Rezidor Hotel Group: INTERIM REPORT January-June 2015
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Second Quarter 2015
* Like-for-like ("L/L") RevPAR for leased and managed hotels was up by 4.9%.
The growth is due to an increase in average room rate as well as higher
occupancy.
* Revenue increased by 6.8% to MEUR 263.8 (247.1). The increase is mainly due
to the positive RevPAR development and the weakening of the Euro. On a L/L
basis Revenue increased by 4.7%.
* EBITDA amounted to MEUR 33.6 (30.8) and the EBITDA margin increased to
12.7% (12.5). The earnings were positively impacted by the good RevPAR
development and lower net costs for the hotel closed for renovation in Lyon
in France, however partly off-set by changes in bad debts provisions,
increased central costs and higher marketing costs.
* EBIT amounted to MEUR 23.0 (21.4) and the EBIT margin was 8.7% (8.7). The
increase in EBITDA has been partly off-set by higher depreciation costs,
reflecting the increase in investments, hence an unchanged EBIT margin.
* Profit after tax amounted to MEUR 15.4 (14.1).
* Basic and diluted earnings per share were EUR 0.09 (0.09).
* 2,466 (2,194) new rooms were contracted, 1,202 (795) new rooms opened and
285 (415) rooms left the system.
Half Year 2015
* L/L RevPAR was up by 3.5%.
* Revenue increased by 4.7% to MEUR 480.2 (458.5). On a L/L basis Revenue
increased by 2.7%.
* EBITDA amounted to MEUR 32.8 (30.1) and the EBITDA margin increased to 6.8%
(6.6).
* EBIT amounted to MEUR 10.6 (12.9) and the EBIT margin decreased to 2.2%
(2.8).
* Profit after tax amounted to MEUR 2.0 (3.8).
* Basic and diluted earnings per share were EUR 0.01 (0.03).
* Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MEUR 22.6 (0.8).
* 4,771 (3,200) new rooms were contracted, 1,429 (2,009) new rooms opened and
1,152 (833) rooms left the system.

Comments from the CEO
Solid RevPAR development and a good quarter for signings
"RevPAR recovery continued during the second quarter of 2015 and culminated in a
strong month of June, driven by Eastern European countries outside Russia and by
mature Western European markets. However, weak RevPAR development in some of the
countries in the Middle East and the difficult business climate in Norway still
impacted the results.
We made strong progress in pursuit of our growth strategy: achievements included
the 25 years contract extension for one of the Group's most profitable leases in
Norway, and the signing of a total of 15 new projects with almost 2,500 rooms
under management and franchise agreements. Most of these hotels are situated in
emerging markets and focus countries and scheduled to open within the next 12
months.
Q2 signings featured the first Radisson Red in EMEA: the Radisson Red V&A
Waterfront Cape Town - located at one of Africa's premier sites and opening in
late 2016 - marked the roll-out start of our new lifestyle select brand. We see
strong interest in the market, and will drive the development of Radisson Red
through flexible business models together with experienced partners.
We also continued to make progress on our profit improvement initiatives as
evidenced by the strong performance in operating cash flow. At the same time, we
further drove our investment programme supported by the 2014 rights issue, and
have launched an accelerated Capex deployment that will result in almost 8,000
refurbished rooms in the Nordics and Rest of Western Europe by the end of 2017."
Wolfgang M. Neumann, President & CEO
