系統範圍內的房間同比增長了4%。

我們全球團隊再次取得了出色的業績,執行了我們的長期增長策略,在可比調整後的EBITDA上實現了7%的增長,這得益於持續的系統擴張、更高的特許權使用費率以及輔助收入的增長,”首席執行官Geoff Ballotti表示。本季度我們在國內授予的特許經營契約多了10%,推動了我們開發管線的5%增長。穩定的RevPAR趨勢和持續改善的比較,再加上增加的基礎設施需求,預計將爲未來幾個季度的業績改善鋪平道路。我們一如既往地堅定執行我們的長期策略,旨在爲我們的客人、特許經營商和股東提供卓越的價值,截至目前,我們已通過股息和股份回購形式返還了近38000萬美元給股東。

公司的全球體系增長了4%,其中美國增長了1%,國際增長了8%。如預期的那樣,其中包括美國高級別RevPAR中檔和以上細分市場增長了3%,以及公司的歐洲、中東、非洲和拉丁美洲地區增長了11%。公司繼續提高客房保留率,並牢固地朝着實現2024年全年淨客房增長預期爲3%至4%的目標穩步前進。
2024年9月30日,公司的全球發展項目組合包括約2,100家酒店和248,000間客房,創下了另一個創紀錄的水平,同比增長5%。主要亮點包括:
美國增長了7%,國際增長了3%

在美國,該公司中檔及以上檔次的客房平均每間每晚收益(RevPAR)與去年持平,而經濟檔次的RevPAR下降了2%,這反映出與第二季度相比略有加快,順序改善了10個點子。此外,該公司在美國的經濟品牌繼續增強其地位,在第三季度,由石油和燃料幣市場表現帶動,市場份額增長了50個點子,而在五個基礎設施製造行業支出最高的州,市場份額集體增長了80個點子。美國的入住率保持穩定,突顯了精選服務空間的彈性和消費者對這些產品的需求。
在國際上,公司的歐洲、中東、非洲、拉丁美洲和加拿大地域板塊的RevPAR總體上增長了13%,這要歸功於持續的定價能力提升,ADR增長了11%,以及入住率增長了2%。由於入住率減少2%和ADR下降5%,公司的亞太地區RevPAR下降了7%。值得注意的是,亞太地區第三季度的RevPAR表現代表了500個點子的順序改善。
第三季度經營成果
與2023年第三季度的40000萬元相比,收費相關和其他收入爲39400萬元,其中包括與公司2023年全球特許經營商年會相關的1800萬元的轉嫁收入,排除這部分後,收費相關和其他收入增長了3%。收費相關和其他收入的增長反映了版稅和特許權使用費以及附屬收入的增加。
公司2023年第三季度的淨利潤爲10200萬美元,相比第三季度的10300萬美元有所下降。主要是由於更高的利息支出,部分抵消了更高的調整後的EBITDA。
調整後的EBITDA同比增長4%,達到20800萬美元,而2023年第三季度爲2億美元。這一增長中包括來自市場基金波動的500萬美元不利影響,在排除了這一影響後,經調整的EBITDA同比增長7%,主要反映了較高的特許權和加盟費、增加的附帶收入以及邊際擴大。
每股攤薄收益爲1.29美元,較2023年第三季度的1.21美元有所增加。這主要反映了由於股份回購活動而產生的股份數量較少的益處。
調整後的攤薄後每股收益比2023年第三季度的1.31美元增長了6%至1.39美元。此增長包括預期營銷基金變動(經估計稅後)每股0.04美元的不利影響。在可比基礎上,調整後的攤薄後每股收益大約增長了10%,這反映了可比調整後的EBITDA增長和分拆回購活動所帶來的好處,部分抵消了更高的利息費用。
在2024年第三季度,公司的營銷基金收入超過支出1200萬美元,符合預期;而在2023年第三季度,公司的營銷基金收入超過支出1700萬美元,導致500萬美元的營銷基金變動。公司繼續預計2024年整年的營銷基金收入將大致等於支出。
所有報告期間的GAAP結果與公司非GAAP調整措施的全面對賬調整均顯示在本新聞稿的表格中。

資產負債表和流動性
公司在2024年第三季度淨經營活動現金流爲7900萬美元,調整後的自由現金流爲9600萬美元。公司季末現金結餘爲7200萬美元,總流動資金約爲75000萬美元。
公司的淨債務槓桿率在2024年9月30日達到了3.5倍,這是公司3至4倍目標區間的中間值。
2024年第三季度,公司在期限貸款b計劃上執行了35000萬美元的新利率互換,該互換將於2028年到期。新互換的固定利率爲3.3%。因此,公司截至第三季度末,大約80%的總負債是固定利率,20%是變量。
股票回購和分紅派息
在第三季度,該公司回購了約130萬股普通股,金額爲9700萬美元。截至9月30日,該公司今年迄今已回購了約380萬股普通股,金額爲28500萬美元。
公司在2024年第三季度支付了每股2900萬美元的普通股股利,每股38美分,並且截至目前爲止,每股9200萬美元,每股1.14美元。
2024年全年展望
公司正在調整其展望如下:
更新的展望以前的展望
同比客房增長3 - 4%3 - 4%
全球RevPAR同比增長大致持平大致持平
與費相關及其他收入$1.41 - $14.3億1.41美元 - 14.3億美元
調整後的EBITDA690美元 - 70000萬美元690美元 - 70000萬美元
調整後淨利潤338美元 - 34800萬美元338美元 - 34800萬美元
調整後的攤薄每股收益$4.22 - $4.34$4.20 - $4.32
Adjusted free cash flow conversion rate約60%約60%
注:調整後的EBITDA,調整後的淨利潤,調整後的攤薄後每股收益和調整後的自由現金流轉化率的展望均不包括與公司對一次未成功的敵意收購嘗試進行的所有之前的2024年費用和現金支出。
由於截至2023年全年市場營銷基金收入超過支出900萬美元,遠高於公司在COVID期間向股東提供的4900萬美元支持,因此,調整後EBITDA、調整後淨利潤和調整後攤薄後每股收益的同比增長率不可比較。公司仍然預計2024年全年市場營銷基金收入將與支出相等,儘管季節性開支將影響全年的季度對比。

HISTORICAL REVENUE AND ADJUSTED EBITDA BY SEGMENT
The reportable segment presented below represents our operating segment 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 segment, we also consider the nature of services provided by our operating segment. Management evaluates the operating results of our reportable segment based upon net revenues and adjusted EBITDA. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of performance for our segment 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.

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 diluted 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 in isolation or as a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

NOTE:    Outlook for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow conversion rate excludes all previous 2024 expenses and cash outlays associated with the Company's defense of an unsuccessful hostile takeover attempt.
(a)    Year-over-year growth rates for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS are not comparable due to full-year 2023 marketing fund revenues exceeding expenses by $9 million (before taxes), which substantially completed the recovery of the $49 million support the Company provided to its owners during COVID.
(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 September 30, 2024.

In determining adjusted EBITDA, interest expense, net, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted 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.

DEFINITIONS

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS: Represents net income and diluted earnings 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 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 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.
Ancillary Revenues: Represents the summation of the license and other fees line item and other revenues line item per the income statement.
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 year-over-year variability of the Company's marketing funds.
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: Reflects net cash provided by operating activities excluding development advances, less capital expenditures. The Company believes free cash flow to be a useful operating performance measure to it and investors. This measure helps the Company and investors evaluate its ability to generate cash beyond what is needed to fund capital expenditures, debt service and other obligations. Notwithstanding cash on hand and incremental borrowing capacity, free cash flow reflects the Company’s ability to grow its business through investments and acquisitions, as well as its ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases or even to delever. Free cash flow is not a representation of how the Company 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.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Represents free cash flow excluding payments related to the Company's defense of an unsuccessful hostile takeover attempt.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion Rate: Represents the percentage of adjusted EBITDA that is converted to adjusted free cash flow and provides insights into how efficiently the Company is able to turn profits into cash available for use, such as for investments (including development advance notes), debt reduction, dividends or share repurchases.
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 the Company receives 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 the Company's franchised properties and is calculated by dividing total royalties, excluding the impact of amortization of development advance notes, by total room revenues.
