The company is adjusting its RevPAR outlook to reflect a more moderate domestic expectation amidst a changing macroeconomic backdrop.
The company's adjusted EBITDA outlook reflects an incremental contribution of approximately $6 million for the remainder of 2025 from the acquisition of Choice Hotels Canada.
The outlook information below includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses in forecasting performance. The adjusted numbers in the company's outlook below exclude the net surplus or deficit generated from reimbursable revenue from franchised and managed properties, due diligence and transition costs, additional repurchases of company stock, and other items.
These figures include the $2 million impact from the operating guarantee payment related to managed hotels incurred during the second quarter of 2025.
Domestic revenue per available room (RevPAR) decreased by 2.9% for second quarter 2025, compared to the same period of 2024, reflecting macroeconomic uncertainty and previously disclosed difficult comparisons due to the timing of Easter and eclipse-related travel in 2024. Excluding the Easter and eclipse impacts, domestic RevPAR declined approximately 1.6% for second quarter 2025, compared to the same period of 2024.
