MANDARIN ORIENTAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30TH JUNE 2018

OVERVIEW

Underlying profit was higher during the first half of the year due to generally improved performances across the Group's portfolio, notably in Hong Kong. Results were, however, impacted by the commencement of the restoration of Hotel Ritz, Madrid.

The Group is working with its insurers to assess the impact of the fire at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London in June.

Strategic options for The Excelsior, Hong Kong, including the possible redevelopment of the site into a commercial building, remain under consideration.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the first six months of 2018 were US$80 million, up from US$62 million in the first half of 2017. These results include an early termination fee in respect of the cessation of the Group's management of the Las Vegas hotel from the end of August 2018.

Underlying profit for the period was US$22 million, compared with US$15 million in the equivalent period in 2017. Underlying earnings per share were USc1.77, up from USc1.19 in 2017. The Group's US$20 million estimate of a write-off of tangible assets in relation to the London fire has been offset by insurance claims recoverable.

In light of the ongoing programme of renovations, an interim dividend of USc1.50 per share has been declared, unchanged from last year.

At 30th June 2018, the Group's net debt was US$325 million, compared to US$327 million at the end of 2017. Gearing as a percentage of adjusted shareholders' funds at 30th June 2018 was 6%, in line with that reported at the end of 2017.

HOTEL PERFORMANCE

Results were higher during the first half of the year due to improved performances across most of the portfolio, particularly from Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok and Tokyo. There were also signs of recovery in Paris after several years of weak demand. In The Americas, there were weaker performances in Boston and in Washington D.C. compared with the same period last year, with the latter having benefited from the Presidential Inauguration in 2017. Overall results were impacted by the closure of Hotel Ritz, Madrid in February 2018 for a comprehensive 19-month restoration.

Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London has closed for the necessary repairs but it is anticipated that the hotel will be able to partially reopen in the fourth quarter of this year. The impact of the fire is being assessed by insurers with the estimate of a write-off of tangible assets offset by insurance claims recoverable. Given the coverage under the Group's insurance arrangements, the impact on the Group's profitability is expected to be modest. We would like to express our appreciation for the efforts of all our colleagues in dealing with what were very difficult circumstances.

STRATEGIC REVIEW OF THE EXCELSIOR, HONG KONG

In June 2017, the Group announced that consideration was being given to potential strategic options for The Excelsior, Hong Kong. The Group is still considering all options for the site, including possible redevelopment as a commercial property.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS

In addition to the hotel in Viña del Mar, Chile and residences in Barcelona mentioned at the time of the Group's preliminary results, three other new management contracts have been signed in the first six months of the year. A new hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, the Group's first property in Vietnam, is scheduled to open in 2020. Two new properties, both with branded residences, in Muscat, Oman and Grand Cayman, will follow in 2021.

In the next 12 months, the Group expects to open its first hotels in Beijing, Doha and Dubai, as well as The Residences at Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok.

PEOPLE

Dr Richard Lee and Lord Powell of Bayswater stepped down as Directors on 9th May 2018. We would like to thank them both for their significant contributions to the Company over many years. We would also like to welcome Jack Yilun Chen, who has joined the Board.

As announced earlier this week, Stuart Dickie is to step down as Chief Financial Officer on 31st October 2018 and will be succeeded by Craig Beattie. We would like to thank Stuart for his major contribution to the Group's development.

OUTLOOK

Underlying profit was higher during the first half of the year due to generally improved performances across the portfolio, notably in Hong Kong. This positive trend is expected to continue in the second half of the year. The Group is working towards an anticipated partial reopening of Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London in the fourth quarter of this year.

 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' 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 2017 annual financial statements except for the adoption of IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' and IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' from 1st January 2018 as set out below.

The other amendments, which are effective in 2018 and relevant to the Group's operations, do not have a significant effect on the Group's accounting policies.

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that have been issued but not yet effective.

IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'

Under IFRS 9, the gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of the Group's investments in equity securities, previously classified as available-for-sale, will be recognised in profit and loss, instead of through other comprehensive income. Such fair value gains or losses on revaluation of these investments are classified as non-trading items, and do not have any impact on the Group's underlying profit attributable to shareholders and shareholders' funds. The new forward-looking expected credit loss model, which replaces the incurred loss impairment model, does not affect the Group's impairment provisions and earnings. The new hedge accounting rules, which align the accounting for hedging instruments closely with the Group's risk management practices, has no significant impact to the Group.

IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for the recognition of revenue. It replaces IAS 11 'Construction Contracts' and IAS 18 'Revenue' which covers contracts for goods and services. The core principle in the framework is that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The new standard does not change the Group's revenue recognition from hotel ownership, hotel management, rendering of services and sales of goods.

Changes to accounting policies on adoption of IFRS 9 and 15 have been applied retrospectively but the adoption does not have impact to the comparative financial statements.

Changes in principal accounting policies on adoption of IFRS 9 and 15

Investments

The Group's investments are measured at fair value through profit and loss, fair value through other comprehensive income or at amortised cost. Their classification is based on the management's business model and their contractual cash flows characteristics.

Equity investments are measured at fair value with fair value gains and losses recognised in profit and loss, unless management has elected to recognise the fair value gains and losses through other comprehensive income. For equity investments fair value through other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of the fair value gains and losses to profit and loss upon its derecognition.

All purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the investments.

Debtors

Debtors, excluding derivative financial instruments, are measured at amortised cost except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. The impairment measurement is subject to whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. The Group applied the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the trade debtors. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in arriving at operating profit. When a debtor is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amount previously written off are credited to profit and loss.

Debtors with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date are classified under non-current assets.

Non-trading items

Non-trading items are separately identified to provide greater understanding of the Group's underlying business performance. Items classified as non-trading items include fair value gains or losses on revaluation of equity investments which are 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 to provide additional insight into underlying business performance.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and service provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

i) Revenue from hotel ownership comprises amounts earned in respect of services, facilities and goods supplied by the subsidiary hotels. Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised when services are performed, provided that the amount can be measured reliably. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when or as the control of the assets is transferred to the customers, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers.

ii) Revenue from hotel management comprises gross fees earned from the management of all the hotels operated by the Group. Management fees are recognised when earned as determined by the management contract. Management fees charged to the subsidiary hotels are eliminated upon consolidation.

   iii)   Receipts under operating leases are accounted for on an accrual basis over the lease terms. 

iv) Interest income from a financial asset is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

   v)    Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

Tax charge relating to cash flow hedges of US$0.3 million (2017: tax credit of US$0.1 million) is included in other comprehensive income or expense.

Tax on profits has been calculated at rates of taxation prevailing in the territories in which the Group operates.

Share of tax of associates and joint ventures of US$1.5 million (2017: US$1.1 million) is included in share of results of associates and joint ventures (note 4).

   6.    EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic earnings per share are calculated on the profit attributable to shareholders of US$22.3 million (2017: US$15.0 million) and on the weighted average number of 1,259.9 million (2017: 1,257.2 million) shares in issue during the period.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to shareholders of US$22.3 million (2017: US$15.0 million) and on the weighted average number of 1,263.2 million (2017: 1,261.0 million) shares 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 
                                                     2018     2017

   7.         NON-TRADING ITEMS 

Non-trading items are separately identified to provide greater understanding of the Group's underlying business performance. Items classified as non-trading items include fair value gains or losses on revaluation of equity investments which are 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 to provide additional insight into underlying business performance.

Following the fire at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London on 6th June 2018, the hotel has closed for the necessary repairs in order to restore the asset. The impact of the fire is being assessed by insurers, however, given the extent of the coverage under the Group's insurance arrangements, the impact on the Group's profitability is expected to be modest.

Based on the initial assessment by the Group, the estimated write-off of tangible assets and estimated insurance claim receivable for material damage of tangible assets caused by the fire recognised as non-trading items during the period are analysed as follows:

                                                    ------  -----

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 determined with reference to the underlying cash flow from investments, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate.

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six months ended 30th June 2018 and the year ended 31st December 2017.

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2018 and 31st December 2017, by the levels in the fair value measurement hierarchy:

 
                                                   Observable

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

The fair values of current debtors, bank and cash balances, current creditors and current borrowings 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.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the normal course of business, the Group undertakes a variety of transactions with certain of its associates and joint ventures.

The most significant of such transactions are management fees of US$7.3 million (2017: US$6.2 million) received from the Group's six (2017: six) associate and joint venture hotels which are based on long-term management agreements on normal commercial terms.

There were no other related party transactions that might be considered to have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group that were entered into or changed during the first six months of the current financial year.

Amounts of outstanding balances with associates and joint ventures are included in debtors and prepayments, as appropriate.
