-- In constant currency, Group RevPAR grew by 4.6% with increases in both occupancy and average room rate of 2.9% points and 0.3% respectively. In reported currency, Group RevPAR increased by 17.7%.

-- London RevPAR growth of 14.5% reflected the lower pound boosting tourist numbers and a weak comparative quarter in the previous year.

-- New York RevPAR was higher by 7.0%, helped by improved trading at ONE UN New York after the completion of its refurbishment at the end of 2016. Despite improved revenues, the Group's New York hotels made an overall loss in the quarter.

-- Singapore RevPAR was down slightly by 0.9%. Occupancy increased by 4.7% points but average room rate dropped by 6.3%.

-- Profit before tax fell by GBP5m or 27.8% for the period. Excluding foreign exchange losses arising at CDL Hospitality Trusts ("CDLHT"), Group pre-tax profit for the period was GBP17m (Q1 2016: GBP18m).

Mr Kwek Leng Beng, Chairman commented:

"Group revenue improved during the first three months of 2017, particularly in London and New Zealand. Singapore RevPAR continues to be under pressure as a result of increased room supply and uncertain economic conditions. Performance in Rest of Asia was negatively affected by geo-political tensions impacting inbound tourism into Seoul and Taipei. Poor performance in the US region especially New York, remains a concern. We are addressing the issues contributing to the under-performance in this region and our immediate focus is on the US management structure, which is currently under review."

Hotel revenue for Q1 2017 increased by GBP5m or 2.7%, driven by higher contributions from the Group's hotels in London and New Zealand.

Property revenue for the period increased by GBP2m or 12.5%, mainly because of higher contribution from New Zealand land sales.

Profit before tax for the first three months of 2017 fell by 27.8% to GBP13m (Q1 2016: GBP18m). This includes GBP4m of foreign exchange losses arising at CDLHT and recorded as finance cost in the Group income statement.

# In constant currency whereby 31 March 2016 RevPAR and average room rates have been translated at average exchange rates for the period ended 31 March 2017.

In constant currency, Group RevPAR increased by 4.6% to GBP70.66 (Q1 2016: GBP67.56). Like-for-like(1) RevPAR increased by 1.8%.

Note 1: Like-for-like comparisons exclude the impact of acquisitions, closures and refurbishments; and they are stated in constant currency terms.

US

US RevPAR for the period increased by 4.8% to GBP70.31 (Q1 2016 GBP67.08). Occupancy increased by 3.2% points and average room rate was down by 0.9%.

New York RevPAR increased by 7.0% as a result of a 7.9% point rise in occupancy which was partially offset by a 4.8% drop in average room rate. Excluding ONE UN New York where the east tower was closed for refurbishment during Q1 2016, RevPAR for US and New York increased by 1.7% and 0.8% respectively.

RevPAR for Regional US increased by 2.5% to GBP50.25 (Q1 2016: GBP49.01) with increases in both occupancy and average room rate.

Europe

Europe RevPAR for Q1 2017 increased by 8.9%, reflecting a better start to the year compared to Q1 2016 when the region was affected by terror attacks in Paris and Brussels. RevPAR for London grew by 14.5% to GBP86.90 (Q1 2016: GBP75.89) with increases in both average room rate and occupancy in line with the general market and a significantly higher contribution from The Bailey's Hotel London after its refurbishment, completed in Q1 2016.

RevPAR for Rest of Europe reduced slightly by 0.8% mainly due to the Group's hotels in Paris where the pick-up has been slow as a result of the on-going terrorism threat.

Asia

Asia RevPAR for Q1 2017 fell by 4.1% to GBP68.81 (Q1 2016: GBP71.77). Occupancy was maintained at around last year's rate but average room rate dropped by 5.4%.

Singapore RevPAR dropped slightly by 0.9% with average room rate lower by 6.3%. The Group deployed a competitive pricing strategy, which succeeded in lifting occupancy by 4.7% points, re-balancing the mix of guests in light of continuing pressure on corporate travel budgets and increased room inventory. Rest of Asia RevPAR decreased by 6.9% in Q1 2017, mainly due to the lower number of Chinese visitors to Taipei and Seoul.

Australasia

Australasia RevPAR grew by 17.3% in Q1 2017, despite a dip in overseas visitor numbers in March 2017. The increase in RevPAR was mainly due to a successful rate-driven yield management strategy across the estate, with the recently opened Grand Millennium Auckland delivering a strong performance over the period. Excluding Grand Millennium Auckland, RevPAR for Australasia increased by 5.7%.

Developments

The tender for the Yangdong development project in Seoul is underway. Construction work is expected to start in the last quarter of this year.

The Group has adjusted the specifications slightly in relation to the mixed use development of its 35,717m(2) freehold landsite at Sunnyvale California resulting in lower costs, compared to earlier projections.

Hotel refurbishments

Phased refurbishments of Millennium Hotel London Mayfair and Millennium Hotel London Knightsbridge are planned to commence later this year, after the Group has finalised the scope and cost of the works.

Refurbishment of guestrooms on levels 7 and 8 of Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur will be completed this year. Refurbishment of the guestrooms on levels 9 to 19 was completed last year.

Copthorne Hotel Auckland Harbourcity is in its final stage of construction and will soft-open in Q3 this year. It will be rebranded M Social Auckland.

Asset disposals

The Group continues to engage with the developer of Birmingham's Paradise Circus redevelopment scheme, under previously agreed commercial arrangements, regarding the closure and acquisition by the developer of the Copthorne Hotel Birmingham and possible acquisition by the Group of an alternative site for development of a new hotel within the scheme.

In March 2017 the Scottish Ministers approved an order that will allow Network Rail Infrastructure Limited ("Network Rail") to take permanently and to demolish the 1970s-built, 51-room extension of the Millennium Hotel Glasgow, in connection with the redevelopment of Queen Street Station. The Group will be entitled to compensation which will either be negotiated or settled at the Lands Tribunal. If the decision is not appealed, separation works are anticipated to commence in the summer of 2017. The Group is continuing to consider its options, whilst maintaining a commercial dialogue with Network Rail.

Other Group operations

Joint ventures and associates contributed GBP4m to profit in Q1 2017 (Q1 2016: GBP3m). The Group has an effective interest of 36% in First Sponsor Group Limited, which is listed on the Singapore Exchange and reports its results publicly.

Financial position

At 31 March 2017, the Group had net debt of GBP710m (Dec 2016: net debt GBP707m). Excluding CDLHT, the net debt at 31 March 2017 was GBP212m (Dec 2016: net debt GBP232m).

Current trading

On a constant currency basis, Group RevPAR was up by 4.7% for the three weeks ended 21 April 2017, with New York up by 19.9%, Regional US down by 1.8%, London up by 17.1%, Rest of Europe down by 8.9%, Singapore down by 10.8%, Rest of Asia down by 5.4% and Australasia up by 24.1%.
