Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus, twenty hotels owned and/or operated by Loews Hotels & Co temporarily suspended operations in March of 2020, with two additional hotels suspending operations in April of 2020. Of these twenty-two hotels, one resumed operations in May, twelve in June and five in July, with the operations of the remaining four hotels still temporarily suspended. Only two owned hotels and two managed hotels did not suspend operations. Additionally, two hotels completed construction prior to the pandemic; one delayed opening until June, and the second is expected to open later this year. However, all operational hotels are experiencing very limited occupancy. Although Loews Hotels & Co has enacted significant measures to adjust the operating cost structure of each hotel during these suspensions and subsequent resumptions of operations, deferred most capital expenditures and reduced the operating costs of its management company, these measures could not offset the impact of significant lost revenues. Loews Hotels & Co has therefore incurred significant operating losses since the start of the pandemic.

  1. QTD/YTD 2020 includes a $13 million gain on the sale of an owned hotel.
  2. Non-recurringitems include items such as acquisition transaction and transition costs, new development pre-opening costs, gains or losses on sale and impairments. See Appendix - "Loews Hotels & Co Adjusted EBITDA" for additional disclosure.
  3. Adjusted EBITDA is the total amount of EBITDA attributable to Loews Hotels & Co based on its percent ownership of each property (e.g., if Loews Hotels & Co legally owns 50% of a property, 50% of that property's EBITDA is included, except for certain hotels where earnings are distributed on a slightly different basis from legal ownership based on the underlying governing agreements), plus management company EBITDA and excluding non- recurring items. See Appendix - "Loews Hotels & Co Adjusted EBITDA" for EBITDA to GAAP reconciliation.
  4. Adjusted mortgage debt is adjusted for Loews Hotels and Co's ownership interest in the asset underlying the borrowing. Balances are inclusive of adjusted mortgage debt related to assets under development of $121 million and $151 million at June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus, twenty hotels owned and/or operated by Loews Hotels & Co temporarily suspended operations in March of 2020, with two additional hotels suspending operations in April of 2020. Of these twenty-two hotels, one resumed operations in May, twelve in June and five in July, with the operations of the remaining four hotels still temporarily suspended. Only two owned hotels and two managed hotels did not suspend operations. Additionally, two hotels completed construction prior to the pandemic; one delayed opening until June, and the second is expected to open later this year. However, all operational hotels are experiencing very limited occupancy. Although Loews Hotels & Co has enacted significant measures to adjust the operating cost structure of each hotel during these suspensions and subsequent resumptions of operations, deferred most capital expenditures and reduced the operating costs of its management company, these measures could not offset the impact of significant lost revenues. Loews Hotels & Co has therefore incurred significant operating losses since the start of the pandemic.

  1. Non-recurringitems include items such as acquisition transaction and transition costs, new development pre-opening costs, gains or losses on sale and impairments.
  2. Represents the difference between Loews Hotels & Co's GAAP pretax income for its joint venture properties and its pro rata share of those properties' EBITDA based on its percentage ownership (e.g., if Loews Hotels & Co legally owns 50% of a property, 50% of that property's EBITDA is included, except for certain hotels where earnings are distributed on a slightly different basis from legal ownership based on the underlying governing agreements).
