Overview
Christopher J. Nassetta, President & Chief Executive Officer of Hilton, said, “Our third quarter results continued to demonstrate the resilience of our business model, delivering strong bottom line performance despite softer industry RevPAR. We remain optimistic, that in the U.S., lower interest rates, a more favorable regulatory environment, certainty on tax policy and a significant investment cycle will accelerate economic growth and travel demand, and, when paired with limited industry supply growth, should drive stronger RevPAR growth over the next several years. The quality of our development pipeline, acceleration in new development construction starts, attractiveness of our brands for conversions and continued growth of our brand presence globally gives us confidence in delivering net unit growth between 6.5 percent and 7.0 percent in 2025 and 6.0 percent to 7.0 percent over the next several years.”
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, system-wide comparable RevPAR decreased 1.1 percent compared to the same period in 2024 due to modest occupancy and ADR declines. Management and franchise fee revenues increased 5.3 percent compared to the same period in 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, system-wide comparable RevPAR increased 0.3 percent compared to the same period in 2024 due to an increase in ADR. Management and franchise fee revenues increased 6.1 percent compared to the same period in 2024.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, diluted EPS was $1.78 and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, was $2.11, compared to $1.38 and $1.92, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net income and Adjusted EBITDA were $421 million and $976 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $344 million and $904 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, diluted EPS was $4.84 and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, was $6.03, compared to $4.09 and $5.36, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net income and Adjusted EBITDA were $1,163 million and $2,779 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1,034 million and $2,571 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Development
In the third quarter of 2025, we opened 199 hotels, totaling 24,800 rooms, resulting in 23,200 net room additions. We continued to expand our luxury and lifestyle brands during the quarter, including the addition of the Conrad Hamburg, representing the brand’s debut in Germany and the KROMO Bangkok, Curio Collection by Hilton, the brand’s first hotel in Thailand. We also opened the Sunseeker Resort Florida Gulf Coast, Curio by Hilton, which will deliver a luxury experience curated for leisure, lifestyle and business travelers alike. We signed the Makati in Metro Manila, Canopy by Hilton, representing the brand’s first hotel in the Philippines, and broke ground on the Signia by Hilton Savannah, which will serve as the Savannah Convention Center’s headquarters hotel. In Vietnam, we approved nearly 1,800 rooms across five hotels to debut our Conrad, LXR and DoubleTree brands and expand the Hilton brand in one of Asia’s most dynamic markets. In October 2025, we reached another milestone with our 9,000th property, with the opening of the Signia by Hilton La Cantera Resort and Spa. We also announced the launch of our new lifestyle brand, Outset Collection by Hilton, which has more than 60 hotels in development and for which we expect bookings to be available starting later this year.
We added 33,000 rooms to the development pipeline during the third quarter, and, as of September 30, 2025, our development pipeline totaled 3,648 hotels representing 515,400 rooms throughout 128 countries and territories, including 26 countries and territories where we had no existing hotels. Additionally, of the rooms in the development pipeline, nearly half were under construction and more than half were located outside of the U.S.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of September 30, 2025, we had $11.7 billion of debt outstanding, excluding the deduction for unamortized deferred financing costs and discount, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.81 percent. Excluding all finance lease liabilities, we had $11.6 billion of debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.80 percent and no material indebtedness that matures prior to April 2027. We believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity and access to debt markets to address the repayment of all indebtedness that becomes due at or prior to the respective maturity dates.
In July 2025, we borrowed $225 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), bringing total outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to $515 million. We subsequently issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2033 and used a portion of the net proceeds to repay all $515 million of outstanding indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility. No borrowings were outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025, which had an available borrowing capacity of $1,898 million after considering $102 million of letters of credit outstanding. Total cash and cash equivalents were $1,126 million as of September 30, 2025, including $69 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents.
In September 2025, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock, for a total payment of $35 million, bringing total dividend payments for the year to $108 million. In October 2025, our board of directors authorized a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock to be paid on December 29, 2025 to holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on November 21, 2025.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 2.8 million shares of Hilton common stock at an average price per share of $270.31, for a total of $757 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 9.7 million shares of Hilton common stock at an average price per share of $248.34, returning $2,510 million of capital to shareholders, including dividends. Total capital return to shareholders, including dividends year-to-date through October, was $2,671 million.
The number of shares outstanding as of October 17, 2025 was 232.4 million.

DEFINITIONS
Trailing Twelve Month Financial Information
This press release includes certain unaudited financial information for the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) ended September 30, 2025, which is calculated as the nine months ended September 30, 2025 plus the year ended December 31, 2024 less the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This presentation is not in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that this presentation provides useful information to investors regarding our recent financial performance, and we view this presentation of the four most recently completed fiscal quarters as a key measurement period for investors to assess our historical results. In addition, our management uses TTM information to evaluate our financial performance for ongoing planning purposes.
Net Income (Loss), Adjusted for Special Items, and Diluted EPS, Adjusted for Special Items
Net income (loss), adjusted for special items is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to Hilton stockholders, as reported, plus total special items after taxes. Net income (loss), adjusted for special items, and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”), adjusted for special items, are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), diluted EPS or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our definition of net income (loss), adjusted for special items, and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Net income (loss), adjusted for special items, and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, are included to assist investors in performing meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means of highlighting the results of our ongoing operations.
Adjusted EBITDA, Net Income (Loss) Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss), excluding interest expense, a provision for income tax benefit (expense) and depreciation and amortization expenses, as well as gains, losses, revenues and expenses earned or incurred in connection with: (i) asset dispositions for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments; (ii) foreign currency transactions; (iii) debt restructurings and retirements; (iv) furniture, fixtures, and equipment (“FF&E”) replacement reserves required under certain lease agreements; (v) share-based compensation; (vi) reorganization, severance, relocation and other expenses; (vii) non-cash impairment; (viii) amortization of contract acquisition costs; (ix) cost reimbursement revenues and reimbursed expenses; and (x) other items.
Net income (loss) margin represents net income (loss) as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues, adjusted to exclude the amortization of contract acquisition costs and cost reimbursement revenues.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) these measures are used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions and (ii) these measures are 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. Additionally, these measures exclude certain items that can vary widely across different industries and among competitors within our industry. For instance, interest expense and income taxes are dependent on company specifics, including, among other things, capital structure and operating jurisdictions, respectively, and, therefore, could vary significantly across companies. Depreciation and amortization expenses, as well as amortization of contract acquisition costs, are dependent upon company policies, including the method of acquiring and depreciating assets and the useful lives that are assigned to those depreciating or amortizing assets for accounting purposes. We also exclude items such as: (i) FF&E replacement reserves for leased hotels to be consistent with the treatment of capital expenditures for property and equipment, where depreciation of such capitalized assets is reported within depreciation and amortization expenses; (ii) share-based compensation, as this could vary widely among companies due to the different plans in place and the usage of them; and (iii) other items that are not reflective of our operating performance, such as amounts related to debt restructurings and debt retirements and reorganization and related severance costs, to enhance period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations. Further, Adjusted EBITDA excludes both cost reimbursement revenues and reimbursed expenses as we contractually do not operate the related programs to generate a profit and have contractual rights to adjust future collections to recover prior period expenditures. The direct reimbursements from property owners are billable and reimbursable as the costs are incurred and have no net effect on net income (loss) in the reporting period. The indirect reimbursements from property owners are typically billed and collected monthly, based on the underlying hotel’s sales or usage (e.g., gross room revenue or number of reservations processed), while the associated costs are recognized as incurred by Hilton, creating timing differences, with the net effect impacting net income (loss) in the reporting period. These timing differences are due to our discretion to spend in excess of revenues earned or less than revenues earned in a single period to ensure that the programs are operated in the best long-term interests of our property owners. However, over the life of the operation of these programs, the expenses incurred related to the indirect reimbursements are designed to equal the revenues earned from the indirect reimbursements over time such that, in the long term, the programs will not earn a profit or generate a loss and do not impact our economics, either positively or negatively. Therefore, the net effect of our reimbursed revenues and expenses is not used by management to evaluate our operating performance, determine executive compensation or make other operating decisions, and we exclude their impact when evaluating period over period performance results.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives, either in isolation or as a substitute, for net income (loss), net income (loss) margin or other measures of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flows, derived in accordance with GAAP. Further, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered as other methods of analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.
Net Debt, Long-Term Debt to Net Income (Loss) Ratio and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
Long-term debt to net income (loss) ratio is calculated as the ratio of Hilton’s long-term debt, including current maturities, to net income (loss). Net debt is calculated as: long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding the deduction for unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts; reduced by: (i) cash and cash equivalents and (ii) restricted cash and cash equivalents. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated as the ratio of Hilton’s net debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, presented herein, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate its financial leverage.
Net debt should not be considered as a substitute to debt presented in accordance with GAAP, and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio should not be considered as an alternative to measures of financial condition derived in accordance with GAAP. Net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio provide useful information about our indebtedness to investors as they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the indebtedness between companies.
Comparable Hotels
We define our comparable hotels as those that were active and operating in our system for at least one full calendar year and were open January 1st of the previous year. We exclude hotels that have undergone a change in brand or ownership type or a large-scale capital project during the current or comparable periods or otherwise do not have available comparable results, such as those that have sustained substantial property damage or encountered business interruption. We exclude strategic partner hotels from our comparable hotels. Of the 8,887 hotels in our system as of September 30, 2025, 489 hotels were strategic partner hotels and 6,339 hotels were classified as comparable hotels. Our 2,059 non-comparable hotels as of September 30, 2025 included (i) 1,124 hotels that were added to our system after January 1, 2024 or that have undergone a change in brand or ownership type during the current or comparable periods reported and (ii) 935 hotels that were removed from the comparable group for the current or comparable periods reported because they underwent or are undergoing large-scale capital projects, sustained substantial property damage, encountered business interruption or comparable results were otherwise not available for them.
Occupancy
Occupancy represents the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available at a hotel or group of hotels for a given period. Occupancy measures the utilization of available capacity at a hotel or group of hotels. Management uses occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help management determine achievable Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) pricing levels as demand for hotel rooms increases or decreases.
ADR
ADR represents hotel room revenue divided by the total number of room nights sold for a given period. ADR measures the average room price attained by a hotel, and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. ADR is a commonly used performance measure in the industry, and we use ADR to assess pricing levels that we are able to generate by type of customer, as changes in rates charged to customers have different effects on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above.
Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”)
RevPAR is calculated by dividing hotel room revenue by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. We consider RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of our performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key drivers of operations at a hotel or group of hotels, as previously described: occupancy and ADR. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods for comparable hotels.
References to occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are presented on a comparable basis, based on the comparable hotels as of September 30, 2025, and references to ADR and RevPAR are presented on a currency neutral basis, unless otherwise noted. As such, comparisons of these hotel operating statistics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 use foreign currency exchange rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
Pipeline
Rooms under construction include rooms for hotels under construction or operating hotels that are in the process of conversion to our system.
