Factors Setting the Tone for Hyatt's (H) Earnings in Q1
Read MoreHide Full Article
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2022 results on May 10, 2022, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company reported a negative earnings surprise of 2,216.7%.
The Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the first-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of 41 cents per share, indicating an improvement of 88.5% from a loss of $3.57 reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at approximately $1,098 million, suggesting a surge of 150.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Let's look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors to Note
Hyatt’s first-quarter 2022 performance is likely to have benefited from a gradual increase in demand, new hotel openings, a loyalty program and strong booking trends. Emphasis on integrating new growth platforms (through the Apple Leisure Group acquisition) is likely to have driven the first-quarter top line. During the previous quarter’s earnings call, the company stated that the net package RevPAR for comparable ALG resorts in the Americas was 85% of 2019 levels. Also, it stated that gross package revenue booked for future periods increased from approximately 93% (of 2019 levels) in January to more than 135% (of 2019 levels) through mid-February. Given the growing leisure demand and increased airlift capacity, the momentum is likely to have continued in the first quarter.
The solid performance of Owned and leased hotels as well as managed and the franchised business segment is likely to have driven the top line in the first quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Owned and leased hotels revenues is currently pegged at $277 million, indicating growth of 166.3% from $104 million reported in the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for Management and franchise fees is pegged at $140 million, indicating a surge of 122.2% from $63 million reported in the previous quarter.
The negative influence of the omicron variant on hotel bookings and supply chain issues are likely to have hurt the company’s operations in the first quarter. Although sequential improvements in RevPAR are likely, it is still anticipated to remain below the pre-pandemic levels in the to-be-reported quarter.
