Company Overview

Xenia Hotels & Resorts is a hotel real estate investment trust that owns a portfolio of luxury and upper-upscale hotels affiliated with well-known brands and operators. The operating comparison in Q2 FY2026 included approximately 30 hotels, and its revenue comes from rooms, food and beverage, and other hotel activities; therefore, its results are affected by the mix of transient and group demand, average daily rate, occupancy, and non-room spending. Following the sale of the 85-room Kimpton RiverPlace in July 2026, the company retained its exposure to the Portland market through the 600-room Hyatt Regency Portland.

In Q2 FY2026, revenue was $295.5 million and gross profit was $97.2 million, equivalent to a gross margin of approximately 32.9%, while the company recorded a net loss of $19.3 million and a loss per share of $0.21. Same-property RevPAR increased 5.6% to $206.54, driven almost entirely by a 5.7% increase in average daily rate to $285.71, while occupancy remained stable at 72.3%. Transient demand growth was stronger, with its RevPAR rising 6.9% compared with 3.4% for groups, but total RevPAR grew only 3.3% to $366.17 due to modest food and beverage and other revenue.

Property Adjusted EBITDA reached $78.1 million in Q2 FY2026, approximately $1 million ahead of the company's expectations, and Adjusted FFO per share increased 7% to $0.61. In contrast, hotel EBITDA margin declined 65 basis points to 28.7%, as operating expenses grew 4.2% to $211 million versus 3.3% growth in same-property hotel revenue. The latest trailing-twelve-month data show revenue of $1.1 billion and gross profit of $337 million, but the company recorded a net loss of $7.2 million and negative earnings per share of approximately $0.0783.

What's Driving the Stock

  • On July 30, 2026, Xenia raised the midpoint of its FY2026 Property Adjusted EBITDA guidance by $7 million to $273 million, following a previous increase of $6 million, bringing the guidance approximately 5% above its initial level in February 2026.
Earnings callEDGAR filings30-day newsInsider activity

Automated analysis for informational purposes only — not investment advice.

  • The company raised the midpoint of its FY2026 RevPAR growth guidance by 150 basis points to 5.5% and raised the midpoint of its total RevPAR growth guidance by 75 basis points to 5.75%. It also raised the midpoint of its Adjusted FFO per share forecast to $2.02, an increase of $0.08, representing expected growth of approximately 15% from FY2025.
  • The group room revenue pace for the second half of FY2026 was approximately 12% at the end of June 2026, up 300 basis points from its level three months earlier, with 80% of the improvement driven by demand and 20% by rates. More than three-quarters of expected group business for the second half was already booked, and group booking production for that half increased by more than 25% compared with production recorded for the corresponding period a year earlier.
  • Management estimated same-property RevPAR growth of approximately 10% in July 2026, with contributions from leisure and group demand, after June 2026 was the strongest month of the quarter with growth of 8.6%. At the market level, Palomar Philadelphia led the portfolio with RevPAR growth of 22%, followed by Monaco Salt Lake City at 13.1%, while the Phoenix properties collectively achieved growth of 12.7%.
  • Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort & Spa continued progressing toward stabilization, and management estimated its FY2026 contribution at approximately $32 million of hotel EBITDA. The company also expects the year to be the strongest group year in the resort's history, but management explained that the guidance increase also resulted from improvement across the rest of the portfolio and not from this asset alone.
  • In July 2026, the company completed the sale of Kimpton RiverPlace for $11 million, or approximately $129 thousand per room, at a multiple of 19.4 times hotel EBITDA and a 2% capitalization rate on operating income for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2026. The sale removes an asset that was making a minimal contribution and facing near-term capital needs and challenging operating prospects, with a non-cash impairment loss related to the transaction recorded in Q2 FY2026.
  • Buying & Selling Case

    ▲ Buying Case4 pts

    • +The operating improvement combines 5.6% same-property RevPAR growth in Q2 FY2026 with an increase in full-year guidance; the midpoint of expected RevPAR growth is now 5.5%, and the midpoint of Property Adjusted EBITDA is $273 million.
    • +Booked demand provides clearer visibility into the second half of FY2026, as the group room revenue pace increased to 12% and more than 75% of expected group business was booked, alongside a high-single-digit transient pace for August and September 2026 as of the end of June.
    • +Liquidity of $612 million supports investment and maturity-management flexibility; it included $112 million in cash and an undrawn $500 million credit facility at the end of Q2 FY2026. Only approximately 7% of debt was due in the following year, while the most significant maturities are concentrated in 2029 and 2030.
    • +Reinvestment in assets may provide additional growth drivers after the company spent $30.6 million on capital expenditures during the first half of FY2026 and maintained its annual spending guidance at $70 to $80 million. Projects include renovations at Andaz Napa and The Ritz-Carlton Denver, along with food and beverage development at W Nashville and the repositioning of four hotels within the Autograph Collection under the management of Davidson Hotel Group.

    • −Profitability faces clear pressure from costs growing faster than revenue; same-property hotel operating expenses increased 4.2% in Q2 FY2026 versus revenue growth of 3.3%, causing hotel EBITDA margin to decline 65 basis points to 28.7%. Energy expenses also rose approximately 11% and general and administrative expenses increased 7.9%, while rooms expense per occupied room rose 4%.
    • −Non-room revenue growth remained weak because of the operating mix; total RevPAR grew only 3.3% versus room RevPAR growth of 5.6%, and food and beverage revenue increased 1% while its expenses rose 3.3%. Higher-margin banquet activity declined 1.1%, while lower-margin outlet activity increased 1.5%, pressuring food and beverage profitability.
    • −The impact of the FIFA World Cup was below the company's expectations, as event-related demand materialized only at the lower end of a previously expected contribution range of 25 to 50 basis points to RevPAR growth. The release of large room blocks and hesitation by some groups to book around the matches weakened group business and non-room spending in several tournament markets, although transient demand filled the room gap.
    • −W Nashville remains in an early investment and operating phase that is pressuring margins; start-up costs for the food and beverage repositioning contributed to the decline in Q2 FY2026 margin. Management expects FY2026 to be a ramp-up year and for the full impact on rooms profitability to take several years, making the project's return timeline non-immediate.
    • −Outstanding debt was approximately $1.4 billion at the end of Q2 FY2026, and the net debt-to-EBITDA ratio was approximately 4.8 times, above the company's long-term target of less than 4 times. Although approximately three-quarters of the debt carries fixed interest rates, its average cost of 5.5% and expected annual capital expenditures of between $70 and $80 million limit capital allocation flexibility.

    Valuation

    Analyst consensus is neutral, with an average target of $21.17 and a narrow range between $20.50 and $22; the average target is only $0.89 below the 52-week range high of $22.06, compared with a low of $11.75. A meaningful conventional earnings multiple is unavailable because the latest trailing-twelve-month data show a net loss of $7.2 million, so XHR's valuation depends more heavily on the recovery in Adjusted FFO, its guidance of $2.02 per share for FY2026, and the company's ability to reduce leverage from 4.8 times toward its target of less than 4 times.

    FAQ

    What drove XHR's results in Q2 FY2026?

    Same-property RevPAR increased 5.6% to $206.54, driven by a 5.7% increase in average daily rate to $285.71, while occupancy remained stable at 72.3%. Transient RevPAR grew 6.9% compared with 3.4% for groups, and Philadelphia recorded growth of 22% while Salt Lake City recorded growth of 13.1%. Revenue was $295.5 million and gross profit was $97.2 million, but the company recorded a net loss of $19.3 million due to a non-cash impairment loss related to the sale of Kimpton RiverPlace. Adjusted FFO per share was $0.61, up 7% from Q2 FY2025.

    Why did Xenia raise its FY2026 guidance?

    On July 30, 2026, the company raised the midpoint of its Property Adjusted EBITDA guidance by $7 million to $273 million after its quarterly results exceeded expectations by approximately $1 million. The group room revenue pace for the second half increased to 12% by the end of June 2026, and more than three-quarters of expected business was booked. Demand drove 80% of the pace improvement and rates drove 20%, with booking production increasing by more than 25% for the remainder of the year. Accordingly, the company raised the midpoint of RevPAR growth to 5.5% and the midpoint of Adjusted FFO per share to $2.02.

    How important is Grand Hyatt Scottsdale to XHR's results?

    Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort & Spa was progressing toward stabilization during Q2 FY2026, and management estimated its annual contribution at approximately $32 million of hotel EBITDA. The Phoenix properties collectively achieved RevPAR growth of 12.7% during the quarter. Management also said FY2026 is on track to be the strongest year for group business in the resort's history. However, it emphasized that the company's guidance increase also reflects improvement across the rest of the portfolio, not the performance of Grand Hyatt Scottsdale alone.

    How are groups and the FIFA World Cup affecting Xenia's performance?

    The FIFA World Cup supported rates and room demand in June 2026, when matches were held in six of the company's markets and the portfolio's daily rate increased approximately 9%. However, the overall impact materialized at the lower end of a previously expected contribution range of 25 to 50 basis points to RevPAR growth because of released room blocks and hesitation by other groups to book around the matches. Transient demand filled the room gap, but it generated lower non-room spending, so total RevPAR grew 3.3% in Q2 FY2026 versus room RevPAR growth of 5.6%. In contrast, second-half visibility improved, with the group room revenue pace reaching 12% and more than 75% of expected business booked by the end of June 2026.

    What was XHR's debt and liquidity position at the end of Q2 FY2026?

    Outstanding debt was approximately $1.4 billion, and approximately three-quarters of it carried fixed interest rates, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.5%. The net debt-to-EBITDA ratio was 4.8 times, compared with a long-term target of less than 4 times. The company had $112 million in cash and an undrawn $500 million credit facility, providing total liquidity of $612 million. Only approximately 7% of debt is due in the following year, while the most significant maturities are concentrated in 2029 and 2030.

    Why did Xenia sell Kimpton RiverPlace?

    In July 2026, the company completed the sale of the 85-room hotel for $11 million, or approximately $129 thousand per room. The price represented a multiple of 19.4 times hotel EBITDA and a 2% capitalization rate on operating income for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2026. Management said the asset was hurt by challenges in the Portland market, declining attractiveness of its location, and increased competing supply, and it was making a minimal contribution while facing near-term capital needs. Following the sale, the company retained its exposure to Portland through the 600-room Hyatt Regency Portland adjacent to the Oregon Convention Center.

    The Kimpton RiverPlace loss illustrates asset- and market-specific risks; the hotel's performance declined because of challenges in the Portland market, deterioration in the attractiveness of its location, and additions to competing supply, resulting in a minimal contribution, high capital needs, and a non-cash impairment loss. The start of renovations at Andaz Napa and The Ritz-Carlton Denver in Q4 FY2026 also adds execution risk, even though management expects limited cash disruption during the year.
