Q1 Trading Update
聽
Revenue growth and full opening of art'otel Rome Piazza Sallustio
聽
PPHE Hotel Group, the international hospitality real estate group which develops, owns and operates hotels and resorts, is pleased to announce a trading update for the three months ended 31 March 2025.
聽
Q1 Financial Highlights
聽
路 | As highlighted in our FY 2024 results announced in February, Q1 is traditionally the quietest quarter. Total revenue of 拢77.6 million, an increase of 0.7% year-on-year (Q1 2024: 拢77.0 million). Like-for-like1 revenue decreased by 5.6% largely due to the comparable leap year impact and Easter falling within Q2 which resulted in a later opening of the Croatian leisure portfolio and impacted the UK and Dutch markets in particular. 聽 |
路 | Like-for-like1 occupancy levels were stable at 70.5% (Q1 2024: 70.4%). 聽 |
路 | The like-for-like1 average room rate decreased by 3.6% to 拢134.3 (Q1 2024: 拢139.3), due to room rates continuing to normalise in most regions. Consequently, like-for-like1 RevPAR declined 3.5% to 拢94.6 (Q1 2024: 拢98.1). |
聽
Q1 Strategic Highlights
聽
路 | art'otel Rome Piazza Sallustio opened on 6 March 2025 and is seeing increasing levels of guest demand as well as excellent guest feedback, in line with expectations. Yezi, the hotel's restaurant, is now fully operational after opening on 16 April 2025. 聽 |
路 | art'otel London Hoxton continued to show good improvements, in line with expectations, supported by increasing corporate and meetings & events booking demand as the hotel continued to build its presence in the London market. The office space as well as the聽restaurant and bar on the 25th聽floor are expected to open in the second half. |
聽
Current Trading & Outlook
聽
路 | Forward booking activity levels are positive with overall pace and demand consistent with 2024 levels, albeit there continues to be normalisation in industry room rates. The Group remains focused on cost control, with several ongoing projects to drive further efficiencies. 聽 |
路 | The macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop is increasingly uncertain, yet the Board remains confident in delivering full-year performance within the range of market expectations2 for 2025. |

1 The like-for-like* figures exclude results from the newly opened art'otel Rome Piazza Sallustio and art'otel London Hoxton.
聽
2 At 7 March 2025, the Company compiled analyst consensus forecast range for the financial year ending 31 December 2025 showed a revenue range of 拢463.6 million to 拢477.4 million and an EBITDA* range of 拢148 million to 拢158.6 million.

Greg Hegarty, Co-Chief Executive Officer, PPHE Hotel Group
聽
"We are pleased with the Group's progress during the first three months in what has been a fast evolving and challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. We have maintained solid occupancy levels whilst proactively managing room rate.
聽
Our newly opened hotels are performing well and in line with expectations, with demand growing month-on-month and excellent guest feedback. These openings solidify the successful evolution of聽PPHE into a pan-European, multi-brand hospitality real estate group, with broad customer appeal and the opportunity for attractive long-term growth.
聽
The extent to which recent tariff-driven volatility will impact consumer purchasing and travel demand remains to be seen. Whilst the backdrop remains uncertain, we are moving into the busier Spring and Summer periods, which supports our confidence in the year ahead. The Group expects to deliver another year of record revenue and profitability, continuing its growth in EBITDA and margins."
