Second quarter 2015 net income totaled $240 million, a 25 percent increase over 2014 second quarter net income.  Diluted earnings per share (EPS) in the second quarter totaled $0.87, a 36 percent increase from diluted EPS in the year-ago quarter.  Second quarter 2015 results reflect a $41 million pretax gain ($25 million after-tax and $0.09 per diluted share) on the redemption of a preferred equity ownership interest and $22 million of pretax losses ($13 million after-tax and $0.04 per diluted share) on the expected disposition of real estate.  Excluding these items, second quarter 2015 adjusted net income totaled $228 million and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.82.  These two items were not included in the company's April 29, 2015 second quarter forecasted EPS of $0.78 to $0.83

Second quarter 2014 net income totaled $192 million and diluted EPS totaled $0.64.  Second quarter 2014 results reflected $33 million pretax ($21 million after-tax and $0.07 per diluted share) of previously disclosed charges.  Excluding those items, second quarter 2014 adjusted net income totaled $213 million and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.71.  See page A-11 for the adjusted EPS calculations for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014.

Arne M. Sorenson, president and chief executive officer of Marriott International, said, "We were pleased with our results in the quarter.  Our worldwide RevPAR grew over 5 percent and rooms growth increased more than 6 percent.  With many hotels reporting peak occupancy rates, room rates continue to move higher.

"We opened over 20,000 rooms in the second quarter including 9,600 rooms in Canada from our acquisition of the Delta Hotels and Resorts brand.  We see great growth potential for Delta around the world.  In just the last two months, we have received inquiries regarding the possible conversion of more than 50 hotels in the U.S. and Canada to the Delta brand. 

"At quarter-end, our worldwide development pipeline exceeded 1,500 hotels with more than 250,000 rooms, a new record.   We have already reached our goal to have one million rooms open or under development nearly six months ahead of plan.  We continue to expect to increase our open rooms distribution by 8 percent gross, 7 percent net, in 2015.

"As of today, we have returned nearly $1.5 billion to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends in 2015.  We expect to return more than $2.0 billion in 2015.  Over the past 24 months, we have returned $3.4 billion to shareholders and have reduced our fully diluted weighted average share count by nearly 12 percent."

For the 2015 second quarter, RevPAR for worldwide comparable systemwide properties increased 5.3 percent (a 3.1 percent increase using actual dollars).

In North America, comparable systemwide RevPAR increased 5.4 percent (a 5.1 percent increase using actual dollars) in the second quarter of 2015, including a 5.1 percent increase (a 4.8 percent increase in actual dollars) in average daily rate.  RevPAR for comparable systemwide North American full-service hotels (including Marriott Hotels, The Ritz-Carlton, Renaissance Hotels, Gaylord Hotels and Autograph Collection Hotels) increased 4.6 percent (a 4.3 percent increase in actual dollars) with a 4.5 percent increase (a 4.1 percent increase in actual dollars) in average daily rate.  RevPAR for comparable systemwide North American limited-service hotels (including Courtyard, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites, TownePlace Suites and Fairfield Inn & Suites) increased 6.1 percent (a 5.8 percent increase in actual dollars) in the second quarter with a 5.7 percent increase (a 5.3 percent increase in actual dollars) in average daily rate. 

International comparable systemwide RevPAR rose 4.5 percent (a 5.3 percent decline using actual dollars) in the second quarter.  International RevPAR growth was constrained during the quarter by the earlier start of Ramadan.

Marriott added 101 new properties (20,289 rooms) to its worldwide lodging portfolio in the 2015 second quarter, including 37 properties (9,595 rooms) from the Delta transaction.  Twelve properties (937 rooms) exited the system during the quarter.  At quarter-end, the company's lodging system encompassed 4,317 properties and timeshare resorts for a total of nearly 743,000 rooms.

The company's worldwide development pipeline totaled over 1,500 properties with more than 250,000 rooms at quarter-end, including roughly 520 properties with nearly 93,000 rooms under construction and roughly 225 properties with approximately 35,000 rooms approved for development, but not yet subject to signed contracts. 

MARRIOTT REVENUES totaled approximately $3.7 billion in the 2015 second quarter compared to revenues of nearly $3.5 billion for the second quarter of 2014.  Base management and franchise fees totaled $412 million compared to $370 million in the year-ago quarter, an increase of 11 percent.  The increase largely reflects higher RevPAR, new unit growth, the recognition of $5 million of previously deferred base management fees and a $3 million increase in application and relicensing fees, partially offset by $4 million of unfavorable foreign exchange.

Second quarter worldwide incentive management fees totaled $81 million, flat compared to the year-ago quarter primarily due to higher RevPAR and house profit margins, offset by year-over-year declines of $5 million due to renovations at a few North American properties and $4 million of unfavorable foreign exchange.  The 2014 second quarter fees include $2 million of favorable timing of fee recognition. In the 2015 second quarter, 59 percent of worldwide company-managed hotels earned incentive management fees compared to 45 percent in the year-ago quarter.

On its April 30 first quarter earnings call, the company indicated that incentive management fees would likely be flat year-over-year in the second quarter.

The company anticipates that worldwide incentive management fees will increase at a low teens rate for both the third quarter and full year 2015. 

Worldwide comparable company-operated house profit margins increased 70 basis points in the second quarter with higher room rates, improved productivity, and lower food and utility costs.  House profit margins for comparable company-operated properties outside North America increased 60 basis points and North American comparable company-operated house profit margins increased 80 basis points from the year-ago quarter.

Owned, leased, and other revenue, net of direct expenses, totaled $60 million, compared to $70 million in the year-ago quarter.  The year-over-year decrease largely reflects $4 million of lower residential branding fees, $3 million of higher pre-opening expenses and $3 million of lower results from one North American full-service hotel under renovation. 

DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION, and OTHER expenses totaled $32 million in the 2015 second quarter compared to $47 million in the year-ago quarter.  The 2014 second quarter includes $15 million of impairment charges. 

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE, and OTHER expenses for the 2015 second quarter totaled $152 million compared to $159 million in the year-ago quarter.  Expenses for the year-ago quarter include a $7 million foreign exchange loss associated with the Venezuelan Bolivar.

On April 29, the company estimated general, administrative, and other expenses for the second quarter would total $160 million to $165 million, not including Delta transition and transaction costs.  Actual expenses in the quarter were lower than expected largely due to favorable timing and general admin savings, as well as lower legal expenses and lower net development costs.  Actual Delta transition and transaction costs in the second quarter totaled $3 million.

GAINS AND OTHER INCOME, NET totaled $20 million in the quarter compared to $3 million in the year-ago quarter.  Gains in the 2015 second quarter include a $41 million pretax gain on the redemption of a preferred equity ownership interest partially offset by $22 million of pretax losses on the expected disposition of real estate.  These two items were not included in the company's April 29 second quarter forecast. 

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET increased $10 million in the second quarter.  Interest expense for the second quarter increased $12 million largely due to lower capitalized interest expense and higher interest expense associated with a new debt issuance.  Interest income increased $2 million largely due to a year-over-year increase in loans receivable.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS (LOSSES) increased $10 million in the second quarter to $2 million.  The $8 million of equity losses in the year-ago quarter reflected an $11 million litigation reserve. 

Adjusted Earnings before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)

For the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA totaled $457 million, a 12 percent increase over second quarter 2014 adjusted EBITDA of $408 million.  See page A-8 for the adjusted EBITDA calculation.

BALANCE SHEET

At quarter-end, total debt was $3,917 million and cash balances totaled $140 million, compared to $3,781 million in debt and $104 million of cash at year-end 2014.

To date in 2015, the company has recycled more than $750 million of capital, including the sale of two EDITION hotels and the redemption of a preferred equity ownership interest.

COMMON STOCK

Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS totaled 277.3 million in the 2015 second quarter, compared to 298.7 million in the year-ago quarter.

The company repurchased 9.1 million shares of common stock in the second quarter at a cost of $714 million.  To date in 2015, the company has repurchased 17.3 million shares for $1.35 billion

OUTLOOK

For the 2015 third quarter, the company expects comparable systemwide RevPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 4 to 6 percent in North America, 3 to 5 percent outside North America and 4 to 6 percent worldwide.  Third quarter RevPAR growth should moderate from the second quarter as a result of the unfavorable year-over-year holiday shifts.

For the 2015 fourth quarter, the company expects comparable systemwide RevPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 5 to 7 percent in North America, 4 to 6 percent outside North America and 5 to 7 percent worldwide. 

For full year 2015, the company expects comparable systemwide RevPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 5.5 to 6.5 percent in North America, 4.5 to 5.5 percent outside North America and 5.5 to 6.5 percent worldwide.

The company anticipates gross room additions of approximately 8 percent, or 7 percent, net, worldwide for the full year 2015, including the 9,600 rooms from the recently completed acquisition of the Delta brand.

The company assumes full year fee revenue could total $1,890 million to $1,910 million, growth of 10 to 11 percent over 2014 fee revenue of $1,719 million.  Compared to the company's prior 2015 fee estimate, the current forecast assumes higher unfavorable foreign exchange, as well as more modest incentive management fees in Hong Kong and South Korea.  The company anticipates incentive management fees alone will increase at a low teens rate for full year 2015.

The company estimates depreciation, amortization, and other expenses for full year 2015 will total approximately $140 million, reflecting lower depreciation expense related to assets held for sale and a refinement of the Protea and Delta purchase price allocation estimates.

For 2015, the company anticipates general, administrative and other expenses will total $630 million to $640 million, a 3 to 4 percent decline compared to 2014 expenses of $659 million.  Compared to the company's prior estimate of 2015 general and administrative costs, the current estimate assumes lower legal expenses and lower net development costs, partially offset by approximately $10 million of transition and transaction costs associated with the Delta acquisition. 

Given these assumptions, 2015 diluted EPS could total $3.10 to $3.18, a 22 to 25 percent increase year-over-year.  This full year EPS outlook includes the $0.09 gain on the redemption of a preferred equity ownership interest, $0.04 of losses on the expected disposition of real estate  and full year Delta transition and transaction costs of approximately $0.02.  These items were not included in the company's April 29 forecast.

The company expects investment spending in 2015 will total approximately $600 million to $800 million, including approximately $140 million for maintenance capital and approximately $135 million for the Delta transaction.  Investment spending also includes other capital expenditures (including property acquisitions), new mezzanine financing and mortgage notes, contract acquisition costs, and equity and other investments.  Assuming this level of investment spending, at least $2.0 billion could be returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Based upon the assumptions above, the company expects full year 2015 adjusted EBITDA will total $1,721 million to $1,756 million, a 13 to 15 percent increase over the 2014 full year adjusted EBITDA of $1,524 million.  See page A-9 for the adjusted EBITDA calculation.

MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We discuss management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below, and the press release schedules reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we refer to (identified by a double asterisk on the preceding pages). Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, earnings per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.
 
Adjusted Measures that Exclude 2015 and 2014 Second Quarter Gains and Charges.  We believe that measures excluding the following 2015 and 2014 second quarter gains and charges are meaningful measures of our performance because they permit period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before these items and facilitate our comparison of results before these items with results from other lodging companies.
 
We recorded a net gain of $19 million pre-tax ($12 million after-tax) in the 2015 second quarter, consisting of: (1) a $41 million pretax ($25 million aftertax) gain triggered by a mandatory redemption feature of a preferred equity security; and (2) a $22 million pre-tax ($13 million after-tax) loss on expected dispositions of real estate, which we recorded in the "Gains and other income, net" caption of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (our "Income Statements").
 
We recorded charges of $33 million pretax ($21 million aftertax) in the 2014 second quarter, consisting of: (1) a $15 million pre-tax ($9 million after-tax) impairment charge recorded in the "Depreciation, amortization, and other" caption of our Income Statements following an evaluation of our EDITION hotels for recovery and determination that our cost estimates exceeded our total fixed sales price; (2) an $11 million pre-tax ($7 million after-tax) charge recorded in the "Equity in earnings (losses)" caption of our Income Statements for a litigation reserve; and (3) a $7 million pre-tax ($5 million after-tax) charge recorded in the "General, administrative, and other" caption of our Income Statements for foreign currency exchange losses from the devaluation of assets denominated in Venezuelan Bolivars.
 
Earnings Before Interest Expense and Taxes ("EBIT"), and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"). EBIT and Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. EBIT, which we use as part of our return on invested capital calculation, reflects net income excluding the impact of interest expense and provision for income taxes, and EBITDA reflects EBIT excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization. Our non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to exclude (1) the $41 million pretax preferred equity investment gain and the $22 million pre-tax expected loss on dispositions of real estate that we describe in more detail above; (2) the pre-tax EDITION impairment charges of $12 million in the 2015 first quarter, $10 million in the 2014 first quarter, and $15 million in the 2014 second quarter; and (3) share-based compensation expense for all periods presented.
 
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of our operating performance because it permits period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before these items and facilitates our comparison of results before these items with results from other lodging companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry, and analysts, lenders, investors, and others use EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA for similar purposes. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels, and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provisions for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. Our Adjusted EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization expense which we report under "Depreciation, amortization, and other" as well as depreciation included under "Reimbursed costs" in our Income Statements, because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. We also excluded share-based compensation expense in all periods presented in order to address considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use share-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted.
 
Adjusted EBITDA and EBIT have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a comparative measure.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted Operating Income Margin. We consider operating income, as adjusted and therefore, operating income margin, as adjusted for the 2014 second quarter pre-tax EDITION impairment charges of $15 million and the $7 million pre-tax foreign currency exchange losses from the devaluation of assets denominated in Venezuelan Bolivars, meaningful for the reasons noted above. Cost reimbursements revenue represents reimbursements we receive for costs we incur on behalf of managed and franchised properties and relates, predominantly, to payroll costs at managed properties where we are the employer, but also includes reimbursements for other costs, such as those associated with our rewards programs. As we record cost reimbursements based on the costs we incur with no added markup, this revenue and related expense has no impact on either our operating income or net income because cost reimbursements revenue net of reimbursed costs expense is zero. In calculating adjusted operating income margin we consider total revenues, as adjusted and operating income, as adjusted, to be meaningful metrics as they represent that portion of revenue and that portion of operating income that allows for period-over-period operating margin comparisons.
 
Adjusted Earnings per Share ("Adjusted EPS").  Our Adjusted EPS excludes a net gain of $19 million pre-tax ($12 after-tax) that we recorded in the 2015 second quarter and charges of $33 million pretax ($21 million aftertax) that we recorded in the 2014 second quarter, described in more detail above. We believe that Adjusted EPS that excludes these items is a meaningful measure of our performance because it permits period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before these items and facilitates our comparison of results before these items with results from other lodging companies.
 
Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC"). We calculate ROIC as EBIT divided by average invested capital. We consider ROIC to be a meaningful indicator of our operating performance, and we evaluate ROIC because it measures how effectively we use the money we invest in our operations. We calculate invested capital by deducting from total assets: (1) current liabilities, as we intend to satisfy them in the short term, net of current portion of long-term debt, as the numerator of the calculation excludes interest expense; and (2) deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities, because the numerator of the calculation is a pre-tax amount
