AI Insight: RLJ Financial Trends
RLJ's Q1 2026 revenue of $340M outpaces year-ago Q1 2025 ($328M), but net income has flatlined near zero and equity has eroded $90M over four quarters.
• Revenue rose year-over-year in Q1 2026 ($340M vs. $328M in Q1 2025), the only meaningful comparable improvement visible in the data.
• Net income deteriorated from $37M in Q2 2024 to near zero or negative in the four most recent quarters, signaling persistent bottom-line pressure.
• Equity has declined steadily from $2,334M in Q2 2024 to $2,144M in Q1 2026, a $190M contraction over six quarters.
• Operating cash flow dropped sharply to $26M in Q1 2026 versus $101M in Q2 2025, though Q1 seasonality partly explains the step-down.
⚠ Total debt remains sticky near $2,190–$2,222M across all eight quarters — any revenue softness could pressure interest coverage further.
⚠ Q3 2025 posted a net loss of $4M — first quarterly loss in the dataset; Q1 2026 is again near zero, flagging a potential trend.
⚠ Debt edged down to $2,190M in Q1 2026, the lowest reading shown; monitor whether deleveraging accelerates or stalls.
AI Insight: RLJ Ratio Trends
RLJ's profitability has collapsed to near-zero, with Q3 2025 turning negative across all return metrics and Q1 2026 showing no recovery.
• Operating margin fell from 10.2% in Q2 2024 to effectively 0.0% in Q1 2026, erasing peak-season gains entirely.
• ROIC turned negative at -0.3% in Q3 2025 and reached 0.0% in Q1 2026, the first sustained zero-return stretch in the dataset.
• D/E ratio crept from 0.95 in Q2 2024 to 1.02 in Q1 2026, indicating modestly rising leverage as earnings deteriorated.
• Peak-quarter operating margin in Q2 2025 (8.0%) lagged Q2 2024 (10.2%), signaling year-over-year seasonal deterioration.
⚠ Q3 2025 marked the first negative operating margin (-0.9%) in the series; whether Q3 2026 repeats this is a key inflection.
⚠ D/E crossing above 1.0x in Q2 2025 and holding at 1.02x warrants monitoring if earnings remain near zero.
⚠ TTM operating margin of 1.9% reflects minimal full-year profitability; any demand softness could push it negative.
