DISCLAIMER
2
Certain matters discussed throughout all of this presentation constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the federal securities laws. Generally, our use of words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,”
“anticipate,” “will,” “forecast,” “plan,” “project,” “assume” or similar words of futurity identify statements that
are forward-looking and that we intend to be included within the Safe Harbor protections provided by Section
27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking
statements are based on management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future
events, which in turn are based on information currently available to management. Such statements may
relate to projections for the company’s revenue, earnings and other financial and operational measures,
company debt levels, payment of dividends and future operations. We caution you not to place undue
reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are made as of the date of this presentation. Forward-
looking statements do not guarantee future performance and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors.
Several factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the company to differ materially
from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not
limited to, changes to general, domestic and foreign economic conditions; operating risks common in the
lodging and franchising industries; changes to the desirability of our brands as viewed by hotel operators
and customers; changes to the terms or termination of our contracts with franchisees; our ability to keep
pace with improvements in technology utilized for reservations systems and other operating systems;
fluctuations in the supply and demand for hotel rooms; and our ability to effectively manage our
indebtedness. These and other risk factors are discussed in detail in the Risk Factors section of the
company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 29, 2012.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-
looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

taxes
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted net income, adjusted diluted
earnings per share (EPS), franchising revenues, net operating profit after tax
(NOPAT),

capital
(ROIC)
and
free
cash
flows
are
non-
GAAP financial measurements. These financial measurements are presented as
supplemental disclosures because they are used by management in reviewing
and analyzing the company’s performance. This information should not be
considered as an alternative to any measure of performance as promulgated
under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), such
as operating income, net income, diluted earnings per share, total revenues or net
cash
provided
by
operating
activities.
The
calculation
of
these
non-GAAP
measures may be different from the calculation by other companies and therefore
comparability may be limited. The company has included the following appendix
which reconcile these measures to the comparable GAAP measurement.
