Sunstone Hotel Investors Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2025

Fourth quarter results exceeded expectations, led by strong resort and urban hotel performance, robust cost controls, and strategic capital recycling. 2026 guidance anticipates continued RevPAR and earnings growth, with a cautious outlook due to market uncertainties and macro risks.
-
Third-quarter results met expectations, with strong cost controls and ancillary revenue offsetting softer room growth. San Francisco and group bookings led performance, while resorts showed improvement. Liquidity remains strong, and the outlook for Q4 and 2026 is positive despite market uncertainties.
-
Second quarter results met or exceeded expectations, led by strong urban and Wine Country hotel performance, but the outlook for 2025 is more cautious due to softness in government and leisure demand and a slower ramp-up at Andaz Miami Beach. Capital recycling and share repurchases remain a focus.
-
Q1 results exceeded expectations with strong event-driven demand and margin expansion. The Andaz Miami Beach opened in May, expected to drive H2 growth, while full-year guidance was revised conservatively due to macro uncertainty.
Fiscal Year 2024

Full-year EBITDA and FFO per share reached the high end of guidance, with strong group and urban market performance. 2025 outlook projects 7%-10% RevPAR growth, driven by new investments and disciplined cost management. Net leverage and capital investment levels are set to improve.
-
Q3 results were impacted by labor disruptions, weather, and softer leisure demand, but strong group and business transient performance in urban and convention hotels offset these headwinds. Renovations and acquisitions are expected to drive growth in 2025, with a solid balance sheet and capital allocation strategy supporting future opportunities.
-
Q2 results met expectations, with strong group and business transient demand offsetting softer leisure trends. Guidance for 2024 was lowered due to renovation delays and Maui softness, but 2025 outlook remains strong, supported by new investments and robust group pace.
