Management Comments
Geoff Ballotti
We delivered a strong start to the year, highlighted by record-level first-quarter openings and a continued expansion of our development pipeline. As U.S. RevPAR in our economy and midscale segments continues to recover ahead of expectations, we approach the peak leisure summer season with increasing optimism. We’ve never been more confident in our ability to drive sustained long-term value creation for franchisees, guests and shareholders by adding high-quality, FeePAR-accretive hotels to our portfolio, growing ancillary revenues and scaling AI to further differentiate our industry-leading technology platform.”
