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

• Financial outperformance and per‑share gains — 2025 Adjusted EBITDARE of $258.3M and Adjusted FFO per share of $1.76 exceeded guidance, and management repurchased over $120M of shares in 2025, supporting double‑digit FFO per‑share growth versus 2024.
• Revenue mix drove outsized Total RevPAR — same‑property RevPAR rose 3.9% in 2025 while Total RevPAR grew 8%, led by strong group demand and F&B growth (banquets +17.2%, F&B +13.4%).
• Grand Hyatt Scottsdale materially contributed to results — the transformed resort ramped in line with underwriting (RevPAR +104% YoY) and is expected to add meaningful EBITDA upside into 2026 and beyond.
• Balance sheet and liquidity are mixed — $1.4B of debt at a 5.51% weighted rate with Net Debt/EBITDA ~5.2x, but $75M cash plus an undrawn $500M revolver (~$575M total liquidity) and 28 of 30 hotels free of property‑level debt provide flexibility.
• 2026 guidance targets continued per‑share growth — management expects Adjusted FFO per share to increase ~7% to $1.89 at the midpoint, with same‑property RevPAR guidance of 1.5%–4.5% (3.0% midpoint) and Total RevPAR guidance of 2.75%–5.75% (4.25% midpoint), while flagging modest margin pressure from higher operating costs and limited renovation disruption.
