## Cross-quarter narrative

Across the eight earnings calls Xenia Hotels & Resorts moved from modest RevPAR gains and renovation‑related margin pressure in 2024 toward stronger top‑line momentum and margin expansion by 2025‑2026. Early calls highlighted a +1‑2% RevPAR rise, Scottsdale renovation disruption, and lowered guidance. By Q4 2024 the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale transformation was completed, allowing a RevPAR rebound (+6.3% in Q1 2025) and a shift to higher‑margin EBITDA growth in Q2 2025 driven by banquet strength and expense controls. Group demand remained a consistent engine, with bookings for 2026 solidifying, while leisure demand softened and showed mixed event‑driven upside. Capital actions evolved from modest capex to strategic asset sales (Fairmont Dallas), aggressive share repurchases and targeted renovations. Macro‑economic uncertainty, wage inflation and renovation disruption persisted throughout, but the company’s leverage remained above its long‑term target, prompting a focus on deleveraging. By Q1 2026 RevPAR growth accelerated to 7.4%, margins expanded 270 bps and EBITDA guidance was raised, signaling a transition from recovery to a more resilient growth phase despite lingering macro and expense headwinds.
