Let us look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.

Factors Likely to Shape Hyatt’s Quarterly Results

Hyatt’s second-quarter 2025 top line is expected to have increased year over year, driven by solid Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) growth and robust development activity. The company is likely to have benefited from net room growth, higher rates and increased occupancy, indicating strong travel demand.

Solid group pace and sustained business transient activities are likely to have aided the company’s RevPAR performance in the second quarter. The company expects stronger RevPAR growth in international markets compared with the United States. Hyatt’s management expects all-inclusive resort bookings in the Americas to increase 7% for the second quarter, indicating stable demand.

Strong contributions from franchise and other fees, as well as base and incentive fees, are expected to have supported Hyatt’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Our model predicts revenues from Franchise and other fees to rise 13.2% year over year to $137 million. System expansion, RevPAR growth and increased non-RevPAR fees are expected to have supported the company’s gross fees in the second quarter. Our model predicts the second-quarter gross fees to rise 9.3% year over year to $300.6 million.

Hyatt’s expanding loyalty base, World of Hyatt, alongside strong credit card spend and heightened brand engagement, is expected to have supported commercial performance. Loyalty-driven demand, coupled with strong early-year performance from corporate group business and favorable booking patterns, is expected to have bolstered its occupancy and performance in the second quarter.

However, inflationary pressures, labor cost increases in select markets and the drag from asset sales completed in 2024 might have weighed on Hyatt’s bottom line in the second quarter. Our model predicts second-quarter adjusted EBITDA to decline 2.9% year over year to $298.2 million.
