Parsippany, New Jersey - Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, despite revenue falling short of forecasts, as the hotel franchisor navigates a challenging RevPAR environment.

Following the announcement, Wyndham’s stock price dipped slightly by 0.3%.

The company’s fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share were $0.93, surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.90, while revenue totaled $334 million, below the expected $337.54 million.

Global RevPAR for the quarter, calculated at constant exchange rates, declined 6% compared to 2024, with U.S. RevPAR down 8% and international RevPAR down 1%. U.S. performance was impacted by approximately 140 basis points of hurricane-related adverse effects.

Despite RevPAR challenges, Wyndham’s system-wide hotel count increased 4% year-over-year to 868,900 rooms. The company’s development pipeline grew 3% year-over-year to a record 259,000 rooms, with 870 development agreements signed in 2025, an 18% increase from the previous year.

President and CEO Geoff Ballotti stated, “Our global team opened a record 72,000 rooms, achieving 4% global net room growth, and increased our global development pipeline to a record 259,000 rooms. Despite ongoing pressure on RevPAR in the U.S., we grew adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS on a full-year comparable basis by 4% and 6%, respectively.”

For the full year 2025, the company expects adjusted diluted EPS of $4.58 to $4.80, compared to $4.33 in 2024, representing a 6% increase. Adjusted EBITDA is projected to grow 3% to $718 million.

During the fourth quarter, Wyndham repurchased approximately 600,000 shares for $43 million and paid $31 million in dividends. The board approved a 5% increase in quarterly cash dividends to $0.43 per share.

Looking ahead, Wyndham provided full-year 2026 guidance, expecting adjusted EPS of $4.62 to $4.80, below the consensus estimate of $4.97. The company anticipates global RevPAR growth between -1.5% and 0.5%, with room count increasing by 4.0% to 4.5%.
