29/04/2026 21:39

Overview

U.S. hotel franchisor's Q1 adjusted EPS and adjusted net income beat analyst expectations

Q1 revenue rose 3% yr/yr, driven by 4% system-wide room growth and higher ancillary revenue

Company returned $85 mln to shareholders via share repurchases and dividends in Q1

Outlook

Wyndham Hotels sees 2026 net revenues of $1.47 bln to $1.50 bln, up from prior $1.46 bln to $1.49 bln

Company expects 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $730 mln to $745 mln

Wyndham forecasts 2026 adjusted diluted EPS of $4.62 to $4.80

Result Drivers

ROOM GROWTH - 4% global system-wide room growth, led by international expansion, contributed to revenue increase

ANCILLARY REVENUES - 21% year-over-year increase in ancillary revenues supported overall revenue growth

LOWER ROYALTIES AND FEES - Decline in royalties and franchise fees and absence of one-time cost reductions weighed on comparable adjusted EBITDA
