Net income was $244 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $167 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and Adjusted EBITDA increased 4 percent to $806 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $777 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, EPS was $0.55 compared to $0.31 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and EPS, adjusted for special items, was $0.43 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.37 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Special items in the first six months of 2016 were primarily related to a $153 million net change in unrecognized tax benefits. Net income was $554 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $317 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and Adjusted EBITDA increased 6 percent to $1,459 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $1,376 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Christopher J. Nassetta, President & Chief Executive Officer of Hilton Worldwide, said, "We had solid results this quarter, with EPS and Adjusted EBITDA in line with our expectations, and our share of global development activity increasing. Our newest brand, Tru by Hilton, has nearly doubled its pipeline during the quarter to 93 hotels. Additionally, we opened over 12,200 new rooms in the quarter, and are thrilled about the opening of the first Canopy by Hilton in Reykjavik, Iceland earlier this month."

Segment Highlights

Management and Franchise

Management and franchise fees were $471 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 9 percent compared to the same period in 2015. RevPAR at comparable managed and franchised hotels in the second quarter of 2016 increased 3.2 percent on a currency neutral basis (a 2.5 percent increase in actual dollars) compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in RevPAR at comparable managed and franchised hotels, addition of new units and rising effective franchise fee rates have yielded continued fee growth during the second quarter of 2016.

Ownership

Revenues from the ownership segment were $1,114 million in the second quarter of 2016, and ownership segment Adjusted EBITDA was $299 million. RevPAR at comparable hotels in the ownership segment increased 0.7 percent on a currency neutral basis (a 0.2 percent increase in actual dollars) in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Modest growth in ownership segment RevPAR in the second quarter of 2016 was primarily attributable to weaker performance in New York and Chicago. For the first half of the year, ownership segment Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) increased 10 basis points.

Timeshare

Timeshare segment revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were $336 million and timeshare Adjusted EBITDA was $98 million, an increase of 14 percent compared to the same period in 2015. Revenue from resort operations increased $9 million during the second quarter of 2016 from the same period in 2015. Overall timeshare sales volume increased 13 percent in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, as a result of increased tour flow and net volume per guest of 6 percent each. Commissions recognized from the sale of third-party developed timeshare intervals increased $30 million during the second quarter of 2016 from the same period in 2015, while sales revenue on owned inventory decreased $24 million during the second quarter of 2016 from the same period in 2015.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, 61 percent of intervals sold were developed by third parties. Hilton Worldwide's overall supply of timeshare intervals as of June 30, 2016 was approximately 132,000 intervals, or nearly six years of sales at current pace, of which 107,000, or 81 percent, are third-party developed.

Development

Hilton Worldwide opened 76 hotels consisting of over 12,200 rooms, of which over 20 percent were conversions from non-Hilton brands, and achieved net unit growth of nearly 10,400 rooms during the second quarter of 2016. Additionally, Hilton Worldwide grew its global footprint to 104 countries and territories with the openings of the Hilton Tallinn Park in Estonia and the Conrad Manila in the Philippines.

As of June 30, 2016, Hilton Worldwide had the largest rooms pipeline in the lodging industry(2), with approximately 288,000 rooms at 1,822 hotels throughout 91 countries and territories, including 32 countries and territories where Hilton Worldwide does not currently have any open hotels. Over 144,000 rooms, or more than half of the pipeline, were located outside of the United States. Additionally, approximately 143,000 rooms, or approximately half of the pipeline, were under construction. At nearly 21 percent, Hilton Worldwide also has the largest share of rooms under construction globally(2). Including all agreements approved but not signed, Hilton Worldwide's pipeline totaled over 300,000 rooms, which will be almost entirely funded by third-party owner investment.

HILTON WORLDWIDE HOLDINGS INC.DEFINITIONS

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), presented herein, is a financial measure not recognized under United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") that reflects net income, excluding interest expense, a provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. The Company considers EBITDA to be a useful measure of operating performance, due to the significance of the Company's long-lived assets and level of indebtedness.

Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) asset dispositions for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments; (ii) foreign currency transactions; (iii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iv) non-cash impairment losses; (v) furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") replacement reserves required under certain lease agreements; (vi) reorganization costs; (vii) share-based compensation expense; (viii) severance, relocation and other expenses; and (ix) other items.

Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues, excluding other revenues from managed and franchised properties.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company's definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors about the Company and its financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are among the measures used by the Company's management team to evaluate its operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in the industry.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

Net Income and EPS, Adjusted for Special Items

Net income and EPS, adjusted for special items, are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company's definition of Net income and EPS, adjusted for special items, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net income and EPS, adjusted for special items, are included to assist investors in performing meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means of highlighting the results of the Company's ongoing operations.

Net Debt

Net debt, presented herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate its financial leverage. Net debt is calculated as (i) long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; (ii) the Company's share of investments in affiliate debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; reduced by (a) cash and cash equivalents; and (b) restricted cash and cash equivalents.

The Company believes Net debt provides useful information about its indebtedness to investors as it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the indebtedness of companies. Net debt should not be considered as a substitute to debt presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net debt may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio

Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, presented herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is included as it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the financial condition of companies. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio should not be considered as an alternative to measures of financial condition derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and it may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies.

Comparable Hotels

The Company defines comparable hotels as those that: (i) were active and operating in the Company's system for at least one full calendar year as of the end of the current period, and open January 1st of the previous year; (ii) have not undergone a change in brand or ownership during the current or comparable periods reported; and (iii) have not sustained substantial property damage, business interruption, undergone large-scale capital projects or for which comparable results are not available.

Of the 4,680 hotels in the Company's system as of June 30, 2016, 3,795 were classified as comparable hotels. The 885 non-comparable hotels included 196 properties, or approximately four percent of the total hotels in the system, that were removed from the comparable group during the last twelve months because they sustained substantial property damage, business interruption, underwent large-scale capital projects or comparable results were not available.

Occupancy

Occupancy represents the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available at a hotel or group of hotels. Occupancy measures the utilization of the hotels' available capacity. Management uses occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help management determine achievable Average Daily Rate levels as demand for hotel rooms increases or decreases.

Average Daily Rate ("ADR")

ADR represents hotel room revenue divided by total number of room nights sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. ADR is a commonly used performance measure in the industry, and management uses ADR to assess pricing levels that the Company is able to generate by type of customer, as changes in rates have a different effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above.

Revenue per Available Room ("RevPAR")

The Company calculates RevPAR by dividing hotel room revenue by room nights available to guests for a given period. Management considers RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company's performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key drivers of operations at a hotel or group of hotels: occupancy and ADR. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods for comparable hotels.

References to RevPAR, ADR and occupancy throughout this press release are presented on a comparable basis and references to RevPAR and ADR are presented on a currency neutral basis (all periods use the same exchange rates), unless otherwise noted.
