Forward Guidance
Wyndham is not providing a complete outlook for full-year 2021 given the RevPAR uncertainties ahead.
Positive Outlook
- Net rooms growth of 1% to 2%.
- Every point of RevPAR change versus 2020 is expected to generate approximately $2.5 million of adjusted EBITDA change versus 2020. This estimate does not include impacts from license fees or the marketing funds.
- License fees are expected to be $70 million reflecting the minimum levels outlined in the underlying agreements.
- Marketing, reservation and loyalty expenses are not expected to exceed marketing, reservation and loyalty revenues. As such, the Company expects no meaningful impact to full-year 2021 adjusted EBITDA from the marketing, reservation and loyalty funds.
- The Company does not expect any meaningful special-item cash outlays in 2021.
