Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V.
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”), through its subsidiaries, 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 24 resorts located in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in our condensed consolidated financial statements (our “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) to “we,” “our,” “us” and similar expressions refer to Playa and its subsidiaries.
Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 22, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
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 the comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. 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
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. Changes in the fair value of a derivative contract that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in total other comprehensive income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and reclassified into earnings in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction occurs. If a derivative contract does not meet these criteria, then the total change in fair value is recognized in earnings. Cash flows from a derivative financial instrument that is classified as a cash flow hedge are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 other than trade and other receivables 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 as advance deposits (see Note 14) within trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our advanced deposits are generally recognized as revenue within one year.

Depreciation expense for property and equipment was $17.7 million and $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we capitalized $0.3 million of interest expense on qualifying assets using the weighted-average interest rate of our debt. We did not capitalize any interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Hurricane Fiona
We received business interruption proceeds of $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to the impact of Hurricane Fiona in September 2022. We received an additional $1.2 million of business interruption insurance proceeds in April and May 2024 and expect to receive the remaining proceeds in 2024.
Lessor contracts
We rent certain real estate to third parties for office and retail space within our resorts. Our lessor contracts are considered operating leases and generally have a contractual term of one to three years. The following table presents our rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 ($ in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31,
Leases20242023
Operating lease income (1)
$1,186 $950 
________
(1) Our operating lease income, which is recorded within non-package revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, includes variable lease revenue which is typically calculated as a percentage of our tenant’s net sales.
Note 5. Income taxes
We file tax returns for our entities in key jurisdictions including Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, the United States, and the Netherlands. We are domiciled in the Netherlands and our Dutch subsidiaries are subject to a Dutch general tax rate of 25.8%. Our other operating subsidiaries are subject to tax rates of up to 30% in the jurisdictions in which they are domiciled.
The Netherlands enacted the Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 in December 2023. The Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 implements measures to ensure that large multinational groups of companies pay a minimum corporate tax rate of 15% in accordance with the European Union's Pillar 2 Directive. As we are incorporated in the Netherlands, we were subject to certain provisions of the Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 beginning January 1, 2024. The adoption of the Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 resulted in $12.0 million of additional income tax expense incurred in the Netherlands for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which increased our effective tax rate (“ETR”) by 18.2%. As a result, our ETR was 18.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 10.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
9

An Advance Pricing Agreement (“APA”) for Playa Dominican Resort B.V. was approved in March 2024 and is effective January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025. We are in the process of finalizing new APAs for Playa Cana B.V. and Playa Romana Mar B.V., which expired as of December 31, 2021. We expect the APAs to be completed before the end of 2024, as the APA terms for the general hotel association have already been approved. Our estimated annual effective tax rate calculation reflects the terms of the APAs that are expected to apply for the year ending December 31, 2024.
We had no uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2024. We expect no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.
We regularly assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets by evaluating historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in permitted carry back years, and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of March 31, 2024, a valuation allowance has been maintained as a reserve on a portion of our net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization of our loss carry forwards and other deferred tax assets. If our operating results continue to improve and our projections show continued utilization of tax attributes, we may consider that as significant positive evidence and our future reassessment may result in the determination that all or a portion of the valuation allowance is no longer required. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance releases are ultimately contingent upon the level of profitability achieved in future periods.
Note 6. Related party transactions
Relationship with Hyatt
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”) is considered a related party due to its ownership of our ordinary shares by its affiliated entities. We pay Hyatt fees associated with the franchise agreements of our resorts operating under the all-ages Hyatt Ziva and adults-only Hyatt Zilara brands and receive reimbursements for guests that pay for their stay using the World of Hyatt® guest loyalty program. Hyatt also owns Apple Leisure Group (“ALG”), the brand management platform AMResorts, and various tour operators and travel agencies.
Relationship with Sagicor
Sagicor Financial Corporation Limited and its affiliated entities (collectively “Sagicor”) is considered a related party due to its ownership of our ordinary shares and representation on our Board of Directors (our “Board”). We pay Sagicor for employee insurance coverage at one of our Jamaica properties. Sagicor is also a part owner of the Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa and compensates us as manager of the property.
Lease with our Chief Executive Officer
One of our offices is owned by our Chief Executive Officer and we sublease the space at that location from a third party.
Transactions with related parties

Note 7. Commitments and contingencies
We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, and workers’ compensation and other employee claims. 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. With the exception of Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V., our Dutch companies file as a fiscal unity. 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.
Note 8. Ordinary shares
Our Board previously authorized a $200.0 million share repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase our outstanding ordinary shares as market conditions and our liquidity warrant. The repurchase program is subject to certain limitations under Dutch law, including the existing repurchase authorization granted by our shareholders. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means (including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans). Depending on market conditions and other factors, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 3,621,127 ordinary shares under the program at an average price of $8.98 per share. As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $163.9 million remaining under the $200.0 million share repurchase program.
As of March 31, 2024, our ordinary share capital consisted of 135,040,042 ordinary shares outstanding, which have a par value of €0.10 per share. In addition, 5,075,907 restricted shares and performance share awards and 36,272 restricted share units were outstanding under the 2017 Plan (as defined in Note 9). The holders of restricted shares and performance share awards are entitled to vote, but not to dispose of, such shares until they vest. The holders of restricted share units are neither entitled to vote nor dispose of such shares until they vest.
Note 9. Share-based compensation
We adopted our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) to attract and retain independent directors, executive officers and other key employees. As of March 31, 2024, there were 10,054,397 shares available for future grants under the 2017 Plan.
Restricted share awards consist of restricted shares and restricted share units that are granted to eligible employees, executives, and board members and consist of ordinary shares (or the right to receive ordinary shares).
A summary of our restricted share awards from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 is as follows:
Number of SharesWeighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 20242,733,532 $6.84

Forfeited(19,156)7.25 
Unvested balance at March 31, 20242,753,248 $7.59 
Performance share awards consist of ordinary shares that may become earned and vested at the end of a three-year performance period based on the achievement of performance targets adopted by our Compensation Committee. Our performance shares have market conditions where either 25% or 50% of the performance share awards will vest based on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of our ordinary shares relative to those of our peer group and either 50% or 75% will vest based on the compound annual growth rate of the price of our ordinary shares. The peer shareholder return component may vest between 0% and 200% of target, with the award capped at 100% of target should Playa’s TSR be negative.

Derivative financial instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of each instrument. We incorporate these counterparty credit risks in our fair value measurements (see Note 13) and believe we minimize this credit risk by transacting with major creditworthy financial institutions.
Note 13. Fair value of financial instruments
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.
14

We believe the carrying value of our financial instruments, excluding our debt, approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We did not have any Level 3 instruments during any of the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following tables present our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 ($ in thousands):

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and our financial instruments not measured at fair value:
Valuation Technique
Financial instruments recorded at fair value
Foreign currency forwardsThe fair value of the foreign currency forwards is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the forward contract, the maturity date of the contract, and observable inputs including spot rates, forward rates, and interest rate curves (including discount factors). The fair value also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk. The fair value is largely dependent on prevailing foreign currency forward rates as of the measurement date and maturing on the maturity dates of any existing forwards. If, in subsequent periods, any prevailing foreign currency forward rate differs from the corresponding contracted foreign currency rate, we will recognize a gain or loss.
Interest rate swapsThe 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. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is largely dependent on forecasted SOFR as of the measurement date. If, in subsequent periods, forecasted SOFR exceeds the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps, we will recognize a gain and future cash inflows. Conversely, if forecasted SOFR falls below the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps in subsequent periods, we will recognize a loss and future cash outflows.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value
Term Loan due 2029The fair value of our Term Loan due 2029 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 FacilityThe valuation technique of our Revolving Credit Facility is consistent with our Term Loan due 2029. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility generally approximates its carrying value as the expected term is significantly shorter in duration.

Note 15. Business segments
We consider each one of our owned 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 reportable segments by geography: (i) Yucatán Peninsula, (ii) Pacific Coast, (iii) Dominican Republic and (iv) Jamaica.
Our operating segments are components of the business that 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we have excluded the immaterial amounts of management fees, cost reimbursements, The Playa Collection revenues and other from our segment reporting.
The performance of our business is evaluated primarily on adjusted earnings before interest expense, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and the performance of our segments is evaluated on Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expenses, The Playa Collection revenue and management fees (“Owned Resort EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the periods presented, before interest expense, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted to exclude the following items: (a) (gain) loss on sale of assets; (b) other (expense) income; (c) repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms; (d) share-based compensation; and (e) transaction expenses. Adjusted EBITDA includes corporate expenses, which are overhead costs that are essential to support the operation of the Company, including the operations and development of our resorts.
There are limitations to using financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort 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.

Total Revenue and Total Net Revenue

Our Total Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $26.8 million, or 9.8%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 and our Total Net Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $26.3 million, or 9.9%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increases were due to the following:
an increase in Occupancy of 14.3 percentage points as a result of low occupancy levels at Jewel Punta Cana and the temporary closure of Jewel Palm Beach for the majority of the three months ended March 31, 2023, as management of the resort transitioned to Playa from a third-party;
Excluding Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach, Occupancy increased 2.6 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
an increase in Net Package ADR of 0.1%;
Excluding Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach, Net Package ADR increased 4.4%.
an increase in Net Non-package Revenue of $0.5 million, or 1.5%.
Excluding Jewel Punta Cana, which was sold in December 2023, and Jewel Palm Beach, Net Non-package Revenue increased $0.1 million, or 0.2%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $15.0 million, or 15.2%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Excluding Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach, Adjusted EBITDA increased $8.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by $4.8 million due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, inclusive of the impact of our foreign currency forward contracts (refer to discussion of our derivative financial instruments in Note 12), and by increased insurance premiums and labor and related expenses compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was also positively impacted by a $0.4 million benefit from business interruption insurance related to the disruption caused by Hurricane Fiona in our Dominican Republic segment in the second half of 2022.
Our Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased 1.8 percentage points, or 4.8%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Excluding Jewel Punta Cana and Jewel Palm Beach, Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 0.2 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was negatively impacted by 160 basis points due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, which was partially offset by a positive impact of 10 basis points from business interruption proceeds and recoverable expenses related to Hurricane Fiona compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Excluding these impacts, our Adjusted EBITDA Margin would have been 40.6%, an increase of 3.3 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Net Direct Expenses$130,745 $122,928 $7,817 6.4 %
Our direct expenses include resort expenses, such as food and beverage, salaries and wages, utilities and other ongoing operational expenses. Direct operating expenses fluctuate based on various factors, including changes in Occupancy, labor costs, utilities, repair and maintenance costs and licenses and property taxes. Management fees and franchise fees, which are computed as a percentage of revenue, increase or decrease as a result of changes in revenues.
Our Net Direct Expenses were $130.7 million, or 45.0% of Total Net Revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $122.9 million, or 46.5% of Total Net Revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net Direct Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $7.8 million, or 6.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to the following:
appreciation of the Mexican Peso compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, which impacts the majority of our expenses but primarily increased labor and food and beverage expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2024; and
increased labor and related expenses as a result of union-negotiated and government-mandated wage and benefit increases compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $6.1 million, or 13.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.7 million increase in insurance expense due to higher insurance premiums and a $1.2 million increase in property selling, general and administrative expenses. We also experienced an increase in share-based compensation expense of $0.6 million due to an increase in the number of restricted and performance share awards granted in 2024, a $0.5 million increase in travel and tour operator commissions expense corresponding with higher occupancies, a $0.4 million increase in the provision for doubtful accounts, a $0.3 million increase in professional fees and a $0.3 million increase in corporate selling, general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Our depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $0.5 million, or 2.7%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to the sale of Jewel Punta Cana in December 2023.
Gain on Insurance Proceeds
Our gain on insurance proceeds for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $0.4 million, or 100.0%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of business interruption insurance proceeds received in 2024 related to the temporary closure of two of our resorts in the Dominican Republic due to Hurricane Fiona in the second half of 2022. We had no gain on insurance proceeds during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Interest Expense
Our interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $6.5 million, or 22.0%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in interest expense was driven primarily by a $6.3 million decrease related to a favorable change in fair value of our prior LIBOR-based interest rate swaps recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase from our $1.1 billion term loan issued in the December 2022 debt refinancing (the “Term Loan due 2029”), which incurs interest based on SOFR plus a margin of 3.25%. Additionally, our SOFR-based interest rate swaps effective in April 2023 meet the criteria for hedge accounting and therefore, changes in fair value are recognized through other comprehensive income.
Cash interest paid was $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a $0.1 million, or 0.5% decrease as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
29

Income Tax Provision
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our income tax provision was $12.0 million, compared to a $4.8 million income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $7.2 million was primarily driven by a $10.8 million increased tax provision associated with higher pre-tax book income from our taxpaying entities. This includes a $12.0 million increased tax provision for tax expense incurred in the Netherlands under the Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 and a $1.3 million decreased tax expense at Mexico and Jamaica entities related to lower pre-tax book income. The increases are partially offset by a $2.4 million decreased tax expense related to favorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily at our Mexico entities, a $1.3 million tax benefit recorded for the finalization of the capital gains tax due on the 2023 Jewel Punta Cana sale, and $0.3 million decreased tax expense associated with 2023 tax true-ups recorded for our Dominican Republic entities based on the expected APA tax rates.
A majority of the expected impact of the Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 for the year ended December 31, 2024 was recognized through our income tax provision during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
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, Owned Net Revenue, Management Fee Revenue, Cost Reimbursements, Total Net Revenue and Net Direct Expenses
“Net Package Revenue” is derived from the sale of all-inclusive packages, which include room accommodations and premium room upgrades, food and beverage services, and entertainment activities, net of compulsory tips paid to employees. 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” includes revenue associated with premium services and amenities that are not included in net package revenue, such as dining experiences, wines and spirits, and spa packages, net of compulsory tips paid to employees.
30

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 is recognized after the completion of the sale when the product or service is transferred to the customer. Food and beverage revenue not included in a guest's all-inclusive package is recognized when the goods are consumed.
“Owned Net Revenue” represents Net Package Revenue and Net Non-Package Revenue. Owned 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 Owned 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 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 resorts 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 a minor contributor to our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, but we expect Management Fee Revenue to be a more relevant indicator to assess the overall performance of our business in the future to the extent we are successful in entering into more management contracts.
“Total Net Revenue” represents Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue, Management Fee Revenue, The Playa Collection revenue and certain Other revenues. “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 costs and has no net impact on operating income or net income. Contract termination fees, which are recorded as Other Revenues, are also excluded from Total Net Revenue as they are not an indicator of the performance of our ongoing business.
“Net Direct Expenses” represents direct expenses, net of compulsory tips paid to employees.
Occupancy
“Occupancy” represents the total number of rooms sold for a period divided by the total number of rooms available during such period. The total number of rooms available excludes any rooms considered “Out of Order” due to renovation or a temporary problem rendering them inadequate for occupancy for an extended period of time. 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 during a given period. Occupancy levels also enable us to optimize Net Package ADR (as defined below) 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 Net Non-package Revenue. Although Net Package RevPAR does not include this additional revenue, it generally is considered the key performance statistic 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.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Owned Resort EBITDA, and Owned Resort 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. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) include corporate expenses, which are overhead costs that are essential to support the operation of the Company, including the operations and development of our resorts. We define Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude the following items:
Other miscellaneous non-operating income or expense
31

Pre-opening expense
Losses or gains on sales of assets
Share-based compensation
Other tax expense
Transaction expenses
Severance expense for employee terminations resulting from non-recurring or unusual events, such as the departure of an executive officer or the disposition of a resort
Gains from property damage insurance proceeds (i.e., property damage insurance proceeds in excess of repair and clean up costs incurred)
Repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms (i.e., significant repair and clean up costs incurred which are not offset by property damage insurance proceeds)
Loss on extinguishment of debt
Other items which may include, but are not limited to the following: contract termination fees; gains or losses from legal settlements; and impairment losses.

We include the non-service cost components of net periodic pension cost or benefit recorded within other income or expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA as they are considered part of our ongoing resort operations.
“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Net Revenue.
“Owned Resort EBITDA” represents Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expenses, The Playa Collection revenue and Management Fee Revenue.
“Owned Resort EBITDA Margin” represents Owned Resort EBITDA as a percentage of Owned Net Revenue.
Usefulness and Limitation of Non-U.S. GAAP Measures
We believe that each of Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue, Owned Net Revenue, Total Net Revenue, Net Package ADR, Net Package RevPAR, and Net Direct Expenses are all useful to investors as they more accurately reflect our operating results by excluding compulsory tips. These tips have a margin of zero and do not represent our operating results.
We also 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 income or expense), 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. We believe Adjusted EBITDA Margin provides our investors a useful measurement of operating profitability for the same reasons we find Adjusted EBITDA useful.
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 a portion of the annual variable compensation for certain members of our management, including our executive officers, 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.
We believe that Owned Resort EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA Margin are useful to investors as they allow investors to measure resort-level performance and profitability by excluding expenses not directly tied to our resorts, such as corporate expenses, and excluding ancillary revenues not derived from our resorts, such as management fee revenue. We believe Owned Resort EBITDA
32

is also helpful to investors that use it in estimating the value of our resort portfolio. Management uses these measures to monitor property-level performance and profitability.
Our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for revenue, net income 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, our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures 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, Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA to net income as computed under U.S. GAAP, see “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures.”
Comparable Non-U.S. GAAP Measures
We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Owned Resort EBITDA, Total Net Revenue, Net Package Revenue, Net Non-package Revenue and Net Direct Expenses 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 Owned Resort 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.
Our comparable portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 excludes Jewel Palm Beach, which was closed for a majority of the first quarter of 2023 as we transitioned management of the resort to us from a third-party, and Jewel Punta Cana, which was sold in December 2023.
A reconciliation of net income as computed under U.S. GAAP to Comparable Adjusted EBITDA is presented in “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures,” below. For a reconciliation of Comparable Net Package Revenue, Comparable Net Non-package Revenue, and Comparable Total Net Revenue to total revenue as computed under U.S. GAAP, see “Results of Operations.”

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $7.2 million, or 8.2%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 and was driven by:
an increase in Occupancy of 3.2 percentage points;
an increase in Net Package ADR of 2.8%; and
an increase in Net Non-package Revenue of $1.1 million, or 11.3%.
Net Non-package Revenue per sold room increased 6.1%, primarily driven by a higher meetings, incentives, conventions and events (“MICE”) group contribution to our guest mix.
Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $2.1 million, or 5.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 and was driven by:
an increase in Net Package ADR compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 which allowed us to leverage a majority of our direct expenses, partially offset by
an unfavorable impact of $3.3 million due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, inclusive of the impact of our foreign currency forward contracts (refer to discussion of our derivative financial instruments in Note 12);
an increase in labor and related expenses, which were partially due to union-negotiated and government-mandated wage benefit increases; and
an increase in insurance premiums.
Our Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 41.7%, a decrease of 1.0 percentage point compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Owned Resort EBITDA Margin was negatively impacted by 340 basis points due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso and by 30 basis points from increases in labor and related expenses, which were partially due to union-negotiated and government-mandated wage and benefit increases compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Excluding the impact from the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 would have been 45.1%, an increase of 2.4 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $1.6 million, or 9.2%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 and was driven by:
an increase in Occupancy and Net Non-package Revenue; partially offset by
an unfavorable impact of $1.5 million due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, inclusive of the impact of our foreign currency forward contracts (refer to discussion of our derivative financial instruments in Note 12);
an increase in labor and related expenses, which were partially due to union-negotiated and government-mandated wage and benefit increases; and
an increase in insurance premiums.
Our Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 43.2%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Owned Resort EBITDA Margin was negatively impacted by 330 basis points due to the appreciation of the Mexican Peso and by 90 basis points from increases in labor and related expenses, which were partially due to union-negotiated and government-mandated wage and benefit increases compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our comparable portfolio excludes Jewel Palm Beach, which was closed for a majority of the first quarter of 2023 as we transitioned management of the resort to us from a third-party, and Jewel Punta Cana, which was sold in December 2023.
Segment Comparable Owned Net Revenue. Our Comparable Owned Net Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $7.6 million, or 11.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was due to the following:
an increase in Occupancy of 1.0 percentage point; and
an increase in Comparable Net Package ADR of 10.9%; partially offset by
a decrease in Comparable Net Non-package Revenue of $0.2 million, or 2.1%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Comparable Net Non-package Revenue per sold room decreased 4.4% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 driven by a lower MICE group contribution to our guest mix.
Segment Comparable Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Comparable Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $4.8 million, or 14.9%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, and includes a $0.4 million benefit from business interruption insurance proceeds and recoverable expense related to Hurricane Fiona in the Dominican Republic during the second half of 2022. The benefit was partially offset by increased insurance premiums compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Our Comparable Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 49.7%, an increase of 1.4 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, and includes a favorable impact of 50 basis points from business interruption proceeds and recoverable expenses related to Hurricane Fiona. Excluding the aforementioned

Segment Owned Net Revenue. Our Owned Net Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $1.7 million, or 2.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was due to the following:
an increase in Occupancy of 0.6 percentage points;
an increase in Net Package ADR of 4.8%; partially offset by
a decrease in Net Non-package Revenue of $1.9 million, or 19.7%.
Net Non-package Revenue per sold room decreased 21.2% as a result of a lower MICE group contribution to our guest mix.
Segment Owned Resort EBITDA. Our Owned Resort EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was flat compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Our Owned Resort EBITDA Margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased 1.1 percentage points, or 2.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 driven by a decrease in Net Non-package Revenue and a negative impact of 160 basis points due to increases in labor and related expenses, which were partially due to union-negotiated and government-mandated wage and benefit increases compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

(e)    Our comparable portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 excludes Jewel Palm Beach, which was closed for a majority of the first quarter of 2023 as we transitioned management of the resort to us from a third-party, and Jewel Punta Cana, which was sold in December 2023.
Inflation
We have experienced an elevated level of inflationary pressure on our direct resort expenses since the beginning of 2022. Inflation effects were experienced mostly through higher labor costs, food and beverage prices, and utility costs. Although we have experienced some improvement, we expect that inflationary pressures may remain elevated through 2024, but could continue for longer. While we, like most operators of lodging properties, have the ability to adjust room rates to reflect the effects of inflation, competitive pricing pressures may limit our ability to raise room rates to fully offset inflationary cost increases.
Seasonality
The seasonality of the lodging industry and the location of our resorts in Mexico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic have historically resulted in the greatest demand for our resorts occurring 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.
39

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $56.8 million. We believe that our sources of cash, which consist of available cash and cash from operations, together with the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility and our access to the capital markets, will be adequate to meet our cash requirements, including our contractual obligations, over the next twelve months and beyond.
Sources of Cash
As of March 31, 2024, we had $285.3 million of available cash, as compared to $272.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Our primary short-term cash needs are paying operating expenses, maintaining our resorts, and servicing our outstanding indebtedness. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through our existing cash balances, net cash provided by operations, equity issuances or short-term borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Further, we had no restricted cash balance as of March 31, 2024. As of April 30, 2024, we had approximately $275.4 million of available cash and also had $225.0 million available on our Revolving Credit Facility, which does not mature until January 2028.
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements generally through the sources of cash available for short-term needs, net cash provided by operations, as well as equity or debt issuances or proceeds from the potential disposal of assets.
Cash Requirements
Our expected material cash requirements for the remainder of 2024 and thereafter consist of (i) contractually obligated expenditures, including payments of principal and interest; (ii) other essential expenditures, including operating expenses and maintenance of our resorts; and (iii) opportunistic expenditures, including possible property developments, expansions, renovations, repositioning and rebranding projects, potential acquisitions, the repayment of indebtedness and discretionary repurchases of our securities.
As of March 31, 2024, there have been no significant changes to our “Contractual Obligations” table in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we had $73.9 million of scheduled contractual obligations remaining in 2024 which we expect to pay with available cash. In addition, we estimate that we will incur between $110.0 million and $120.0 million of capital expenditures for 2024, which reflects the acceleration of renovations at the Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos.
We are continuing to monitor our liquidity and we may pursue additional sources of liquidity as 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. If operating conditions decline or are materially adversely impacted, we may not be able to maintain our current liquidity position or access additional sources of liquidity at acceptable terms or at all.

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.

Recent Transactions Affecting Our Liquidity and Capital Resources
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 ($ in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31,
20242023
Net cash provided by operating activities$56,777 $45,287 
Net cash used in investing activities$(10,446)$(2,352)
Net cash used in financing activities$(33,509)$(45,415)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$12,822 $(2,480)
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our net cash from operating activities is generated primarily from operating income of our resorts. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our net cash provided by operating activities was $56.8 million compared to $45.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities was $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024:
Purchases of property and equipment of $10.0 million, consisting of maintenance capital expenditures as well as renovation costs of the Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta and Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos; and
Payment of $0.5 million in key money to the owner of one of our managed resorts.
Activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023:
Purchases of property and equipment of $10.3 million, primarily for maintenance related expenditures; and
Property damage insurance proceeds related to the impacts of Hurricane Fiona in the Dominican Republic of $8.0 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 (i.e., 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. 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 resorts in our markets.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Our net cash used in financing activities was $33.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $45.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024:
Principal payments on our Term Loan due 2029 of $2.8 million; and
Repurchases of ordinary shares of $30.5 million.
Activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023:
Principal payments on our Term Loan due 2029 of $2.8 million; and

Repurchases of ordinary shares of $42.6 million.
Critical Accounting 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 involve a higher degree of judgement and estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We believe our estimates, assumptions and judgments with respect to our such policies are reasonable based upon information presently available. However, 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 Consolidated Financial Statements included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024. 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, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts receivable from related parties, certain prepayments and other assets, trade and other payables, payables to related parties, derivative financial instruments, other liabilities, including our pension obligation, and debt (excluding the financing lease obligation). See Note 13, “Fair value of financial instruments,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

See Note 6, “Related party transactions,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on these transactions.

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 two interest rate swaps (see Note 12 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) to manage our exposure to this risk. As of March 31, 2024, 51% of our outstanding indebtedness bore interest at floating rates, as our Term Loan due 2029 incurs interest based on SOFR plus a margin of 3.25%.
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 $5.5 million annually, assuming the balance outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility remained at $0 million.
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 $5.5 million annually, assuming the balance outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility remained at $0 million.
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 three months ended March 31, 2024 less than 1% 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 are affected by movements in exchange rates.
Approximately 71.5% of our resort-level operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were denominated in the local currencies in the countries in which we operate. During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge 50% of our estimated operating expenses that are denominated in Mexican Pesos. However, our operating expenses reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations continue to be affected by movements in exchange rates, including 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 March 31, 2024 would have impacted our Owned Resort EBITDA by approximately $1.6 million on a year-to-date basis, inclusive of the impact from our foreign currency forward contracts.
The effect of an immediate 5% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Dominican Peso-denominated expenses at March 31, 2024 would have impacted our Owned Resort EBITDA by approximately $1.6 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 March 31, 2024 would have impacted our Owned Resort EBITDA by approximately $1.4 million on a year-to-date basis.

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 evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective.

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 most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
44

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to claims and administrative proceedings, none of which we believe are material or would be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. The outcome of claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings brought against us, however, is subject to significant uncertainties. Refer to Note 7 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q for a more detailed description of such proceedings and contingencies.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Organization, operations and basis of presentation Organization, operations and basis of presentation
Background
Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. (“Playa” or the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, 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 24 resorts located in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in our condensed consolidated financial statements (our “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) to “we,” “our,” “us” and similar expressions refer to Playa and its subsidiaries.
Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 22, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
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 the comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. 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 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. Changes in the fair value of a derivative contract that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in total other comprehensive income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and reclassified into earnings in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction occurs. If a derivative contract does not meet these criteria, then the total change in fair value is recognized in earnings. Cash flows from a derivative financial instrument that is classified as a cash flow hedge are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Contract assets and liabilities

We do not have any material contract assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 other than trade and other receivables 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 as advance deposits (see Note 14) within trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our advanced deposits are generally recognized as revenue within one year.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income taxes Income taxes
We file tax returns for our entities in key jurisdictions including Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, the United States, and the Netherlands. We are domiciled in the Netherlands and our Dutch subsidiaries are subject to a Dutch general tax rate of 25.8%. Our other operating subsidiaries are subject to tax rates of up to 30% in the jurisdictions in which they are domiciled.
The Netherlands enacted the Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 in December 2023. The Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 implements measures to ensure that large multinational groups of companies pay a minimum corporate tax rate of 15% in accordance with the European Union's Pillar 2 Directive. As we are incorporated in the Netherlands, we were subject to certain provisions of the Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 beginning January 1, 2024. The adoption of the Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 resulted in $12.0 million of additional income tax expense incurred in the Netherlands for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which increased our effective tax rate (“ETR”) by 18.2%. As a result, our ETR was 18.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 10.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
An Advance Pricing Agreement (“APA”) for Playa Dominican Resort B.V. was approved in March 2024 and is effective January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025. We are in the process of finalizing new APAs for Playa Cana B.V. and Playa Romana Mar B.V., which expired as of December 31, 2021. We expect the APAs to be completed before the end of 2024, as the APA terms for the general hotel association have already been approved. Our estimated annual effective tax rate calculation reflects the terms of the APAs that are expected to apply for the year ending December 31, 2024.
We had no uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2024. We expect no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.
We regularly assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets by evaluating historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in permitted carry back years, and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of March 31, 2024, a valuation allowance has been maintained as a reserve on a portion of our net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization of our loss carry forwards and other deferred tax assets. If our operating results continue to improve and our projections show continued utilization of tax attributes, we may consider that as significant positive evidence and our future reassessment may result in the determination that all or a portion of the valuation allowance is no longer required. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance releases are ultimately contingent upon the level of profitability achieved in future periods.

Relationship with Hyatt
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”) is considered a related party due to its ownership of our ordinary shares by its affiliated entities.

Commitments and contingencies Commitments and contingencies
We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings involving tort and other general liability claims, and workers’ compensation and other employee claims. 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. With the exception of Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V., our Dutch companies file as a fiscal unity. 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.

Our Board previously authorized a $200.0 million share repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase our outstanding ordinary shares as market conditions and our liquidity warrant. The repurchase program is subject to certain limitations under Dutch law, including the existing repurchase authorization granted by our shareholders. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means (including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans). Depending on market conditions and other factors, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 3,621,127 ordinary shares under the program at an average price of $8.98 per share. As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $163.9 million remaining under the $200.0 million share repurchase program.
As of March 31, 2024, our ordinary share capital consisted of 135,040,042 ordinary shares outstanding, which have a par value of €0.10 per share. In addition, 5,075,907 restricted shares and performance share awards and 36,272 restricted share units were outstanding under the 2017 Plan (as defined in Note 9). The holders of restricted shares and performance share awards are entitled to vote, but not to dispose of, such shares until they vest. The holders of restricted share units are neither entitled to vote nor dispose of such shares until they vest.

Restricted share awards consist of restricted shares and restricted share units that are granted to eligible employees, executives, and board members and consist of ordinary shares (or the right to receive ordinary shares).

Performance share awards consist of ordinary shares that may become earned and vested at the end of a three-year performance period based on the achievement of performance targets adopted by our Compensation Committee. Our performance shares have market conditions where either 25% or 50% of the performance share awards will vest based on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of our ordinary shares relative to those of our peer group and either 50% or 75% will vest based on the compound annual growth rate of the price of our ordinary shares. The peer shareholder return component may vest between 0% and 200% of target, with the award capped at 100% of target should Playa’s TSR be negative. The growth rate component may vest up to 100% of target.

Foreign currency forward contracts

We have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange fluctuations on certain direct expenses, such as salaries and wages and food and beverage costs, which are denominated in Mexican Pesos. As of March 31, 2024, the total outstanding notional amount of the forward contracts was $78.7 million, or $1.4 billion Mexican Pesos, which will be settled monthly with maturity dates between April 2024 and December 2024.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair value of financial instruments Fair value of financial instruments
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 believe the carrying value of our financial instruments, excluding our debt, approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We did not have any Level 3 instruments during any of the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following tables present our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 ($ in thousands):

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and our financial instruments not measured at fair value:
Valuation Technique
Financial instruments recorded at fair value
Foreign currency forwardsThe fair value of the foreign currency forwards is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the forward contract, the maturity date of the contract, and observable inputs including spot rates, forward rates, and interest rate curves (including discount factors). The fair value also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk. The fair value is largely dependent on prevailing foreign currency forward rates as of the measurement date and maturing on the maturity dates of any existing forwards. If, in subsequent periods, any prevailing foreign currency forward rate differs from the corresponding contracted foreign currency rate, we will recognize a gain or loss.
Interest rate swapsThe 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. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is largely dependent on forecasted SOFR as of the measurement date. If, in subsequent periods, forecasted SOFR exceeds the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps, we will recognize a gain and future cash inflows. Conversely, if forecasted SOFR falls below the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps in subsequent periods, we will recognize a loss and future cash outflows.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value
Term Loan due 2029The fair value of our Term Loan due 2029 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 FacilityThe valuation technique of our Revolving Credit Facility is consistent with our Term Loan due 2029. 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]  
Business segments Business segments
We consider each one of our owned 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 reportable segments by geography: (i) Yucatán Peninsula, (ii) Pacific Coast, (iii) Dominican Republic and (iv) Jamaica.
Our operating segments are components of the business that 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we have excluded the immaterial amounts of management fees, cost reimbursements, The Playa Collection revenues and other from our segment reporting.
The performance of our business is evaluated primarily on adjusted earnings before interest expense, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and the performance of our segments is evaluated on Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expenses, The Playa Collection revenue and management fees (“Owned Resort EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the periods presented, before interest expense, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted to exclude the following items: (a) (gain) loss on sale of assets; (b) other (expense) income; (c) repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms; (d) share-based compensation; and (e) transaction expenses. Adjusted EBITDA includes corporate expenses, which are overhead costs that are essential to support the operation of the Company, including the operations and development of our resorts.
There are limitations to using financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort 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 table presents segment Owned Net Revenue, defined as total revenue less compulsory tips paid to employees, cost reimbursements, management fees, The Playa Collection revenue, and other miscellaneous revenue not derived from segment operations, and a reconciliation to total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 ($ in thousands):

Basis of preparation, presentation and measurement
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 22, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
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 the comparative prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. 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
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. Changes in the fair value of a derivative contract that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in total other comprehensive income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and reclassified into earnings in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction occurs. If a derivative contract does not meet these criteria, then the total change in fair value is recognized in earnings. Cash flows from a derivative financial instrument that is classified as a cash flow hedge are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

We do not have any material contract assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 other than trade and other receivables 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 as advance deposits (see Note 14) within trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our advanced deposits are generally recognized as revenue within one year.

Summary of Valuation Techniques
The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and our financial instruments not measured at fair value:
Valuation Technique
Financial instruments recorded at fair value
Foreign currency forwardsThe fair value of the foreign currency forwards is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the forward contract, the maturity date of the contract, and observable inputs including spot rates, forward rates, and interest rate curves (including discount factors). The fair value also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk. The fair value is largely dependent on prevailing foreign currency forward rates as of the measurement date and maturing on the maturity dates of any existing forwards. If, in subsequent periods, any prevailing foreign currency forward rate differs from the corresponding contracted foreign currency rate, we will recognize a gain or loss.
Interest rate swapsThe 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. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is largely dependent on forecasted SOFR as of the measurement date. If, in subsequent periods, forecasted SOFR exceeds the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps, we will recognize a gain and future cash inflows. Conversely, if forecasted SOFR falls below the fixed rates we pay on our interest rate swaps in subsequent periods, we will recognize a loss and future cash outflows.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value
Term Loan due 2029The fair value of our Term Loan due 2029 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 FacilityThe valuation technique of our Revolving Credit Facility is consistent with our Term Loan due 2029. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility generally approximates its carrying value as the expected term is significantly shorter in duration.
