Looking ahead, as we move past last year's hurricane impact, demand continues to benefit from tax refunds and is expected to be further supported by event-driven travel this summer, such as the FIFA World Cup and the US 250th anniversary.

In business travel, we've expanded our global sales capabilities and deepened relationships with corporate accounts.

Turning to Asia Pac, during the second quarter, our team signed a master franchising agreement with a leader in the upscale business hotel and resort segment in China. This relationship is expected to significantly accelerate the growth of our mid-scale portfolio in China with approximately 10,000 rooms over the next five years and increase choice brand awareness among Chinese travelers internationally.

In addition, our recent investments in an enhanced group sales team and an expanded upscale hotel portfolio continue to pay off. This is demonstrated by the 48% year-over-year increase in revenue from the group travel business in the second quarter, driven in part by small corporate groups and sports travel bookings.

In 2024, we redesigned and augmented our group sales team, resulting in an impressive year-over-year revenue increase of over 45% from group accounts in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by meetings and event-related travel.

As you mentioned, the infrastructure bill is certainly starting to roll out. Our opinion will be kind of a more phased rollout throughout the country as different states are more advanced in how quickly they can allocate that into projects. What we've seen is overall construction spending is up about 4% year-over-year across the country. But really, there's really some top 10 states that have received most of the infrastructure dollars today. And about 38% of our hotels are actually located in those top 10 states. We are starting to see that come through in particular into our extended state product. We've also seen, you know, some good increased business in the oil markets where we've got a decent share there. So we are starting to see that infrastructure. It won't be because it's rolling out so much regionally. It'll be more of a regional play as we see that come through. But certainly we're well positioned to capture that increased demand that that spending will drive.

For our marketing reservation, we obviously operate these over a very long-term period, and our contractual obligation to our franchisees is to ensure that we break even over the long term. But if you go back and take a look in our history, we've had more of an investment and then repayment cycles versus operating these every year around a break even. So if you were to go back the last couple of years, we ran some pretty hefty surpluses, especially through the pandemic when some of the marketing with the more elevated leisure travel wasn't needed. And so we've come into this year with a pretty hefty cumulative surplus. So this year we're expected to be in a deficit of just under $40 million, but we're still in a net surplus for that fund. We should end the year somewhere between $25 million and $30 million surplus. So over time, as we look for areas of investment, which makes sense to continue to drive our value proposition capabilities, we may overspend that going forward.

In addition to the continued positive trends in leisure travel, We are seeing renewed strength in our corporate transient business travel, particularly in the transportation and government verticals.

I think the other thing that we're seeing broad based is I mentioned, you know, people are traveling for sporting events. You know, the realignment of college football is driving a significant amount of fan bases traveling to the markets they normally had not to travel before. So Texas and Georgia and Austin. That occurred at the same time around the F1 race. And so, you know, a market like Austin really picks up business. You know, when Oregon goes to Michigan and Ann Arbor to play, those fan bases travel and, you know, they're not the local fan bases. So we are expecting that that's going to continue to be driver, you know, that sort of local market level of the sporting events and music as well. You know, when Taylor Swift goes to Miami and, you do see a pickup in business. So that is a trend that we do think is going to continue, more of the sporting and music event-driven travel.

And then in your comments, you talked about um not doing some discretionary cost spends um this year and that sort of helped protect the EBITDA discretion tends to mean just not doing the costs yet um so could you just talk about what they are and whether we should then think about them being part of the cost base for next year sort of being pushed back thank you very much On the Japan deal, those are part of our master franchise agreement. So when we have those deals, the way the master franchise partnership works is we do sub-license our brands to local partners and then grow them. So the royalty rates will be slightly lower than where you would see both in the U.S. and the direct franchising market, but there are no costs to support it. So the EBITDA flow through is quite higher. So think in kind of the 1% to 2% range on the royalty rates for those hotels. But as I mentioned, no cost, so straight to an EBITDA flow through on those.

With construction costs starting to normalize, our footers poured for new hotels are higher than expected. If interest rate cuts occur in the near future as anticipated, We expect a return to a more robust new construction and transaction environment, which will translate to acceleration in our development pipeline.

On the SG&A piece, really, it wasn't, as I mentioned earlier, a material trim on the SG&A, really just matching up some of the initiatives that we had to the environment we're in. As Pat mentioned, we do see some green shoots on new construction and think that's coming up. That's probably a little bit longer to come back than we thought earlier in the year. So we've just paired some of our our spending related to when hotels are going to open, our opportunities are to sell more deals.
