Forward Guidance
The Company raised its full-year comparable hotel RevPAR growth guidance to 7.5% to 10.5%. Further improvement in operations will continue to depend on the broader macroeconomic environment.
Positive Outlook
- Comparable hotel RevPAR will increase 7.5% to 10.5% compared to 2022 for the low and high end of the forecast range.
- This reflects varying degrees of a slowdown in 2023, in which we expect year-over-year comparable hotel RevPAR percentage changes in the second half of the year to be up low-single digits at the midpoint of guidance.
- Comparable hotel EBITDA margins will decrease 200 to 130 basis points compared to 2022 for the low and high ends of the forecasted comparable hotel RevPAR range, respectively.
- We expect to spend approximately $600 million to $725 million on capital expenditures.
- Assumes no acquisitions and no additional dispositions during the year.
Challenges Ahead
- Potential changes in overall economic outlook make it inherently difficult to forecast the level of RevPAR.
- The amount and timing of debt payments may change significantly based on market conditions, which will directly affect the level of interest expense and net income.
- The amount and timing of transactions involving shares of our common stock may change based on market conditions.
- The Ritz-Carlton, Naples will remain closed due to Hurricane Ian through the second quarter.
- Margins are expected to decline in comparison to 2022 driven by closer to stable staffing levels, higher wages, insurance and utility expenses, lower attrition and cancelation fees, and occupancy below 2019 levels.
