MANDARIN ORIENTAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30TH JUNE 2020

Highlights

-- Underlying loss of US$102 million

-- Majority of hotels closed during second quarter

-- Group's balance sheet and funding position remain robust

"The Group saw substantial underlying losses in the first half of the year as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. A material recovery in business levels is not expected until 2021 at the earliest and a significant further loss is therefore likely in the second half of 2020. The Board remains confident that the Group's robust financial position and strong brand will enable Mandarin Oriental to weather the downturn and return to profit when luxury travel begins to recover."

MANDARIN ORIENTAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30TH JUNE 2020

OVERVIEW

All of the Group's hotels were either closed or operated at single-digit percentage occupancy levels for much of the second quarter. Combined total revenue of hotels under management fell by 57% in the first half of 2020 compared to the equivalent period in 2019, with the majority of this decline occurring in the second quarter, which saw combined total revenues 86% lower than the same period last year. A number of cost containment measures have been implemented, but significant underlying losses were incurred in the first half of the year.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Underlying losses before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the first half of 2020 were US$50 million, compared to earnings of US$69 million in the first half of 2019. Underlying losses for the period were US$102 million, compared to an underlying profit of US$11 million in the first half of 2019.

The biannual revaluation of The Excelsior site at 30th June 2020 resulted in a non-cash decrease of 10% or US$334 million, as a result of a decline in open market office and retail rents in Hong Kong in the first half of the year. Together with the underlying loss, this resulted in a total loss attributable to shareholders for the period of US$436 million.

At 30th June 2020, net debt was US$412 million compared to US$300 million at the end of 2019. This reflected US$52 million of capital expenditure during the period, primarily in relation to the renovation of Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid and the redevelopment of The Excelsior site. Gearing was 8% of adjusted shareholders' funds, compared to 5% at the end of 2019. The Group's financial position remains robust and it is well-placed to weather a prolonged downturn. At 30th June 2020, the Group had US$187 million of cash reserves and US$217 million in available, committed debt facilities.

In light of the substantially reduced levels of business, no interim dividend will be paid.

HOTEL PERFORMANCE

In Europe and America, all hotels were closed from late March onwards. Hotels in Asia and the Middle East mostly remained open during the first half, although operating at very low occupancy levels once anti-pandemic restrictions and border controls were imposed.

The Group's flagship Hong Kong hotel remained open, but with single-digit percentage occupancy levels for most of the second quarter, and the hotel made a loss during the first half. It did, however, benefit from a partial recovery in food & beverage business when government anti-pandemic measures were relaxed. The remainder of the Group's owned hotels also incurred losses in the second quarter, despite cost containment measures.

On a more positive note, in June the Group's hotels on the Chinese mainland saw a significant recovery in occupancy levels to some 40%. Elsewhere, a number of the Group's hotels have begun to reopen in anticipation of some demand but, in many cases, this demand is expected to remain low and not in line with normal market conditions.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS

A management contract was signed in July 2020 for a new hotel and residences project in Vienna, which is scheduled to open in 2023.

PEOPLE

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all our colleagues for their continuing dedication, hard work and professionalism during such challenging times.

I stepped down as Managing Director on 15th June 2020 and was succeeded by John Witt, who joins the Board. I will continue as Chairman.

OUTLOOK

The Group saw substantial underlying losses in the first half of the year as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. A material recovery in business levels is not expected until 2021 at the earliest and a significant further loss is therefore likely in the second half of 2020. The Board remains confident that the Group's robust financial position and strong brand will enable Mandarin Oriental to weather the downturn and return to profit when luxury travel begins to recover.

 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.

The Group had early adopted the 'Interest Rate Benchmark Reform: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7' (effective 1st January 2020) for the Group's annual reporting period commencing 1st January 2019.

There are no changes to the accounting policies as described in the 2019 annual financial statements other than the following changes in relation to government grants. Other amendments which are effective in 2020 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 other standard or amendments that have been issued but not yet effective.

Government grants

Grants from government are recognised at their fair values where there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received, and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grants.

Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in the profit and loss as other income on a systematic basis in the period in which the expenses are recognised. Unconditional grants are recognised in the profit and loss as other income when they become receivable.

Grants related to assets are deducted in arriving at the carrying value of the related assets.

   6.    EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic loss/earnings per share are calculated on loss attributable to shareholders of US$435.5 million (2019: US$12.1 million) and on the weighted average number of 1,263.2 million (2019: 1,262.6 million) shares in issue during the period.

Diluted loss/earnings per share are calculated on loss attributable to shareholders of US$435.5 million (2019: US$12.1 million) and on the weighted average number of 1,263.2 million (2019: 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 
                                                     2020     2019

   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 property under development 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.

An analysis of non-trading items after interest, tax and non-controlling interests is set out below:

   8.    INVESTMENT PROPERTY UNDER DEVELOPMENT 

Following the closure of The Excelsior, Hong Kong, by the end of March 2019, 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$2,943.4 million was recognised to the asset revaluation reserve through other comprehensive income on 31st March 2019. Subsequent fair value change of the investment property under development has been recognised as a non-trading item in the profit and loss.

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 2020 and the year ended 31st December 2019.

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2020 and 31st December 2019, by the levels in the fair value measurement hierarchy:
