Did HTHT Beat Earnings? Q1 2025 Results
H World Group delivered a softer-than-expected first quarter, with earnings per share of $2.85 falling 5.53% short of the $3.02 consensus and revenue of $5.39 billion missing estimates by 2.53%, though the top line still managed 2.2% year-over-year g… Read more H World Group delivered a softer-than-expected first quarter, with earnings per share of $2.85 falling 5.53% short of the $3.02 consensus and revenue of $5.39 billion missing estimates by 2.53%, though the top line still managed 2.2% year-over-year growth and landed within the company's own guidance range of 0% to 4%. The clearest drag on same-hotel performance came from China, where blended RevPAR slipped 3.9% to RMB 208 and same-hotel RevPAR fell 8.3% on weaker average daily rates and softer occupancy, reflecting the macroeconomic headwinds CEO Jin Hui flagged as an ongoing concern. Yet the structural story remained intact: manachised and franchised revenue surged 21.1%, reinforcing the asset-light pivot, while net income jumped 35.7% year-over-year to $894 million, partly aided by a $208 million foreign exchange gain. The company added 694 gross hotel openings in China during the quarter, keeping its full-year target of roughly 2,300 openings within reach, and guided Q2 revenue growth of 1% to 5%, with the higher-margin franchise segment again expected to grow 18% to 22%.
Key Takeaways
- • Continued hotel network expansion with 694 gross openings in Q1 2025
- • Manachised and franchised revenue grew 21.1% YoY driven by asset-light network expansion
- • Operating margin improvement to 20.1% from 19.0% due to higher manachised/franchised revenue mix
- • Legacy-DH blended RevPAR increased 12.7% YoY in EUR terms with 5.3 percentage-point occupancy gain
- • RMB 208 million foreign exchange gain vs RMB 92 million loss in prior year
- • Legacy-DH restructuring and cost optimization drove 11.1% decline in DH SG&A

“During the first quarter of 2025, we continued our rapid network expansion with 694 new hotel openings in China, and on track to achieve our full-year target of approximately 2,300 gross hotel openings. However, we maintain an overall cautious stance amid ongoing tariff and macroeconomic uncertainties. To achieve sustainable long-term growth, we will continue advancing our asset-light strategy, focusing on high-quality network expansion, enhancing brand positioning and 'service excellence', and strengthening sales capabilities centred around our H Rewards membership program.”
