Wyndham Hotels (NYSE: WH) 2025 results, dividend hike and 2026 outlook

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts reported 2025 results showing mixed trends. Global system-wide rooms grew 4% to 868,900 and the development pipeline reached a record 259,000 rooms across about 2,200 hotels. Ancillary revenues rose 15% to an all-time high.

Full-year net income fell 33% to $193 million, and diluted EPS decreased 31% to $2.50, mainly from non-cash impairment and Revo-related charges. However, adjusted net income increased to $353 million, adjusted diluted EPS rose 6% to $4.58, and adjusted EBITDA grew to $718 million.

Global RevPAR declined 3% in constant currency, driven by a 4% drop in the U.S., while international RevPAR was flat with strength in EMEA and Latin America offset by softness in Asia Pacific and China. The company generated $367 million in operating cash flow and $433 million in adjusted free cash flow, returning $393 million to shareholders through $266 million of buybacks and dividends of $0.41 per share. The Board approved a 5% dividend increase to $0.43 per share and issued 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA of $730–$745 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $4.62–$4.80, with expected room growth of 4.0%–4.5% and global RevPAR between -1.5% and 0.5%.

Insights

Lodging sector equity analyst

Solid adjusted earnings and cash generation offset GAAP hits and U.S. RevPAR weakness.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts grew its system 4% to 868,900 rooms and expanded its record pipeline to 259,000 rooms, underscoring continued unit growth despite softer U.S. demand. Ancillary revenues climbed 15%, and adjusted EBITDA rose to $718 million, up 3%.

GAAP results were pressured by Revo-related impairment and charges, driving net income down 33% to $193 million and diluted EPS to $2.50. Yet adjusted diluted EPS increased 6% to $4.58, with a 3% global RevPAR decline mainly from a 4% U.S. drop, while EMEA and Latin America grew.

The company produced $367 million in operating cash flow and $433 million in adjusted free cash flow, returning $393 million via buybacks and dividends. For 2026, management guides to adjusted EBITDA of $730–$745 million, adjusted EPS of $4.62–$4.80, modest global RevPAR of -1.5% to 0.5%, and 4.0%–4.5% room growth, suggesting a steady, though not rapid, trajectory.

WYNDHAM HOTELS & RESORTS REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

Company Increases Quarterly Dividend by 5% and

Provides Full-Year 2026 Outlook

PARSIPPANY, N.J., February 18, 2026 - Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025. Highlights include:

•System-wide rooms grew 4% year-over-year.

•Awarded 870 development contracts globally in 2025, an increase of 18% year-over-year and an all-time high.

•Development pipeline grew 3% year-over-year and 1% sequentially to a record 259,000 rooms.

•Ancillary revenues increased 15% on a full-year basis - achieving an all-time high.

•Full-year 2025 diluted EPS decreased 31% to $2.50 from $3.61 primarily reflecting non-cash impairment and other-related charges; however, adjusted diluted EPS increased 6% to $4.58, or approximately 6% on a comparable basis.

•Full-year 2025 net income decreased 33% to $193 million from $289 million primarily reflecting non-cash impairment and other-related charges; however, adjusted net income increased 2% to $353 million, or approximately 2% on a comparable basis.

•Full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA increased 3% to $718 million, or 4% on a comparable basis - in line with the Company's expectations.

•Net cash provided by operating activities of $367 million and adjusted free cash flow of $433 million.

•Returned $393 million to shareholders for the full-year through $266 million of share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends of $0.41 per share.

•Board of Directors recently authorized a 5% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.43 per share beginning with the dividend expected to be declared in the first quarter 2026.

"Our teams around the world opened a record 72,000 rooms, delivered 4% global net room growth and grew our global development pipeline to a record 259,000 rooms," said Geoff Ballotti, president and chief executive officer. "Despite continued negative U.S. RevPAR pressure, we grew full-year comparable-basis adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS in 2025 by 4% and 6%, respectively, generated adjusted free cash flow of more than $430 million and returned nearly $400 million to shareholders. As demand trends improve and RevPAR stabilizes, we remain confident in our long-term strategy while creating compounding value for franchisees, guests and shareholders.”

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 approximately $2 million to the Company's full-year 2025 consolidated adjusted EBITDA.

System Size and Development

						Rooms
						December 31, 2025						December 31, 2024						YOY Change (bps)
United States						505,100						501,800						70
International						363,800						333,900						900
Global						868,900						835,700						400

The Company's global system grew 4%, including 1% growth in the U.S. and 7% growth in the Company's higher RevPAR EMEA and Latin America regions.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's global development pipeline increased 3% vs. prior-year to a record-high level of approximately 2,200 hotels and 259,000 rooms. Key highlights include:

•3% pipeline growth in both the U.S. and internationally

•Approximately 70% of the pipeline is in the midscale and above segments, which grew 3% year-over-year

•Approximately 17% of the pipeline is in the extended stay segment

•Approximately 42% of the pipeline is in the U.S.

•Approximately 77% of the pipeline is new construction and approximately 36% of these projects have broken ground; rooms under construction grew 3% year-over-year

RevPAR

						Fourth Quarter 2025						YOY Constant Currency % Change						Full-Year 2025						YOY Constant Currency % Change
United States						$	42.91					(8		%)				$	48.44					(4		%)
International						36.96						(1)						38.13						—
Global						40.36						(6)						44.12						(3)

Fourth quarter global RevPAR decreased 6% in constant currency compared to 2024, reflecting declines of 8% in the U.S. and 1% internationally.

In the U.S., fourth quarter results included approximately 140 basis points of unfavorable hurricane impacts; excluding which, RevPAR declined approximately 610 basis points year-over-year reflecting a 360 basis-point reduction in occupancy and a 250 basis-point decline in ADR. Softer results in Florida, Texas and California were partially offset by continued strength across the Midwest.

2

Internationally, constant currency growth of 7% in EMEA and 6% in Latin America, each reflected both improved demand and pricing power, while growth of 1% in Canada was driven by pricing power, partially offset by lower demand. The growth in those regions was more than offset by softness in Asia Pacific, including China where RevPAR declined 10%.

For the full-year, global RevPAR decreased 3% in constant currency compared to 2024, in line with the Company's outlook, reflecting a 4% decline in the U.S. and flat growth internationally. U.S. results reflected a 270 basis-point reduction in occupancy and a 120 basis-point decline in ADR.

Operating Results

Fourth Quarter

The comparability of the Company’s fourth 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.

			Fee-related and other revenues						Net income/ (loss)(a)						Adjusted EBITDA						Reported diluted earnings/ (loss) per share(a)						Adjusted diluted EPS(a)
2024 reported			$	341					$	85					$	168					$	1.08					$	1.04
2025 reported			334						(60)						165						(0.80)						0.93
Change			(7)						(145)						(3)						(1.88)						(0.11)
Less: Marketing fund variability			n/a						(6)						(7)						(0.08)						(0.07)
Comparable growth			$	(7)					$	(139)					$	4					$	(1.80)					$	(0.04)
Comparable growth rate			(2%)						NM						2%						NM						(4%)

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 $334 million compared to $341 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting a 5% decline in RevPAR and lower other franchise fees, partially offset by a 19% increase in ancillary revenue and global net room growth of 4%.

•The Company generated a net loss of $60 million compared to net income of $85 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting impairment and other-related costs, lower adjusted EBITDA and higher interest expense. Adjusted net income was $71 million compared to $82 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

•Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2% to $165 million compared to $168 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This decrease included a $7 million unfavorable impact from expected marketing fund variability, excluding which adjusted EBITDA grew 2% on a comparable basis. This growth primarily reflects increased ancillary revenues and cost containment measures, including both operational efficiencies and one-time variable reductions, partially offset by lower royalties and franchise fees and elevated

3

costs associated with insurance, litigation defense and employee benefits - all of which are reflective of the broader operating environment.

•The Company generated diluted loss per share of $0.80 compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.08 in the fourth quarter of 2024, which primarily reflects lower net income, partially offset by the benefit of a lower share count due to share repurchase activity.

•Adjusted diluted EPS decreased 11% to $0.93 compared to $1.04 in the fourth quarter of 2024. This decrease included an unfavorable impact of $0.07 per share related to marketing fund variability (after estimated taxes). On a comparable basis, adjusted diluted EPS decreased approximately 4% year-over-year primarily reflecting a higher effective tax rate, as expected, as well as higher interest expense, partially offset by comparable adjusted EBITDA growth and the benefit of share repurchase activity.

Full-Year

The comparability of the Company’s full-year 2025 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.

			Fee-related and other revenues						Net income(a)						Adjusted EBITDA						Reported diluted EPS(a)						Adjusted diluted EPS(a)
2024 reported			$	1,404					$	289					$	694					$	3.61					$	4.33
2025 reported			1,429						193						718						2.50						4.58
Change			25						(96)						24						(1.11)						0.25
Less: Marketing fund variability			n/a						(2)						(2)						(0.02)						(0.02)
Comparable growth			$	25					$	(94)					$	26					$	(1.09)					$	0.27
Comparable growth rate			2%						(33%)						4%						(30%)						6%

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 grew 2% to $1.43 billion compared to $1.40 billion in full-year 2024 which reflects a 15% increase in ancillary revenues, higher pass-through revenues due to the Company's global franchisee conference and a 4% increase in global net room growth, partially offset by a 3% decline in RevPAR.

•Net income decreased 33% to $193 million compared to $289 million in full-year 2024, reflecting higher impairment and other-related costs, higher interest expense and the absence of a benefit in connection with the reversal of a spin-off related matter, which were partially offset by higher adjusted EBITDA and lower transaction-related expenses in connection with defending an unsuccessful hostile takeover attempt. Adjusted net income was $353 million compared to $347 million in full-year 2024.

•Adjusted EBITDA grew 3% to $718 million compared to $694 million in full-year 2024. This increase included a $2 million unfavorable impact, as expected, from marketing fund variability, excluding which adjusted EBITDA grew 4% on a comparable basis, primarily reflecting higher revenues and cost containment measures, including both operational efficiencies and one-time variable reductions, which

4

were partially offset by 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.

•Diluted earnings per share decreased 31% to $2.50 compared to $3.61 in full-year 2024, which primarily reflects lower net income, partially offset by the benefit of a lower share count due to share repurchase activity.

•Adjusted diluted EPS grew 6% to $4.58 compared to $4.33 in full-year 2024. This increase included an unfavorable impact of $0.02 per share, as expected, related to marketing fund variability (after estimated taxes). On a comparable basis, adjusted diluted EPS increased approximately 6% year-over-year reflecting comparable adjusted EBITDA growth and the benefit of share repurchase activity, partially offset by higher interest expense.

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 $367 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $433 million of adjusted free cash flow in 2025. The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $64 million and $840 million in total liquidity.

The Company’s net debt leverage ratio was 3.5 times at December 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 fourth quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares of its common stock for $43 million. For the full-year 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 3.1 million shares of its common stock for $266 million.

The Company paid common stock dividends of $31 million, or $0.41 per share, during the fourth quarter 2025 for a total of $127 million, or $1.64 per share, for the full-year 2025.

For the full-year 2025, the Company returned $393 million to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends.

The Company's Board of Directors recently authorized a 5% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.43 per share, beginning with the dividend expected to be declared in first quarter 2026.

Impairment and Other Charges

During the preparation of its year-end 2025 financial statements, the Company learned that a large European franchisee, Revo Hospitality Group ("Revo") has filed for insolvency proceedings under self-administration for most of its operating entities.

As a result, the Company has evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of assets associated with Revo as of December 31, 2025 and has recorded charges of $74 million within operating expenses and $48 million

5

within impairment on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) to reflect the net realizable value on the Company's balance sheet.

Additionally, as a result of Revo's insolvency proceedings and in the process of performing its quantitative assessments for impairment on its intangible assets, the Company determined that a portion of its Vienna House trademark and related-franchise agreements were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $38 million to reduce the carrying value of those assets to their estimated fair values.

Starting in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company began deferring all revenues related to Revo due to uncertainty around collectability. These revenues will continue to accrue and will only be recognized as revenues following a period after which collections from Revo are deemed probable. The table below includes information about revenue recognition related to Revo for the periods presented:

						Full-Year 2024						Full-Year 2025 (a)
Royalties and franchise fees						$ 15						$ 12
Marketing, reservation and loyalty fees (b)						8						8
Total fee-related and other revenues (c)(d)						$ 23						$ 20

(a)    Reflects deferral of fourth quarter revenues related to Revo due to uncertainty around collectability.

(b)    These fees are expected to approximate expenses on a full-year basis.

(c)    Excludes development advance notes amortization.

(d)    Approximately 22,000 rooms operated by Revo remain under the Company's brands and distributed on its channels as of December 31, 2025. As such, they will remain in the Company's global room count and RevPAR operating statistics for so long as the underlying agreements remain in effect. The historical impact of Revo's net room additions on the Company's global annual organic net room growth has been immaterial.

Outlook

The Company provided the following outlook for full-year 2026:

						2026 Outlook
Year-over-year rooms growth (a)						4.0% - 4.5%
Year-over-year global RevPAR growth (b)						(1.5%) - 0.5%
Fee-related and other revenues						$1.46 - $1.49 billion
Adjusted EBITDA (c)						$730 - $745 million
Adjusted net income						$354 - $368 million
Adjusted diluted EPS						$4.62 - $4.80
Free cash flow conversion rate						55% - 60%

(a)    Excludes any potential room termination impact associated with Revo's ongoing insolvency.

(b)    Represents constant currency basis; on a reported basis, which includes foreign currency impacts, would be (1.5%) - 0.5%.

(c)    Includes the effects of the deferral of $12 million of royalties and franchise fees from Revo and the inclusion of $15 million of previously disclosed one-time variable cost reductions made in 2025; excluding which comparable basis growth rate would be 5% - 7%.

The Company expects marketing fund revenues to roughly equal expenses during full-year 2026 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.

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.

Number of rooms (f)						4.0% - 4.5%

(a)    Includes the effects of the deferral of $12 million of royalties and franchise fees from Revo and the inclusion of $15 million of previously disclosed one-time variable cost reductions made in 2025; excluding which comparable basis growth rates would be 5% - 7%.

(b)    Excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of approximately $26 million.

(c)    Outlook assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 25%.

(d)    Excludes the impact of any share repurchases after December 31, 2025.

(e)    Represents constant currency basis; on a reported basis, which includes foreign currency impacts, would be (1.5%) - 0.5%.

(f) Excludes any potential room termination impact associated with Revo's ongoing insolvency.

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. If a significant pullback in demand were to materialize beyond the Company's current assumptions, actual results could fall below these estimates.

In determining adjusted EBITDA, interest expense, net, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and 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.

DEFINITIONS

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS: Represents net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share excluding acquisition-related amortization, impairment and other-related charges (including Revo-related charges), significant accelerated depreciation, restructuring and other-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 (loss) excluding net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, early extinguishment of debt charges, impairment and other-related charges (including Revo-related charges), restructuring and other-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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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.

Free Cash Flow Conversion Rate: Represents the percentage of adjusted EBITDA that is converted to 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.
