The headline driver was a dramatic margin expansion story: Q4 operating margin surged to 29.1% from just 15.0% a year earlier, fueled by the ongoing asset-light transformation that pushed management and franchise revenue to 56.2% of Legacy-Huazhu segment sales, up from 49.3% in fiscal 2024. Net income attributable to the company rocketed to $1.17 billion in the quarter, compared to just $49.00 million in the prior-year period, with Legacy-DH swinging to an Adjusted EBITDA of $329.00 million from a loss of $247.00 million. Analysts covering H World will now parse guidance calling for 2%-6% total revenue growth in fiscal 2026, with M&F revenue expected to climb 12%-16% as the company targets 2,200-2,300 new hotel openings.

“2025 marked our 20th anniversary. I am pleased to see that we opened a total of 2,444 new hotels throughout the year, representing another year of rapid network expansion. More importantly, driven by our ongoing product upgrades and a series of revenue management optimization initiatives, our RevPAR year-on-year performance started to improve from the third quarter and returned to positive growth in the fourth quarter. Looking ahead, we will continue to pursue high-quality hotel network expansion, strengthen our brand positioning and 'service excellence', enhance member-centric sales capabilities underpinned by the H Rewards membership program, and further deepen technology and AI empowerment.”
