RLJ Lodging Trust reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026, revealing a total revenue of $382.99 million, a 5.5% increase from $363.10 million in the same period last year. The growth was primarily driven by a $15.66 million rise in room revenue, which reached $311.76 million, alongside increases in food and beverage revenue and other income. For the first half of 2026, total revenues amounted to $722.97 million, up from $691.22 million in the prior year, reflecting a 4.6% increase.

The company’s net income for the second quarter was $31.33 million, compared to $28.63 million in the previous year, marking a 5.9% increase. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $24.76 million, or $0.16 per share, up from $22.17 million, or $0.15 per share, in the same quarter of 2025. For the first half of 2026, net income attributable to common shareholders was $18.34 million, down from $19.26 million in the prior year, largely due to increased operating expenses, which rose to $639.64 million from $612.91 million.

Significant operational developments included the completion of the 2026 Refinancing Transactions, which allowed the company to repay its 2026 Senior Notes at maturity. This included refinancing two mortgage loans, extending their maturities to April 2029, and upsizing a term loan to $569 million, with $494 million drawn on June 30, 2026. Additionally, RLJ Lodging Trust approved a new share repurchase program to acquire up to $250 million of common and preferred shares.

As of June 30, 2026, RLJ Lodging Trust owned 92 hotel properties with approximately 20,600 rooms across 23 states and the District of Columbia. The company reported a cash and cash equivalents balance of $937.60 million, significantly up from $410.16 million at the end of 2025. The increase in cash reserves was attributed to the recent borrowings under the term loans. The company’s total debt rose to $2.70 billion from $2.20 billion at the end of 2025, reflecting its strategic financing activities.

Looking ahead, RLJ Lodging Trust anticipates continued growth driven by increased leisure and corporate travel, as well as the ramp-up of recently renovated hotels. The company remains focused on enhancing its portfolio quality and maintaining a prudent capital structure, with expectations of further operational improvements in the coming quarters.
