At year-end 2013, we operated, franchised, and licensed the following properties by segment:

Financials

(1) North American includes properties located in the United States and Canada. International includes properties located outside the United States and Canada.

(2) Represents projects where we manage the related owners’ association. We include residential products once they possess a certificate of occupancy.

(3) Timeshare properties licensed by MVW under the Marriott Vacation Club, The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, and Grand Residences by Marriott brand names. Includes products that are in active sales as well as those that are sold out. MVW’s property and room counts are reported on a fiscal year basis for the MVW year ended January 3, 2014.

The following discussion reflects all four of our Lodging segments and, for 2012 compared to 2011, our former Timeshare segment.

2013 Compared to 2012

We added 161 properties (25,420 rooms) and 51 properties (10,299 rooms) exited our system in 2013. These figures do not include residential units. During 2013, we also added five residential properties (301 units) and no residential properties or units exited the system.

Total segment financial results increased by $24 million to $1,197 million in 2013 from $1,173 million in 2012, and total segment revenues increased by $992 million to $12,518 million in 2013, a 9 percent increase from revenues of $11,526 million in 2012.

The year-over-year increase in segment revenues of $992 million was a result of a $923 million increase in cost reimbursements revenue, a $59 million increase in franchise fees, a $40 million increase in base management fees, and a $24 million increase in incentive management fees, partially offset by a $54 million decrease in owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue. The year-over-year increase of $24 million in segment results reflected a $59 million increase in franchise fees, a $40 million increase in base management fees, a $24 million increase in incentive management fees, and $8 million of lower joint venture equity losses, partially offset by a $54 million increase in general, administrative, and other expenses, $44 million of lower gains and other income, and a $9 million decrease in owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue net of direct expenses. For more information on the variances, see the preceding sections beginning with “Revenues.”

In 2013, 39 percent of our managed properties paid incentive management fees to us versus 33 percent in 2012. In addition, in 2013, 58 percent of our incentive fees came from properties outside the United States versus 65 percent in 2012. In North America, 22 percent of managed properties paid incentive management fees to us in 2013, compared to 15 percent in 2012. Further, in North America, 20 North American Limited-Service segment properties, 19 North American Full-Service segment properties, and two Luxury segment properties earned a combined $8 million in incentive management fees in 2013, but did not earn any incentive management fees in 2012.

See “Statistics” below for detailed information on Systemwide RevPAR and Company-operated RevPAR by segment, region, and brand.

Compared to 2012, worldwide comparable company-operated house profit margins in 2013 increased by 90 basis points and worldwide comparable company-operated house profit per available room (“HP-PAR”) increased by 6.2 percent on a constant U.S. dollar basis, reflecting higher occupancy, rate increases, improved productivity, and lower energy costs. These same factors contributed to North American company-operated house profit margins increasing by 130 basis points compared to 2012. HP-PAR at those same properties increased by 8.3 percent. International company-operated house profit margins increased by 40 basis points, and HP-PAR at those properties increased by 3.4 percent reflecting increased demand and higher RevPAR in most locations and improved productivity. Note that 2013 had four additional days of activity.

2012 Compared to 2011

We added 122 properties (27,059 rooms) and 42 properties (8,883 rooms) exited our system in 2012. These figures do not include residential or ExecuStay units. During 2012, we added three residential properties (89 units), and no residential properties or units exited the system.

Total segment financial results increased by $408 million to $1,173 million in 2012 from $765 million in 2011, and total segment revenues decreased by $671 million to $11,526 million in 2012, a 6 percent decrease from revenues of $12,197 million in 2011. The $408 million increase in segment results reflected a $212 million favorable variance from the spin-off (which included $324 million of Timeshare strategy-impairment charges in 2011) and a net $196 million increase in segment results across our lodging business. The $671 million decrease in total segment revenues reflected a $1,443 million decrease due to the impact of the spin-off that was partially offset by a net $772 million increase across our lodging business.

The year-over-year net increase in segment revenues across our lodging business of $772 million resulted from a $757 million increase in cost reimbursements revenue which does not impact operating income or net income, a $44 million increase in franchise fees, a $35 million increase in base management fees, and a $37 million increase in incentive management fees, partially offset by a $101 million decrease in owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue. The $196 million year-over-year increase in segment results across our lodging business reflected a $44 million increase in franchise fees, $39 million of higher gains and other income, a $37 million increase in incentive management fees, a $35 million increase in base management fees, a $19 million decrease in general, administrative, and other expenses, an $18 million increase in owned, leased, corporate housing, and other revenue net of direct expenses, and $4 million of lower joint venture equity losses. For more detailed information on the variances, see the preceding sections beginning with “Revenues.”

In 2012, 33 percent of our managed properties paid incentive management fees to us versus 29 percent in 2011. In addition, in 2012, 65 percent of our incentive fees came from properties outside the United States versus 67 percent in 2011. In North America, 15 percent of managed properties paid incentive management fees to us in 2012, compared to 13 percent in 2011. Further, in North America, 14 North American Full-Service segment properties, seven North American Limited-Service segment properties, and two Luxury segment properties earned a combined $13 million in incentive management fees in 2012, but did not earn any incentive management fees in 2011.

Compared to 2011, worldwide comparable company-operated house profit margins in 2012 increased by 120 basis points and worldwide comparable company-operated house profit per available room (“HP-PAR”) increased by 9.0 percent on a constant U.S. dollar basis, reflecting higher occupancy, rate increases, improved productivity, and lower energy costs. These same factors contributed to North American company-operated house profit margins increasing by 140 basis points compared to 2011. HP-PAR at those same properties increased by 9.9 percent. International company-operated house profit margins increased by 90 basis points, and HP-PAR at those properties increased by 7.3 percent reflecting increased demand and higher RevPAR in most locations and improved productivity.
