Marriott International Inc. reported second quarter 2026 results.
Franchise and base management fees totaled $1,366 million in the 2026 second quarter, a 14 percent increase compared to franchise and base management fees of $1,200 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher co-branded credit card fees, rooms growth and higher RevPAR.
Incentive management fees totaled $212 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $200 million in the 2025 second quarter, driven by strong year-over-year growth in the U.S. & Canada, partially offset by declines in EMEA. Managed hotels in international markets contributed over half of the incentive fees earned in the quarter.
Owned, leased, and other revenue, net of owned, leased, and other expense2, totaled $49 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $78 million in the 2025 second quarter. The decline primarily reflected a $27 million property-related litigation accrual ($20 million after-tax impact and $0.08 per share after-tax) as well as lower termination fees.
Depreciation, amortization, and other expenses totaled $115 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $53 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by a $68 million impairment charge recorded in connection with our sale of a U.S. & Canada hotel, which is excluded from our Adjusted results.
General and administrative expenses2 for the 2026 second quarter totaled $220 million, compared to $210 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting higher compensation costs, driven in part by timing.
Interest expense, net, totaled $201 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $191 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense associated with higher debt balances, partially offset by higher interest income.
In the 2026 second quarter, the provision for income taxes totaled $278 million, compared to $291 million in the 2025 second quarter.
Marriott’s reported operating income totaled $1,229 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to 2025 second quarter reported operating income of $1,236 million. Reported net income totaled $766 million in the 2026 second quarter, flat compared to 2025 second quarter reported net income of $763 million. Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) totaled $2.90 in the quarter, compared to reported diluted EPS of $2.78 in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted operating income in the 2026 second quarter totaled $1,329 million, compared to 2025 second quarter Adjusted operating income of $1,186 million. Second quarter 2026 Adjusted net income totaled $844 million, compared to 2025 second quarter Adjusted net income of $728 million. Adjusted diluted EPS in the 2026 second quarter totaled $3.19, compared to Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.65 in the year-ago quarter.
Second quarter 2026 Adjusted results excluded cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, restructuring and merger-related recoveries/charges, and other expenses, and certain impairment charges. 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 $1,592 million in the 2026 second quarter, a 13 percent increase compared to second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $1,415 million. See the press release schedules for the Adjusted EBITDA calculation.
