WYNDHAM HOTELS & RESORTS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
PARSIPPANY, N.J., October 28, 2020 - Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Highlights include:
Diluted earnings per share was $0.29, and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.36.
Net income was $27 million for the third quarter and adjusted net income was $34 million.
Adjusted EBITDA was $101 million.
Generated $97 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $92 million of free cash flow.
Global comparable RevPAR declined 35% year-over-year.
System-wide rooms declined 2% year-over-year.
Paid quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share.
Issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes in August 2020, due 2028, the net proceeds of which were used in full to repay then-outstanding revolver borrowings.
“In the face of continued industry uncertainty, our leisure-oriented, drive-to franchise business model generated $101 million of adjusted EBITDA and $92 million of free cash flow," said Geoffrey A. Ballotti, president and chief executive officer. “Over 99% of our domestic and over 97% of our global portfolio are open today. RevPAR improved sequentially across the globe, and in the U.S., our economy and midscale brands continued to gain market share. Third quarter room openings also improved sequentially both in the U.S. and internationally and we grew our pipeline by 3% to 185,000 rooms globally. Importantly, we executed 152 hotel agreements, including 23% more domestic conversion signings than the third quarter of 2019. As always, we remain dedicated to supporting our owners around the world during these very challenging times.”
Revenues declined from $560 million in the third quarter of 2019 to $337 million in the third quarter of 2020. The decline includes lower pass-through cost-reimbursement revenues of $79 million, which have no impact on adjusted EBITDA, in the Company's hotel management business. Excluding cost-reimbursement revenues, revenues declined $144 million primarily reflecting a 35% decline in comparable RevPAR and the impact from hotels temporarily closed due to COVID-19.
The Company generated net income of $27 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $45 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019. The decline in net income of $18 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, was primarily due to the revenue declines, which were partially offset by cost containment initiatives, lower volume-related expenses and the absence of contract termination and transaction-related



expenses. Full reconciliations of GAAP results to the Company's non-GAAP adjusted measures for all reported periods appear in the tables to this press release.
Business Segment Discussion
The following discussion of third quarter operating results focuses on revenue and adjusted EBITDA for each of the Company’s segments.
Hotel Franchising
20202019% Change
System size748,200758,400(1)
Global RevPAR$28.83 $45.23 (36)
Revenue (millions)$236 $379 (38)
Adjusted EBITDA (millions)117 195 (40)

The Company's franchised system, which included 8,500 rooms transferred from the hotel management segment related to the CorePoint Lodging asset sales, declined 1% globally. Excluding the transfer, franchised net rooms declined 2% globally, reflecting the Company's previously announced removal of non-compliant and brand detracting rooms, of which approximately 9,000 were removed during the second quarter and approximately 7,900 were removed during the third quarter.
RevPAR declined 36% globally, reflecting a 31% decline in the U.S. and a 50% decline internationally. On a comparable basis, which is in constant currency and excludes hotels temporarily closed due to COVID-19, global RevPAR declined 33%, reflecting a 30% decline in the U.S. and a 43% decline internationally.
Revenues decreased $143 million compared to third quarter 2019 reflecting the impact of COVID-19 on travel demand globally, while a decline in adjusted EBITDA of $78 million was partially mitigated by cost containment initiatives and lower volume-related expenses.
Hotel Management
20202019% Change
System size55,80063,400(12)
Global RevPAR$34.34 $66.65 (48)
Revenue (millions)$101 $180 (44)
Adjusted EBITDA (millions)13 N/A

The Company's managed system globally decreased 12%, primarily reflecting the transfer of 8,500 rooms to the hotel franchising segment as a result of CorePoint Lodging asset sales. Excluding the transfer of rooms to the hotel franchising segment, the Company's managed system increased 2% primarily reflecting growth internationally, partially offset by the Company's previously announced removal of approximately 1,300 unprofitable management guarantee hotel rooms during the third quarter.

RevPAR declined 48% globally, including a 45% decline in the U.S. and a 56% decline internationally. On a comparable basis, which excludes hotels temporarily closed due to COVID-19, global RevPAR declined 46%, including a 43% decline in the U.S. and a 51% decline internationally.
Revenues decreased $79 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to lower cost-reimbursement revenues, which have no impact on adjusted EBITDA. Absent cost-reimbursements, revenues were unchanged as the unfavorable impact of COVID-19 on travel demand globally was offset by the absence of a $20 million fee credit recorded as a reduction to hotel-management revenues in the third quarter of 2019, which was considered transaction-related and therefore did not impact Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA declined $11 million as the RevPAR impacts were partially mitigated by cost containment initiatives and lower volume-related expenses.
Development
As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s hotel system of approximately 9,000 properties and 804,000 rooms declined 2% year-over-year. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company opened 76 hotels totaling 9,600 rooms, a year-over-year decline of 34% due to delays resulting from the pandemic.
As expected, the Company's global retention rate over the last twelve months declined to 92.6% compared to 94.9% during the same period last year due to the Company's removal of approximately 9,000 non-compliant master franchise rooms in China during the second quarter; and the Company’s removal of approximately 9,200 additional non-compliant, unprofitable and brand detracting rooms in the third quarter.
The Company’s development pipeline consisted of 1,400 hotels and approximately 185,000 rooms, a 3% decline year-over-year, or a 3% increase sequentially. Approximately 64% of the Company’s development pipeline is international and 76% is new construction, of which 33% have broken ground.
Cash and Liquidity
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company’s cash balance increased $71 million to $735 million, including the issuance of $500 million of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at 4.375%, the net proceeds of which were used in full to repay then-outstanding revolver borrowings. In addition, the Company made $10 million of special-item cash outlays, primarily reflecting COVID-19 related restructuring payments, during the third quarter. As of September 30, 2020, the total capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility was $501 million and the Company had approximately $1.2 billion in total liquidity.
Dividends

The Company paid common stock dividends of $7 million, or $0.08 per share, in the third quarter of 2020.

HISTORICAL REVENUE AND ADJUSTED EBITDA BY SEGMENT
The reportable segments presented below represent our operating segments for which separate financial information is available and is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. In identifying our reportable segments, we also consider the nature of services provided by our operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon net revenues and adjusted EBITDA. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of performance for our segments which, when considered with GAAP measures, allows a more complete understanding of our operating performance. We use these measures internally to assess operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and to make day to day operating decisions, including in the evaluation of selected compensation decisions. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Free Cash Flow:
We define free cash flow to be net cash provided by operating activities less property and equipment additions, which we also refer to as capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow to be a useful operating performance measure to us and investors to evaluate the ability of our operations to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures and, after debt service and other obligations, our ability to grow our business through acquisitions and investments, as well as our ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. This non-GAAP measure is not necessarily a representation of how we will use excess cash. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating Wyndham Hotels is that free cash flow does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
(In millions)
The tables below reconcile certain non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of these adjustments is intended to permit the comparison of particular adjustments as they appear in the income statement in order to assist investors’ understanding of the overall impact of such adjustments. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS financial measures provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations because these measures are used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions and adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry. These measures also assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which may be recurring or non-recurring and which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. These supplemental disclosures are in addition to GAAP reported measures. These non-GAAP reconciliation tables should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.

DEFINITIONS

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS: Represents net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share excluding acquisition-related amortization, impairment charges, restructuring and related charges, contract termination costs, transaction-related items (acquisition-, disposition-, or separation-related) and foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries. We calculate the income tax effect of the adjustments using an estimated effective tax rate applicable to each adjustment.
Adjusted EBITDA: Represents net income (loss) excluding interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, restructuring and related charges, contract termination costs, transaction-related items (acquisition-, disposition-, or separation-related), foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Average Daily Rate (ADR): Represents the average rate charged for renting a lodging room for one day.
Average Occupancy Rate: Represents the percentage of available rooms occupied during the period.
Comparable RevPAR: Represents RevPAR in constant currency and excluding hotels temporarily closed due to COVID-19 for the period closed and the comparable prior-year period. The use of the term "comparable" or "comparable basis" herein in connection with RevPAR refers to the defined term Comparable RevPAR.
Constant Currency: Represents a comparison eliminating the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations between periods (foreign currency translation) and the impact caused by any foreign exchange related activities (i.e., hedges, balance sheet remeasurements and/or adjustments).
Number of Rooms: Represents the number of rooms at the end of the period which are (i) either under franchise and/or management agreements or Company-owned and (ii) properties under affiliation agreements for which we receive a fee for reservation and/or other services provided.
RevPAR: Represents revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying average occupancy rate by ADR.
Royalty Rate: Represents the average royalty rate earned on our franchised properties and is calculated by dividing total royalties, excluding the impact of amortization of development advance notes, by total room revenues.
