The primary story behind the quarter's relative resilience was strong growth in non-room revenues, which climbed 7.2% and helped offset a 1.5% decline in comparable RevPAR to $136.79, itself pressured by the extended U.S. Government shutdown that disrupted demand through October and November. GAAP net income fell sharply to $549,000 from $5.51 million a year ago, and Adjusted EBITDA slipped modestly to $80.43 million from $81.13 million. Some analysts have flagged concerns about the company's longer-term profitability trajectory, though management pointed to upcoming catalysts including the FIFA World Cup and America's 250th Anniversary celebrations as potential demand drivers; for 2026, RLJ guided Adjusted FFO per diluted share to a range of $1.21 to $1.41.

  • Outperformance of urban markets
  • Successful ramp of completed brand conversions
  • Robust non-room revenue growth of 7.2% in Q4

Q2 25 Q1 26

“We achieved solid fourth quarter results that came in ahead of our outlook despite a choppy operating environment that was further constrained by a protracted government shutdown, driven by the outperformance of our urban markets, the successful ramp of our completed conversions, robust non-room revenue growth, and benefits from our disciplined cost management efforts. These results capped a productive year for RLJ in which we advanced a number of our strategic initiatives.”
