Here are the key takeaways from Xenia Hotels & Resorts’ conference call:

• Third-quarter results substantially exceeded expectations: same-property RevPAR rose 12.5%, adjusted EBITDAre increased 26% to $53.2 million, and adjusted FFO per share grew nearly 57% to $0.36.
• Strong group and corporate transient demand drove balanced occupancy and rate growth, while hotel EBITDA margin expanded nearly 300 basis points to 22.9% through revenue growth and disciplined cost management.
• Management raised 2026 guidance for same-property RevPAR growth to 7.75%-8.25%, total RevPAR growth to 7%-7.5%, adjusted EBITDAre to a $281 million midpoint, and adjusted FFO per share to $2.08-$2.14.
• The balance sheet remains flexible, with $661 million of liquidity, leverage reduced to approximately 4.4 times net debt to EBITDA, and nearly three-quarters of debt at fixed rates; limited new hotel supply is also expected to support future pricing power.
• Management expects more normalized group growth in 2027, with group room revenue pace down approximately 4% year over year due primarily to second-half gaps and difficult comparisons from special events; 2027 will also face an estimated 50-basis-point RevPAR and $3 million EBITDA headwind.
