U.S. Net Rooms Growth Improved for the Second Consecutive Quarter, Supporting 2.6% Global Net Rooms Growth
NORTH BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Choice Hotels International, Inc. (“Choice” or “the Company”) (NYSE: CHH), a leading global lodging franchisor with an asset-light model, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Highlights include:
- Net income was $64 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, for the second quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA totaled $175 million, and adjusted diluted EPS reached $2.02 for the second quarter.
- U.S. room openings increased 27% in the second quarter compared to the same period of 2025, as the Company opened approximately 6,400 U.S. rooms—the highest second-quarter level since 2019, while exits declined to their lowest second-quarter level since 2020, supporting continued improvement in U.S. net rooms growth.
- Global net rooms grew 2.6% compared to June 30, 2025, driven by 3.6% growth in the higher revenue extended stay, midscale, and upscale brands.
- U.S. RevPAR increased 1.3% in the second quarter, compared to the same period of 2025, reflecting improvements in both occupancy and rate.
- U.S. franchise agreements awarded increased 30% in the second quarter compared to the same period of 2025, representing approximately 9,400 new U.S. rooms for development.
- The Company’s U.S. conversion rooms pipeline grew 24% to 24,100 rooms, compared to June 30, 2025, and 6% sequentially from March 31, 2026.
- The U.S. royalty rate expanded 11 basis points to 5.2% in the second quarter, compared to the same period of 2025.
- The Company returned $139 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases year-to-date through June 30, 2026.
- The Company raised several full-year 2026 guidance ranges.
“Our second quarter results reflect encouraging progress across our key priorities, with U.S. net rooms growth improving for the second consecutive quarter to its strongest first-half performance since 2021 and U.S. RevPAR trends strengthening,” said Dom Dragisich, Interim Chief Executive Officer. “Over the past several years, we’ve built a stronger commercial engine and technology platform, and we continue to invest in both. Our biggest opportunity now is sharpening execution—leveraging those capabilities to further enhance franchisee economics by increasing the number and quality of the guests we deliver while lowering operating costs. While we still have work to do, this business has significantly more potential, and I’m confident we can realize it. The progress we delivered this quarter reinforces that confidence.”

- Net income was $64 million for the second quarter, a 21% decline compared to the same period of 2025. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflected a higher net reimbursable deficit from franchised and managed properties related to investments in franchisee-related tools and guest delivery capabilities, timing of SG&A expenses, and increased depreciation and amortization associated with owned hotels and the prior year acquisition of Choice Hotels Canada. These items were partially offset by higher franchise and management fees.2
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 6%, and adjusted diluted EPS increased 5% compared to the same period of 2025.
- Franchise and management fees increased 6% to $188 million for the second quarter, compared to the same period of 2025, reflecting higher international royalty fees, higher franchisee programs and services revenue, along with U.S. RevPAR and U.S. royalty rate improvement.
- Partnership services and fees increased 6% to $29 million for the second quarter, compared to the same period of 2025, primarily reflecting growth in procurement services revenue.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2026, Choice had total available liquidity of $475 million, comprised of cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity. The Company’s net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio was 3.1x for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, within the Company’s target range of 3.0x to 4.0x.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company generated $67 million in cash flows from operating activities, compared to $116 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher franchise agreement acquisition costs associated with a 27% increase in U.S. room openings and higher marketing and reservation system reimbursable expenses.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, net capital outlays for hotel development and lending activities declined 80% to $15 million, from $76 million in the prior-year period.3
The Company expects to enter the next phase of its asset-light strategy by recycling capital from its owned hotel portfolio. As of August 5, 2026, the Company owned 19 operating hotels, with one additional hotel under construction. The Company expects the first asset sales to occur during the first half of 2027, subject to market conditions.
Shareholder Returns

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements and Other Definitions
The company evaluates its operations utilizing the performance metrics of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted EPS, which are all non-GAAP financial measurements. These measures, which are reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in Exhibits 6 and 7, should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or liquidity as promulgated under or authorized by GAAP, such as SG&A, net income and EPS. The company’s calculation of these measurements may be different from the calculations used by other companies and comparability may therefore be limited. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. We further discuss management’s reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures and how each non-GAAP measure is calculated below.
In addition to the specific adjustments noted below with respect to each measure, the non-GAAP measures presented herein also exclude restructuring of the company’s operations including employee severance benefit, income taxes and legal costs, acquisition related to business combination, due diligence and transition (recoveries) costs, and global ERP system implementation and related costs to allow for period-over-period comparison of ongoing core operations before the impact of these discrete and infrequent charges.
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization: Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as net income excluding the impact of interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of cloud computing arrangements, impairments and gains on sale of business, joint ventures and assets, other (gains) and losses, equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates and (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, franchisee agreement acquisition cost amortization and charges, mark-to-market adjustments on non-qualified retirement plan investments, share based compensation expense (benefit) and surplus or deficits generated by reimbursable revenue from franchised and managed properties. We consider adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance because it measures our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. We also use these measures, as do analysts, lenders, investors, and others, to evaluate companies because they exclude certain items that can vary widely across industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels, and credit ratings, and share based compensation expense (benefit) is dependent on the design of compensation plans in place and the usage of them. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense and share based compensation expense (benefit) on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. These measures also exclude depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets or amortizing franchise-agreement acquisition costs. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative asset costs and estimated lives and, therefore, the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. Mark-to-market adjustments on non-qualified retirement-plan investments recorded in SG&A expenses are excluded from adjusted EBITDA, as the company accounts for these investments in accordance with accounting for deferred-compensation arrangements when investments are held in a rabbi trust and invested. Changes in the fair value of the investments are recognized as both compensation expense in SG&A and other gains and losses. As a result, the changes in the fair value of the investments do not have a material impact on the company’s net income. Surpluses and deficits generated from reimbursable revenues from franchised and managed properties are excluded, as the company does not operate these programs to generate a profit and has the contractual rights to adjust future collections or assess additional fees to recover prior period expenditures. The company’s franchise and management agreements require these revenues to be used exclusively for expenses associated with providing franchise and management services, such as central reservation systems, hotel employee and operating costs, reservation delivery and national marketing and media advertising. Franchised and managed property owners are required to reimburse the company for any deficits generated from these activities and the company is required to spend any surpluses generated in future periods. The reimbursement for franchise and management services is typically billed and collected monthly, based on the underlying hotel’s sales or usage, while the associated costs are recognized as incurred by the company, creating timing differences with the net effect impacting net income in the reporting period. These timing differences are due to our discretion to spend in excess of the revenues earned or less than the revenues earned in a single period to ensure that the programs are operated in the best long-term interests of our franchised and managed properties. Since these activities will be managed to break-even over time, quarterly or annual surpluses and deficits have been excluded from the measurements utilized to assess the company’s operating performance.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS exclude the impact of surpluses or deficits generated from reimbursable revenue from franchised and managed properties, impairments, formation costs and gains on sale of business, joint ventures and assets and gains on extinguishment of debt. Surpluses and deficits generated from reimbursable revenue from franchised and managed properties are excluded, as the company does not operate these programs to generate a profit and has the contractual rights to adjust future collections or assess additional fees to recover prior period expenditures. The company’s franchise agreements require these revenues to be used exclusively for expenses associated with providing franchised and managed services, such as central reservation systems, hotel employee and operating costs, reservation delivery and national marketing and media advertising. Franchised and managed property owners are required to reimburse the company for any deficits generated from activities and the company is required to spend any surpluses generated in future periods. The reimbursement for franchise and management services is typically billed and collected monthly, based on the underlying hotel’s sales or usage, while the associated costs are recognized as incurred by the company, creating timing differences with the net effect impacting net income in the reporting period. These timing differences are due to our discretion to spend in excess of the revenues earned or less than the revenues earned in a single period to ensure that the programs are operated in the best long-term interests of our franchised and managed properties. Since these activities will be managed to break-even over time, quarterly or annual surpluses and deficits have been excluded from the measurements utilized to assess the company’s operating performance. We consider adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS to be indicators of operating performance because excluding these items allows for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations.
Adjusted SG&A: Adjusted SG&A reflects SG&A excluding the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on non-qualified retirement plan investments, amortization of cloud computing arrangements and share based compensation expense. We use this measure, as do analysts, lenders, investors, and others, to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, share based compensation expense (benefit) is dependent on the design of compensation plans in place and the usage of them. Accordingly, the impact of share-based compensation expense (benefit) on earnings can vary significantly among companies. Mark-to-market adjustments on non-qualified retirement-plan investments recorded in SG&A expenses are also excluded as the company accounts for these investments in accordance with accounting for deferred-compensation arrangements when investments are held in a rabbi trust and invested. Changes in the fair value of the investments are recognized as both compensation expense in SG&A and other gains and losses. As a result, the changes in the fair value of the investments do not have a material impact on the company’s net income.
Occupancy: Occupancy represents the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available at a hotel for a given period. Occupancy measures the utilization of the hotels’ available capacity. Management uses occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. The company calculates occupancy based on information as reported by its franchisees. To accurately reflect occupancy, the company may revise its prior years’ operating statistics for the most current information provided.
Average Daily Rate (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 management uses ADR to assess pricing levels that the company is able to generate. The company calculates ADR based on information as reported by its franchisees. To accurately reflect ADR, the company may revise its prior years’ operating statistics for the most current information provided.
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. Management considers RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of hotel performance and therefore company royalty and system revenues as it provides a metric correlated to the two key drivers of operations at a hotel: occupancy and ADR. The company calculates RevPAR based on information as reported by its franchisees. To accurately reflect RevPAR, the company may revise its prior years’ operating statistics for the most current information provided. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods.
Pipeline: Pipeline is defined as hotels awaiting conversion, under construction or approved for development, and master development agreements committing owners to future franchise development.
