u.s. lodging industry profitability Hotel industry revenue levels topped an estimated US$176 billion in 2014, adding nearly $14 billion in revenue from 2013. Total industry-wide house profit reached nearly US$66 billion, an increase of 12.8% over 2013. On an absolute nominal basis, this house profit represents an all-time high, though as a percent of total revenue is still below profit levels recorded in the late 1990 s, 2006 and 2007. The following chart details U.S. hotel industry profitability from 1990 to 2014. Please note this data extrapolates only on scale with the total amount of properties reporting room revenue to STR and uses all properties that reported profitability data, not just same-store properties. Also, house profit is defined as profit before deductions for fixed charges and management fees.

On a per-available-room basis, we re seeing administrative and general, marketing, maintenance and utilities at growth rates much higher than what we experienced last year. We re also seeing total management fees growing faster than total revenue, which indicates incentive fees are finally kicking in. HOST Almanac 2015 Page 4
