Negative
Adjusted EBITDA Increase: Adjusted EBITDA was $904 million in the third quarter, up 8% year-over-year, but this was driven by better-than-expected non-Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) fee growth, lower corporate expense, and some timing items.
Earnings Per Share Decline: Diluted earnings per share adjusted for special items was $1.92, indicating a potential decline in profitability compared to previous quarters.
RevPAR Growth Analysis: System-wide RevPAR grew 1.4% year-over-year, below the guidance range due to slower ramping in September following Labor Day, weather impacts, unfavorable calendar shifts, and ongoing labor disputes in the U.S.
Leisure Trends Normalization: Leisure trends continue to normalize with RevPAR declining modestly from post-pandemic peaks, suggesting a potential slowdown in growth.
RevPAR Decline in Asia-Pacific: In the Asia-Pacific region, third quarter RevPAR was down 3% year-over-year, negatively impacted by domestic travel comparisons, disruptions due to typhoons, and limited international inbound travel.
