Wyndham Hotels Q2 2026: Adjusted EBITDA +9% despite 6% revenue decline as Revo insolvency clouds international portfolio and Mexico demand softens

Wyndham Hotels delivered adjusted EBITDA of $212 million in Q2 2026, up 9% year-over-year, even as net revenues fell $22 million to $375 million — a gap driven almost entirely by the absence of pass-through franchisee conference revenues from 2025 and Revo fee deferrals, not by underlying demand deterioration. U.S. RevPAR grew 2% on continued Midwest, Texas, Florida, and California strength, while international constant-currency RevPAR declined 6%, pressured by lower U.S.-Mexico cross-border traffic, Middle East geopolitical conflict, and Chinese deflationary pricing. The global development pipeline reached a record high of over 2,200 hotels and approximately 261,000 rooms, growing 4% year-over-year excluding Revo, signaling that franchisee appetite for brand affiliation remains intact despite the near-term top-line headwinds.
