Ryman Hospitality Properties (NYSE: RHP) reported Q3 EPS of $0.44, in-line with the analyst estimate of $0.44. Revenue for the quarter came in at $292.25 million versus the consensus estimate of $277.52 million.

Colin Reed, chairman and chief executive officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties, said, “Overall, we are pleased with our third quarter 2018 results, which were slightly better than our expectations going into the quarter. Despite a couple of group cancellations and the impact of Hurricane Florence in this quarter, our hotels delivered the best third quarter on record in terms of Consolidated Revenue due to strong outside-the-room spending, which helped drive over 6.9 percent and 12.1 percent Consolidated Operating Income and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA growth, respectively, for the third quarter of 2018.

We anticipated a modest decline in our year-over-year future group bookings this quarter given the challenging year-over-year comparison and the strong bookings results we reported in the first half of 2018. Overall, the outlook for our group business continues to look strong, and we are excited to see that momentum continue with the anticipated opening of our joint-venture investment in Gaylord Rockies later this year. We are pleased to have the opportunity to increase our ownership stake in this property from 35.0 percent to approximately 62.3 percent, which we anticipate will close by the end of 2018.”
