Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (the "Parent," or together with its subsidiaries, "Hilton," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is one of the largest hospitality companies in the world and is engaged in managing, franchising, owning and leasing hotels and resorts, and licensing its intellectual property ("IP"), including brand names, trademarks and service marks. As of September 30, 2022, we managed, franchised, owned or leased 7,061 hotels and resorts, including timeshare properties, totaling 1,111,147 rooms in 123 countries and territories.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are unaudited. We have condensed or omitted certain disclosures normally included in annual financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP but that are not required for interim reporting purposes. Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance. In particular, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic (the "pandemic") had an adverse impact on certain of our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021; however, our results experienced significant recovery during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 when compared to prior year periods. As such, these interim periods, as well as upcoming periods, may not be comparable to periods prior to the onset of the pandemic or to other periods affected by the pandemic, and are not indicative of future performance. Management has made estimates and judgments in light of these circumstances. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
