Pebblebrook Hotel Trust reported first‑quarter 2026 results on April 28 2026, showing revenue of $345.7 million—an 8.8% year‑over‑year increase from $320.3 million in Q1 2025. Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) reached $0.32 per share, surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.19 per share and exceeding the company’s own guidance range of $0.19 to $0.23 per share.
Revenue growth was driven by strong demand in key urban markets, particularly San Francisco and Los Angeles, and in resort locations. Cost‑control initiatives kept operating expenses in check, resulting in a margin expansion of 327 basis points. Same‑property hotel EBITDA rose 27.6% and adjusted EBITDAre increased 29.5%, underscoring the effectiveness of Pebblebrook’s portfolio redevelopment strategy.
The company maintained its full‑year FFO guidance at $1.60 to $1.70 per share, reflecting confidence in continued operational strength and the momentum of its redevelopment projects.
CEO Jon Bortz said the results “reflect the successful execution of our strategic initiatives and robust demand across our portfolio.” He added that the quarter’s strength was “broad‑based across our urban and resort markets and extended well beyond San Francisco and Los Angeles,” and expressed excitement about the 2026 outlook.
Management noted headwinds such as geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, while highlighting tailwinds from the recovery of urban markets, the ramp‑up of redevelopment projects, and a favorable industry supply environment.
The filing also highlighted ongoing share‑repurchase activity and debt‑reduction plans, reinforcing Pebblebrook’s commitment to long‑term value creation for shareholders.
