The American hotel group Hilton posted a strong second quarter in 2025, driven by high profitability and a pipeline of projects at an all-time high.
Hilton recorded total revenue of $3.14 billion in the second quarter, up from $2.95 billion in the same period last year. This growth comes despite a 0.5% decline in revenue per available room (RevPAR) on a comparable and currency-neutral basis.
Net income was $442 million, up from $422 million in the second quarter of 2024. Diluted earnings per share were $1.84, and $2.20 when adjusted for exceptional items. Adjusted EBITDA climbed to $1.008 billion, compared to $917 million a year earlier. The group thus managed to maintain its margins in a context marked by unfavorable calendar effects and declining international demand.
Christopher J. Nassetta, CEO of the hotel group, commented : « We continued to demonstrate the power of our resilient business model as we delivered strong bottom line results in the quarter, even with modestly negative top line performance given holiday and calendar shifts, reduced government spending, softer international inbound business and broader economic uncertainty. »
