First Quarter Operational Commentary

• Luxury chain scale led RevPAR growth in the quarter. Leisure transient RevPAR remained the strongest area of growth, while group and business transient RevPAR each grew in the low single–digits. Geopolitical conflict in the Middle East negatively impacted RevPAR growth by approximately 50 bps.

• Net Package RevPAR increased 7.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2025, despite security concerns in Mexico, reflecting continued strong demand of luxury all-inclusive travel.

• Gross fees increased 8.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting strong core business performance.
  • Base management fees increased 10.9%, driven by managed hotel RevPAR and Net Package RevPAR growth outside the United States, strong resort performance in the United States, fees from the Playa Hotels Acquisition, and contributions from newly opened hotels.
  • Incentive management fees increased 13.8%, driven by fees from the Playa Hotels Acquisition, newly opened hotels, and strong performance in Asia Pacific, partially offset by lower fees in the Middle East and Mexico.
  • Franchise and other fees increased 3.1%, driven by Non-RevPAR Fee contributions, RevPAR growth in United States select-service properties, and newly opened hotels, partially offset by franchise fees recognized in 2025 from the eight Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara properties that were part of the Playa Hotels Acquisition.

• Owned and leased segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, after adjusting for 2025 asset sales.

• Distribution segment Adjusted EBITDA declined compared to the first quarter of 2025, due to temporary factors, including hotel closures in Jamaica related to Hurricane Melissa, lower demand in Mexico due to security concerns, and lower demand in four-star properties.Openings and DevelopmentDuring the first quarter, the Company:
  • Opened 3,966 rooms. Notable openings included:
    • Andaz Lisbon, strengthening Hyatt’s lifestyle brand presence in Europe;
    • Andaz Shanghai ITC, strengthening Hyatt’s luxury lifestyle brand presence in Greater China;
