About Apple Hospitality REIT

Apple Hospitality REIT owns and manages hotel properties across the United States, with a focus on upscale accommodations centered on guest rooms rather than extensive amenities.

Last earnings call, Aug 5, 2026 AI summary

What they said
Apple Hospitality REIT reported Q2 2026 comparable hotels RevPAR growth of over 5%, with approximately 75% of hotels delivering RevPAR growth. NFFO reached $0.52 per share, up more than 8% year-over-year, with 120 basis points of margin expansion and 58-cent flow-through on incremental revenue. July preliminary data shows RevPAR growth exceeding 5.5%. The company completed refinancing activities extending maturities and increasing credit facility capacity, and sold a Rochester Hampton Inn for ~$9 million at a 5% cap rate.
Guidance
Management raised full-year RevPAR growth guidance by 25 basis points to 3.25% at the midpoint and increased comparable hotels adjusted hotel EBITDA margin guidance by 75 basis points at the midpoint. Management acknowledges guidance may prove conservative given strong transient demand, group business momentum, and favorable year-over-year government travel comparisons.
