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

System Size Table
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

RevPAR Table

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.

Operating Results Table

 

  • 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:
Full Year Outlook TableThe 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.

Company Raises Full-Year 2025 EPS Outlook

Grows Development Pipeline by 5% and System Size by 4%


PARSIPPANY, N.J. (July 23, 2025) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2025.  Highlights include:

  • System-wide rooms grew 4% year-over-year.
  • Awarded 229 development contracts globally, an increase of 40% year-over-year.
  • Development pipeline grew 1% sequentially and 5% year-over-year to a record 255,000 rooms.
  • Ancillary revenues increased 19% compared to second quarter 2024 and 13% on a year-to date basis.
  • Diluted earnings per share increased 6% year-over-year to $13; adjusted diluted EPS grew 18% to $1.33, or 11% on a comparable basis.
  • Net income increased 1% year-over-year to $87 million; adjusted net income increased 13% to $103 million, or 7% on a comparable basis.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% year-over-year to $195 million, or 5% on a comparable basis.
  • Returned $109 million to shareholders through $77 million of share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends of $0.41 per share.

“We delivered another solid quarter growing our global system by 4%, expanding our development pipeline by 5%, increasing our ancillary revenues by 19%, and continuing to execute our strategy focused on higher FeePAR segments and markets, which is driving growth in both domestic and international royalty rates,” said Geoff Ballotti, president and chief executive officer. “Record first-half openings and a 40% second quarter increase in new contracts awarded reflect strong developer confidence in Wyndham’s powerful, owner-first value proposition.  Amid a softer domestic RevPAR environment, we grew comparable adjusted EBITDA by 5% and comparable adjusted EPS by 11%. We also returned nearly $110 million to shareholders this quarter — continuing to demonstrate the value-creating power of our highly cash-generative, resilient asset-light business model.  With consistent development, royalty rate, and ancillary fee growth, we remain very confident in our ability to create long-term value for our shareholders, franchisees, and team members through the enduring appeal of our iconic brands.”

Revised International Reporting Basis
As part of a recent operational review, the Company identified violations of its Super 8 master license agreement in China and issued a notice of default to the master licensee. Given the operational challenges of obtaining accurate information from this master licensee and the uncertain outcome of the compliance process, beginning this quarter, the Company has revised its reporting methodology to exclude the impact of all rooms (approximately 67,300 rooms as of March 31, 2025) under this 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.

To provide further context, the following table reflects the impact on the Company’s global growth metrics as a result of the exclusion of its Super 8 master license agreement in China:

Growth Table

The Company’s global system grew 4% including 3% growth in the higher RevPAR midscale and above segments in the U.S. and 5% growth in the higher RevPAR EMEA and Latin America regions.

On June 30, 2025, the Company’s pipeline consisted of approximately 2,150 hotels and 255,000 rooms, representing another record-high level and a 5% year-over-year increase. Key highlights include:

  • Awarded 229 new contracts, an increase of 40% year-over-year.
  • 6% pipeline growth in the U.S. and 4% growth internationally
  • Approximately 70% of the pipeline is in the midscale and above segments, which grew 5% year-over-year
  • Approximately 17% of the pipeline is in the extended stay segment
  • Approximately 58% of the pipeline is international
  • Approximately 76% of the pipeline is new construction and approximately 35% of these projects have broken ground

RevPAR

RevPAR TableSecond quarter global RevPAR decreased 3% in constant currency compared to 2024, reflecting a 4% decline in the U.S. and 1% growth internationally.

In the U.S., second quarter results included approximately 150 basis points of unfavorable impacts from the timing of the Easter holiday and the 2024 solar eclipse. Excluding these impacts, the Company’s U.S. RevPAR declined approximately 2.3% year-over-year, driven by softer demand, partially offset by a modest increase in pricing.

Internationally, RevPAR results were driven by continued pricing power, offset by a decline in occupancy. The Company continued to see strong performance in its EMEA and Latin America regions, with year-over-year growth of 7% and 18%, respectively, reflecting robust pricing power in both regions. The Company’s Canada region grew RevPAR by 7% reflecting increased room nights from Canadian guests. In China, RevPAR decreased 8% year-over-year reflecting a decline in occupancy and continued pricing pressure.

Second Quarter 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.

Operating Results Table

  • Fee-related and other revenues grew 8% to $397 million compared to $366 million in second quarter 2024, which reflects a 19% increase in ancillary revenues, higher royalties and franchise fees, as well as higher pass-through revenues due to the Company’s global franchisee conference in May.
  • The Company generated net income of $87 million, a 1% increase compared to second quarter 2024, as higher adjusted EBITDA and lower transaction-related expenses were partially offset by the absence of a benefit in connection with the reversal of a spin-off related matter, higher restructuring costs, and increased interest expense. Adjusted net income grew 13% to $103 million compared to $91 million in second quarter 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 10% to $195 million compared to $178million in second quarter 2024. This increase included an $8 million favorable impact from marketing fund variability, excluding which adjusted EBITDA grew 5% on a comparable basis, primarily reflecting increased ancillary revenues, as well as higher royalties and franchise fees, partially offset by higher operating expenses primarily related to growth in the Company’s credit card program and the absence of a benefit from insurance recoveries.
  • Diluted earnings per share increased 6% to $13 compared to $1.07 in second quarter 2024. This increase primarily reflects the benefit of a lower share count due to share repurchase activity.
  • Adjusted diluted EPS grew 18% to $1.33 compared to $1.13 in second quarter 2024. This increase included a favorable impact of $0.07 per share related to marketing fund variability (after estimated taxes). On a comparable basis, adjusted diluted EPS increased approximately 11% year-over-year, reflecting comparable adjusted EBITDA growth, the benefit of share repurchase activity and lower depreciation and amortization, partially offset by higher interest expense.
  • During second quarter 2025, the Company’s marketing fund revenues exceeded expenses by $3 million; while in second quarter 2024, the Company’s marketing fund expenses exceeded revenues by $5 million, resulting in $8 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 $70 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $88 million of adjusted free cash flow in second quarter 2025.  The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $50 million and approximately $580 million in total liquidity.

The Company’s net debt leverage ratio was 3.5 times at June 30, 2025, 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 923,000 shares of its common stock for $77 million.

The Company paid common stock dividends of $32 million, or $0.41 per share, during the second quarter 2025.

Full-Year 2025 Outlook
The Company is increasing its adjusted diluted EPS outlook to reflect the impact of second quarter share repurchase activity and increasing the low-end of its year-over-year rooms growth outlook by 40 basis points to reflect the removal of the dilutive impact from its Super 8 master licensee in China.

Full Year Outlook TableThe Company continues to expect marketing fund revenues to approximate expenses during full-year 2025 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.

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.

Exclusive development agreement supports KSA’s Vision 2030 while helping make travel more accessible throughout the Kingdom

RIYADH (14 May 2025) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with approximately 9,300 hotels spanning more than 95 countries, has entered into an exclusive development agreement with Le Park Concord Company to launch its iconic Super 8® by Wyndham brand in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With plans to open 100 hotels over the next ten years, the agreement reinforces Wyndham’s long-term commitment to quality, accessible and sustainable hospitality development in the region.

The signing was executed with the active support of the Ministry of Tourism of Saudi Arabia, further underlining the initiative’s alignment with the Kingdom’s national tourism goals.

Le Park Concord is a leading Saudi hotel operator and developer, currently managing over 900 rooms across 13 properties with an additional 13 hotels under development, expected to add more than 2,000 rooms to the company’s growing portfolio.


“Bringing Super 8 to Saudi Arabia is a strategic move to make quality, affordable travel more accessible. As tourism accelerates and millions of travellers visit the country each year, the demand for dependable, budget-friendly accommodation continues to grow, whether you are travelling for business or leisure. Our collaboration with Le Park Concord allows us to meet that need by introducing a trusted brand in key cities and along major highways. We’re excited to bring Super 8’s signature blend of affordability, stylish comfort, and sustainable modern design to one of the region’s most dynamic markets.”

– Dimitris Manikis, President, EMEA, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts


As Saudi Arabia undergoes rapid transformation under Vision 2030, Wyndham and Le Park Concord are set to meet the rising demand for quality, affordable lodging among both international visitors and a growing domestic traveller base. In 2024 alone, the Kingdom welcomed 30 million international tourists, a 9.5 percent increase from the previous year, and according to Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Tourism, that number is expected to reach 150 million annually by the end of the decade.

As part of the deal, the first Super 8® hotel is expected to debut next year, 2026. Future locations are planned along the Kingdom’s major highways and in key urban and transit hubs, including Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Al Khobar/Dammam, and surrounding areas. Many properties will feature smart modular construction and eco-conscious designs, aligning with both brands’ focus on efficiency, sustainability, and guest comfort.

Supporting a National Vision
Saudi Arabia’s strategic location, population growth, and increasing appeal to religious, leisure, and business travelers have made it a fast growing tourism destination. Despite this boom, branded economy accommodations remain underrepresented. According to Knight Frank, only 6% of the country’s hotel pipeline is in the economy and midscale segments creating a significant supply gap that Super 8® is well-positioned to address.


“Saudi Arabia’s tourism growth under Vision 2030 presents a clear need for more branded economy hotels. Our partnership with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts allows us to address this gap by combining local insight with strong and trusted international standards and the assurance of Wyndham Rewards, one of the world’s most trusted loyalty programs. Together, we will offer affordable, quality stays to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding visitor base.”

– Mr Fiaz Talal Alenezi, Chief Executive Officer, Le Park Concord Company


The Wyndham Advantage
Wyndham franchisees throughout the EMEA region benefit from 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 $350 million (USD) in innovative technology investments since becoming a public company in 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 115 million enrolled Wyndham Rewards members who make up more than a third of all check-ins globally.

Globally recognized for both quality and value, Super 8 by Wyndham is one of the world’s largest economy hotel brands, spanning multiple countries throughout the world. Just last month, Wyndham announced plans to introduce the brand to Spain and Portugal with 40 hotels slated to open across the two countries over the next 10 years.

Company Delivers Record First Quarter Openings and Development Pipeline

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (April 30, 2025) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.  Highlights include:

  • Global openings of 15,000 rooms increased 13% year-over-year, a record first quarter.
  • System-wide rooms grew 4% year-over-year.
  • Awarded 181 development contracts globally, an increase of 6% year-over-year.
  • Development pipeline grew 1% sequentially and 5% year-over-year to a record 254,000 rooms.
  • Global RevPAR grew 2% in constant currency.
  • Fee-related and other revenues increased 4% year-over-year.
  • Diluted earnings per share of $78 compared to $0.19 in the prior-year quarter and adjusted diluted EPS grew 10% year-over-year to $0.86, or 20% on a comparable basis.
  • Net income of $61 million compared to $16 million in the prior-year quarter; adjusted net income increased 5% year-over-year to $67 million, or 14% on a comparable basis.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 3% year-over-year to $145 million, or 9% on a comparable basis.
  • Returned $109 million to shareholders through $76million of share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends of $0.41 per share.

“We delivered a solid start to the year with strong system growth, record first-quarter openings and continued expansion across every region,” said Geoff Ballotti, president and chief executive officer. “While the macro environment remains uncertain, we’re staying focused on what we can control — investing in high-quality growth, executing with discipline and supporting our franchisees. Our asset-light, franchise-only business model has consistently outperformed during economic downturns and positions us well to deliver long-term value for our shareholders through all phases of any economic cycle.”

System Size and Development

System Size Table

The Company’s global system grew 4%.  Importantly, these results included 4% growth in the higher RevPAR midscale and above segments in the U.S., as well as strong growth in the Company’s higher RevPAR EMEA and Latin America regions, which grew a combined 6%.  The Company remains on track to achieve its net room growth outlook of 3.6% to 4.6% for the full year 2025.

On March 31, 2025, the Company’s global development pipeline consisted of approximately 2,140 hotels and 254,000 rooms, representing another record-high level and a 5% year-over-year increase.  Key highlights include:

  • 5% growth in the U.S. and 4% internationally
  • 19th consecutive quarter of sequential pipeline growth
  • Approximately 70% of the pipeline is in the midscale and above segments, which grew 7% year-over-year
  • Approximately 17% of the pipeline is in the extended stay segment
  • Approximately 58% of the pipeline is international
  • Approximately 77% of the pipeline is new construction and approximately 35% of these projects have broken ground
  • During first quarter 2025, the Company awarded 181 new contracts, an increase of 6% year-over-year.


RevPAR

RevPAR Table

First quarter global RevPAR increased 2% in constant currency compared to 2024, reflecting 2% growth in the U.S. and 3% growth internationally.

In the U.S., RevPAR growth includes 100 basis points of benefit from hurricanes and the timing of the Easter holiday. Excluding those factors, the Company’s U.S. RevPAR grew 60 basis points year-over-year as pricing strength was partially offset by softer demand with the pullback more pronounced during March.

Internationally, RevPAR growth was also driven by pricing power.  The Company continued to see strong performance in its EMEA and Latin America regions, with year-over-year growth of 6% and 25%, respectively, reflecting robust pricing power, partially offset by modest occupancy declines.  In China, demand remained steady but RevPAR declined 8% year-over-year reflecting continued pricing pressure.

First Quarter 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.

First Quarter Results Table

 

  • Fee-related and other revenues grew 4% to $316 million compared to $304 million in first quarter 2024, which reflects higher royalties and franchise fees and higher ancillary revenues.
  • The Company generated net income of $61 million compared to $16 million in first quarter 2024. The increase primarily reflects lower transaction-related expenses in connection with defending an unsuccessful hostile takeover attempt. Other items primarily include the absence of impairment and restructuring costs recorded in first quarter 2024, partially offset by higher interest expense. Adjusted net income grew 5% to $67 million compared to $64 million in first quarter 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 3% to $145 million compared to $141million in first quarter 2024. This increase included an $8 million unfavorable impact from marketing fund variability, excluding which adjusted EBITDA grew 9% on a comparable basis, primarily reflecting higher fee-related revenues and margin expansion.
  • Diluted earnings per share was $78 compared to $0.19 in first quarter 2024. This increase reflects higher net income and the benefit of a lower share count due to share repurchase activity.
  • Adjusted diluted EPS grew 10% to $0.86 compared to $0.78 in first quarter 2024. This increase included an unfavorable impact of $0.07 per share related to marketing fund variability (after estimated taxes).  On a comparable basis, adjusted diluted EPS increased approximately 20% year-over-year, reflecting comparable adjusted EBITDA growth, lower depreciation and amortization and the benefit of share repurchase activity, partially offset by higher interest expense.
  • During first quarter 2025, the Company’s marketing fund expenses exceeded revenues by $22 million; while in first quarter 2024, the Company’s marketing fund expenses exceeded revenues by $14 million, resulting in $8 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 $59 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $80 million of free cash flow in first quarter 2025.  The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $48 million and approximately $637 million in total liquidity.

The Company’s net debt leverage ratio was 3.5 times at March 31, 2025, 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 797,000 shares of its common stock for $76 million.

The Company paid common stock dividends of $33 million, or $0.41 per share, during the first quarter 2025.

Full-Year 2025 Outlook
The Company is refining its outlook to reflect a softer-than-expected RevPAR environment. The updated range reflects a variety of potential outcomes for the remainder of the year, from a more optimistic scenario in which the softness seen in March and April proves to be temporary, to a more cautious view that contemplates persistent pressure on demand throughout the remainder of the year.

Full Year Outlook Table

The Company continues to expect marketing fund revenues to approximate expenses during full-year 2025 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.

Exclusive Development Agreement strengthens Wyndham’s relationship with longtime franchisee while capitalising on countries’ booming tourism trends

LONDON (24 April 2025) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with 25 global brands and approximately 9,300 hotels, has signed an exclusive development agreement with Soliteight Hotel Projects SA to introduce its Super 8® by Wyndham brand to the Iberian market in Spain and Portugal. Under the agreement, Soliteight, a leading hotel development and investment firm and existing Wyndham franchisee, will develop and open 40 Super 8 hotels over the next ten years, filling a crucial gap in the region’s hospitality landscape.

Super 8, a globally recognised and leading economy brand known for its hospitality, trusted quality and great value, will cater to the increasing number of budget-conscious travelers in Spain and Portugal. The initiative comes as both countries experience record-breaking tourism growth, along with rising demand for reliable, high-quality economy accommodations. Wyndham currently operates 14 Super 8 hotels across EMEA, including locations in Germany, The UK, and Saudia Arabia.

The first hotel will open in Leiria, Portugal in Q4 2027 with additional locations to be developed in prime spots across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities including key travel hubs like airports, busy retail areas, and along popular transportation routes in smaller cities. Many of the hotels will be new construction using smart modular designed for efficiency and sustainability, staying true to the Super 8 brand’s renowned commitment to quality.


“Bringing Super 8 to Spain and Portugal is a strategic move to make quality, affordable travel more accessible. Southern Europe has a growing demand for reliable, budget-friendly accommodations and our collaboration with Soliteight allows us to meet that need. By introducing a trusted brand in key destinations, we ensure travellers can enjoy great value without sacrificing quality. We’re looking forward to bringing Super 8’s signature blend of affordability, modern comfort and sustainability to these vibrant markets.”

– Dimitris Manikis, President, EMEA, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts



Addressing Market Needs
The launch of Super 8 by Wyndham in Spain and Portugal is driven by booming tourism, shifting travel trends, and a growing demand for quality, affordable accommodations. In 2024, Spain welcomed a record 94 million international visitors, while Portugal also saw significant tourism growth. Spain’s strong economic performance, with a 3.2% GDP increase that same year, is further fueling domestic and business travel, particularly in secondary cities and emerging markets. As travellers seek options beyond basic budget stays and increasingly expensive mid-range hotels, Super 8 by Wyndham is perfectly positioned to fill this gap, offering reliable, high-quality, and affordable lodging.


Spain and Portugal continue to lag other European markets in branded economy hotels, with a 10% gap in budget brand penetration, despite a 142% surge in RevPAR since 2019. We are delighted to partner with Wyndham as the exclusive developer for Super 8 in Iberia, addressing the need for well-branded economy hotels that offer comfort, consistency, and value for both international and domestic travellers.”

– Rui Alpalhão, Chief Executive, Soliteight


The Wyndham Advantage
Wyndham franchisees throughout the EMEA region benefit from 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 over the past six years, 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 approximately 114 million enrolled Wyndham Rewards members who make up more than a third of all check-ins globally.
