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, enables the tournament to give back to worthy causes in central North Carolina and beyond.

This week, Wyndham Rewards joins the tournament and others in donating $200,000 to First Tee – Triad, while also donating a combined $100,000 to the tournament’s four backpack charities: Backpack Beginnings, Forsyth Backpacks, Out of the Garden Project and United Way of Greater High Point. 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. Over one million meals have been provided to-date.

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. Fans at Sedgefield can also show support for the tournament’s charitable partners by participating in the event’s 50/50 drawing.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (July 30, 2026) — For a century, Route 66 has been defined by neon signs, celebrated local flavors and roadside towns worth pulling over for—the very places Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and its family of more than 20 brands have welcomed travelers for generations.

That’s why this summer, in celebration of the Mother Road’s centennial, Wyndham and its award-winning loyalty program, Wyndham Rewards®, are launching Flavors of the Open Road, a limited-edition candy collection inspired by the iconic flavors found along America’s most legendary highway—from Chicago’s deep-dish pizza to Amarillo’s smoked brisket and more.

Six Stops. Six Flavors. One Legendary Road Trip
Available exclusively at WyndhamRewards.com/Route66 on August 20 at 10 a.m. ET for $19.26 (plus tax, with shipping included)—a nod to the year the Mother Road was established—the limited-edition collection brings six iconic Route 66 destinations to life through six signature flavors.

Among the six featured flavors and stops:

  • Deep-Dish Pizza (Chicago, Illinois)
    The journey begins where Route 66 originates. Inspired by Chicago’s iconic deep-dish pizza, this sweet-and-savory creation captures the signature flavors of tomato and herbs with an unexpected touch of sweetness. Grab a pie at Lou Malnati’s or Giordano’s, stroll the Chicago Riverwalk, take in the skyline from Navy Pier and spend the night at La Quinta Inn & Suites® by Wyndham Chicago Downtown.
  • Pecan Pie (Tulsa, Oklahoma)
    One of Tulsa’s sweetest traditions, this flavor captures the toasted pecans and caramelized sugar of a classic pecan pie—no plate required. Dig in at Merritt’s Bakery, cruise Tulsa’s stretch of historic Route 66, snap a photo with Buck Atom at Buck Atom’s Cosmic Curios, explore the Tulsa Arts District and stay at Days Inn® by Wyndham Tulsa Central.
  • Smoked Brisket (Amarillo, Texas)
    Bold and smoky, this unexpected candy pays tribute to the pitmasters who have made Amarillo a must-stop destination along Route 66. Savor authentic Texas barbecue at Tyler’s Barbeque, visit the iconic Cadillac Ranch, take on the famous 72-ounce steak challenge at The Big Texan Steak Ranch and recharge at Microtel® by Wyndham Amarillo West.
  • Roasted Green Chile (Albuquerque, New Mexico)
    A true taste of New Mexico, this sweet-meets-heat creation captures the state’s signature chile with roasted, earthy notes and just the right touch of sweetness. Sample the local favorite at Monroe’s or Frontier, wander the adobe-lined streets of Old Town Albuquerque, ride the Sandia Peak Tramway and call Baymont® by Wyndham Albuquerque home for the night.
  • Prickly Pear Soft Serve (Flagstaff, Arizona)
    Bright berry notes and creamy vanilla capture the nostalgic sweetness of this beloved Southwest treat. Try a prickly pear soft serve at Timberline Ice Cream, explore historic downtown Flagstaff, discover the stars at Lowell Observatory or take a scenic detour to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park—all with Super 8® by Wyndham Flagstaff as your home base.
  • Root Beer Float (Kingman, Arizona)

Company Raises Full-Year 2026 Outlook

Grows System Size by 4% and Development Pipeline by 4%


PARSIPPANY, N.J. (July 22, 2026) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.  Highlights include:

  • U.S. RevPAR grew 2% year-over-year.
  • System-wide rooms grew 4% year-over-year, excluding insolvent Revo Hospitality Group (“Revo”) rooms.
  • Development pipeline grew 4% year-over-year, excluding Revo, to a record of approximately 261,000 rooms, carrying a FeePAR premium of approximately 30% to existing domestic and international systems.
  • Net income increased 17% year-over-year to $102 million; adjusted net income increased 8% year-over-year to $111 million, or flat on a comparable basis.
  • Diluted EPS grew 20% to $36 and adjusted diluted EPS grew 11% year-over-year to $1.48, or 3% higher on a comparable basis.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% year-over-year to $212 million, or 3% higher on a comparable basis.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities increased 30% to $91 million and adjusted free cash flow increased 19% to $105
  • Returned $86 million to shareholders through $54 million of share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends of $0.43 per share.

“Our solid second-quarter results reflect the continued strength of Wyndham’s asset-light, fee-based business, bolstered by system expansion, higher ancillary revenues and accelerating U.S. RevPAR growth that exceeded our expectations — delivering comparable-basis adjusted EBITDA growth of 3%,” said Geoff Ballotti, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Record second quarter openings focused on higher FeePAR hotels in the midscale and above segments, demonstrate franchisees’ continued confidence in our brands and Wyndham’s compelling ‘Owner First’ value proposition. As domestic RevPAR trends, net rooms growth, global pipeline development and ancillary revenue streams continue to strengthen, we remain confident in our ability to deliver sustainable long-term growth and create meaningful value for our shareholders, franchisees, and guests.”

System Size and Development
Q2 System Size Table

During the preparation of its year-end 2025 financial statements, the Company learned that Revo, a large European franchisee, had filed for insolvency proceedings under self-administration for most of its operating entities. The Company removed all Revo-related revenue recognition from its 2026 outlook and reported results given the uncertainty on expected outcomes and collectability. In addition, the Company’s 2026 net room growth outlook also excluded any impact associated with Revo’s ongoing insolvency and, as such, the Company’s global net room growth metrics are also presented excluding Revo-related rooms.

The Company’s global system, excluding Revo, grew 4%.  The Company’s U.S. system grew 10 basis points sequentially and was flat year-over-year.  International growth of 10% year-over-year, excluding Revo, included 12% direct-franchised growth in the Company’s Asia Pacific region and 11% growth in the Company’s higher RevPAR EMEA and Latin America regions.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s global development pipeline increased 4% vs. prior-year, excluding Revo, to a record-high of approximately 261,000 rooms and over 2,200 hotels.  Key highlights of the Company’s pipeline include:

  • 2% growth in the U.S. and 5% growth internationally, excluding Revo
  • Approximately 69% is in the midscale and above segments
  • Approximately 17% is in the extended stay segment
  • Approximately 42% is in the U.S.
  • Approximately 78% is new construction and approximately 35% of these projects have broken ground; rooms under construction grew 4% year-over-year
  • Approximately 30% FeePAR premium compared to existing domestic and international systems

RevPAR
Q2 RevPAR Table

Second quarter global RevPAR decreased 1% in constant currency compared to 2025, reflecting 2% growth in the U.S. and a 6% decline internationally.

In the U.S., RevPAR improved 2% both year-over-year and sequentially, reflecting improved occupancy and ADR levels. Overall, U.S. RevPAR results were primarily driven by continued strength across the Midwest and both sequential and year-over-year growth in Texas, Florida and California.

Internationally, constant currency growth of 2% in Canada reflected sustained pricing power, while growth of 5% in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim primarily reflected improved demand. Growth in those regions was more than offset in Latin America, which declined 7% year-over-year primarily due to lower U.S. cross-border demand in Mexico, EMEA, which declined 6% year-over-year largely driven by the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East as well as softness in the performance of Revo hotels in its insolvency, and China, which declined by 5% year-over-year primarily due to continued deflationary pricing pressure.

Operating Results
The comparability of the Company’s second 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.

Q2 Operating Results Table

  • Net revenues declined 6% to $375 million compared to $397 million in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting the absence of pass-through revenues due to the Company’s global franchisee conference in May 2025. In addition, the decline reflected lower other franchise fees and the deferral of fees from Revo, which was partially offset by higher ancillary revenues, EBITDA-neutral revenues from the two Revo hotels the Company took possession of and global net rooms growth, excluding Revo, of 4%.
  • Net income increased 17% to $102 million compared to $87 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher adjusted EBITDA and lower restructuring and other-related costs, partially offset by increased interest expense. Adjusted net income grew 8% to $111 million compared to $103 million in the second quarter of 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $212 million compared to $195 million in the second quarter of 2025. This increase included a $11 million favorable impact from marketing fund variability, excluding which adjusted EBITDA increased 3% on a comparable basis, primarily reflecting lower general and administrative expenses driven largely by insurance recoveries, the timing of variable costs and higher ancillary revenues, partially offset by a decline in other franchise fees and the deferral of fees from Revo.
  • Diluted EPS grew 20% to $36 compared to $1.13 in the second quarter of 2025, which reflects higher net income and the benefit of a lower share count due to share repurchase activity.
  • Adjusted diluted EPS increased 11% to $1.48 compared to $1.33 in the second quarter of 2025. This increase included a favorable impact of $0.11 per share related to marketing fund variability (after estimated taxes).  On a comparable basis, adjusted diluted EPS increased approximately 3% year-over-year primarily reflecting a comparable basis increase in adjusted EBITDA and the benefit of share repurchase activity, partially offset by increased interest expense.

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 $91 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $105 million of free cash flow in the second quarter 2026. The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $69 million and $1.0 billion in total liquidity.

The Company’s net debt leverage ratio at June 30, 2026 was 3.5 times, at the midpoint of the Company’s 3-to-4 times stated target range and in-line with expectations.

Share Repurchases and Dividends
During the second quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 657,000 shares of its common stock for $54 million.

The Company paid common stock dividends of $32 million, or $0.43 per share, during the second quarter 2026.

Outlook
The Company is updating its full-year outlook as follows:

Q2 Outlook Table

The Company expects marketing fund revenues to roughly equal expenses during full-year 2026 though seasonality of spend will affect the quarterly comparisons throughout the year.

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.

Wyndham Hotels will hold a conference call with investors to discuss the Company’s results and outlook on Thursday, July 23, 2026 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 July 23, 2026.  A telephone replay will be available for approximately ten days beginning at noon ET on July 23, 2026 at 800 839-5247.

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.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (June 17, 2026) — Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has reimagined its Wyndham Rewards® credit card portfolio in partnership with Barclays, reshaping how members earn, redeem and engage with the award-winning hotel loyalty program while introducing a new premium-tier option with the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Premier Card.

Real Rewards for Real Travelers
Wyndham Rewards was built from the ground up around a simple premise: that travelers should always know what they’re earning, what their points are worth and how quickly they can use them. With Wyndham Rewards, there’s no guesswork. Members always earn 1,000 points per stay or 10 points per dollar spent on qualified stays, whichever is more, while free nights start at just 7,500 points per bedroom, per night. No dynamic pricing. No seasonal award charts. It’s a simple, generous approach to loyalty that over the last year, has only been amplified further with the launch of new program features.

Wyndham Rewards Experiences, which debuted last summer, allows members to bid and redeem points for live events and unforgettable experiences with partners like Minor League Baseball, Madison Square Garden and Caesars Rewards, while the more recent Wyndham Rewards Insider—the program’s first-ever travel subscription—delivers added member value through expansive travel savings, elevated membership status, double-dip points earning and more. Now, with the launch of the program’s fully re‑imagined credit card suite, that expanded value is easier to access and faster to realize—giving members a more direct path from everyday spending to meaningful rewards across the Wyndham Rewards ecosystem.

First native hotel app from a major economy and midscale franchisor in the U.S. builds on broader AI foundation to drive discovery, booking and owner ROI


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Wyndham is extending its AI leadership with the first native ChatGPT hotel app from a major economy and midscale franchisor in the U.S.—bringing conversational, visual discovery to travelers while supporting value creation for owners.
  • The integration builds on years of cloud-first, AI investment, forming a scalable technology foundation that enables faster innovation, broader distribution and measurable ROI for franchisees.
  • By embedding AI across its ecosystem—from call centers to Wyndham Connect to leading LLMs—Wyndham is not only helping hotel owners lower costs and drive incremental bookings but collectively tap into millions in new revenue streams.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (May 6, 2026) — As travelers increasingly turn to conversational AI to plan trips, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is extending its digital reach with a native ChatGPT app that makes hotel discovery and booking more intuitive, visual and connected. The new experience marks the first native hotel app from a major economy and midscale franchisor in the U.S. available within OpenAI’s ChatGPT, reinforcing Wyndham’s leadership in applying large language models (LLMs) to hospitality.

Built specifically for conversational search, the app allows users to explore approximately 8,400 hotels across Wyndham’s global portfolio through map-based navigation, amenity filters and interactive hotel cards, all within ChatGPT’s interface. Travelers can refine results using natural language prompts and seamlessly transition to WyndhamHotels.com to complete bookings, creating a streamlined path from inspiration to stay.

The launch represents Wyndham’s second major LLM integration. In 2025, it became the first major hotel company to go live on Anthropic’s Claude and is actively expanding its AI presence, including an upcoming integration with Google’s AI Mode. Together, these efforts position Wyndham to help shape AI-driven travel discovery while meeting travelers where they are.


“Conversational AI is reshaping how travelers discover and book. With our native ChatGPT app launch, Wyndham is helping our hotels stay at the forefront—building on years of AI investment to directly connect with guests in new ways while ensuring the experience is both intuitive and highly visual.”

– Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts


Built on a Cloud-Based AI Foundation
Wyndham’s ChatGPT app builds on the Company’s broader technology and AI strategy, rooted in years of early investment in cloud-based, mobile-first platforms that are changing how franchisees operate their hotels—helping unlock efficiencies, improve performance and drive measurable gains to their bottom line.

At the core of that strategy is a scalable technology ecosystem powered by industry-leading partners including Aven Hospitality (formerly Sabre), Oracle, Amazon, Adobe and Salesforce, among others. Since 2018, Wyndham has invested more than $450 million in technology and in 2020, became the first major hotel company to fully migrate its systems to the cloud. Those early moves established a modern, flexible foundation, enabling faster innovation, easier deployment of new capabilities and greater agility as AI reshapes hospitality.

Turning AI Innovation into Owner-ROI
Building on its foundation, Wyndham is now embedding AI across its enterprise, helping deliver measurable ROI for franchisees. For example, since launching in its call centers, AI-powered tools have aided in reducing average handle times by 7%—saving both guests and franchisees thousands of hours—while simultaneously helping improve agent training and conversion rates. Meanwhile, partnerships with established and emerging providers are helping the Company scale its intelligent marketing, drive higher guest engagement and capture more demand.

Outside of the enterprise, Wyndham is extending that same AI-driven approach directly into its hotels. Wyndham Connect, the Company’s Canary-powered guest engagement platform available at no incremental cost to franchisees, and Wyndham Connect PLUS, an enhanced version of the platform, bring a range of opt-in, AI-powered tools to hotel owners and their teams—powering guest engagement, automating routine operations and unlocking new revenue opportunities.

These platforms are already delivering measurable results, including the handling of millions of AI-driven interactions while helping drive incremental upsell revenue, reduced call volumes and increased direct bookings. The most engaged hotels last year averaged more the $60,000 in incremental revenue, with the highest performing hotel exceeding $200,000.


“As AI becomes central to how travel is planned and purchased, our focus is on translating innovation into real results for owners. Whether it’s helping reduce operating costs, drive incremental revenue or expand distribution through new platforms like ChatGPT, our goal is to enable franchisees to compete more effectively while delivering a better experience for guests.”

– Michael Mahar, SVP and Head of Commercial Technology, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.


Together, Wyndham’s AI-focused initiatives reflect a unified, forward-looking technology strategy that is already delivering measurable returns for franchisees. From incremental direct bookings and lower operating costs to collective millions in new revenue streams, Wyndham’s approach is reshaping how the Company drives value for hotel owners while making travel more seamless and personalized for guests.

Company Grows System Size by 4% and Development Pipeline to Record 2,200 Hotels
U.S. RevPAR Recovery Ahead of Expectations


PARSIPPANY, N.J., April 29, 2026 – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Highlights include:

  • System-wide rooms grew 4% year-over-year.
  • Awarded development contracts in the U.S. increased 8% year-over-year.
  • Development pipeline grew 3% year-over-year to a record of over 259,000 rooms and over 2,200 hotels.
  • S. RevPAR was flat year-over-year, 250 basis points ahead of midpoint of expectations.
  • Ancillary revenues increased 21% year-over-year.
  • Net income remained flat year-over-year at $61 million; adjusted net income increased 9% year-over-year to $73 million, or 6% lower on a comparable basis.
  • Diluted earnings per share grew 3% to $0.80 from $0.78 in the prior-year quarter and adjusted diluted EPS grew 12% year-over-year to $0.96, or 3% lower on a comparable basis.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 8% year-over-year to $156 million, or 1% lower on a comparable basis.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $42 million and free cash flow of $64
  • Returned $85 million to shareholders through $51 million of share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends of $0.43 per share.
  • Issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes, due 2033, the net proceeds of which were primarily used to fully repay then-outstanding revolver and term loan A borrowings.

“We delivered a strong start to the year, highlighted by record-level first-quarter openings and a continued expansion of our development pipeline,” said Geoff Ballotti, president and chief executive officer.  “As U.S. RevPAR in our economy and midscale segments continues to recover ahead of expectations, we approach the peak leisure summer season with increasing optimism.  We’ve never been more confident in our ability to drive sustained long-term value creation for franchisees, guests and shareholders by adding high-quality, FeePAR-accretive hotels to our portfolio, growing ancillary revenues and scaling AI to further differentiate our industry-leading technology platform.”

System Size and Development

System Size and Development Table

The Company’s global system grew 4%, including flat growth in the U.S., which includes the impact from the loss of legacy affiliated rooms, 12% direct-franchised growth in the Company’s Asia Pacific region and 9% growth in the Company’s higher RevPAR EMEA and Latin America regions.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s global development pipeline increased 3% vs. prior-year to a record-high level of over 259,000 rooms and over 2,200 hotels.  Key highlights include:

  • 3% pipeline growth in the U.S. and 2% growth internationally
  • Approximately 70% of the pipeline is in the midscale and above segments
  • Approximately 17% of the pipeline is in the extended stay segment
  • Approximately 43% of the pipeline is in the U.S.
  • Approximately 77% of the pipeline is new construction and approximately 35% of these projects have broken ground; rooms under construction grew 3% year-over-year

RevPAR

RevPAR Table

First quarter global RevPAR decreased 1% in constant currency compared to 2025, reflecting flat performance in the U.S. and a 1% decline internationally.

In the U.S., the year-over-year comparison was impacted by approximately 40 basis points of unfavorable hurricane impacts related to first quarter 2025; excluding which, RevPAR increased over 600 basis points sequentially and approximately 10 basis points year-over-year reflecting stabilized occupancy and ADR levels.  Continued strength across the Midwest and growth in Texas was partially offset by performance in Florida and California, which both improved sequentially yet declined year-over-year.

Internationally, constant currency growth of 8% in Canada reflected significant pricing power and continued demand growth, while growth of 5% in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim and 1% in EMEA each primarily reflected improved demand.  The growth in those regions was more than offset by softness in China where RevPAR improved over 500 basis points sequentially, yet declined 5% year-over-year, and Latin America, which declined 4% year-over-year primarily due to lower U.S. cross-border demand in Mexico.

Operating Results

The comparability of the Company’s first 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.

Operating Results Table

  • Net revenues grew 3% to $327 million compared to $316 million in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a 21% increase in ancillary revenues and global net room growth of 4%, partially offset by lower other franchise fees and the deferral of fees from Revo Hospitality Group (“Revo”).
  • Net income remained flat at $61 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher adjusted EBITDA offset by restructuring and other-related costs, as well as transaction-related costs resulting from the Company’s issuance of 5.625% senior unsecured notes. Adjusted net income grew 9% to $73 million compared to $67 million in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 8% to $156 million compared to $145million in the first quarter of 2025. This increase included a $13 million favorable impact from marketing fund variability, excluding which adjusted EBITDA declined 1% on a comparable basis.  This decline primarily reflects lower royalties and franchise fees and the absence of one-time cost reductions, partially offset by increased ancillary revenues.
  • Diluted EPS grew 3% to $80 compared to $0.78 in the first quarter of 2025, which primarily reflects the benefit of a lower share count due to share repurchase activity.
  • Adjusted diluted EPS increased 12% to $0.96 compared to $0.86 in the first quarter of 2025. This increase included a favorable impact of $13 per share related to marketing fund variability (after estimated taxes).  On a comparable basis, adjusted diluted EPS decreased approximately 3% year-over-year primarily reflecting a comparable basis decline in adjusted EBITDA, a marginally higher effective tax rate and increased interest expense, partially offset by the benefit of share repurchase activity.

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 $42 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $64 million of free cash flow in the first quarter 2026. The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $79 million and $1.1 billion in total liquidity, which includes the effect of the February 2026 issuance of $650 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at 5.625%.  The net proceeds from the issuance were primarily used to fully repay then-outstanding revolver and term loan A borrowings.

The Company’s net debt leverage ratio was 3.5 times at March 31, 2026, at the midpoint of the Company’s 3 to 4 times stated target range and in line with expectations.

Share Repurchases and Dividends

During the first quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 656,000 shares of its common stock for $51 million.

The Company paid common stock dividends of $34 million, or $0.43 per share, during the first quarter 2026.

Revo Update

As part of the Company’s efforts to pursue all available remedies related to Revo’s ongoing insolvency proceedings and optimize the recoverability for the Company’s shareholders, the Company exercised its rights to foreclose on and take ownership of two properties in Europe.  The Company expects these properties to generate approximately $10 million of net revenues in full-year 2026 with a limited impact to earnings as the Company works to stabilize operations and implement an asset management plan to maximize value.

Outlook

The Company is updating its full-year outlook as follows:

Outlook Table

The Company expects marketing fund revenues to roughly equal expenses during full-year 2026 though seasonality of spend will affect the quarterly comparisons throughout the year.

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, April 30, 2026 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 April 30, 2026.  A telephone replay will be available for approximately ten days beginning at noon ET on April 30, 2026 at 800 695-0715.

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.

One lucky grandparent–grandchild duo will hit the open road for a once-in-a-lifetime Route 66 adventure—just in time for the highway’s 100th anniversary

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (April 7, 2026) – This summer, buckle up—because grandma’s calling shotgun. As Route 66 marks its 100th anniversary, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and its award-winning loyalty program, Wyndham Rewards®, are bringing generations together—paying one lucky road tripper $20,000 (inclusive of a travel stipend) to hit the highway with their grandparent. Dubbed The (Grand) Mother Road Trip, the selected traveler will prove once and for all that the best travel companions might just be family.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

From retro roadside motels to quirky Americana pit stops, the duo will hit the road as open-road ambassadors, diving into the heart of Route 66 while staying at familiar favorites from the Wyndham family including, Days Inn®, Super 8®, La Quinta®, Ramada®, and Howard Johnson®, brands that have been part of the American road trip for generations. Along the way, they’ll document every twist, turn, and roadside attraction for social media—the same stretch of road, documented through two very different sets of eyes.


“Route 66 is one of the most enduring symbols of American travel, and for decades, Wyndham’s iconic roadside brands have been part of that journey. As we celebrate its centennial, this incredible road trip brings that legacy to life, handing the keys to our open-road ambassadors for an unforgettable adventure that inspires travelers everywhere to hit the road, explore new destinations, and create lasting memories.”

– Michael Shiwdin GVP, Integrated Marketing, Loyalty & Digital, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts


Buried Eldorados at Cadillac Ranch, the quirky charm of the Blue Whale of Catoosa, legendary bites at Lou Mitchell’s in Chicago, and a slice of pie at the Midpoint Café in Adrian, Wyndham’s grandparent–grandchild duo will chase down every curio, roadside oddity, and hidden gem the Mother Road has to offer. Working closely with Wyndham to craft a custom itinerary, they’ll document every mile in real time, turning each stop, every story, and all the moments in between into content that makes the rest of America wish they were in the passenger seat.

And they can be. The Route 66 centennial is an open invitation for everyone to hit the road. With hundreds of Hotels by Wyndham lining the route from Chicago to Santa Monica, every traveler has a place to pull over, recharge, and wake up ready for whatever comes next.

Milestone underscores rapid expansion across one of the Company’s fastest growing markets in Latin America

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (April 6, 2026) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is celebrating a major milestone: over 100 hotels now open across Mexico. The achievement caps a period of steady expansion in one of the Company’s key international markets, where in just five years, it has nearly doubled its footprint, adding locations in top leisure, business, and cultural destinations.

With a presence in more than 50 cities and 15 brands and a strong multi-brand pipeline of additional hotels under development, Mexico plays an important role in Wyndham’s international strategy. Powered by several years of steady domestic demand, international tourism, and sustained investment in major coastal and urban markets, Mexico continues to be a significant contributor to the Company’s international portfolio, which carries an average FeePAR premium of approximately 20% compared to the Company’s existing international system.

In 2025, Mexico welcomed roughly  47.8 million arrivals, generating nearly $35 billion USD in foreign exchange revenue—both up strongly year over year. With an aggressive goal of growing international arrivals by double digits over the next five years—the country is aiming to become one of the world’s top five most-visited destinations by 2030, helping create a powerful runway for Wyndham to capture even greater share in one of Latin America’s most vibrant travel markets.


“Mexico continues to be an important market for Wyndham and our brands continue delivering the performance owners and strategic partners rely on. That momentum is opening doors for us to grow in high-potential locations across the country. As we add new hotels, we’re staying focused on delivering exceptional guest experiences and supporting both Mexico’s iconic and quickly emerging destinations.”

— Gustavo Viescas, President, Latin America & the Caribbean, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts


Driving Expansion Across Mexico
Wyndham’s growth in Mexico is driven by a focused strategy to expand where long-term traveler demand is strongest—across both established beach destinations and fast-growing business and industrial hubs.

The Company has built scale by growing in segments that resonate most with travelers and owners alike, including midscale, upper-midscale, soft-brand independents, all-inclusive and upper-upscale resorts. This includes the introduction of the Wyndham Alltra brand in 2021, which has helped meet rising guest demand for accessible, branded all-inclusive experiences in Mexico and beyond.

Wyndham has continued to accelerate its presence in Mexico through the long-standing collaboration of key operating partners who have driven growth for many years—particularly across primary and secondary urban destinations. Groups such as Alzen, with more than 1,300 rooms; Bel Air, with more than 700 rooms; as well as Optima, Grupo Hola, FibraHotel and Fibra Inn, have each played a critical role in strengthening Wyndham’s nationwide footprint.

At the same time, the Company has expanded further through a series of multi-hotel partnerships that continue to broaden its reach across the country and beyond. Among them:


“Mexico remains one of our most active development markets. Owners value the strength of our brands, the reach of our commercial engine, and the hands-on support of our teams. As long-term interest continues growing in both established and emerging destinations, we’re continuing to expand alongside owners and partners who recognize Wyndham as the right fit for their next chapter.”

— Maria Carolina Pinheiro, VP, Development, Latin America & the Caribbean, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts


Powered by the Wyndham Advantage
Wyndham’s growth in Mexico 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 over $425 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 a growing member base of over 122 million enrolled Wyndham Rewards members globally.
