Q1 2024 Summit Hotel Properties Inc Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Adjusted EBITDAre and adjusted FFO increased by 10% and 14% respectively, compared to the first quarter of last year.
- Pro forma RevPAR increased by 1.5% year-over-year, outperforming the total U.S. lodging industry and upscale chain scale.
- Significant market share gains across the portfolio with a RevPAR index of 115% in the first quarter, an increase of 335 basis points.
- Strong performance in urban and suburban markets, with specific markets like Baltimore, New Orleans, and Minneapolis showing robust RevPAR growth.
- Successful capital allocation with the sale of 9 hotels over the last 12 months for $131 million at a blended capitalization rate of approximately 5%, enhancing portfolio quality and reducing near-term CapEx requirements.
- A 1.4% decrease in average rate year-over-year, concentrated in leisure-oriented markets which offset some of the occupancy gains.
- Continued softness in the San Francisco market, with downtown San Francisco remaining a pocket of weakness.
- Leisure market challenges, particularly in ski markets like Silverthorne and Steamboat, where there was a noticeable decline in ADR due to weaker snow seasons compared to the previous year.
- Increased labor costs and challenges, although moderating, still present issues with wage growth and turnover rates higher than pre-pandemic levels.
- Potential risks from new brand entries at lower chain scales by major hotel brands, which could impact market dynamics and competitive positioning.
