Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1. 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 and/or manage a portfolio of 20 resorts located in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. We currently manage 13 of the 18 resorts we own, as well as two resorts owned by third parties. 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

On June 1, 2018, we completed a business combination with theSagicor Parties(as defined in Note 4), which caused us to evaluate and modify the presentation of our reportable segments. See Note 4 and Note 19 for additional discussion regarding the business combination and our reportable segments, respectively.

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 U.S. 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, 2017, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2018.

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. Results for all comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2018. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following disclosures are in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

Derivative financial instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swap contracts, to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at period end. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivative contracts not designated for hedge accounting are recorded in interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Standards adopted

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as clarified and amended by ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20	This standard provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance.	January 2018	We applied the modified retrospective transition method to all contracts upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We provided the additional required disclosures, but the cumulative adjustment from our comparative periods was zero in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3.
ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities as clarified and amended by ASU 2018-03	This standard significantly revises the accounting related to the classification and measurement of investment in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes of financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2016-01 reduced our disclosure requirements, but did not impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We are no longer required to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)	This standard amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. ASC 230 lacks consistent principles for evaluating the classification of cash payments and receipts in the statement of cash flows. This has led to diversity in practice and, in certain circumstances, financial statement restatements. Therefore, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 with the intent of reducing diversity in practice with respect to eight types of cash flows.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2016-15 provided clarification to existing requirements and did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory	This standard requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Prior to this ASU, an entity was prohibited from recognizing the income tax consequences of an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset had been sold to an outside party.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We have limited intra-entity asset transfers, or intercompany sales, other than inventory that would require income tax recognition.
ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business	This standard provides guidance that will enable more consistency in accounting for transactions when determining if they represent acquisitions or disposals of assets or of a business. Under the ASU, when determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities constitutes a business, entities must go through a “screen”.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2017-01 simplified our decision making process of determining whether a purchase constitutes a business combination or an acquisition of assets. We applied this guidance to our acquisition of the Sagicor Assets (as defined in Note 4), which was accounted for as a business combination.
ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Non-financial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Non-financial Assets	The standard clarifies the scope and accounting of a financial asset that meets the definition of an in substance non-financial asset and the definition of an in substance non-financial asset. The ASU also adds guidance for partial sales of non-financial assets.	January 2018	We utilized the modified retrospective transition method upon the adoption of ASU 2017-05 and the cumulative adjustment from our comparative periods was zero in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as we historically have not sold material non-financial assets in our normal course of business.

Standards not yet adopted

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)	This standard introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. This will increase a lessee’s reported assets and liabilities—in some cases very significantly. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP.	January 2019	We are currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 noting that we have not determined the full impact of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, we expect to record a right of use asset and corresponding lease liability for our operating leases with an original term of greater than one year where we are the lessee. The potential impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is largely based upon the population of long-term leases in effect at the date of adoption, but we expect the most significant leases to consist of our corporate offices. We do not expect material changes to the recognition of operating lease expense in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3. Revenue

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as described in Note 2, using the modified retrospective approach to all contracts resulting in no cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit. The adoption of this standard did not impact the timing of our revenue recognition based on the short-term, day-to-day nature of our operations.

The following tables present our revenues disaggregated by geographic segment (refer to discussion of our reportable segments in Note 19) ($ in thousands):

Performance obligations

We recognize revenues when the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the product or service to our customers as described in the table below:

Revenue	Description	Timing of Revenue Recognition
Package	Sale of all-inclusive packages, which include room accommodations, food and beverage services and entertainment activities. All services offered as part of the all-inclusive experience are considered to be one performance obligation.	Revenue is recognized, net of discounts and rebates, based on the agreed upon price after each stay when our performance obligation of all-inclusive services is considered transferred to the customer.
Non-package	All other revenues earned from the operations of our resorts other than package revenue. This includes, but is not limited to, the sale of upgrades, premium services and amenities, such as premium rooms, dining experiences, wines and spirits and spa packages.	Revenue is recognized based on the agreed upon price after the completion of the sale when the product or service is transferred to the customer.
Management fees	Fees earned for managing hotels owned by third-parties. The fees earned are typically composed of a base fee, which is computed as a percentage of resort revenue, and an incentive fee, which is computed as a percentage of resort profitability.	Revenue is recognized over the term of the service period as the third-party owners benefit from our management services.
Cost reimbursements	Cash reimbursements for costs related to managing hotels owned by third-parties.	Revenue is recognized when agreed upon reimbursable costs are incurred from managing hotels owned by third-parties.

We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an expected length of one year or less. Due to the nature of our business, our revenue is not significantly impacted by refunds. Cash payments received in advance of guests staying at our resorts are refunded to hotel guests if the guest cancels within the specified time period, before any services are rendered. Refunds related to service are generally recognized as an adjustment to the transaction price at the time the hotel stay occurs or services are rendered.

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 other than trade and other receivables, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our receivables are primarily the result of contracts with customers, which are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of amounts that will not be collected.

We record contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of guests staying at our resorts, which are presented within advance deposits (see Note 18) within trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities decreased from $40.9 million as of December 31, 2017 to $36.1 million as of June 30, 2018. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily driven by $33.1 million of package revenue recognized that was included in the advanced deposits balance as of December 31, 2017, partially offset by additional cash payments received from guests prior to their stay and $5.8 millionin advance deposits acquired in the business combination with theSagicor Parties(as defined in Note 4).

9

Contract costs

We consider sales commissions earned to be incremental costs of obtaining a contract with our customers. As a practical expedient, we expense these costs as incurred when the period to be benefited is less than one year.

Note 4. Business combinations

Business combination with the Sagicor Parties

On February 26, 2018, we entered into a Share Exchange Implementation Agreement with JCSD Trustee Services Limited, X Fund Properties Limited, Sagicor Pooled Investment Funds Limited, and Sagicor Real Estate X Fund Limited (collectively, the “Sagicor Parties”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Share Exchange Implementation Agreement dated May 31, 2018 (as amended, the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Sagicor Parties agreed to contribute a portfolio of the following assets (the “SagicorAssets”) to a subsidiary of Playa in exchange for consideration consisting of a combination of our ordinary shares and cash:

• The Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa;

• The Jewel Runaway Bay Beach & Golf Resort;

• The Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort;

• The Jewel Paradise Cove Beach Resort & Spa;

• The 88 units comprising one of the towers in the multi-tower condominium and spa at the Jewel Grande Montego Bay, which will be incorporated into the Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall in Jamaica;

• Developable land sites adjacent to the Jewel Grande Montego Bay and the Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa;

• The management contract for a portion of the units owned by the Sagicor Parties at the Jewel Grande Montego Bay; and

• All of the Sagicor Parties' rights to “The Jewel” hotel brand.

On June 1, 2018 (the “Acquisition Date”), we consummated our acquisition of the SagicorAssets for total consideration, after preliminary working capital adjustments, of $308.5 million. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and allocated the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The business combination with the Sagicor Parties allows us to expand our portfolio of resorts in the all-inclusive segment of the lodging industry, capitalize on opportunities for internal growth and create significant operational synergies.

The following table summarizes the fair value of each class of consideration transferred to the Sagicor Parties on the Acquisition Date ($ in thousands, except share data):

Cash consideration, net of cash acquired of $0.1 million	$	93,128
Ordinary shares (20,000,000 shares at the Acquisition Date closing price of $10.77 per share, €0.10 par value)	215,400
Total purchase consideration	$	308,528

Preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed

The following table presents our preliminary estimates of fair values of the assets that we acquired and the liabilities that we assumed on the Acquisition Date. Our preliminary estimates are based on the information that was available as of the Acquisition Date, and we are continuing to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions used in our valuations. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the Acquisition Date ($ in thousands):

Total purchase consideration	$	308,528
Net assets acquired
Working capital	(1,665		)
Property, plant and equipment	309,452
Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities	2,197
Deferred income taxes	(28,753		)
Goodwill	27,297
Total net assets acquired	$	308,528

10

Property, plant and equipment

We acquired property, plant and equipment, which primarily consists of the all-inclusive resorts and adjacent developable land sites that we acquired. We provisionally estimated the value of the acquired property, plant and equipment using a combination of the income and market approaches, which are primarily based on significant Level 2 and Level 3 assumptions (as described in Note 16), such as estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, and capital expenditure needs of the SagicorAssets.

Identified intangible assets and liabilities

The following table presents our preliminary estimates of the fair values of the identified intangible asset and liabilities and their related estimated useful lives that we acquired on the Acquisition Date ($ in thousands):

	Balance Sheet Classification	Estimated Fair Value			Weighted-Average Amortization Period (in years)
Management agreement	Other intangible assets	$	1,900		20
Favorable ground lease asset	Prepayments and other assets	2,631			22
Unfavorable ground lease liability	Other liabilities	(2,334		)	22
Total identifiable intangibles acquired		$	2,197

We provisionally estimated the value of the management agreement using the multi-period excess earnings valuation method, which is a variation of the income valuation approach. This method estimates an intangible asset’s value based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. This valuation approach utilizes Level 3 inputs (as described in Note 16).

Deferred income taxes

Deferred income taxes primarily relate to the fair value of non-current assets and liabilities acquired from the Sagicor Parties, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and liabilities and other. We provisionally estimated deferred income taxes based on the statutory rate in the jurisdiction of the legal entities where the acquired non-current assets and liabilities are recorded. We will update our estimate of deferred income taxes based on changes to our preliminary valuations of the related assets and liabilities, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.

Goodwill

The excess of the purchase consideration over the aggregate estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and future growth opportunities of our combined operations and is not deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill related to the business combination was recognized at the Jamaica reportable segment (refer to discussion of our reportable segments in Note 19).

Pro forma results of operations

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations have been prepared as though the business combination was completed on January 1, 2017. This unaudited pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations of Playa that actually would have resulted had the acquisition of the SagicorAssets occurred at the date indicated, nor does it project the results of operations of Playa for any future date or period ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017			2018		2017
Pro forma revenue	$	163,270	$	166,101		$	372,183	$	370,765
Pro forma net income (loss)	$	19,911	$	(9,517	)	$	50,319	$	20,052
Pro forma earnings (losses) per share - Basic	$	0.15	$	(0.08	)	$	0.39	$	0.09
Pro forma earnings (losses) per share - Diluted	$	0.15	$	(0.08	)	$	0.39	$	0.09

11

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 includes adjustments for:

• Depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the estimated fair values of acquired property, plant and equipment and identifiable definite-lived intangible assets and liabilities, respectively;

• Elimination of the SagicorAssets' management fees and interest expense;

• Interest expense resulting from the issuance of an $100.0 million term loan add-on (see Note 14);

• Related income tax effects; and

• Weighted average number of shares outstanding.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred approximately $2.0 million in transaction costs related to the acquisition and approximately $1.3 million in transaction costs related to the issuance of the $100.0 million term loan add-on. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are reflected in unaudited pro forma net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 in the table above.

SagicorAssets' results of operations

The following table presents the results of the SagicorAssets' operations, which are recorded within our Jamaica reportable segment, included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the period from the Acquisition Date through June 30, 2018 ($ in thousands):

	June 2, 2018 - June 30, 2018
Revenue	$	8,662
Net income	$	2,692

Recapitalization transaction

At 12:00 a.m. Central European Time on March 12, 2017, we consummated a business combination (the “Pace Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain transaction agreement by and among us, Playa Hotels & Resorts B.V. (our “Predecessor”), Pace Holdings Corp. (“Pace”) and New Pace Holdings Corp. (“New Pace”), the effects of which replicated the economics of a reverse merger between our Predecessor and Pace. In connection with the Pace Business Combination, Pace formed Porto Holdco B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid), as a wholly-owned subsidiary to facilitate the reverse merger with our Predecessor. Prior to the consummation of the Pace Business Combination, Porto Holdco B.V. was converted to a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) and changed its name to Porto Holdco N.V. Upon the consummation of the Pace Business Combination, the Company's name was changed to Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V.

For accounting and financial reporting purposes, the Pace Business Combination was accounted for as a recapitalization of our Predecessor because Pace was incorporated as a special purpose acquisition company and considered a public shell company. Our Predecessor also maintained effective control of the combined entity because our Predecessor's operations comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity, our Predecessor's senior management became the senior management of the combined entity and our Predecessor's directors were appointed to, and constitute the majority of, the combined entity's board of directors. Accordingly, no step-up in basis of assets or goodwill were recorded.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein are those of our Predecessor for all periods prior to the completion of the Pace Business Combination and the recapitalization of the number of ordinary shares attributable to our Predecessor shareholders is reflected retroactively to the earliest period presented. Accordingly, the number of ordinary shares presented as outstanding as of December 31, 2016 totaled 50,481,822 and consisted of the number of ordinary shares issued to Predecessor shareholders. This number of shares was also used to calculate the Company’s earnings per share for all periods prior to the Pace Business Combination.

12

The consideration received as a result of the Pace Business Combination is summarized as follows ($ in thousands):

Purchase of all of our Predecessor's cumulative redeemable preferred shares (1)	$	353,873
Net cash transferred from Pace	78,859
Playa Employee Offering (2)	799
Total consideration transferred	$	433,531

________

⁽¹⁾Balance consisted of the face value of our Predecessor's cumulative redeemable preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”) and their associated PIK dividends as of March 10, 2017, per the terms of the Pace Business Combination.

⁽²⁾In connection with the Pace Business Combination, we entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with Playa employees, their family members and persons with business relationships with Playa, pursuant to which those persons agreed to purchase 82,751 ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $0.8 million.

Note 5. Property, plant and equipment

The balance of property, plant and equipment is as follows ($ in thousands):

	As of June 30,			As of December 31,
	2018			2017
Land, buildings and improvements	$	1,787,043		$	1,493,407
Fixtures and machinery	55,537			53,188
Furniture and other fixed assets	205,086			173,912
Construction in progress	49,242			29,220
Total property, plant and equipment, gross	2,096,908			1,749,727
Accumulated depreciation	(312,241		)	(283,401		)
Total property, plant and equipment, net	$	1,784,667		$	1,466,326

Depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment was $31.0 million and $25.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment was $15.6 million and $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, $2.1 million and $0 of interest expense was capitalized on qualifying assets, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, $1.4 million and $0 of interest expense was capitalized on qualifying assets, respectively. Interest expense was capitalized at the weighted-average interest rate of our debt.

Cap Cana development

On July 12, 2017, we acquired the land for the new Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana and Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for total consideration of $56.2 million. We paid $45.6 million of the consideration in cash upon closing of the acquisition. The remaining $10.6 million balance is due on the earlier of (i) two years from the beginning of construction of the resorts or (ii) the opening of the resorts and is recorded in other liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheetas of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Note 6. Income taxes

We are domiciled in The Netherlands and are taxed in The Netherlands with our other Dutch subsidiaries. Dutch companies are subject to Dutch corporate income tax at a general tax rate of 25%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, our income tax benefit was $3.4 million, compared to a $6.3 million tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decreased income tax provision of $9.7 million was driven primarily by the increased discrete tax benefit associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our income tax provision was $6.2 million, compared to a $19.9 million tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decreased income tax provision of $13.7 million was driven primarily by the increased discrete tax benefit associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

13

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation, commonly referred to as U.S. Tax Reform.  As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company completed its deferred tax accounting related to the reduction to the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%.  We are not aware of any significant changes to this legislation for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Since we are a company incorporated in the Netherlands and do not have any controlled foreign corporations under U.S. tax law, we concluded that the new legislation related to global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) and base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) does not apply and therefore no policy decision is required.

Note 7. Related party transactions

The following summarizes transactions and arrangements that we have entered into with related parties. The details of the balances between us and related parties as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are as follows ($ in thousands):

	2018		2017
Accounts receivable	$	3,090	$	1,495
Accounts and other payables	$	3,750	$	2,966

Relationship with Hyatt

As described below, we pay Hyatt franchise fees for our resorts currently operating under the all-ages Hyatt Ziva and adults-only Hyatt Zilara brands. In addition, in connection with the Pace Business Combination, all outstanding Preferred Shares of our Predecessor owned by HI Holdings Playa were purchased at a purchase price of $8.40 per share for $196.0 million in face value and $93.6 million of associated PIK dividends.

Relationship with Real Shareholder

In connection with the Pace Business Combination, all outstanding Preferred Shares of our Predecessor owned by the selling shareholder of Real Resorts (“Real Shareholder”) were purchased at a purchase price of $8.40 per share for $43.5 million in face value and $20.8 million of associated PIK dividends.

Upon the consummation of the Pace Business Combination, the Real Shareholder was no longer considered a related party because the Preferred Shares were extinguished in connection with the Pace Business Combination.

We terminated this lease agreement effective July 1, 2017. Lease payments related to this space were less than $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Note 8. Commitments and contingencies

Litigation, claims and assessments

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, workers' compensation and other employee claims, intellectual property claims and claims related to our management of certain hotel properties. Most occurrences involving liability and claims of negligence are covered by insurance with solvent insurance carriers. We recognize a liability when we believe the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We currently believe that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Dutch corporate income tax act provides the option of a fiscal unity, which is a consolidated tax regime wherein the profits and losses of group companies can be offset against each other. Our Dutch companies file as a fiscal unity, with the exception of Playa Romana B.V., Playa Romana Mar B.V. and Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. Playa Resorts Holding B.V. is the head of our Dutch fiscal unity and is jointly and severally liable for the tax liabilities of the fiscal unity as a whole.

During the third quarter of 2015, we identified and recorded a potential Dutch operating tax contingency resulting from allocations to be made of certain corporate expenses from 2014 and 2015. We have provided all requested documentation to the Dutch tax authorities for their review and are currently waiting for their final determination. We have an estimated amount of $1.6 million as a tax contingency at June 30, 2018 that is recorded in other liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Electricity supply contract

One of our subsidiaries entered into an electricity supply contract wherein we committed to purchase electricity from a provider over a five-year period ending December 2019. In consideration for our commitment, we received certain rebates. Should this contract be terminated prior to the end of the five-year period, we will be obligated to refund to the supplier the undepreciated portion of (i) the capital investment it made to connect our facilities to the power grid (original amount approximately $1.4 million) and (ii) the unearned rebates we received (total unearned rebates of $0.6 million and $0.8 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively), in each case using a 20% straight-line depreciation per annum.

Leases and other commitments

We lease certain equipment for the operations of our hotels under various lease agreements. The leases extend for varying periods through 2021 and contain fixed components and utility payments. In addition, all of our administrative offices are subject to leases of building facilities from third parties, which extend for varying periods through 2023 and contain fixed and variable components.

Rental expense under non-cancelable operating leases, including contingent leases, consisted of $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Rental expense under non-cancelable operating leases, including contingent leases, consisted of $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Note 9. Ordinary shares

As of December 31, 2016, the number of ordinary shares presented as outstanding totaled 50,481,822, consisting of the number of ordinary shares issued to Predecessor shareholders after the retroactive application of the recapitalization. On March 12, 2017, 52,982,364 ordinary shares were issued as part of a recapitalization completed in the Pace Business Combination (see Note 4). On June 1, 2018, 20,000,000 ordinary shares were issued as part of the business combination with the Sagicor Parties (see Note 4).

On December 28, 2017, a member of our Board of Directors waived his previously granted share-based compensation for his services as a member of our Board, and transferred 7,367 ordinary shares back to us for no consideration. The shares are recorded as treasury shares on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, our ordinary share capital consisted of 130,478,993 ordinary shares outstanding, which have a par value of €0.10 per share. In addition, 2,087,634 restricted shares were outstanding under the 2017 Plan (as defined in Note 11) that entitle holders thereof to vote, but not dispose of, such shares until they vest.

15

Note 10. Warrants

We issued 3,000,000 warrants to our Predecessor's former ordinary shareholders and TPG Pace Sponsor, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company and an affiliate of TPG Global, LLC, as consideration in the Pace Business Combination (the “Earnout Warrants”). The Earnout Warrants entitle such warrant holders to acquire one ordinary share for each Earnout Warrant for an exercise price of €0.10 per ordinary share in the event that the price per share underlying the Earnout Warrants on the NASDAQ is greater than $13.00 for a period of more than 20 days out of 30 consecutive trading days within the five years after the closing date of the Pace Business Combination. The Earnout Warrants expire five years after the completion of the Pace Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation in accordance with their term.

As of June 30, 2018, all 3,000,000 Earnout Warrants remained outstanding.

Note 11. Share-based compensation

The Company adopted the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) to attract and retain independent directors, executive officers and other key employees and service providers. The 2017 Plan was approved by the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company on March 10, 2017. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, who may grant awards covering a maximum of 4,000,000 of our ordinary shares under the 2017 Plan. The Compensation Committee may award share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, share units, unrestricted shares, dividend equivalent rights, performance shares and other performance-based awards, other equity-based awards, and cash bonus awards. As of June 30, 2018, there were 1,317,396 shares available for future grants under the 2017 Plan.

Restricted share awards

Restricted share awards are granted to eligible employees, executives, and board members. Restricted shares are ordinary shares that are subject to restrictions and to a risk of forfeiture.

On May 16, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the issuance of 994,115 restricted share awards to employees and executives of the Company. Each award granted vests over a five year period with 25% of the underlying award vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date of the award, 25% vesting on the fourth anniversary of the grant date of the award and 50% vesting on the fifth anniversary of the grant date of the award.

On May 26, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the issuance of 410,096 restricted share awards to employees and executives of the Company and 51,569 restricted share awards to directors of the Company for their services as directors. Each award granted to employees and executives vests pro rata over a three year period. Each award granted to a director was fully vested on the date of grant.

On January 2, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the issuance of 438,185 restricted share awards to employees and executives of the Company and 48,699 restricted share awards to directors of the Company for their services as directors. Each award granted to employees and executives vests pro rata over a three year period. Each award granted to a director was fully vested on the date of grant.

The vesting of restricted share awards is subject to the holder's continued employment through the applicable vesting date. Unvested awards will be forfeited if the employee's or the executive's employment terminates during the vesting period, provided that unvested awards will accelerate upon certain terminations of employment as set forth in the applicable award agreements. The holders of these awards have the right to vote the restricted shares and receive all dividends declared and paid on such shares, provided that dividends paid on unvested restricted shares will be subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable to the underlying restricted shares.

Compensation expense for the restricted share awards is measured based upon the fair market value of our ordinary shares at the date of grant and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

16

A summary of our restricted share awards from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 is as follows:

	Number of Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2018	1,265,830		$	10.19
Granted	486,884		10.78
Vested	(181,296	)	10.34
Forfeited	(22,735	)	10.20
Unvested balance at June 30, 2018	1,548,683		$	10.36

The total fair value of vested restricted share awards during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1.9 million and$0.5 million, respectively. The total fair value of vested restricted share awards during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1.4 million and$0.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted share awards was $13.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years and 4.3 years, respectively.

Compensation expense related to the restricted share awards was $2.8 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1.2 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Performance share awards

Performance share awards consist of a grant of ordinary shares that may become earned and vested based on the achievement of performance targets adopted by our Compensation Committee. 

On May 26, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a target award of 265,222 performance shares to executives of the Company. The actual number of ordinary shares that ultimately vest will range from0%to150%of the target award and will be determined in 2020 based ontwoperformance criteria as defined in the award agreements for the period of performance from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019.

On January 2, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a target award of 273,729 performance shares to executives of the Company. The actual number of ordinary shares that ultimately vest will range from 0% to 150% of the target award and will be determined in 2021 based on two performance criteria as defined in the award agreements for the period of performance from January 2, 2018 through December 31, 2020.

Any ordinary shares that ultimately vest based on the achievement of the applicable performance criteria will be deemed to be vested on the date on which our Compensation Committee certifies the level of achievement of such performance criteria. Except in connection with certain qualifying terminations of employment, as set forth in the applicable award agreements, the awards require continued service through the certification date. The holders of these awards have the right to vote the ordinary shares granted to the holder and any dividends declared on such shares will be accumulated and will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the awards.

The grant date fair value of the portion of the award based on the compounded annual growth rate of the Company's total shareholder return was estimated using a Monte-Carlo model. The table below summarizes the key inputs used in the Monte-Carlo simulation ($ in thousands):

Performance Award Grant Date	Percentage of Total Award		Grant Date Fair Value by Component		Volatility (1)		Interest Rate (2)		Dividend Yield
May 26, 2017
Total Shareholder Return	50	%	$	770	27.02	%	1.39	%	—	%
Adjusted EBITDA Comparison	50	%	$	1,350	—	%	—	%	—	%
January 2, 2018
Total Shareholder Return	50	%	$	860	26.13	%	2.00	%	—	%
Adjusted EBITDA Comparison	50	%	$	1,475	—	%	—	%	—	%

________

⁽¹⁾ Expected volatility was determined based on the historical share prices in our industry.

⁽²⁾ The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the remaining term of the measurement period.

In the table above, the total shareholder return component is a market condition as defined by ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, and compensation expense related to this component is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The grant date fair value of the portion of the awards based on the compounded annual growth rate of the Company's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was based on the closing stock price of our ordinary shares on such date. The Adjusted EBITDA component is a performance condition as defined by ASC 718, and, therefore, compensation expense related to this component will be reassessed at each reporting date based on the Company's estimate of the probable level of achievement, and the accrual of compensation expense will be adjusted as appropriate.

As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the performance share awards was $3.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years and 2.9 years, respectively. Compensation expense related to the performance share awards was approximately $1.1 million and less than $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1.0 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Note 12. Preferred Shares

Prior to the consummation of the Pace Business Combination, all of our Predecessor's Preferred Shares were purchased at a purchase price of $8.40 per share for an aggregate amount of $353.9 million, which consisted of $239.5 million in face value and $114.4 million of associated PIK dividends. The Preferred Shares issued by our Predecessor were eliminated and extinguished as part of the reverse merger in the Pace Business Combination. The extinguishment is reflected as a non-cash financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Note 13. Earnings per share

Prior to the consummation of the Pace Business Combination, our Preferred Shares and their related accumulated Non-cash PIK Dividends were participating securities. If a dividend was declared or paid on our Predecessor's ordinary shares, holders of our Predecessor's ordinary shares and Preferred Shares were entitled to proportionate shares of such dividend, with the holders of our Predecessor's Preferred Shares participating on an as-if converted basis.

Under the two-class method, basic earnings (losses) per share (“EPS”) attributable to ordinary shareholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders is determined by allocating undistributed earnings between ordinary and preferred shareholders. For periods in which there are undistributed losses, there is no allocation of undistributed earnings to preferred shareholders.

Diluted EPS attributable to ordinary shareholders is computed by using the more dilutive result of the two-class method, the if-converted method or the treasury stock method. The if-converted method uses the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, including potentially dilutive ordinary shares assuming the conversion of the outstanding Preferred Shares of our Predecessor, as of the first day of the reporting period. The dilutive effect of awards under our equity compensation plan is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

18

Under the two-class method, the number of shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share is the same as that used for the computation of basic earnings per share for participating securities, as the result would be anti-dilutive. The net income attributable to ordinary shareholders is not allocated to the Preferred Shares until all other reserves have been exhausted or such loss cannot be covered in any other way.

The calculations of basic and diluted EPS are as follows ($ in thousands):

________

⁽¹⁾ For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Preferred Share dividends of our Predecessor of $7.9 million and the preferred shareholders’ allocation of undistributed earnings of our Predecessor of $1.4 million were not added back for purposes of calculating diluted EPS because the effect of treating our Predecessor's Preferred Shares as if they had been converted to their 15,927,778 ordinary share equivalents as of January 1, 2017 was anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 538,951 and 265,222 of unvested performance-based equity awards, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as the performance criteria were not met as of the end of the reporting period. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, 1,400,386 of unvested restricted share awards are not included in the computation of diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 538,951 and 265,222 shares of unvested performance-based equity awards, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS after assumed conversions as the performance criteria were not met as of the end of the reporting period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, outstanding Earnout Warrants to acquire a total of 3,000,000 ordinary shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS after assumed conversions because the warrants were not exercisable as of June 30, 2018 or June 30, 2017, respectively.

________

⁽¹⁾  Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at floating rates equal to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.75% (where the applicable LIBOR rate has a 1.0% floor). The interest rate was 4.84% and 4.62% as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Effective March 29, 2018, we entered into two interest rate swaps to fix interest at 2.85% on $800.0 million of our Term Loan (See Note 15).

June 2018 amendment

On June 7, 2018, we entered into the Second Amendment to Amended & Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2017 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The Amendment amended the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things (i) effect an incremental term loan facility of $100.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan” and, together with the existing terms loans that were in effect prior to the Amendment, the “Term Loan”) that was incurred pursuant to the exercise of our option to request incremental loans under the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) decrease the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan by 0.50% to, at our option, either a base rate plus a margin of 1.75% or LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75%. The other terms to the Existing Credit Agreement, including those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018, were not effected by the Amendment. 

Financial maintenance covenants

Our Existing Credit Agreement requires us to meet a springing leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant, but only if the aggregate amount outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility exceeds 35% of the aggregate revolving credit commitments as defined in our Existing Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2018.

Note 15. Derivative financial instruments

Interest Rate Swaps

Effective March 29, 2018, we entered into two interest rate swaps to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in our variable rate debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan. The interest rate swaps have fixed notional values of $200.0 million and $600.0 million. The fixed rate paid by us is 2.85% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate. The interest rate swaps are not for trading purposes and we have not designated the interest rate swaps for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognized in earnings immediately as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The interest rate swaps mature on March 31, 2023.

The following table presents the location and effects of the derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017($ in thousands):

Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments	Balance Sheet Classification	2018		2017
Interest rate swaps	Derivative financial instruments	$	3,720	$	—

Derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the interest rate swaps. The Company incorporates these counterparty credit risks in its fair value measurements (see Note 16). The Company believes it minimizes this credit risk by transacting with major creditworthy financial institutions.

Note 16. Fair value of financial instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts receivable from related parties, trade and other payables, accounts payable to related parties, derivatives and debt. We believe the carrying value of these assets and liabilities, excluding the Term Loan, approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Fair value measurements

The objective of a fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework, which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

• Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and reflect our judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

We did not have any movements in and out of Level 3 for our fair valued instruments during any of the above periods.

The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for our financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018($ in thousands):

	June 30, 2018		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Fair value measurements on a recurring basis:
Interest rate swap	$	3,720	$	—	$	3,720	$	—

As of December 31, 2017, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as our deferred consideration was settled during the third quarter of 2017.

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of our financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and our financial liabilities not measured at fair value:

	Valuation Technique
Financial liabilities recorded at fair value:
Interest rate swaps	The fair value of the interest rate swaps is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the swaps, the contractual period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk.
Financial liabilities not recorded at fair value:
Term Loan	The fair value of our Term Loan is estimated using cash flow projections over the remaining contractual period by applying market forward rates and discounting back at the appropriate discount rate.
Revolving Credit Facility	The valuation technique of our Revolving Credit Facility is consistent with our Term Loan. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility generally approximates its carrying value as the expected term is significantly shorter in duration.

Note 17. Employee benefit plan

In accordance with labor law regulations in Mexico, certain employees are legally entitled to receive severance that is commensurate with the tenure they had with us at the time of termination without cause, which results in an unfunded benefit obligation. There were no plan assets as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017 as contributions are made only to the extent benefits are paid.

Note 19. Segment information

As a result of our business combination with the Sagicor Parties, we evaluated and modified the presentation of our reportable segments to reflect the management of our resorts after the incorporation of the Sagicor Assets. We divided our Caribbean Basin segment into separate Dominican Republic and Jamaica segments, which caused us to change from three to four reportable segments. The results for all comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

We consider each one of our resorts to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. We also allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual resorts. Our operating segments meet the aggregation criteria and thus, we report four separate segments by geography: (i) Yucatán Peninsula, (ii) Pacific Coast, (iii) Dominican Republic and (iv) Jamaica. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we have excluded the immaterial amounts of management fees, cost reimbursements and other from our segment reporting.

Our operating segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, all of whom represent our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Financial information for each reportable segment is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. We did not provide a reconciliation of reportable segments' assets to our consolidated assets as this information is not reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources.

26

The performance of our operating segments is evaluated primarily on adjusted earnings before interest expense, income tax benefit (provision), and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the period presented, before interest expense, income tax benefit (provision), and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted to exclude the following items: (a) other income (expense), net; (b) share-based compensation; (c) loss on extinguishment of debt; (d) transaction expenses; (e) severance expense; (f) other tax expense; (g) Jamaica delayed opening accrual reversal and (h) non-service cost components of net periodic pension cost (benefit).

There are limitations to using financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA. For example, 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 financial measures that other companies publish 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 or loss generated by our business or discretionary cash available for investment in our business and investors should carefully consider our U.S. GAAP results presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables present segment net revenue, a reconciliation to gross revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net income (loss) ($ in thousands):

Explanatory Note

At 12:00 a.m. Central European Time on March 12, 2017 (the “Closing Time”), we consummated a business combination (the “Pace Business Combination”) pursuant to a transaction agreement by and among us, Playa Hotels & Resorts B.V. (our “Predecessor”) and Pace Holdings Corp. (“Pace”), an entity that was formed as a special purpose acquisition company, for the purpose of effecting a merger or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses, and New Pace Holdings Corp. In connection with the Pace Business Combination, which is described in detail in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2017, we changed our name from Porto Holdco N.V. to Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. In addition, in connection with the Pace Business Combination, (i) prior to the consummation of the Pace Business Combination, all of our Predecessor's cumulative redeemable preferred shares were purchased and were subsequently extinguished upon the reverse merger of our Predecessor with and into us, and (ii) Pace's former shareholders and our Predecessor's former shareholders received a combination of our ordinary shares and warrants as consideration in the Pace Business Combination. Our Predecessor was the

29

accounting acquirer in the Pace Business Combination, and the business, properties, and management team of our Predecessor prior to the Pace Business Combination are the business, properties, and management team of the Company following the Pace Business Combination.

Our financial statements, other financial information and operating statistics presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the results of our Predecessor for all periods prior to the Closing Time. Our financial statements and other financial information also include the consolidation of Pace from the Closing Time of the Pace Business Combination to June 30, 2018.

On June 1, 2018, we completed a business combination with certain companies affiliated with Sagicor Group Jamaica Limited (collectively “Sagicor”) whereby Sagicor contributed to us a portfolio of all-inclusive resorts, two adjacent oceanfront developable land sites located on the desirable North Coast of Jamaica, a management contract for the management of one of the resorts and all of Sagicor's rights to "The Jewel" hotel brand. The portfolio included four existing resorts including the 495-room Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa, the 268-room Jewel Runaway Bay Beach & Golf Resort, the 250-room Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort and the 225-room Jewel Paradise Cove Beach Resort & Spa. It also included an 88-room hotel tower and spa, two developable land sites with a potential density of up to 700 rooms and a hotel management contract for the Jewel Grande Montego Bay. The existing assets were previously managed by an external third-party operator but we assumed management of the assets upon the closing of the transaction. Consideration for such assets was comprised of 20,000,000 of our ordinary shares of Playa’s common stock and $93.1 million in net cash, pursuant to certain post-closing adjustments. In addition, two individuals nominated by Sagicor and recently elected by Playa’s shareholders at Playa’s annual general meeting, joined Playa’s Board of Directors upon the consummation of the transaction.

Our financial statements and other financial information also include the consolidation of the Sagicor assets from June 2, 2018 to June 30, 2018.

Total Revenue and Total Net Revenue

Our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018increased$5.0 million, or 3.5%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Our Total Net Revenue (which represents total revenue less compulsory tips paid to employees and cost reimbursements) for the three months ended June 30, 2018increased$4.3 million, or 3.2%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was driven by an increase in Net Package Revenue of $5.2 million, or 4.5%, offset by a decrease in Net Non-package Revenue of $0.9 million, or 4.2%. This increase in Total Net Revenue was due to a $7.9 million increase attributable to the purchase of the Sagicor properties offset by a decrease of $3.6 million at our comparable portfolio.

Our comparable resorts for the three months ended June 30, 2018 exclude the following: Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa, Jewel Runaway Bay Beach & Golf Resort, Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort, and Jewel Paradise Cove Beach Resort & Spa, which we purchased on June 1, 2018.

Net direct expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018decreased$1.5 million, or 2.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Direct operating expenses fluctuate based on various factors, including changes in occupancy, labor costs, utilities, repair and maintenance costs and license and property taxes. Management fees and franchise fees, which are computed as a percentage of revenue, increase as a result of higher revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018increased$7.7 million, or 30.9%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Included in these results are increases in transaction expense, share based compensation expense related to the performance condition of our performance awards and increased insurance expenses due to increased insurance premiums over prior year.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Our depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018increased$2.0 million, or 14.5%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase is due to asset additions as part of the property renovations at Panama Jack Cancun, Panama Jack Playa del Carmen, Hyatt Ziva & Zilara Rose Hall and Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta in the prior year that have a full quarter of depreciation in the current year.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018decreased$8.4 million, or 60.0%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was primarily attributable to the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps of $5.4 million, the non-cash impact of capitalized interest of $1.4 million, a decrease of $0.9 million due to the net change of the paydown in April and December 2017 of the senior unsecured notes issued by our Predecessor on August 9, 2013, February 14, 2014, May 11, 2015 and October 4, 2016 (the “Senior Notes due 2020”) offset by the Add-on to our Term Loan and a decrease in the non-cash impact of amortization on the discount and deferred financing costs and other debt costs of $0.8 million.

Income Tax Provision

The income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $3.4 million, a decrease of $9.7 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017, during which quarter we reported an income tax provision of $6.3 million. The increased income tax benefit was driven primarily by the increased discrete tax benefit associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Adjusted EBITDA

Our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2018increased$0.3 million, or 0.7%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Total Revenue and Total Net Revenue

Our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018increased$7.8 million, or 2.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. Our Total Net Revenue (which represents total revenue less compulsory tips paid to employees) for the six months ended June 30, 2018increased$7.0 million, or 2.3%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was driven by an increase in Net Package Revenue of $6.5 million, or 2.4%, and an increase in Net Non-package Revenue of $0.2 million, or 0.4%. This increase in Total Net Revenue was due to a $7.9 million increase attributable to the purchase of the Sagicor properties offset by a decrease of $1.0 million at our comparable portfolio.

Our comparable resorts for the six months ended June 30, 2018 exclude the following: Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa, Jewel Runaway Bay Beach & Golf Resort, Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort, and Jewel Paradise Cove Beach Resort & Spa, which we purchased on June 1, 2018.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018increased$5.5 million, or 10.3%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in share-based compensation expense of $2.9 million.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Our depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018increased$5.3 million, or 20.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase is due to asset additions as part of the property renovations at Panama Jack Cancun, Panama Jack Playa del Carmen, Hyatt Ziva & Zilara Rose Hall and Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta in the prior year that have a full six months of depreciation in the current year.

Gain on Insurance Proceeds

We recorded a gain of $1.5 million from net business interruption proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2018 which related to the impact of Hurricane Maria at the Dreams Punta Cana resort during the third quarter of 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we had no such gain.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018decreased$0.6 million, or 2.0%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease of $2.9 million due to the net change of pay down in April and December 2017 of the senior unsecured notes issued by our Predecessor on August 9, 2013, February 14, 2014, May 11, 2015 and October 4, 2016 (the “Senior Notes due 2020”) offset by the Add-on to our Term Loan, the non-cash impact of capitalized interest of $2.1 million and a decrease in the non-cash impact of amortization on the discount and deferred financing costs and other debt costs of $1.2 million. This was partially offset by the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps of $5.6 million.

Income Tax Provision

38

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $6.2 million, a decrease of $13.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, during which period we reported an income tax provision of $19.9 million. The decreased income tax expense of $13.7 million was driven primarily by the increased discrete tax benefit associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Adjusted EBITDA

Our Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $0.4 million, or 0.3%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. For discussions of Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, see “Key Indicators of Financial and Operating Performance” and “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures,” below.

Key Indicators of Financial and Operating Performance

We use a variety of financial and other information to monitor the financial and operating performance of our business. Some of this is financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, while other information, though financial in nature, is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, see “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures.” Our management also uses other information that is not financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data that are commonly used within the lodging industry to evaluate the financial and operating performance of our portfolio. Our management uses this information to measure the performance of our segments and consolidated portfolio. We use this information for planning and monitoring our business, as well as in determining management and employee compensation. These key indicators include:

• Net Package Revenue

• Net Non-package Revenue

• Net Revenue

• Management Fee Revenue

• Cost Reimbursements

• Total Net Revenue

• Occupancy

• Net Package ADR

• Net Package RevPAR

• Adjusted EBITDA

• Adjusted EBITDA Margin

• Comparable Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue, Net Revenue, Management Fee Revenue, Cost Reimbursements and Total Net Revenue

“Net Package Revenue” is derived from the sale of all-inclusive packages, which include room accommodations, food and beverage services and entertainment activities, net of compulsory tips paid to employees in Mexico and Jamaica. Government mandated compulsory tips in the Dominican Republic are not included in this adjustment, as they are already excluded from revenue. Revenue is recognized, net of discounts and rebates, when the rooms are occupied and/or the relevant services have been rendered. Advance deposits received from guests are deferred and included in trade and other payables until the rooms are occupied and/or the relevant services have been rendered, at which point the revenue is recognized.

“Net Non-package Revenue” represents all other revenues earned from the operations of our resorts, other then Net Package Revenue, net of compulsory tips paid to employees in Mexico and Jamaica. Government mandated compulsory tips in the Dominican Republic are not included in this adjustment, as they are already excluded from revenue. Net Non-package Revenue includes revenue associated with guests' purchases of upgrades, premium services and amenities, such as premium rooms, dining experiences, wines and spirits and spa packages, which are not included in the all-inclusive package. Revenue not included in a guest’s all-inclusive package is recognized when the goods are consumed.

“Net Revenue” represents Net Package Revenue and Net Non-Package Revenue. Net Revenue represents a key indicator to assess the overall performance of our business and analyze trends, such as consumer demand, brand preference and competition. In analyzing our Net Revenues, our management differentiates between Net Package Revenue and Net Non-package Revenue. Guests at our resorts purchase packages at stated rates, which include room accommodations, food and beverage services and entertainment

39

activities, in contrast to other lodging business models, which typically only include the room accommodations in the stated rate. The amenities at all-inclusive resorts typically include a variety of buffet and á la carte restaurants, bars, activities, and shows and entertainment throughout the day.

“Management Fee Revenue” is derived from fees earned for managing hotels owned by third-parties. The fees earned are typically composed of a base fee, which is computed as a percentage of resort revenue, and an incentive fee, which is computed as a percentage of resort profitability. Management Fee Revenue was immaterial to our operations for thesix months ended June 30, 2018, but we expect Management Fee Revenue to be a more relevant indicator to assess the overall performance of our business in the future as we enter into more management contracts.

“Total Net Revenue” represents Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue and Management Fee Revenue for thesix months ended June 30, 2018and Net Package Revenue and Net Non-package Revenue for thesix months ended June 30, 2017. “Cost Reimbursements” is excluded from Total Net Revenue as it is not considered a key indicator of financial and operating performance. Cost reimbursements is derived from the reimbursement of certain costs incurred by Playa on behalf of resorts managed by Playa and owned by third parties. This revenue is fully offset by reimbursable costsand has no net impact onOperating (loss) income or Net income (loss).

Occupancy

“Occupancy” represents the total number of rooms sold for a period divided by the total number of rooms available during such period. Occupancy is a useful measure of the utilization of a resort’s total available capacity and can be used to gauge demand at a specific resort or group of properties for a period. Occupancy levels also enable us to optimize Net Package ADR by increasing or decreasing the stated rate for our all-inclusive packages as demand for a resort increases or decreases.

Net Package ADR

“Net Package ADR” represents total Net Package Revenue for a period divided by the total number of rooms sold during such period. Net Package ADR trends and patterns provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the guest base of our portfolio or comparable portfolio, as applicable. Net Package ADR is a commonly used performance measure in the all-inclusive segment of the lodging industry, and is commonly used to assess the stated rates that guests are willing to pay through various distribution channels.

Net Package RevPAR

“Net Package RevPAR” is the product of Net Package ADR and the average daily occupancy percentage. Net Package RevPAR does not reflect the impact of non-package revenue. Although Net Package RevPAR does not include this additional revenue, it generally is considered the key performance measure in the all-inclusive segment of the lodging industry to identify trend information with respect to net room revenue produced by our portfolio or comparable portfolio, as applicable, and to evaluate operating performance on a consolidated basis or a regional basis, as applicable.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the period presented, before interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude the following items:

• Other expense, net

• Impairment loss

• Pre-opening expense

• Transaction expenses

• Severance expense

• Other tax expense

• Gain on property damage insurance proceeds

• Share-based compensation

• Loss on extinguishment of debt

• Non-service cost components of net periodic pension cost (benefit)

40

• Other items which may include, but are not limited to the following: management contract termination fees; gains or losses from legal settlements; repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms; and Jamaica delayed opening accrual reversals.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors for two principal reasons. First, we believe Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. For example, changes in foreign exchange rates (which are the principal driver of changes in other expense, net), and expenses related to capital raising, strategic initiatives and other corporate initiatives, such as expansion into new markets (which are the principal drivers of changes in transaction expenses), are not indicative of the operating performance of our resorts. The other adjustments included in our definition of Adjusted EBITDA relate to items that occur infrequently and therefore would obstruct the comparability of our operating results over reporting periods. For example, revenue from insurance policies, other than business interruption insurance policies, is infrequent in nature, and we believe excluding these expense and revenue items permits investors to better evaluate the core operating performance of our resorts over time.

The second principal reason that we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors is that it is considered a key performance indicator by our board of directors (our “Board”) and management. In addition, the compensation committee of our Board determines the annual variable compensation for certain members of our management based, in part, on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides investors with information utilized by our Board and management to assess our performance and may (subject to the limitations described below) enable investors to compare the performance of our portfolio to our competitors.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA are not a substitute for net income (loss) or any other measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are limitations to the utility of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA. For example, 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-U.S. GAAP financial measures that other companies publish to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Owned Resort EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income or loss generated by our business or discretionary cash available for investment in our business, and investors should carefully consider our U.S. GAAP results presented.

For a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income as computed under U.S. GAAP, see “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures.”

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Net Revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA Margin provides our investors a useful measurement of operating profitability for the same reasons we find Adjusted EBITDA useful.

Comparable Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Total Net Revenue, Net Package Revenue and Net Non-package Revenue on a comparable basis is useful to investors because these measures include only the results of resorts owned and in operation for the entirety of the periods presented and thereby eliminate disparities in results due to the acquisition or disposition of resorts or the impact of resort closures or re-openings in connection with redevelopment or renovation projects. As a result, we believe these measures provide more consistent metrics for comparing the performance of our operating resorts. We calculate Comparable Adjusted EBITDA, comparable Total Net Revenue, comparable Net Package Revenue and comparable Net Non-package Revenue as the total amount of each respective measure less amounts attributable to non-comparable resorts, by which we mean resorts that were not owned or in operation during some or all of the relevant reporting period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our non-comparable resorts were:Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa, Jewel Runaway Bay Beach & Golf Resort, Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort, and Jewel Paradise Cove Beach Resort & Spa, which were acquired on June 1, 2018.

For a reconciliation of net income to Comparable Adjusted EBITDA as computed under U.S. GAAP, see “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures.” For a reconciliation of comparable net package revenue, comparable net non-package revenue, comparable management fee revenue and comparable total net revenue to total revenue as computed under U.S. GAAP, see “Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue, Net Revenue, Management Fee Revenue, Cost Reimbursements and Total Net Revenue” in this section.

Segment Net Revenue. Our Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018decreased$5.3 million, or 7.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net Revenue at all properties in this segment except Hyatt Ziva Cancun decreased $6.7 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Results were impacted by the Easter holiday falling on April 16th in 2017 as compared to April 1st in 2018. During these additional two weeks of 2017, we were able to maintain increased rates across the market for high season. The strong performance of Hyatt Ziva Cancun, which accounted for a $1.4 million increase, offset these decreases.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2018decreased$3.5 million, or 11.8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA at all properties in this segment except Hyatt Ziva Cancun and Hyatt Zilara Cancun decreased $3.7 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. This was offset by strong performance of Hyatt Ziva Cancun and Hyatt Zilara Cancun, which accounted for a $0.2 million increase. In addition to the timing of the Easter holiday in 2017, as noted above, all properties within this segment have been affected by increased insurance premiums year over year which have contributed to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

The following tables set forth information with respect to our Occupancy, Net Package ADR, Net Package RevPAR, Net Package Revenue, Net Non-Package Revenue, Net Revenue, Adjusted Resort EBITDA and Adjusted Resort EBITDA Margin for our Pacific Coast segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 for the total segment portfolio.

Segment Net Revenue. Our Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018decreased$3.3 million, or 14.1%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Results were impacted by the Easter holiday falling on April 16th in 2017 as compared to April 1st in 2018. During these additional two weeks of 2017, we were able to maintain increased rates across the market for high season. Additionally, Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos has had less group business due to cancellations versus the prior year,

43

whereas results from Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta have remained strong. As groups generally pay increased rates, a decrease in group business contributed to the decrease in Net Revenue compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA.Our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2018decreased$2.7 million, or 28.9%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was due to decreased Adjusted EBITDA by both hotels in this region. In addition to the timing of the Easter holiday in 2017, as noted above, all properties within this segment have been affected by increased insurance premiums year over year which have contributed to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Segment Net Revenue. Our Net Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018increased$0.6 million, or 1.8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was due to the performance of Dreams La Romana and Dreams Palm Beach, which accounted for a $1.3 million increase in Net Revenue compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Adjusted Resort EBITDA Margin	37.5		%	27.2		%	10.3		pts	37.9	%

Segment Total Net Revenue. Our Total Net Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018increased$14.5 million, or 40.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was due to the strong performance by Hyatt Ziva and Zilara Rose Hall, which accounted for an increase in Total Net Revenue of $6.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. The additional increase can be attributed to the Sagicor business combination which accounted for the remaining $7.9 million increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2018increased$9.0 million, or 91.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was due to the strong performance by Hyatt Ziva and Zilara Rose Hall, which accounted for an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $6.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 and to the addition of Sagicor properties, which accounted for the remaining $2.8 million increase. The Hyatt Ziva and Zilara Jamaica continues to show positive results after completion of renovations in 2017. All properties within this segment have been affected by increased insurance premiums year over year which were an offset to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.

^(f)  Adjusted EBITDA for Sagicor Hotels.

Seasonality

The seasonality of the lodging industry and the location of our resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean generally result in the greatest demand for our resorts between mid-December and April of each year, yielding higher occupancy levels and package rates during this period. This seasonality in demand has resulted in predictable fluctuations in revenue, results of operations, and liquidity, which are consistently higher during the first quarter of each year than in successive quarters.

Inflation

Operators of lodging properties, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates to reflect the effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit our ability to raise room rates to fully offset inflationary cost increases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary short-term cash needs are paying operating expenses, maintaining our resorts, servicing of our outstanding indebtedness, and funding any ongoing development, expansion, renovation, repositioning and rebranding projects. As of June 30, 2018, we had $33.8 million of scheduled contractual obligations remaining in 2018.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, existing cash balances and, if necessary, short-term borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility which permits borrowings of up to $100.0 million and which matures on April 27, 2022. We had cash and cash equivalents of $145.9 million as of June 30, 2018, compared to $195.3 million as of June 30, 2017 (excluding $0 and $10.3 million of restricted cash, respectively). We plan to fund our Hyatt Ziva and Zilara Cap Cana development project over the next 15 to 18 months with the cash we have on hand, as well as our cash generated from operations. As of June 30, 2018, there was $0 outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility. When assessing liquidity, we also consider the availability of cash resources held within local business units to meet our strategic needs.

Long-term liquidity needs may include existing and future property developments, expansions, renovations, repositioning and rebranding projects, potential acquisitions and the repayment of indebtedness. As of June 30, 2018, our total debt obligations were $1,001.6 million (which represents the principal amounts outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, excluding a $2.9 million issuance discount on our Term Loan and $4.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs). We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements generally through the sources available for short-term needs, as well as equity or debt issuances or proceeds from the potential disposal of assets.

In an effort to maintain sufficient liquidity, our cash flow projections and available funds are discussed with our Board and we consider various ways of developing our capital structure and seeking additional sources of liquidity if needed. The availability of additional liquidity options will depend on the economic and financial environment, our credit, our historical and projected financial and operating performance and continued compliance with financial covenants. As a result of possible future economic, financial and operating declines, possible declines in our creditworthiness and potential non-compliance with financial covenants, we may have less liquidity than anticipated, fewer sources of liquidity than anticipated, less attractive financing terms and less flexibility in determining when and how to use the liquidity that is available.

Financing Strategy

In addition to our Revolving Credit Facility, we intend to use other financing sources that may be available to us from time to time, including financing from banks, institutional investors or other lenders, such as bridge loans, letters of credit, joint ventures and other arrangements. Future financings may be unsecured or may be secured by mortgages or other interests in our assets. In addition, we may issue publicly or privately placed debt or equity securities. When possible and desirable, we will seek to replace short-term financing with long-term financing. We may use the proceeds from any financings to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance resort projects or acquisitions or for general working capital or other purposes.

Our indebtedness may be recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized and may be fixed rate or variable rate. If the indebtedness is non-recourse, the obligation to repay such indebtedness will generally be limited to the particular resort or resorts pledged to secure such indebtedness. In addition, we may invest in resorts subject to existing loans secured by mortgages or similar liens on the resorts, or may refinance resorts acquired on a leveraged basis.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our net cash provided by or used in operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the periods indicated and should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and accompanying notes thereto included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018			2017
	($ in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	68,440		$	60,719
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(134,504	)	$	(12,834	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	94,699		$	114,574

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities is generated primarily from operating income from our resorts. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, our net cash provided by operating activities totaled $68.4 million and $60.7 million, respectively. Net income of $38.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 included significant non-cash expenses, including $31.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $3.9 million of share-based compensation and a $3.7 million loss on the fair value of our interest rate swaps, offset by changes in our assets and liabilities through the normal course of operations. Net income of $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 included significant non-cash expenses, including $26.3 million of depreciation and amortization and $12.5 million of loss on extinguishment of debt, offset by changes in our assets and liabilities through the normal course of operations.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, our net cash used in investing activities was $134.5 million and $12.8 million, respectively.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018:

• Acquisition of a portfolio of all-inclusive resorts and adjacent developable land sites from Sagicor of $93.1 million

• Purchases of property, plant and equipment of $40.1 million

• Purchase of intangibles of $1.3 million

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2017:

• Purchases of property, plant and equipment of $12.7 million

Capital Expenditures

We maintain each of our properties in good repair and condition and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations, franchise and license agreements and management agreements. Capital expenditures made to extend the service life or increase the capacity of our assets, including expenditures for the replacement, improvement or expansion of existing capital assets (“Maintenance Capital Expenditures”), differ from ongoing repair and maintenance expense items which do not in our judgment extend the service life or increase the capacity of assets and are charged to expense as incurred. We have approval rights over capital expenditures made by our third-party manager as part of the annual budget process for each property they manage. From time to time, certain of our resorts may be undergoing renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the resorts, such as guestrooms, public space, meeting space, gyms, spas and/or restaurants, in order to better compete with other hotels in our markets (“Development Capital Expenditures”).

The following table summarizes our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

52

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017
	($ in thousands)

_____

⁽¹⁾  Typically, maintenance capital expenditures equate to approximately 3% to 4% of Total Net Revenue.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $94.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $114.6 million provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018:

• Principal payments on our Term Loan of $4.8 million

• Proceeds from debt issuance of $99.5 million

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2017:

• Principal payments on our existing term loan of $362.8 million and our Senior Notes due 2020 of $121.6 million

• Proceeds from our term loan of $528.7 million, net of a $1.3 million discount

• Payments of our deferred consideration to the Real Shareholder of $1.3 million

• Recapitalization as part of the Pace Business Combination of $79.7 million

Senior Secured Credit Facility

Playa Resorts Holding B.V., a subsidiary of ours, holds a senior secured credit facility (“Senior Secured Credit Facility”), which consists of a term loan facility which matures on April 27, 2024 and our Revolving Credit Facility which matures on April 27, 2022. We borrowed $530.0 million under our initial term loan facility on April 27, 2017 (our “First Term Loan”). We received net proceeds of approximately $32.5 million from our First Term Loan after prepaying our existing Senior Secured Credit Facility and a portion of our Senior Notes due 2020 and deducting a debt issuance discount of $1.3 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.6 million.

We borrowed an additional $380.0 million under an incremental term loan facility (our “Second Term Loan” and together with the First Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) on December 6, 2017. We received no proceeds from the Second Term Loan after full repayment of our Senior Notes due 2020 and deducting a debt issuance discount of $1.0 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.2 million.

The maturity date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility and the First Term Loan were subject to an earlier maturity date (the “Springing Maturity Date”) if on the date that is 91 days prior to August 15, 2020 (the final maturity date of our Senior Notes due 2020), either the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2020 is greater than or equal to $25.0 million or, if less than $25.0 million, we were unable to demonstrate that we have sufficient liquidity to repay such outstanding principal amount without causing our liquidity to be less than $50.0 million.

Our Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.75% (where the applicable LIBOR rate has a 1.0% floor), and interest continues to be payable in cash in arrears on the last day of the applicable interest period (unless we elect to use

53

the ABR rate in which case, interest is payable on the last business day of each of March, June, September and December). Effective March 29, 2018, we entered into two interest rate swaps to mitigate the long term interest rate risk inherent in our variable rate Term Loan. The interest rate swaps have an aggregate fixed notional value of $800.0 million. The fixed rate paid by us is 2.85% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate.

On June 7, 2018, we entered into the Second Amendment to Amended & Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2017 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The Amendment amended the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things (i) effect an incremental term loan facility of $100.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan” and, together with the existing terms loans that were in effect prior to the Amendment, the “Term Loan”) that was incurred pursuant to the exercise of our option to request incremental loans under the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) decrease the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan by 0.50% to, at our option, either a base rate plus a margin of 1.75% or LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75%. The other terms to the Existing Credit Agreement, including those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018, were not effected by the Amendment. 

Our Term Loan requires quarterly payments of principal equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. The remaining unpaid amount of our Term Loan is due and payable at maturity on April 27, 2024 (subject to the Springing Maturity Date). We may voluntarily prepay borrowings at any time without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs in the case of LIBOR-based loans, as well a premium of 1% applicable in the case of a repayment of the Term Loan in the first six months following the closing date of the Term Loan in connection with certain transactions that have the effect of refinancing the Term Loan at a lower interest rate

Our Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at variable interest rates that are, at the Borrower's option, either based on LIBOR or based on an alternate base rate derived from the greatest of the federal funds rate plus a spread, prime rate, or a one-month euro-currency rate plus a spread. We are required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.5% per annum (depending on the level of our consolidated secured leverage ratio in effect from time to time) on the average daily undrawn balance.

The Senior Secured Facility requires that most of our subsidiaries, and in some limited cases the Company, comply with covenants relating to customary matters, including with respect to incurring indebtedness and liens, paying dividends or making certain other distributions or redeeming equity interests, making acquisitions and investments, effecting mergers and asset sales, prepaying junior indebtedness, and engaging in transactions with affiliates.

Pace Business Combination

At the Closing Time, we consummated the Pace Business Combination resulting in Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. having 103,464,186 shares outstanding with a par value of €0.10 per share. As a result, we received an additional $79.7 million in cash and all outstanding preferred shares of our Predecessor were purchased as well as all associated paid-in-kind dividends ($353.9 million in total), which were subsequently extinguished as part of the reverse merger in the Pace Business Combination. The additional capital was used for general corporate purposes.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth our obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts and contingent commitments as of June 30, 2018:

	Less than 1 Year(1)		Due in 1 to 3 years		Due in 3 to 5 years		Due in Over 5 years		Total

Total contractual obligations	$	33,832	$	145,643	$	131,831	$	1,028,211	$	1,339,517

________

⁽¹⁾  The period less than 1 year represents remaining obligations in 2018.

⁽²⁾  The interest commitment on our Revolving Credit Facility is calculated based on the contractual commitment fee of 0.5% applied to the undrawn balance of $100.0 million as we had no outstanding balance on our Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2018.

⁽³⁾  The interest commitment on our Term Loan is calculated based on LIBOR plus 275 basis points with a 1% LIBOR floor and the estimated net settlement of the related interest rate swaps. Projected interest rates range from 4.84% to 5.62%. Payments were calculated using the average forecasted one-month forward-looking LIBOR curve.

⁽⁴⁾  The remaining $10.6 million of the purchase price is due on the earlier of (i) two years from the beginning of construction or (ii) the opening of the Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana and Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana resorts.

⁽⁵⁾  We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of future cash flows of our pension obligation of $4.9 million and have excluded this from the table above.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off balance sheet arrangements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. A number of our significant accounting policies are critical due to the fact that they require us to exercise a higher degree of judgment and estimation based on assumptions that are inherently uncertain. While we believe our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions, which could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them except for those disclosed in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts receivable from related parties, trade and other payables, accounts payable to related parties, derivatives and debt. See Note 16, “Fair value of financial instruments,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Related Party Transactions

See Note 7, “Related party transactions,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on these transactions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See the recent accounting pronouncements in the “Standards not yet adopted” section of Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

In the normal course of operations, we are exposed to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk which may impact future income and cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk

The risk from market interest rate fluctuations mainly affects long-term debt bearing interest at a variable interest rate. We currently use an interest rate swap (see Note 15 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) to manage exposure to this risk. As of June 30, 2018, approximately 20% of our outstanding indebtedness bore interest at floating rates and approximately 80% bore interest at fixed rates. If market rates of interest on our floating rate debt were to increase by 1.0%, the increase in interest expense on our floating rate debt would decrease our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $2.0 million annually, assuming the balance outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility remained at $0. If market rates of interest on our floating rate debt were to decrease by 1.0%, the decrease in interest expense on our floating rate debt would increase our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $2.0 million annually, assuming the balance outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility remained at $0.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations because all of our resort investments are based in locations where the local currency is not the U.S. dollar, which is our reporting currency. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 approximately 7% of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, our revenues reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) are affected by movements in exchange rates.

Approximately 77.7% of our operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were denominated in the local currencies in the countries in which we operate. As a result, our operating expenses reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) are affected by movements in exchange rates.

The foreign currencies in which our expenses are primarily denominated are the Mexican Peso, Dominican Peso and the Jamaican Dollar. The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Mexican Peso-denominated expenses at June 30, 2018 would have impacted our net income before tax by approximately $4.1 million on a year-to-date basis. The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Dominican Peso-denominated expenses at June 30, 2018 would have impacted our net income before tax by approximately $1.7 million on a year-to-date basis. The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Jamaican Dollar-denominated expenses at June 30, 2018 would have impacted our net income before tax by approximately $1.3 million on a year-to-date basis.

At this time, we do not have any outstanding derivatives or other financial instruments designed to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that ongoing evaluation, and considering the continuing review of controls and procedures that is being conducted by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, including the remedial actions and the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting disclosed below, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2018.

56

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018 (“Form 10-K”), we have identified, and Deloitte & Touche, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, included in our Form 10-K and the related Condensed Financial Information of Registrant included in this quarterly report, has communicated, a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as December 31, 2017. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We previously reported the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2017, which has not been remediated as of June 30, 2018:

• Our information technology controls, including system access, change management, and segregation of duties are not sufficiently designed and implemented to address certain information technology risks and, as a result, could expose our systems and data to unauthorized use or alteration.

We continue to take steps to remediate the identified material weakness. The Company has engaged a third party consulting firm to assist the Company with the implementation of a global information technology solution designed to address the elements which give rise to our material weakness, which is expected to be finalized in 2019. However, effectiveness will need to be successfully tested over several quarters before we can conclude that the material weakness has been remediated. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in making these improvements and in remediating our current material weakness in a timely manner, or at all, and we may not prevent future material weaknesses from occurring.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, workers' compensation and other employee claims, intellectual property claims and claims related to our management of certain hotel properties. Most occurrences involving liability and claims of negligence are covered by insurance with solvent insurance carriers. We recognize a liability when we believe the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We currently believe that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

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 and/or manage a portfolio of 20 resorts located in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. We currently manage 13 of the 18 resorts we own, as well as two resorts owned by third parties. 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

On June 1, 2018, we completed a business combination with theSagicor Parties(as defined in Note 4), which caused us to evaluate and modify the presentation of our reportable segments. See Note 4 and Note 19 for additional discussion regarding the business combination and our reportable segments, respectively.

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 U.S. 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, 2017, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2018.

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. Results for all comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2018. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following disclosures are in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Significant accounting policies

Derivative financial instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swap contracts, to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at period end. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivative contracts not designated for hedge accounting are recorded in interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Standards adopted

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as clarified and amended by ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20	This standard provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance.	January 2018	We applied the modified retrospective transition method to all contracts upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We provided the additional required disclosures, but the cumulative adjustment from our comparative periods was zero in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3.
ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities as clarified and amended by ASU 2018-03	This standard significantly revises the accounting related to the classification and measurement of investment in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes of financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2016-01 reduced our disclosure requirements, but did not impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We are no longer required to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)	This standard amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. ASC 230 lacks consistent principles for evaluating the classification of cash payments and receipts in the statement of cash flows. This has led to diversity in practice and, in certain circumstances, financial statement restatements. Therefore, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 with the intent of reducing diversity in practice with respect to eight types of cash flows.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2016-15 provided clarification to existing requirements and did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory	This standard requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Prior to this ASU, an entity was prohibited from recognizing the income tax consequences of an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset had been sold to an outside party.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We have limited intra-entity asset transfers, or intercompany sales, other than inventory that would require income tax recognition.
ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business	This standard provides guidance that will enable more consistency in accounting for transactions when determining if they represent acquisitions or disposals of assets or of a business. Under the ASU, when determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities constitutes a business, entities must go through a “screen”.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2017-01 simplified our decision making process of determining whether a purchase constitutes a business combination or an acquisition of assets. We applied this guidance to our acquisition of the Sagicor Assets (as defined in Note 4), which was accounted for as a business combination.
ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Non-financial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Non-financial Assets	The standard clarifies the scope and accounting of a financial asset that meets the definition of an in substance non-financial asset and the definition of an in substance non-financial asset. The ASU also adds guidance for partial sales of non-financial assets.	January 2018	We utilized the modified retrospective transition method upon the adoption of ASU 2017-05 and the cumulative adjustment from our comparative periods was zero in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as we historically have not sold material non-financial assets in our normal course of business.

Standards not yet adopted

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)	This standard introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. This will increase a lessee’s reported assets and liabilities—in some cases very significantly. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP.	January 2019	We are currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 noting that we have not determined the full impact of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, we expect to record a right of use asset and corresponding lease liability for our operating leases with an original term of greater than one year where we are the lessee. The potential impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is largely based upon the population of long-term leases in effect at the date of adoption, but we expect the most significant leases to consist of our corporate offices. We do not expect material changes to the recognition of operating lease expense in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as described in Note 2, using the modified retrospective approach to all contracts resulting in no cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit. The adoption of this standard did not impact the timing of our revenue recognition based on the short-term, day-to-day nature of our operations.

The following tables present our revenues disaggregated by geographic segment (refer to discussion of our reportable segments in Note 19) ($ in thousands):

Performance obligations

We recognize revenues when the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the product or service to our customers as described in the table below:

Revenue	Description	Timing of Revenue Recognition
Package	Sale of all-inclusive packages, which include room accommodations, food and beverage services and entertainment activities. All services offered as part of the all-inclusive experience are considered to be one performance obligation.	Revenue is recognized, net of discounts and rebates, based on the agreed upon price after each stay when our performance obligation of all-inclusive services is considered transferred to the customer.
Non-package	All other revenues earned from the operations of our resorts other than package revenue. This includes, but is not limited to, the sale of upgrades, premium services and amenities, such as premium rooms, dining experiences, wines and spirits and spa packages.	Revenue is recognized based on the agreed upon price after the completion of the sale when the product or service is transferred to the customer.
Management fees	Fees earned for managing hotels owned by third-parties. The fees earned are typically composed of a base fee, which is computed as a percentage of resort revenue, and an incentive fee, which is computed as a percentage of resort profitability.	Revenue is recognized over the term of the service period as the third-party owners benefit from our management services.
Cost reimbursements	Cash reimbursements for costs related to managing hotels owned by third-parties.	Revenue is recognized when agreed upon reimbursable costs are incurred from managing hotels owned by third-parties.

We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an expected length of one year or less. Due to the nature of our business, our revenue is not significantly impacted by refunds. Cash payments received in advance of guests staying at our resorts are refunded to hotel guests if the guest cancels within the specified time period, before any services are rendered. Refunds related to service are generally recognized as an adjustment to the transaction price at the time the hotel stay occurs or services are rendered.

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 other than trade and other receivables, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our receivables are primarily the result of contracts with customers, which are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of amounts that will not be collected.

We record contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of guests staying at our resorts, which are presented within advance deposits (see Note 18) within trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities decreased from $40.9 million as of December 31, 2017 to $36.1 million as of June 30, 2018. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily driven by $33.1 million of package revenue recognized that was included in the advanced deposits balance as of December 31, 2017, partially offset by additional cash payments received from guests prior to their stay and $5.8 millionin advance deposits acquired in the business combination with theSagicor Parties(as defined in Note 4).

Contract costs

We consider sales commissions earned to be incremental costs of obtaining a contract with our customers. As a practical expedient, we expense these costs as incurred when the period to be benefited is less than one year.

Business combination with the Sagicor Parties

On February 26, 2018, we entered into a Share Exchange Implementation Agreement with JCSD Trustee Services Limited, X Fund Properties Limited, Sagicor Pooled Investment Funds Limited, and Sagicor Real Estate X Fund Limited (collectively, the “Sagicor Parties”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Share Exchange Implementation Agreement dated May 31, 2018 (as amended, the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Sagicor Parties agreed to contribute a portfolio of the following assets (the “SagicorAssets”) to a subsidiary of Playa in exchange for consideration consisting of a combination of our ordinary shares and cash:

• The Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa;

• The Jewel Runaway Bay Beach & Golf Resort;

• The Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort;

• The Jewel Paradise Cove Beach Resort & Spa;

• The 88 units comprising one of the towers in the multi-tower condominium and spa at the Jewel Grande Montego Bay, which will be incorporated into the Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall in Jamaica;

• Developable land sites adjacent to the Jewel Grande Montego Bay and the Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa;

• The management contract for a portion of the units owned by the Sagicor Parties at the Jewel Grande Montego Bay; and

• All of the Sagicor Parties' rights to “The Jewel” hotel brand.

On June 1, 2018 (the “Acquisition Date”), we consummated our acquisition of the SagicorAssets for total consideration, after preliminary working capital adjustments, of $308.5 million. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and allocated the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The business combination with the Sagicor Parties allows us to expand our portfolio of resorts in the all-inclusive segment of the lodging industry, capitalize on opportunities for internal growth and create significant operational synergies.

The following table summarizes the fair value of each class of consideration transferred to the Sagicor Parties on the Acquisition Date ($ in thousands, except share data):

Cash consideration, net of cash acquired of $0.1 million	$	93,128
Ordinary shares (20,000,000 shares at the Acquisition Date closing price of $10.77 per share, €0.10 par value)	215,400
Total purchase consideration	$	308,528

Preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed

The following table presents our preliminary estimates of fair values of the assets that we acquired and the liabilities that we assumed on the Acquisition Date. Our preliminary estimates are based on the information that was available as of the Acquisition Date, and we are continuing to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions used in our valuations. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the Acquisition Date ($ in thousands):

Total purchase consideration	$	308,528
Net assets acquired
Working capital	(1,665		)
Property, plant and equipment	309,452
Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities	2,197
Deferred income taxes	(28,753		)
Goodwill	27,297
Total net assets acquired	$	308,528

Property, plant and equipment

We acquired property, plant and equipment, which primarily consists of the all-inclusive resorts and adjacent developable land sites that we acquired. We provisionally estimated the value of the acquired property, plant and equipment using a combination of the income and market approaches, which are primarily based on significant Level 2 and Level 3 assumptions (as described in Note 16), such as estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, and capital expenditure needs of the SagicorAssets.

Identified intangible assets and liabilities

The following table presents our preliminary estimates of the fair values of the identified intangible asset and liabilities and their related estimated useful lives that we acquired on the Acquisition Date ($ in thousands):

	Balance Sheet Classification	Estimated Fair Value			Weighted-Average Amortization Period (in years)
Management agreement	Other intangible assets	$	1,900		20
Favorable ground lease asset	Prepayments and other assets	2,631			22
Unfavorable ground lease liability	Other liabilities	(2,334		)	22
Total identifiable intangibles acquired		$	2,197

We provisionally estimated the value of the management agreement using the multi-period excess earnings valuation method, which is a variation of the income valuation approach. This method estimates an intangible asset’s value based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. This valuation approach utilizes Level 3 inputs (as described in Note 16).

Deferred income taxes

Deferred income taxes primarily relate to the fair value of non-current assets and liabilities acquired from the Sagicor Parties, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and liabilities and other. We provisionally estimated deferred income taxes based on the statutory rate in the jurisdiction of the legal entities where the acquired non-current assets and liabilities are recorded. We will update our estimate of deferred income taxes based on changes to our preliminary valuations of the related assets and liabilities, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.

Goodwill

The excess of the purchase consideration over the aggregate estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and future growth opportunities of our combined operations and is not deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill related to the business combination was recognized at the Jamaica reportable segment (refer to discussion of our reportable segments in Note 19).

Pro forma results of operations

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations have been prepared as though the business combination was completed on January 1, 2017. This unaudited pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations of Playa that actually would have resulted had the acquisition of the SagicorAssets occurred at the date indicated, nor does it project the results of operations of Playa for any future date or period ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017			2018		2017
Pro forma revenue	$	163,270	$	166,101		$	372,183	$	370,765
Pro forma net income (loss)	$	19,911	$	(9,517	)	$	50,319	$	20,052
Pro forma earnings (losses) per share - Basic	$	0.15	$	(0.08	)	$	0.39	$	0.09
Pro forma earnings (losses) per share - Diluted	$	0.15	$	(0.08	)	$	0.39	$	0.09

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 includes adjustments for:

• Depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the estimated fair values of acquired property, plant and equipment and identifiable definite-lived intangible assets and liabilities, respectively;

• Elimination of the SagicorAssets' management fees and interest expense;

• Interest expense resulting from the issuance of an $100.0 million term loan add-on (see Note 14);

• Related income tax effects; and

• Weighted average number of shares outstanding.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred approximately $2.0 million in transaction costs related to the acquisition and approximately $1.3 million in transaction costs related to the issuance of the $100.0 million term loan add-on. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are reflected in unaudited pro forma net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 in the table above.

SagicorAssets' results of operations

The following table presents the results of the SagicorAssets' operations, which are recorded within our Jamaica reportable segment, included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the period from the Acquisition Date through June 30, 2018 ($ in thousands):

Net income	$	2,692

Recapitalization transaction

At 12:00 a.m. Central European Time on March 12, 2017, we consummated a business combination (the “Pace Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain transaction agreement by and among us, Playa Hotels & Resorts B.V. (our “Predecessor”), Pace Holdings Corp. (“Pace”) and New Pace Holdings Corp. (“New Pace”), the effects of which replicated the economics of a reverse merger between our Predecessor and Pace. In connection with the Pace Business Combination, Pace formed Porto Holdco B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid), as a wholly-owned subsidiary to facilitate the reverse merger with our Predecessor. Prior to the consummation of the Pace Business Combination, Porto Holdco B.V. was converted to a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) and changed its name to Porto Holdco N.V. Upon the consummation of the Pace Business Combination, the Company's name was changed to Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V.

For accounting and financial reporting purposes, the Pace Business Combination was accounted for as a recapitalization of our Predecessor because Pace was incorporated as a special purpose acquisition company and considered a public shell company. Our Predecessor also maintained effective control of the combined entity because our Predecessor's operations comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity, our Predecessor's senior management became the senior management of the combined entity and our Predecessor's directors were appointed to, and constitute the majority of, the combined entity's board of directors. Accordingly, no step-up in basis of assets or goodwill were recorded.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein are those of our Predecessor for all periods prior to the completion of the Pace Business Combination and the recapitalization of the number of ordinary shares attributable to our Predecessor shareholders is reflected retroactively to the earliest period presented. Accordingly, the number of ordinary shares presented as outstanding as of December 31, 2016 totaled 50,481,822 and consisted of the number of ordinary shares issued to Predecessor shareholders. This number of shares was also used to calculate the Company’s earnings per share for all periods prior to the Pace Business Combination.

The consideration received as a result of the Pace Business Combination is summarized as follows ($ in thousands):

Purchase of all of our Predecessor's cumulative redeemable preferred shares (1)	$	353,873
Net cash transferred from Pace	78,859
Playa Employee Offering (2)	799
Total consideration transferred	$	433,531

________

⁽¹⁾Balance consisted of the face value of our Predecessor's cumulative redeemable preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”) and their associated PIK dividends as of March 10, 2017, per the terms of the Pace Business Combination.

⁽²⁾In connection with the Pace Business Combination, we entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with Playa employees, their family members and persons with business relationships with Playa, pursuant to which those persons agreed to purchase 82,751 ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $0.8 million.

Cap Cana development

On July 12, 2017, we acquired the land for the new Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana and Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for total consideration of $56.2 million. We paid $45.6 million of the consideration in cash upon closing of the acquisition. The remaining $10.6 million balance is due on the earlier of (i) two years from the beginning of construction of the resorts or (ii) the opening of the resorts and is recorded in other liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheetas of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income taxes

Income taxes

We are domiciled in The Netherlands and are taxed in The Netherlands with our other Dutch subsidiaries. Dutch companies are subject to Dutch corporate income tax at a general tax rate of 25%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, our income tax benefit was $3.4 million, compared to a $6.3 million tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decreased income tax provision of $9.7 million was driven primarily by the increased discrete tax benefit associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our income tax provision was $6.2 million, compared to a $19.9 million tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decreased income tax provision of $13.7 million was driven primarily by the increased discrete tax benefit associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation, commonly referred to as U.S. Tax Reform.  As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company completed its deferred tax accounting related to the reduction to the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%.  We are not aware of any significant changes to this legislation for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Since we are a company incorporated in the Netherlands and do not have any controlled foreign corporations under U.S. tax law, we concluded that the new legislation related to global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) and base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) does not apply and therefore no policy decision is required.

Commitments and contingencies

Commitments and contingencies

Litigation, claims and assessments

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, workers' compensation and other employee claims, intellectual property claims and claims related to our management of certain hotel properties. Most occurrences involving liability and claims of negligence are covered by insurance with solvent insurance carriers. We recognize a liability when we believe the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We currently believe that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Dutch corporate income tax act provides the option of a fiscal unity, which is a consolidated tax regime wherein the profits and losses of group companies can be offset against each other. Our Dutch companies file as a fiscal unity, with the exception of Playa Romana B.V., Playa Romana Mar B.V. and Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. Playa Resorts Holding B.V. is the head of our Dutch fiscal unity and is jointly and severally liable for the tax liabilities of the fiscal unity as a whole.

During the third quarter of 2015, we identified and recorded a potential Dutch operating tax contingency resulting from allocations to be made of certain corporate expenses from 2014 and 2015. We have provided all requested documentation to the Dutch tax authorities for their review and are currently waiting for their final determination. We have an estimated amount of $1.6 million as a tax contingency at June 30, 2018 that is recorded in other liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Electricity supply contract

One of our subsidiaries entered into an electricity supply contract wherein we committed to purchase electricity from a provider over a five-year period ending December 2019. In consideration for our commitment, we received certain rebates. Should this contract be terminated prior to the end of the five-year period, we will be obligated to refund to the supplier the undepreciated portion of (i) the capital investment it made to connect our facilities to the power grid (original amount approximately $1.4 million) and (ii) the unearned rebates we received (total unearned rebates of $0.6 million and $0.8 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively), in each case using a 20% straight-line depreciation per annum.

Leases and other commitments

We lease certain equipment for the operations of our hotels under various lease agreements. The leases extend for varying periods through 2021 and contain fixed components and utility payments. In addition, all of our administrative offices are subject to leases of building facilities from third parties, which extend for varying periods through 2023 and contain fixed and variable components.

Rental expense under non-cancelable operating leases, including contingent leases, consisted of $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Rental expense under non-cancelable operating leases, including contingent leases, consisted of $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]

Share-based compensation

Share-based compensation

The Company adopted the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) to attract and retain independent directors, executive officers and other key employees and service providers. The 2017 Plan was approved by the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company on March 10, 2017. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, who may grant awards covering a maximum of 4,000,000 of our ordinary shares under the 2017 Plan. The Compensation Committee may award share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, share units, unrestricted shares, dividend equivalent rights, performance shares and other performance-based awards, other equity-based awards, and cash bonus awards. As of June 30, 2018, there were 1,317,396 shares available for future grants under the 2017 Plan.

Restricted share awards

Restricted share awards are granted to eligible employees, executives, and board members. Restricted shares are ordinary shares that are subject to restrictions and to a risk of forfeiture.

On May 16, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the issuance of 994,115 restricted share awards to employees and executives of the Company. Each award granted vests over a five year period with 25% of the underlying award vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date of the award, 25% vesting on the fourth anniversary of the grant date of the award and 50% vesting on the fifth anniversary of the grant date of the award.

On May 26, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the issuance of 410,096 restricted share awards to employees and executives of the Company and 51,569 restricted share awards to directors of the Company for their services as directors. Each award granted to employees and executives vests pro rata over a three year period. Each award granted to a director was fully vested on the date of grant.

On January 2, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the issuance of 438,185 restricted share awards to employees and executives of the Company and 48,699 restricted share awards to directors of the Company for their services as directors. Each award granted to employees and executives vests pro rata over a three year period. Each award granted to a director was fully vested on the date of grant.

The vesting of restricted share awards is subject to the holder's continued employment through the applicable vesting date. Unvested awards will be forfeited if the employee's or the executive's employment terminates during the vesting period, provided that unvested awards will accelerate upon certain terminations of employment as set forth in the applicable award agreements. The holders of these awards have the right to vote the restricted shares and receive all dividends declared and paid on such shares, provided that dividends paid on unvested restricted shares will be subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable to the underlying restricted shares.

Compensation expense for the restricted share awards is measured based upon the fair market value of our ordinary shares at the date of grant and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

A summary of our restricted share awards from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 is as follows:

	Number of Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2018	1,265,830		$	10.19
Granted	486,884		10.78
Vested	(181,296	)	10.34
Forfeited	(22,735	)	10.20
Unvested balance at June 30, 2018	1,548,683		$	10.36

The total fair value of vested restricted share awards during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1.9 million and$0.5 million, respectively. The total fair value of vested restricted share awards during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1.4 million and$0.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted share awards was $13.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years and 4.3 years, respectively.

Compensation expense related to the restricted share awards was $2.8 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1.2 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Performance share awards

Performance share awards consist of a grant of ordinary shares that may become earned and vested based on the achievement of performance targets adopted by our Compensation Committee. 

On May 26, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a target award of 265,222 performance shares to executives of the Company. The actual number of ordinary shares that ultimately vest will range from0%to150%of the target award and will be determined in 2020 based ontwoperformance criteria as defined in the award agreements for the period of performance from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019.

On January 2, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a target award of 273,729 performance shares to executives of the Company. The actual number of ordinary shares that ultimately vest will range from 0% to 150% of the target award and will be determined in 2021 based on two performance criteria as defined in the award agreements for the period of performance from January 2, 2018 through December 31, 2020.

Any ordinary shares that ultimately vest based on the achievement of the applicable performance criteria will be deemed to be vested on the date on which our Compensation Committee certifies the level of achievement of such performance criteria. Except in connection with certain qualifying terminations of employment, as set forth in the applicable award agreements, the awards require continued service through the certification date. The holders of these awards have the right to vote the ordinary shares granted to the holder and any dividends declared on such shares will be accumulated and will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the awards. 

The grant date fair value of the portion of the award based on the compounded annual growth rate of the Company's total shareholder return was estimated using a Monte-Carlo model. The table below summarizes the key inputs used in the Monte-Carlo simulation ($ in thousands):

Performance Award Grant Date	Percentage of Total Award		Grant Date Fair Value by Component		Volatility (1)		Interest Rate (2)		Dividend Yield
May 26, 2017
Total Shareholder Return	50	%	$	770	27.02	%	1.39	%	—	%
Adjusted EBITDA Comparison	50	%	$	1,350	—	%	—	%	—	%
January 2, 2018
Total Shareholder Return	50	%	$	860	26.13	%	2.00	%	—	%
Adjusted EBITDA Comparison	50	%	$	1,475	—	%	—	%	—	%

________

⁽¹⁾ Expected volatility was determined based on the historical share prices in our industry.

⁽²⁾ The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the remaining term of the measurement period.

In the table above, the total shareholder return component is a market condition as defined by ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, and compensation expense related to this component is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The grant date fair value of the portion of the awards based on the compounded annual growth rate of the Company's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was based on the closing stock price of our ordinary shares on such date. The Adjusted EBITDA component is a performance condition as defined by ASC 718, and, therefore, compensation expense related to this component will be reassessed at each reporting date based on the Company's estimate of the probable level of achievement, and the accrual of compensation expense will be adjusted as appropriate.

As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the performance share awards was $3.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years and 2.9 years, respectively. Compensation expense related to the performance share awards was approximately $1.1 million and less than $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1.0 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Preferred Shares

Prior to the consummation of the Pace Business Combination, all of our Predecessor's Preferred Shares were purchased at a purchase price of $8.40 per share for an aggregate amount of $353.9 million, which consisted of $239.5 million in face value and $114.4 million of associated PIK dividends. The Preferred Shares issued by our Predecessor were eliminated and extinguished as part of the reverse merger in the Pace Business Combination. The extinguishment is reflected as a non-cash financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per share

Earnings per share

Prior to the consummation of the Pace Business Combination, our Preferred Shares and their related accumulated Non-cash PIK Dividends were participating securities. If a dividend was declared or paid on our Predecessor's ordinary shares, holders of our Predecessor's ordinary shares and Preferred Shares were entitled to proportionate shares of such dividend, with the holders of our Predecessor's Preferred Shares participating on an as-if converted basis.

Under the two-class method, basic earnings (losses) per share (“EPS”) attributable to ordinary shareholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders is determined by allocating undistributed earnings between ordinary and preferred shareholders. For periods in which there are undistributed losses, there is no allocation of undistributed earnings to preferred shareholders.

Diluted EPS attributable to ordinary shareholders is computed by using the more dilutive result of the two-class method, the if-converted method or the treasury stock method. The if-converted method uses the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, including potentially dilutive ordinary shares assuming the conversion of the outstanding Preferred Shares of our Predecessor, as of the first day of the reporting period. The dilutive effect of awards under our equity compensation plan is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

Under the two-class method, the number of shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share is the same as that used for the computation of basic earnings per share for participating securities, as the result would be anti-dilutive. The net income attributable to ordinary shareholders is not allocated to the Preferred Shares until all other reserves have been exhausted or such loss cannot be covered in any other way.

The calculations of basic and diluted EPS are as follows ($ in thousands):

________

⁽¹⁾ For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Preferred Share dividends of our Predecessor of $7.9 million and the preferred shareholders’ allocation of undistributed earnings of our Predecessor of $1.4 million were not added back for purposes of calculating diluted EPS because the effect of treating our Predecessor's Preferred Shares as if they had been converted to their 15,927,778 ordinary share equivalents as of January 1, 2017 was anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 538,951 and 265,222 of unvested performance-based equity awards, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as the performance criteria were not met as of the end of the reporting period. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, 1,400,386 of unvested restricted share awards are not included in the computation of diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 538,951 and 265,222 shares of unvested performance-based equity awards, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS after assumed conversions as the performance criteria were not met as of the end of the reporting period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, outstanding Earnout Warrants to acquire a total of 3,000,000 ordinary shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS after assumed conversions because the warrants were not exercisable as of June 30, 2018 or June 30, 2017, respectively.

⁽¹⁾  Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at floating rates equal to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.75% (where the applicable LIBOR rate has a 1.0% floor). The interest rate was 4.84% and 4.62% as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Effective March 29, 2018, we entered into two interest rate swaps to fix interest at 2.85% on $800.0 million of our Term Loan (See Note 15).

June 2018 amendment

On June 7, 2018, we entered into the Second Amendment to Amended & Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2017 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The Amendment amended the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things (i) effect an incremental term loan facility of $100.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan” and, together with the existing terms loans that were in effect prior to the Amendment, the “Term Loan”) that was incurred pursuant to the exercise of our option to request incremental loans under the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) decrease the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan by 0.50% to, at our option, either a base rate plus a margin of 1.75% or LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75%. The other terms to the Existing Credit Agreement, including those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018, were not effected by the Amendment. 

Financial maintenance covenants

Our Existing Credit Agreement requires us to meet a springing leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant, but only if the aggregate amount outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility exceeds 35% of the aggregate revolving credit commitments as defined in our Existing Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2018.

Interest Rate Swaps

Effective March 29, 2018, we entered into two interest rate swaps to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in our variable rate debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan. The interest rate swaps have fixed notional values of $200.0 million and $600.0 million. The fixed rate paid by us is 2.85% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate. The interest rate swaps are not for trading purposes and we have not designated the interest rate swaps for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognized in earnings immediately as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The interest rate swaps mature on March 31, 2023.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value of financial instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts receivable from related parties, trade and other payables, accounts payable to related parties, derivatives and debt. We believe the carrying value of these assets and liabilities, excluding the Term Loan, approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Fair value measurements

The objective of a fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework, which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

• Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and reflect our judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

We did not have any movements in and out of Level 3 for our fair valued instruments during any of the above periods.

The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for our financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018($ in thousands):

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of our financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and our financial liabilities not measured at fair value:

	Valuation Technique
Financial liabilities recorded at fair value:
Interest rate swaps	The fair value of the interest rate swaps is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the swaps, the contractual period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk.
Financial liabilities not recorded at fair value:
Term Loan	The fair value of our Term Loan is estimated using cash flow projections over the remaining contractual period by applying market forward rates and discounting back at the appropriate discount rate.
Revolving Credit Facility	The valuation technique of our Revolving Credit Facility is consistent with our Term Loan. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility generally approximates its carrying value as the expected term is significantly shorter in duration.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment information

Segment information

As a result of our business combination with the Sagicor Parties, we evaluated and modified the presentation of our reportable segments to reflect the management of our resorts after the incorporation of the Sagicor Assets. We divided our Caribbean Basin segment into separate Dominican Republic and Jamaica segments, which caused us to change from three to four reportable segments. The results for all comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

We consider each one of our resorts to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. We also allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual resorts. Our operating segments meet the aggregation criteria and thus, we report four separate segments by geography: (i) Yucatán Peninsula, (ii) Pacific Coast, (iii) Dominican Republic and (iv) Jamaica. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we have excluded the immaterial amounts of management fees, cost reimbursements and other from our segment reporting.

Our operating segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, all of whom represent our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Financial information for each reportable segment is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. We did not provide a reconciliation of reportable segments' assets to our consolidated assets as this information is not reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources.

The performance of our operating segments is evaluated primarily on adjusted earnings before interest expense, income tax benefit (provision), and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the period presented, before interest expense, income tax benefit (provision), and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted to exclude the following items: (a) other income (expense), net; (b) share-based compensation; (c) loss on extinguishment of debt; (d) transaction expenses; (e) severance expense; (f) other tax expense; (g) Jamaica delayed opening accrual reversal and (h) non-service cost components of net periodic pension cost (benefit).

There are limitations to using financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA. For example, 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 financial measures that other companies publish 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 or loss generated by our business or discretionary cash available for investment in our business and investors should carefully consider our U.S. GAAP results presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables present segment net revenue, a reconciliation to gross revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net income (loss) ($ in thousands):

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement

Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement

On June 1, 2018, we completed a business combination with theSagicor Parties(as defined in Note 4), which caused us to evaluate and modify the presentation of our reportable segments. See Note 4 and Note 19 for additional discussion regarding the business combination and our reportable segments, respectively.

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 U.S. 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, 2017, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2018.

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. Results for all comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2018. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following disclosures are in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swap contracts, to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at period end. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivative contracts not designated for hedge accounting are recorded in interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Standards adopted and Standards not yet adopted

Standards adopted

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as clarified and amended by ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20	This standard provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance.	January 2018	We applied the modified retrospective transition method to all contracts upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We provided the additional required disclosures, but the cumulative adjustment from our comparative periods was zero in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3.
ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities as clarified and amended by ASU 2018-03	This standard significantly revises the accounting related to the classification and measurement of investment in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes of financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2016-01 reduced our disclosure requirements, but did not impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We are no longer required to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)	This standard amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. ASC 230 lacks consistent principles for evaluating the classification of cash payments and receipts in the statement of cash flows. This has led to diversity in practice and, in certain circumstances, financial statement restatements. Therefore, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 with the intent of reducing diversity in practice with respect to eight types of cash flows.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2016-15 provided clarification to existing requirements and did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory	This standard requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Prior to this ASU, an entity was prohibited from recognizing the income tax consequences of an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset had been sold to an outside party.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We have limited intra-entity asset transfers, or intercompany sales, other than inventory that would require income tax recognition.
ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business	This standard provides guidance that will enable more consistency in accounting for transactions when determining if they represent acquisitions or disposals of assets or of a business. Under the ASU, when determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities constitutes a business, entities must go through a “screen”.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2017-01 simplified our decision making process of determining whether a purchase constitutes a business combination or an acquisition of assets. We applied this guidance to our acquisition of the Sagicor Assets (as defined in Note 4), which was accounted for as a business combination.
ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Non-financial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Non-financial Assets	The standard clarifies the scope and accounting of a financial asset that meets the definition of an in substance non-financial asset and the definition of an in substance non-financial asset. The ASU also adds guidance for partial sales of non-financial assets.	January 2018	We utilized the modified retrospective transition method upon the adoption of ASU 2017-05 and the cumulative adjustment from our comparative periods was zero in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as we historically have not sold material non-financial assets in our normal course of business.

Standards not yet adopted

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)	This standard introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. This will increase a lessee’s reported assets and liabilities—in some cases very significantly. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP.	January 2019	We are currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 noting that we have not determined the full impact of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, we expect to record a right of use asset and corresponding lease liability for our operating leases with an original term of greater than one year where we are the lessee. The potential impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is largely based upon the population of long-term leases in effect at the date of adoption, but we expect the most significant leases to consist of our corporate offices. We do not expect material changes to the recognition of operating lease expense in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business	This standard provides guidance that will enable more consistency in accounting for transactions when determining if they represent acquisitions or disposals of assets or of a business. Under the ASU, when determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities constitutes a business, entities must go through a “screen”.	January 2018	The adoption of ASU 2017-01 simplified our decision making process of determining whether a purchase constitutes a business combination or an acquisition of assets. We applied this guidance to our acquisition of the Sagicor Assets (as defined in Note 4), which was accounted for as a business combination.
ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Non-financial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Non-financial Assets	The standard clarifies the scope and accounting of a financial asset that meets the definition of an in substance non-financial asset and the definition of an in substance non-financial asset. The ASU also adds guidance for partial sales of non-financial assets.	January 2018	We utilized the modified retrospective transition method upon the adoption of ASU 2017-05 and the cumulative adjustment from our comparative periods was zero in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as we historically have not sold material non-financial assets in our normal course of business.

Standards not yet adopted

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)	This standard introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. This will increase a lessee’s reported assets and liabilities—in some cases very significantly. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP.	January 2019	We are currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 noting that we have not determined the full impact of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, we expect to record a right of use asset and corresponding lease liability for our operating leases with an original term of greater than one year where we are the lessee. The potential impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is largely based upon the population of long-term leases in effect at the date of adoption, but we expect the most significant leases to consist of our corporate offices. We do not expect material changes to the recognition of operating lease expense in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Performance Obligations, Timing of Satisfaction

We recognize revenues when the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the product or service to our customers as described in the table below:

Revenue	Description	Timing of Revenue Recognition
Package	Sale of all-inclusive packages, which include room accommodations, food and beverage services and entertainment activities. All services offered as part of the all-inclusive experience are considered to be one performance obligation.	Revenue is recognized, net of discounts and rebates, based on the agreed upon price after each stay when our performance obligation of all-inclusive services is considered transferred to the customer.
Non-package	All other revenues earned from the operations of our resorts other than package revenue. This includes, but is not limited to, the sale of upgrades, premium services and amenities, such as premium rooms, dining experiences, wines and spirits and spa packages.	Revenue is recognized based on the agreed upon price after the completion of the sale when the product or service is transferred to the customer.
Management fees	Fees earned for managing hotels owned by third-parties. The fees earned are typically composed of a base fee, which is computed as a percentage of resort revenue, and an incentive fee, which is computed as a percentage of resort profitability.	Revenue is recognized over the term of the service period as the third-party owners benefit from our management services.
Cost reimbursements	Cash reimbursements for costs related to managing hotels owned by third-parties.	Revenue is recognized when agreed upon reimbursable costs are incurred from managing hotels owned by third-parties.

Summary of Valuation Techniques

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of our financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and our financial liabilities not measured at fair value:

	Valuation Technique
Financial liabilities recorded at fair value:
Interest rate swaps	The fair value of the interest rate swaps is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the swaps, the contractual period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk.
Financial liabilities not recorded at fair value:
Term Loan	The fair value of our Term Loan is estimated using cash flow projections over the remaining contractual period by applying market forward rates and discounting back at the appropriate discount rate.
Revolving Credit Facility	The valuation technique of our Revolving Credit Facility is consistent with our Term Loan. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility generally approximates its carrying value as the expected term is significantly shorter in duration.
