      Company Grows Development Pipeline by 10% and Global RevPAR by 7%

      Successfully Completes Refinancing Transaction

      Board Increases Share Repurchase Authorization by $400 Million

      PARSIPPANY, N.J., July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today 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:

      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.

      Full reconciliations of GAAP results to the Company's non-GAAP adjusted measures for all reported periods appear in the tables to this press release.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      More detailed projections are available in Table 8 of this press release.  The Company is providing certain financial metrics only on a non-GAAP basis because, without unreasonable efforts, it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of all of the adjustments or other potential adjustments that may arise in the future during the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the reported results.

      Wyndham Hotels will hold a conference call with investors to discuss the Company's results and outlook on Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 8:30 a.m. ET.  Listeners can access the webcast live through the Company's website at https://investor.wyndhamhotels.com.  The conference call may also be accessed by dialing 800 267-6316 and providing the passcode "Wyndham".  Listeners are urged to call at least five minutes prior to the scheduled start time.  An archive of this webcast will be available on the website beginning at noon ET on July 27, 2023.  A telephone replay will be available for approximately ten days beginning at noon ET on July 27, 2023 at 800 839-5124.

      Presentation of Financial Information

      Financial information discussed in this press release includes non-GAAP measures, which include or exclude certain items. These non-GAAP measures differ from reported GAAP results and are intended to illustrate what management believes are relevant period-over-period comparisons and are helpful to investors as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing the Company's ongoing operating performance.  The Company uses these measures internally to assess its 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. Exclusion of items in the Company's non-GAAP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Full reconciliations of GAAP results to the comparable non-GAAP measures for the reported periods appear in the financial tables section of this press release.

      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.

      Free Cash Flow:








      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.

      Includes proceeds of $179 million, net of transaction costs, received from the Company's sales of the Wyndham Grand Bonnet Creek Resort and the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Resort and $84 million of proceeds from CorePoint Lodging related to the Company's exit of its select-service management business.

      (b)

      The year-over-year comparability of the three months ended June 30th is impacted by $19 million of higher marketing spend and $12 million of higher development advance spend.  The year-over-year comparability of the six months ended June 30th is impacted by $21 million of higher marketing spend and $18 million of higher development advance spend, as well as the absence of $13 million due to the exit of the select-service management business and owned hotels.  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.

      NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

      (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.

      (a)

      (b)

      Excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of approximately $27 million.

      (c)

      Outlook assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 25%.

      (d)

      Excludes the impact of any share repurchases after June 30, 2023.

      (e)

      Represents the recovery of $49 million COVID support that the Company provided to its owners during 2020. The Company recovered $38 million of the $49 million support during 2021 and 2022 combined.  

      (f) 

      Represents the percentage of adjusted EBITDA that is expected to produce free cash flow. Free cash flow plus capital expenditures equals net cash from operating activities.

      (g)

      Outlook represents global RevPAR growth of 6% - 8% compared to 2019.

      In determining adjusted EBITDA, interest expense, net, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow conversion rate, we exclude certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures. We are providing these measures on a non-GAAP basis only because, without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of all the adjustments or other potential adjustments that may arise in the future during the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the reported results.

      Table 9
      WYNDHAM HOTELS & RESORTS
      DEFINITIONS

      Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS: Represents net income/(loss) and diluted earnings/(loss) per share excluding acquisition-related amortization, impairment charges, restructuring and related charges, contract termination costs, separation-related items, transaction-related items (acquisition-, disposition-, or debt-related), (gain)/loss on asset sales and foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries. The Company calculates the income tax effect of the adjustments using an estimated effective tax rate applicable to each adjustment.

      Adjusted EBITDA: Represents net income/(loss) excluding net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, early extinguishment of debt charges, impairment charges, restructuring and related charges, contract termination costs, separation-related items, transaction-related items (acquisition-, disposition-, or debt-related), (gain)/loss on asset sales, foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes and development advance notes amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

      Average Daily Rate (ADR): Represents the average rate charged for renting a lodging room for one day.

      Average Occupancy Rate: Represents the percentage of available rooms occupied during the period.

      Comparable Basis: Represents a comparison eliminating the contribution from the Company's owned hotels and select-service management business - both of which were exited in the first half of 2022, as well as the variability in its marketing funds due to the recovery of the COVID support that the Company provided to its owners during 2020.

      Constant Currency: Represents a comparison eliminating the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations between periods (foreign currency translation) and the impact caused by any foreign exchange related activities (i.e., hedges, balance sheet remeasurements and/or adjustments).

      Free Cash Flow: See Table 3 for definition.

      Net Debt Leverage Ratio: Calculated by dividing total debt less cash and cash equivalents by trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA.

      Number of Rooms: Represents the number of rooms at the end of the period which are (i) either under franchise and/or management agreements or Company-owned and (ii) properties under affiliation agreements for which we receive a fee for reservation and/or other services provided.

      RevPAR: Represents revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying average occupancy rate by ADR.

      Royalty Rate: Represents the average royalty rate earned on our franchised properties and is calculated by dividing total royalties, excluding the impact of amortization of development advance notes, by total room revenues.
