  • Wyndham U.S. RevPAR grew 2 percent in Q2.
  • Global pipeline reached record 261,000 rooms.
  • Net income rose 17 percent to $102 million.
WYNDHAM HOTELS & RESORTS had a solid second quarter as its U.S. business grew faster than expected and its global hotel pipeline reached a record high. International performance, however, remained weaker.

U.S. RevPAR rose 2 percent to $54.50 in the quarter, with room rates and occupancy both improving compared to the same period last year. The Midwest performed particularly well, with Texas, Florida and California also posting growth.

International RevPAR fell 6 percent, bringing global RevPAR down 1 percent to $47.01, excluding the impact of currency exchange rates, Wyndham said in a statement. Net income rose 17 percent to $102 million, adjusted EBITDA grew 9 percent to $212 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 11 percent to $1.48.


"Record second quarter openings focused on higher-value hotels in the midscale and above segments demonstrate franchisees' continued confidence in our brands,” said Geoff Ballotti, Wyndham president and CEO. “As U.S. RevPAR trends, net rooms growth, global pipeline development and ancillary revenue streams continue to strengthen, we remain confident in our ability to deliver sustainable long-term growth.”

Wyndham's global hotel portfolio reached 873,400 rooms as of June 30, with international rooms up 8 percent year over year. Excluding Revo, global room growth was 4 percent year over year.

The pipeline grew 4 percent year over year to a record 261,000 rooms in more than 2,200 hotels, with nearly 70 percent of rooms in the midscale and above segments and around 78 percent in new construction. About 35 percent of those projects had already broken ground. Wyndham paid $86 million to shareholders through share buybacks and quarterly dividends of $0.43 per share.

The development pipeline excluded properties tied to Revo. The European franchisee filed for insolvency under self-administration for most of its operating entities. Wyndham removed all Revo-related revenue recognition from its 2026 outlook and reporting and also excluded Revo rooms from its net room growth figures because of uncertainty over the outcome.

Revenue comparisons were affected by one-time revenue from the company's global franchisee conference in the second quarter of 2025. Net revenue fell to $375 million from $397 million a year earlier, while the company continued to report growth in key earnings metrics.

Wyndham became the first major U.S. economy and midscale hotel franchiser to launch a native ChatGPT app.
