NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (referred to in this report as “we,” “us,” “Marriott,” or the “Company”). In order to make this report easier to read, we also refer throughout to (1) our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as our “Financial Statements,” (2) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as our “Income Statements,” (3) our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as our “Balance Sheets,” (4) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as our “Statements of Cash Flows,” (5) our properties, brands, or markets in the United States and Canada as “U.S. & Canada,” and (6) our properties, brands, or markets in our Europe, Middle East & Africa, Greater China, Asia Pacific excluding China, and Caribbean & Latin America regions, as “International.” References throughout to numbered “Notes” refer to these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise stated. In addition, we use the term “hotel owners” throughout this report to refer, collectively, to owners of hotels and other lodging offerings operating in our system pursuant to management agreements, franchise agreements, license agreements or similar arrangements, and we use the term “hotels in our system” to refer to hotels and other lodging offerings operating in our system pursuant to such arrangements, as well as hotels that we own or lease. The terms “hotel owners” and “hotels in our system” exclude Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy**®** (which we also exclude from our property and room count), timeshare, residential, and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection**®**.
These Financial Statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Financial Statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”). Certain terms not otherwise defined in this Form 10-Q have the meanings specified in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Preparation of financial statements that conform with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. We have eliminated all material intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these Financial Statements.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06 - “Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (Topic 350). ASU 2025-06 eliminates references to software development project stages and revises the criteria that must be met to begin capitalizing internal-use software costs. The standard permits entities to adopt the guidance using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach and becomes effective for us beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on our financial statements and disclosures.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITION
In the 2025 second quarter, we announced that we reached an agreement with citizenM Holding BV and certain of its affiliates (the “seller”) to acquire the citizenM brand and related intellectual property for $355 million, and we completed the acquisition in the 2025 third quarter. In addition, we may pay earn-out payments to the seller up to $110 million, based on the future growth of the brand over a specified, multi-year timeframe. Earn-out payments would not begin until the fourth year following closing of the transaction. As of September 30, 2025, the citizenM portfolio included 37 open select-service hotels (8,789 rooms), which we expect to integrate into our system and platforms in the 2025 fourth quarter. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition and allocated the cost of the acquisition, including direct and incremental transaction costs, on a relative fair value basis, to an indefinite-lived brand asset of approximately $289 million and contract assets, with a weighted-average term of 20 years, totaling $60 million.
NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The table below illustrates the reconciliation of the earnings and number of shares used in our calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share, the latter of which uses the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of the Company’s potential common stock:

| Diluted earnings per share | $ | 2.67 | $ | 2.07 | $ | 7.84 | $ | 6.69 |
NOTE 4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We granted 0.7 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) during the 2025 first three quarters to certain officers and employees, and those units vest generally over four years in equal annual installments commencing one year after the grant date. We also granted 0.1 million performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) in the 2025 first three quarters to certain executives, which are earned subject to continued employment and the satisfaction of certain performance and market conditions based on the degree of achievement of pre-established targets for 2027 adjusted EBITDA performance and relative total stockholder return over the 2025 to 2027 performance period. RSUs, including PSUs, granted in the 2025 first three quarters had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $273 per unit.
We recorded stock-based compensation expense for RSUs and PSUs of $50 million in the 2025 third quarter, $54 million in the 2024 third quarter, $142 million in the 2025 first three quarters, and $148 million in the 2024 first three quarters. Deferred compensation costs for unvested awards for RSUs and PSUs totaled $219 million at September 30, 2025 and $173 million at December 31, 2024.
NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate increased to 26.8 percent for the 2025 third quarter compared to 25.7 percent for the 2024 third quarter, primarily due to a shift in earnings to jurisdictions with higher tax rates.
Our effective tax rate decreased to 23.3 percent for the 2025 first three quarters compared to 24.8 percent for the 2024 first three quarters, primarily due to the current year release of tax reserves, partially offset by a shift in earnings to jurisdictions with higher tax rates.
Our unrecognized tax benefit balance decreased by $65 million to $118 million at September 30, 2025 from $183 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to the lapse of the statute of limitations on certain tax positions. Our unrecognized tax benefit balance included $108 million at September 30, 2025 and $171 million at December 31, 2024 of tax positions that, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will reach resolution of income tax examinations in one or more jurisdictions. The actual amount of any change to our unrecognized tax benefits could vary depending on the timing and nature of the settlement. Therefore, an estimate of the change cannot be provided.
We paid cash for income taxes, net of refunds, of $792 million in the 2025 first three quarters and $729 million in the 2024 first three quarters.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
We present the maximum potential amount of our future guarantee fundings and the carrying amount of our liability for our debt service, operating profit, and other guarantees for which we are the primary obligor at September 30, 2025 in the following table:
| (in millions) Guarantee Type | Maximum Potential Amount of Future Fundings | Recorded Liability for Guarantees | ||||||||||||
| Debt service | $ | 62 | $ | 6 | ||||||||||
| Operating profit | 120 | 73 | ||||||||||||
| Other | 21 | 4 | ||||||||||||
| $ | 203 | $ | 83 |
Our maximum potential guarantees listed in the preceding table include $62 million of operating profit guarantees that will not be in effect until the underlying properties open and we begin to operate the properties or certain other events occur.
Starwood Data Security Incident
Description of Event
On November 30, 2018, we announced a data security incident involving unauthorized access to the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, LLC, formerly known as Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (“Starwood”), reservations database (the “Data Security Incident”). Working with leading security experts, we determined that there was unauthorized access to the Starwood network since 2014 and that an unauthorized party had copied information from the Starwood reservations database and taken steps towards removing it. We discontinued use of the Starwood reservations database for business operations at the end of 2018.
Litigation, Claims, and Government Investigations
Following our announcement of the Data Security Incident, approximately 100 lawsuits were filed by consumers and others against us in U.S. federal, U.S. state and Canadian courts related to the incident. The plaintiffs in the cases that remain pending, who generally purport to represent various classes of consumers, generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by the Company in connection with the Data Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief. The active U.S. cases are consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the “District Court”), pursuant to orders of the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the “MDL”). On June 3, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the District Court’s certification of a class of consumer plaintiffs, holding that a class-action waiver signed by putative class members was enforceable. We expect to engage in mediation with the consumer plaintiffs in the 2025 fourth quarter. The Canadian cases have effectively been consolidated into a single case in the province of Ontario. We dispute the allegations in these lawsuits and are vigorously defending against such claims.
In the 2025 third quarter, we reached a settlement in the case brought by the City of Chicago (which was consolidated in the MDL proceeding). The settlement amount is not material to our Financial Statements.
In addition, most inquiries and investigations by U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign governmental authorities have been resolved or no longer appear to be active.
While we believe it is reasonably possible that we may incur losses in excess of the amounts recorded associated with the above-described MDL proceedings or further regulatory investigations related to the Data Security Incident, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the amount of such losses or range of loss in excess of the amounts recorded that might result from adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other resolution of these proceedings and investigations based on: (1) in the case of the above-described MDL proceedings, the current stage of these proceedings, the absence of specificity as to alleged damages, the uncertainty as to the certification of a class or classes and the size of any certified class, and the lack of resolution of significant factual and legal issues, and (2) uncertainty regarding further regulatory inquiries or investigations.
Insurance Recoveries
During the 2025 third quarter, we recorded insurance recoveries for costs incurred related to the Data Security Incident, which are not material to our Financial Statements. We recognize insurance recoveries when they are probable of receipt and present them in our Income Statements in the same caption as the related expense, up to the amount of total expense incurred in prior and current periods. Insurance recoveries related to the Data Security Incident recorded in the 2025 third quarter are presented in the “Restructuring and merger-related (recoveries) charges, and other” caption of our Income Statements.
Other Legal Proceedings
We have been and are currently party to other legal proceedings involving claims that we infringe the intellectual property rights of others. At this time, we do not expect these proceedings to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 7. LONG-TERM DEBT
We provide detail on our long-term debt balances, net of discounts, premiums, and debt issuance costs, in the following table as of September 30, 2025 and year-end 2024:

We paid cash for interest, net of amounts capitalized, of $403 million in the 2025 first three quarters and $350 million in the 2024 first three quarters.
We are party to a $4.5 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). Available borrowings under the Credit Facility support our commercial paper program and general corporate needs. U.S. dollar borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at SOFR (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate) plus a spread based on our public debt rating. We also pay quarterly fees on the Credit Facility at a rate based on our public debt rating. We classify outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and outstanding commercial paper borrowings (which generally have short-term maturities of 45 days or less) as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the outstanding borrowings on a long-term basis. The Credit Facility expires on December 14, 2027.
In August 2025, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.200 percent Series TT Notes due July 15, 2027 (the “Series TT Notes”), $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500 percent Series UU Notes due October 15, 2031 (the “Series UU Notes”), and $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250 percent Series VV
Notes due October 15, 2035 (the “Series VV Notes”). We will pay interest on the Series TT Notes in January and July of each year, commencing in January 2026. We will pay interest on the Series UU Notes and Series VV Notes in April and October of each year, commencing in April 2026. In connection with the offering, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, which have the economic effect of converting $500 million of the Series VV Notes into floating rate debt with a variable interest rate of SOFR plus approximately 1.44 percent. Net proceeds from the offering of the Series TT Notes, Series UU Notes, and Series VV Notes were approximately $1.477 billion, after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses, and were made available for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases, or repayment of outstanding indebtedness.
In February 2025, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.100 percent Series RR Notes due April 15, 2032 (the “Series RR Notes”) and $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.500 percent Series SS Notes due April 15, 2037 (the “Series SS Notes”). We pay interest on the Series RR Notes and Series SS Notes in April and October of each year. In connection with the offering, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, which have the economic effect of converting $700 million of the Series SS Notes into floating rate debt with a variable interest rate of SOFR plus approximately 1.49 percent. Net proceeds from the offering of the Series RR Notes and Series SS Notes were approximately $1.960 billion, after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses, and were made available for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases, or repayment of outstanding indebtedness.

NOTE 10. CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Our current and noncurrent liability for guest loyalty program increased by $301 million, to $7,820 million at September 30, 2025, from $7,519 million at December 31, 2024, primarily reflecting points earned by members. The increase was partially offset by $2,589 million of revenue recognized in the 2025 first three quarters, that was deferred as of December 31, 2024.
Our allowance for credit losses was $221 million at September 30, 2025 and $199 million at December 31, 2024.
NOTE 11. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We discuss our operations in the following four reportable business segments: (1) U.S. & Canada, (2) Europe, Middle East & Africa (“EMEA”), (3) Greater China, and (4) Asia Pacific excluding China (“APEC”). Our Caribbean & Latin America (“CALA”) operating segment does not meet the applicable accounting criteria for separate disclosure as a reportable business segment, and as such, we include its results in “Unallocated corporate and other.”
Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our “chief operating decision maker” (“CODM”), evaluates the performance of our operating segments using “segment profits,” which is based largely on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, income taxes, indirect general, administrative, and other expenses, or restructuring and merger-related recoveries/charges, and other expenses. We assign gains and losses, equity in earnings or losses, and direct general, administrative, and other expenses to each of our segments. “Unallocated corporate and other” includes a portion of our revenues (such as fees we receive from our credit card programs and timeshare licensing agreements), revenues and expenses for our Loyalty Program, general, administrative, and other expenses, restructuring and merger-related recoveries/charges, and other expenses, equity in earnings or losses, and other gains or losses that we do not allocate to our segments, as well as results of our CALA operating segment.
Our CODM uses segment profits to allocate resources (including employees and investment spending) to each segment, primarily as part of the annual budget process. Our CODM reviews budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis to assess segment performance. Additionally, our CODM uses segment profits to compare the results of each segment with one another and in the determination of compensation for segment leadership.
Our CODM monitors assets for the consolidated Company but does not use assets by operating segment when assessing performance or making operating segment resource allocations.
Segment Revenues, Expenses, and Profits
The following tables present our revenues (disaggregated by segment and major revenue stream), segment expenses, and segment profits for the 2025 third quarter, 2024 third quarter, 2025 first three quarters, and 2024 first three quarters:
