Choice Hotels International announced a CEO transition. Patrick S. Pacious has stepped down as President and Chief Executive Officer and will serve as an advisor through August 31, 2026 to support the handover.
The Board appointed Dominic E. Dragisich, Chief Growth & Strategy Officer, as Interim CEO effective May 20, 2026, and launched a search for a permanent CEO, considering internal and external candidates. In connection with his new role, Dragisich will receive a $500,000 cash bonus payable on December 31, 2026, contingent on continued employment, and a time-vesting restricted stock unit award valued at $500,000 that vests on the one-year anniversary of grant.
Under a transition and separation agreement, Pacious will continue to receive salary, benefits and continued vesting of incentive compensation during the transition period, with separation benefits generally aligned to his previously disclosed severance arrangements. The company also reaffirmed its full-year 2026 financial outlook.
Choice Hotels International reported softer first-quarter results for 2026, with profit pressured by higher costs and affiliate losses despite modest revenue growth. Total revenues inched up to $340.6 million from $332.9 million, but net income fell to $20.3 million from $44.5 million and diluted EPS declined to $0.44 from $0.94.
Operating income dropped to $60.0 million from $79.9 million, hurt by a larger reimbursable deficit, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, and increased depreciation and amortization, including from the Choice Hotels Canada acquisition and four newly opened owned hotels. Equity in net loss of affiliates widened to $6.3 million, reflecting losses from investments supporting Cambria and Everhome development.
Operating cash flow swung to an outflow of $23.2 million from an inflow of $20.5 million, mainly due to higher franchise agreement acquisition payments, working capital timing, and a larger reimbursable deficit. Long-term debt rose to $2.0 billion, including $566.3 million drawn on the $1 billion revolving credit facility, with a total leverage ratio of 3.04x. U.S. system-wide RevPAR declined 2.3%, led by weaker economy and extended-stay performance, while international royalties grew on system expansion and the full consolidation of Choice Hotels Canada.
Choice Hotels International reported first quarter 2026 results showing modest revenue growth but lower profits versus last year, while keeping its full-year outlook unchanged. Total revenues reached a record $340.6 million, with revenue excluding reimbursable costs up 3% to $216.7 million.
Net income declined to $20.3 million, or diluted EPS of $0.44, while adjusted EBITDA was $125.7 million and adjusted diluted EPS $1.07, both below 2025 levels. Global net rooms rose 1.7%, U.S. openings hit a five-year first-quarter high, and global franchise agreements awarded jumped 72%. The company returned $75.2 million to shareholders and reiterated 2026 guidance, including adjusted EPS of $6.92–$7.14 and adjusted EBITDA of $632–$647 million, while planning a sharp reduction in hotel development capital outlays.
Choice Hotels International is soliciting proxies for its 2026 virtual annual meeting, where shareholders will vote on electing eleven directors, an advisory say-on-pay resolution, expanding the Board size range to five to fifteen seats, and ratifying Ernst & Young LLP as auditor.
