Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results

Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights and Recent Developments:

  • The Company reported all-time quarterly record consolidated revenue of $647.6 million, driven by all-time quarterly record Hospitality revenue of $549.5 million and all-time quarterly record Entertainment revenue of $98.2 million.
  • The Company generated net income of $72.3 million and consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre of $188.6 million.
  • During the fourth quarter, the Company booked nearly 1.3 million same-store1 Gross Definite Room Nights for all future years at a record estimated average daily rate (ADR) for future bookings booked during any fourth quarter of approximately $284.
  • The Company repriced its Term Loan B, reducing the applicable interest rate margin on SOFR loans from 225 basis points to 200 basis points. The interest rate margin may be automatically lowered another 25 basis points if certain criteria are met.
  • The Company declared a cash dividend of $1.15 per share for the first quarter of 2025. The dividend is payable on April 15, 2025, to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2025.

Full Year 2024 Highlights:

  • The Company generated record full year consolidated revenue of $2.3 billion, with net income of $280.2 million and consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre of $757.7 million.
  • The Company estimates the full year impact of construction disruption to its same-store Hospitality business was approximately 320 basis points to RevPAR growth; approximately 220 basis points to Total RevPAR growth; and approximately $27 million to segment operating income and Adjusted EBITDAre. The Company estimates the full year impact of construction disruption to its Entertainment business was approximately $12 million to segment operating income and Adjusted EBITDAre.
  • In 2024, the Company booked over 2.9 million same-store Gross Definite Room Nights for all future years at a record estimated ADR for future bookings booked during any year of approximately $282. Projected same-store rooms revenue from 2024 bookings production for all future years was also a record.
  • In 2024, the Company declared total dividends of $4.45 per share, an increase of 15.6% from total dividends declared in 2023; intends to pay aggregate minimum dividends for 2025 of $4.60 per share, subject to the Board’s future determinations.

Mark Fioravanti, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “Our fourth quarter results were below expectations, primarily due to softness in holiday leisure demand during the last two weeks of December, particularly at Gaylord Texan and Gaylord Opryland. Same-store portfolio-wide ICE! attendance was up slightly compared to last year; however, consumers attending ICE! were more price sensitive than anticipated, contributing to overnight stays declining more than expected as compared to 2023. Despite the fourth quarter shortfall, we are proud of our full year results, including approximately 10% growth in consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, approximately 11.6% growth in AFFO and record same-store bookings production in the year for all future years.”

1 The same-store Hospitality segment excludes JW Marriott Hill Country, which was acquired June 30, 2023.

Note: Hospitality segment and the Same-Store Hospitality portfolio full year 2024 results reflect franchise tax refunds for prior tax periods of 2020 through 2023 totaling approximately $5.6 million, which were recognized in the second quarter of 2024.

Note: For the Company’s definitions of Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) and Total Revenue Per Available Room (Total RevPAR), see “Calculation of RevPAR, Total RevPAR, and Occupancy” below. Property-level results and operating metrics for fourth quarter 2024 are presented in greater detail below and under “Supplemental Financial Results—Hospitality Segment Adjusted EBITDAreReconciliations and Operating Metrics,” which includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures Hospitality Adjusted EBITDAreto Hospitality Operating Income, and property-level Adjusted EBITDAreto property-level Operating Income for each of the hotel properties.

Hospitality Segment Highlights

  • Full year same-store Total RevPAR record of $466.18, up 1.8% from full year 2023.
  • Full year same-store operating income record of $428.7 million and full year Adjusted EBITDAre record of $615.4 million.
  • Banquet and AV revenue set a fourth quarter record for the same-store Hospitality portfolio, increasing 5.1% year over year with strong contribution per group room night.
  • Same-store attrition and cancellation revenue was approximately $16.0 million in the fourth quarter and $40.6 million for the full year.
  • Across the same-store portfolio, the Company’s ICE! programming attracted over 1.2 million ticketed guests, up slightly compared to 2023 visitation levels. However, revenue and per-visitor spend at ICE! declined as compared to 2023 due to greater-than-anticipated consumer price sensitivity.
  • The first year of ICE! at JW Hill Country performed in line with our expectations and induced incremental transient demand in a previously low occupancy period. The positive reception in the market is encouraging, and we expect that this business will continue to build in the years to come.
  • As of December 31, 2024 for the same-store Hospitality portfolio, projected group rooms revenue on the books for 2025 was approximately 3% ahead of projected group rooms revenue on the books as of December 31, 2023, for 2024 (“same time last year”). Projected occupancy on the books for 2025 was approximately 50 percentage points, and projected ADR on the books for 2025 was approximately 4% ahead of same time last year.2

2 Beginning with Q1 2025, the Company plans to omit the presentation of same-store financial results, as 2024 includes a full year of JW Hill Country’s results. As of December 31, 2024 for the total Hospitality portfolio, projected group rooms revenue on the books for 2025 was approximately 3% ahead of same time last year. Projected occupancy on the books for 2025 was approximately 49 points, and projected ADR on the books for 2025 was approximately 4% ahead of same time last year.

Fioravanti continued, “Our Entertainment segment delivered strong performance, setting quarterly and full year records in revenue despite construction disruption from several planned investments. In 2024, we opened our newest Ole Red in Las Vegas; repositioned the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville, creating our newest brand, Category 10; and completed a major renovation at Block 21, which included the W Austin Hotel and the ACL Live venue. In January 2025, we made a strategic investment in a leading independent festival and live event operator, Southern Entertainment, which offers exciting potential growth opportunities, serving music fans in a complementary business. With these investments and our production plans for “Opry 100,” the centennial celebration of the Grand Ole Opry, we believe OEG is well-positioned for continued growth and success in 2025 and the years ahead.”

Capital Expenditures

In 2024, the Company’s capital expenditures totaled approximately $408 million, including approximately $301 million in its Hospitality segment and approximately $107 million in its Entertainment and Corporate & Other segments.

Major Hospitality projects included:

  • Development of a 26,000-square-foot pavilion (estimated project cost: $27 million3) and repositioning of the Grand Lodge atrium (estimated project cost: $42 million) at Gaylord Rockies, which were completed in June 2024 and November 2024, respectively;
  • Renovation of the Governor’s ballroom, meeting space and pre-function space at Gaylord Opryland (estimated project cost: $17 million), which was completed in January 2025;
  • Renovation of the lobby and rooms, excluding those added with the 2021 expansion, at Gaylord Palms (estimated project cost: $108 million), which was completed in February 2025; and
  • Renovation and reconfiguration of the Presidential ballroom, meeting space and pre-function space (estimated project cost: $36 million) and development of a new 550-seat sports bar, 3,000-square-foot pavilion and an adjacent event lawn (estimated project cost: $40 million) at Gaylord Opryland, which remain under construction.

3 Cash spending toward estimated project costs may occur over multiple calendar years.

Major Entertainment projects included:

  • Development of Ole Red Las Vegas (estimated project cost: $48 million), which opened in January 2024;
  • Renovation of Block 21 (estimated project cost: $40 million), including the rooms and public space at the W Austin Hotel and a private events terrace at the ACL Live venue, which was completed in December 2024; and
  • Repositioning of the former Wildhorse Saloon to Category 10 (estimated project cost: $42 million), which opened in November 2024, except for the rooftop, which opened in February 2025.

In 2025, the Company expects to spend approximately $400 to $500 million on capital expenditures, primarily related to its Hospitality business.

Major Hospitality projects planned for 2025 include:

  • Continuation of the renovation of the Presidential ballroom, meeting space and pre-function space at Gaylord Opryland, which is expected to be completed by mid-year 2025;
  • Continuation of the sports bar, pavilion and event lawn development at Gaylord Opryland, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026;
  • The recently announced meeting space expansion at Gaylord Opryland (estimated project cost: $131 million), which is now underway and expected to be completed in 2027; and
  • Renovation of the rooms at Gaylord Texan (estimated project cost: $140 million), which is expected to begin in May 2025 and run through mid-year 2026.

Disruption

The Company estimates the full year 2024 impact of construction disruption to its same-store Hospitality business was approximately 320 basis points to RevPAR growth; approximately 220 basis points to Total RevPAR growth; and approximately $27 million to operating income and Adjusted EBITDAre. These estimates increased from our original estimates due primarily to construction labor shortages in the Orlando market. In addition, we elected to accelerate the timing of several smaller related projects at Gaylord Palms, which, by addressing simultaneously with the rooms renovation, reduced the total cost of renovations that would have occurred over multiple years.

The Company estimates the full year 2024 impact of construction disruption to its Entertainment business was approximately $12 million to operating income and Adjusted EBITDAre.

Fioravanti continued, “We experienced more construction disruption in 2024 than we originally anticipated due primarily to construction labor issues in the Orlando market, which increased the average number of days rooms were out of service for renovation. While we had projected the potential of offsetting a portion of these delays through targeted efficiencies, increasingly challenging construction labor market conditions limited our progress. Given the market and property-specific nature of these delays, we do not expect to experience similar issues with our other capital projects underway.

As we articulated during our 2024 Investor Day, we are committed to the long-term positioning of our assets to better serve and create value for the group customer. It is evident from our results in recent years that this focus is generating superior returns for our shareholders. Furthermore, our pace of bookings and group rooms revenue on the books for all future years clearly demonstrates our customers are embracing these plans. We believe our capital deployment strategies, while somewhat disruptive in the short term, will drive long-term outperformance.”

For 2025, the Company estimates the full year impact of construction disruption to its total Hospitality business to be 250 to 350 basis points to RevPAR; 200 to 300 basis points to Total RevPAR; and $30 to $35 million to operating income and Adjusted EBITDAre. The Company expects disruption to impact results at Gaylord Opryland, Gaylord Texan and, to a lesser extent, Gaylord Palms (for the renovation period through February 2025).

Additional Information
This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Copies of our reports are available on our website at no expense at www.rymanhp.com and through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) at www.sec.gov.

Calculation of RevPAR and Total RevPAR
We calculate revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing room revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. We calculate total revenue per available room (“Total RevPAR”) for our hotels by dividing the sum of room revenue, food & beverage, and other ancillary services revenue by room nights available to guests for the period. Hospitality metrics do not include the results of the W Austin, which is included in the Entertainment segment.

Calculation of GAAP Margin Figures
We calculate net income available to common stockholders margin by dividing GAAP consolidated net income available to common stockholders by GAAP consolidated total revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level operating income margin by dividing consolidated, segment or property-level GAAP operating income by consolidated, segment or property-level GAAP revenue.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present the following non-GAAP financial measures we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating performance:

EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Definition
We calculate EBITDAre,which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in its September2017 white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change in control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the value of depreciated property of the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAreof unconsolidated affiliates.

Adjusted EBITDAre is then calculated as EBITDAre, plus to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

  • preopening costs;
  • non-cash lease expense;
  • equity-based compensation expense;
  • impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;
  • credit losses on held-to-maturity securities;
  • transaction costs of acquisitions;
  • interest income on bonds;
  • loss on extinguishment of debt;
  • pension settlement charges;
  • pro rata Adjusted EBITDArefrom unconsolidated joint ventures; and
  • any other adjustments we have identified herein.

We then exclude the pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDAre related to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture.

We use EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAreand Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture and segment or property-level EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics, and that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income or operating income, as applicable, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We make additional adjustments to EBITDArewhen evaluating our performance because we believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDAreand Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance and debt leverage metrics.

Adjusted EBITDAre Margin and Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin Definition
We calculate consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture by GAAP consolidated total revenue. We calculate consolidated, segment or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre Margin by dividing consolidated, segment-, or property-level Adjusted EBITDAre by consolidated, segment-, or property-level GAAP revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture Margin is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because this non-GAAP financial measure helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by presenting a ratio showing the quantitative relationship between Adjusted EBITDAre, Excluding Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture and GAAP consolidated total revenue or segment or property-level GAAP revenue, as applicable.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders Definition
We calculate FFO,which definition is clarified by NAREIT in itsDecember2018white paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts), gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from a change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciated real estate held by the entity, income (loss) from consolidated joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interest, and pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures.

To calculate Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders, we then exclude, to the extent the following adjustments occurred during the periods presented:

  • right-of-use asset amortization;
  • impairment charges that do not meet the NAREIT definition above;
  • write-offs of deferred financing costs;
  • amortization of debt discounts or premiums and amortization of deferred financing costs;
  • loss on extinguishment of debt;
  • non-cash lease expense;
  • credit loss on held-to-maturity securities;
  • pension settlement charges;
  • additional pro rata adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures;
  • (gains) losses on other assets;
  • transaction costs of acquisitions;
  • deferred income tax expense (benefit); and
  • any other adjustments we have identified herein.

FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders and Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders exclude the ownership portion of the joint ventures not controlled or owned by the Company.

We present Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders per diluted share/unit as a non-GAAP measure of our performance in addition to net income available to common stockholders per diluted share (calculated in accordance with GAAP). We calculate Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unit holders per diluted share/unit as Adjusted FFO (defined as set forth above) for a given operating period, as adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, divided by the number of diluted shares and units outstanding during such period.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the performance of our ongoing operations because each presents a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items, which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base than our ongoing operations. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures as measures in determining our results after considering the impact of our capital structure.

We caution investors that non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. The non-GAAP financial measures we present, and any related per share measures, should not be considered as alternative measures of our net income, operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily better indicators of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, or cash flow from operations.
