Current wording
•world events impacting the ability or desire of people to travel;
Previous wording
Our first quarter operating results showed continuing gains in occupancy and ancillary revenue at our resorts and recently redeveloped properties. Our urban properties experienced a decline in total revenue per available room primarily as a result of the reduced travel to Los Angeles due to the wildfires and the renovation and brand conversion of Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica. Our Washington D.C. properties benefited from the inauguration and San Francisco generated strong results driven by a positive convention calendar and rising business demand. With uncertainty around the impact of trade policy and broader economic conditions on business and international inbound travel, near-term forecasting has become more challenging. We remain focused on proactive revenue generation efforts and expense management.
Current wording
Our second quarter operating results exceeded our outlook, led by a strong rebound in San Francisco. In addition, our recently redeveloped properties are gaining momentum and market share, with Newport Harbor Island Resort delivering results well above our expectations in its first full year of operations following the comprehensive transformation completed last spring. Our Los Angeles properties continued to be challenged as the city recovered from the wildfires in early 2025 and the ramp-up of Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica following its renovation and brand conversion. Our Washington D.C. properties benefited from the inauguration in the first quarter and San Francisco generated strong results driven by a positive convention calendar and rising business demand. We remain cautious given the broader economic backdrop and evolving trade and policy risks. We will continue to operate with discipline, and we remain focused on proactive revenue-generation efforts and expense management.
