Forward guidance

The 2024 guidance range contemplates a stable operating environment with a continued improvement in group business, a gradual recovery in business transient, steady leisure demand, and continued evolution of demand on Maui as the island recovers from the recent wildfires.

Tailwinds

  • Continued improvement in group business.
  • Gradual recovery in business transient.
  • Steady leisure demand.
  • Continued evolution of demand on Maui as the island recovers from the recent wildfires.
  • Operating profit margin in 2024 is expected to remain static to 2023.

Headwinds

  • Growth in the first half of 2024 is expected to be in the low single-digits.
  • The first half of the year faces difficult comparisons to 2023.
  • Comparable hotel EBITDA margins are expected to decline compared to 2023, due to the impacts from the Maui wildfires and continued growth in wages, real estate taxes and insurance.
  • At the midpoint of guidance, the impact from the Maui wildfires is expected to be an approximate decline of 100 basis points in both RevPAR and Total RevPAR and 50 basis points in margins.
  • The guidance range does not include any assumption for business interruption proceeds from the Maui wildfires.
