# Hilton Worldwide: Business Model & Revenue Engine

## Direct Answer

Hilton Worldwide reports revenue across 6 product and service lines in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Reimbursement Revenue is the largest, with $7.1 billion of revenue (59% of the total), followed by Franchiseandlicensingfees at $2.8 billion (23%).

## How Does Hilton Worldwide Make Money?

No single line supplies a majority of revenue: the largest, Reimbursement Revenue, is 59%, which spreads Hilton Worldwide's exposure across several demand drivers. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, Reimbursement Revenue grew fastest (+10.2%) and Ownership slowest (-1.8%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Reimbursement Revenue while that gap lasts.

| Product or service | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Reimbursement Revenue | $7.1 billion | $6.4 billion | 58.9% | 10.2% |
| Franchiseandlicensingfees | $2.8 billion | $2.6 billion | 23.1% | 6.9% |
| Ownership | $1.2 billion | $1.3 billion | 10.2% | -1.8% |
| Management Service Base | $376 million | $369 million | 3.1% | 1.9% |
| Management Service Incentive | $313 million | $290 million | 2.6% | 7.9% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Hilton Worldwide's reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Hilton Worldwide reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 11, 2026 (accession 0001585689-26-000007), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
