We updated our full year RevPAR outlook, and we expanded our pipeline to 119,000 rooms, representing approximately 40% of our existing portfolio.

(a) Effective January 1, 2023, the Company has changed the strategic and operational oversight for our properties located in the Indian subcontinent. Revenues associated with these properties are now reported in the ASPAC management and franchising segment. The segment changes have been reflected retrospectively for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

  • Owned and leased hotels segment: Results were led by growth in group and business transient travel, along with sustained demand in leisure transient travel. Comparable margins remained strong, up nearly 300 basis points compared to the same period in 2019. Higher occupancy and food and beverage revenue mix led to higher costs, and impacted owned and leased margins when compared to 2022. When adjusted for the net impact of transactions, owned and leased Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2 million, or 2%, compared to the second quarter of 2022 and increased $11 million, or 15%, compared to the second quarter of 2019.
  • Americas management and franchising segment: Results were led by sustained strength of leisure travel demand and improved business travel demand. Large convention hotels demonstrated strong performance. New hotels added to the system since the start of 2019 contributed $21 million in fee revenue in the quarter.
  • ASPAC management and franchising segment: Results were led by broad recovery across the region. Notably, RevPAR in Greater China exceeded 2019 levels by 6% during the quarter.
  • EAME management and franchising segment: Results were led by Western Europe which benefited from strong international inbound demand and increased airlifts into the region.
  • Apple Leisure Group segment: Results reflect sustained strength in leisure travel and favorable pricing. Foreign currency exchange rates and one-time strategic investments negatively impacted ALG’s Adjusted EBITDA.

Openings and Development

During the second quarter, 24 new hotels (or 5,927 rooms) joined Hyatt's system. Notable openings in the quarter included Andaz Nanjing Hexi, Grand Hyatt La Manga Club Golf & Spa, Hyatt Regency Mexico City Insurgentes, Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets, and The Pell, part of JdV by Hyatt.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a pipeline of executed management or franchise contracts for approximately 585 hotels (approximately 119,000 rooms).

Transactions and Capital Strategy

On June 2, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Smith Global Limited ("Mr & Mrs Smith") and paid cash of £58 million (approximately $72 million, or $50 million net of cash acquired, using exchange rates as of the acquisition date). The acquisition adds more than 1,500 boutique and luxury properties in more than 20 new countries to World of Hyatt.

The Company is making progress on the two previously announced assets marketed for sale. The Company remains committed to successfully executing plans to realize $2.0 billion of gross proceeds from the sale of real estate, net of acquisitions, by the end of 2024 as part of its expanded asset-disposition commitment announced in August 2021. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has realized $721 million of proceeds from the net disposition of real estate as part of this commitment.

  • Total liquidity of approximately $2.4 billion with $906 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, and borrowing availability of $1,496 million under Hyatt's revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit outstanding.

On July 6, 2023, the Company issued $600 million of 5.750% senior notes due 2027 at an issue price of 99.975%.

During the second quarter, the Company repurchased a total of 968,629 Class A common shares for approximately $108 million.
