Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

The following table presents a summary of our selected historical financial data derived from our last 10 years of Financial Statements. Because this information is only a summary and does not provide all of the information contained in our Financial Statements, including the related notes, you should read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our Financial Statements for each year for more detailed information including, among other items, our adoption of ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” in 2018, our acquisition of Starwood in 2016, restructuring charges we incurred in 2016, timeshare strategy-impairment charges we incurred in 2011, and our 2011 spin-off of our former timeshare operations and timeshare development business. For 2016, we include Legacy-Starwood results from the Merger Date to year-end 2016.

Financial Table

(1)  In 2013, we changed to a calendar year-end reporting cycle. All fiscal years presented before 2013 included 52 weeks.

(2)  Represents fee revenue from the U.S. (but not Hawaii before 2011) and Canada.

(3)  Represents fee revenue outside of North America, as defined in footnote (2) above.

(4)  In 2015, we adopted ASU No. 2015-03, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs, and ASU No. 2015-17, which changes the classification of deferred taxes. Years before 2014 have not been adjusted for these new accounting standards.

(5)  In 2017, we reclassified branding fees for third-party residential sales and credit card licensing to the “Franchise fees” caption from the “Owned, leased, and other revenue” caption on our Income Statements. We reclassified prior period amounts through 2013 to conform to our current presentation. We did not reclassify amounts for years before 2013.

(6)  In 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, which impacted our recognition of revenues and certain expenses. Years before 2016 have not been adjusted for this new accounting standard.

(7)  In 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, which brought substantially all leases onto the balance sheet. Years before 2019 have not been adjusted for this new accounting standard.
