Premier Inn owner Whitbread PLC (LSE:WTB) said it is on track to achieve its full-year outlook, with its German business breaking even in the second half as inflation across its operations begins to abate. It comes after the hotel group saw its sales jump by 1% in the first quarter, reaching £739, driven by improved trading in the UK and continued room growth in Germany. In the UK, the group saw accommodation sales rise by 55% compared to pre-pandemic figures.
