PPHE Hotel Group reported a strong finish to 2025, saying on Wednesday that total revenue and EBITDA for the full year are expected to meet market expectations after a particularly solid fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the group recorded a 4.9% increase in room revenue and a 5.0% rise in revenue per available room (RevPAR). Those gains were supported by a 7.8% uplift in average room rate and by favorable foreign exchange movements, the company said.
Looking at like-for-like performance, Q4 like-for-like revenue rose 4.6%, while like-for-like RevPAR increased by 3.6%.
For the full year 2025, PPHE has forecast reported room revenue of £330.4 million, a 4.2% increase versus the prior year. Annual RevPAR rose 2.6% to 3.4, supported by an average room rate of £164.3 and occupancy of 75.1%. On a like-for-like basis, RevPAR rose 2.4% for the year.
Regional trading showed a mixed picture. The company's UK hotels benefited from occupancy-led growth, the update said. By contrast, trading in the Netherlands and Germany remained subdued over the period. Croatia produced a strong summer season, contributing positively to the full-year results.
Greg Hegarty, Co-CEO of PPHE Hotel Group, commented on the performance, saying: "2025 was another year of financial and strategic progress for PPHE Hotel Group, achieved against a volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. We are encouraged by our solid delivery in the final quarter of the year, with full-year results expected to be in line with market expectations."
