Notable concerns that warrant closer review
Revenue growth was driven by increased RevPAR (especially leisure transient travel outside the US) and growth in fee-based revenues (management, franchise) due to portfolio expansion.. Owned and leased hotel revenues also increased, supported by strong group and business transient travel.. The company has significant performance guarantees and debt repayment guarantees totaling $132 million and up to $149 million respectively, which could lead to material cash outflows if underlying obligations are not met.. Geographic revenue concentration in the US remains significant.
