Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations and statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words believes, expects, anticipates, intends, plans, estimates, or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. We caution you not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed in Exhibit 99-1 and elsewhere in this quarterly report, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.
| competition in each of our business segments; |
| business strategies and their intended results; |
| the balance between supply of and demand for hotel rooms, timeshare units and corporate apartments; |
| our continued ability to obtain new operating contracts and franchise agreements; |
| our ability to develop and maintain positive relations with current and potential hotel owners; |
| our ability to obtain adequate property and liability insurance to protect against losses or to obtain such insurance at reasonable rates; |
| the effect of international, national and regional economic conditions, including the duration and severity of the current economic downturn in the United States, the pace of the lodging industrys adjustment to the continuing war on terrorism, the unknown pace of recovery from the decrease in travel caused by the recent military action in Iraq, and the possible further decline in travel if military action is taken elsewhere; |
| the impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) on travel, particularly if recent apparent successes in efforts to control the disease are not maintained, or travel is slow to return to the affected areas; |
| our ability to recover our loan and guarantee advances from hotel operations or from owners through the proceeds of hotel sales, refinancing of debt or otherwise; |
| the availability of capital to allow us and potential and current hotel owners to fund investments and refurbishment of existing hotels; |
| rejection by the Internal Revenue Service of our synthetic fuel tax credits on audit or its failure to issue a new private letter ruling enabling the purchaser of an interest in our synthetic fuel business to exercise its one-time option to return its ownership interests to us; |
| interruption of our synthetic fuel operations due to problems at any of our operations, the power plants that buy synthetic fuel from us or the coal mines where we buy coal, which could be caused by accidents, union activity, severe weather or other similar unpredictable events; |
| the effect that internet reservation channels may have on the rates that we are able to charge for hotel rooms and timeshare intervals; and |
| other risks described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). |

MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The condensed consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, we, us or the Company).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, you should read the condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2003. Certain terms not otherwise defined in this quarterly report have the meanings specified in such Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.
In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 20, 2003 and January 3, 2003 and the results of operations for the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002 and cash flows for the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. We have eliminated all material intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Our sales include (1) base and incentive management fees, (2) franchise fees, (3) sales from lodging properties owned or leased by us, (4) cost reimbursements, (5) other lodging revenue, and (6) sales made by our Synthetic Fuel business. Management fees comprise a base fee, which is a percentage of the revenues of hotels and an incentive fee, which is generally based on unit profitability. Franchise fees comprise initial application fees and continuing royalties generated from our franchise programs, which permit the hotel owners and operators to use certain of our brand names. Cost reimbursements include direct and indirect costs that are reimbursed to us by lodging properties that we manage or franchise. Other lodging revenue includes sales from our Timeshare and ExecuStay businesses (excluding base fees, reimbursed costs and franchise fees).
Management Fees: We recognize base fees as revenue when earned in accordance with the contract. In interim periods and at year end we recognize incentive fees that would be due as if the contract were to terminate at that date, exclusive of any termination fees payable or receivable by us. For the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003 we have recognized $57 million of incentive management fees, retention of which is dependent on achievement of hotel profitability for the balance of the year at levels specified in a number of our management contracts.
Timeshare: We recognize revenue from timeshare interest sales in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate. We recognize sales when a
7
minimum of 10 percent of the purchase price for the timeshare interval has been received, the period of cancellation with refund has expired, we deem receivables collectible and we have attained certain minimum sales and construction levels. For sales that do not meet these criteria, we defer all revenue using the deposit method.
Owned and Leased Units: We recognize room sales and revenues for our owned and leased units, including ExecuStay, when rooms are occupied and services have been rendered.
Franchise Revenue: We recognize franchise fee revenues in accordance with FAS No. 45, Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue. We recognize franchise fees as revenue in each accounting period as fees are earned and become receivable from the franchisee.
Cost Reimbursements: We recognize cost reimbursements, in accordance with operating agreements, from managed and franchised properties when we incur the related reimbursable costs.
Synthetic Fuel: We recognize revenue from the Synthetic Fuel business when the synthetic fuel is produced and sold.
2. | New Accounting Standards |
We adopted the disclosure provisions of FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, in the fourth quarter of 2002. We applied the recognition and measurement provisions for guarantees issued in the first and second quarters of 2003 and there was no material impact on our financial statements.
FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, is effective immediately for all enterprises with variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The provisions of FIN 46 must be applied to variable interests in variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003 from the beginning of the third quarter of 2003. If an entity is determined to be a variable interest entity, it must be consolidated by the enterprise that absorbs the majority of the entitys expected losses if they occur, receives a majority of the entitys expected residual returns if they occur, or both. Where it is reasonably possible that the company will consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity, the company must disclose the nature, purpose, size and activity of the variable interest entity and the companys maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the variable interest entity in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. We are currently reviewing the potential impact of FIN 46 on our financial statements and we expect any disclosure or consolidation requirements arising from the adoption will be immaterial.

We compute the effect of dilutive securities using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the period. We determine dilution based on earnings from continuing operations.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not include the following because the inclusion would have an antidilutive impact for the applicable period: (a) for the twelve week and twenty-four week periods ended June 20, 2003, 6.9 million and 7.3 million options, respectively, and (b) for the twelve and twenty-four week periods ended June 14, 2002, 5.6 million and 5.8 million options, respectively.
4. | Stock-Based Compensation |
We have several stock-based employee compensation plans that we account for using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Accordingly, we do not reflect stock-based employee compensation cost in net income for our Stock Option Program, the Supplemental Executive Stock Option awards or the Stock Purchase Plan. We recognized stock-based employee compensation cost of $5 million and $2 million, net of tax, for deferred share grants, restricted share grants and restricted stock units for the twelve weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002. For the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002, we recognized stock-based employee compensation costs of $9 million and $4 million, respectively. Included in 2003 compensation for the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003, is $4 million net of tax related to the grant of approximately 1.9 million units under the
9
employee restricted stock unit program which was started in the first quarter of 2003. At June 20, 2003, there was approximately $52 million in deferred compensation related to unit grants. Under the unit plan, fixed grants will be awarded annually to certain employees.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation. The impact of measured but unrecognized compensation cost and excess tax benefits credited to additional paid-in capital is included in the denominator of the diluted pro forma shares for all periods presented.

5. | Marriott Rewards |
We defer revenue received from managed, franchised, and Marriott-owned/leased hotels and program partners equal to the fair value of our future redemption obligation. We recognize the component of revenue from program partners that corresponds to program maintenance services over the expected life of the points awarded. Upon the redemption of points, we recognize as revenue the amounts previously deferred, and recognize the corresponding expense relating to the cost of the awards redeemed. The liability for the Marriott Rewards program was $728 million at June 20, 2003 and $683 million at January 3, 2003 of which $437 million and $418 million, respectively, are included in other long-term liabilities and deferred income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
6. | Dispositions |
In the second quarter of 2003, we sold two lodging properties for $98 million in cash. We will continue to operate the two hotels under long-term management agreements. The sales are accounted for under the full accrual method of accounting in accordance with FAS No. 66. The properties were sold for a gain of $4 million, which is deferred until certain contingencies in the sales contract expire.
7. | Comprehensive Income |
Total comprehensive income was $160 million and $138 million, for the twelve weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002, respectively, and $274 million and $218 million, respectively, for the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002. The principal difference between net income and total comprehensive income for the applicable 2003 and 2002 periods relates to foreign currency translation adjustments.

8. | Business Segments |
We are a diversified hospitality company with operations in five business segments:
| Full-Service Lodging, which includes Marriott Hotels and Resorts; The Ritz-Carlton Hotels; Renaissance Hotels and Resorts; and Ramada International; |
| Select-Service Lodging, which includes Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites; |
| Extended-Stay Lodging, which includes Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Marriott ExecuStay and Marriott Executive Apartments; |
| Timeshare, which includes the operation, ownership, development and marketing of timeshare properties under the Marriott Vacation Club International, The Ritz-Carlton Club, Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club International and Marriott Grand Residence Club brands; and |
| Synthetic Fuel, which includes the operation of our coal-based synthetic fuel production facilities. Our Synthetic Fuel Business generated tax benefits and credits of $68 million and $58 million for the twelve weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002, respectively, and $146 million and $65 million for the twenty-four weeks then ended. |
We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, interest expense, interest income or income taxes (segment financial results).
11
We have aggregated the brands and businesses presented within each of our segments considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, distribution channels, and the regulatory business environment of the brands and operations within each segment.

9. | Contingencies |
We issue guarantees to certain lenders and hotel owners primarily to obtain long-term management contracts. The guarantees have a stated maximum amount of funding and the terms are generally five years or less. The terms of guarantees to lenders generally require us to fund if cash flows from hotel operations are not adequate to cover annual debt service or to repay the loan at the end of the term. The terms of the guarantees to hotel owners generally require us to fund if specified levels of operating profit are not obtained.
We also enter into project completion guarantees with certain lenders in conjunction with hotels and timeshare units that are being built by us.
Additionally, we enter into guarantees in conjunction with the sale of notes receivable originated by our timeshare business. These guarantees have terms of between seven and ten years. The terms of the guarantees require us to repurchase a limited amount of non-performing loans under certain circumstances. When we repurchase non-performing timeshare loans, we will either collect the outstanding loan balance in full or foreclose on the asset and subsequently resell it.
Our guarantees include $406 million related to Senior Living Services lease obligations and lifecare bonds. Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. (Sunrise) is the primary obligor of the leases and a portion of the lifecare bonds and CNL Retirement Properties, Inc. (CNL) is the primary obligor of the remainder of the lifecare bonds. Marriott International, Inc. has been indemnified by Sunrise and CNL with respect to any guarantee fundings in connection with these lease obligations and lifecare bonds. Prior to the sale of the Senior Living Services business these pre-existing guarantees were guarantees by Marriott International, Inc. of obligations of consolidated Senior Living Services subsidiaries. Our guarantees additionally include $51 million of guarantees associated with the Sunrise sale transaction.
The maximum potential amount of future fundings and the carrying amount of the liability for expected future fundings at June 20, 2003 are as follows ($ in millions):

Our guarantees listed above include $257 million for commitments which will not be in effect until the underlying hotels are open and we begin to manage the properties. Guarantee fundings to lenders and hotel owners are generally recoverable in the form of a loan and are generally repayable to us out of future hotel cash flows and/or proceeds from the sale of hotels.
As of June 20, 2003, we had extended approximately $192 million of loan commitments to owners of lodging properties and senior living communities under which we expect to fund approximately $118 million by January 2, 2004, and $28 million in one to three years.
Letters of credit outstanding on our behalf at June 20, 2003 totaled $107 million, the majority of which related to our self-insurance programs. Surety bonds issued on our behalf as of June 20, 2003 totaled $403 million, the majority of which were requested by federal, state, or local governments related to our timeshare and lodging operations and self-insurance programs.

Third-parties have severally indemnified us for guarantees by us of leases with minimum annual payments of approximately $57 million.
Litigation and Arbitration
Green Isle litigation. All claims in this matter, which we discussed in Contingencies notes in our prior periodic reports and which pertained to The Ritz-Carlton San Juan (Puerto Rico) Hotel, Spa and Casino, were dismissed with prejudice and released pursuant to the Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization which was confirmed by the bankruptcy court on May 1, 2003.
CTF/HPI arbitration and litigation. On April 8, 2002, we initiated an arbitration proceeding against CTF Hotel Holdings, Inc. (CTF) and its affiliate, Hotel Property Investments (B.V.I.) Ltd. (HPI), in connection with a dispute over procurement issues for certain Renaissance hotels and resorts that we manage for CTF and HPI. On April 12, 2002, CTF filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Delaware against us and Avendra LLC, alleging that, in connection with procurement at 20 of those hotels, we engaged in improper acts of self-dealing, and claiming breach of fiduciary, contractual and other duties; fraud; misrepresentation; and violations of the RICO and the Robinson-Patman Acts. CTF seeks various remedies, including a stay of the arbitration proceedings against CTF and unspecified actual, treble and punitive damages. The district court enjoined the arbitration with respect to CTF, but granted our request to stay the court proceedings pending the resolution of the arbitration with respect to HPI. Both parties have appealed that ruling. The arbitration panel granted HPIs request to postpone the hearing which was scheduled to commence in October 2003, but has yet to set a new date.
In Town Hotels litigation. On May 23, 2002, In Town Hotels filed suit against us, subsequently amended to include Avendra, LLC, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia alleging that, in connection with the management, procurement and rebates related to the Charleston, West Virginia Marriott, we misused confidential information, improperly allocated corporate overhead to the hotel, engaged in improper self dealing, failed to disclose information related to the above to In Town Hotels, and breached obligations owed to In Town Hotels by refusing to replace the hotels general manager and by opening two additional hotels in the Charleston area. In Town Hotels claims breach of contract, breach of fiduciary and other duties, conversion, violation of the West Virginia Unfair Trade Practices Act, fraud, misrepresentation, negligence, violations of the Robinson-Patman Act, and other related causes of action, and seeks various remedies, including unspecified compensatory and exemplary damages, return of $18.5 million in management fees, and a declaratory judgment terminating the management agreement. We denied the allegations and intend to vigorously contest the case. On June 15, 2003 the parties jointly entered into a stay of the proceedings in order to determine if the matter could be resolved. That stay was recently extended until August 13, 2003. Trial is scheduled for March 2004.
Strategic Hotel litigation. On August 20, 2002, several direct or indirect subsidiaries of Strategic Hotel Capital, L.L.C. (Strategic) filed suit against us in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California in a dispute related to the management, procurement and rebates related to three California hotels that we manage for Strategic. Strategic alleges that we misused confidential information related to the hotels, improperly allocated corporate overhead to the hotels, engaged in improper self dealing with regard to procurement and rebates, and failed to disclose information related to the above to Strategic. Strategic also claims breach of contract, breach of fiduciary and other duties, unfair and deceptive business practices, unfair competition, and other related causes of action. Strategic seeks various remedies, including unspecified compensatory and exemplary damages, and a declaratory judgment terminating our management agreements. We have filed a cross complaint alleging a breach of Strategics covenant not to sue, a breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of an agreement to arbitrate, and a breach of The California Unfair Competition Statute. A discovery referee has been appointed, but no trial date has been set.
Senior Housing and Five Star litigation. We and Marriott Senior Living Services, Inc. (SLS) (which on March 28, 2003, became a subsidiary of Sunrise) are party to actions in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland and the Superior Court for Middlesex County, Massachusetts both initiated on November 27, 2002. These actions relate to 31 senior living communities that SLS operates for Senior Housing Properties Trust (SNH) and Five Star Quality Care, Inc. (FVE), and SNH/FVEs attempt to terminate the operating agreements for these communities. In the Massachusetts action,
14
SNH/FVE sought a declaration that the operating agreements between FVE and SLS created a principal-agent relationship, and that SNH/FVE could therefore terminate the agreements at will. The Massachusetts court dismissed that action on March 4, 2003 and entered judgement declaring that (i) the Company could sell the stock of SLS to Sunrise without obtaining SNH/FVEs consent, (ii) the Company could remove Marriott proprietary marks from the communities and (iii) that the relationship in the operating agreements was not an agency relationship and not terminable other than as set forth in the agreements. SNH/FVE has appealed the Massachusetts dismissal and declaration. In the Maryland action, we and SLS are seeking, among other relief, a declaration that SLS is not in default or material breach of the operating agreements and a declaration that SNH/FVE had anticipatorily breached those agreements by violating their termination provisions. Trial in the Maryland action is scheduled to begin in April 2004.
Senior Care Associates litigation. All claims in this matter, which we discussed in Contingencies notes in our prior periodic reports and which pertained to fourteen Brighton Gardens properties which we beneficially own and which SLS manages, were settled and dismissed without prejudice on July 2, 2003.
Whitehouse Hotel litigation. On April 7, 2003, Whitehouse Hotel Limited Partnership and WH Holdings, L.L.C., the owners of the New Orleans Ritz-Carlton Hotel, filed suit against us and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. (Ritz-Carlton) in the Civil District Court for the Parish of New Orleans, Louisiana. Ritz-Carlton manages the hotel under contracts that identify it as an independent contractor, and that contain no territorial restrictions either on other Ritz-Carlton hotels or on Marriott hotels. Whitehouse sought a temporary restraining order and injunction to prevent us from managing, under the JW Marriott flag, the former LeMeridien hotel in New Orleans, claiming that the conversion to a JW Marriott would irreparably injure and damage the Ritz-Carlton hotel. The complaint against us and Ritz-Carlton alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary and other duties, violation of the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act, breach of implied duty of good faith, civil conspiracy, and detrimental reliance. In addition to unspecified compensatory damages, Whitehouse seeks to enjoin the Company and Ritz-Carlton from both entering into any agreement to operate the former LeMeridien hotel and using or disclosing any confidential information of the New Orleans Ritz-Carlton, Iberville Suites and Maison Orleans hotels. Whitehouse also seeks a declaration of its right to terminate the operating agreements for cause. The court denied both Whitehouses motion for a temporary restraining order on April 11, 2003 and its request for expedited discovery on April 15, 2003. In an amended complaint filed on April 23, 2003, Whitehouse added CNL Hospitality Corp. as a defendant, and demanded a jury trial. We moved to dismiss the amended complaint on June 9, 2003, and our motion is scheduled to be heard on August 29, 2003.
We believe that each of the foregoing claims against us and against SLS are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them. However, we cannot assure you as to the outcome of these lawsuits nor can we currently estimate the range of potential losses to the Company.
Shareholders derivative action against our directors.
On January 16, 2003, Daniel and Raizel Taubenfeld filed a shareholders derivative action in Delaware state court against each member of our Board of Directors and against Avendra LLC. The company is named as a nominal defendant. The individual defendants are accused of exposing the company to accusations and lawsuits which allege wrongdoing on the part of the company. The complaint alleges that, as a result, the companys reputation has been damaged leading to business losses and the compelled renegotiation of some management contracts. The substantive allegations of the complaint are derived exclusively from prior press reports. No damage claim is made against us and no specific damage number is asserted as to the individual defendants. Both the directors and the Company have moved to dismiss this action.

10. | Convertible Debt |
Approximately $70 million in face amount of our zero-coupon convertible senior notes due 2021, known as LYONs are presently outstanding. These LYONs which were issued on May 8, 2001, are convertible into approximately 0.9 million shares of our Class A Common Stock, and carry a yield to maturity of 0.75 percent. We may not redeem the LYONs prior to May 8, 2004. We may at the option of the holders be required to purchase the LYONs at their accreted value on May 8 of each of 2004, 2011 and 2016. We may choose to pay the purchase price for redemptions or repurchases in cash and/or shares of our Class A Common Stock.
We classify LYONs as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the obligation with long-term debt if we are required to repurchase the LYONs.
11. | Restructuring Costs and Other Charges |
The Company experienced a significant decline in demand for hotel rooms in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington and the subsequent dramatic downturn in the economy. This decline resulted in reduced management and franchise fees, cancellation of development projects, and anticipated losses under guarantees and loans. In 2001, we responded by implementing certain companywide cost-saving measures, although we did not significantly change the scope of our operations. As a result of our restructuring plan, in the fourth quarter of 2001 we recorded pretax restructuring costs of $62 million, including (1) $15 million in severance costs; (2) $19 million, primarily associated with a loss on a sublease of excess space arising from the reduction in personnel; (3) $28 million related to the write-off of capitalized costs for development projects no longer deemed viable. We also incurred $142 million of other charges including (1) $85 million related to reserves for guarantees and loan losses; (2) $12 million related to accounts receivable reserves; (3) $13 million related to the write-down of properties held for sale; and (4) $32 million related to the impairment of technology related investments and other write-offs.
The following table summarizes our remaining restructuring liability ($ in millions):

In addition to the above, in 2001, we recorded restructuring charges of $62 million and other charges of $5 million for our Senior Living Services and Distribution Services businesses. The restructuring liability related to these discontinued operations was $1 million as of January 3, 2003 and was recorded on the balance sheet as liabilities of businesses held for sale. There was no restructuring liability related to discontinued operations as of June 20, 2003.

12. | Assets Held for SaleDiscontinued Operations |
Senior Living Services
On December 17, 2002, we sold twelve senior living communities to CNL for approximately $89 million in cash. We accounted for the sale under the full accrual method in accordance with FAS No. 66, and we recorded an after-tax loss of approximately $13 million. On December 30, 2002, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our senior living management business to Sunrise and to sell nine senior living communities to CNL. We completed these sales to Sunrise and CNL in addition to the related sale of a parcel of land to Sunrise on March 28, 2003, for $266 million and recognized a gain, net of taxes, of $23 million.
Also, on December 30, 2002, we purchased 14 senior living communities for approximately $15 million in cash, plus the assumption of $227 million in debt, from an unrelated owner. We had previously agreed to provide a form of credit enhancement on the outstanding debt related to these communities. Management has approved and committed to a plan to sell these communities within 12 months. As part of that plan, on March 31, 2003, we acquired all of the subordinated credit-enhanced mortgage securities relating to the 14 communities in a transaction in which we issued $46 million of unsecured Marriott International, Inc. notes, due April 2004. As a result of the above transactions, at June 20, 2003, the operating results of our Senior Living Services segment are reported in discontinued operations, and the remaining assets are classified as assets held for sale on the balance sheet.

Accordingly, we present the exit costs and the operating results for our distribution services business as discontinued operations for the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002, and the remaining assets are classified as held for sale at June 20, 2003 and January 3, 2003.

13. | Subsequent Events |
On June 21, 2003, we completed the previously announced sale of an approximately 50 percent interest in the Synthetic Fuel business. We received cash and promissory notes totaling $25 million at closing and we will receive additional profits over the life of the venture based on the amount of tax credits allocated to the purchaser. The transaction announced in January 2003 was subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of a satisfactory private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the new ownership structure, however, both parties agreed to close on the transaction prior to receipt of a new private letter ruling. In the event the private letter ruling is not obtained by December 15, 2003, the purchaser will have a onetime option to return its ownership interest to us. To exercise this option, the purchaser would have to pay us $10 million and receive from us certain additional representations and warranties related to the 2003 tax credits allocated to the purchaser. If the private letter ruling is not obtained and the purchaser returns its interest in the Synthetic Fuel business to us, our contingent obligation under the representations and warranties would be included as a guarantee and accounted for under the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The maximum amount of the contingent obligation would depend on the number of tax credits produced and allocated to the purchaser in 2003 and could range from $85 million to $170 million.
On June 27, 2003, the IRS issued Announcement 2003-46 publicly confirming that it had temporarily suspended the issuance of any new private letter rulings regarding tax credits generated under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code. In that announcement, the IRS indicated that it was reviewing the science behind whether existing processes cause coal feedstock to undergo significant chemical change as required by Section 29. We have in place rigorous procedures to ensure compliance with all of the requirements of Section 29, thus we remain confident that our existing private letter rulings and all of the tax credits claimed by us are valid. We, together with our outside tax advisors and scientific experts, intend to continue to work closely with the IRS to obtain our pending private letter rulings in a timely manner.
Given the presence of the onetime right, we expect to consolidate the joint venture for accounting purposes until the right expires. Thereafter, if the right is not exercised, we will use the equity method of accounting.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Continuing Operations
The following discussion presents an analysis of results of our operations for the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002.
Twelve Weeks Ended June 20, 2003 Compared to Twelve Weeks Ended June 14, 2002
Income from continuing operations, net of taxes decreased 1 percent to $126 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations advanced 6 percent to $0.52. Sales remained stable at $2 billion. Income from continuing operations reflected a net benefit of $26 million associated with our Synthetic Fuel business, and reflected a 9 percent decline in our lodging business results.
Marriott Lodging, which includes our Full-Service, Select-Service, Extended-Stay, and Timeshare segments, reported a 9 percent decrease in financial results on slightly lower sales. The results reflect the continued decline in hotel demand, partially offset by new unit additions and an increase in timeshare note sales. We recognized $32 million of timeshare note sale gains in the second quarter of 2003, compared to $15 million in the 2002 second quarter. We sold $130 million in notes in the quarter, compared to $85 million in the quarter ended June 14, 2002. Lodging sales remained steady at $2 billion and systemwide lodging sales remained stable at $4.4 billion. The reconciliation of sales to systemwide sales for the second quarter is as follows ($ in millions):

$ | 4,418 | $ | 4,420 | ||
We consider Lodging systemwide sales to be a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the growth in revenues of all of the properties that carry one of the Marriott brand names. Our growth in profitability is in large part driven by such overall revenue growth.

We added a total of 55 lodging properties (7,449 rooms) during the second quarter of 2003, while four hotels (1,327 rooms) exited the system, increasing our total properties to 2,640 (477,397 rooms).

We consider Revenue per Available Room (REVPAR) to be a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period over period change in room revenues for comparable properties. We calculate REVPAR by dividing room sales for comparable properties by room nights available to guests for the period. REVPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures such as revenues. We have not presented statistics for Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites company-operated North American propertiessince these brands only have a few properties that we operate, the information would not be meaningful (identified as nm in the tables below). Systemwide statistics include data from our franchised properties, in addition to our owned, leased and managed properties. Systemwide international statistics by region are based on comparable worldwide units, excluding North America, and reflect constant foreign exchange rates. The following tables show occupancy, average daily rate and REVPAR for each of our principal established brands:

Across our Lodging brands, REVPAR for comparable company-operated North American properties declined by an average of 6.2 percent in the second quarter of 2003. Average room rates for these hotels declined 2.8 percent and occupancy decreased 2.5 percentage points, to 70.7 percent.
Across Marriotts North American Full-Service lodging brands (Marriott Hotels and Resorts; Renaissance Hotels and Resorts; and The Ritz-Carlton Hotels), REVPAR for comparable company-operated North American properties declined 6.4 percent. Average room rates for these hotels declined 2.9 percent and occupancy decreased 2.6 percentage points to 69.8 percent.
Our North American Select-Service and Extended-Stay brands (Fairfield Inn; Courtyard; Residence Inn; SpringHill Suites; and TownePlace Suites) had, for comparable company-operated North American properties, average REVPAR declines of 5.5 percent and average room rate declines of 2.5 percent, while occupancy decreased 2.3 percentage points.
International lodging reported a decrease in the results of operations, reflecting the impact of the war in Iraq and SARS on international travel.
The financial results of our Timeshare brands (Marriott Vacation Club International; The Ritz-Carlton Club; Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club International; and Marriott Grand Residence Club) increased 13 percent, to $44 million. The increase is primarily attributable to higher note sale gains of $32 million compared to $15 million in the second quarter of 2002. Second quarter 2003 results, compared to second quarter 2002 results also reflect a 7 percent increase in contract sales. While contract sales increased, a greater proportion of them, including properties in Aruba and Hawaii, were from projects that were under construction and have not yet reached the percent of completion threshold for financially reportable sales.
Corporate Expenses, Interest and Taxes. Corporate expenses increased 4 percent to $24 million. Interest expense increased $4 million, reflecting the impact of the mortgage debt assumed in the fourth quarter of
22
2002 associated with the acquisition of 14 senior living communities, as well as lower capitalized interest resulting from fewer projects under construction, primarily related to our timeshare business. Interest income decreased slightly to $27 million, before reflecting reserves of $1 million for an impaired loan.
The income from continuing operations before income taxes generated a tax benefit of $16 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to a tax provision of $6 million in the second quarter of 2002. The difference was primarily attributable to our Synthetic Fuel business which generated a tax benefit and tax credits totaling $68 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $58 million in the year ago quarter. The 2003 taxes were also impacted by slightly higher state tax rates.
Synthetic Fuel. In October 2001, we acquired four coal-based synthetic fuel production facilities (the Facilities) for $46 million in cash. The synthetic fuel produced at the Facilities qualifies for tax credits based on Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under Section 29, tax credits are not available for synthetic fuel produced after 2007. We began operating these Facilities in the first quarter of 2002. The operation of the Facilities, together with the benefit arising from the tax credits, has been, and we expect will continue to be significantly accretive to our net income. Although the Facilities produce significant losses, these are more than offset by the tax credits generated under Section 29, which reduce our income tax expense. In the second quarter of 2003, our Synthetic Fuel business reflected sales of $63 million and a loss of $42 million, resulting in a tax benefit of $15 million and tax credits of $53 million. In the second quarter of 2002, our Synthetic Fuel business reflected sales of $53 million and a loss of $43 million, resulting in a tax benefit of $15 million and tax credits of $43 million.
On June 21, 2003, we completed the previously announced sale of an approximately 50 percent interest in the Synthetic Fuel business. We received cash and promissory notes totaling $25 million at closing and we will receive additional profits over the life of the venture based on the amount of tax credits allocated to the purchaser. The transaction announced in January 2003 was subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of a satisfactory private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the new ownership structure, however, both parties agreed to close on the transaction prior to receipt of a new private letter ruling. In the event the private letter ruling is not obtained by December 15, 2003, the purchaser will have a onetime option to return its ownership interest to us. To exercise this option, the purchaser would have to pay us $10 million and receive from us certain additional representations and warranties related to the 2003 tax credits allocated to the purchaser. If the private letter ruling is not obtained and the purchaser returns its interest in the Synthetic Fuel business to us, our contingent obligation under the representations and warranties would be included as a guarantee and accounted for under the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The maximum amount of the contingent obligation would depend on the number of tax credits produced and allocated to the purchaser in 2003 and could range from $85 million to $170 million.
On June 27, 2003, the IRS issued Announcement 2003-46 publicly confirming that it had temporarily suspended the issuance of any new private letter rulings regarding tax credits generated under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code. In that announcement, the IRS indicated that it was reviewing the science behind whether existing processes cause coal feedstock to undergo significant chemical change as required by Section 29. We have in place rigorous procedures to ensure compliance with all of the requirements of Section 29, thus we remain confident that our existing private letter rulings and all of the tax credits claimed by us are valid. We, together with our outside tax advisors and scientific experts, intend to continue to work closely with the IRS to obtain our pending private letter rulings in a timely manner.
Given the presence of the onetime right, we expect to consolidate the joint venture for accounting purposes until the right expires. Thereafter, if the right is not exercised, we will use the equity method of accounting.

Twenty-Four Weeks Ended June 20, 2003 Compared to Twenty-Four Weeks Ended June 14, 2002
Income from continuing operations, net of taxes increased 2 percent to $213 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations advanced 7 percent to $0.87. Sales increased 5 percent to $4.1 billion. Income from continuing operations reflected $146 million of tax benefits, including tax credits, offset by $101 million of operating losses, associated with our Synthetic Fuel business, and reflected a 7 percent decline in our lodging business results.
Marriott Lodging, which includes our Full-Service, Select-Service, Extended-Stay, and Timeshare segments, reported a 7 percent decrease in financial results on 4 percent higher sales. The results reflect lower hotel demand, slightly offset by new unit additions. In addition, we recognized $32 million of timeshare note sale gains in the first half of 2003, compared to $28 million in 2002. Lodging sales increased to $3.9 billion and systemwide lodging sales increased to $8.7 billion.
The reconciliation of sales to systemwide sales is as follows ($ in millions):

For North American properties (except for The Ritz-Carlton Hotels), the occupancy, average daily rate and REVPAR statistics used throughout this report for the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003, include the period from January 4, 2003 through June 20, 2003, while the statistics for the twenty-four weeks ended June 14, 2002 include the period from December 29, 2001 through June 14, 2002. The 2003 statistics exclude the impact of the New Years holiday, which is historically a slow week.
Across our Lodging brands, REVPAR for comparable company-operated North American properties declined by an average of 4.0 percent in the first half of 2003. Average room rates for these hotels declined 2.2 percent and occupancy decreased 1.3 percentage points, to 69.2 percent.
Across Marriotts North American Full-Service lodging brands (Marriott Hotels and Resorts; Renaissance Hotels and Resorts; and The Ritz-Carlton Hotels), REVPAR for comparable company-operated North American properties declined 4.2 percent. Average room rates for these hotels declined 2.2 percent and occupancy decreased 1.4 percentage points to 68.6 percent.
Our North American Select-Service and Extended-Stay brands (Fairfield Inn; Courtyard; Residence Inn; SpringHill Suites; and TownePlace Suites) had, for comparable company-operated North American properties, average REVPAR declines of 3.2 percent and average room rate declines of 1.9 percent, while occupancy decreased 1.0 percentage points.
International lodging reported a decrease in the results of operations, reflecting the impact of the war and SARS on International travel.
The financial results of our Timeshare brands (Marriott Vacation Club International; The Ritz-Carlton Club; Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club International; and Marriott Grand Residence Club) decreased 11 percent to $62 million, while contract sales increased 15 percent. The results were impacted by increased financing costs, lower notes receivable, resulting in lower interest income, partially offset by a $4 million increase in note sale gains.
26
We have presented a claim with an insurance company for lost management fees from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we recognized $1 million in income from insurance proceeds; we have not recognized any income in the first two quarters of 2003. Although we expect to realize further proceeds, we cannot currently estimate the amounts that may be paid to us.
Corporate Expenses, Interest and Taxes. Corporate expenses increased 4 percent to $54 million reflecting higher litigation expenses. Interest expense increased $11 million, reflecting the impact of the mortgage debt assumed in the fourth quarter of 2002 associated with the acquisition of 14 senior living communities, as well as lower capitalized interest resulting from fewer projects under construction, primarily related to our timeshare business. Interest income remained unchanged before reflecting reserves of $6 million for impaired loans at three hotels.
The income from continuing operations before income taxes generated a tax benefit of $56 million in the first two quarters of 2003 compared to a tax provision of $42 million in the prior year period. The difference was primarily attributable to our Synthetic Fuel business which generated a tax benefit and tax credits totaling $146 million in the first two quarters of 2003 compared to $65 million in the prior year period.
Discontinued Operations
Senior Living Services.
On December 17, 2002, we sold twelve senior living communities to CNL for approximately $89 million in cash. We accounted for the sale under the full accrual method in accordance with FAS No. 66, and we recorded an after-tax loss of approximately $13 million. On December 30, 2002, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our senior living management business to Sunrise and to sell nine senior living communities to CNL. We completed the sales to Sunrise and CNL in addition to the related sale of a parcel of land to Sunrise on March 28, 2003, for $266 million and recognized a gain, net of taxes, of $23 million.
Also, on December 30, 2002, we purchased 14 senior living communities for approximately $15 million in cash, plus the assumption of $227 million in debt, from an unrelated owner. We had previously agreed to provide a form of credit enhancement on the outstanding debt related to these communities. Management has approved and committed to a plan to sell these communities within 12 months. As part of the plan, on March 31, 2003, we acquired all of the subordinated credit-enhanced mortgage securities relating to the 14 communities in a transaction in which we issued $46 million of unsecured Marriott International, Inc. notes, due April 2004. As a result of the above transactions, at June 20, 2003, the operating results of our Senior Living Services segment are reported in discontinued operations, and the remaining assets are classified as assets held for sale on the balance sheet.
Distribution Services.
As of January 3, 2003, through a combination of sale and transfer of nine facilities and the termination of all operations at four facilities, we completed our exit of the distribution services business. Accordingly, we present the exit costs and the operating results for our distribution services business as discontinued operations for the twelve weeks and twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002, and the remaining assets are classified as held for sale at June 20, 2003 and January 3, 2003. In the first two quarters of 2003, we incurred exit costs, net of tax of $1 million, primarily related to ongoing compensation costs associated with the wind down. The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the first two quarters of 2002 totaled $5 million. Additional costs associated with the wind down are expected to be incurred in the balance of 2003. Although we are unable to estimate the costs, we do not expect the costs to be material since the wind down is substantially complete.
27
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have credit facilities which support our commercial paper program and letters of credit. At June 20, 2003, our cash balances combined with our available borrowing capacity under the credit facilities amounted to $2 billion. We consider these resources, together with cash we expect to generate from operations, adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, finance our long-term growth plans, meet debt service and fulfill other cash requirements, including the repayment of $200 million of senior notes due in November 2003.
We monitor the status of the capital markets, and regularly evaluate the effect that changes in capital market conditions may have on our ability to execute our announced growth plans. We expect that part of our financing and liquidity needs will continue to be met through commercial paper borrowings and access to long-term committed credit facilities. If conditions in the lodging industry deteriorate, we may be unable to place some or all of our commercial paper, and may have to rely more on bank borrowings which may carry a higher cost than commercial paper.
Cash and equivalents totaled $144 million at June 20, 2003, a decrease of $54 million from year end 2002, primarily reflecting the repayment of debt, purchase of treasury stock and capital expenditures, offset by proceeds from dispositions.
Earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from continuing operations is a financial measure that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We consider EBITDA from continuing operations to be an indicator of operating performance, which can be used to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. However, EBITDA from continuing operations is not an alternative to net income, financial results, or any other operating measure prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
EBITDA from continuing operations for the twelve weeks ended June 20, 2003 decreased by $24 million, or 12 percent, to $169 million; and decreased by $85 million, or 24 percent, to $276 million for the twenty-four weeks then ended.
The reconciliation of income from continuing operations, before income taxes to EBITDA from continuing operations is as follows:

Reducing EBITDA from continuing operations are losses associated with our Synthetic Fuel operations of $42 million and $43 million for the twelve weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002, respectively, and $101 million and $49 million for the twenty-four weeks ended the same period. The Synthetic Fuel operating losses include depreciation expense of $3 million and $2 million for the twelve weeks ended June 20, 2003 and June 14, 2002, respectively, and $5 million and $3 million for the twenty-four weeks then ended.
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $266 million for the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003, and consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of our senior living management business to Sunrise and the sale of nine senior living communities and a parcel of land to CNL, proceeds from a loan sale and disposition of two lodging properties, net of capital expenditures and loan advances.
In 2003, other investing activities outflows of $20 million included $8 million for equity investments and $16 million for investments in long-term contracts and other development. In 2002, other investing activities outflows of $53 million included $30 million for equity investments and $13 million for investments in long-term contracts and other development.
In April 1999, January 2000, and January 2001, we filed universal shelf registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the amounts of $500 million, $300 million and $300 million, respectively. As of June 20, 2003, we had offered and sold to the public under these registration statements, $300 million of debt securities at 77/8%, due 2009 and $300 million at 81/8%, due 2005, leaving a balance of $500 million available for future offerings.
Approximately $70 million in face amount of our zero-coupon convertible senior notes due 2021, known as LYONs are presently outstanding. These LYONs which were issued on May 8, 2001, are convertible into approximately 0.9 million shares of our Class A Common Stock, and carry a yield to maturity of 0.75 percent. We may not redeem the LYONs prior to May 8, 2004. We may at the option of the holders be required to purchase the LYONs at their accreted value on May 8 of each of 2004, 2011 and 2016. We may choose to pay the purchase price for redemptions or repurchases in cash and/or shares of our Class A Common Stock. We classify LYONs as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the obligation with long-term debt if we are required to repurchase the LYONs.

Our guarantees include $257 million for commitments which will not be in effect until the underlying hotels are open and we begin to manage the properties. Our total unfunded loan commitments amounted to $192 million at June 20, 2003. We expect to fund $118 million by January 2, 2004 and $28 million in one to three years. We do not expect to fund the remaining $46 million of commitments, which expire as follows: $44 million within one year; none in one to three years; none in four to five years; and $2 million after five years. Included in guarantees above are $406 million related to Senior Living Services lease obligations and lifecare bonds. Sunrise is the primary obligor of the leases and a portion of the lifecare bonds and CNL is the primary obligor of the remainder of the lifecare bonds. Prior to the sale of the Senior Living Services business these pre-existing guarantees were guarantees by Marriott International, Inc. of obligations of consolidated Senior Living Services subsidiaries. Also included in the table above are $51 million of guarantees associated with the Sunrise sale transaction.
SHARE REPURCHASES
We purchased 6.1 million shares of our Class A Common Stock during the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2003 at an average price of $31.91 per share.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our accounting policies, which are in compliance with principles generally accepted in the United States, require us to apply methodologies, estimates and judgments that have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. In our annual report on Form 10-K we have discussed those policies that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application. Since the date of that Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions applied under them.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
There have been no material changes to our exposures to market risk since January 3, 2003.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
In June 2003, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 and 15d-14. Management necessarily applied its judgement in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding managements control objectives. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to timely alert them to any material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) that must be included in our periodic SEC filings. In addition, there have been no significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
