Mark Dixon, Chief Executive of International Workplace Group plc, said:
"I am pleased with the financial results in the third quarter of 2025. The incremental investment we have made in our Managed & Franchised segment has already led to an acceleration in the number of locations we have opened and added to the pipeline as we continue to expand our network and coverage. The evolution of occupancy and pricing sets us up well for further growth in the remainder of the year and into 2026. Operational cash generation is enabling the ongoing share buyback."

Managed & Franchised: Continues to deliver excellent results
Incremental discretionary investment into the segment has accelerated signings and openings when compared to 2024. System-wide revenue for the quarter has grown 36% year-over-year. Recurring management fees delivered growth of 83% year-over-year for the quarter.
At the end of Q3 2025, we had 245,000 rooms open, with a further 190,000 rooms in the pipeline (signed, not yet opened). Once these rooms are all open and mature, they are expected to produce system-wide revenues of more than $1.6bn per year.

1. Includes the Gross revenue of starter kits, previously disclosed as net. Impact of $9m in Q3 2025.
Company-owned: Good revenue visibility as increased occupancy built in H1 2025 continues through Q3 and is expected to drive RevPAR in 2026
Strategy to grow occupancy as previously outlined is working and feeding through to revenues. These higher occupancy levels are expected to drive revenue throughout Q4 and into 2026. We continue to selectively add new locations aligned with our capital-light strategy.

RevPAR - evolving as expected
Whilst we have previously stated we target $250 of RevPAR at maturity across our Managed Partnerships, it is important to note that RevPAR continues to rise beyond the 18-month stage putting upward pressure on system revenue for the segment. RevPAR continues to evolve as expected across the Group.

Other | 26 | 33 | 7 |
Net financial debt | 813 | 754 | (59) |
Net financial debt increased over the quarter driven by:
· Acceleration of the share buyback program to take advantage of lower prices with repurchase of 16,748,305 shares for $47m as part of the Group's share buyback programme in Q3
· Customary working capital movements from supplier payments
Offset by:
· Cashflows from revenue growth, cost control and continued focus on the capital-light operating model
$173m of the 2027 0.5% Convertible Bond will be repaid using RCF liquidity on 9th December as expected. Following this, with the exception of $5m of the outstanding Convertible Bond, the company has no debt maturity until the RCF renewal in 2029. We expect net debt to reduce in Q4 2025, in-line with guidance.
Outlook and guidance
We confirm our guidance for the full 2025 financial year provided with the H1 2025 results as follows:
· Centre growth and signings to be higher than 2024
· No change to adjusted EBITDA and net debt guidance
· Reiterate commitment to maintaining a BBB credit rating
· Share buyback of at least $130m in 2025
· Cashflow to shareholders of at least $140m in 2025; and
· On track to deliver EBITDA of at least $1bn in the medium-term
The Company is hosting an Investor Day on 4 December 2025 in New York City, where we will outline our medium term-framework and update our capital allocation policy.
