Marriott International, Inc. reported second quarter 2026 results.
Anthony Capuano, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We delivered another quarter of excellent results, reflecting strong travel demand, the power of our brands, and sustained development momentum. Global RevPAR increased 3.4 percent in the second quarter, with continued ADR strength. In the U.S. & Canada, RevPAR rose 5 percent, driven by broad-based increases across chain scales and customer segments.
“International RevPAR declined 0.5 percent in the quarter, as headwinds from the conflict in the Middle East more than offset solid RevPAR growth across our other international regions. In EMEA, RevPAR declined over 5 percent, with an increase in Europe outweighed by a 43 percent decline in the Middle East. APEC RevPAR increased over 5 percent, supported by solid leisure demand and robust intra-regional travel, while Greater China RevPAR increased over 3 percent, driven by strong performance across our luxury portfolio and key markets like Hong Kong, Taiwan and Hainan. With the outperformance in the second quarter and strong broad-based demand generally expected to continue, we are raising our full year expectation to 3 to 3.5 percent global RevPAR growth.
“Development activity remained strong, with record global signings in the first six months of the year. Our industry-leading global pipeline grew to approximately 629,000 rooms at quarter-end, up nearly 7 percent from the year-ago quarter. Conversions remained an important driver of growth, representing over a third of signings and 40 percent of openings in the first half of the year.
“The Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, which grew to more than 295 million members at quarter-end, continues to drive demand, deepen member engagement and create value across our global portfolio. We recently executed new long-term agreements for our co-branded credit card program in the U.S. with JPMorgan Chase and American Express. These agreements further strengthen Marriott Bonvoy and deliver incremental value to our hotel owners, our cardholders and loyalty program members, and our shareholders.
“With our global scale, powerful portfolio of brands, industry-leading Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, and dedicated associates, we are well positioned to meet the evolving needs of travelers seeking exceptional stays and memorable experiences. Supported by our robust pipeline and disciplined execution, we remain confident in our ability to deliver sustainable, long-term growth.”
Second Quarter 2026 Results
Franchise and base management fees totaled $1,366 million in the 2026 second quarter, a 14 percent increase compared to franchise and base management fees of $1,200 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher co-branded credit card fees, rooms growth and higher RevPAR.
Incentive management fees totaled $212 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $200 million in the 2025 second quarter, driven by strong year-over-year growth in the U.S. & Canada, partially offset by declines in EMEA. Managed hotels in international markets contributed over half of the incentive fees earned in the quarter.
Owned, leased, and other revenue, net of owned, leased, and other expense2, totaled $49 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $78 million in the 2025 second quarter. The decline primarily reflected a $27 million property-related litigation accrual ($20 million after-tax impact and $0.08 per share after-tax) as well as lower termination fees.
Depreciation, amortization, and other expenses totaled $115 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $53 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by a $68 million impairment charge recorded in connection with our sale of a U.S. & Canada hotel, which is excluded from our Adjusted results.
General and administrative expenses2 for the 2026 second quarter totaled $220 million, compared to $210 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting higher compensation costs, driven in part by timing.
Interest expense, net, totaled $201 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $191 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense associated with higher debt balances, partially offset by higher interest income.
In the 2026 second quarter, the provision for income taxes totaled $278 million, compared to $291 million in the 2025 second quarter.
Marriott’s reported operating income totaled $1,229 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to 2025 second quarter reported operating income of $1,236 million. Reported net income totaled $766 million in the 2026 second quarter, flat compared to 2025 second quarter reported net income of $763 million. Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) totaled $2.90 in the quarter, compared to reported diluted EPS of $2.78 in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted operating income in the 2026 second quarter totaled $1,329 million, compared to 2025 second quarter Adjusted operating income of $1,186 million. Second quarter 2026 Adjusted net income totaled $844 million, compared to 2025 second quarter Adjusted net income of $728 million. Adjusted diluted EPS in the 2026 second quarter totaled $3.19, compared to Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.65 in the year-ago quarter.
Second quarter 2026 Adjusted results excluded cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, restructuring and merger-related recoveries/charges, and other expenses, and certain impairment charges. See the press release schedules for the calculation of Adjusted results and the manner in which the Adjusted measures are determined in this press release.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) totaled $1,592 million in the 2026 second quarter, a 13 percent increase compared to second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $1,415 million. See the press release schedules for the Adjusted EBITDA calculation.
