The headline revenue softness was driven largely by lower reimbursable revenue from franchised properties, while domestic RevPAR fell 2.9%, weighed down by macroeconomic uncertainty and tough comparisons from Easter timing and eclipse-related travel demand in 2024. On an adjusted basis, however, the picture was more constructive, with adjusted EBITDA rising 2% to $164.97 million. Investors have shown concern over the RevPAR trajectory, and management acknowledged the pressure by widening its full-year domestic RevPAR growth range to -3% to 0%, though it held adjusted EBITDA guidance steady at $615 to $635 million, bolstered by an incremental $6 million contribution from its $112 million acquisition of the remaining stake in Choice Hotels Canada, a move that expands its Canadian brand portfolio from eight to 22 brands.

Key Takeaways

  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 2% to $165 million, a second quarter record

“Choice Hotels delivered another quarter of record financial performance despite a softer domestic RevPAR environment, underscoring the successful execution and diversification of our growth strategy. We are especially pleased with our strong international performance, where we have achieved significant growth and accelerated global expansion through a recent strategic acquisition, the signing of key partnerships, and entry into new markets. With more diversified growth avenues, enhanced product quality and value proposition driving stronger customer engagement, and a leading position in the cycle-resilient extended-stay segment, we remain well-positioned to deliver long-term returns for all our stakeholders.”
