Apple Hospitality REIT reports Q2 MFFO 50c, consensus 44c

Reports Q2 revenue $390.08M, consensus $387.51M. Justin Knight, Chief Executive Officer of Apple Hospitality, commented, “The fundamentals of our business remain strong, bolstered by the muted rate of new supply growth relative to historical levels. For the second quarter 2024, Comparable Hotels Occupancy was 80%, an improvement of more than 2% as compared to the second quarter 2023. While we believe our greatest opportunity for continued growth will come from the steady improvement we are seeing in midweek business travel demand, we were able to grow occupancy on both weekdays and weekends during the quarter, demonstrating the resilience of leisure travel demand and the upside we continue to realize as business travel patterns normalize. Comparable Hotels RevPAR for the second quarter improved by 2.5% as compared to the second quarter last year, with a marginal increase in ADR. Our revenue and asset management teams, together with our third-party operators, are intently focused on maximizing the profitability of our assets and optimizing their performance within their respective markets.”
