Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

The condensed consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott,” and together with its subsidiaries “we,” “us,” or the “Company”). In order to make this report easier to read, we refer throughout to (i) our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as our “Financial Statements,” (ii) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as our “Income Statements,” our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as our “Balance Sheets,” (iii) our properties, brands, or markets in the United States and Canada as “North America” or “North American,” and (iv) our properties, brands, or markets outside of the United States and Canada as “international.” These condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Although we believe our disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, you should read the financial statements in this report in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, (“2010 Form 10-K”). Certain terms not otherwise defined in this Form 10-Q have the meanings specified in our 2010 Form 10-K. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Our 2011 third quarter ended on September 9, 2011; our 2010 fourth quarter ended on December 31, 2010; and our 2010 third quarter ended on September 10, 2010. In our opinion, our financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 9, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the results of our operations for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2011, and September 10, 2010, and cash flows for the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2011, and September 10, 2010. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. We have eliminated all material intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these financial statements. We have also reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to our 2011 presentation. See Footnote No. 13, “Business Segments,” for additional information on the reclassification of segment revenues, segment financial results, and segment assets to reflect movement of data associated with properties in Hawaii to our North American segments from our International segment. Restricted Cash Restricted cash in our Balance Sheets at the end of the 2011 third quarter and year-end 2010 is recorded as $50 million and $55 million, respectively, in the “Other current assets” line and $33 million and $30 million, respectively, in the “Other long-term assets” line. Restricted cash primarily consists of cash proceeds of a note receivable that are restricted as collateral for other debt; cash held in a reserve account related to Timeshare segment notes receivable securitizations; cash held internationally that we have not repatriated due to statutory, tax and currency risks; and deposits received, primarily associated with timeshare interval, fractional ownership, and residential sales that are held in escrow until the contract has closed. |

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 – Provisions Effective in the 2011 First Quarter (“ASU No. 2010-06”) Certain provisions of ASU No. 2010-06 became effective during our 2011 first quarter. Those provisions, which amended Subtopic 820-10, require us to present as separate line items all purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of financial instruments valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in the reconciliation of fair value measurements, in contrast to the previous aggregate presentation as a single line item. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures. Future Adoption of Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 – “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU No. 2011-04”) ASU No. 2011-04 generally provides a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU No. 2011-04 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, which for us will be our 2012 first quarter. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on our financial statements. See the “Fair Value Measurements” caption of Footnote No. 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our 2010 Form 10-K for additional information on the three levels of fair value measurements. Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2011-05”) ASU No. 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement, statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. ASU No. 2011-05 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 (for us this will be our 2012 first quarter), with early adoption permitted. We believe the adoption of this update will change the order in which certain financial statements are presented and provide additional detail on those financial statements when applicable, but will not have any other impact on our financial statements. Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 – “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU No. 2011-08”) ASU No. 2011-08 amends existing guidance by giving an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this is the case, companies will need to perform a more detailed two-step goodwill impairment test which is used to identify potential goodwill impairments and to measure the amount of goodwill impairment losses to be recognized, if any. ASU No. 2011-08 will be effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, which for us will be our 2012 first quarter, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on our financial statements. |

| Income Taxes |
We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, in various jurisdictions around the world. We filed an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) refund claim relating to 2000 and 2001 for certain software development costs. The IRS disallowed the claims, and in July 2009, we protested the disallowance. This issue was settled in the 2011 second quarter. The IRS has examined our federal income tax returns, and we have settled all issues for tax years through 2009. We participated in the IRS Compliance Assurance Program (“CAP”) for the 2010 tax year, and are participating in CAP for 2011. This program accelerates the examination of key transactions with the goal of resolving any issues before the tax return is filed. Various income tax returns are also under examination by foreign, state and local taxing authorities. For the third quarter of 2011, we decreased unrecognized tax benefits by $2 million from $34 million at the end of the 2011 second quarter primarily due to new information related to international and state tax issues. For the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2011, we decreased unrecognized tax benefits by $7 million from $39 million at year-end 2010 primarily due to the closing of the 2005 through 2008 IRS audit examinations and to new information related to international and state tax issues. The unrecognized tax benefits balance of $32 million at the end of the 2011 third quarter included $18 million of tax positions that, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate. The “Benefit (provision) for income taxes" caption in our Income Statements for both the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2011, reflect $32 million of income tax expense that we recorded to write-off certain deferred tax assets that we expect to transfer to Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation ("MVW") in conjunction with the planned spin-off of our timeshare operations and timeshare development business. We impaired these assets because we consider it "more likely than not" that MVW will be unable to realize the value of those deferred tax assets. Please see Footnote No. 17, “Planned Spin-off,” of the Notes to our Financial Statements for additional information regarding the planned transaction. As a large taxpayer, the IRS and other taxing authorities continually audit us. Although we do not anticipate that a significant impact to our unrecognized tax benefit balance will occur during the next 52 weeks as a result of these audits, it remains possible that the amount of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits could change over that time period. |

| Share-Based Compensation |
Under our 2002 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan (the “Comprehensive Plan”), we award: (1) stock options to purchase our Class A Common Stock (“Stock Option Program”); (2) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) for our Class A Common Stock (“SAR Program”); (3) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of our Class A Common Stock; and (4) deferred stock units. We grant awards at exercise prices or strike prices equal to the market price of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. We recorded share-based compensation expense related to award grants of $22 million and $21 million for the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2011 and September 10, 2010, respectively, and $65 million and $62 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2011 and September 10, 2010, respectively. Deferred compensation costs related to unvested awards totaled $146 million and $113 million at September 9, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. RSUs We granted 2.6 million RSUs during the first three quarters of 2011 to certain officers and key employees, and those units vest generally over four years in equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. RSUs granted in the first three quarters of 2011 had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $40. SARs We granted 0.7 million SARs to officers and key employees during the first three quarters of 2011. These SARs expire 10 years after the date of grant and both vest and are exercisable in cumulative installments of one quarter at the end of each of the first four years following the date of grant. These SARs had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $16 and a weighted average exercise price of $41. We use a binomial method to estimate the fair value of each SAR granted, under which we calculate the weighted average expected SARs terms as the product of a lattice-based binomial valuation model that uses suboptimal exercise factors. We use historical data to estimate exercise behaviors and terms to retirement for separate groups of retirement eligible and non-retirement eligible employees. We used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of the Employee SARs granted during the first three quarters of 2011.
In making these assumptions, we based risk-free rates on the corresponding U.S. Treasury spot rates for the expected duration at the date of grant, which we converted to a continuously compounded rate. We based expected volatility on the weighted-average historical volatility, with periods with atypical stock movement given a lower weight to reflect stabilized long-term mean volatility. Other Information At the end of the 2011 third quarter, 52 million shares were reserved under the Comprehensive Plan, including 26 million shares under the Stock Option Program and the SAR Program. |

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
We believe that the fair values of our current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts. We show the carrying values and the fair values of non-current financial assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments, determined in accordance with current guidance for disclosures on the fair value of financial instruments, in the following table.
We estimate the fair value of the securitized notes receivable using a discounted cash flow model. We believe this is comparable to the model that an independent third party would use in the current market. Our model uses default rates, prepayment rates, coupon rates and loan terms for our securitized notes receivable portfolio as key drivers of risk and relative value, that when applied in combination with pricing parameters, determines the fair value of the underlying notes receivable. We estimate the fair value of the portion of our non-securitized notes receivable that we believe will ultimately be securitized in the same manner as securitized notes receivable. We value the remaining non-securitized notes receivable at their carrying value, rather than using our pricing model. We believe that the carrying value of such notes receivable approximates fair value because the stated interest rates of these loans are consistent with current market rates and the reserve for these notes receivable appropriately accounts for risks in default rates, prepayment rates, and loan terms. We estimate the fair value of our senior, mezzanine, and other loans by discounting cash flows using risk-adjusted rates. We estimate the fair value of our cost method investments by applying a cap rate to stabilized earnings (a market approach). The carrying value of our restricted cash approximates its fair value. We estimate the fair value of our non-recourse debt associated with securitized notes receivable using internally generated cash flow estimates derived by modeling all bond tranches for our active notes receivable securitization transactions, with consideration for the collateral specific to each tranche. The key drivers in our analysis include default rates, prepayment rates, bond interest rates and other structural factors, which we use to estimate the projected cash flows. In order to estimate market credit spreads by rating, we reviewed market spreads from timeshare notes receivable securitizations and other asset-backed transactions that occurred in the market during the first three quarters of 2011 and fiscal year 2010. We then applied those estimated market spreads to swap rates in order to estimate an underlying discount rate for calculating the fair value of the active bonds payable. We estimate the fair value of our other long-term debt, excluding leases, using expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, and we determine the fair value of our senior notes using quoted market prices. At the end of the 2011 third quarter the carrying value of our commercial paper approximated its fair value due to the short maturity. Other long-term liabilities represent guarantee costs and reserves and deposit liabilities. The carrying values of our guarantee costs and reserves approximate their fair values. We estimate the fair value of our deposit liabilities primarily by discounting future payments at a risk-adjusted rate. We are required to carry our marketable securities at fair value. We value these securities using directly observable Level 1 inputs. The carrying value of our marketable securities at the end of our 2011 third quarter was $39 million, which included debt securities of the U.S. Government, its sponsored agencies and other U.S. corporations invested for our self-insurance programs as well as shares of a publicly traded company. During the 2011 second quarter, a company in which we owned an investment that we accounted for using the cost method became a publicly traded company. Accordingly, we reclassified the investment to marketable securities and now record our investment at fair value. As of the end of the 2011 third quarter, this investment had a fair value of $24 million, which was $18 million lower than our cost basis. We determined that this security was other-than-temporarily impaired as of the end of the 2011 third quarter and, correspondingly, we recognized $10 million of losses in the 2011 third quarter that were recorded in other comprehensive income as of the end of the 2011 second quarter, and we recognized $8 million of additional losses in the 2011 third quarter, both of which we reflected in the "(Losses) gains and other income" caption of our Income Statements for both the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2011. We are also required to carry our derivative assets and liabilities at fair value. As of the end of our 2011 third quarter, we had derivative instruments in a long-term liability position of $1 million, which we valued using Level 3 inputs. We value our Level 3 input derivatives using valuations that we calibrate to the initial trade prices, with subsequent valuations based on unobservable inputs to the valuation model, including interest rates and volatilities. See the “Fair Value Measurements” caption of Footnote No. 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our 2010 Form 10-K for additional information. In preparing our Timeshare segment to operate as an independent, publicly traded company following our proposed spin-off of MVW (see Footnote No. 17 "Planned Spin-off" for additional information), management assessed the Timeshare segment's intended use of excess undeveloped land and built inventory and the current market conditions for those assets. During the third quarter of 2011, in conjunction with our evaluation of these specific Timeshare assets and our resulting decisions to accelerate cash flow through the monetization of certain excess undeveloped land and to offer incentives to accelerate sales of excess built luxury fractional and residential inventory, we recorded $324 million ($234 million after-tax) of impairment charges, reflected in our 2011 third quarter Income Statements in the “Timeshare Strategy - Impairment Charges” caption, to write down the carrying amounts of inventory and property and equipment to their respective fair values. For additional information, see Footnote No. 14, “Timeshare Strategy - Impairment Charges.” |

| Earnings Per Share |
The table below illustrates the reconciliation of the earnings and number of shares used in our calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share.
We compute the effect of dilutive securities using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the period. We determine dilution based on earnings. As we recorded a loss for the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2011, we did not include the following shares in the “Effect of dilutive securities” caption in the preceding table, because it would have been antidilutive to do so: 7.7 million employee stock option and SARs plan shares, 0.9 million deferred stock incentive plans shares, and 2.8 million restricted stock unit shares. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for calculating earnings per share, we have not included the following stock options and SARs in our calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices were greater than the average market prices for the applicable periods:

| Inventory |
Inventory, totaling $1,029 million as of September 9, 2011 and $1,489 million as of December 31, 2010, consists primarily of Timeshare segment interval, fractional ownership, and residential products totaling $1,011 million as of September 9, 2011 and $1,472 million as of December 31, 2010. Inventory totaling $18 million and $17 million as of September 9, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, primarily relates to hotel operating supplies for the limited number of properties we own or lease. We primarily record Timeshare segment interval, fractional ownership, and residential products at the lower of cost or fair market value, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, and we generally value operating supplies at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market. Consistent with recognized industry practice, we classify Timeshare segment interval, fractional ownership, and residential products inventory, which has an operating cycle that exceeds 12 months, as a current asset. In preparing our Timeshare segment to operate as an independent, publicly traded company following our proposed spin-off of the stock of MVW (see Footnote No. 17, "Planned Spin-off" for additional information), management assessed the Timeshare segment's intended use of excess undeveloped land and built inventory and the current market conditions for those assets. On September 8, 2011, management approved a plan for the Timeshare segment to accelerate cash flow through the monetization of certain excess undeveloped land and to offer incentives to accelerate sales of excess built luxury fractional and residential inventory. As the fair values of the undeveloped land and the excess built luxury fractional and residential inventory are less than their respective carrying values, we recorded an inventory impairment charge in the 2011 third quarter of $256 million to adjust the carrying value of the inventory to its fair value. Additionally, upon the approval of the plan in the 2011 third quarter, we reclassified $57 million of this undeveloped land previously in our development plans from inventory to property and equipment. See Footnote No. 14, “Timeshare Strategy-Impairment Charges,” for additional information. We show the composition of our Timeshare segment inventory balances in the following table:

As noted in Footnote No. 7, "Inventory," management approved a plan, on September 8, 2011, for the Timeshare segment to accelerate cash flow through the monetization of certain excess undeveloped land and to offer incentives to accelerate sales of excess built luxury fractional and residential inventory. As the nominal cash flows from the planned land sales and their estimated fair values are less than their carrying values, we recorded an impairment charge in the 2011 third quarter of $68 million to adjust the carrying value of the property and equipment to its fair value. Additionally, upon the approval of the plan, we reclassified $57 million of this undeveloped land previously in our development plans from inventory to property and equipment in the 2011 third quarter.

| Long-term Debt |
We provide detail on our long-term debt balances in the following table:
The non-recourse debt associated with securitized notes receivable was, and to the extent currently outstanding is, secured by the related notes receivable. All of our other long-term debt was, and to the extent currently outstanding is, recourse to us but unsecured. Other debt in the preceding table includes capital leases, among other items. On June 23, 2011, we amended and restated our multicurrency revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) to extend the facility's expiration from May 14, 2012 to June 23, 2016 and reduce (at our direction) the facility size from $2.404 billion to $1.75 billion of aggregate effective borrowings. The material terms of the amended and restated Credit Facility are otherwise unchanged, and the facility continues to support general corporate needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, and letters of credit. The availability of the Credit Facility also supports our commercial paper program. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus a spread, based on our public debt rating. We also pay quarterly fees on the Credit Facility at a rate also based on our public debt rating. While any outstanding commercial paper borrowings and/or borrowings under our Credit Facility generally have short-term maturities, we classify the outstanding borrowings as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the outstanding borrowings on a long-term basis. See the “Cash Requirements and Our Credit Facilities” caption later in this report in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for information on our available borrowing capacity at September 9, 2011. Each of our securitized notes receivable pools contains various triggers relating to the performance of the underlying notes receivable. If a pool of securitized notes receivable fails to perform within the pool’s established parameters (default or delinquency thresholds by deal) transaction provisions effectively redirect the monthly excess spread we typically receive from that pool (related to the interests we retained), to accelerate the principal payments to investors based on the subordination of the different tranches until the performance trigger is cured. During the first quarter of 2011, one pool that reached a performance trigger at year-end 2010 returned to meeting performance thresholds, while one other pool reached a performance trigger. At the end of the first quarter of 2011, this was the only pool that was still not meeting performance thresholds. This pool returned to compliance during the 2011 second quarter. At the end of the 2011 second and third quarters, there were no pools out of compliance. As a result of performance triggers, a total of $2 million in cash of excess spread was used to pay down debt during the first three quarters of 2011. At September 9, 2011, we had 13 securitized notes receivable pools outstanding. We show future principal payments (net of unamortized discounts) and unamortized discounts for our securitized and non-securitized debt in the following tables: Debt Principal Payments (net of unamortized discounts)
As the contractual terms of the underlying securitized notes receivable determine the maturities of the non-recourse debt associated with them, actual maturities may occur earlier due to prepayments by the notes receivable obligors. Unamortized Debt Discounts
We paid cash for interest, net of amounts capitalized, of $94 million in the first three quarters of 2011 and $98 million in the first three quarters of 2010. |

Guarantees We issue guarantees to certain lenders and hotel owners, primarily to obtain long-term management contracts. The guarantees generally have a stated maximum amount of funding and a term of four to ten years. The terms of guarantees to lenders generally require us to fund if cash flows from hotel operations are inadequate to cover annual debt service or to repay the loan at the end of the term. The terms of the guarantees to hotel owners generally require us to fund if the hotels do not attain specified levels of operating profit. Guarantee fundings to lenders and hotel owners are generally recoverable as loans repayable to us out of future hotel cash flows and/or proceeds from the sale of hotels. We also enter into project completion guarantees with certain lenders in conjunction with hotels and Timeshare segment properties that we or our joint venture partners are building. We show the maximum potential amount of future fundings for guarantees where we are the primary obligor and the carrying amount of the liability for expected future fundings at September 9, 2011 in the following table.
We included our liability for expected future fundings at September 9, 2011, in our Balance Sheet as follows: $4 million in the “Other current liabilities” and $60 million in the “Other long-term liabilities.” Our guarantees listed in the preceding table include $25 million of operating profit guarantees and an $11 million debt service guarantee, all of which will not be in effect until the underlying properties open and we begin to operate the properties. The guarantees in the preceding table do not include the following:
In addition to the guarantees described in the preceding paragraphs, in conjunction with financing obtained for specific projects or properties owned by joint ventures in which we are a party, we may provide industry standard indemnifications to the lender for loss, liability, or damage occurring as a result of the actions of the other joint venture owner or our own actions. Commitments and Letters of Credit In addition to the guarantees noted in the preceding paragraphs, as of September 9, 2011, we had the following commitments outstanding:
At September 9, 2011, we had $78 million of letters of credit outstanding ($74 million under our Credit Facility and $4 million outside the Credit Facility), the majority of which related to our self-insurance programs. Surety bonds issued as of September 9, 2011, totaled $202 million, the majority of which federal, state and local governments requested in connection with our lodging operations, Timeshare segment operations, and self-insurance programs. |

| Business Segments |
We are a diversified hospitality company with operations in five business segments:
In 2011, we changed the management reporting structure for properties located in Hawaii. In conjunction with that change, we now report revenues, financial results, assets, and liabilities for properties located in Hawaii in our North American segments rather than in our International segment. In addition, we now recognize in our Timeshare segment some base management fees we previously recognized in our International segment. For comparability, we have reclassified prior year segment revenues, segment financial results, and segment assets to reflect these changes. These reclassifications only affect our segment reporting, and do not change our total consolidated revenue, operating income, or net income or our total segment revenues or total segment financial results. We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, income taxes, or indirect general, administrative, and other expenses. With the exception of our Timeshare segment, we do not allocate interest income or interest expense to our segments. We include interest income and interest expense associated with our Timeshare segment notes in our Timeshare segment results because financing sales and securitization transactions are an integral part of that segment’s business. In addition, we allocate other gains and losses, equity in earnings or losses from our joint ventures, divisional general, administrative, and other expenses, and income or losses attributable to noncontrolling interests to each of our segments. “Other unallocated corporate” represents that portion of our revenues, general, administrative, and other expenses, equity in earnings or losses, and other gains or losses that we do not allocate to our segments. We aggregate the brands presented within our North American Full-Service, North American Limited-Service, International, Luxury, and Timeshare segments considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, distribution channels, the regulatory business environment of the brands and operations within each segment and our organizational and management reporting structure.

| Timeshare Strategy-Impairment Charges |
In preparing our Timeshare segment to operate as an independent, public company following our proposed spin-off of the stock of MVW (see Footnote No. 17, "Planned Spin-off" for additional information), management assessed the Timeshare segment's intended use of excess undeveloped land and built inventory and the current market conditions for those assets. On September 8, 2011, management approved a plan for the Timeshare segment to accelerate cash flow through the monetization of certain excess undeveloped land in the U.S., Mexico, and the Bahamas over the next 18 to 24 months and to accelerate sales of excess built luxury fractional and residential inventory over the next three years. As a result, in accordance with the guidance for accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, because the nominal cash flows from the planned land sales and the estimated fair values of the land and excess built luxury inventory were less than their respective carrying values, we recorded a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $324 million ($234 million after-tax) in our 2011 third quarter Income Statements under the “Timeshare strategy-impairment charges” caption. We estimated the fair value of the land by using recent comparable sales data for the land parcels, which we determined were Level 3 inputs. We estimated the fair value of the excess built luxury fractional and residential inventory using cash flow projections discounted at risk premiums commensurate with the market conditions of the related projects. We used Level 3 inputs for these discounted cash flow analyses and our assumptions included: growth rate and sales pace projections, additional sales incentives such as pricing discounts, and marketing and sales cost estimates. Grouped by product type and/or geographic location, these impairment charges consisted of $203 million associated with undeveloped land parcels in North America associated with five timeshare properties, $113 million associated with nine North American luxury fractional and mixed use properties, $2 million related to one project in our European timeshare business, and $6 million of software previously under development that will not be completed and used under our new strategy. The following table details the composition of these charges.
Additionally, upon the approval of the plan in the 2011 third quarter to dispose of certain undeveloped land parcels, we reclassified $57 million of these land parcels previously in our development plans from inventory to property and equipment. We also reviewed the remainder of our Timeshare segment inventory assets and determined that there were no other adjustments needed to their carrying values. |

In the first quarter of 2011, we contributed approximately $51 million (€37 million) in cash for the intellectual property and associated 50 percent interests in two new joint ventures formed for the operation, management and development of AC Hotels by Marriott, initially in Europe but eventually in other parts of the world. The hotels will be managed by the joint ventures or franchised at the direction of the joint ventures. As noted in Footnote No. 12, “Contingencies,” we have a right and, in some circumstances, an obligation to acquire the remaining interest in the joint ventures over the next ten years. In the first quarter of 2011, we acquired certain assets and a leasehold on a hotel for an initial payment of $34 million (€25 million) in cash plus fixed annual rent. See Footnote No. 18, “Leases,” for additional information. As noted in Footnote No. 12, “Contingencies,” we also have a right and, in some circumstances, an obligation to acquire the landlord’s interest in the real estate property and attached assets of this hotel for $65 million (€45 million) during the next three years. |

| Variable Interest Entities |
In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, we analyze our variable interests, including loans, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if an entity in which we have a variable interest is a variable interest entity. Our analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews. We base our quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity, and our qualitative analysis on our review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability, and relevant financial agreements. We also use our qualitative analyses to determine if we must consolidate a variable interest entity as its primary beneficiary. Variable interest entities related to our timeshare note securitizations We periodically securitize, without recourse, through special purpose entities, notes receivable originated by our Timeshare segment in connection with the sale of timeshare interval and fractional products. These securitizations provide funding for us and transfer the economic risks and substantially all the benefits of the loans to third parties. In a securitization, various classes of debt securities that the special purpose entities issue are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of timeshare notes receivable. We service the notes receivable. With each securitization, we may retain a portion of the securities, subordinated tranches, interest-only strips, subordinated interests in accrued interest and fees on the securitized receivables or, in some cases, overcollateralization and cash reserve accounts. At September 9, 2011, consolidated assets on our Balance Sheet included collateral for the obligations of those variable interest entities with a carrying amount of $919 million, comprised of $113 million of current notes receivable and $751 million of long-term notes receivable (each net of reserves), $5 million of interest receivable and $36 million and $14 million, respectively, of current and long-term restricted cash. Further, at September 9, 2011, consolidated liabilities on our Balance Sheet included liabilities for those variable interest entities with a carrying amount of $834 million, comprised of $4 million of interest payable, $119 million of current portion of long-term debt, and $711 million of long-term debt. The noncontrolling interest balance for those entities was zero. The creditors of those entities do not have general recourse to us. As a result of our involvement with these entities, for the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2011 we recognized $91 million of interest income, offset by $34 million of interest expense to investors. We show our cash flows to and from the timeshare notes securitization variable interest entities in the following table:
Under the terms of our timeshare note securitizations, we have the right at our option to repurchase defaulted mortgage notes at the outstanding principal balance. The transaction documents typically limit such repurchases to 10 to 20 percent of the transaction’s initial mortgage balance. We made voluntary repurchases of defaulted notes of $36 million during the first three quarters of 2011 and $49 million during the first three quarters of 2010. Our maximum exposure to loss relating to the entities that own these notes is the overcollateralization amount (the difference between the loan collateral balance and the balance on the outstanding notes), plus cash reserves and any residual interest in future cash flows from collateral. Other variable interest entities We have an equity investment in and a loan receivable due from a variable interest entity that develops and markets fractional ownership and residential interests. We concluded that the entity is a variable interest entity because the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional support from other parties. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary as power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the entity is shared among the variable interest holders, and therefore we do not consolidate the entity. In 2009, we fully impaired our equity investment and certain loans receivable due from the entity. In 2010, the continued application of equity losses to our outstanding loan receivable balance reduced its carrying value to zero. We may fund up to an additional $13 million and do not expect to recover this amount, which we have accrued and included in current liabilities. We do not have any remaining exposure to loss related to this entity. In conjunction with the transaction with CTF described more fully in Footnote No. 8, “Acquisitions and Dispositions,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2007, under the caption “2005 Acquisitions,” we manage hotels on behalf of tenant entities 100 percent owned by CTF, which lease the hotels from third-party owners. Due to certain provisions in the management agreements, we account for these contracts as operating leases. At September 9, 2011, we managed ten hotels on behalf of three tenant entities. The entities have minimal equity and minimal assets comprised of hotel working capital and furniture, fixtures, and equipment. In conjunction with the 2005 transaction, CTF had placed money in a trust account to cover cash flow shortfalls and to meet rent payments. In turn, we released CTF from its guarantees fully in connection with seven of these properties and partially in connection with the other three properties. At the end of the 2011 first quarter, the trust account had been fully depleted. The tenant entities are variable interest entities because the holder of the equity investment at risk, CTF, lacks the ability through voting rights to make key decisions about the entities’ activities that have a significant effect on the success of the entities. We do not consolidate the entities because we do not bear the majority of the expected losses. We are liable for rent payments for seven of the ten hotels if there are cash flow shortfalls. Future minimum lease payments through the end of the lease term for these hotels totaled approximately $26 million at the end of the 2011 third quarter. In addition, as of the end of the 2011 third quarter we are liable for rent payments of up to an aggregate cap of $16 million for the three other hotels if there are cash flow shortfalls. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the rent payments and certain other tenant obligations under the lease, for which we are secondarily liable. |

Planned Spin-off

| Planned Spin-off |
On February 14, 2011, we announced a plan to separate the company’s businesses into two separate, publicly traded companies. Under the plan, we expect to spin-off our timeshare operations and timeshare development business as a new independent company through a special tax-free dividend to our shareholders in late 2011. The new company will focus on the timeshare business as the exclusive developer and operator of timeshare, fractional, and related products under the Marriott brand and the exclusive developer of fractional and related products under The Ritz-Carlton brand. In the separation, we will retain the lodging management and franchise businesses. We expect to receive franchise fees totaling approximately two percent of developer contract sales plus $50 million annually for the new timeshare company’s use of the Marriott timeshare and Ritz-Carlton fractional brands. The franchise fee is also expected to include a periodic inflation adjustment. We also expect that the anticipated spin-off will result in the realization through 2015 of approximately $325 million to $350 million of cash tax benefits to Marriott, including approximately $70 million to $80 million for the 2011 full fiscal year and approximately $120 million to $130 million for the 2012 fiscal year, relating to the value of the timeshare business. For the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2011, we have already realized approximately $55 million of these cash tax benefits. For the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2011, we recognized $8 million and $13 million, respectively, of transaction-related expenses associated with the planned spin-off. We anticipate spending $40 million to $50 million in cash for the 2011 full fiscal year for transaction-related costs, some of which we expect will be capitalized. While we are not completing our typical notes securitization this year, subsequent to the end of the 2011 third quarter we have already received most of the approximately $110 million we expect to receive under the MVW warehouse facility. Combined with approximately $40 million in expected proceeds from the sale of the preferred stock of MVW's U.S. holding company, Marriott expects to receive approximately $150 million in a cash distribution prior to the completion of the spin-off. This will have no impact to Marriott's earnings. The new timeshare company, MVW, filed an initial Form 10 registration statement with the SEC on June 28, 2011, and filed amendments to that Form 10 registration statement on September 9, and September 30, 2011. We expect that the common stock of MVW will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We do not expect that MVW will pay a quarterly cash dividend or be investment grade in the near term. The transaction is subject to final approval by our board of directors, the receipt of normal and customary regulatory approvals and third-party consents, the execution of inter-company agreements, receipt of a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, arrangement of adequate financing facilities, and other related matters. We anticipate the receipt of the IRS private-letter tax ruling in early October, confirming that the distribution of shares of MVW common stock will not result in the recognition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of income, gain or loss by us or our shareholders, except, in the case of our shareholders, for cash received in lieu of fractional shares. The transaction will not require shareholder approval and will have no impact on Marriott’s contractual obligations to the existing securitizations. While we expect that the planned spin-off will be completed before year-end 2011, we cannot assure you that it will be completed on the anticipated schedule or that its terms will not change. See “Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors” for certain risk factors relating to the Planned Spin-off Risks. Because of the anticipated continuing involvement between the companies, we do not expect the planned spin-off of the timeshare operations and timeshare development business to qualify under GAAP for discontinued operations presentation in our financial statements. |
