Organization, operations and basis of presentation

Background

Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. (“Playa” or the "Company") is a leading owner, operator and developer of all-inclusive resorts in prime beachfront locations in popular vacation destinations. We own a portfolio of 13 resorts located in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. We currently manage eight of the 13 resorts we own, as well as one resort owned by a third party. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in our condensed consolidated financial statements (our “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) to “we,” “our,” “us” and similar expressions refer to Playa and its subsidiaries.

Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in our Form 8-K filed on March 14, 2017.

In our opinion, the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2017. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following disclosures are in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
