Insights

Hotel industry financial analyst

Record pipeline and room growth offset by weaker RevPAR and trimmed 2025 profit outlook; operational resilience but near-term demand pressure.

Wyndham grew global rooms and its development pipeline by 4% and awarded 204 contracts (up 24%), which signals continuing unit-level expansion and future fee revenue visibility. Ancillary revenues rose 18% in the quarter, and diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA each increased modestly year‑over‑year to $1.36 and $213 million respectively, driven in part by share repurchases and cost containment.

These positives coexist with a 5% decline in global RevPAR in constant currency and regional softness (notably China 10% and Latin America 5% declines), higher interest and certain operating costs, and downward revisions to full‑year non‑GAAP profit guidance (adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income ranges tightened lower). Liquidity sits at approximately $540 million with net debt leverage at 3.5x, within the stated target range, and the refinancing of the revolver to October 2030 improves tenor and capacity.

Watch near‑term catalysts: quarterly RevPAR trends and regional performance in Asia and Latin America over the next two quarters, actual recovery of marketing fund timing versus the stated $5 million full‑year headwind, and whether free cash flow conversion and adjusted EBITDA track the updated ranges through year‑end 2025. Expect investor focus on whether pipeline growth converts into openings that offset prevailing RevPAR weakness within a 6–12 month horizon.

Company Grows System Size and Record Development Pipeline Each by 4%

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 $1.36; 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

		Rooms
		September 30, 2025		September 30, 2024		YOY Change (bps)
United States		503,400		500,600		60
International		352,000		322,600		910
Global		855,400		823,200		390

The Company's global system grew 4% including 2% growth in the higher RevPAR midscale and above segments in the U.S. and 7% growth in the higher RevPAR EMEA and Latin America regions. 

On September 30, 2025, the Company's pipeline consisted of approximately 2,180 hotels and 257,000 rooms, representing another record-high level and a 4% year-over-year increase. Key highlights include:

• Awarded 204 new contracts, an increase of 24% year-over-year.
• 4% pipeline growth in the U.S. and 4% growth internationally
• Approximately 70% of the pipeline is in the midscale and above segments, which grew 4% year-over-year
• Approximately 17% of the pipeline is in the extended stay segment
• Approximately 58% of the pipeline is international
• Approximately 75% of the pipeline is new construction and approximately 36% of these projects have broken ground; rooms under construction grew 3% year-over-year

RevPAR

		Third Quarter 2025		YOY Constant Currency  % Change
United States		$           55.07		(5 %)
International		43.11		(2)
Global		50.05		(5)

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.

2024 reported	$        394		$        102		$        208		$       1.29		$       1.39

_______________________________
NOTE: Growth rates may not recalculate due to rounding; see Table 7 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP metrics and Table 9 for definitions.
(a)	Includes estimated tax impact of marketing fund variability.

• 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 $208 million 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 $1.36 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:

		Updated Outlook		Prior Outlook
Year-over-year rooms growth		4.0% - 4.6%		4.0% - 4.6%
Year-over-year global RevPAR growth (a)		(3%) - (2%)		(2%) - 1%
Fee-related and other revenues		$1.43 - $1.45 billion		$1.45 - $1.49 billion

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.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
(In millions)
The tables below reconcile certain non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of these adjustments is intended to permit the comparison of particular adjustments as they appear in the income statement in order to assist investors' understanding of the overall impact of such adjustments. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS financial measures provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations because these measures are used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions and adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry. These measures also assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which may be recurring or non-recurring and which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. These supplemental disclosures are in addition to GAAP reported measures. These non-GAAP reconciliation tables should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

2025 OUTLOOK
As of October 22, 2025
(In millions, except per share data)
The Company is updating its full year outlook as follows:
	2025 Outlook
Fee-related and other revenues	$	1,425 – 1,445
Adjusted EBITDA		715 – 725
Depreciation and amortization expense (a)		35 – 37
Development advance notes amortization expense		31 – 33
Stock-based compensation expense		42 – 44
Interest expense, net		138 – 140
Adjusted income before income taxes		463 – 477
Income tax expense (b)		116 – 119
Adjusted net income	$	347 – 358
Adjusted diluted EPS	$	4.48 – 4.62
Diluted shares (c)		77.5
Capital expenditures		$40 – 45
Development advance notes		Approx. $110
Adjusted free cash flow conversion rate		~57%
Year-over-Year Growth
Global RevPAR (d)		(3%) – (2%)
Number of rooms		4.0% – 4.6%

___________________
(a)	Excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of approximately $27 million.
(b)	Outlook assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 25%.
(c)	Excludes the impact of any share repurchases after September 30, 2025.
(d)	Represents constant currency basis; on a reported basis, which includes foreign currency impacts, would be (4%) - (3%).

To assist with modeling, each 1% change in RevPAR equates to an approximate $10 million impact to fee-related and other revenues and $4 million to adjusted EBITDA. The impact of changes in RevPAR on the Company's marketing funds does not typically affect adjusted EBITDA as those impacts are generally offset with related cost reductions. However, when RevPAR softens sharply later in the year, that relationship becomes more difficult – and oftentimes imprudent – to maintain. Given the pace and timing of RevPAR deterioration in 2025, the Company now expects the marketing funds to overspend by approximately $5 million, or roughly $2 million per point, assuming a global RevPAR decline of 2-3%. The Company intends to recover this investment in future periods. 

In determining adjusted EBITDA, interest expense, net, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow conversion rate, we exclude certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures. We are providing these measures on a non-GAAP basis only because, without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of all 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.

Table 9
WYNDHAM HOTELS & RESORTS
DEFINITIONS

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS: Represents net income and diluted earnings per share excluding acquisition-related amortization, impairment charges, significant accelerated depreciation, restructuring and related charges, contract termination costs, separation-related items, transaction-related items (acquisition-, disposition-, or debt-related), (gain)/loss on asset sales, foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries and special tax items. The Company calculates the income tax effect of the adjustments using an estimated effective tax rate applicable to each adjustment.

Adjusted EBITDA: Represents net income excluding net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, early extinguishment of debt charges, impairment charges, restructuring and related charges, contract termination costs, separation-related items, transaction-related items (acquisition-, disposition-, or debt-related), (gain)/loss on asset sales, foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes and development advance notes amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Represents free cash flow excluding payments related to the Company's defense of an unsuccessful hostile takeover attempt and separation-related items.

Ancillary Revenues: Represents the summation of the license and other fees line item and other revenues line item per the income statement.

Average Daily Rate (ADR): Represents the average rate charged for renting a Room for one day.

Average Occupancy Rate: Represents the percentage of available Rooms occupied during the period.

Comparable Basis: Represents a comparison eliminating Marketing Fund Variability.

Constant Currency: Represents a comparison eliminating the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations between periods (foreign currency translation) and the impact caused by any foreign exchange related activities (i.e., hedges, balance sheet remeasurements and/or adjustments).

FeePAR: Represents annual royalties per franchised Room and is calculated by dividing total annual royalty revenue of the Company's franchised hotels by the number of franchised Rooms in its system size.

Free Cash Flow: Reflects net cash provided by operating activities excluding development advances, less capital expenditures. The Company believes free cash flow to be a useful operating performance measure to it and investors. This measure helps the Company and investors evaluate its ability to generate cash beyond what is needed to fund capital expenditures, debt service and other obligations. Notwithstanding cash on hand and incremental borrowing capacity, free cash flow reflects the Company's ability to grow its business through investments and acquisitions, as well as its ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases or even to delever. Free cash flow is not a representation of how the Company will use excess cash. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating Wyndham Hotels is that free cash flow does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion Rate: Represents the percentage of adjusted EBITDA that is converted to adjusted free cash flow and provides insights into how efficiently the Company is able to turn profits into cash available for use, such as for investments (including development advance notes), debt reduction, dividends or share repurchases.

Marketing Fund Variability: Relates to the quarterly timing variances from the Company's marketing funds. The Company's franchise agreements require the payment of marketing and reservation fees, and in accordance with these franchise agreements, the Company is generally contractually obligated to expend such fees for the benefit of each of its brands over time. Marketing and reservation fees earned are generally highest during the summer season when the franchised hotels have the highest occupancy and daily rates, while marketing and reservation expenses are generally highest during the first half of the year in an effort to drive higher occupancy in the summer months. Accordingly, the seasonality of the marketing and reservation revenues and expenses results in adjusted EBITDA variability during the quarters throughout the year but are designed such that on a full-year basis, the Company's marketing funds break even.

Net Debt Leverage Ratio: Calculated by dividing total debt less cash and cash equivalents by trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA.

RevPAR: Represents revenue per available franchised or managed Room and is calculated by multiplying average occupancy rate by ADR.

Rooms: Represents the number of rooms at the end of the period which are (i) either under franchise and/or management agreements, excluding all rooms associated with the Company's Super 8 master licensee in China, and (ii) properties under affiliation agreements for which the Company receives a fee for reservation and/or other services provided.

Royalty Rate: Represents the average royalty rate earned on the Company's franchised Rooms and is calculated by dividing total royalties, excluding the impact of amortization of development advance notes, by total room revenues.
