PPHE Hotel Group has announced a significant 11% increase in its annual revenue, reaching a record €125.4 million. This growth was largely driven by heightened demand at its city centre and leisure hotels, reflecting the strong summer performance.
The company’s growth was most pronounced in Central and Eastern Europe, with Germany seeing a 14% increase and the broader CEE region experiencing a 22% rise in revenue. This surge was attributed to increased occupancy rates during the summer period.
Several of PPHE’s projects have been delayed, with some expected to open in 2025 rather than 2024. Despite these setbacks, PPHE reported a 13% rise in EBITDA, totalling €39.4 million, a reflection of strong revenue performance and disciplined cost control.
