Outside of the United States, RevPAR at comparable ownership segment hotels increased by 3.4 percent on a currency neutral basis (a 10.5 percent decrease in actual dollars).

Approximately 136,000 rooms, or 54 percent of the pipeline, were located outside of the United States. All of the development pipeline is in the capital light management and franchise segment, and over half, or approximately 128,000 rooms, were under construction.

____________
(1)		To facilitate comparison with the Company's competitors, beginning in the first quarter of 2015, Adjusted EBITDA excluded all share-based compensation expense. Historical results have been revised to reflect this change in the definition to allow for comparability.
(2)		Includes management, royalty and intellectual property fees of $36 million and $29 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $66 million and $56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These fees are charged to consolidated owned and leased properties and were eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Also includes a licensing fee of $11 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and $20 million and $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which is charged to the timeshare segment by the management and franchise segment and was eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. While the net effect is zero, the measure of Adjusted EBITDA includes these fees as a benefit to the management and franchise segment and a cost to the ownership and timeshare segments.
(3)		Includes charges to timeshare operations for rental fees and fees for other amenities, which were eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These charges totaled $5 million and $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $11 million and $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(4)		Includes charges to consolidated owned and leased properties for services provided by Hilton's wholly owned laundry business of $1 million and $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $3 million and $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Also includes other intercompany charges of $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
