MANDARIN ORIENTAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30TH JUNE 2011

 

OVERVIEW

The more favourable conditions seen in 2010 continued in the first half of 2011, leading to increased demand in most of the Group's markets. The higher occupancy levels led to further improvements in average room rates, particularly in Hong Kong. In Tokyo, however, demand fell significantly after the earthquake and tsunami on 11th March.

 

PERFORMANCE

Following the completion of the One Hyde Park complex adjacent to Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London, the Group received branding fees of US$16 million relating to the 86 Residences at Mandarin Oriental. In addition, the developer has granted the Group a long-term leasehold in part of the complex at no cost resulting in a non-trading gain of approximately US$10 million being recognized.

 

Underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization for the first six months of 2011 were US$84 million, compared to US$58 million in the first half of 2010. The 2011 result includes the US$16 million branding fees received in London, partially offset by US$11 million of pre-opening expenses relating to the new hotel in Paris. The Group's underlying profit for the period was US$33 million, up from US$13 million in the same period in 2010. Underlying earnings per share were US¢3.33, compared with US¢1.36 in 2010.

 

Profit attributable to shareholders was US$43 million, which includes the US$10 million non-trading gain in London. This compares with US$13 million in the first half of 2010. Earnings per share were US¢4.33 including the non-trading item, compared to US¢1.36.

 

An unchanged interim dividend of US¢2.00 per share has been declared.

 

GROUP REVIEW

Subsidiaries

The performance of the Group's wholly-owned Hong Kong hotels improved with increases in both occupancy and rates. Revenue per available room ('RevPAR') at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong and The Excelsior rose by 22% and 20%, respectively. In the Tokyo hotel, losses were recorded as occupancy was 42% in the period, compared with 63% in 2010, despite the average rate remaining stable. The Manila hotel saw its average rate strengthen, while the hotel in Jakarta continued to build occupancy following its 2009 renovation.

 

In Europe, business levels benefited from strong demand in the Group's traditional markets. In London, the average rate was 23% higher in local currency terms, while F&B revenues improved significantly following the recent opening of two highly acclaimed new restaurants. The Munich hotel achieved a 31% increase in RevPAR in local currency terms due to solid growth in both occupancy and average rate. Despite being impacted by a phased rooms renovation, the Geneva hotel achieved an increase in RevPAR of 3% in local currency terms. In The Americas, the first-half performance at the 80%-owned Washington D.C. hotel improved with RevPAR up 13%.

 

Associates and Joint Ventures

The share of results of associates and joint ventures rose, principally due to strong growth in the average rate in Singapore, but also as a result of improved performances in New York and Miami. In Bangkok, occupancy levels recovered from the prior year, which had been adversely affected by the political protests.

 

DEVELOPMENTS

Mandarin Oriental currently operates 27 hotels and has a further 14 under development. Together these represent almost 11,000 rooms in 26 countries, with 18 hotels in Asia, 12 in The Americas and 11 in Europe and the Middle East. In addition, the Group operates, or has under development, 12 Residences at Mandarin Oriental connected to the Group's properties.

 

The new Mandarin Oriental, Paris, located on the prestigious rue Saint-Honoré, opened at the end of June. Operating under a long-term lease, the 138-room hotel is receiving positive guest and press feedback, and is designed to compete amongst the city's most prestigious hotels.

 

A number of the 14 hotels under development are at an advanced stage of construction, and the Group continues to review further development opportunities in key destinations around the world. One previously announced project, in Marrakech, will no longer proceed.

 

PEOPLE

R C Kwok retired from the Board in May 2011. We would like to thank him for his significant contribution to the Group.

 

OUTLOOK

The global economic and political outlook remains uncertain, and demand in Tokyo is expected to recover only gradually. Nevertheless, the Group's full-year performance should continue to benefit from the trading momentum at the Group's owned hotels in Hong Kong.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

1.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The condensed financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Group's auditor pursuant to the UK Auditing Practices Board guidance on the review of interim financial information.

There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2010 annual financial statements except for the adoption of the following amendments and interpretations, which are effective in 2011. The adoption of these amendments and interpretations does not have a material impact on the Group's accounting policies.

Revised IAS 24

Related Party Disclosures

Amendments to IFRIC 14

Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement

IFRIC 19

Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity

Instruments

Improvements to IFRSs (2010)

Revised IAS 24 'Related Party Disclosures' supersedes IAS 24 (as revised in 2003). It simplifies the disclosure requirements for government-related entities and clarifies the definition of a related party.

Amendments to IFRIC 14 'Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement' require an entity to recognize an asset for a prepayment that will reduce future minimum funding contributions required by the entity.

IFRIC 19 'Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments' provides guidance on the application of IAS 39 and IAS 32 when an entity issues its own equity instruments to extinguish all or part of a financial liability.

The Improvements to IFRSs (2010) comprise a number of non-urgent but necessary amendments to IFRSs. The amendments which are relevant to the Group's operations include IFRS 3 (amendments) 'Business Combinations', IFRS 7 (amendments) 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures', IAS 1 (amendments) 'Presentation of Financial Statements' and IAS 34 (amendments) 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

IFRS 3 (amendments) 'Business Combinations' clarify the transition requirements for contingent consideration from business combinations that occurred before the effective date of the revised IFRS, the measurement of non-controlling interests and un-replaced and voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards.

IFRS 7 (amendments) 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' emphasize the interaction between qualitative and quantitative disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments.

IAS 1 (amendments) 'Presentation of Financial Statements' clarify that entities may present the required reconciliations for each component of other comprehensive income either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements.

 

 

IAS 34 (amendments) 'Interim Financial Reporting' provide guidance to illustrate how to apply disclosure principles in IAS 34 and add disclosure requirements around the circumstances likely to affect fair values of financial instruments and their classification, transfers of financial instruments between different levels of fair value hierarchy, changes in classification of financial assets and changes in contingent liabilities and assets.
