Geoff Ballotti, president and chief executive officer: “We delivered another solid quarter growing our global system by 4%, expanding our development pipeline by 5%, increasing our ancillary revenues by 19%, and continuing to execute our strategy focused on higher FeePAR segments and markets, which is driving growth in both domestic and international royalty rates. Record first-half openings and a 40% second quarter increase in new contracts awarded reflect strong developer confidence in Wyndham’s powerful, owner-first value proposition. Amid a softer domestic RevPAR environment, we grew comparable adjusted EBITDA by 5% and comparable adjusted EPS by 11%. We also returned nearly $110 million to shareholders this quarter — continuing to demonstrate the value-creating power of our highly cash-generative, resilient asset-light business model. With consistent development, royalty rate, and ancillary fee growth, we remain very confident in our ability to create long-term value for our shareholders, franchisees, and team members through the enduring appeal of our iconic brands.”
