Investment properties with a carrying value of E3.2 million were pledged as security for loans and borrowings at 31
December 2016. Gains or losses arising from fair value adjustments are included within administrative expenses. 
 
Investment property comprises: 
 
·      Two commercial properties which were acquired on 29 August 2014 as part of the Maldron Hotel Pearse Street
acquisition. The investment properties are leased to third parties for lease terms of 25 and 30 years, with 14 and 10 years
remaining. 
 
·      Commercial properties which were acquired on 13 February 2015 as part of the Pillo Hotel Galway acquisition. The
investment properties are leased to third parties for lease terms of 20 years, with 15 years remaining and a break clause
in two years. 
 
·      A commercial property acquired as part of the acquisition of the freehold of Clayton Hotel Cardiff on 25 October
2016. The restaurant of this hotel is leased to a third party for a lease term of 20 years, with 16 years remaining. 
 
The freehold interest in the Clarion Hotel Cork was acquired on 2 November 2015 for a total cash consideration of E35.1m
plus direct transaction costs of E0.8m. As at 31 December 2015, this investment property was leased to a third party for a
lease term of 35 years, with 24 years remaining.  On 11 March 2016, the Group acquired the leasehold interest of the
Clarion Cork hotel as part of a wider Choice Hotel Group acquisition (see note 3) and became the operator of that hotel.
Consequently, this property was transferred to property, plant and equipment in the condensed consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. 
 
Changes in fair values are recognised in administrative expenses in profit or loss. 
 
The value of the Group's investment properties at 31 December 2016 reflect an open market valuation carried out in December
2016 by independent external valuers having appropriately recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in
the location and category of property being valued. The valuations performed were in accordance with the Valuation
Standards of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. 
 
The fair value measurement of the Group's investment property has been categorised as Level 3 fair value based on the
inputs to the valuation technique used. 
 
The valuation technique adopted is the investment method of valuation. This method is based on a review of the current
passing rent, open market rent and comparable investment sales. The valuations use a yield specific to each property and
ranged from 6.8% to 11.5% (2015: 6.5%).

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

The estimated fair value under this valuation model would increase or decrease if: 
 
·      Rent was higher or lower than expected; or 
 
·     The yield used as the capitalisation rate was higher or lower.

On 17 December 2014, the Group entered into a multi-currency loan facility of E318 million (comprising of a E142 million
Euro facility and a £132 million Sterling facility) with a syndicate of financial institutions. On 3 February 2015, the
company drew down E282 million (comprising of a E106 million Euro facility and a £132 million Sterling facility) through
five year term loan facilities with a maturity of 3 February 2020. The total loan facility of E318 million included a E20
million revolving credit facility and a standby facility of E16 million which was not drawn and has since expired. 
 
On 6 May 2016, the Group entered into a new multicurrency loan facility of E80.0 million with a maturity date of 3 February
2020 and increased the revolving credit facility from E20.0 million to E30.0 million. On 9 June 2016 under this facility,
the Group drew down £18.0 million (E22.9 million) and E7.7 million. On 24 October 2016, the Group drew down a further £24.0
million (E27.0 million). 
 
The revolving credit facilities of E30.0 million were not drawn since entering the facility and remained undrawn as at 31
December 2016. E22.2 million of the other loan facilities were undrawn at 31 December 2016.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements 
 
7     Interest-bearing loans and borrowings (continued) 
 
The loans bear interest at variable rates based on 3 month Euribor/Libor plus applicable margins. The Group has entered
into certain derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate exposure on a portion of these loans. The 2016 actual
weighted average interest rate paid including the impact of interest rate swaps was 3.25%. The loans are secured on the
Group's hotel assets. Under the terms of the loan facility agreement, an interest rate floor is in place which prevents the
Group from receiving the benefit of sub-zero benchmark Libor and Euribor rates. 
 
8     Subsequent events 
 
There were no events subsequent to 31 December 2016 which would require an adjustment to or a disclosure thereon in these
condensed financial statements. 
 
9     Earnings per share 
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit for the year available to ordinary shareholders by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the
profit for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and, when dilutive, adjusted for the
effect of all potentially dilutive shares.  The following table sets out the computation for basic and diluted earnings per
share for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015: 
 
                                                                                         2016         2015         
                                                                                         E'000        E'000        
                                                                                                                   
 Profit attributable to shareholders of the parent (E'000) - basic and diluted           34,923       21,626       
 Adjusted profit attributable to shareholders of the parent (E'000) - basic and diluted  49,040       37,004       
 Earnings per share  - Basic                                                             19.09 cents  14.55 cents  
 Earnings per share - Diluted                                                            18.93 cents  14.47 cents  
 Adjusted earnings per share - Diluted                                                   26.58 cents  24.76 cents  
 Weighted average shares outstanding  - Basic                                            182,966,666  148,648,310  
 Weighted average shares outstanding  - Diluted                                          184,499,060  149,427,201  
                                                                                                                   
 
 
The difference between the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended 31 December 2016 is due
to the dilutive impact of the conditional share awards granted in 2014, 2015 and 2016. 
 
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is presented as an alternative performance measure to show the underlying performance
of the Group excluding the tax adjusted effects of revaluation movements, goodwill impairment and items considered by
management to be non-recurring or unusual in nature (see note 2). Acquisition costs have been excluded to give a more
meaningful measure given the scale of acquisitions in 2015 and 2016.
