Mandarin Oriental International : 2020 Half-Yearly Results Announcement

30th July 2020

The following announcement was issued today to a Regulatory Information Service approved by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom.

MANDARIN ORIENTAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 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."

Ben Keswick

Chairman

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 enhance understanding of the Group's underlying business performance.
4. At 30th June 2020 and 31st December 2019, respectively.
5. The Group's investment property under development is carried at fair value on the basis of valuations carried out by independent valuers at 30th June 2020 and 31st December 2019. The other 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 2020 and 31st December 2019 have included the market value of the Group's freehold and leasehold interests which were appraised as at 31st December 2019.

HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 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.

Fair value estimation

1. 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:
2. 1. 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.

1. Financial instruments that are measured at fair value (continued)
2. 1. 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.
