Hilton (HLT) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (HLT - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2023 results on Oct 25, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, HLT delivered an earnings surprise of 3.8%.
Q3 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.66 per share, indicating an improvement of 26.7% from $1.31 reported in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $2.59 billion, suggesting growth of 9.3% from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
Factors to Note
Hilton’s third-quarter results are likely to have benefited from an improvement in RevPAR, ADR, expansion efforts and robust loyalty program. It is likely to have witnessed solid RevPAR gains in Europe, the Middle East and Africa region owing to strong leisure demand.
For third-quarter 2023, management anticipates system-wide RevPAR to increase in the 4-6% band on a year-over-year basis. We expect system-wide ADR and RevPAR to rise 4.7% and 4.5% year over year to za, respectively. Further, our model predicts system-wide occupancy to be 73%.
Strong contributions across the company’s franchise and licensing fees, base and other management fees, incentive management fees, and management and franchise fee revenues are likely to have aided Hilton’s top line.
We project franchise and licensing fees, base and other management fees, incentive management fees, and management and franchise fee revenues to jump 8.5%, 12.2%, 31.5% and 10.6% to $621.9 million, $85.2 million, $68.4 million and $775.6 million, respectively. Moreover, we suggest owned and leased hotels revenues to climb 21.7% year over year to $359 million.
For third-quarter 2023, the company envisions net income in the range of $395-$409 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $790 million and $810 million. It projects third-quarter EPS (adjusted for special items) to be between $1.60 and $1.65.
