Host Hotels & Resorts

We’re honored to receive Hyatt's inaugural Purpose & Care Award in recognition of our response to the devastating Maui wildfires in 2023. At Host Hotels & Resorts, supporting communities in times of crisis is important to us. From providing immediate relief to offering long-term support for displaced colleagues, guests, first responders, and the Maui community, we remain committed to recovery and rebuilding. This award is a reflection of the shared values we have with Hyatt, and together with purpose and care, we can all make a meaningful impact in our local communities. #PurposeAndCare #MauiStrong #HyattCares #HostHotels #LetsDoSomethingEPIC #HostCommunityImpact

What an incredible past two weeks we've had with our #Littles as part of our Beyond School Walls program with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the National Capital Area! Two weeks ago, we dove into a world of gooey fun and scientific curiosity by making slime together. Last week, we switched gears and unleashed our inner artists by decorating cookies. These moments remind us of the power of mentorship and the joy of shared experiences. We're so grateful to be part of this journey with our Littles and can't wait for more adventures this school year! #BeyondSchoolWalls #BigBrothersBigSisters #Community?

Yesterday, Host Hotels & Resorts reported results for fourth quarter and full year 2024. 2024 HIGHLIGHTS We finished 2024 above our most recent guidance estimates, delivering operational improvements driven by continued rate growth and out-of-room spending. We acquired $1.5 billion of iconic and irreplaceable real estate across four properties, three of which are in new markets for Host. We also continued to reinvest nearly $550 million in our portfolio through capital expenditures and resiliency investments. In addition, we returned $844 million of capital to stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases while maintaining an investment grade balance sheet. Q4 2024 RESULTS We delivered comparable hotel total RevPAR growth of 3.3% and comparable hotel RevPAR growth of 3.0% over fourth quarter 2023, driven by improvements in food and beverage revenues from group business, improving leisure transient trends in Maui and increased ancillary revenue. Operating profit margin was 11.0%, down 210 basis points as a result of a $35 million decrease in net gains on insurance settlements. Comparable Hotel EBITDA margin was 28.1%, up 30 basis points, driven by improvements in rate, increases in ancillary spending, sustained productivity improvements, and certain one-time items. Overall transient revenue grew 8%, led by leisure in Maui, New York, and O’ahu. 2025 OUTLOOK We are encouraged by the state of travel, as affluent consumers continue to prioritize experiences, and the supply picture for our markets and chain scales remains below historical levels. Our 2025 guidance range contemplates a stable operating environment with continued improvement in group business, a continued gradual recovery in business transient, steady leisure demand, and improving demand on Maui as the island recovers from the August 2023 wildfires. CONFERENCE CALL We will hold our investor call today at 10:00 a.m. ET and look forward to discussing our results and business outlook.

Host’s annual holiday gift drive helped make spirits bright this holiday season! Led by our service team of employee volunteers, together we helped make gift wishes come true for 70 local children in need in partnership with Central Union Mission. Through the generosity of our employees, we fulfilled their holiday wish lists, and gave each child a cozy winter coat, hat and gloves plus a copy of James Tate's brand-new children's book authored by his sons. A highlight of the event was our annual gift-wrapping party, where employees from across the company came together to wrap all of the donated gifts and spread holiday cheer. The holiday spirit carried on as we ended the day with a festive happy hour to celebrate the joy of giving back. We are proud to help make a difference for families in our local community and spread a little extra kindness and joy this holiday season. #LetsDoSomethingEPIC
