These estimates are not a comprehensive statement of our results for such period, and our actual results may differ materially from these preliminary estimated results. These estimates are preliminary and unaudited and are inherently uncertain and subject to change as we complete the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the course of the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related notes, and completion of our financial close procedures for the year ended December 31, 2020, adjustments to the preliminary estimates may be identified, and such adjustments may be material. These preliminary estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles, and they should not be viewed as indicative of our results for any future period. Actual results for the year ended December 31, 2020 and future periods could differ materially from the estimates included below. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance upon this information.

Item 2.02          Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Preliminary Estimated Unaudited Operating Results as of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. ("we," "us," "our" or the "Company") is furnishing the information included in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K ("Form 8-K") to disclose certain preliminary estimated unaudited operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in a confidential preliminary offering memorandum (the "Offering Memorandum") relating to the proposed offering of senior unsecured notes described in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K.
Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are not yet complete. Accordingly, we are presenting preliminary estimates of certain operating results and liquidity information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 based upon information available to us as of the date of the Offering Memorandum. These estimates are not a comprehensive statement of our results for such period, and our actual results may differ materially from these preliminary estimated results. These estimates are preliminary and unaudited and are inherently uncertain and subject to change as we complete the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the course of the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related notes, and completion of our financial close procedures for the year ended December 31, 2020, adjustments to the preliminary estimates may be identified, and such adjustments may be material. These preliminary estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles, and they should not be viewed as indicative of our results for any future period. Actual results for the year ended December 31, 2020 and future periods could differ materially from the estimates included below. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance upon this information. Our independent registered accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to this preliminary estimated financial information and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

(1)
During the three months ended December 31, 2020, in connection with the issuances of the 3.750% Senior Notes due 2029 and the 4.000% Senior Notes due 2031 and the repayments of the 4.250% Senior Notes due 2024 and 4.625% Senior Notes due 2025, we used $76 million of available cash for fees, redemption premiums and accrued interest for amounts due from the last interest payment date through the redemption date.
(2)
On January 13, 2021, Hilton paid down $250 million of its outstanding senior secured revolving credit facility with available cash. We anticipate that we may obtain up to approximately $75 million in additional letters of credit to be issued under the senior secured revolving credit facility in January 2021.
(3)
Net unit growth is calculated as the net additional hotel rooms added to Hilton's management and franchise system during the year ended December 31, 2020, as a percentage of the total number of hotel rooms in the management and franchise system as of December 31, 2019.
(4)
Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") is calculated by dividing hotel room revenue by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. We consider RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of our performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key drivers of operations at a hotel or group of hotels: occupancy and average daily rate. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods for comparable hotels.
(5)
Calculated as RevPAR for the year ended December 31, 2020 less RevPAR for the year ended December 31, 2019, divided by RevPAR for the year ended December 31, 2019. The RevPAR balances used in this calculation are on a comparable and currency neutral basis. As such, comparisons of RevPAR for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 use the exchange rates for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic continued to have an adverse impact on our results throughout the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, 96 percent of our global hotel properties were open, while approximately 230 hotels had temporarily suspended operations. Further, due to the continued uncertainty in the expected recovery, we reviewed our assets for potential impairment each quarter of 2020. As a result of changes to our expected future cash flows, we expect to incur additional impairment charges relating to the goodwill, property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets relating to our ownership reporting unit during the three months ended December 31, 2020, and we currently estimate that the total amount will be between $100 million and $130 million.
