Fourth Quarter Operational Commentary

• RevPAR growth in the fourth quarter was highest among Luxury and Upper Upscale chain scales. Leisure transient continued to be the strongest customer segment, while group also had a strong quarter, helped by the timing of the Rosh Hashanah holiday, which occurred in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
• Net Package RevPAR increased 8.3% in the fourth quarter compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting continued strength in luxury all-inclusive travel.
• Gross fees increased 4.5% in the fourth quarter compared to the same period in 2024, or 5.4% excluding the impact of the Playa Hotels Acquisition.
  • Base management fees: increased 8.1% from the contribution of newly-opened hotels and managed hotel RevPAR growth outside of the United States.
  • Incentive management fees: increased 13.0% led by newly-opened hotels, hotel performance in Asia Pacific, and all-inclusive hotel performance in Europe.
  • Franchise and other fees: decreased 3.8% due to the elimination of franchise fees from the 8 Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara properties that were part of the Playa Hotels Acquisition and lower demand at select service properties in the United States partially offset by fees from newly opened hotels.
• Owned and leased segment Adjusted EBITDA declined 1.5% in the fourth quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 after adjusting for assets sold in 2024 and the period of ownership of the hotels acquired as part of the Playa Hotels Acquisition due to renovations at certain properties.
• Distribution segment Adjusted EBITDA declined in the fourth compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 due to the impact of Hurricane Melissa and lower booking volumes in four-star and below properties.

Openings and Development

• During the fourth quarter, the Company opened 8,253 rooms, including Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol, marking Hyatt's first Park Hyatt hotel in Mexico; Andaz One Bangkok, which opened as part of the One Bangkok mixed-use development; and Hyatt Studios Huntsville, reflecting continued expansion of Hyatt's newest extended-stay brand in the United States.
• In 2025, the Company had pipeline growth of 7% compared to 2024. 2025 signings in the United States were up approximately 30% over 2024, including more than 25 Hyatt Select deals signed during the year, and the pipeline of Hyatt Studios properties grew to approximately 70 since announcing the brand in 2023. The pipeline in Asia Pacific increased by 7% compared to 2024, with strong signings activity in Greater China and India, replenishing the pipeline after a strong year of openings.

Transactions

During the fourth quarter, the Company:

• Closed on the sale of Alua Atlántico Golf Resort, Alua Tenerife, and AluaSoul Orotava Valley (the "Alua Portfolio") for a gross purchase price of approximately $140 million and entered into long-term management agreements for each property. Net proceeds were used to repay a portion of the $1.7 billion delayed draw term loan used to finance a portion of the Playa Hotels Acquisition.
• Completed the Playa Real Estate Transaction and used the proceeds to repay the amounts outstanding under the $1.7 billion delayed draw term loan, which was terminated upon repayment.
