Feb 19 (Reuters) - French hotel group Accor reported annual core profit just above market ‌expectations on Thursday, supported by the diversification ‌of its hotel portfolio and the expansion of its loyalty ​program.

The group said its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) were 1.20 billion euros ($1.41 billion) last year, compared with 1.12 billion euros in ‌2024 and a ⁠company-compiled analyst consensus of 1.19 billion euros.

“The rapid integration of artificial intelligence into ⁠our digital roadmap and the robustness of our pipeline allow us to accelerate our development and ​be even ​more efficient,” Accor CEO ​Sébastien Bazin said in ‌a statement.

The operator of brands including Ibis and Novotel launched in February an AI-powered, ChatGPT‑based direct booking tool, pitched as a way to reduce the group’s dependence on online travel agencies ‌and cut distribution costs.

Revenue per ​available room (RevPAR), one of the ​industry’s main performance ​indicators, rose 4.2% to 76 euros ‌in 2025.

Accor also confirmed its ​mid-term guidance ​and said it would continue its share buyback programme, with a total of 450 million ​euros worth ‌of repurchases planned for 2026.
