The company reported an EPS loss of $0.07, a 12.50% beat versus the consensus estimate of $0.08, while revenue of $330.05 million topped the $324.46 million forecast by 1.72%, though revenue still fell 4.5% year-over-year. The primary culprit was a 5.1% decline in Comparable RevPAR to $138.51, weighed down by three ongoing transformative hotel renovations and the closure of the Austin Convention Center, factors that together accounted for roughly 200 basis points of negative RevPAR pressure. Adjusted EBITDA dropped 21.0% to $72.58 million and Adjusted FFO declined 32.8% to $41.10 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. Looking ahead, management trimmed its full-year 2025 outlook, now guiding for Comparable RevPAR growth of -2.6% to -1.9% and Adjusted FFO per diluted share of $1.31 to $1.37, citing the ongoing government shutdown's dampening effect on travel demand, while pointing to a more constructive setup heading into 2026.
Key Takeaways
- • Comparable RevPAR declined 5.1% due to difficult prior year comparisons, softer citywide calendars, and impact from three transformative renovations and Austin Convention Center closure (approximately 200 basis points negative impact)
- • Comparable occupancy declined 3.1% to 73.0%
- • Comparable ADR declined 2.1% to $189.74
- • Out-of-room revenues grew 1.3% driven by ROI initiatives
- • RevPAR trends improved sequentially each month of the quarter
- • Disciplined cost containment contributed to bottom-line results
