Additional highlights for the third quarter include:

  • Reopened the New York Hilton Midtown in October 2021, increasing to 96% of total room count and leaving just two hotels in the portfolio suspended - Parc 55 San Francisco - a Hilton Hotel and Hilton Short Hills;
  • Generated positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, with 38 of 45 of Park's open consolidated hotels exceeding break-even levels;
  • Completed the sales of the Hotel Adagio, Autograph Collection, and the Le Meridien San Francisco for total gross proceeds of approximately $304 million; and
  • Repaid $419 million of the term loan entered into in August 2019 ("2019 Term Facility") and fully repaid the remaining $13 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility ("Revolver"). Year-to-date 2021, the Company partially repaid $592 million of the 2019 Term Facility, leaving just $78 million outstanding.

Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am extremely proud of our continued progress toward our strategic priorities for 2021. We reached break-even at the corporate level for the third quarter - the first time since the pandemic began - and celebrated the reopening of the New York Hilton Midtown in early October. In addition, with the completion of five hotel sales in 2021 totaling $477 million in gross proceeds, we exceeded our stated asset sales target of $300-$400 million and used the proceeds to de-leverage the balance sheet. Additionally, we extended maturities for over $2 billion of debt since the start of the pandemic and with current liquidity of $1.8 billion, Park is well-positioned for future growth opportunities. Despite the near-term impact of the Delta variant on our industry, we remain encouraged by the overall progression of the lodging industry's recovery and expect increasing demand trends across all segments into 2022 across our portfolio, including group business where bookings for 2022 increased for the fifth consecutive quarter."

For the third quarter of 2021, Park's portfolio generated positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA with 38 of 45 of Park's open consolidated hotels exceeding break-even levels.

Domestic leisure transient demand experienced some disruption from the Delta variant beginning late August 2021 coupled with customary seasonal decline after significant growth during the summer as COVID-19 vaccinations rates increased, domestic restrictions eased and restrictions on international travel continued. The Pro-forma Rooms Revenue mix for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for the 45 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of the third quarter of 2021 or 40 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of the first nine months of 2021 were as follows:

Group demand was tempered in the third quarter by the increase in COVID-19 cases related to the Delta variant, and certain markets have experienced attrition related to group cancellations. Park expects to see a return of group demand beginning in the second quarter of 2022 in select markets as groups continued to push out meetings originally scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of 2021 into 2022. Group bookings for 2022 have increased each of the past five quarters, growing by nearly 260,000 room nights, or nearly 31%, since September 30, 2020 with acceleration following the approval of COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use in November 2020. As of September 30, 2021, 2022 group bookings are approximately 66% of what 2019 group bookings were as of September 30, 2018, a slight decrease from last quarter due to cancellations in Q1 2022 and a slowdown in bookings as a result of concerns over the Delta variant. Despite this setback, 2022 average group rates on the books remain strong, exceeding 2019 average group rates on the books at September 30, 2018.

Highlights for Park's consolidated hotels owned as of November 3, 2021 in each of the Company's key markets, segmented between leisure and other markets, are as follows:

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Park and its hotel managers have taken several proactive steps to reduce the Company's burn rate, increase liquidity and mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on its business, including reducing labor and other operating expenses and cutting forecasted expenditures for 2021 to approximately $56 million for maintenance projects. As a result of these measures, coupled with expected continued leisure demand and the continued distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, Park's portfolio generated positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Park achieved break-even results at the corporate level during the third quarter.

Park's Net Debt as of September 30, 2021 was $4.1 billion. Utilizing the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Secured Notes and the sales of five hotels during 2021 to repay outstanding debt, the Company has just $78 million outstanding on its sole remaining corporate term loan. Park's current liquidity is over $1.8 billion, including $1.075 billion of available capacity under the Company's Revolver.
