Whitbread reported continued strong trading in the third quarter of FY26, with group sales up 2% to £781m, driven by positive accommodation revenue in both the UK and Germany, and solid outperformance versus the wider midscale and economy hotel markets. UK RevPAR rose 3% with a maintained premium over competitors, while Germany delivered a 16% increase in total accommodation sales and robust RevPAR growth as its estate matures, keeping the business on track for profitability there this year. The group lifted its FY26 cost-efficiency target to £75m–£80m through labour, technology and procurement savings and confirmed that the expected FY27 hit from UK business rates changes has been reduced to about £35m, although it continues to warn that the new regime is damaging to the hospitality sector.
