The business centers on franchise fees tied to gross room revenue, supported by a large portfolio of 22 brands across economy to upper-upscale and extended-stay segments.
In the U.S., the system ended 2025 with 6,187 properties and 496,979 rooms. U.S. royalty fees were $439.8 million in 2025, with an average royalty rate of 5.14%. System metrics showed average occupancy of 55.6%, an average daily rate of $95.05, and revenue per available room of $52.85. Internationally, 1,388 hotels with 159,846 rooms generated royalty fees of $41.3 million, largely through a mix of direct and master franchising.
The company supplements franchising with ownership of 17 hotels and management of 13 hotels, mainly to seed newer brands such as Cambria and Everhome Suites, with an intent to dispose of owned assets over time into long-term franchise agreements. Capital allocation emphasizes shareholder returns through acquisitions, share repurchases, and dividends, given modest reinvestment needs.
Choice supports franchisees with centralized marketing, the Choice Privileges loyalty program with more than 74 million members, a proprietary reservations and property management platform, and purchasing partnerships aimed at enhancing RevPAR and lowering operating costs. The company also highlights human capital initiatives for approximately 1,754 associates and an emphasis on culture, inclusion, and leadership development.

The company returned $189.3 million to shareholders and ended 2025 with $571.4 million in available liquidity.
