Overview

Christopher J.

As a result of our strong performance and positive outlook, we are raising our Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year."

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, system-wide comparable RevPAR increased 30.0 percent compared to the same period in 2022, due to increases in both occupancy and ADR, and management and franchise fee revenues increased 30.1 percent compared to the same period in 2022. For comparison to pre-pandemic results, system-wide comparable RevPAR for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 8.0 percent compared to the same period in 2019, and management and franchise fee revenues increased 26.3 percent from the same period in 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, diluted EPS was $0.77 and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items, was $1.24 compared to $0.75 and $0.71, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net income and Adjusted EBITDA were $209 million and $641 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $211 million and $448 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, Hilton's development pipeline totaled approximately 2,930 hotels representing 428,100 rooms throughout 116 countries and territories, including 30 countries and territories where Hilton did not have any existing hotels. Additionally, of the rooms in the development pipeline, 215,700 of the rooms were under construction and 246,200 of the rooms were located outside of the U.S. In April, Hilton announced a notable addition to its development pipeline, the Waldorf Astoria Jaipur, which will mark the debut of the Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts brand in India.
