Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) yesterday announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Highlights include:
- Global RevPAR grew 7% compared to second quarter 2022 in constant currency.
- System-wide rooms grew 4% year-over-year.
- Development pipeline grew 1% sequentially and 10% year-over-year.
- Signings of 24,000 rooms grew 6% year-over-year and 7% compared to 2019.
- Awarded 60 new construction projects for ECHO Suites Extended Stay by Wyndham in July, including its first hotels in Canada, bringing the total number of contracts to 265.
- Returned $139 million to shareholders through $109 million of share repurchases and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share.
- Successfully completed the refinancing of its Term Loan B Facility, extending maturity from 2025 to 2030.
"During the second quarter, we celebrated the tremendous progress we've made in our five-year journey as a new public company with another quarter of solid results including global RevPAR growth of 7%, net room growth of 4% and the 12th consecutive quarter of sequential growth in our development pipeline, which has never been stronger," said Geoff Ballotti, president and chief executive officer. "International travel demand continues to accelerate, our U.S. economy brands continue to outperform the industry and our nation's infrastructure bill spend is expected to represent a meaningful tailwind for our franchisees in the months and years ahead. We remain very confident in our ability to deliver outstanding value for our franchisees and shareholders, as does our Board of Directors who today approved a $400 million increase in our share repurchase authorization, reflecting their confidence in the ongoing strength of our business and our strong free cash flow."
Second Quarter Financial Results
The comparability of the Company's second quarter results is impacted by the sale of its owned hotels and the exit of its select-service management business, both of which occurred in 2022, as well as quarterly timing variances from its marketing funds. The Company's reported results and comparable-basis results (adjusted to neutralize these impacts) are presented below to enhance transparency and provide a better understanding of the results of the Company's ongoing operations:
| Fee-related and other revenues | Net income (a) | Adjusted EBITDA | Reported diluted EPS (a) | Adjusted diluted EPS (a) | ||||||
| 2022 reported | $ 354 | $ 92 | $ 175 | $ 1.00 | $ 1.07 | |||||

| Note: | Growth rates may not recalculate due to rounding; see Table 7 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP metrics. | |||||||||
| (a) | Includes estimated tax impact for the select-service management business, owned assets and marketing fund variability. | |||||||||
- Fee-related and other revenues was $358 million compared to $354 million in second quarter 2022, which included $12 million from the Company's select-service management business and owned hotels. On a comparable basis, fee-related and other revenues increased 5% year-over-year primarily reflecting higher royalties and franchise fees resulting from global RevPAR and system growth.
- The Company generated net income of $70 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, compared to $92 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, in second quarter 2022. The decline in net income was expected and reflective of the marketing fund variability, higher interest expense and transaction-related costs primarily related to the Company's refinancing of its Term Loan B Facility. On a comparable basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share grew 10% reflecting 8% growth in comparable basis adjusted EBITDA and a lower share count due to share repurchase activity.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $158 million compared to $175 million in second quarter 2022. On a comparable basis, adjusted EBITDA increased 8% year-over-year primarily reflecting higher fee-related and other revenues.
- During second quarter 2023, the Company's marketing fund expenses exceeded revenues by $15 million; while in second quarter 2022, the Company's marketing fund revenues exceeded expenses by $12 million, resulting in $27 million of marketing fund variability.
System Size
| Rooms | ||||||
| June 30, 2023 | June 30, 2022 | YOY Change (bps) | ||||
| United States | 495,100 | 492,400 | 50 | |||
| International | 356,400 | 326,500 | 920 | |||
| Global | 851,500 | 818,900 | 400 | |||
The Company's global system grew 4%, reflecting 1% growth in the U.S. and 9% growth internationally. As expected, these increases included strong growth in both the higher RevPAR midscale and above segments in the U.S. and the direct franchising business in China, which grew 4% and 13%, respectively, as well as 80 basis points of growth globally and 200 basis points internationally from the acquisition of the Vienna House brand. The Company remains solidly on track to achieve its net room growth outlook of 2 to 4% for the full year 2023, including an increase in its retention rate compared to 2022.
RevPAR
| Second Quarter 2023 | YOY Constant Currency % Change | |||
| United States | $ 55.26 | (1 %) | ||
| International | 34.44 | 34 | ||
| Global | 46.47 | 7 |
Second quarter global RevPAR grew by 7% in constant currency compared to 2022 reflecting a 1% decline in the U.S. and growth of 34% internationally. The Company had achieved record-breaking RevPAR in the U.S. during the preceding year due to COVID-impacted travel patterns. Comparing to 2019 to neutralize for these impacts, U.S. RevPAR grew 8%, a 30 basis point acceleration from first quarter 2023 growth. The international RevPAR growth was driven equally by stronger pricing power and higher occupancy levels.
Development
- On June 30, 2023, the Company's global development pipeline consisted of nearly 1,850 hotels and approximately 228,000 rooms, representing a 10% year-over-year increase, including 22% growth in the U.S.
- Approximately 72% of the Company's pipeline is in the midscale and above segments.
- Approximately 57% of the Company's development pipeline is international.
- Approximately 81% of the Company's pipeline is new construction, of which approximately 35% has broken ground.
- During second quarter 2023, the Company awarded 179 new contracts for its legacy brands, an increase of 8% year-over-year. In July, the Company awarded 60 additional new contracts for its ECHO Suites Extended Stay by Wyndham brand to established and experienced developers, including what will be the brand's first hotels in Canada. This brings the total number of contracts awarded for the brand to 265 since its launch, or nearly 33,000 rooms.
Cash and Liquidity
The Company generated net cash provided by operating activities of $83 million and free cash flow of $74 million in second quarter 2023. The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $63 million and approximately $800 million in total liquidity.
In May 2023, the Company successfully amended and extended its outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility ("Prior Term Loan B"), which was due May 2025. The new $1.1 billion Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility ("New Term Loan B") matures in May 2030 and carries an interest rate of SOFR plus 2.25% (with a 0.10% credit spread adjustment). The net proceeds from the New Term Loan B were used to repay all outstanding principal under the Company's Prior Term Loan B.
As a result of this transaction, the Company moved its next material debt maturity to 2027 and increased its weighted average maturity from 3.2 to 6.0 years, providing significant financial flexibility to execute on the Company's strategic objectives of delivering outstanding value to its guests and franchisees while driving strong shareholder return.
Share Repurchases and Dividends
During the second quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares of its common stock for $109 million at an average price of $68.56 per share. Year-to-date through June 30, the Company repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares of its common stock for $165 million at an average price of $69.20 per share. The Company's Board of Directors recently increased the Company's share repurchase authorization by $400 million.
The Company paid common stock dividends of $30 million, or $0.35 per share.
Full-Year 2023 Outlook
The Company is refining its outlook as follows:
| Updated Outlook | Prior Outlook | |||
| Year-over-year rooms growth | 2 - 4% | 2 - 4% | ||
| Year-over-year global RevPAR growth (a) | 4 - 6% | 4 - 6% | ||
| Fee-related and other revenues | $1.38 - $1.41 billion | $1.38 - $1.41 billion | ||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $654 - $664 million | $654 - $664 million | ||
| Adjusted net income | $336 - $348 million | $340 - $352 million | ||
| Adjusted diluted EPS | $3.92 - $4.06 | $3.92 - $4.06 | ||
| Free cash flow conversion rate (b) | 50 - 55% | 50 - 55% |
| (a) | Outlook represents global RevPAR growth of 6% to 8% compared to 2019. | |||||||||
| (b) | Represents the percentage of adjusted EBITDA that is expected to produce free cash flow. | |||||||||
The reduction in adjusted net income represents an increase in interest expense due, in part, to the refinancing of the Company's Term Loan B. This impact was offset in adjusted diluted EPS by second quarter share repurchase activity.
Year-over-year growth rates are not comparable due to the sale of the Company's owned hotels and the exit of its select-service management business, both of which occurred during 2022, as well as the variability in its marketing funds due to the support that the Company provided to its owners during 2020.
The Company's expectations for full-year 2023 marketing funds contribution to adjusted EBITDA is unchanged at $10 million. The Company expects fund revenues will outpace fund expenses by $29 million in the second half of 2023 with approximately $10 million to $15 million per quarter.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) is the world's largest hotel franchising company by the number of properties, with approximately 9,100 hotels across over 95 countries on six continents.

| HISTORICAL REVENUE AND ADJUSTED EBITDA BY SEGMENT | ||||||||||
| The reportable segments presented below represent our operating segments for which separate financial information is available and is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. In identifying our reportable segments, we also consider the nature of services provided by our operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon net revenues and adjusted EBITDA. During the first quarter of 2023, we changed the composition of our reportable segments to reflect the recent changes in our Hotel Management segment, including the sale of our owned assets, the exit of our select-service management business and the exit from substantially all of our U.S. full-service management business. The remaining hotel management business, which is predominately the full-service international managed business, has been aggregated, on a prospective basis, within our Hotel Franchising segment. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of performance for our segments which, when considered with GAAP measures, allows a more complete understanding of our operating performance. We use this measure internally to assess operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and to make day to day operating decisions, including in the evaluation of selected compensation decisions. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. | ||||||||||

| We define free cash flow to be net cash provided by operating activities less property and equipment additions, which we also refer to as capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow to be a useful operating performance measure to us and investors to evaluate the ability of our operations to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures and, after debt service and other obligations, our ability to grow our business through acquisitions and investments, as well as our ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Free cash flow is not necessarily a representation of how we will use excess cash. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating Wyndham Hotels is that free cash flow does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. | |||||||

While the Company has now lapped the sale of its owned hotels and the exit of its select-service management business, the marketing fund variability will continue to impact the year-over-year comparisons for the remainder of 2023. | |||||||||

| (In millions) | |||||||||
| The tables below reconcile certain non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of these adjustments is intended to permit the comparison of particular adjustments as they appear in the income statement in order to assist investors' understanding of the overall impact of such adjustments. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS financial measures provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations because these measures are used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions and adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry. These measures also assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which may be recurring or non-recurring and which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. These supplemental disclosures are in addition to GAAP reported measures. These non-GAAP reconciliation tables should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. | |||||||||
