Hyatt Hotels Beats Q2 2025 Earnings, Shares Edge Higher

On August 7th, 2025, Hyatt Hotels Corporation reported its second quarter financial results, which exceeded analyst expectations. The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.68, beating the consensus estimate of $0.65.

Hyatt's performance was driven by strong results in its luxury segment and contributions from newly acquired properties. The hotel chain reported a 9.5% increase in gross fees to $301 million compared to the same period last year. System-wide comparable RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) also increased by 1.6% compared to Q2 2024, with the luxury segment leading the growth.

Despite the lower RevPAR growth environment, Hyatt achieved impressive net rooms growth of 11.8%, or 6.5% excluding acquisitions. The company's adjusted EBITDA was $303 million, representing a slight decrease of 1.1% compared to the second quarter of 2024, though it increased 9.0% after adjusting for assets sold in 2024.

Looking ahead, Hyatt's management expressed optimism about the company's performance. "The second quarter's results reflect solid performance across our business, including strong fee contribution in a lower RevPAR growth environment," said Mark S. Hoplamazian, President and CEO of Hyatt. "As we look ahead, we are encouraged by recent booking trends, leaving us optimistic about improving performance in the fourth quarter and into next year."

For the full year 2025, Hyatt projects comparable system-wide RevPAR growth between 1% and 3% compared to 2024, and adjusted EBITDA between $1,085 million and $1,130 million, representing growth of 7% to 11% after adjusting for assets sold in 2024. The company also announced plans to return approximately $300 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in 2025.
