Forward guidance

DiamondRock anticipates continued solid group demand and potential business transient pickup, balanced by leisure demand normalization and renovation impacts in the second half of 2023. Cost controls are a priority, but property insurance and tax increases are expected to impact margins.

Tailwinds

  • Overall US travel is projected to hit a new record next year with the occupancy of more than 1.3 billion hotel nights.
  • Group revenue pace is up a terrific 28%.
  • Leisure segment in the US next year will have its adjustment to the new normal behind it and can resume its long-term trend line of outperformance.
  • US industry fundamentals should benefit over the next three to five years from constrained new hotel supply as high construction cost and high borrowing cost limit the viability of many new projects.
  • The Dagny Boston repositioning this year is projected to grow profits 35% in 2024 with revenues up more than $3500000.

Headwinds

  • Chicago, their biggest market, was materially stronger in the first half than they expect it will be in the second half of the year.
  • Business transient gains are leveling off.
  • Leisure demand continues to reset to a new normal, well ahead of 2019, but a little behind 2022, and this normalization may play out the remainder of the year.
  • Renovations and repositionings are projected to negatively impact second half total revenue growth by roughly $4 million, or an additional headwind of 115 basis points per quarter on RevPAR.
  • Year-over-year property tax and property insurance increases will impact second half hotel adjusted EBITDA margins by approximately 270 basis points compared to the second half 2022 margins.
