Summit Hotel Properties reports Q2 adjusted FFO 27c, consensus 26c

Reports Q2 revenue $192.92M, consensus $195.06M. Reports Q2 Same store RevPAR down 3.6% to $128.07 vs. last year. “Despite a challenging operating backdrop in the second quarter, we continued to successfully execute on a number of key strategic priorities. RevPAR index, our best measure of market share, increased nearly 150 basis points to 115% during the quarter and year-to-date operating expenses have increased a mere 1.5% as we continue to effectively manage expenses and benefit from the efficient operating model of our hotel portfolio. While RevPAR in our same store portfolio declined 3.6 percent during the second quarter, this was significantly influenced by difficult comparisons to robust special event driven demand that benefited the second quarter of last year. Overall demand across the Company’s portfolio remains stable as absolute occupancy in the second quarter approached record highs. Our portfolio of high quality, well located hotels is in excellent physical condition and we believe remains well positioned for longer-term, outsized growth,” said Jonathan P. Stanner, President and CEO.
