Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 3 RADISSON BLU hotels (1 franchised, 2 managed) in the US operating as of Dec 31, 2025, which met the performance sample definition.
* The document provides Average Occupancy Rate, Average Daily Rate, and RevPAR for franchised and managed hotels, as well as Choice Proprietary and Privileges Contribution and ADR. These are performance rates and percentages, not the total annual gross revenue per unit or any profit figures (gross profit, net income, net profit, or EBITDA). The provided RevPAR and ADR values are daily rates and do not represent the total annual gross revenue expected by the prompt. The document explicitly states that the financial performance representations do not reflect costs of sales, operating expenses, or other expenses needed to obtain net income or profit, thus no profit metrics or estimates can be derived.
