Accor has once again posted dynamic growth in its business this quarter, driven by continued strong demand. Our diversified geographic positioning and leadership in the most promising markets, combined with the strength of our attractive and distinctive brands, enable us to continue to grow in a more volatile geopolitical and economic environment. In this context, while maintaining strong operational discipline, we are pursuing our strategy of development and value creation and are confident in our ability to continue improving our performance. Sébastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO of Accor

In a volatile political and consumer environment, the global demand in the hospitality sector remained sustained during the first quarter of 2025. The diversification of the hotel portfolio, in terms of geography and segments, enables the Group to report encouraging performances, although subject to the uncertainties of the economic environment.

In the first quarter of 2025, Accor opened 45 hotels corresponding to more than 5,900 rooms, representing a net unit growth of 2.7% over the last twelve months, which should accelerate from the start of the second half of 2025. At the end of March 2025, the Group had a hotel network of 847,290 rooms (5,695 hotels) and a pipeline of more than 235,000 rooms (1,388 hotels).

First-quarter 2025 RevPAR

The Premium, Midscale and Economy (PM&E) division posted a 3.4% increase in RevPAR compared with the first quarter of 2024, driven 90% by prices and 10% by the occupancy rate.

The Luxury & Lifestyle (L&L) division posted RevPAR up 8.3% compared with the first quarter of 2024, driven by prices and occupancy rates, which contributed two-thirds and one-third, respectively. All brands in the Luxury & Lifestyle division outperformed the PM&E division in comparable areas, demonstrating the resilience of this segment.

Group revenue

For the first quarter of 2025, the Group recorded revenue of ¤1,349 million, up 9.2% compared with the first quarter of 2024. This growth breaks down as a 1.8% increase for the Premium, Midscale and Economy division and a 17.9% increase for the Luxury & Lifestyle division.

Scope effects, mainly linked to the full-year effect of Rikas (acquired in March 2024) in the Luxury & Lifestyle division (the Hotel Assets & Other activity), positively contributed for ¤28 million.

Currency effects had a negative impact of ¤9 million, mainly due to the depreciation of the Egyptian pound ((29)%) and the Brazilian real ((13)%), and partially offset by the strengthening of the US dollar (+4%).

Premium, Midscale & Economy revenue

Premium, Midscale and Economy, which includes fees from Management & Franchise (M&F), Services to Owners and Hotel Assets & Other of the Group’s Premium, Midscale and Economy brands, generated revenue of ¤703 million, up 1.8% compared with the first quarter of 2024.

The Management & Franchise (M&F) revenue stood at ¤200 million, up 3.9% compared with the first quarter of 2024, slightly above the RevPAR growth (+3.4%). The regional performance of Management & Franchise is detailed in the pages hereafter.

Services to Owners revenue, which include Sales, Marketing, Distribution and Loyalty division, as well as shared services and reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of hotel owners, totaled ¤266 million, up 5.4% compared with the first quarter of 2024. This increase, stronger than the change in RevPAR, reflects an improvement in our distribution channel mix.

Hotel Assets & Other revenue was down 3.5% compared with the first quarter of 2024. This activity is strongly linked to business in Australia and Brazil. The East coast of Australia, where most of the hotel assets are located, was hit by Tropical Storm Alfred in early March. The strong growth in RevPAR in Brazil mentioned above is not reflected in revenue due to negative exchange rate fluctuations.

Luxury & Lifestyle revenue

Luxury & Lifestyle, which includes fees from Management & Franchise (M&F), Services to Owners and Hotel Assets & Other activities of the Group's Luxury & Lifestyle brands, generated revenue of ¤668 million, up 17.9% compared with the first quarter of 2024.

The Management & Franchise (M&F) revenue stood at ¤122 million, up 19.6% compared with the first quarter of 2024, driven by the change in RevPAR (+8.3%), incentives fees and network growth in Lifestyle.

Services to Owners revenue, which include Sales, Marketing, Distribution and Loyalty division, as well as shared services and reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of hotel owners, totaled ¤397 million, up 14.6% compared with the first quarter of 2024, driven by an improvement in the contribution of the loyalty program.

Hotel Assets & Other revenue was up 25.9% compared with the first quarter of 2024. This activity includes a significant scope effect linked to the acquisition of Rikas (in March 2024) and the opening of new restaurants by Paris Society over the last twelve months.

Management & Franchise (M&F) revenue came to ¤321 million, up 9.3% compared with the first quarter of 2024.

The PM&E division posted M&F revenue up 3.9%, in line with RevPAR growth over the period (+3.4%). However, there were some distortions in the analysis by region.

The L&L division posted a 19.6% increase in M&F revenue, supported by strong growth in RevPAR (+8.3%), incentives fees and network growth in Lifestyle.

Return to shareholders

During the publication of its 2024 annual results on February 20, 2025, Accor announced the implementation of a ¤440 million share buyback program in 2025. In this context, the Group announced on March 6, 2025, the launch of the first tranche of this share buyback program for an amount of ¤200 million.

Events since January 1st, 2025

Bond issue

On February 25, 2025, Accor successfully placed a ¤600 million 8-year bond with a coupon of 3.50%. The success of this issue reflects Accor's strong credit quality and investor confidence in its business model, growth potential and financial structure. This transaction enabled the Group to take advantage of attractive market conditions and significantly extend the average maturity of its debt. The proceeds of the issue will be used for the Group's general corporate purposes.

Accor expands its network in the Americas with the addition of 17 hotels
