignificant as of, and for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted a total of 376,328 RSUs (an insignificant portion of which are cash-settled RSUs) to employees which, with respect to stock-settled RSUs, had a weighted average grant date fair value of $49.39.
Performance Vested Restricted Stock—The Company has granted PSSs to certain executive officers. The number of PSSs that will ultimately vest with no further restrictions on transfer depends upon the performance of the Company at the end of the applicable three year performance period relative to the applicable performance target. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted to its executive officers a total of 162,906
PSSs, which vest in full if the maximum performance metric is achieved. At the end of the performance period, the PSSs that do not vest will be forfeited. The PSSs had a weighted average grant date fair value of $49.39. The performance period is three years beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016. The PSSs will vest at the end of the performance period only if the performance threshold is met; there is no interim performance metric.
Our total unearned compensation for our stock-based compensation programs as of June 30, 2014 was $16 million for SARs, $36 million for RSUs and $6 million for PSSs, which will be recorded to compensation expense primarily over the next four years with respect to SARs and RSUs, with a limited portion of the RSU awards extending to six years, and over the next two years with respect to PSSs.
13. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In addition to those included elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, related-party transactions entered into by us are summarized as follows:
Leases—Our corporate headquarters has been located at the Hyatt Center in Chicago, Illinois, since 2005. A subsidiary of the Company holds a master lease for a portion of the Hyatt Center and has entered into sublease agreements with certain related parties. Future sublease income from sublease agreements with related parties under our master lease is $8 million.
Legal Services—A partner in a law firm that provided services to us throughout the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is the brother-in-law of our Executive Chairman. We incurred $1 million and insignificant legal fees with this firm for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We incurred $2 million and $1 million in legal fees with this firm for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Legal fees, when expensed, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $1 million and insignificant amounts due to the law firm, respectively.
Other Services—A member of our Board of Directors is a partner in a firm whose affiliates own hotels from which we recorded management and franchise fees of $2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $1 million in receivables due from these properties.
Equity Method Investments—We have equity method investments in entities that own properties for which we provide management and/or franchise services and receive fees. We recorded fees of $9 million and $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We recorded fees of $16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had receivables due from these properties of $12 million and $7 million, respectively. In addition, in some cases we provide loans (see Note 5) or guarantees (see Note 10) to these entities. Our ownership interest in these equity method investments generally varies from 8% to 70%.
Share Repurchase—During 2013, we repurchased 2,906,879 shares of Class B common stock at a weighted average price of $41.36 per a share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $120 million. The shares repurchased represented approximately 2% of the Company's total shares of common stock outstanding prior to the repurchase. The shares of Class B common stock were repurchased from trusts held for the benefit of certain Pritzker family members in privately-negotiated transactions and were retired, thereby reducing the total number of shares outstanding and reducing the shares of Class B common stock authorized and outstanding by the repurchased share amount.
14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our operating segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Our chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. We define our reportable segments as follows:
| |
• | Owned and Leased Hotels—This segment derives its earnings from owned and leased hotel properties located predominantly in the United States but also in certain international locations and for purposes of segment Adjusted EBITDA, includes our pro rata share of the Adjusted EBITDA of our unconsolidated hospitality ventures, based on our ownership percentage of each venture. |
| |
• | Americas Management and Franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management and licensing of our family of brands to franchisees located in the U.S., Latin America, Canada and the Caribbean. This segment’s revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed hotel property owners and franchisees with no added margin. These costs relate primarily to payroll costs at managed properties where the Company is the employer. These revenues and costs are recorded on the lines other revenues from managed properties and other costs from managed properties, respectively. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees that are collected from the Company’s owned hotels, which are eliminated in consolidation. |
| |
• | ASPAC Management and Franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management and licensing of our family of brands to franchisees located in Southeast Asia, as well as China, Australia, South Korea and Japan. This segment’s revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed hotel property owners and franchisees with no added margin. These costs relate primarily to reservations, marketing and IT costs. These revenues and costs are recorded on the lines other revenues from managed properties and other costs from managed properties, respectively. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees that are collected from the Company’s owned hotels, which are eliminated in consolidation. |
| |
• | EAME/SW Asia Management—This segment derives its earnings primarily from hotel management of our family of brands located primarily in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and India, as well as countries along the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea. This segment’s revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed hotel property owners with no added margin. These costs relate primarily to reservations, marketing and IT costs. These revenues and costs are recorded on the lines other revenues from managed properties and other costs from managed properties, respectively. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees that are collected from the Company’s owned hotels, which are eliminated in consolidation. |
Our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance based on each segment’s Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus our pro-rata share of unconsolidated hospitality ventures Adjusted EBITDA before equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures; asset impairments; gains on sales of real estate; other loss, net; net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; depreciation and amortization; interest expense; and provision for income taxes.
The table below shows summarized consolidated financial information by segment. Included within corporate and other are unallocated corporate expenses, revenues and expenses on our vacation ownership properties, and the results of our co-branded credit card.

(a) | In conjunction with our regular assessment of impairment indicators in the second quarter of 2014, we identified property and equipment whose carrying value exceeded its fair value and as a result recorded a $7 million impairment charge to asset impairments on our condensed consolidated statements of income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. During the second quarter of 2013, we classified a property as held for sale. We conducted an analysis to determine if our carrying value was greater than fair value based on the expected sales price at that time. As a result of this assessment we recorded a $3 million impairment charge to asset impairments on our condensed consolidated statements of income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. In conjunction with our regular assessment of impairment indicators in the first quarter of 2013, we identified property and equipment whose carrying value exceeded its fair value and as a result recorded an $8 million impairment charge to asset impairments on our condensed consolidated statements of income in the six months ended June 30, 2013. |

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

Executive Overview
We are a global hospitality company engaged in the management, franchising, ownership and development of hotels under the Hyatt portfolio of brands, resorts and residential and vacation ownership properties around the world. As of June 30, 2014, our worldwide property portfolio consisted of 563 properties (149,640 rooms and units), including:
| |
• | 237 managed properties (80,056 rooms), all of which we operate under management agreements with third-party property owners; |
| |
• | 183 franchised properties (31,245 rooms), all of which are owned by third parties that have franchise agreements with us and are operated by third parties; |
| |
• | 79 owned properties (24,047 rooms) (including 1 consolidated hospitality venture), 1 capital leased property (171 rooms), and 7 operating leased properties (2,410 rooms), all of which we manage; |
| |
• | 19 managed properties and 9 franchised properties owned or leased by unconsolidated hospitality ventures (8,637 rooms); |
| |
• | 2 all inclusive resorts (926 rooms), both of which are owned by an unconsolidated hospitality venture that have franchise agreements with us and are operated by the unconsolidated hospitality venture; |
| |
• | 15 vacation ownership properties (963 units), all of which we manage; and |
| |
• | 11 residential properties (1,185 units), all of which we manage and some of which we own. |
We report our consolidated operations in U.S. dollars and manage our business within four reportable segments as described below:
| |
• | Owned and leased hotels, which consists of our owned and leased full service and select service hotels and, for purposes of segment Adjusted EBITDA, our pro rata share of the Adjusted EBITDA of our unconsolidated hospitality ventures, based on our ownership percentage of each venture; |
| |
• | Americas management and franchising, which consists of our management and franchising of properties located in the United States, Latin America, Canada and the Caribbean; |
| |
• | ASPAC management and franchising, which consists of our management and franchising of properties located in Southeast Asia, as well as China, Australia, South Korea, and Japan; and |
| |
• | EAME/SW Asia management, which consists of our management of properties located primarily in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and India, as well as countries along the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea. |
The results of our vacation ownership business, Hyatt co-branded credit card, and unallocated corporate overhead are reported within corporate and other. See Note 14 for further discussion of our segment structure.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we announced a definitive agreement for the sale of Hyatt Residential Group for approximately $190 million and the sale of our interest in a joint venture that owns and is developing a vacation ownership property in Maui, Hawaii for approximately $35 million. After consummation of the sale transaction, we expect to receive recurring annual license fees under a master license agreement with the purchaser. The Hyatt Residence Club and the vacation ownership resorts will retain the Hyatt Residence Club brand. We anticipate this transaction will close in 2014.
In the three months ended June 30, 2014, we continued to expand our global footprint with the opening of the Park Hyatt Vienna, the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Austria, the opening of the first Hyatt Place hotel in Southern China, and the opening of Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills, the first Andaz hotel in Japan. We also announced future plans for seven new select service hotels in Latin America, the Hyatt City of Dreams Manila, Philippines, and the development of a new hotel as part of a historic castle in Germany.
Our financial performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 reflects an increase in our consolidated revenues of $66 million, or 6%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Owned and leased hotels revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased by $20 million compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, which includes a net favorable currency impact of $5 million. The increase in owned and leased hotels revenue was primarily due to our comparable hotels, which had revenue increases of $15 million, largely driven by full service hotels in the Americas which benefited from improvements in transient rate. The remaining increase was attributable to our non-comparable hotels, which had revenue increases of $5 million.
Our management and franchise fees for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased $7 million compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, including $1 million in net unfavorable currency impact. Fee increases were primarily due to increased base management and franchise fees from new and converted hotels and strong RevPAR growth. Incentive fees from existing hotels in the Americas management and franchising segment also improved. The increase was also driven by increases in other fee revenues, primarily from termination fees. These increases were partially offset by decreased incentive fee revenues in the EAME/SW Asia management segment from four of our managed hotels in France.
Our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 increased by $19 million compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 was driven primarily by the Americas management and franchising segment and our owned and leased hotels segment which had Adjusted EBITDA increases of $17 million and $12 million, respectively. Corporate and other segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $3 million. These increases were partially offset by Adjusted EBITDA decreases in the EAME/SW Asia management segment and ASPAC management and franchising segment, which decreased $10 million and $3 million, respectively. See "—Non-
GAAP Measure Reconciliation" below, for an explanation of how we use Adjusted EBITDA, why we present it and material limitations on its usefulness.
Comparable full service RevPAR within our Americas management and franchising business increased 5.6% (6.3% excluding the unfavorable effects of currency) during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. The improvement in RevPAR was primarily driven by transient average daily rate increases. Group booking activity increased during the quarter, representing the fifth consecutive quarter of at least high single digit year over year increases. Group bookings continue to reflect strength, both short and long-term, due to increased demand from corporate and association groups. Comparable select service RevPAR within our Americas management and franchising business increased 8.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by increased average daily rates.
Our ASPAC management and franchising business had an increase in comparable RevPAR of 3.6% (5.1% excluding the unfavorable effects of currency) for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Excluding the unfavorable currency impacts, the increase in RevPAR was primarily driven by increased occupancy in parts of China and improved average daily rates in Japan and Australia.
Our EAME/SW Asia management business had comparable RevPAR growth of 3.8% (3.9% excluding the unfavorable effects of currency) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. Excluding the unfavorable currency impacts, the increases in RevPAR were driven by improved average daily rates, primarily in the Middle East, as well as improved RevPAR in parts of Western and Southern Europe, and were partially offset by RevPAR decreases in Eastern Europe due to political instability.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding the impact of the rabbi trust, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 decreased $1 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower professional fee costs.
Other loss, net improved $15 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. Included in the $15 million increase is a $5 million increase in performance guarantee income, of which $3 million is driven by four of our managed hotels in France. We recorded performance guarantee income to other loss, net as we are still below the specified operating profit threshold through the six months ended June 30, 2014. We began to manage these hotels in 2013 during the seasonally strong second quarter, and as a result started above the operating profit threshold and recorded $10 million in incentive fees in our EAME/SW Asia management segment in the three months ended June 30, 2013. During 2014 we do not expect to recognize any incentive fees relating to these hotels and expect to pay a net amount of approximately €15 million under the guarantee for the year.
As of June 30, 2014, we had $553 million in cash and cash equivalents and investments in highly-rated money market funds. At June 30, 2014, we had available credit facilities with banks for various corporate purposes. The amount of undrawn borrowing availability as of June 30, 2014 was approximately $1.4 billion.

Revenues. Consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $66 million, or 6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, which included $4 million in net favorable foreign currency impacts, and a $37 million increase in other revenues from managed properties. Consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $165 million, or 8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, which included $4 million in net favorable foreign currency impacts, and a $65 million increase in other revenues from managed properties.
Other revenues from managed properties includes an increase in gains of $4 million and a decrease in gains of $1 million resulting from changes in the underlying assets for our benefit programs funded through a rabbi trust for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. These gains are offset in other costs from managed properties, thus having no net impact to our earnings. Excluding these amounts, other revenues from managed properties increased $33 million, or 8%, in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 and increased $66 million, or 8%, in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. These increases in other revenues from managed properties were due to a higher volume of reimbursements paid to us by our managed properties, which was driven in part by owned hotels that have been sold subject to long-term management agreements and new hotels opened in 2014 and 2013.
Owned and leased hotels revenues increased $20 million and $76 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Comparable owned and leased hotels revenue increased $15 million and $34 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, which includes net favorable foreign currency impacts of $5 million and $6 million, respectively. The increases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, were driven by comparable full service hotels in the Americas, which benefited primarily from higher transient average daily rates. The six months ended June 30, 2014 also benefited from increased group demand as compared to the same period in the prior year. Non-
comparable owned and leased hotels revenue increased $5 million and $42 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. These increases were driven by three full service hotels and two select service hotels newly opened or acquired in 2013 and 2014. These increases were partially offset by 11 hotels sold in 2013 and 10 hotels sold and two hotels that were consolidated into one hotel in 2014. Non-comparable owned and leased hotels revenue increased less in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to the sale of nine select service and one full service property in the first quarter of 2014.
Management and franchise fees increased $7 million and $21 million during the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2014, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year, which includes $1 million and $2 million in net unfavorable currency impacts, respectively.
Included in consolidated management and franchise fees for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were base management fees of $48 million, a 12% increase from the prior year comparative period, incentive management fees of $28 million, a 20% decrease from the prior year comparative period, franchise fees of $17 million, a 42% increase from the prior year comparative period, and other fee revenues of $10 million, a 67% increase from the prior year comparative period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, consolidated management and franchise fees includes base management fees of $89 million, an 11% increase from the prior year comparative period, incentive management fees of $55 million, an 8% decrease from the prior year comparative period, franchise fees of $31 million, a 41% increase from the prior year comparative period, and other fee revenues of $17 million, an 89% increase from the prior year comparative period.
The increases in base management and franchise fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were primarily driven by new and converted hotels in the Americas. The decreases in incentive fees were driven by four of our managed hotels in France, partially offset by incentive fees increases at existing hotels, primarily in the Americas. The increases in other fee revenues during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in the prior year include termination fees of $5 million and $6 million, respectively, and increases in the amortization of deferred gains of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, from hotels sold subject to long-term management agreements.
Other revenues, which include our vacation ownership business and our co-branded credit card, increased $2 million and $3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to our co-branded credit card.
The table below provides a breakdown of revenues by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. For further discussion of segment revenues for the period presented, please refer to “—Segment Results” below.

Owned and leased hotels expense. Owned and leased hotels expense increased by $17 million and $41 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Comparable owned and leased hotels expense increased $12 million and $21 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in the prior year were primarily driven by payroll and related costs and rent expense. Non-comparable owned and leased hotels expense increased $4 million and $21 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases in non-comparable owned and leased hotels expense were due to three full service hotels and two select service hotels newly opened or acquired in 2013 and 2014. The increases were partially offset by 11 hotels sold in 2013 and 10 hotels sold and two hotels that were consolidated into one hotel in 2014. Non-comparable owned and leased hotels expense increased less in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to the sale of nine select service hotels and one full service hotel in the first quarter of 2014. Additionally, expenses recognized with respect to our employee benefit programs funded through a rabbi trust increased $1 million and decreased $1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. In each reporting period, changes in these expenses are fully offset to the account net gains and interest income from marketable securities held to fund operating programs, thus having no net impact to our earnings.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by a reduction in depreciation expense at certain comparable select service hotels.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by a $9 million increase in non-comparable hotel depreciation expense due primarily to hotels acquired or newly opened during the comparable periods, partially offset by hotels sold during the comparable periods and a $2 million increase in amortization expense due to a management agreement and an advanced bookings intangible acquired in 2013. These increases were partially offset by a $6 million decrease in depreciation due to a reduction in depreciation expense at certain comparable select service hotels.
Other direct costs. Other direct costs, which represent costs associated with our vacation ownership operations and our co-branded credit card, increased $2 million and $3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to our co-branded credit card.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5 million, or 7%, and $8 million, or 5%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses is the financial performance of the investment securities held in a rabbi trust to fund certain benefit programs. The financial performance of these investments resulted in an increase in costs of $6 million and $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. These expenses are offset in net gains and interest income from marketable securities held to fund operating programs, thus having no net impact to our earnings.
Excluding the rabbi trust amounts, selling, general and administrative costs decreased $1 million, or 1%, and increased $7 million, or 5%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, the $1 million decrease in costs was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees, partially offset by fewer bad debt recoveries this year as compared to last year. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, the $7 million increase in costs was primarily due to a $5 million increase in payroll and related costs and a $3 million increase in marketing costs, partially offset by a $1 million decrease in professional fees.
Net gains and interest income from marketable securities held to fund operating programs. Net gains and interest income from marketable securities held to fund operating programs includes securities held to fund our benefit programs funded through a rabbi trust and securities held to fund our Hyatt Gold Passport program. The net gains generated from these securities were net gains of $8 million and insignificant losses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Marketable securities held to fund our benefit programs funded through a rabbi trust resulted in net gains of $8 million and $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. These changes are driven by the market performance of the underlying securities. The gains on securities held in the rabbi trust are offset by our owned and leased hotels expense for our hotel staff and selling, general and administrative expenses for our corporate staff and personnel supporting our business segments, having no net impact on our earnings. Of the $7 million change in the underlying securities in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, $6 million was offset in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1 million was offset in owned and leased hotels expense.
Marketable securities held to fund our Gold Passport program and related to our owned and leased hotels were insignificant in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to a net loss of $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013. The gains and losses on securities held to fund our Gold Passport program and related to our owned and leased hotels are offset by corresponding changes to our owned and leased hotels revenue, thus having no net impact on our earnings.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, marketable securities held to fund operating programs generated net gains of $12 million and $10 million, respectively. Marketable securities held to fund our benefit programs funded through a rabbi trust resulted in net gains of $11 million during both the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013. These changes are driven by the market performance of the underlying securities. The gains on securities held in the rabbi trust are offset by our owned and leased hotels expense for our hotel staff and selling, general and administrative expenses for our corporate staff and personnel supporting our business segments, having no net impact on our earnings. The change in the underlying securities in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 was flat, driven by a $1 million increase offset in selling, general and administrative expenses and a $1 million decrease offset in owned and leased hotels expense.
Marketable securities held to fund our Gold Passport program and related to our owned and leased hotels were a net gain of $1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The gains and losses on securities held to fund our Gold Passport program and related to our owned and leased hotels are offset by corresponding changes to our owned and leased hotels revenue, thus having no net impact on our earnings.
Equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures. Equity earnings from unconsolidated hospitality ventures were $23 million and $16 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to equity losses from unconsolidated hospitality ventures of $5 million and $6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The $28 million increase during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by a $20 million gain on the sale of a hotel by a joint venture in which we hold an interest and a $12 million increase in earnings driven by higher net income generated from existing and new ventures. These increases were partially offset by a $2 million increase in depreciation and interest expense for a newly opened hotel. The $22 million increase during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by the aforementioned $20 million gain on the sale of a hotel by a joint venture in which we hold an interest and a $7 million increase in earnings driven by higher net income generated from existing ventures. These increases were partially offset by a $5 million increase in depreciation and interest expense for a newly opened hotel.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $2 million and $4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest
expense was primarily due to interest expense on the bonds acquired in conjunction with our purchase of the remaining interest in the Grand Hyatt San Antonio during the fourth quarter of 2013, and partially offset by a reduction in interest expense on the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress capital lease, for which we exercised our purchase option during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Asset impairments. Asset impairments are recorded as necessary based on our regular evaluation of impairment indicators. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized a $7 million asset impairment charge related to property and equipment within our owned and leased hotels segment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized $3 million and $11 million in asset impairment charges, respectively, related to property and equipment within our owned and leased hotels segment.
Gains on sales of real estate. Gains on sales of real estate were $1 million and $62 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to gains on sales of real estate of $99 million during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold nine select service hotels and one full service hotel to an unrelated third party for a combined $311 million, net of closing costs, resulting in a total pre-tax gain of $62 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, of which $1 million was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to post-closing adjustments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold two full service properties to unrelated third parties resulting in a pre-tax gain of $99 million. We recognized the gains on sale of real estate on our condensed consolidated statements of income in the period of sale.
Other loss, net. Other loss, net, improved by $15 million and $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in debt settlement costs and a decrease in charitable contributions to the Hyatt Thrive Foundation, partially offset by a decrease in gain on sale of artwork. The table below provides a breakdown of other loss, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

(1) | In the second quarter of 2014, we recorded $4 million in performance guarantee income, primarily driven by four of our managed hotels in France as profit was above the operating profit threshold for the three months ended June 30, 2014. However, on a year to date basis through June 30, 2014, profit is currently below the operating profit threshold. We began to manage these hotels in the second quarter of 2013, and since profit was above the operating profit threshold initially in 2013, we recorded incentive fee revenue in the second quarter of the prior year. See Note 10 for further details. |

(1) | For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $13 million in performance guarantee expense. This amount includes a $15 million expense in the first quarter of 2014, as we were required to pay the owner in accordance with our agreement for four of our managed hotels in France. In the second quarter of 2014, we outperformed the operating profit threshold and recorded $3 million in income for the four managed hotels in France. We began to manage these hotels in the second quarter of 2013, and since profit was above the operating profit threshold initially in 2013, we recorded incentive fee revenue in the second quarter of the prior year. See Note 10 for further details. |

Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rate was a provision of 37.8% and 33.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and a provision of 34.7% and 29.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, our effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the impact of our earnings to locations with higher tax rates, partially offset by a benefit of $4 million (including $2 million of interest and penalties) related to the expiration of statutes of limitations in certain foreign locations and a benefit of $2 million related to the settlement of tax audits. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the above-mentioned items, as well as a $4 million benefit for the release of a valuation allowance of a foreign subsidiary and a benefit of $2 million related to a state legislative change enacted in the first quarter of 2014.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to a $4 million benefit (including $2 million interest and penalties) related to the release of reserves for the lapsing of statutes of limitations in certain foreign locations and a benefit of $2 million with respect to foreign currency fluctuations related to uncertain tax positions. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to a $4 million benefit for the adjustment to certain deferred tax assets that should have been recorded in prior periods, a benefit of $4 million (including $2 million interest and penalties) related to the expiration of statutes of limitations in
certain foreign locations, a benefit of $3 million (including $1 million interest) related to the settlement of tax audits and a benefit of $2 million with respect to foreign currency fluctuations related to uncertain tax positions.
Segment Results
We evaluate segment operating performance using segment revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA, as described in Note 14. The segment results presented below are presented before intersegment eliminations.
Owned and Leased Hotels. Revenues increased $20 million and $76 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, which included $5 million and $6 million in net favorable currency impact.
Worldwide comparable hotel revenues increased $15 million and $34 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, $13 million and $32 million in increased revenue was generated primarily by Americas full service hotels, respectively, and $2 million in increased revenue was generated by select service hotels during each period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, revenue growth at our comparable full service hotels was driven by improved transient average daily rate in the Americas. The three months ended June 30, 2014 were negatively impacted by the timing of Easter, which was in the second quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2013. The six months ended June 30, 2014 benefited from improved group demand as compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue growth at comparable select service hotels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was driven by improved average daily rates. Comparable RevPAR at our owned and leased hotels in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by 4.8% and 5.6%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. These increases were primarily driven by improvements in average daily rate.
Non-comparable owned and leased hotels revenue increased $5 million and $42 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily driven by three full service hotels and two select service hotels newly opened or acquired in 2013 and 2014. These increases were partially offset by 11 hotels sold in 2013 and 10 hotels sold and two hotels that were consolidated into one hotel in 2014. Non-comparable owned and leased hotels revenue increased less in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to the sale of nine select service and one full service property in the first quarter of 2014.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we removed no properties from the comparable owned and leased hotels results. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we removed nine select service properties and one full service property that were sold in the period from the comparable owned and leased hotels results. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2014, we removed two additional full service hotels from the comparable owned and leased hotels results. These two hotels are adjacent to one another and their operations were consolidated into one hotel. The newly consolidated hotel does not have comparable results for the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $12 million and $42 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, which included $1 million and insignificant net favorable currency impacts, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA at our comparable owned and leased properties increased $4 million and $11 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013, due primarily to increased average daily rates at our full service and select service hotels in the Americas, partially offset by higher payroll and related costs and increased rent expense. Non-comparable hotels increased $2 million and $21 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013, primarily due to the aforementioned three full service and two select service hotels newly opened or acquired in 2013 and 2014, partially offset by the 11 hotels sold in 2013 and 10 hotels sold and two hotels that were consolidated into one hotel in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA at our joint venture hotels increased $6 million and $10 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, which included insignificant and $1 million in net unfavorable currency impacts. The increases were primarily driven by our new investment in all inclusive resorts, a new hotel opening in 2013, and a hotel that benefited from improved performance. These increases were partially offset by our acquisition of our joint venture partner's interest in a full service hotel in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Americas management and franchising. Americas management and franchising total segment revenues increased by $47 million and $79 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, which included $1 million in net unfavorable currency impacts in each period. Other revenues from managed properties increased by $30 million, or 8%, and $51 million, or 7%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Management, franchise and other fees increased $17 million and $28 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Management fees increased $6 million and $12 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases were primarily driven by improved transient rate and group demand at existing hotels and new full service hotels in the United States. Franchise fees increased $5 million and $9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, largely driven by new and converted hotels in the United States and improved performance at existing hotels. Other fee revenues increased $6 million and $7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases in other fees revenues were driven by termination fees of $5 million and amortization of deferred gains from hotels sold subject to long-term management agreements.
Our full service hotels comparable RevPAR improved 5.6% and 6.6% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to increased transient rate. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was driven by increased transient rate and improved group demand. Comparable RevPAR at our select service hotels in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by 8.4% and 7.7%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, driven primarily by increased average daily rate.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we removed two properties that left the chain from the comparable Americas full service systemwide hotels. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we did not
remove any properties from the comparable Americas select service systemwide hotels. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we removed one property from the comparable Americas select service systemwide hotels due to an expansion at that property.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $17 million and $25 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, which included $1 million in net unfavorable currency impacts in each period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the aforementioned $17 million increase in management, franchise and other fees, as selling, general, and administrative fees were flat. The $25 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the increase in management, franchise and other fees of $28 million, partially offset by increased selling, general, and administrative expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs was driven by increased marketing costs of $3 million.
ASPAC management and franchising. ASPAC management and franchising segment revenues decreased by $1 million and increased by $1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, which included insignificant and $1 million in net unfavorable currency impacts, respectively. Other revenues from managed properties increased $1 million in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Management, franchise and other fees decreased $2 million and were flat in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily driven by a reduction in other fees. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, RevPAR increased 3.6% and 3.0% (or increased 5.1% and 6.2% excluding the unfavorable currency impact), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Excluding the
aforementioned unfavorable currency impacts, the increases in RevPAR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were driven by increased occupancy in parts of China and improved average daily rate in Japan and Australia.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, no properties left the comparable ASPAC full service systemwide hotels.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3 million and $1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, which included insignificant and $1 million in net unfavorable currency impacts. The decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to the aforementioned $2 million decrease in management, franchise and other fees and a $1 million increase in selling, general and administrative fees, driven by fewer bad debt recoveries in the current year as compared to the prior year. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 was driven by a $1 million increase in selling, general and administrative fees, primarily due to increased payroll and related costs and fewer bad debt recoveries in the current year as compared to the prior year.
EAME/SW Asia management. EAME/SW Asia management segment revenues decreased by $8 million and $3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, which included insignificant currency impacts in each period. Other revenues from managed properties increased $1 million and $3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Management and other fees decreased by $9 million and $6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The decreases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were driven by a $10 million and $9 million decrease in incentive fees, respectively, primarily from four managed hotels in France, which we began to manage in the second quarter of
2013. Through the six months ended June 30, 2014, profit is below the operating profit threshold and as a result we have not recorded any incentive fees. We expect continued volatility in fees relative to last year due to our expectation that we will not recognize incentive fees on these four hotels for the remainder of 2014 and instead expect to pay approximately €15 million in net payments under the guarantee this year. These decreases in incentive fees for the quarter were partially offset by increases in base fees of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, primarily from the same hotels.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, RevPAR increased 3.8% and 3.4% (or 3.9% and 4.6% excluding the unfavorable currency impact), respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Excluding the unfavorable currency impact, the increases in RevPAR were driven by improved average daily rates, primarily in the Middle East, as well as improved RevPAR in parts of Western and Southern Europe. These increases were partially offset by decreases in Eastern Europe due to the impact of political instability in the region.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we removed no properties from the comparable EAME/SW Asia full service systemwide hotel results. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we removed one property that left the chain from the comparable EAME/SW Asia full service systemwide hotel results. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2014, we removed two additional hotels from the comparable EAME/SW Asia full service systemwide hotel results. These two hotels are adjacent to one another and their operations were consolidated into one hotel. The newly consolidated hotel does not have comparable results for the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $10 million and $7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, which included insignificant and $1 million in net unfavorable currency impacts. The decreases in Adjusted EBITDA were driven by the aforementioned decreases in management and other fees of $9 million and $6 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and a $1 million increase in selling, general and administrative fees during each period. The increases in selling, general and administrative fees were driven by increased payroll and related costs and higher bad debt expense, and were partially offset by decreased legal costs.
Corporate and other. Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate expenses, the results of our vacation ownership business and the results of our co-branded credit card. Corporate and other revenues increased $7 million and $13 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. The increases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were primarily due to a $5 million and $10 million increase in other revenues from managed properties and a $2 million and $3 million increase in growth of our co-branded credit card program, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was driven by the aforementioned $7 million increase in revenues and a $3 million decrease in selling, general and administrative costs, primarily from decreases in professional fees and payroll and related costs. These increases in Adjusted EBITDA were partially offset by a $5 million increase in other costs from managed properties and a $2 million increase in other direct costs from our co-branded credit card.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by the aforementioned $13 million increase in revenues. This increase in Adjusted EBITDA was partially offset by a $10 million increase in other costs from managed properties and a $3 million increase in other direct costs from our co-branded credit card.
Eliminations. Eliminations of $28 million and $53 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and eliminations of $29 million and $52 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, primarily represent fees charged by our management and franchising segments to our owned and leased hotels segment for managing their operations.
Non-GAAP Measure Reconciliation
We use the term Adjusted EBITDA throughout this quarterly report. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. We define consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus our pro-rata share of unconsolidated hospitality ventures Adjusted EBITDA using our ownership percentage of each venture, adjusted to exclude the following items:
| |
• | equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures; |
| |
• | gains on sales of real estate; |
| |
• | net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; |
| |
• | depreciation and amortization; |
| |
• | provision for income taxes. |
We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by adding the Adjusted EBITDA of each of our reportable segments to corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA.
Our Board of Directors and executive management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance and compensation measure both on a segment and on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance both on a segment and on a consolidated basis. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, also evaluates the performance of each of our reportable segments and determines how to allocate resources to those segments, in significant part, by assessing the Adjusted EBITDA of each segment. In addition, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors determines the annual variable compensation for certain members of our management based in part on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA or some combination of both.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides investors the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our operating performance and making compensation decisions.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a substitute for net income attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation, net income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes items that do not reflect our core operations, 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-GAAP measures that other companies may use 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 generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Our management compensates for these limitations by reference to our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally. See our condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.
The following table sets forth Adjusted EBITDA by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We finance our business primarily with existing cash, short-term investments and cash generated from our operations. As part of our business strategy, we also recycle capital by using net proceeds from dispositions to support acquisitions and new investment opportunities. We are currently pursuing the potential sales of certain full service and select service hotels and expect to generate additional liquidity from these transactions in 2014. When appropriate, we will borrow cash under our revolving credit facility or from other third party sources, and may also raise funds by issuing debt or equity securities as necessary. We maintain a cash investment policy that emphasizes preservation of capital. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $583 million and $484 million, respectively. At June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12 million which was classified as assets held for sale. We believe that our cash position, short-term investments and cash from operations, together with borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and our access to the capital markets, will be adequate to meet all of our funding requirements and capital deployment objectives for the foreseeable future.
We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase additional amounts of our outstanding equity and/or debt securities through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan. Such repurchase or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $300 million of the Company's common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we continued to make purchases of our common stock under our previously approved repurchase program. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we repurchased $90 million and $150 million of the Company's common stock, of which $90 million and $149 million, respectively, was settled in cash during the period. The common stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. See Note 11 for further details of our existing repurchase plans.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders that provides for a $1.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in January 2019. This restated our existing $1.5 billion facility that was scheduled to mature in September 2016. For a detailed discussion of the revolving credit facility, see "Revolving Credit Facility."
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold nine select service properties and one full service property for a combined $311 million, net of closing costs. As part of the sale, we transferred cash and cash equivalents of $3 million upon disposition, resulting in a net sales price of $308 million. The properties will remain Hyatt-branded hotels for a minimum of 25 years under long-term agreements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, a joint venture in which we hold an interest and is classified as an equity method investment sold the Hyatt Place Austin Downtown to a third party, for which we received cash of $28 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we exercised our purchase option to acquire the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress hotel for $191 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we announced a definitive agreement for the sale of Hyatt Residential Group for approximately $190 million and the sale of our interest in a joint venture that owns and is developing a vacation ownership property in Maui, Hawaii for approximately $35 million. The transaction is expected to close in 2014.
During 2013, we entered into management agreements and a related performance guarantee with a third party that acquired four hotels in France. The performance guarantee does not have an annual cap and the maximum total commitment under the performance guarantee at inception is €377 million, or $514 million, using exchange rates as of June 30, 2014. We became subject to the guarantee in 2013 with the conversion of the hotels to Hyatt management. Our current expectation is that payment under the performance guarantee in 2014 will not have a significant impact on our liquidity and capital resources. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Through an unconsolidated hospitality venture we are committed to purchase a hotel within a to-be completed building in New York City for a total purchase price of approximately $381 million. The hospitality venture will be funded upon the purchase of the hotel, and our share of the purchase price commitment is 66.67% (or approximately $254 million). We are currently negotiating to acquire our hospitality venture partner's interest in the hotel and if the transaction is completed, we would own 100% of the property.
Sources and Uses of Cash
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $553 million and $454 million, respectively. At June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12 million which was classified as assets held for sale. Additionally, we had short-term investments in certificates of deposit and other marketable securities of $30 million as of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $253 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $162 million in the same period last year. In 2014, cash flows from operations increased due to an increase in net income generated from operating cash flow activities. In 2013, the increase in net income was largely driven by investing activities, primarily due to the sales of real estate and artwork. Additionally, changes in working capital and other had a positive impact to operating cash flow due to the timing of certain prepaids and other assets and payables.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities

In conjunction with the aforementioned debt redemption and tender offer, we issued and sold $350 million of 2023 Notes and received proceeds of $345 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, we had no drawings on our revolving credit facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we drew $14 million and $11 million, respectively, on a construction loan for the development of a hotel in Brazil.
The following is a summary of our debt to capital ratios:
|
| | | | | | | |
(in millions, except percentages) | June 30, 2014 | | December 31, 2013 |
Consolidated debt (1) | $ | 1,303 |
| | $ | 1,483 |
|
Stockholders’ equity | 4,771 |
| | 4,769 |
|
Total capital | 6,074 |
| | 6,252 |
|
Total debt to total capital | 21.5 | % | | 23.7 | % |
Consolidated debt (1) | 1,303 |
| | 1,483 |
|
Less: Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (2) | 583 |
| | 484 |
|
Net consolidated debt (cash and short-term investments) | $ | 720 |
| | $ | 999 |
|
Net debt to total capital | 11.9 | % | | 16.0 | % |
| |
(1) | Excludes approximately $694 million and $672 million of our share of unconsolidated hospitality venture indebtedness as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, substantially all of which is non-recourse to us. |
| |
(2) | Excludes $12 million of cash and cash equivalents classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2014. |
Capital Expenditures
We routinely make capital expenditures to enhance our business. We classify our capital expenditures into maintenance, enhancements to existing properties and investment in new properties.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we had total capital expenditures of $111 million and $92 million, respectively. Expenditures related to investments in new properties were $41 million and $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This increase is driven by construction spending on our development of a hotel in Brazil. Maintenance expenditures were $38 million and $31 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, with the increase driven by increased technology spending. Enhancements to existing properties were $32 million and $36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in these expenditures was due to minimal renovation activity at full service hotels, partially offset by increased renovation activity at select service hotels during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our select service hotel renovations do not require the same level of investment as a full service hotel renovation because select service hotels typically have fewer rooms, significantly less meeting space and public areas and no ballroom space. We have been and will continue to be prudent with respect to our capital spending, taking into account our cash flow from operations.

We are in compliance with all applicable covenants under the indenture governing our Senior Notes as of June 30, 2014.
Revolving Credit Facility
On January 6, 2014, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders that amended and restated our prior revolving credit facility to extend the facility's expiration from September 9, 2016 to January 4, 2019. The revolving credit facility is intended to provide financing for working capital and general corporate purposes, including commercial paper back-up and permitted investments and acquisitions.
There were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and no borrowings under the prior revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2013. There was no outstanding balance on this credit facility at June 30, 2014 or on the prior credit facility at December 31, 2013.
We do, however, have $60 million in outstanding undrawn letters of credit that were issued under our revolving credit facility (which reduces the availability thereunder by the corresponding amount) as of June 30, 2014, and $104 million on our prior revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, we had available borrowing capacity of $1.4 billion, net of outstanding undrawn letters of credit.
We are in compliance with all applicable covenants under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2014.
Letters of Credit
We issue letters of credit either under the revolving credit facility or directly with financial institutions. We had $125 million in letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. We had letters of credit issued directly with financial institutions of $65 million and $21 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These letters of credit had weighted average fees of 109 basis points at June 30, 2014. The range of maturity on these letters of credit was up to one year as of June 30, 2014.
Other Debt Obligations
We are in compliance with all applicable covenants under all debt instruments as of June 30, 2014.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts 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 2013 Form 10-K. Since the date of our 2013 Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In certain situations, we seek to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates by entering into financial arrangements to provide a hedge against a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. We continue to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not hedged. We enter into derivative financial arrangements to the extent they meet the objectives described above, and we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. At June 30, 2014, we were a party to hedging transactions, including the use of derivative financial instruments, as discussed below.
Interest Rate Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes due to our borrowing activities. Our objective is to manage the risk of interest rate changes on the results of operations, cash flows, and the market value of our debt by creating an appropriate balance between our fixed and floating-rate debt. Interest rate derivative transactions, including interest rate swaps, have previously been entered into to maintain a level of exposure to interest rate variability that the Company deems acceptable. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we held no interest rate swap contracts.
Foreign Currency Exposures and Exchange Rate Instruments
We transact business in various foreign currencies and utilize foreign currency forward contracts to offset our exposure associated with the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. These foreign currency exposures typically arise from intercompany loans and other intercompany transactions. The U.S. dollar equivalent of the notional amount of the outstanding forward contracts, the majority of which relate to intercompany loans, with terms of less than one year, is as follows (in U.S. dollars):
|
| | | | | | | |
(in millions) | June 30, 2014 | | December 31, 2013 |
Pound Sterling | $ | 182 |
| | $ | 168 |
|
Korean Won | 34 |
| | 31 |
|
Swiss Franc | 20 |
| | 27 |
|
Canadian Dollar | 3 |
| | 3 |
|
Total notional amount of forward contracts | $ | 239 |
| | $ | 229 |
|
We intend to offset the gains and losses related to our intercompany loans and transactions with gains or losses on our foreign currency forward contracts such that there is a negligible effect on net income attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the effects of these derivative instruments within other loss, net on our condensed consolidated financial statements was a loss of $6 million and $8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the effect of these derivative instruments was an immaterial loss and a gain of $11 million, respectively. We expect to continue this practice relating to our intercompany loans and transactions, and may also begin to manage the risks associated with other transactional and translational foreign currency volatility within our business.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and forms. 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 the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, workers' compensation and other employee claims, intellectual property claims and claims related to our management of certain hotel properties. Most occurrences involving liability, claims of negligence and employees 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 consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
At June 30, 2014, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in response to Item 1A. to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The 2013 and 2014 repurchase programs do not have an expiration date. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $338 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorizations. |
