-- The steep fall in the value of sterling after the 23 June 2016 referendum had a significant impact on Group's results, with exchange gains adding GBP43m and GBP7m to Group reported revenue and profit before tax respectively for the first nine months of 2016.

-- Group RevPAR in reported currency was up 3.5% but in constant currency fell by 3.2% in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period last year.

-- Total revenue in reported currency for the first nine months grew by 8.1% to GBP665m, due to higher land sales and REIT revenue and exchange gains; partially offset by lower hotel revenue. In constant currency, revenue grew slightly by 1.1% for the same period.

-- Hotel revenue in constant currency declined by 2.8% to GBP581m during the first nine months of 2016. In reported currency, hotel revenue increased by 3.9% to GBP581m (2015: GBP559m).

-- Third-quarter occupancy increased by 4.8% points for the Group's London hotels, reflecting higher inbound tourism.

-- Profit before tax in constant currency for the third quarter of 2016 increased by 9.5% and by 27.8% in reported currency. For the first nine months of 2016, profit before tax increased by 4.1% in reported currency and decreased by 2.9% in constant currency.

Mr Kwek Leng Beng, Chairman commented:

"Our London hotels have seen some positive benefits from leisure travellers following the EU referendum in June 2016 although the outlook for the UK economy is uncertain. We have also seen an improving trend in the regional US and growth in the New Zealand markets; and benefitted from favourable foreign exchange movements. However, trading of our New York and Singapore hotels was disappointing and we continued to focus on improving margins. We are monitoring the performance in all our markets closely and the Group's financial position remains strong. The Group has a long term perspective and considers asset ownership as key to its strategy."

For the nine months ended 30 September 2016, Group revenue increased by 8.1% to GBP665m (2015: GBP615m). This was a result of higher property revenue, increased contribution from the REIT and a positive foreign exchange impact of GBP43m. Excluding exchange gains, Group revenue rose by 1.1% (2015: GBP658m).

Hotel revenue in constant currency fell by 2.8% to GBP581m (2015: GBP598m) during the first nine months of 2016, compared to the same period last year. This was due mainly to continued weak trading in New York and Singapore. London recorded a stronger revenue performance in Q3 2016, supported by RevPAR growth of 2.4%.

Property revenue in constant currency for the period increased by 68.0% to GBP42m (2015: GBP25m), mainly because of increased land sales in New Zealand primarily during the first half of this year and an increased contribution from Millennium Mitsui Garden Hotel Tokyo. Revenue from the REIT in constant currency increased by 20.0% to GBP42m (2015: GBP35m) mainly because of the contribution from its first UK hotel, Hilton Cambridge City Centre which was acquired in October 2015.

Hotel Operations

In constant currency, Group RevPAR for the first nine months of 2016 fell by 3.2% to GBP73.94 (2015: GBP76.37) due to decreases in both occupancy and average room rate of 0.5% points and 2.4% respectively. In the third quarter of 2016 Group RevPAR decreased by 1.7% in constant currency, with occupancy up by 1.1% points and average room rate down by 3.1%.

# In constant currency whereby 30 September 2015 RevPAR and average room rates have been translated at average exchange rates for the period ended 30 September 2016.

US

US RevPAR for the first nine months of 2016 was down by 6.6% GBP82.35 (2015: GBP88.15) with decreases in both occupancy and average room rate. In the third quarter of 2016, US RevPAR decreased by 4.2%.

In New York, RevPAR fell by 14.8% as a result of a 7.5% points fall in occupancy and 6.3% fall in average room rate. Excluding ONE UN New York whose east tower was closed for refurbishment from November last year to early September 2016, RevPAR for US and New York fell by 2.0% and 7.8% respectively.

RevPAR for Regional US increased by 4.4% to GBP58.80 (2015: GBP56.32) for the first nine months of 2016. For the third quarter of 2016, RevPAR increased by 7.8% to GBP73.10 (2015: GBP67.79) largely due to positive returns from newly refurbished hotels.

Europe

Europe RevPAR for the first nine months of 2016 dropped by 2.6% to GBP79.32 (2015: GBP81.45). In the third quarter Europe RevPAR was marginally lower compared to the same period, reflecting improvement in the London in-bound market, following the sharp fall in sterling against other currencies after the EU referendum on 23 June.

London RevPAR fell by 2.2% for the first nine months of 2016, compared to the same period last year, with a 0.5% point rise in occupancy and 2.9% fall in average room rate. In the third quarter of 2016, London RevPAR grew by 2.4% mainly due to an increase in occupancy of 4.8% points.

RevPAR for the Rest of Europe decreased by 1.4% during the first nine months of 2016 mainly due to lower occupancy.

Asia

Asia RevPAR for the first nine months of 2016 fell by 2.8% to GBP66.29 (2015: GBP68.22) driven mainly by lower average room rate. Singapore RevPAR fell by 9.6% with decreases in both occupancy and average room rate.

Rest of Asia RevPAR grew by 3.9% in the nine months of 2016, driven by an increase in both occupancy and average room rate. For the third quarter of 2016, RevPAR increased by 5.4% to GBP60.07 (2015: 56.97) mainly due to improved performance in Millennium Seoul Hilton following completion of refurbishment of guest rooms.

Australasia

Australasia RevPAR grew by 16.2% in the first nine months of 2016 with average room rate increasing by 9.5% to GBP65.37 (2015: GBP59.68) and occupancy up by 4.5% points reflecting positive results from the management of sales channels and market segments. For the third quarter of 2016 RevPAR increased by 19.1% to GBP52.43 (2015: GBP44.02) with the continued growth in the number of in-bound tourists into New Zealand.

Hotel Refurbishments

The construction stage has progressed with seismic strengthening completed, all windows for the 190 guest rooms installed, façade plastering and painting completed and scaffolding taken down to ground level. The installation of major services, fitting of internal partitions, bathroom tiling is progressing well. The hotel will be rebranded under the Group's M Social brand and is expected to re-open in the middle of next year.

The Group assumed the lease of Rendezvous Grand Hotel Auckland with effect from 7 September 2016. The hotel, the largest in New Zealand with a total of 452 guestrooms, is owned by the REIT and is the Group's first Grand Millennium hotel in New Zealand.

Asset Disposals

The Group has in place a number of contractual arrangements with the developer of Birmingham's Paradise Circus redevelopment scheme pursuant to which the developer has a right to acquire the existing site of the Copthorne Hotel Birmingham in accordance with an agreed process and the Group has an option to sell the existing site to the developer and, as applicable, an option to acquire an alternative site in the redevelopment area for the construction of a new hotel. The Group continues to review its options and discussions with the developer are on-going.

With regard to the Millennium Hotel Glasgow, it was previously reported that in September 2015 the Group received notice of an application from Network Rail Infrastructure Limited ("Network Rail") for an order to temporarily close and possess the Millennium Hotel Glasgow, and permanently take a portion of the hotel, in connection with the redevelopment of the Queen Street Station in Glasgow. The Group objected to various components of the application and a public inquiry was held in May and June 2016. A final decision on the proposed order is awaited from the Scottish Ministers. Pending that, the Group continues to pursue commercial discussions with Network Rail and will assess options once the decision has been issued.
