THIRD QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

Third quarter 2012 net income totaled $143 million, a 40 percent increase compared to third quarter 2011 adjusted net income. Diluted EPS totaled $0.44, a 52 percent increase from adjusted diluted EPS in the year-ago quarter. On July 11, 2012, the company forecasted third quarter diluted EPS of $0.39 to $0.41.

For the third quarter of 2011, the company reported a net loss of $179 million and reported diluted losses per share of $0.52. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS for the year-ago quarter excluded $349 million pretax ($281 million after-tax and $0.81 per diluted share) of timeshare spin-off adjustments totaling $321 million pretax and other charges totaling $28 million pretax. Timeshare spin-off adjustments included items such as the removal of timeshare business operating results and spin-off transaction costs, as well as the addition of license fees and other related items as if the spin-off had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2011. Other charges included an $18 million pretax impairment charge on an investment in equity securities and a $10 million pretax write-off related to one property whose owner filed for bankruptcy. See page A-1 for third quarter 2011 reported results, the timeshare spin-off adjustments, other charges and adjusted results.

Arne M. Sorenson, president and chief executive officer of Marriott International, said, "We were pleased with our third quarter performance. Pricing power continued to improve in the quarter as hotel occupancy levels approached prior peaks. Group revenue at comparable Marriott Hotels and Resorts in North America rose 8 percent in the third quarter with room rates up 3 percent. Transient REVPAR rose 6 percent with strong last-minute retail demand and reduced discounting.

"Looking ahead, we expect 2013 worldwide constant dollar REVPAR to increase at a mid single-digit rate despite moderate economic growth in many markets around the world. We are particularly bullish about our prospects in North America and expect North American systemwide REVPAR to increase 5 to 7 percent in 2013. In that market, negotiations for special corporate business are already underway and we are targeting room rates to increase at a high single-digit rate. Group revenue on the books for 2013 for the Marriott brand in North America is up over 7 percent with rates up nearly 4 percent.

"Worldwide we opened nearly 5,000 rooms during the quarter and signed 13,000 rooms. We are delighted to welcome the Gaylord brand and its five hotels located in Orlando, Nashville, Dallas and Washington, DC to our system in the fourth quarter. Across 14 lodging brands worldwide, our pipeline of hotels under development, under construction or pending conversion increased to over 120,000 rooms during the quarter. Around the world, we expect to add 28,000 rooms in 2012, 30,000 to 35,000 rooms in 2013 and 90,000 to 105,000 for the three-year period from 2012 to 2014. Our market share of hotels continues to grow around the world."

For the 2012 third quarter, REVPAR for worldwide comparable systemwide properties increased 6.0 percent (a 4.6 percent increase using actual dollars).

In North America, comparable systemwide REVPAR increased 6.3 percent in the third quarter of 2012, including a 4.9 percent increase in average daily rate. REVPAR for comparable systemwide North American full-service and luxury hotels (including Marriott Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton, Renaissance Hotels and Autograph Collection Hotels) increased 6.8 percent with a 4.6 percent increase 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 5.9 percent in the third quarter with a 5.0 percent increase in average daily rate.

International comparable systemwide REVPAR rose 5.0 percent (a 1.5 percent decline using actual dollars), including a 3.8 percent increase in average daily rate (a 2.6 percent decline using actual dollars) in the third quarter of 2012.

Marriott added 35 new properties (4,874 rooms) to its worldwide lodging portfolio in the 2012 third quarter, including the Renaissance Shanghai Caohejing, the Renaissance Istanbul Bosphorus and The Ritz-Carlton, Vienna. Thirteen properties (3,103 rooms) exited the system during the quarter. At quarter-end, the company's lodging group encompassed 3,770 properties and timeshare resorts for a total of nearly 648,000 rooms.

The company's worldwide pipeline of hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or approved for development totaled approximately 730 properties with over 120,000 rooms at quarter-end, not including the 8,100 Gaylord rooms joining the system in the fourth quarter.

MARRIOTT REVENUES totaled over $2.7 billion in the 2012 third quarter compared to adjusted revenues of $2.5 billion for the third quarter of 2011. Base management and franchise fees rose 9 percent over prior year adjusted levels to $283 million, reflecting higher REVPAR at existing hotels and fees from new hotels, as well as $7 million of deferred base management fees recognized in the quarter related to the sale of the Courtyard joint venture. Third quarter worldwide incentive management fees increased 24 percent to $36 million. In the third quarter, 28 percent of worldwide company-managed hotels earned incentive management fees compared to 24 percent in the year-ago quarter.

Worldwide comparable company-operated house profit margins increased 180 basis points in the third quarter. House profit margins for comparable company-operated properties outside North America increased 160 basis points and North American comparable company-operated house profit margins increased 200 basis points from the year-ago quarter.

Owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct expenses, totaled $26 million, compared to $35 million in the year-ago quarter. The $9 million decline reflected a $7 million decline in termination fees and a $2 million decrease in residential branding fees.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE and OTHER expenses for the 2012 third quarter declined 8 percent in the 2012 third quarter, to $132 million compared to adjusted expenses of $143 million in the 2011 third quarter. Third quarter 2012 expenses reflected a favorable litigation settlement, partially offset by higher legal expenses, netting to a favorable $5 million. In the prior year, expenses reflected the $5 million combined impact of the guarantee reserve for one hotel and the write-off of deferred contract acquisition costs.

GAINS AND OTHER INCOME totaled $36 million in the quarter, primarily reflecting the $41 million gain related to the sale of the Courtyard joint venture offset by a $7 million impairment charge on an investment.

INTEREST EXPENSE totaled $29 million in the third quarter, compared to adjusted interest expense of $32 million in the year-ago quarter. Capitalized interest totaled $7 million in the quarter, compared to $5 million in the year-ago quarter.

EBITDA totaled $284 million in the 2012 third quarter, a 27 percent increase over 2011 third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $223 million. See page A-9 for the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA calculations.

BALANCE SHEET

At the end of the third quarter 2012, total debt was $2,509 million and cash balances totaled $105 million, compared to $2,171 million in debt and $102 million of cash at year-end 2011.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the company issued $350 million of Series L bonds due in 2022 with a 3.25 percent interest rate coupon. The company expects to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

COMMON STOCK

Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS totaled 329.3 million in the 2012 third quarter, compared to 356.8 million in the year-ago quarter.

The company repurchased 9.6 million shares of common stock in the third quarter at a cost of $353 million. Year-to-date through the third quarter, Marriott repurchased 24.3 million shares of its stock for $903 million. The remaining share repurchase authorization, as of September 7, 2012, totaled 16.2 million shares.

FOURTH QUARTER 2012 OUTLOOK

For the fourth quarter, the company expects comparable systemwide REVPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 5 to 7 percent in North America, increase roughly 3 percent outside North America and improve 4 to 6 percent worldwide.

The company expects to add approximately 28,000 rooms worldwide for the full year 2012. The company also expects approximately 10,000 rooms will leave the system during the year.

The company expects investment spending in 2012 will total approximately $850 million to $950 million, including approximately $100 million for maintenance capital spending. Investment spending also includes other capital expenditures (including property acquisitions), new mezzanine financing and mortgage notes, contract acquisition costs (including the $210 million payment associated with the Gaylord transaction), and equity and other investments. Assuming this level of investment spending, approximately $1.1 billion could be returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Based upon the assumptions above, the company expects full year 2012 EBITDA will total $1,129 million to $1,149 million, a 14 to 16 percent increase over the prior year's adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2011 totaled $992 million and is shown on page A-10.

Total Lodging Products as of September 9, 2011 does not include 2,165 ExecuStay corporate housing rental units. We had no ExecuStay corporate housing rental units as of September 7, 2012 because we completed the sale of our corporate housing business during the second quarter of 2012.

2

Reported 2012 Timeshare properties and rooms/suites are not comparable to 2011 data due to a change in reporting methodology as a result of the Timeshare spin-off.

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 prescribed or authorized by 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 Reflect the Timeshare Spin-off as if it had Occurred on the First Day of 2011. ("Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments"). On November 21, 2011 we completed a spin-off of our timeshare operations and timeshare development business through a special tax-free dividend to our shareholders of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of our wholly owned subsidiary Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation ("MVW").


Because of our significant continuing involvement in MVW's ongoing operations (by virtue of our license and other agreements with MVW), we continue to include our former Timeshare segment's historical financial results for periods before the spin-off date in our historical financial results as a component of continuing operations. Under the license agreements we receive license fees consisting of a fixed annual fee of $50 million (subject to a periodic inflation adjustment), plus two percent of the gross sales price paid to MVW for initial developer sales of interests in vacation ownership units and residential real estate units and one percent of the gross sales price paid to MVW for resale of interests in vacation ownership units and residential real estate units, in each case that are identified with or use the Marriott or Ritz-Carlton marks.


In order to perform year-over-year comparisons on a comparable basis, management evaluates non-GAAP measures that, for certain periods prior to the spin-off date, assume the spin-off had occurred on the first day of 2011. The Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments remove the results of our former Timeshare segment, assume payment by MVW of estimated license fees ($14 million, $15 million, $15 million, and $16 million for the 2011 first through fourth quarters, respectively) and remove the unallocated spin-off transaction costs ($1 million, $3 million, $8 million, and $22 million for the 2011 first through fourth quarters, respectively). We have also included certain corporate items not previously allocated to our former Timeshare segment in the Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments. Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments totaled ($21) million pre-tax (($13) million after-tax), ($14) million pre-tax (($9) million after-tax), $321 million pre-tax ($264 million after-tax), and $14 million pre-tax ($18 million after-tax) for the 2011 first through fourth quarters, respectively.


We provide adjusted measures that reflect Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments for illustrative and informational purposes only. These adjusted measures are not necessarily indicative of, and we do not purport that they represent, what our operating results would have been had the spin-off actually occurred on the first day of 2011. This information also does not reflect certain financial and operating benefits we expect to realize as a result of the spin-off.


Adjusted Measures That Exclude Other Charges. Management evaluates non-GAAP measures that exclude certain 2011 charges because those non-GAAP measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of material charges. These non-GAAP measures also facilitate management's comparison of results from our on-going operations before material charges with results from other lodging companies.


2011 Other Charges. We recorded charges of $28 million pre-tax ($17 million after-tax) in the 2011 third quarter, which included an $18 million other-than-temporary impairment of an investment in marketable securities (not allocated to any of our segments) recorded in the "(Losses) gains and other income" caption of our Income Statement and a $10 million charge related to the impairment of deferred contract acquisition costs and an accounts receivable reserve, both of which were associated with a Luxury segment property whose owner filed for bankruptcy and recorded in the "General, administrative, and other" caption of our Income Statement.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (cont.)



Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") is a financial measure that is not prescribed or authorized by United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which reflects earnings excluding the impact of interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We consider EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because we use it to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. We also use EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. 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 provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA further excludes depreciation and amortization 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 evaluate Adjusted EBITDA, another non-GAAP financial measure, as an indicator of operating performance. Our Adjusted EBITDA reflects the following items, each of which we describe more fully above: (1) Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments; and (2) an adjustment for $28 million of other charges for 2011. We use Adjusted EBITDA to make period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before material charges and to facilitate our comparison of results from our ongoing operations before material charges with results from other lodging companies.


EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Both of these non-GAAP measures exclude certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting EBITDA's and Adjusted EBITDA's usefulness as comparative measures. We provide Adjusted EBITDA for illustrative and informational purposes only and this measure is not necessarily indicative of and we do not purport that it represents what our operating results would have been had the Timeshare spin-off occurred on the first day of 2011. This information also does not reflect certain financial and operating benefits we expect to realize as a result of the spin-off.


Adjusted Operating Income Margin and EBITDA Margin Excluding Adjusted Cost Reimbursements. 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 Marriott Rewards and Ritz-Carlton 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. We consider total revenues as adjusted for Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments and operating income as adjusted for the operating income impact of Timeshare Spin-off Adjustments and Other Charges meaningful for the reasons noted above. In calculating adjusted operating income margin and EBITDA margin we consider total revenues as adjusted to further exclude cost reimbursements and therefore, adjusted operating income margin and EBITDA margin excluding cost reimbursements to be meaningful metrics as they represent that portion of revenue, operating income margin, and EBITDA margin that impacts operating income and net income.
