Choice Hotels International recorded an impressive performance in its second quarter of 2024, despite the continued fluctuating RevPAR environment in the U.S. The company increased its adjusted EBITDA to $162 million and registered a 5% year-over-year rise in adjusted EPS. These results reflect the versatility and robustness of the business model, highlighted by an 8% increase in domestic franchise agreement RevPAR and a 20% year-over-year acceleration in the global opening rate. While expectations for domestic RevPAR growth for the remainder of the year have been slightly adjusted, the company remains optimistic about long-term business and leisure travel trends. This outlook is supported by strategic investments and Choice Hotels' diversified business model, which projects significant revenue growth through franchise-driven, high-growth hotels. In the international business, Choice Hotels marked a significant achievement with a 22% increase in the global pipeline and a 1.6% rise in internationally opened rooms. The strategic realignment and effective integration of the Radisson Americas portfolio significantly contribute to the positive outcome. Representatives from Choice Hotels, including CEO Pat Pacious and CFO Scott Oaksmith, emphasized the increased effectiveness of this model and anticipate that the combination of expanded system size, enhanced franchisee relationships, and growing customer reach will continuously create future growth opportunities. The rising significance and demand for their extended-stay and mid-scale brands, coupled with favorable pricing trends and increased developer interest, underscore the growth potential. This is especially true for the WoodSpring Suites brand, which stands out as a leader in the economy extended-stay segment. Choice Hotels remains confident that long-term business conditions will remain favorable and expects to achieve sustainable growth through strategic actions and a consistent business model.
