Apple Hospitality REIT reports Q1 MFFO 34c vs 33c last year

Reports Q1 revenue $327.7M vs. $384.37M last year. Justin Knight, Chief Executive Officer of Apple Hospitality, commented, “We are pleased to report a stronger-than-anticipated start to 2026, with first quarter Comparable Hotels RevPAR growth of more than 2% despite a challenging comparison to the first quarter of 2025 which benefited from wildfire-related recovery business in Southern California and the presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C. The efficient operating model of our hotels, combined with our prudent management of expenses, enabled us to deliver meaningful flow-through of top-line improvements to bottom-line performance, resulting in growth across first quarter Comparable Hotels Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAre and Modified Funds from Operations. Preliminary reports for the month of April indicate Comparable Hotels RevPAR growth of more than 4% as compared to the same period last year, supported by continued strength in demand and the benefit of favorable year-over-year comparisons. While geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties warrant a measured view of the balance of the year, demand for our broadly diversified, rooms-focused hotels has proven resilient. Recent improvements in occupancy and booking trends, combined with the strength and expertise of our operating and corporate teams, reinforce our confidence that we are well positioned to capture demand across our markets. Disciplined capital allocation has been central to our success over decades in the lodging industry. We prudently balance near- and long-term investment decisions to capitalize on current opportunities while ensuring we are well positioned for the future. When combined with our keen focus on operating fundamentals, this approach has enabled us to deliver compelling total returns to our shareholders across economic cycles through improvements in operating performance and long-term value creation. In April of this year, we completed the sale of our Hampton Inn & Suites in Rochester, Minnesota, for approximately $9 million. We continue to identify and execute on select opportunities that strengthen our existing portfolio, optimize our capital reinvestment program and enhance our long-term positioning. We are confident that with the experience, discipline and agility of our teams, the broad consumer appeal of our portfolio, and the strength and flexibility of our balance sheet, we are well positioned to successfully navigate changing market conditions and capitalize on emerging opportunities to deliver growth and maximize total returns for our shareholders over time.”
