Company Increases Dividend 100%

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (February 10, 2021) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020.  Highlights include:

  • Diluted loss per share for the quarter was $0.08 and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.07; diluted loss per share for the full-year was $1.42 and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.03.
  • Net loss for the quarter was $7 million and adjusted net income was $7 million; net loss for the full-year was $132 million and adjusted net income was $96 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $56 million for the quarter and $327 million for the full-year.
  • Global comparable RevPAR for the quarter declined 33% year-over-year; global comparable RevPAR for the year declined 35% year-over-year.
  • System-wide rooms declined 4% year-over-year.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities for the full-year was $67 million and free cash flow was $34 million.
  • Paid quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share in fourth quarter, and Board of Directors recently authorized a 100% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.16 per share beginning with the dividend expected to be declared in first quarter 2021.
  • Repaid all remaining revolver credit facility borrowings.

“We generated strong adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow in the worst year our industry has ever experienced.  At the same time, we strengthened our portfolio with the completion of our strategic termination plan and drove sequential growth in hotel openings and our development pipeline,” said Geoffrey A. Ballotti, president and chief executive officer. “Our non-urban, drive-to economy and midscale hotels, combined with our ongoing investment in sales and marketing, captured rising pent-up leisure travel demand, which continued to produce sequential RevPAR improvements and domestic market share gains for our franchisees over the course of 2020.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Operating Results
Revenues declined from $492 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 to $296 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.  The decline includes lower pass-through cost-reimbursement revenues of $70 million, which have no impact on adjusted EBITDA, in the Company’s hotel management business.  Excluding cost-reimbursement revenues, revenues declined $126 million primarily reflecting a 33% decline in comparable RevPAR and the impact from hotels temporarily closed due to COVID-19, as well as a $15 million decline in license and other fees also reflecting the impact of COVID-19 on travel demand globally.

The Company generated a net loss of $7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $64 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease of $71 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, was primarily due to the RevPAR and license fee declines, as well as excess marketing fund spend, which were partially offset by cost containment initiatives, lower volume-related expenses and the absence of transaction-related expenses. 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.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Business Segment Discussion
The following discussion of fourth quarter operating results focuses on revenue and adjusted EBITDA for each of the Company’s segments.

Hotel Franchising

Hotel Franchising Table

The Company’s franchised system declined 3% primarily reflecting the Company’s previously announced removal of approximately 18,500 non-compliant and brand detracting rooms.  In addition, net franchised rooms includes approximately 7,800 rooms that were transferred from the hotel management segment primarily related to the CorePoint Lodging asset sales, which were partially offset by the deletion of approximately 5,300 low-royalty rooms in connection with the sale of certain hotels by a strategic partner.

RevPAR declined 33% globally reflecting a 28% decline in the U.S. and a 43% decline internationally.  On a comparable basis, which is in constant currency and excludes hotels temporarily closed due to COVID-19, global RevPAR declined 31% reflecting a 28% decline in the U.S. and a 40% decline internationally.

Revenues decreased $98 million compared to fourth quarter 2019 reflecting the impact of COVID-19 on travel demand globally, while a decline in adjusted EBITDA of $76 million further reflected excess marketing fund spend, partially mitigated by cost containment initiatives and lower volume-related expenses.

Hotel Management

Hotel Management Table

The Company’s managed system declined 19% primarily reflecting approximately 7,800 rooms that were transferred to the hotel franchising segment primarily as a result of CorePoint Lodging asset sales.  Excluding the transfer of these rooms, the Company’s managed system decreased 7% primarily reflecting the Company’s previously announced removal of approximately 2,900 unprofitable management guarantee hotel rooms.

RevPAR declined 44% globally, domestically and internationally.  On a comparable basis, which excludes hotels temporarily closed due to COVID-19, global RevPAR declined 43%, including a 44% decline in the U.S. and a 42% decline internationally.

Revenues decreased $96 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to lower cost-reimbursement revenues, which have no impact on adjusted EBITDA.  Absent cost-reimbursements, revenues decreased $26 million due to the unfavorable impact of COVID-19 on travel demand globally.  Adjusted EBITDA declined $22 million as the RevPAR impacts were partially mitigated by lower volume-related expenses.

Full-Year 2020 Operating Results
Revenues declined from $2,053 million in 2019 to $1,300 million in 2020.  The decline includes lower pass-through cost-reimbursement revenues of $273 million, which have no impact on adjusted EBITDA, in the Company’s hotel management business.  Excluding cost-reimbursement revenues, revenues declined $480 million primarily reflecting a 35% decline in comparable RevPAR and the impact from hotels temporarily closed due to COVID-19, as well as a $47 million decline in license and other fees also reflecting the impact of COVID-19 on travel demand globally.

The Company generated a net loss of $132 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, in 2020 compared to net income of $157 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, in 2019.  The decline of $289 million, or $3.04 per diluted share, was primarily due to the revenue decline, impact of the non-cash impairment charges and excess marketing fund spend, which were partially offset by cost containment initiatives, lower volume-related, separation-related and transaction-related expenses and the absence of contract termination expenses. 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.

Development
As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s hotel system of over 8,900 properties and approximately 796,000 rooms declined 4% year-over-year primarily reflecting unusual termination events resulting in the deletion of approximately 26,700 rooms, comprised of 18,500 non-compliant, brand detracting rooms, 5,300 rooms in connection with the strategic partner hotel sales and 2,900 unprofitable management guarantee rooms.  As a result, the Company’s global retention rate declined 330 basis points year-over-year to 91.5%.

The Company awarded over 580 new contracts this year and its development pipeline at year-end consisted of approximately 1,400 hotels and approximately 185,000 rooms, growing sequentially by 120 basis points domestically and 20 basis points globally.  Approximately 64% of the Company’s development pipeline is international and 75% is new construction, of which 34% have broken ground.

Cash and Liquidity
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company repaid all remaining borrowings under its revolving credit facility.  Accordingly, the Company’s cash balance decreased $242 million since September 30, 2020 to $493 million as of December 31, 2020.  The Company had over $1.2 billion in total liquidity available as of December 31, 2020.

The Company generated $67 million of net cash provided by operating activities in 2020 and $34 million of free cash flow in 2020.  Excluding $66 million of special-item cash outlays, primarily relating to the Company’s restructuring initiatives, as well as transaction-related and separation-related cash payments, adjusted free cash flow in 2020 was $100 million.

Dividends
The Company paid common stock dividends of $7 million, or $0.08 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2020.  For the full-year, the Company paid $53 million, or $0.56 per share, in common stock dividends.

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 100% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.16 per share from $0.08 per share, beginning with the dividend that is expected to be declared in the first quarter of 2021.

2021 Projections
The Company is not providing a complete outlook for full-year 2021 given the RevPAR uncertainties ahead; however, provided below is the Company’s best view of certain operating statistics and financial metrics for full-year 2021:

  • Net rooms growth of 1% to 2%.
  • Every point of RevPAR change versus 2020 is expected to generate approximately $2.5 million of adjusted EBITDA change versus 2020. This estimate does not include impacts from license fees or the marketing funds.
  • License fees are expected to be $70 million reflecting the minimum levels outlined in the underlying agreements.
  • Marketing, reservation and loyalty expenses are not expected to exceed marketing, reservation and loyalty revenues. As such, the Company expects no meaningful impact to full-year 2021 adjusted EBITDA from the marketing, reservation and loyalty funds.
  • The Company does not expect any meaningful special-item cash outlays in 2021.

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, February 11, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. ET.  Listeners can access the webcast live through the Company’s website at www.investor.wyndhamhotels.com.  The conference call may also be accessed by dialing 877 876-9173 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 February 11, 2021.  A telephone replay will be available for approximately ten days beginning at noon ET on February 11, 2021 at 800 723-7372.

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.

Amid U.S. dog adoption surge, offers guests $30 off their first Rover pet care service with any qualified hotel stay

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (January 28, 2021) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with approximately 9,000 hotels across 90 countries, today announced a new tail-wagging deal perfect for new pet parents in need of getaway. The well-known hotel company has teamed up with Rover, the nation’s largest network of five-star pet sitters and dog walkers, offering U.S. guests $30 off their first Rover pet service when they book a qualified stay at any By Wyndham hotel.

The timely collaboration comes as the U.S. experiences a surge in dog adoptions, sales and fostering amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, a recent poll of pet parents by Rover noted that nearly half had recently acquired a new dog during the pandemic. And a separate survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association, found that roughly two-thirds of American families own a pet, which they spent $96 billion on in 2019, a figure that many expect will only continue to grow. In working together, Wyndham and Rover hope to help everyday travelers save money and reduce travel anxiety—particularly as they think about traveling with, or away from, their new four-legged family members.

“With thousands of pet-friendly locations across the country, our hotels have always been a go-to for families with pets.” said Lisa Checchio, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Many travelers are eager to start planning that next getaway. Our new partnership with Rover and their range of pet services will help pet owners take the guess work out of travel – helping them care for their pets at home or on the great American road trip.”

Rover counts more than 300,000 sitters among its network and connects pet owners with services such as dog boarding, house sitting, dog walking, doggy day care, drop-in visits and grooming in select markets. All new sitters pass a background check, provide a detailed profile and personal information, and are approved by Rover’s team of sitter specialists. Pet parents can find loving care in their neighborhood or on-the-road, making them the perfect complement to Wyndham’s more than 4,500 pet-friendly hotels across the U.S., including those under well-known brands like La Quinta® by Wyndham, Baymont® by Wyndham, Super 8® by Wyndham and Howard Johnson® by Wyndham, to name just a few.

“In joining forces with Wyndham, we’re making it easier for pet owners to travel with or without their pet. This serves our mission of making it easier for everyone to experience the love of a pet in their lives,” said Kate Jaffe, Trends Expert at Rover. “Wyndham’s pet-friendly hotels allow traveling pet parents to easily accommodate their pets. But not all travel activities are pet-friendly. That’s where Rover can help, offering peace of mind to travelers with easy to find, trusted local pet care.”

Promotional offer of $30 off is available only to new Rover customers and requires a qualified stay at any participating By Wyndham hotel. Travelers must book direct with Wyndham to qualify for the offer and complete their stay by December 31, 2021. Pet policies vary by hotel and may include certain restrictions on the type, size, and number of pets allowed. Additional hotel fees may apply. Learn more at www.wyndhamhotels.com/rover.

Three-day flash sale offers travelers big savings on stays through September 30, 2021 when booked via Wyndham’s all-new mobile app

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (January 26, 2021) – In celebration of National Plan for Vacation Day, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts—the world’s largest hotel franchising company with approximately 9,000 hotels across 90 countries—today announced a new three-day, mobile app flash sale, offering travelers 25 percent off the Best Available Rate on upcoming stays of two nights or more at thousands of hotels across the U.S.

The sale comes on the heels of a recent survey of Americans by the U.S. Travel Association where 97% of respondents said that having a trip planned makes them happier while 84% said they’re excited to plan a vacation in the next six months. National Plan for Vacation Day takes place on the last Tuesday in January and encourages Americans to plan their vacation days for the year.

“Travelers want to get away and our hotels are ready to welcome them,” said Lisa Checchio, chief marketing officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Whether it’s getting that first trip on the books or planning an entire year’s worth of vacation, whatever travelers are excited to check out this year, they can book and stay with confidence.  And chances are, there’s a hotel by Wyndham just 10 minutes away.”

“National Plan for Vacation Day is the perfect opportunity for Americans to renew their love of travel and to look ahead to better days,” said U.S. Travel President and CEO Roger Dow.

Wyndham launched its new mobile app last fall after carefully listening to the needs of guests. Designed to meet rising expectations, the app provides access to streamlined booking and lower contact, in-stay features like mobile check-in and checkout—a feature Wyndham was the first to rollout at scale across more than 6,000 economy and midscale hotels. Other app features include personalized experiences, Wyndham Rewards® account management, gamification and unique offerings like Lightning Book®, which makes it easy to book the nearest Wyndham hotel for the night in as a few as three taps.

Added Checchio, “Our new mobile app delivers the features everyday travelers want and at a scale no other hotel company can offer.”

To take advantage of Wyndham’s latest flash sale, deal-seekers must first download the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ mobile app, available in the Apple App and Google Play stores. Simply tap the Mobile App Flash Sale offer on the app’s home screen to access the offer. Membership in Wyndham Rewards, which is free to join, is required for the offer, and non-members can quickly enroll as part of the booking process. A two-night minimum stay is required and stays must be completed by September 30, 2021. Bookings may be cancelled free of penalty up to 72-hours before a stay.
