   (3) The Group uses 'underlying profit' in its internal financial 
   reporting to distinguish between ongoing business performance 
   and non-trading items, as more fully described in note 7 to 
   the condensed financial statements. Management considers this 
   to be a key measure which provides additional information to

   of The Excelsior site as an investment property on 31st March 
   2019. 
   (6) The Group's investment properties under development are 
   carried at fair value on the basis of valuations carried out 
   by independent valuers at 30th June 2019. The freehold and leasehold 
   interests are carried at amortised cost in the consolidated 
   balance sheet. Both the adjusted net asset value per share and 
   net debt/adjusted shareholders' funds for 30th June 2019 and 
   31st December 2018 have included the market value of the Group's 
   freehold and leasehold interests which were appraised as at 
   31st December 2018. 
   (7) The comparative figures in 2018 have been restated due to 
   changes in accounting policies upon adoption of IFRS 16 'Leases', 
   as set out in note 1 to the condensed financial statements. 
 

The interim dividend of USc1.50 per share will be payable on 17th October 2019 to shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 23rd August 2019.

MANDARIN ORIENTAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30TH JUNE 2019

OVERVIEW

Underlying profit was lower during the first half of the year, primarily due to the closure of The Excelsior and reduced earnings from the Bangkok hotel, which largely closed in March 2019 for a major renovation. Across the rest of the Group's properties, overall results were broadly flat.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the first six months of 2019 were US$69 million, down from US$84 million in the first half of 2018. In the first half of 2018, results included the receipt of a one-off 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$11 million, compared with US$22 million in the equivalent period in 2018. Underlying earnings per share were USc0.85, down from USc1.76 in 2018. The Group recognised US$23 million of net non-trading losses in the period, primarily in connection with the closure of The Excelsior.

An interim dividend of USc1.50 per share has been declared, unchanged from last year.

At 30th June 2019, the Group's net debt was US$336 million and gearing as a percentage of adjusted shareholders' funds was 6%.

HOTEL PERFORMANCE

Performances were mixed across the Group's owned properties. In Asia, a slow-down in corporate business reduced earnings at the Group's flagship Hong Kong hotel. Results in Tokyo were notably better, while in the rest of the region performances were broadly flat, except for Bangkok which was lower due to the renovation. In Europe, earnings were higher at the London hotel, which continued to include insurance coverage for loss of profits due to the fire in June 2018. In the same period last year, the hotel was only partially open whilst undergoing a renovation programme. In Paris, results were lower as city-wide demand was impacted by demonstrations in the city. In America, Boston performed well but results were weaker in Washington D.C.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS

The Group opened four new hotels in the first six months of the year in Beijing, Doha, Dubai and Lake Como.

In addition, the Group signed management contracts for two new properties: a second hotel and residences in Istanbul and standalone residences in New York.

OUTLOOK

The closure of The Excelsior and the renovation in Bangkok have led to reduced earnings in the first half of the year, while overall results for the rest of the Group were broadly flat. Elsewhere, Mandarin Oriental will benefit from its reopened hotel in London as well as the growing pipeline of new developments.

 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 2018 annual financial statements except for the adoption of IFRS 16 'Leases' from 1st January 2019 and the application of IAS 40 'Investment Properties' from 31st March 2019 at the time of the closure of The Excelsior, Hong Kong in order for the site to be redeveloped as a commercial building. Changes to the accounting policies are set out below.

The other amendments or interpretation, which are effective in 2019 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 or amendments that have been issued but not yet effective.

IFRS 16 'Leases'

The standard replaces IAS 17 'Leases' and related interpretations and introduces a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for both lessors and lessees. The distinction between operating and finance leases is removed for lessee accounting, and is replaced by a model where a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset have to be recognised on the balance sheet for almost all leases by the lessees. The Group's recognised right-of-use assets primarily relate to property leases, which are entered into for use as hotels or offices. Prior to 2019, payments made under operating leases were charged to profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. From 1st January 2019, each lease payment is allocated between settlement of the lease liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit and loss over the lease period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

In addition, leasehold land which represents payments to third parties to acquire interests in property, previously included in intangible assets and tangible assets, is now presented under right-of-use assets. Leasehold land is amortised over the useful life of the lease, which includes the renewal period if the lease is likely to be renewed by the Group without significant cost.

The accounting for lessors does not change significantly.

IAS 40 'Investment Properties'

Properties including those under operating leases which are held for long-term rental yields or capital gains are classified and accounted for as investment properties, but the business model does not necessarily envisage that the properties will be held for their entire useful life. Investment properties are carried at fair value, representing estimated open market value determined annually by independent qualified valuers who have recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued.

The market value of investment properties under development are derived using the direct comparison method, with reference to the residual method where appropriate. The direct comparison method is based on market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties which recently transacted and adjusted to reflect the conditions of the subject properties including property site and location. The residual method is based on the estimated capital value of the proposed development assuming completion as at the date of valuation, after deducting development costs together with developer's profit and risk. Consideration has been given to assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the balance sheet date. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit and loss.

Changes to accounting policies on adoption of IFRS 16 have been applied retrospectively, and the comparative financial statements have been restated.

The effects of adopting IFRS 16 were as follows:

(e) Changes in principal accounting policies on adoption of IFRS 16

Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are recognised at the commencement date of the lease, that is the date the underlying assets are available for use. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of the right-of-use assets includes amount of the initial measurement of lease liabilities recognised, lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred, and restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives and the lease terms.

When right-of-use assets meet the definition of investment properties, they are presented in investment properties, and are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value, in accordance with the Group's accounting policy.

Payments associated with short-term lease and leases of low-value assets (i.e. US$5,000 or less) are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit and loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities are recognised at the commencement of the lease and are measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased by the interest costs on the lease liabilities and decreased by lease payments made. The carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

Interest is included as finance costs and charged to the profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liabilities for each period.

Lease liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities unless payments are within 12 months from the balance sheet date.

(f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

(i) Determination of lease term of contracts with renewal options

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any period covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Group has the option, under some of its leases to lease the assets for additional terms. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. That is, the Group considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew.

The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the options impacts the lease terms, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.

(ii) Determination of discount rates

The Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date as the discount rate to measure a lease liability if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determinable. The Group applies the incremental borrowing rate with reference to the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow, over a similar term as that of the lease, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in the country where it is located.

Tax credit relating to cash flow hedges of US$0.4 million (2018: tax charge of US$0.3 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$1.1 million (2018: US$1.5 million) is included in share of results of associates and joint ventures (note 4).

   6.    EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic loss/earnings per share are calculated on loss attributable to shareholders of US$12.1 million (2018: profit of US$22.2 million) and on the weighted average number of 1,262.6 million (2018: 1,259.9 million) shares in issue during the period.

Diluted loss/earnings per share are calculated on loss attributable to shareholders of US$12.1 million (2018: profit of US$22.2 million) and on the weighted average number of 1,263.2 million (2018: 1,263.2 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

   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 investments properties and investments which are measured at 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.

* On 15th April 2019, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London fully re-opened following the necessary repairs caused by the fire on 6th June 2018. The repair expenses and write-off of damaged tangible assets, and other incidental expenses have been recognised as non-trading expenses. The Group received interim cash payments during 2018 and the first half of 2019 from the insurers (note 10). The insurance compensations for the replacement of tangible assets and other incidental expenses have been recognised as non-trading income. The insurance compensations for the reimbursement of operating expenditures and loss of profits of US$31.1 million and US$11.8 million have been recorded as underlying business performance in 2018 and the first half of 2019 respectively. The total property damage and business interruption claims with the Group's insurers are expected to be concluded in 2019.

Following an announcement on 9th October 2018, The Excelsior, Hong Kong closed on 31st March 2019 and demolition work has commenced ahead of the planned construction of a commercial building on the site (note 8). An accelerated depreciation and amortisation charge as a result of the revision of the estimated useful lives of the non-leasehold land assets of the hotel, together with additional costs in respect of the hotel closure, have been recognised as non-trading expenses in 2018 and the first half of 2019.

   8.    INVESTMENT PROPERTIES UNDER DEVELOPMENT 

Following the closure of The Excelsior, Hong Kong, its use has been changed from a hotel property to a commercial property for redevelopment. The site was revalued and transferred from a right-of-use asset held at historical depreciated cost to an investment property under development subject to regular valuation reviews. The revaluation surplus of US$2.9 billion was recognised to the asset revaluation reserve through other comprehensive income. Subsequent fair value change of the investment property has been recognised as a non-trading item in the profit and loss.

   9.    BORROWINGS 

The Group entered into new committed facilities of US$754 million in 2019, comprising a US$114 million facility in London and a US$640 million facility in Hong Kong. Both facilities have a tenor of five-year period and are secured against Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London and Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong respectively. The new facilities were used to refinance bank loans due to mature in 2019.

10. INSURANCE RECOVERY RECEIVED FOR PURCHASE OF TANGIBLE ASSETS

The Group received interim insurance payments of US$66.3 million and US$7.8 million in 2018 and the first half of 2019 respectively, covering both property damage and business interruption caused by the fire at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London on 6th June 2018. Of this US$74.1 million, US$7.8 million was to cover the remedial capital expenditure of the tangible assets which was recorded under investing activities. The remaining balance was recorded under operating activities.

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 2019 and the year ended 31st December 2018.

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2019 and 31st December 2018, 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, 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.

14. 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 (2018: US$7.3 million) received from the Group's six (2018: 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 as appropriate.
