MANDARIN ORIENTAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

HALF-YEAR RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30TH JUNE 2022

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

 ·         Improved EBITDA profitability in the first half of 2022, with underlying
           losses reducing significantly
 ·         Business performance continued to improve in the second quarter in most
           markets with strong room rates and increasing occupancy
 ·         Four new management contracts announced in the first half

 

 

"Business activity in most parts of the world has improved as COVID-19
restrictions have been relaxed, leading to improved operating profitability
and a reduction in underlying losses. Challenges remain, however, in China,
particularly Hong Kong, and Japan, where restrictions continue to hamper our
operations.  The Group continues to add management contracts for
brand-enhancing properties to grow the portfolio further."

                                      more fully described in note 7 to the condensed financial statements.
                                      Management considers this to be a key measure which provides additional
                                      information to enhance understanding of the Group's underlying business

MANDARIN ORIENTAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

HALF-YEAR RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30TH JUNE 2022

 

OVERVIEW

In 2022, the business returned to EBITDA profitability in the first half, with
underlying losses reducing significantly.  The business benefitted from
increased leisure travel in most parts of the world, and the management
business in particular continued its strong progress with increased
revenues.  The Group continues to add management contracts for
brand-enhancing properties to grow the portfolio further.

 

HOTEL PERFORMANCE

In Europe, the Middle East and Africa ('EMEA') and America, where pandemic
restrictions have largely relaxed, the Group benefitted from strong leisure
demand, with rates at or above pre-pandemic levels and improving occupancy
levels.  In Asia, demand in China remained impacted by government
restrictions to contain outbreaks of COVID-19.  In other Asian markets
however, pandemic restrictions have slowly eased, allowing a gradual recovery
in occupancy levels.

 

The combined total revenue of hotels under management increased by 78% in the
first half of 2022, compared to the equivalent period in 2021.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ('EBITDA') for
the first half of 2022 were US$28 million, a significant improvement compared
to EBITDA losses of US$17 million in the first half of 2021.  Results
benefitted from increased business levels in EMEA and America, where travel
restrictions have been lifted.  In addition, the management business showed
improved profitability in the period, due to increased management fees in line
with higher total revenues, as well as cost control.

 

Underlying losses for the period were US$21 million, a 69% improvement
compared toUS$67 million for the first half of 2021.  The valuation of the
Causeway Bay site under development remained broadly in line with the
valuation at 31st December 2021, resulting in a non-trading gain of US$3
million.  Total losses attributable to shareholders were US$18 million in the
first half, compared to US$156 million in the same period in 2021.

 

At 30th June 2022, net debt was US$519 million, broadly in line with US$517
million at the end of 2021.  The Group remains well funded, with headroom of
US$488 million in its available cash and committed facilities.  The Group's
gearing as a percentage of adjusted shareholders' funds was 11%, taking into
account the market value of the Group's properties.

 

No interim dividend will be paid in respect of 2022 first-half results.

 

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

Four new management contracts were announced in the first half of the year:
Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino - the Group's first property in Greece;
Mandarin Oriental Shepheard, Cairo - a comprehensive renovation of the
historic Shepheard Hotel in Egypt; Mandarin Oriental, Cristallo, Cortina - the
Group's first alpine resort; and a new resort on a private island in the
Maldives.

 

Our pipeline remains robust, with 25 projects to open in the next five years,
comprising 11 standalone hotel projects, 11 projects with hotel and residences
components and three standalone residences projects.

 

In the second half of 2022, we expect to open a new hotel in Lucerne and two
standalone residences projects in Barcelona and Beverly Hills.

 

On 19th July 2022, the Group announced the sale of Mandarin Oriental,
Washington D.C. for US$139 million, and the hotel will cease to be operated by
Mandarin Oriental on 8th September 2022.  The Group's portfolio has developed
significantly over recent years, with many new, unique properties across the
world that are more in line with our long-term vision for the brand than this
property.  With strong interest from investors, the time was right to sell
this property.

 

OUTLOOK

Luxury hospitality trading conditions continue to improve in most markets and,
despite continuing constraints on travel in China and Japan, the Group expects
to see improved results in the second half and will continue to benefit from
its robust pipeline and opening of new properties and residences.  The Board
remains confident that the strength of the Mandarin Oriental brand will
underpin the long-term success of the Group in the future.

 Mandarin Oriental International Limited

 Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

 

1.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a)  Going Concern

The Group's operations and financial performance have been severely impacted
by the unprecedented decline in both international and domestic travel since
the COVID-19 pandemic began.  Prior to the pandemic the Group had significant
headroom in its committed debt facilities and cash balances available to
finance operating losses. This has increased with new debt facilities in
February 2021.

 

Operating conditions continued to improve in most markets in the first half of
2022 as COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed, leading to improved operating
profitability and a reduction in underlying losses.  Challenges remain,
however, in China, particularly Hong Kong, and Japan, where restrictions
continue to hamper our operations.  A return of profitability to pre-pandemic
levels by the Group will be dependent on the extent of travel restrictions
that are maintained by governments.

 

In the first half of 2022, the Group recorded a total cash inflow from
operating activities of US$10 million, a significant improvement from a total
cash outflow from operating activities of US$23 million in the first half of
2021.

 

The Group's balance sheet is underpinned by equity interests in a number of
prime hotel properties which are carried on the Group's balance sheet at
historical cost less depreciation.  Taking into account the market value of
the Group's property interests, the adjusted shareholders' funds were US$4.9
billion at 30th June 2022.

 

At 30th June 2022, the Group had total liquidity of US$488 million, comprising
US$309 million of undrawn committed facilities and US$179 million of cash
balances.  The Group's facilities are not subject to any cash flow covenants
and had an average remaining tenor of 1.6 years.  Overall, the Group's
balance sheet position remains strong.

 

In adopting the going concern basis for preparing the condensed financial
statements, the Directors have considered a downside cash flow forecast which
assumes the flagship hotel of the Group in Hong Kong continues to operate at
substantially reduced levels of business as a consequence of travel
restrictions maintained by the government for a period of 12 months from the
date of approval of the condensed financial statements.

 

Having considered the outcome of the downside cash flow forecast, the
Directors are of the opinion that the Group has sufficient financial resources
to continue operating for a period of at least 12 months from the date of
approval of the condensed financial statements.  Accordingly, the condensed
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

(b)  Basis of preparation

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

 

There are no changes to the accounting policies as described in the 2021
annual financial statements and the Group has not early adopted any standard
or amendments that have been issued but not yet effective.

6.    LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is calculated on loss attributable to shareholders of
US$18.3 million (2021: US$155.9 million) and the weighted average number of
1,263.7 million (2021: 1,263.2 million) shares in issue during the period.

Diluted loss per share is calculated on loss attributable to shareholders of
US$18.3 million (2021: US$155.9 million) and the weighted average number of
1,263.8 million (2021: 1,263.6 million) shares in issue after adjusting for
the number of shares which are deemed to be issued for no consideration under
the share-based long-term incentive plans based on the average share price
during the period.

The weighted average number of shares is arrived at as follows:

   Ordinary shares in millions
                                                                                         2022             2021

fair value through profit and loss; gains and losses arising from the sale of
businesses, investments and properties; impairment of non-depreciable
intangible assets and other investments; provisions for the closure of
businesses; acquisition-related costs in business combinations; and other
credits and charges of a non-recurring nature that require inclusion in order

Fair value estimation

 

(i)  Financial instruments that are measured at fair value

 

For financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the balance
sheet, the corresponding fair value measurements are disclosed by level of the
following fair value measurement hierarchy:

 

(a)   Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly ('observable current
market transactions')

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined using rates
quoted by the Group's bankers at the balance sheet date.  The rates for
interest rate swaps and caps and forward foreign exchange contracts are
calculated by reference to market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

 

The fair values of unlisted investments mainly include club and school
debentures, are determined using prices quoted by brokers at the balance sheet
date.

 

(b)   Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable
market data ('unobservable inputs')

The fair values of other unlisted investments are determined using valuation
techniques by reference to observable current market transactions (including
price-to earnings and price-to book ratios of listed securities of entities
engaged in similar industries) or the market prices of the underlying
investments with certain degree of entity specific estimates or discounted
cash flow by projecting the cash flows from these investments.

 

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six months ended 30th
June 2022 and the year ended 31st December 2021.

 

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th
June 2022 and 31st December 2021, by the levels in the fair value measurement
hierarchy:

(ii) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

 

The fair values of current debtors, bank and cash balances, current creditors,
current borrowings and current lease liabilities are assumed to approximate
their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these assets and
liabilities.

 

The fair values of long-term borrowings are based on market prices or are
estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market interest
rates. The fair values of non-current lease liabilities are estimated using
the expected future payments discounted at market interest rates.
