Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023 Response dated June 18, 2024 File No. 001-36243 Dear Michael Duffy: We have reviewed your June 18, 2024 response to our comment letter and have the following comment. Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing your response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in our June 11, 2024 letter. Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, page 48 1. We have considered your responses to prior comments 1 and 2. We observe that the adjustment for net other expenses from managed and franchised properties to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA and Net income, adjusted for special items and the adjustment for "other revenues from managed and franchised properties" to arrive at Total revenues, as adjusted appear to change the pattern of recognition of revenue and expense as prescribed by GAAP, resulting in tailored non-GAAP measures. In this regard, please tell us how you considered Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations in your determination that it is appropriate to present these adjustments.
