Anthony Capuano, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Marriott achieved excellent results in 2024, as we delivered best-in-class experiences that helped drive strong demand for our industry-leading portfolio of brands. Full year global RevPAR rose 4.3 percent and, with record gross room additions of over 123,000, net rooms grew 6.8 percent to over 1.7 million rooms worldwide at year-end.
“In the fourth quarter, worldwide RevPAR rose 5 percent, driven by gains in both ADR and occupancy. International RevPAR increased by more than 7 percent, with APEC and EMEA leading the way and benefiting from strong leisure demand. RevPAR in the U.S. & Canada rose more than 4 percent, the region’s highest RevPAR increase of the year, with all customer segments growing versus the prior-year quarter.
“2024 was a terrific year for our development team. The company signed a record number of new deals, and our industry-leading development pipeline reached over 577,000 rooms at the end of the year. For the full year, conversions represented more than one-third of our rooms signings and over half of our room additions.
“We continued to enhance our portfolio to deliver new travel experiences to our guests around the world. We advanced our presence in the midscale segment with the opening of 28 Four Points Flex hotels across EMEA and APEC and the debut of the City Express by Marriott brand in the U.S. & Canada. We also strengthened our non-traditional offerings with founding deals in the outdoor lodging segment with key players Postcard Cabins and Trailborn.
“Looking ahead, I am incredibly optimistic about Marriott’s future. With our unparalleled global rooms distribution and brand portfolio, leading loyalty program with nearly 228 million Marriott Bonvoy members and our dedicated associates, I believe Marriott is well-positioned to take advantage of the continued momentum in travel. With our powerful, cash-generating asset-light business model, we look forward to delivering strong, valuable growth as we continue to connect people around the world through the power of travel.”Fourth Quarter 2024 ResultsBase management and franchise fees totaled $1,128 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, a 10 percent increase compared to base management and franchise fees of $1,026 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to RevPAR increases and unit growth, as well as higher residential and co-branded credit card fees.
Incentive management fees totaled $206 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, compared to $218 million in the 2023 fourth quarter, with growth in APEC offset by declines in U.S. & Canada and Greater China.
Owned, leased, and other revenue, net of direct expenses, totaled $100 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, compared to $151 million in the 2023 fourth quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a $63 million termination fee related to a development project in the year-ago quarter.
General, administrative, and other expenses for the 2024 fourth quarter totaled $289 million, compared to $330 million in the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year decline largely reflects lower administrative, bad debt and litigation expenses.
Interest expense, net, totaled $170 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, compared to $144 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was largely due to higher interest expense associated with higher debt balances.
In the 2024 fourth quarter, the provision for income taxes totaled a $143 million expense compared to a $267 million benefit in the 2023 fourth quarter. The unfavorable year-over-year change is primarily due to 2023 fourth quarter international intellectual property transactions resulting in $228 million of benefits and a $223 million release of a tax valuation allowance in the year-ago quarter.
Marriott’s reported operating income totaled $752 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, compared to 2023 fourth quarter reported operating income of $718 million. Reported net income totaled $455 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, compared to 2023 fourth quarter reported net income of $848 million. Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) totaled $1.63 in the quarter, compared to reported diluted EPS of $2.87 in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted operating income in the 2024 fourth quarter totaled $1,072 million, compared to 2023 fourth quarter adjusted operating income of $992 million. Fourth quarter 2024 adjusted net income totaled $686 million, compared to 2023 fourth quarter adjusted net income of $1,055 million. Adjusted diluted EPS in the 2024 fourth quarter totaled $2.45, compared to adjusted diluted EPS of $3.57 in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted results excluded cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, restructuring and merger-related charges and gain on asset dispositions. See the press release schedules for the calculation of adjusted results and the manner in which the adjusted measures are determined in this press release.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) totaled $1,286 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, a 7 percent increase compared to fourth quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $1,197 million. See the press release schedules for the adjusted EBITDA calculation.Full Year 2024 EPS ResultsFull year 2024 reported diluted EPS totaled $8.33, compared to reported diluted EPS of $10.18 in 2023. Full year 2024 adjusted diluted EPS totaled $9.33, compared to adjusted diluted EPS of $9.99 in 2023. Reported and adjusted results in 2024 included a $19 million ($14 million after-tax and $0.05 per share) guarantee reserve for a U.S. hotel, which was negotiated in connection with the Starwood acquisition. Reported and adjusted results in 2023 included a $63 million ($47 million after‐tax and $0.15 per share) termination fee related to a development project, $228 million ($0.75 per share) of tax benefits from international intellectual property transactions and a $223 million ($0.73 per share) favorable impact from the release of a tax valuation allowance.Selected Performance InformationNet rooms grew 6.8 percent from year-end 2023, as the company added roughly 109,000 net rooms globally during 2024, including more than 45,000 net rooms in international markets. At the end of the year, Marriott’s global system totaled over 9,300 properties, with roughly 1,706,000 rooms.
