HYATT REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

5.2% Net Rooms Growth in 2020

Pipeline Maintained at Over 100,000 Rooms

CHICAGO (February 17, 2021) - Hyatt Hotels Corporation ("Hyatt" or the "Company") (NYSE: H) today reported fourth quarter 2020 financial results. Net loss attributable to Hyatt was $203 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to net income attributable to Hyatt of $321 million, or $3.08 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted net loss attributable to Hyatt was $179 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to Adjusted net income attributable to Hyatt of $49 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019. Refer to the table on page 14 of the schedules for a summary of special items impacting Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (losses) per diluted share in the three months ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Mark S. Hoplamazian, president and chief executive officer of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, said, "I am extremely proud of, and grateful for, the achievements of our teams around the world throughout 2020. The Hyatt family demonstrated resilience in the face of difficult decisions and undertook meaningful action to place Hyatt in a strong position as the recovery unfolds. Amidst a backdrop of challenging operating fundamentals, our net rooms growth was strong, demonstrating the strength of our brands. We opened 72 hotels and entered 27 new markets. Our teams also executed new signings to maintain a pipeline representing over 40% growth of our existing hotel rooms in the future."

Fourth quarter 2020 financial results as compared to fourth quarter 2019 are as follows:

•Net income (loss) decreased from $321 million to $(203) million.

•Adjusted EBITDA decreased from $191 million to $(98) million, almost half of which relates to costs incurred on behalf of our managed and franchised properties that we do not intend to recover from hotel owners.

•Comparable system-wide RevPAR decreased 68.9%.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1,882 million.

Note: All RevPAR and ADR percentage changes are in constant dollars. This release includes references to non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations included in the schedules and the definitions of the non-GAAP measures presented beginning on page 13.

Fiscal year 2020 financial results as compared to fiscal year 2019 are as follows:

•Net income (loss) decreased from $766 million to $(703) million.

•Adjusted EBITDA decreased from $754 million to $(177) million.

•Comparable system-wide RevPAR decreased 65.4%.

•Net rooms growth of 5.2%.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company's pipeline consisted of approximately 500 hotels, or approximately 101,000 rooms.

Mr. Hoplamazian continued, "We maintained a very strong liquidity position while the fourth quarter showed a modest sequential improvement in RevPAR. We are prepared for whatever 2021 brings, and we are looking ahead to realize improving financial results as vaccine distribution continues and travel restrictions are lifted over time. We continue to be guided by our purpose of caring for people so they can be their best, and this has sustained and strengthened our culture throughout the past year."

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

RevPAR continued to show improvement in the fourth quarter of 2020 with comparable system-wide RevPAR and comparable owned and leased hotels RevPAR improving modestly from the third quarter of 2020. The pace of recovery varied by region, and similar to trends in the third quarter, was led by relative strength in Greater China and United States select service hotels.

Consistent with third quarter trends, occupancy was driven primarily by favorable leisure transient demand, particularly on weekends and holidays in the fourth quarter. Business transient and group demand continued to be muted. Hyatt's full-service hotels in the Americas were negatively impacted by group cancellations.

Nearly all properties in Hyatt's system were open at year-end. As of December 31, 2020, 94% of total system-wide hotels (93% of rooms) were open compared to 92% of total system-wide hotels (88% of rooms) at September 30, 2020.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

Fourth quarter of 2020 financial results as compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 are as follows:

Management, Franchise and Other Fees

Total management and franchise fee revenues decreased 67.4% (67.6% in constant currency) to $47 million, reflecting a sequential improvement from $40 million reported in the third quarter of 2020. Base management fees decreased 66.3% to $22 million, incentive management fees decreased 76.6% to $10 million, and franchise fees decreased 57.4% to $15 million. Other fee revenues decreased 31.6% to $12 million.

Americas Management and Franchising Segment

Americas management and franchising segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 90.3% (90.2% in constant currency) to $9 million, including $9 million of bad debt expense. At September 30, 2020, 85% of Hyatt's Americas full service hotels (81% of rooms) and 98% of Americas select service hotels and rooms were open, and throughout the fourth quarter, operations continued to resume, with 90% of Americas full service hotels and rooms and 99% of Americas select service hotels and rooms open at December 31, 2020.

Americas net rooms increased 3.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.

Southeast Asia, Greater China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and Micronesia (ASPAC) Management and Franchising Segment

ASPAC management and franchising segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 65.5% (66.8% in constant currency) to $9 million, including $1 million of bad debt expense. At September 30, 2020, 92% of Hyatt's ASPAC full service hotels (93% of rooms) and 93% of ASPAC select service hotels (89% of rooms) were open, operations continued to resume throughout the fourth quarter resulting in 98% of Hyatt's ASPAC full service hotels (99% of rooms) and 97% of ASPAC select service hotels (94% of rooms) being open at December 31, 2020.

ASPAC net rooms increased 11.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.

Europe, Africa, Middle East and Southwest Asia (EAME/SW Asia) Management and Franchising Segment

EAME/SW Asia management and franchising segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 121.8% (122.4% in constant currency) to $(3) million, including $4 million of bad debt expense. At December 31, 2020, 84% of EAME/SW Asia full and select service hotels (85% of rooms) were open. This reflects a slight decrease in the number of hotels open compared to September 30, 2020, as a result of new travel restrictions in Europe.

EAME/SW Asia net rooms increased 4.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.

Owned and Leased Hotels Segment

Total owned and leased hotels segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 148.5% (148.6% in constant currency) to $(48) million. Owned and leased hotels segment results were heavily impacted by decreased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and by dispositions in 2019. Refer to the table on page 11 of the schedules for a detailed list of portfolio changes and the year-over-year net impact to total owned and leased hotels segment Adjusted EBITDA.

At December 31, 2020, 82% of Hyatt's owned and leased hotels (81% of rooms) were open. This compares to 87% of owned and leased hotels (78% of rooms) at September 30, 2020.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA decreased 57.1% (56.5% decrease in constant currency) to $(65) million, reflecting an incremental $23 million loss as compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by $45 million of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties to provide necessary system-wide services and programs that we do not intend to recover from hotel owners.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 5.9% inclusive of rabbi trust impact and stock-based compensation. Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 20.7% or $19 million, primarily due to significant decreases in expenses as a result of cost containment initiatives in 2020, primarily payroll and related costs, and integration-related costs incurred in 2019 associated with the acquisition of Two Roads Hospitality LLC ("Two Roads"), partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense. Refer to the table on page 18 of the schedules for a reconciliation of selling, general, and administrative expenses to Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses.

OPENINGS AND FUTURE EXPANSION

Twenty-three new hotels (or 6,877 rooms) joined Hyatt's system in the fourth quarter of 2020, contributing to a 5.2% increase in net rooms compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. In 2020, the Company opened a total of 72 new hotels (or 14,972 rooms) including 11 operating properties (or 2,837 rooms) that converted to a Hyatt brand.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a pipeline of executed management or franchise contracts for approximately 500 hotels (approximately 101,000 rooms). The pipeline was unchanged compared to December 31, 2019.

CAPITAL STRATEGY

The Company intends to successfully execute plans to sell approximately $1.5 billion of real estate by March 2022 as part of its capital strategy announced in March of 2019, and as of December 31, 2020, the Company has realized proceeds of nearly $1.0 billion towards that goal from the disposition of owned assets. In December 2020, the Company sold the shares of the entities which own the 159-room Hyatt Regency Baku in Azerbaijan for approximately $11 million to an unrelated third party and entered into a long-term management agreement for the property upon sale.

BALANCE SHEET / OTHER ITEMS

As of December 31, 2020, the Company reported the following:

•Total debt of $3,244 million.

•Pro rata share of unconsolidated hospitality venture debt of $671 million, substantially all of which is non-recourse to Hyatt and a portion of which Hyatt guarantees pursuant to separate agreements.

•Cash and cash equivalents, including investments in highly-rated money market funds and similar investments, of $1,207 million, short-term investments of $675 million and restricted cash of $11 million.

•Undrawn borrowing availability of $1,499 million under Hyatt's revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit outstanding.

The Company believes it has adequate existing liquidity to fund operations and investments supporting the continued growth of the business for approximately 36 months based on fourth quarter of 2020 demand levels.

SHARE REPURCHASE/DIVIDEND

There were no Class A or Class B shares repurchased during the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company ended the fourth quarter with 39,250,241 Class A and 62,038,918 Class B shares issued and outstanding.

During the 2020 fiscal year, the Company repurchased $69 million shares of Class A common stock, consisting of 827,643 shares, and paid a $0.20 per share common dividend in the first quarter of 2020. Effective March 3, 2020, the Company suspended all share repurchase activity, and the Company has suspended its quarterly dividend.

2021 OUTLOOK

Given the uncertain pace and timing of recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is providing limited guidance for the 2021 fiscal year:

•Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses are expected to be approximately $240 million. Refer to the table on page 19 of the schedules for a reconciliation of selling, general, and administrative expenses to Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses.

•Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $110 million.

•The Company expects to grow units, on a net rooms basis, by approximately 5.0%.

No disposition or acquisition activity beyond what has been completed as of the date of this release has been included in the 2021 Outlook. The Company's 2021 Outlook is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the control of the Company. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. There can be no assurance that Hyatt will achieve these results.

SEGMENT REPORTING UPDATES

Effective January 1, 2020, we changed the strategic and operational oversight for our Miraval properties, which were previously evaluated as a distinct business by our chief operating decision maker (CODM). The management fees from Miraval properties are now reported in the Americas management and franchising segment, and the operating results and financial position of underlying hotel results are now reported in our owned and leased hotels segment; the results of Miraval properties were previously reported in corporate and other. In addition, the license fees we receive from Hyatt Residence Club are now reported within our Americas management and franchising segment due to changes in the strategic oversight for these license agreements. The segment changes have been reflected retrospectively to the three months and year ended December 31, 2019.

In addition, effective January 1, 2020, we classified Miraval wellness resorts as full service hotels. All schedules have been updated to reflect this change to our properties and statistics retrospectively to the three months and year ended December 31, 2019.

Net Gains and Interest Income From Marketable Securities Held to Fund Rabbi Trusts

The table below provides a reconciliation of net gains and interest income from marketable securities held to fund rabbi trusts, all of which are completely offset within other line items on our consolidated statements of income (loss), thus having no net impact to our earnings (losses). The gains or losses on securities held in rabbi trusts are offset within our owned and leased hotels expenses for our hotel employees and to selling, general, and administrative expenses for our corporate employees and personnel supporting our business segments. The table below shows the amounts recorded to the respective offsetting financial statement line item.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure: SG&A Expenses to Adjusted SG&A Expenses

Results of operations as presented on the consolidated statements of income (loss) include expenses recognized with respect to deferred compensation plans funded through rabbi trusts. Certain of these expenses are recognized in SG&A expenses and are completely offset by the corresponding net gains and interest income from marketable securities held to fund rabbi trusts, thus having no net impact to our earnings (losses). SG&A expenses also include expenses related to stock-based compensation. Below is a reconciliation of this measure excluding the impact of our rabbi trust investments and stock-based compensation expense.

DEFINITIONS

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) and EBITDA

We use the terms Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA throughout this earnings release. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA, as the Company defines them, are non-GAAP measures. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus its pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures Adjusted EBITDA based on its ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude the following items:

•interest expense;

•benefit (provision) for income taxes;

•depreciation and amortization;

•amortization of management and franchise agreement assets and performance cure payments, which constitute payments to customers (Contra revenue);

•revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties;

•costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties that we intend to recover over the long term;

•equity losses from unconsolidated hospitality ventures;

•stock-based compensation expense;

•gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other;

•asset impairments; and

•other income (loss), net

We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by adding the Adjusted EBITDA of each of our reportable segments and eliminations to corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA.

Our board of directors and executive management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance and compensation measure both on a segment and on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operations both on a segment and on a consolidated basis. Our president and chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, also evaluates the performance of each of our reportable segments and determines how to allocate resources to those segments, in significant part, by assessing the Adjusted EBITDA of each segment. In addition, the compensation committee of our board of directors determines the annual variable compensation for certain members of our management based in part on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA, or some combination of both.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides investors the same information that the Company uses internally for purposes of assessing operating performance and making compensation decisions and facilitates our comparison of results before these items with results from other companies within our industry.

Page 23

Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries and among companies within the same industry. For instance, interest expense and benefit (provision) for income taxes are dependent upon company specifics, including capital structure, credit ratings, tax policies, and jurisdictions in which they operate, and therefore, can vary significantly across companies. Depreciation and amortization are dependent on company policies including how the assets are utilized as well as the lives assigned to the assets, and contra revenues is dependent on company policies and strategic decisions regarding payments to hotel owners. We exclude revenues for the reimbursement of costs and costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties which relate to the reimbursement of payroll costs and for system-wide services and programs that we operate for the benefit of our hotel owners as contractually we do not provide services or operate the related programs to generate a profit over the terms of the respective contracts. Over the long term, these programs and services are not designed to impact our economics, either positively or negatively. Therefore, we exclude the net impact when evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA includes costs incurred on behalf of our managed and franchised properties related to system-wide services and programs that we do not intend to recover from hotel owners. We exclude stock-based compensation expense to remove the variability amongst companies resulting from different compensation plans companies have adopted. Finally, we exclude other items that are not core to our operations, such as asset impairments and unrealized and realized gains and losses on marketable securities.

Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not substitutes for net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation, net income (loss), or any other measure prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes items that do not reflect our core operations, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named non-GAAP measures that other companies may use to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income (loss) generated by our business. Our management compensates for these limitations by reference to its GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues excluding Contra revenue and revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties (Adjusted revenues). We believe Adjusted EBITDA margin is useful to investors because it provides investors the same information that the Company uses internally for purposes of assessing operating performance.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

Adjusted net income (loss), as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation excluding special items, which are those items deemed not to be reflective of ongoing operations. We consider Adjusted net income (loss) to be an indicator of operating performance because excluding special items allows for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations.

Page 24

Adjusted net income (loss) is not a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation, net income (loss), or any other measure prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted net income (loss). Although we believe that Adjusted net income (loss) can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes special items that are deemed not to be reflective of ongoing operations, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted net income (loss) differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted net income (loss) or similarly named non-GAAP measures that other companies may use to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, Adjusted net income (loss) should not be considered as a measure of the income (loss) generated by our business. Our management compensates for these limitations by reference to its GAAP results and using Adjusted net income (loss) supplementally.

Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

Adjusted SG&A expenses, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted SG&A expenses exclude the impact of deferred compensation plans funded through rabbi trusts and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted SG&A expenses assist us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operations, both on a segment and consolidated basis.

We define comparable owned and leased hotels operating margin as the difference between comparable owned and leased hotels revenues and comparable owned and leased hotels expenses. Comparable owned and leased hotels revenues is calculated by removing non-comparable hotels revenues from owned and leased hotels revenues as reported in our consolidated statements of income (loss). Comparable owned and leased hotels expenses is calculated by removing both non-comparable owned and leased hotels expenses and the impact of expenses funded through rabbi trusts from owned and leased hotels expenses as reported in our consolidated statements of income (loss). We believe comparable owned and leased hotels operating margin is useful to investors because it provides investors the same information that the Company uses internally for purposes of assessing operating performance.

Comparable Hotels

"Comparable system-wide hotels" represents all properties we manage or franchise (including owned and leased properties) and that are operated for the entirety of the periods being compared and that have not sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large scale renovations during the periods being compared or for which comparable results are not available. Hotels that have temporarily suspended operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic are included in our definition of comparable system-wide hotels. We may use variations of comparable system-wide hotels to specifically refer to comparable system-wide Americas full service or select service hotels for those properties that we manage or franchise within the Americas management and franchising segment, comparable system-wide ASPAC full service or select service hotels for those properties we manage or franchise within the ASPAC management and franchising segment, or comparable system-wide EAME/SW Asia full service or select service hotels for those properties that we manage or franchise within the EAME/SW Asia management and franchising segment. "Comparable owned and leased hotels" represents all properties we own or lease and that are operated and consolidated for the entirety of the periods being compared and have not sustained substantial damage, business interruption, or undergone large scale renovations during the periods being compared or for which comparable results are not available. Hotels that have temporarily suspended operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic are included in our definition of comparable owned and leased hotels. Comparable system-wide hotels and comparable owned and leased hotels are commonly used as a basis of measurement in our industry. "Non-comparable system-wide hotels" or "non-comparable owned and leased hotels" represent all hotels that do not meet the respective definition of "comparable" as defined above.

Constant Dollar Currency

We report the results of our operations both on an as-reported basis, as well as on a constant dollar basis. Constant dollar currency, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the effects of movements in foreign currency exchange rates between comparative periods. We believe constant dollar analysis provides valuable information regarding our results as it removes currency fluctuations from our operating results. We calculate constant dollar currency by restating prior-period local currency financial results at the current period's exchange rates. These restated amounts are then compared to our current period reported amounts to provide operationally driven variances in our results.

Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR)

RevPAR is the product of the average daily rate and the average daily occupancy percentage. RevPAR does not include non-room revenues, which consist of ancillary revenues generated by a hotel property, such as food and beverage, parking, and other guest service revenues. Our management uses RevPAR to identify trend information with respect to room revenues from comparable properties and to evaluate hotel performance on a regional and segment basis. RevPAR is a commonly used performance measure in our industry.

RevPAR changes that are driven predominantly by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenue levels and incremental profitability than do changes that are driven predominantly by changes in average room rates. For example, increases in occupancy at a hotel would lead to increases in room revenues and additional variable operating costs (including housekeeping services, utilities, and room amenity costs), and could also result in increased ancillary revenues (including food and beverage). In contrast, changes in average room rates typically have a greater impact on margins and profitability as average room rate changes result in minimal impacts to variable operating costs.

Average Daily Rate (ADR)

ADR represents hotel room revenues, divided by the total number of rooms 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 our industry, and we use ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate by customer group, as changes in rates have a different effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above.

Occupancy

Occupancy represents the total number of rooms sold divided by the total number of rooms available at a hotel or group of hotels. Occupancy measures the utilization of a hotel's available capacity. We use occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help us determine achievable ADR levels as demand for hotel rooms increases or decreases.
