Company grows system size and record development pipeline each by 4%
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (October 22, 2025) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Highlights include:
System-wide rooms grew 4% year-over-year.
Awarded 204 development contracts globally, an increase of 24% year-over-year.
Development pipeline grew 4% year-over-year and 1% sequentially to a record 257,000 rooms.
Ancillary revenues increased 18% compared to third quarter 2024 and 14% on a year-to-date basis.
Diluted earnings per share increased 5% year-over-year to $36; adjusted diluted EPS grew 5% to $1.46, or increased 1% on a comparable basis.
Net income increased 3% year-over-year to $105 million; adjusted net income increased 2% to $112 million, or decreased 2% on a comparable basis.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 2% year-over-year to $213 million, or remained flat on a comparable basis.
Returned $101 million to shareholders through $70 million of share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends of $0.41 per share.
“Our third quarter results once again demonstrate the resilience of our business model and the consistent execution of our teams around the world,” said Geoff Ballotti, president and chief executive officer. “Amid a challenging macro backdrop, we delivered record year-to-date organic room openings, grew our global pipeline to another all-time high, and achieved double-digit growth in ancillary revenues – all while expanding our portfolio with high-quality, FeePAR-accretive hotels. As we continue to focus development on our strongest brands and markets, advance the industry’s leading technology and loyalty platforms and drive meaningful returns to shareholders, we’re positioning Wyndham for sustained growth and value creation well into 2026 and beyond.”
Reporting Methodology Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, the Company revised its reporting methodology to exclude the impact of all rooms under the Super 8 China master license agreement from its reported system size, RevPAR and royalty rate, and corresponding growth metrics. The Company’s financial results will continue to reflect fees due from the Super 8 master licensee in China, which contributed less than $3 million to the Company’s full-year 2024 consolidated adjusted EBITDA.
System Size and Development
The Company’s global system grew 4% including 2% growth in the higher RevPAR midscale and above segments in the U.S. and 7% growth in the higher RevPAR EMEA and Latin America regions.
On September 30, 2025, the Company’s pipeline consisted of approximately 2,180 hotels and 257,000 rooms, representing another record-high level and a 4% year-over-year increase. Key highlights include:
Awarded 204 new contracts, an increase of 24% year-over-year.
4% pipeline growth in the U.S. and 4% growth internationally
Approximately 70% of the pipeline is in the midscale and above segments, which grew 4% year-over-year
Approximately 17% of the pipeline is in the extended stay segment
Approximately 58% of the pipeline is international
Approximately 75% of the pipeline is new construction and approximately 36% of these projects have broken ground; rooms under construction grew 3% year-over-year
RevPAR
Third quarter global RevPAR decreased 5% in constant currency compared to 2024, reflecting declines of 5% in the U.S. and 2% internationally.
In the U.S., RevPAR performance reflected a 300 basis-point reduction in occupancy and a 200 basis-point decline in ADR. Softer results in Texas, Florida and California were partially offset by continued strength across the Midwest.
Internationally, the decrease was primarily driven by Asia Pacific, including China where RevPAR declined 10%, and Latin America, where RevPAR declined 5%. This was partially offset by 4% growth in the EMEA region and 8% growth in Canada, both primarily reflecting pricing power.
Third Quarter Operating Results The comparability of the Company’s third quarter results is impacted by marketing fund variability. The Company’s reported results and comparable-basis results (adjusted to neutralize these impacts) are presented below to enhance transparency and provide a better understanding of the results of the Company’s ongoing operations.
Fee-related and other revenues were $382 million compared to $394 million in third quarter 2024, reflecting a 5% decline in RevPAR and lower other franchise fees, partially offset by an 18% increase in ancillary revenue, royalty rate expansion both domestically and internationally and global net room growth of 4%.
The Company generated net income of $105 million compared to $102 million in third quarter 2024, primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher interest expense. Adjusted net income was $112 million compared to $110 million in third quarter 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA grew 2% to $213 million compared to $208million in third quarter 2024. This increase included a $6 million favorable impact from marketing fund variability, excluding which adjusted EBITDA remained flat on a comparable basis as lower royalties and franchise fees, along with elevated costs associated with insurance, litigation defense and employee benefits – all of which are reflective of the broader operating environment – were more than offset by cost containment measures, including both operational efficiencies and one-time variable reductions.
Diluted earnings per share increased 5% to $36 compared to $1.29 in third quarter 2024. This increase primarily reflects the benefit of a lower share count due to share repurchase activity.
Adjusted diluted EPS grew 5% to $1.46 compared to $1.39 in third quarter 2024. This increase included a favorable impact of $0.06 per share related to marketing fund variability (after estimated taxes). On a comparable basis, adjusted diluted EPS increased 1% year-over-year primarily reflecting the benefit of share repurchase activity, partially offset by higher interest expense.
During third quarter 2025, the Company’s marketing fund revenues exceeded expenses by $18 million; while in third quarter 2024, the Company’s marketing fund revenues exceeded expenses by $12 million, resulting in $6 million of marketing fund variability.
Full reconciliations of GAAP results to the Company’s non-GAAP adjusted measures for all reported periods appear in the tables to this press release.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity The Company generated $86 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $97 million of free cash flow in third quarter 2025. The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $70 million and approximately $540 million in total liquidity.
The Company’s net debt leverage ratio was 3.5 times at September 30, 2025, the midpoint of the Company’s 3 to 4 times stated target range and in line with expectations.
In October 2025, the Company refinanced its $750 million revolving credit facility, extending the maturity from April 2027 to October 2030, increasing capacity by $250 million to $1 billion, and reducing borrowing costs by 35 basis points. All other terms remain similar to the previous facility.
Share Repurchases and Dividends During the third quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 830,000 shares of its common stock for $70 million. Year-to-date through September 30, the Company repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares of its common stock for $223 million.
The Company paid common stock dividends of $31 million, or $0.41 per share, during the third quarter 2025.
Full-Year 2025 Outlook The Company is updating its full-year outlook as follows: The Company expects marketing fund expenses to exceed revenues by approximately $5 million during full-year 2025, an intentional investment the Company expects to recover in future periods.
More detailed projections are available in Table 8 of this press release. The Company is providing certain financial metrics only on a non-GAAP basis because, without unreasonable efforts, it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of all of the adjustments or other potential adjustments that may arise in the future during the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the reported results.
Conference Call Information Wyndham Hotels will hold a conference call with investors to discuss the Company’s results and outlook on Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. ET. Listeners can access the webcast live through the Company’s website at https://investor.wyndhamhotels.com. The conference call may also be accessed by dialing 800 343-4136 and providing the passcode “Wyndham”. Listeners are urged to call at least five minutes prior to the scheduled start time. An archive of this webcast will be available on the website beginning at noon ET on October 23, 2025. A telephone replay will be available for approximately ten days beginning at noon ET on October 23, 2025 at 800 939-8292.
Presentation of Financial Information Financial information discussed in this press release includes non-GAAP measures, which include or exclude certain items. These non-GAAP measures differ from reported GAAP results and are intended to illustrate what management believes are relevant period-over-period comparisons and are helpful to investors as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance. The Company uses these measures internally to assess its operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and to make day to day operating decisions, including in the evaluation of selected compensation decisions. Exclusion of items in the Company’s non-GAAP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Full reconciliations of GAAP results to the comparable non-GAAP measures for the reported periods appear in the financial tables section of this press release.

Wyndham Rewards Insider is your key to more points and perks with expansive travel savings, automatic Gold level status, double-dip points earning and more—all for just $95 a year
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (October 21, 2025) – Wyndham Rewards®, the #1–rated hotel rewards program known for its groundbreaking simplicity and generosity, is once again transforming the loyalty landscape with the launch of Wyndham Rewards Insider℠—a first-of-its-kind travel and entertainment subscription from a major hotel rewards program, designed to pay for itself in as little as one trip.
For just $95 a year, Wyndham Rewards members can now unlock perks like automatic Gold level status, concierge services and the ability to double-dip on points with select partners, all while saving on hotels, flights, car rentals, cruises and more. To receive benefits, members must book through WyndhamRewardsInsider.com.
“The world of travel rewards is changing. People today want more than just points—they want breadth, flexibility and value they can feel across every aspect of their journey. Historically, such benefits were reserved only for the travel elite, off-limits to those without high-fee, premium credit cards. Wyndham Rewards Insider flips that script, putting the power back in the hands of everyday travelers—all for less than the cost of a night out.”
– Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
More Than Rewards—A Whole New Way to Travel With Insider, Wyndham Rewards is redefining what a loyalty program can offer. The add-on subscription builds on the program’s award-winning foundation—known for its generous points earning, simple free night redemptions and accessible levels of status—while adding premium-style savings and benefits across nearly every aspect of travel.
Backed by a powerhouse roster of partners, including an all-new collaboration with Ticketmaster, Insider brings added value to everything from weekend getaways and Caribbean cruises to live concerts on the world’s biggest stages.
Among the many benefits of being a Wyndham Rewards Insider:
Hotels by Wyndham – Savings of 10% or more off standard rates on qualified stays at over 8,000 hotels.

A Subscription that Pays for Itself To celebrate the debut of Wyndham Rewards Insider, new members who sign up between now and the end of the year will receive their first 14 months for the price of 12, plus a 7,500-point bonus—enough for a free night at thousands of Hotels by Wyndham. Add that to the average annual savings across hotels, flights, car rentals, cruises and more and the subscription easily pays for itself year after year.
For example, a family of four booking a five-night all-inclusive stay next month at Wyndham Alltra Samana—with roundtrip airfare, private transfers and a full-day excursion—can save over $850 if booked as a Wyndham Rewards Insider.1 But the savings don’t stop there, even smaller trips add up. A couple booking a three-night trip to Orlando in January—including a stay at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista, roundtrip airfare, rental car and 3-day park hopper tickets to Walt Disney World® Resort—can save more than $580.2
The Most Generous Hotel Rewards Program Consistently celebrated for both its simplicity and generosity, Wyndham Rewards continues to stand out in a crowded loyalty landscape by keeping things refreshingly straightforward. Members earn a minimum 1,000 points with every qualified stay, while three simple free night redemption tiers, starting at just 7,500 points per night, help ensure rewards aren’t only easy to earn, but easy to use.
What’s more, the program offers the fastest path to elevated status, kicking in after just five nights of stays, and continues to add new partners and features.

Wyndham Championship Fore! Good
Creating positive impact in the community is a hallmark of the Wyndham Championship and Wyndham Championship Fore! Good, the tournament’s signature philanthropic platform, allows the tournament to give back to worthy causes in central North Carolina and beyond.

Helping feed children in and around central North Carolina, backpacks are packed with nutritionally-sound meals, which families take home every weekend. Just $5 can feed one child for a weekend while $150 can feed a child for an entire school year.
In addition to cash donations, Thursday through Sunday, should a PGA TOUR player make a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th hole, Wyndham Rewards will award one million points to the player and donate an additional one million points to be shared among the four charities.

Five Ovolo hotels in Australia and Hong Kong to join Wyndham’s portfolio later this year
SINGAPORE (July 29, 2025) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Ovolo Group have announced a strategic partnership that, in the coming months, will see five Ovolo hotels across Australia and Hong Kong join the Wyndham hotel brand. Under the deal—which marries Ovolo’s boutique appeal with Wyndham’s global reach and best in class infrastructure—Ovolo Group will continue to own and manage the Ovolo brand while exclusively working with Wyndham to unlock additional development opportunities throughout Asia Pacific.
The collaboration between Wyndham and Ovolo, a pioneer of the lifestyle hotel movement in Asia Pacific, comes amid booming consumer demand for experiential travel—valued by McKinsey as a $1 trillion USD opportunity globally—driven largely by younger travelers, including Gen Z.
“This partnership marks a significant milestone for Wyndham, further expanding our upscale presence in the Asia Pacific region by combining Ovolo’s strengths in the lifestyle segment with our extensive global network. The future of travel isn’t about sameness—it’s about spaces with soul, brands with a point of view and experiences that don’t blur into the background.”
– Joon Aun OOI, President of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Asia Pacific
“Ovolo isn’t just a hotel brand, it’s a lifestyle, a creative force that fuses fashion, art, music and entertainment. Since 2010, we’ve built a bold, culture-led brand that disrupts the cookie-cutter hotel experience. Now through our partnership with Wyndham, we’re flipping the script to unlock bold new growth opportunities by franchising a lifestyle brand without diluting its DNA. Wyndham is a global leader in hotel franchising—with the scale, infrastructure, and expertise to help us grow with intention and impact. Just as importantly, Ovolo brings something different—an edge and energy that complements Wyndham’s presence in the upscale lifestyle market.”
– Shivang Jhunjhnuwala, Chief of Staff, Ovolo Group
As part of the partnership, five existing Ovolo hotels, representing over 450 rooms, located in Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, and Hong Kong, are expected to officially become part of Wyndham’s global portfolio later this fall. Each will be integrated into Wyndham’s world-class sales, marketing and distribution platforms, extending their reach while creating new commercial opportunities.
The five Ovolo hotels will also participate in the Wyndham Rewards® loyalty program, giving approximately 120 million enrolled members the opportunity to explore Ovolo’s vibrant, unconventional hospitality in new lifestyle destinations around the globe.
Every Ovolo hotel is a testament to the brand’s service ethos of FUN (fabulous, unconventional, never boring)—featuring bold design, immersive art and music, and memorable experiences like nightly Apéro hour. Among the locations slated to join the Wyndham portfolio:

Rooms are spacious and design-forward, with an emphasis on modern amenities and natural light.
Ovolo Nishi, a Wyndham Hotel Nestled in the central business district of Canberra, Australia’s capital, Ovolo Nishi is a both stylish and quirky. Conveniently located steps from great shops, cafes and restaurants, the hotel is known for its eye-catching art and visually stimulating spaces. That includes each of its 85 guestrooms, which feature thoughtful amenities mixed with unique design and hand-picked, vintage pieces.
Ovolo South Yarra, a Wyndham Hotel Set in Melbourne’s fashionable South Yarra neighborhood, Ovolo South Yarra is an elevated take on pure seventies glamour. Step into one of the hotel’s 123-rooms and you’ll find contemporary conveniences paired with mid-century flair, including bold artwork, chrome finishes and vintage touches. Minutes from the city’s best bars, boutiques and late-night spots, it’s an ideal launchpad for anyone looking to unlock and discover all Melbourne has to offer.
Ovolo The Valley, a Wyndham Hotel Situated in Brisbane’s lively Fortitude Valley, the 103-room Ovolo The Valley is a multi-award-winning space celebrating art, music and Valley culture. Retro modern rooms combine stylish décor with artistic touches while some of the city’s hottest music venues, bars, galleries and cafes sit just outside the hotel’s front door.
Ovolo Woolloomooloo, a Wyndham Hotel Located on the historic Finger Wharf in Sydney, Ovolo Woolloomooloo is a 100-room waterfront hotel combining stunning views with laid-back wharf living—all just minutes from some of Sydney’s most iconic attractions. Rooms are big, bright, and come packed with modern essentials—making them a welcome retreat after a long day exploring the Emerald City.
Wyndham’s growth in Asia Pacific is powered by the Wyndham Advantage—a combination of world-class marketing, distribution and other resources designed to put owners on the path to success. Inclusive of nearly $350 million in innovative technology investments since 2018, owners have access to best-in-class technology from industry-leading providers, including next-gen property management systems, as well as the industry’s #1 rated hotel rewards program as named by readers of USA Today.
