-- Group RevPAR for the first quarter of 2018 fell by 3.1% to GBP68.48 (Q1 2017: GBP70.66). In constant currency, RevPAR increased by 3.2%.

-- Reported hotel revenue decreased by 2.1% to GBP187m (Q1 2017: GBP191m). Exchange loss arising from the stronger pound was GBP11m and this reduced the Group's reported hotel revenue.

-- London performance was affected by the partial closure to-date of the Millennium Hotel London Mayfair during refurbishment, which is normally a significant revenue contributor for the region, together with slower trading at other London hotels.

-- In constant currency, hotel revenue increased by 3.9% with higher contributions from Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza (re-branded in August 2017) and M Social Auckland (opened in October 2017).

-- Total revenue for Q1 2018 fell by GBP6m or 2.7% to GBP217m (Q1 2017: GBP223m), including foreign exchange loss of GBP13m.

-- Profit before tax for the first quarter of 2018 increased by GBP13m to GBP26m (Q1 2017: GBP13m). Included in the Group pre-tax profit for this quarter is the gain from the disposal of two Australian hotels that were owned by CDL Hospitality Trusts ("CDLHT") of GBP3m. The Group also benefitted from the higher profit contributions from CDLHT and First Sponsor Group Limited ("FSGL"), an associated company, with the total contributions being GBP3m higher than last year.

-- Net finance cost for this quarter was lower than the corresponding period last year, mainly due to the absence of a foreign exchange loss of GBP4m arising from CDLHT's loan repayment.

Mr Kwek Leng Beng, Chairman commented:

"Performance over the first three months of the year was mixed. London declined and Europe is showing indications of weakness, whilst our Millennium Broadway New York hotel continues to hold back overall trading performance in New York. More positively, Asia showed some signs of a recovery and New Zealand continued to perform well. We are on track to move forward on a number of significant capital investment projects this year, designed to improve returns on Group assets. We also remain alert to acquisition opportunities.

Following the close of the first quarter the Group announced the appointment of Jennifer Fox as Group Chief Executive Officer. Ms Fox, who will join the Group on 19 June 2018, has 30 years of experience in the global hospitality industry and has held senior executive roles in operations, branding and marketing across mid-scale, upscale and luxury segments of the industry."

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

For the three months ended 31 March 2018, reported revenue decreased by 2.7% to GBP217m (Q1 2017: GBP223m). However on a constant currency basis, Group revenue increased by 3.3%. This is due to foreign exchange loss of GBP13m as a result of the stronger pound against major currencies in Q1 2018 versus to the same period last year.

In constant currency, hotel revenue increased by GBP7m or 3.9% mainly driven by higher contributions from Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza which was re-branded in August 2017, and M Social Auckland which opened in October 2017. However, cost pressures continued to persist in the Group's New York hotels, impacting their profitability.

Property revenue was down by GBP3m or 17.6% due principally to the lower land sales in New Zealand during this quarter. REIT revenue increased by GBP3m or 23.1% due to contribution from newly acquired hotels.

HOTEL OPERATIONS

For comparability, the following performance review is based on calculations in constant currency whereby 31 March 2017 hotel revenue, RevPAR and average room rates have been translated at average exchange rates for the first three months ended 31 March 2018.

In constant currency, Group RevPAR increased by 3.2% for the first quarter ended 31 March 2018. Occupancy was down by 0.5% points and average room rate increased by 3.9%. On a like-for-like basis, excluding new hotels and those impacted by refurbishment or closures, Group RevPAR increased by 3.5% compared to the same period last year.

# In constant currency whereby 31 March 2017 RevPAR and average room rates have been translated at average exchange rates for the first quarter ended 31 March 2018.

US

RevPAR for the US region grew by 4.7%, driven principally by the increase in average room rate. New York RevPAR increased by 7.1% after the transfer of management of One UN to Hilton in August 2017 and its re-branding as Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza.

Regional US RevPAR grew by 2.1%, contributed mainly by Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles which had secured business relating to the NBA All-Star event held in February 2018.

Europe

Europe RevPAR dropped by 4.2%, with occupancy down by 3.4% points and a small increase of 0.6% in average room rate. London RevPAR decreased by 9.4% mainly due to the refurbishment of the 336-room Millennium Hotel London Mayfair which started in November 2017. Rooms were removed from the inventory and as at 31 March 2018, the hotel was trading based on 159 rooms. RevPAR for the Rest of Europe was up by 5.1%.

Excluding Millennium Hotel London Mayfair and Millennium Hotel Glasgow where 56 rooms were permanently removed from the hotel in connection with the redevelopment of Queen Street Station, Europe RevPAR decreased by 0.3%. On the same basis, RevPAR for London decreased by 3.1% and Rest of Europe increased by 4.3%.

Asia

RevPAR for Asia increased by 3.0% driven by 2.7% increase in average room rate and 0.3% points increase in occupancy. Singapore RevPAR was up by 1.1% as a result of a 1.9% increase in average room rate offset by 0.8% points decrease in occupancy.

RevPAR for Rest of Asia grew by 4.7% with average room rate up by 3.3% and occupancy up by 0.8% points. Millennium Seoul Hilton benefited from increased demand during the recent Winter Olympics. Grand Hyatt Taipei also performed better this quarter due to growth in the number of group meetings.

Australasia

Australasia RevPAR grew by 11.1% led by a significant contribution from M Social Auckland which opened in October 2017. Excluding M Social Auckland and Millennium New Plymouth which was acquired in February 2018, the increase in RevPAR was 7.8%.

Acquisition

On 1 February 2018, the Group acquired The Waterfront Hotel in New Plymouth, New Zealand, for a purchase consideration of NZ$11m (GBP6m). The iconic 42-room hotel was re-branded Millennium New Plymouth after the acquisition.

Disposal

On 11 January 2018, CDLHT completed the divestment of two hotels in Australia, the Mercure Brisbane and Ibis Brisbane for A$77m (GBP44m) and a gain of GBP3m was recognised by the Group.

Developments

The construction of a 263-room hotel and a 250-unit residential apartment block on 35,717m(2) mixed use freehold landsite at Sunnyvale, California is planned to start this year. The construction cost is now estimated at around US$200m (GBP141m) after changes to the earlier design.

The necessary building approvals for the Yangdong development project in Seoul have been obtained, but further review for the most optimal and efficient design is still being carried out before commencing the construction works. The current development cost is estimated to be KRW157b (GBP103m) for the construction of a 306-room hotel and a 209-unit serviced apartment complex, as previously announced, and will be further updated once the review process is finalised.

Hotel refurbishments

The refurbishment work costing around GBP40m at Millennium Hotel London Mayfair started in November 2017. It is proceeding to-date as a phased project whereby guest-rooms are taken out from the inventory in stages. Completion of guest room refurbishment is expected to complete in the fourth quarter, followed by refurbishment of the lobby and public areas.

Refurbishment plans for Millennium Hotel London Knightsbridge are under review. The Group also plans to spend about US$80m (GBP56m) to upgrade its New York properties over the next two years.

Other Group operations

Joint ventures and associates contributed GBP5m to pre-tax profit in 2018 (Q1 2017: GBP4m). The Group has an effective interest of 36% in First Sponsor Group Limited ("FSGL"), which is listed on the Singapore Exchange and reports its results independently.

On 11 January 2018, a partnership comprised of a subsidiary of FSGL together with subsidiaries of CDL and another substantial shareholder of FSGL acquired a 300-room hotel currently operated by a tenant as the "Le Meridien Frankfurt" situated in Frankfurt for EUR79m (GBP70m), excluding certain transaction related expenses. On 1 February 2018, FSGL together with four other co-investors acquired all the issued shares of Hotelmaatschappij Rotterdam B.V which owns the 254-room Hilton Rotterdam Hotel in the Netherlands for EUR51m (GBP45m). Following the completion of the transaction, FSGL owns 24.7% interest in the acquired company.

In April 2018, the Group subscribed for its full entitlement of FSGL's rights issue of new perpetual convertible capital securities ("PCCS") for a total cost of S$58.2m (GBP31m) and the PCCS were allotted on 19 April 2018.

Board changes

Christian de Charnacé was appointed to the Audit Committee with effect from 23 March 2018. The Audit and Risk Committees are to be amalgamated immediately following the Company's 2018 Annual General Meeting, with the members of the Risk Committee relinquishing their roles at that time. Jennifer Fox has been appointed as the Group Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors, and will join the Company on 19 June 2018.
