At September 30, 2022, our hotel portfolio included 536 full service hotels, comprising 175,294 rooms throughout the world; 553 select service hotels, comprising 80,754 rooms, of which 442 hotels are located in the United States; and 122 all-inclusive resorts, comprising 38,840 rooms. At September 30, 2022, our portfolio of properties operated in 72 countries around the world. Additionally, through strategic relationships, we provide certain reservation and/or loyalty program services to hotels that are unaffiliated with our hotel portfolio and operate under other tradenames or marks owned by such hotels or licensed by third parties.

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, 2021 (the "2021 Form 10-K").
We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consolidate entities under our control, including entities where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
Management believes 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.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adopted Accounting Standards
Government Assistance—In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-10 ("ASU 2021-10"), Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 requires annual disclosures that are expected to increase the transparency of transactions involving government grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity's financial statements. The provisions of ASU 2021-10 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2021, and we adopted ASU 2021-10 on January 1, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-10 on our annual disclosures and do not expect a material impact to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Future Adoption of Accounting Standards
Reference Rate Reform—In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04"), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions that we can elect to adopt, subject to meeting certain criteria, regarding contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 are available through December 31, 2022, and we are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04.

Contract Balances
Our contract assets, included in receivables, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were $2 million and insignificant at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As our profitability hurdles are generally calculated on a full-year basis, we expect our contract assets to be insignificant at year end.
Contract liabilities were comprised of the following:
September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Deferred revenue related to the paid membership program$987 $833 
Deferred revenue related to the loyalty program904 814 
Deferred revenue related to travel distribution and destination management services613 629 
Advanced deposits59 61 
Initial fees received from franchise owners44 42 
Deferred revenue related to insurance programs52 
Other deferred revenue87 96 
Total contract liabilities$2,700 $2,527 
Revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each year was $153 million and $83 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was $822 million and $230 million, respectively. This revenue primarily relates to travel distribution and destination management services, the loyalty program, and the paid membership program.
Revenue Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Contracted revenue expected to be recognized in future periods was approximately $490 million at September 30, 2022, approximately 20% of which we expect to recognize over the next 12 months, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we received $17 million of proceeds related to sales activity of certain equity method investments and recognized an insignificant net loss in equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we purchased our hospitality venture partner's interest in the entities that own Grand Hyatt São Paulo for $6 million of cash, and we repaid the $78 million third-party mortgage loan on the property. We recognized a $69 million pre-tax gain in equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) (see Note 6).

Other Investments
HTM Debt Securities—We also hold investments in third-party entities related to certain of our hotels, which are redeemable on various dates through 2062 and are recorded as HTM debt securities within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Allowance at September 30$30 $31 
(1) Provisions for credit losses were partially or fully offset by interest income recognized in the same periods (see Note 18).
We estimated the fair value of these HTM debt securities to be approximately $80 million and $77 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair values of our investments in preferred shares, which are classified as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy, are estimated using internally developed discounted cash flow models based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. The primary sensitivity in these models is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in these assumptions could result in different estimates of fair value. The remaining HTM debt securities are classified as Level Two in the fair value hierarchy due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs being considered in the final price of the security.
Equity Securities Without a Readily Determinable Fair Value—At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we held $12 million of investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, which are recorded within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent investments in entities where we do not have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity.

Apple Leisure Group—During the year ended December 31, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in Casablanca Global Intermediate Holdings L.P., doing business as Apple Leisure Group ("ALG"), and 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Casablanca Global GP Limited, its general partner, in a business combination for a purchase price of $2.7 billion (the "ALG Acquisition"). The transaction included $69 million of contingent consideration payable upon achieving certain targets related to ALG's outstanding travel credits; however, we did not record a contingent liability as the achievement was not considered probable as of the acquisition date.
We closed on the transaction on November 1, 2021 and paid $2,718 million of cash, inclusive of $39 million of purchase price adjustments for amounts due back to the seller that were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 and paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Net assets acquired were determined as follows:
Cash paid, net of cash acquired$2,718 
Cash and cash equivalents acquired460 
Restricted cash acquired16 
Net assets acquired$3,194 
The acquisition includes (i) management and marketing agreements for operating and pipeline hotels, primarily across Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and Europe, and brand names affiliated with ALG resorts; (ii) customer relationships and brand names related to ALG Vacations; and (iii) customer relationships and a brand name associated with the Unlimited Vacation Club paid membership program.
Our condensed consolidated balance sheets at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 reflect preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on available information as of the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets acquired are estimated using either discounted future cash flow models or the relief from royalty method, both of which include revenue projections based on the expected contract terms and long-term growth rates, which are primarily Level Three assumptions. The fair values of performance guarantee liabilities assumed are estimated using scenario-based weighting, which utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation to model the probability of possible outcomes. The valuation methodology includes assumptions and judgments regarding probability weighting, discount rates, volatility, and hotel operating results as well as qualitative factors, which are primarily Level Three assumptions (see Note 12). The remaining assets and liabilities were recorded at their carrying values, which approximate their fair values.
During 2022, the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed were revised. The measurement period adjustments primarily resulted from the refinement of certain assumptions, including contract terms, renewal periods, and useful lives, which affected the underlying cash flows in the valuation and were based on facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022 primarily include a $111 million increase in other long-term liabilities, largely due to performance guarantees (see Note 12); a $42 million decrease in intangibles, net; and a $16 million decrease in property and equipment, net, all of which contributed to a corresponding $177 million increase to goodwill. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a reduction of expenses of approximately $4 million and an increase in expenses of approximately $11 million on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss), primarily related to amortization, that would have been recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, if the measurement period adjustments would have been made as of the acquisition date.
We will finalize the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the fourth quarter of 2022. We will continue to evaluate the contracts acquired and the underlying inputs and assumptions used in our valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The estimates, along with any related tax impacts, are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date recorded on the Apple Leisure Group segment:

(2) Includes intangible assets related to various ALG brand names.
(3) Amortized over useful lives of approximately 1 to 19 years, with a weighted-average useful life of approximately 11 years.
(4) Amortized over useful lives of 4 to 11 years, with a weighted-average useful life of approximately 8 years.
(5) Contract liabilities assumed were recorded at carrying value at the date of acquisition.
Land—During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we acquired $7 million of land through an asset acquisition from an unrelated third party to develop a hotel in Tempe, Arizona.
Alila Ventana Big Sur—During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we completed an asset acquisition of Alila Ventana Big Sur for $146 million, net of closing costs and proration adjustments, which primarily consisted of $149 million of property and equipment. The seller is indirectly owned by a limited partnership affiliated with the brother of our Executive Chairman. The acquisition was identified as replacement property in a potential reverse like-kind exchange; however, we sold the property before a suitable replacement property was identified.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we sold the property to an unrelated third party for approximately $148 million, net of closing costs and proration adjustments, and accounted for the transaction as an asset disposition. Upon sale, we entered into a long-term management agreement for the property. The sale resulted in a $2 million pre-tax gain, which was recognized in gains (losses) on sales of real estate on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The operating results and financial position of this hotel during our period of ownership remain within our owned and leased hotels segment.
Grand Hyatt São Paulo—We previously held a 50% interest in the entities that own Grand Hyatt São Paulo, and we accounted for the investment as an unconsolidated hospitality venture under the equity method. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2021, we purchased the remaining 50% interest for $6 million of cash. Additionally, we repaid the $78 million third-party mortgage loan on the property and were released from our debt repayment guarantee. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, and we recognized a $69 million pre-tax gain related to the transaction in equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The pre-tax gain is primarily attributable to a $42 million reversal of other long-term liabilities associated with our equity method investment and a $22 million reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss (see Note 13).
Net assets acquired were determined as follows:
Cash paid$
Repayment of third-party mortgage loan78 
Fair value of our previously-held equity method investment
Net assets acquired$90 
Upon acquisition, we recorded $101 million of property and equipment and $11 million of deferred tax liabilities within our owned and leased hotels segment on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Dispositions
The Confidante Miami Beach—During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold The Confidante Miami Beach to an unrelated third party for approximately $227 million, net of closing costs and proration adjustments, and accounted for the transaction as an asset disposition. Upon sale, we entered into a long-term management agreement for the property. The sale resulted in a $24 million pre-tax gain, which was recognized in gains (losses) on sales of real estate on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The operating results and financial position of this hotel prior to the sale remain within our owned and leased hotels segment.
The Driskill—During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold The Driskill to an unrelated third party for approximately $119 million, net of closing costs and proration adjustments, and accounted for the transaction as an asset disposition. Upon sale, we entered into a long-term management agreement for the property. The sale resulted in a $51 million pre-tax gain, which was recognized in gains (losses) on sales of real estate on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The operating results and financial position of this hotel prior to the sale remain within our owned and leased hotels segment.
Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk—During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk to an unrelated third party and accounted for the transaction as an asset disposition. We received approximately $109 million of cash consideration, net of closing costs; a $19 million HTM debt security as additional consideration; and $18 million from the release of restricted cash held for debt service related to Tax-Exempt Contract Revenue Empowerment Zone Bonds, Series 2005A and Contract Revenue Bonds, Senior Taxable Series 2005B (collectively, the "Series 2005 Bonds"). At the time of sale, we had $166 million of outstanding debt related to the Series 2005 Bonds, inclusive of accrued interest and net of $4 million of unamortized discounts, which was legally defeased in conjunction with the sale (see Note 9). Upon sale, we entered into a long-term management agreement for the property.
The sale resulted in a $137 million pre-tax gain, which was recognized in gains (losses) on sales of real estate on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In connection with the disposition, we recognized a $7 million goodwill impairment charge in asset impairments on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The assets disposed represented the entirety of the reporting unit and therefore, no business operations remained to support the related goodwill, which was therefore impaired. The operating results and financial position of this hotel prior to the sale remain within our owned and leased hotels segment.
Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa—During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa to an unrelated third party for approximately $136 million, net of closing costs and proration adjustments, and accounted for the transaction as an asset disposition.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
DEBT DEBT
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $3,804 million and $3,978 million, respectively, of total debt, which included $654 million and $10 million, respectively, recorded in current maturities of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On October 1, 2022, we redeemed our floating rate senior notes due 2023 for approximately $302 million, inclusive of $300 million of aggregate principal and $2 million of accrued interest. The debt was recorded in current maturities of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022 as we irrevocably exercised our right to redeem the debt prior to the contractual maturity date. On October 28, 2022, we redeemed our 3.375% senior notes due 2023 for approximately $353 million, inclusive of $350 million of aggregate principal and $3 million of accrued interest. The debt was recorded in current maturities of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022 based on the contractual maturity date.
Revolving Credit Facility—During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we entered into a new credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders that provides for a $1.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") that matures in May 2027. The credit agreement refinanced and replaced in its entirety our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 6, 2014, as amended (the "prior revolving credit facility"). The credit agreement provides for the issuance of revolving loans to us in U.S. dollars and, subject to a sublimit of $250 million, certain other currencies, and the issuance of up to $300 million of letters of credit. We have the option during the term of the revolving credit facility to increase the facility by an aggregate amount of up to an additional $500 million provided that, among other things, new and/or existing lenders agree to provide commitments for the increased amount. We may prepay any outstanding aggregate principal amount, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain restrictions and upon proper notice. The credit agreement contains customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants; representations and warranties; and default provisions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we had no borrowings or repayments on our revolving credit facility or our prior revolving credit facility. At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no balance outstanding on our revolving credit facility or our prior revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2022, we had $1,496 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit outstanding.
Fair Value—We estimate the fair value of debt, excluding finance leases, which consists of the notes below (collectively, the "Senior Notes") and other long-term debt.
$300 million of floating rate senior notes due 2023
$350 million of 3.375% senior notes due 2023
$700 million of 1.300% senior notes due 2023
$750 million of 1.800% senior notes due 2024
$450 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2025
$400 million of 4.850% senior notes due 2026
$400 million of 4.375% senior notes due 2028
$450 million of 5.750% senior notes due 2030
Our Senior Notes are classified as Level Two due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs in the final price of the security. We estimated the fair value of other debt instruments using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. Based on the lack of available market data, we have classified our revolving credit facility, as applicable, and other debt instruments as Level Three. The primary sensitivity in these models is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in our assumptions will result in different estimates of fair value.

Series 2005 Bonds—During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Series 2005 Bonds were legally defeased in conjunction with the sale of Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk (see Note 6). The Series 2005 Bonds had $166 million outstanding prior to defeasance, inclusive of accrued interest and net of $4 million of unamortized discounts, and we recognized an $8 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to restricted cash utilized to defease the debt. The loss was recognized in other income (loss), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (see Note 18).

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXESThe provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $35 million and $138 million, respectively. The decrease was driven by the sale of Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino in 2021. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $143 million and $339 million, respectively. The decrease was driven by the impact of
a non-cash expense to record a valuation allowance on U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of entering into a three-year cumulative U.S. pre-tax loss position during the period.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had a valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. deferred tax assets. Given our U.S. current earnings and projected future earnings, we believe it is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, sufficient positive evidence may be available to support the conclusion that all or a portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be required. However, the timing and amount of the valuation allowance release is dependent on the level of future profitability we are reasonably expected to achieve. Release of the valuation allowance would result in a decrease to income tax expense in the period the release is recorded.
We are subject to audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. U.S. tax years 2018 through 2020 are currently under field exam. U.S. tax years 2009 through 2011 are before the U.S. Tax Court concerning the tax treatment of the loyalty program. The U.S. Tax Court trial proceedings occurred during April 2022 and the trial outcome is pending, subject to the U.S. Tax Court Judge's ruling. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment for tax years 2015 through 2017 related to the loyalty program issue. As a result, U.S. tax years 2009 through 2017 are pending the outcome of the issue currently in U.S. Tax Court. If the IRS' position to include loyalty program contributions as taxable income to the Company is upheld, it would result in an income tax payment of $229 million (including $71 million of estimated interest, net of federal tax benefit) for all assessed years. We believe we have an adequate uncertain tax liability recorded in connection with this matter.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total unrecognized tax benefits recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets were $254 million and $205 million, respectively, of which $232 million and $186 million, respectively, would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. While it is reasonably possible that the amount of uncertain tax benefits associated with the U.S. treatment of the loyalty program could significantly change within the next 12 months, at this time, the Company is not able to estimate the range by which the reasonably possible outcomes of the pending litigation could impact our uncertain tax benefits within the next 12 months.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various commitments, guarantees, surety and other bonds, and letter of credit agreements.
Commitments—At September 30, 2022, we are committed, under certain conditions, to lend, provide certain consideration to, or invest in, various business ventures up to $307 million, net of any related letters of credit.
Performance Guarantees—Certain of our contractual agreements with third-party hotel owners require us to guarantee payments to the owners if specified levels of operating profit are not achieved by their hotels. Except as described below, at September 30, 2022, our performance guarantees have $122 million of remaining maximum exposure and expire between 2022 and 2042.
We acquired certain management agreements in the ALG Acquisition with performance guarantees expiring between 2022 and 2045. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022 reflects preliminary estimates of the fair value of the performance guarantee liabilities assumed based on information that was available as of the date of acquisition. The performance guarantees are based on annual performance levels. Contract terms within the management agreements limit our exposure, and therefore, we are unable to reasonably estimate our maximum potential future payments. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we will complete our review of the agreements acquired in the ALG Acquisition and the contractual obligations therein (see Note 6).
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $104 million and $52 million, respectively, of total performance guarantee liabilities, which included $93 million and $41 million, respectively, recorded in other long-term liabilities. At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $11 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
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. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $6 million and $7 million, respectively, recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to these performance cure payments.
Debt Repayment Guarantees—We enter into various debt repayment guarantees in order to assist hotel owners and unconsolidated hospitality ventures in obtaining third-party financing or to obtain more favorable borrowing terms.

(1) We have agreements with our unconsolidated hospitality venture partners and a certain hotel owner to recover certain amounts funded under the debt repayment guarantee; the recoverability mechanism may be in the form of cash or HTM debt security.
(2) Certain agreements give us the ability to assume control of the property if defined funding thresholds are met or if certain events occur.
(3) Certain debt repayment guarantees are denominated in Indian rupees and translated using exchange rates at September 30, 2022. We have the contractual right to recover amounts funded from an unconsolidated hospitality venture, which is a related party. We expect our maximum exposure to be approximately $90 million, taking into account our partner's 50% ownership interest in the unconsolidated hospitality venture. Under certain events or conditions, we have the right to force the sale of the properties in order to recover amounts funded.
At September 30, 2022, we are not aware, nor have we received any notification, that our unconsolidated hospitality ventures or the hotel owner are not current on their debt service obligations where we have provided a debt repayment guarantee.
Guarantee Liabilities Fair Value—We estimated the fair value of our guarantees to be approximately $126 million and $87 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Based on the lack of available market data, we have classified our guarantees as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy.
Insurance—We obtain commercial insurance for potential losses for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability, employment practices, crime, property, cyber risk, and other miscellaneous coverages. A portion of the 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 Hyatt and generally insures our deductibles and retentions. Reserve requirements are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. Reserves for losses in our captive insurance company to be paid within 12 months are $38 million and $34 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Reserves for losses in our captive insurance company to be paid in future periods are $64 million and $66 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Collective Bargaining Agreements—At September 30, 2022, approximately 21% of our U.S.-based employees were covered by various collective bargaining agreements, generally providing for basic pay rates, working hours, other conditions of employment, and orderly settlement of labor disputes. Certain employees are covered by union-sponsored, multi-employer pension and health plans pursuant to agreements between various unions and us. Generally, labor relations have been maintained in a normal and satisfactory manner, and we believe our employee relations are good.
Surety and Other Bonds—Surety and other bonds issued on our behalf were $47 million at September 30, 2022 and primarily relate to workers' compensation, taxes, licenses, construction liens, and utilities related to our lodging operations.
Letters of Credit—Letters of credit outstanding on our behalf at September 30, 2022 were $268 million, which primarily relate to our ongoing operations, collateral for customer deposits associated with ALG Vacations, collateral for estimated insurance claims, and securitization of our performance under our debt repayment guarantees associated with the hotel properties in India, which are only called on if we default on our guarantees. Of the letters of credit outstanding, $4 million reduces the available capacity under our revolving credit facility (see Note 9).
Capital Expenditures—As part of our ongoing business operations, expenditures are required to complete renovation projects that have been approved.
Other—We act as general partner of various partnerships owning hotel properties that are subject to mortgage indebtedness. These mortgage agreements generally limit the lender's recourse to security interests in 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 and certain managed hotels, 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 unconsolidated hospitality venture partners or respective hotel owners.
As a result of certain dispositions, we have agreed to provide customary indemnifications to third-party purchasers for certain liabilities incurred prior to sale and for breach of certain representations and warranties made during the sales process, such as representations of valid title, authority, and environmental issues that may not be limited by a contractual monetary amount. These indemnification agreements survive until the applicable statutes of limitation expire or until the agreed upon contract terms expire.
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 our current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined at this point, based on information currently available, we do not expect the ultimate resolution of such claims and litigation to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received a notice from the Indian tax authorities assessing additional service tax on our operations in India. We appealed this decision and do not believe a loss is probable, and therefore, we have not recorded a liability in connection with this matter. At September 30, 2022, our maximum exposure is not expected to exceed $18 million.

Share Repurchases—During 2019 and 2018, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $750 million and $750 million, respectively, of our common stock. 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 or an accelerated share repurchase transaction, at prices we deem appropriate and subject to market conditions, applicable law, and other factors deemed relevant in our sole discretion. The common stock repurchase program applies to our Class A and Class B common stock. The common stock repurchase program does not obligate us 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 3,075,891 shares of Class A common stock. The shares of common stock were repurchased at a weighted-average price of $85.56 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $263 million, excluding insignificant related expenses. The shares repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 represented approximately 3% of our total shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2021. The shares of Class A common stock repurchased in the open market were retired and returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares. At September 30, 2022, we had $665 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.
During October 2022, we repurchased 327,556 shares of Class A common stock. The shares of common stock were repurchased at a weighted-average price of $82.56 for an aggregate purchase price of $27 million, excluding insignificant related expenses. The shares of Class A common stock repurchased in the open market were retired and returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares. Included in the October repurchases were 189,000 shares that were initiated prior to September 30, 2022, but not settled until October 2022. At September 30, 2022, we had a $16 million liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet related to these shares. At October 31, 2022, we had $638 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we did not repurchase common stock.
Common Stock Issuance—During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of our Class A common stock at a price of $74.50 per share (the "common stock issuance"). We issued and sold 8,050,000 shares, including 1,050,000 shares issued in connection with the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.
We received $575 million of net proceeds from the common stock issuance, after deducting approximately $25 million of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. We used the proceeds from the common stock issuance to fund a portion of the ALG Acquisition.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As part of our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we award time-vested stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), time-vested restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance-vested restricted stock units ("PSUs") to certain employees and non-employee directors. In addition, non-employee directors may elect to receive their annual fees and/or annual equity retainers in the form of shares of our Class A common stock. Compensation expense and unearned compensation presented below exclude amounts related to employees of our managed hotels and other employees whose payroll is reimbursed, as these expenses have been and will continue to be reimbursed by our third-party hotel owners and are recognized in revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties and costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Stock-based compensation expense recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) related to these awards was as follows:

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our reportable 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 ("CODM") to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Following the ALG Acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2021, ALG is managed as a separate reportable segment, but in the future, we may realign our reportable segments after integrating aspects of ALG's business. 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. Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany expenses related to management fees paid to the Company's management and franchising segments, which are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment revenues relate to promotional award redemptions earned by our owned and leased hotels related to our co-branded credit card program and are eliminated in consolidation.
Americas management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management services and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America, as well as revenues from residential management operations. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to payroll at managed properties where the Company is the employer, as well as costs associated with sales, reservations, digital and technology, digital media, and marketing services (collectively, "system-wide services") and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation.
ASPAC management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management services and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in Southeast Asia, Greater China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, and Micronesia. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties.
EAME/SW Asia management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management services and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, Central Asia, and Nepal. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation.
Apple Leisure Group—This segment derives its earnings from distribution and destination management services offered through ALG Vacations; management and marketing services primarily for all-inclusive ALG resorts located in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Europe; and through a paid membership program offering benefits exclusively at ALG resorts in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate to certain system-wide services provided on behalf of owners of ALG resorts.
The Company is planning a geographic realignment of its EAME/SW Asia and ASPAC segments, which is expected to be effective on January 1, 2023. After the realignment, the segments will be described as EAME management and franchising ("EAME"), which will consist of our management and franchising of properties located in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and ASPAC management and franchising, which will consist of our management and franchising of properties located in Greater China, East and Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and Oceania.
Our CODM evaluates performance based on owned and leased hotels revenues; management, franchise, and other fees revenues; distribution and destination management revenues; other revenues; and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA based on our ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude interest expense; benefit (provision) for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; amortization of management and franchise agreement assets and performance cure payments, which constitute payments to customers ("Contra revenue"); revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties; costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties that we intend to recover over the long term; equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures; stock-based compensation expense; gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other; asset impairments; and other income (loss), net.
The table below shows summarized consolidated financial information by segment. Included within corporate and other are results related to our co-branded credit card program and unallocated corporate expenses.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting 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.
Principles of Consolidation We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consolidate entities under our control, including entities where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
Adopted Accounting Standards and Future Adoption of Accounting Standards
Adopted Accounting Standards
Government Assistance—In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-10 ("ASU 2021-10"), Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. ASU 2021-10 requires annual disclosures that are expected to increase the transparency of transactions involving government grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity's financial statements. The provisions of ASU 2021-10 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2021, and we adopted ASU 2021-10 on January 1, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-10 on our annual disclosures and do not expect a material impact to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Future Adoption of Accounting Standards
Reference Rate Reform—In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04"), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions that we can elect to adopt, subject to meeting certain criteria, regarding contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 are available through December 31, 2022, and we are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04.
Revenue Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue Allocated to Remaining Performance ObligationsRevenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.
Insurance Insurance—We obtain commercial insurance for potential losses for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability, employment practices, crime, property, cyber risk, and other miscellaneous coverages. A portion of the 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 Hyatt and generally insures our deductibles and retentions. Reserve requirements are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses.
Commitments and Contingencies Other
Other—We act as general partner of various partnerships owning hotel properties that are subject to mortgage indebtedness. These mortgage agreements generally limit the lender's recourse to security interests in 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 and certain managed hotels, 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 unconsolidated hospitality venture partners or respective hotel owners.
As a result of certain dispositions, we have agreed to provide customary indemnifications to third-party purchasers for certain liabilities incurred prior to sale and for breach of certain representations and warranties made during the sales process, such as representations of valid title, authority, and environmental issues that may not be limited by a contractual monetary amount. These indemnification agreements survive until the applicable statutes of limitation expire or until the agreed upon contract terms expire.
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 our current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined at this point, based on information currently available, we do not expect the ultimate resolution of such claims and litigation to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Segment Information SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our reportable 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 ("CODM") to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Following the ALG Acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2021, ALG is managed as a separate reportable segment, but in the future, we may realign our reportable segments after integrating aspects of ALG's business. 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. Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany expenses related to management fees paid to the Company's management and franchising segments, which are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment revenues relate to promotional award redemptions earned by our owned and leased hotels related to our co-branded credit card program and are eliminated in consolidation.
Americas management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management services and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America, as well as revenues from residential management operations. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to payroll at managed properties where the Company is the employer, as well as costs associated with sales, reservations, digital and technology, digital media, and marketing services (collectively, "system-wide services") and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation.
ASPAC management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management services and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in Southeast Asia, Greater China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, and Micronesia. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties.
EAME/SW Asia management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management services and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, Central Asia, and Nepal. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation.
Apple Leisure Group—This segment derives its earnings from distribution and destination management services offered through ALG Vacations; management and marketing services primarily for all-inclusive ALG resorts located in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Europe; and through a paid membership program offering benefits exclusively at ALG resorts in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate to certain system-wide services provided on behalf of owners of ALG resorts.
The Company is planning a geographic realignment of its EAME/SW Asia and ASPAC segments, which is expected to be effective on January 1, 2023. After the realignment, the segments will be described as EAME management and franchising ("EAME"), which will consist of our management and franchising of properties located in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and ASPAC management and franchising, which will consist of our management and franchising of properties located in Greater China, East and Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and Oceania.
Our CODM evaluates performance based on owned and leased hotels revenues; management, franchise, and other fees revenues; distribution and destination management revenues; other revenues; and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA based on our ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude interest expense; benefit (provision) for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; amortization of management and franchise agreement assets and performance cure payments, which constitute payments to customers ("Contra revenue"); revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties; costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties that we intend to recover over the long term; equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures; stock-based compensation expense; gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other; asset impairments; and other income (loss), net.

Schedule of Fair Value, by Balance Sheet Grouping
Our Senior Notes are classified as Level Two due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs in the final price of the security. We estimated the fair value of other debt instruments using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. Based on the lack of available market data, we have classified our revolving credit facility, as applicable, and other debt instruments as Level Three. The primary sensitivity in these models is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in our assumptions will result in different estimates of fair value.

(1) We have agreements with our unconsolidated hospitality venture partners and a certain hotel owner to recover certain amounts funded under the debt repayment guarantee; the recoverability mechanism may be in the form of cash or HTM debt security.
(2) Certain agreements give us the ability to assume control of the property if defined funding thresholds are met or if certain events occur.
(3) Certain debt repayment guarantees are denominated in Indian rupees and translated using exchange rates at September 30, 2022. We have the contractual right to recover amounts funded from an unconsolidated hospitality venture, which is a related party. We expect our maximum exposure to be approximately $90 million, taking into account our partner's 50% ownership interest in the unconsolidated hospitality venture. Under certain events or conditions, we have the right to force the sale of the properties in order to recover amounts funded.
