Current report
The U.S. economy is projected to deliver moderate growth in 2026, broadly comparable to that of 2025. Growth is supported by easing financial conditions, fiscal stimulus and incremental investment in technology, while constrained by a softening labor market, affordability pressures, and the impacts of an uncertain trade policy. Inflation has moderated from the peak levels observed in recent years but is forecasted to remain above the Federal Reserve's long-term target of 2% in 2026. While interest rate reductions are anticipated this year, the Federal Reserve has continued to signal a cautious, data-dependent approach to monetary policy as it assesses progress towards price stability and conditions in the labor market. Consumer spending, which has been a key source of economic resilience, is expected to remain positive in 2026 but with growth decelerating from 2025 levels. Spending patterns are likely to remain uneven, with higher‑income households continuing to

Current report
Travel demand remains sensitive to macroeconomic conditions, and uncertainty surrounding economic growth continues to influence the hospitality industry. Travel demand is expected to remain relatively steady in 2026 with RevPAR growth driven primarily by higher rates; however, elevated operating costs, particularly related to labor, utilities, and property taxes are expected to continue to pressure hotel profitability and operating margins. Changes in labor market conditions and broader economic uncertainty may also influence consumer confidence and discretionary spending.
Current report
Our portfolio, which consists primarily of luxury and upper upscale hotels and resorts in major urban centers and desirable leisure destinations, is well positioned for continued resilient performance. Our portfolio is relatively insulated from competitive new supply and the majority of our hotels are marketed to higher-income consumers. While certain markets may experience moderating demand trends, as consumers adjust discretionary spending in response to evolving economic conditions, we do expect pricing power to be maintained and ancillary revenues to continue to increase in the portfolio.
Current report
In 2026, we expect to benefit from: (1) the ownership of a high-quality portfolio, (2) return on investments from recently completed renovations, rebrandings, and repositionings, and limited earnings disruption from ongoing renovations, (3) incremental travel demand from a favorable holiday calendar and one-time events, such as the FIFA World Cup, (4) asset management initiatives, and (5) a conservative debt capital structure.
Current report
Rooms revenues decreased by $14.0 million from the year ended December 31, 2024 to the year ended December 31, 2025. A decrease of $22.6 million was attributable to our 2025 Disposition, which was partially offset by an increase of $8.4 million due to our 2024 Acquisition. The remaining increase in rooms revenues of $0.2 million was due to a modest decline in lodging demand offset by ADR growth in group and business transient segments.
Current report
Food and beverage revenues increased $0.1 million from the year ended December 31, 2024 to the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to growth in banquets, catering, and service charge revenues, offset by a decrease of $5.7 million due to our 2025 Disposition.
Current report
Our hotel operating expenses decreased $8.9 million from $818.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $809.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, with $20.6 million of such decrease attributable to our 2025 Disposition, partially offset by an increase of $7.3 million due to our 2024 Acquisition. The remaining increase of $13.3 million was due to higher property tax assessments, primarily related to our Chicago hotels, as well as increases in utilities and repairs and maintenance costs.
Current report
Depreciation and amortization. Our depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.5 million from $113.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $113.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to our 2025 Disposition.
Current report
The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to our mortgage debt repayments in 2025.
Current report
Income taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized an income tax benefit of $1.2 million, which was primarily related to the release of $2.4 million of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The release was driven by improved evidence of realizability at our TRSs, including cumulative taxable income over the most recent three-year period, the expected reversal of certain taxable temporary differences, and forecasted future taxable income. This benefit was slightly offset by state and local income tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized income tax expense of $1.5 million, which was primarily related to state and local income tax expense. The income tax expense was slightly offset by a release of $0.2 million of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

Previous report
U.S. economic growth is broadly projected to remain moderate in 2025, with persistent effects of monetary policy, elevated interest rates, and evolving consumer spending patterns influencing both businesses and households. While many economic forecasts suggest that the U.S. will continue to avoid a recession, growth is expected to be subdued, shaped by a cooling labor market, tighter credit conditions, and geopolitical uncertainties. Inflation has moderated but remains above the Federal Reserve’s long-term target, and the Federal Reserve has signaled a cautious approach in determining the pace and timing of future interest rate reductions, if any. While some easing is anticipated in 2025, the extent and impact of any rate cuts on capital markets, business investment, and consumer behavior remain uncertain. Travel demand is highly sensitive to changes in macroeconomic factors and even the threat of a modest slowdown creates a backdrop of uncertainty for the hospitality industry. Corporate and group travel demand is expected to remain steady, but persistent inflation, elevated operating costs, and

Previous report
Our portfolio, which consists primarily of luxury and upper upscale hotels and resorts in major urban centers and desirable leisure destinations, is well positioned for continued resilient performance. More than 60% of our 2024 earnings came from our urban hotels, and we expect further recovery in group and corporate transient travel as businesses continue to refine their hybrid work models. Group meetings and events are anticipated to continue to drive revenue growth, supported by an evolving office environment where companies prioritize offsite meetings to foster collaboration and engagement. Corporate transient demand is expected to show incremental improvements, benefiting from higher office attendance and expanding business travel budgets. While drive-to-resort destinations remain attractive, shifting economic conditions and evolving travel patterns could lead to some moderation in leisure spending. Longer term, we believe robust secular demand for experiential leisure travel, low growth in directly competitive supply, and targeted investments to renovate and reposition destination hotels can extend and intensify our growth. We anticipate industry profitability will be challenged by elevated interest rates and cost pressures on labor, insurance and property taxes. We continue to work closely with our hotel managers to maximize revenue and identify operating efficiencies.
Previous report
We expect the continued expansion of corporate travel demand will enable the industry to improve profits in 2025 and we enter the year with several favorable factors, including: (1) ownership of a high-quality portfolio, (2) expected internal growth from six recent and one additional in-process hotel rebranding or repositionings, (3) expected internal growth from the continuation of our asset management initiatives and return on investment projects, (4) conservative debt capital structure, and (5) liquidity of $584.3 million as of December 31, 2024.

Rooms revenues increased by $25.2 million from the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2024, $4.1 million of which was due to the acquisition of the non-comparable properties. The remaining increase of $21.1 million was the result of improved occupancy at our resort hotels and increased ADR at our urban hotels.
Previous report

Our hotel operating expenses increased $36.5 million from $781.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $818.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, $8.3 million of which was due to the acquisition of non-comparable properties. The remaining increase in hotel operating expenses was primarily due to higher occupancy levels and increased labor costs. Other property level expenses increased due to higher property tax assessments and insurance premiums.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization on our hotel buildings is generally recorded over a 40 year period subsequent to an acquisition. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are estimated as the time period between the acquisition date and the date that the hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Our depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.3 million from $111.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $113.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the acquisition of the non-comparable properties.

No business interruption insurance income was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The increase in interest expense is primarily the result of elevated interest rates offset by the reduction in mortgage related interest due to the payoff of our Courtyard Midtown mortgage loan in August 2024.
Previous report
Income taxes. We recorded an income tax expense of $1.5 million in 2024 and income tax expense of $0.3 million in 2023. The increase in income tax expense was the result of a $1.0 million change in our valuation allowance included in our 2023 income tax provision as well as higher state tax expense in 2024. The 2024 income tax provision includes a change in our valuation allowance of $0.2 million.
Previous report
On August 6, 2024, we paid off $73.3 million outstanding on the Courtyard New York Manhattan/Midtown East mortgage loan using cash on hand. We have three mortgage loans that mature in the next twelve months. We are actively pursuing a financing transaction the proceeds of which will be used to repay the three mortgage loans that mature in 2025. In the case that we are unsuccessful with obtaining this new financing, we may repay such mortgage loans using cash on hand and our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2024, we had $400 million of borrowing capacity under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
Previous report
Our mortgage debt agreements contain “cash trap” provisions that are triggered when the hotel’s operating results fall below a certain debt service coverage ratio. When these provisions are triggered, all of the excess cash flow generated by the hotel is deposited directly into cash management accounts for the benefit of our lenders until a specified debt service coverage ratio is reached and maintained for a certain period of time. Such provisions do not allow the lender the right to accelerate repayment of the underlying debt. As of December 31, 2024, we had no cash traps in place.

Previous report
During 2024, inflation levels began to decrease, but remained elevated relative to the years preceding 2021. While the Federal Reserve made several cuts to interest rates in the second half of 2024 in response to decreases in inflation levels, it continues to indicate that it will remain cautious in determining whether to hold its benchmark rate at current levels or continue to slowly ease interest rates throughout 2025. Any increases in interest rates, especially if coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may have the effect of further increasing economic uncertainty, and increasing the cost of new indebtedness and servicing our outstanding variable rate debt.

DiamondRock Hospitality Company (the “Company” or “we”) is a lodging-focused real estate company that owns a portfolio of premium hotels and resorts. As of December 31, 2024, we owned 37 hotels with 10,004 rooms located in 26 different markets in the U.S. The markets that we target are those that we believe align with our strategic objectives, which include investing in assets in destination markets with constrained supply trends, those that provide geographic diversity relative to our existing portfolio, and those markets that are considered to have high growth potential. Our hotels are concentrated in major urban markets and in destination resort locations and more than 60% of our hotels are operated under a brand owned by one of the leading global lodging brand companies (Marriott International, Inc., Hilton Worldwide, or IHG Hotels & Resorts). We are an owner, as opposed to an operator, of the hotels in our portfolio. As an owner, we receive all of the operating profits or losses generated by our hotels after we pay fees to the hotel managers and hotel brands, which are based on the revenues and profitability of the hotels.

DiamondRock Hospitality Company (the “Company”, “we”, or "our") is a self-managed and self-administered lodging-focused real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns a portfolio of premium hotels and resorts. As of December 31, 2025, we owned 35 hotels with 9,595 rooms located in 26 markets in the United States. The markets that we target for ownership are those that we believe align with our strategic objectives, which include those in destination markets with constrained supply trends, those that provide geographic diversity relative to our existing portfolio, and those we consider to have high demand growth potential. We are an owner, as opposed to an operator, of the hotels in our portfolio. As an owner, we receive all operating profits or losses generated by our hotels after we pay fees to the hotel managers, which are based on the revenues and profitability of the hotels, and the hotel brands, in certain cases, which are based on the revenues of the hotels. Each hotel is positioned to maximize its cash flow and value; accordingly, we choose to operate nearly 40% of our portfolio as an independent hotel and the remainder are operated under a brand owned by one of the leading global lodging brand companies (Marriott International, Hilton Worldwide, or IHG Hotels & Resorts).

Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as the product of ADR and occupancy percentage, is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel level and across our business as a whole. We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a company-wide and regional basis. ADR and RevPAR include only room revenue. Room revenue comprised approximately 66% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 and is dictated by demand, as measured by occupancy percentage, pricing, as measured by ADR, and our available supply of hotel rooms.

City Center was a result of our evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying amount of the hotel due to our determination in the fourth quarter of 2024 that it is more likely than not that the hotel will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The impairment adjusts the hotel's carrying amount to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including cash provided by operations, borrowings, issuances of additional equity, including common OP units, and/or debt securities and proceeds from property dispositions. Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors, including the state of the credit markets, our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions imposed by existing lenders. Our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional equity and/or debt securities is also dependent on a number of factors including the current state of the capital markets, investor sentiment and our intended use of proceeds. We may need to raise additional capital if we identify acquisition opportunities that meet our investment objectives and require liquidity in excess of existing cash balances. Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities depends on, among other things, general market conditions for hotel companies and REITs and market perceptions about us.
Current wording
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional hotels, renovations and other capital expenditures that need to be made periodically to our hotels, scheduled debt payments, debt maturities, certain redemptions of common OP units, ground lease payments, share repurchases, and making distributions to our common stockholders. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including cash provided by operations, borrowings, issuances of additional equity, including common OP units, and/or debt securities and proceeds from property dispositions. Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors, including the state of the credit markets, our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions imposed by existing lenders.

Since our formation in 2004, we have been committed to a conservative capital structure with prudent leverage. Our outstanding debt consists of fixed interest rate mortgage debt, unsecured term loans and periodic borrowings on our senior unsecured credit facility. We have a preference to maintain a significant portion of our portfolio as unencumbered in order to provide balance sheet flexibility. We expect that our strategy will enable us to maintain a balance sheet with an appropriate amount of debt throughout all phases of the lodging cycle. We believe that it is prudent to reduce the inherent risk of highly cyclical lodging fundamentals through a low leverage capital structure.

We believe that we maintain a reasonable amount of debt. As of December 31, 2024, we had $1.1 billion of debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.21% and a weighted average maturity date of approximately 1.7 years, assuming all extension options available in our debt agreements are exercised. We have three mortgage loans that mature in the next twelve months. We are actively pursuing a financing transaction the proceeds of which will be used to repay the three mortgage loans that mature in 2025. In the case that we are unsuccessful with obtaining this new financing, we may repay such mortgage loans using cash on hand and our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. We expect that our weighted average interest rate will increase as we refinance our debt at less favorable rates. As of December 31, 2024, 34 of our 37 hotels are unencumbered by mortgage debt. We remain committed to our core strategy of prudent leverage.
