Accor - Condensed consolidated financial statements and notes

June 30, 2020

Note 1. Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Accor Group for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were examined by the Board of Directors on August 4, 2020.

1.1. Accounting framework

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the interim financial report does not include all the information and disclosures required in an annual report and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of new and amended standards effective at January 1, 2020, as set out below. The specific measurement principles applied in the interim reporting period are described in Note 4.3 for employee benefits and Note 10 for income tax.

1.2 Evolution of accounting framework

1.2.1 New standards and amendments adopted by the Group

The adoption of following amendments, which are mandatorily effective from January 1, 2020, had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group:

  • Amendment to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business, which provides a new guidance to determine whether an acquisition shall be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset(s) acquisition. It clarifies that, to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.
  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material, which refine the definition of material for the purpose of preparing financial statements. They clarify that the omission or a misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users of the financial statements.
  • Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in the IFRS standards, pursuant to the release by the IASB of its revised Conceptual Framework, which introduces some new concepts and provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities.

1.2.2 Future standards, amendments and interpretations

The Group has not early adopted any other standard, amendment or interpretation applicable to financial years starting after June 30, 2020, regardless of whether they were adopted by the European Union.

Besides, on May 28, 2020 the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 16 Leases Covid-19Related Rent Concessions, providing lessees with an optional practical exemption to account for rent concessions granted by lessors as a result of the Covid- 19 pandemic, such as deferral of lease payments and payment holidays. Lessees are exempted from assessing whether a rent concession is a lease modification, allowing in many cases an accounting as variable lease payments in the income statement. At the date on which the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, this amendment, effective from June 1st, 2020 with retrospective application, has not been adopted by the European Union. The Group does not expect the potential application of this amendment to result in a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. This analysis will be refined in the coming months considering the evolution of the Covid-19 crisis.

Accor - Condensed consolidated financial statements and notes

June 30, 2020

1.3 Estimates and judgments

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at closing date, income and expenses of the period and accompanying disclosures. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies. Ultimate results may differ from these estimates, due changes in facts and circumstances.

The estimates and assumptions used are reviewed on an on-going basis, based on historical experience and all other factors considered to be decisive given the environment and circumstances.

The uncertainty created by the Covid-19 health crisis has made the use of estimates more critical for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended on June 30, 2020. In this context, the main areas that involved significant estimates and a higher degree of judgement are:

  • The measurement of the recoverable amounts of goodwill and other non-current assets,
  • The measurement of the recoverable value of equity accounted investments,
  • The assessment of available future taxable profits over which deferred tax assets can be utilized,
  • The measurement of the fair value of financial assets,
  • The measurement of variable considerations from contracts with hotel owners.

Accor - Condensed consolidated financial statements and notes

June 30, 2020

Note 2. Significant events in the current period

2.1 Impacts of the Covid-19 health crisis

The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic across the world and related containment measures initiated by the governments (including travel bans, border closings and stay-at-home directives) sharply affected the travel and hospitality industries over the first half of 2020. The Group's operations were heavily impacted with c. 60% of Accor branded hotels closed in April and May. The month of June showed signs of slight business improvement, especially in China, while some hotels started to re-open across the world, mainly in Asia and in Europe. At June 30, 2020 the portion of closed hotels represented 32% of the Group's network.

Over the first semester 2020, consolidated revenue amounted to €917 million, down by 52.4% compared to reported revenue of €1,926 million over the same period 2019 (see Note 4.1). The Group expects a severe impact on its full year financial performance.

Going concern basis and cash management

In this unprecedented situation, Accor implemented mitigation measures to adapt its variable costs to the sharp drop in business and preserve its liquidity position, including furloughing and partial unemployment measures, decrease in some variable components of employee compensation, reduction in sales and marketing expenses and recurring investments. The Group benefited from government supports in relation to furloughing, partial employment and job retainer measures in some countries (mainly in Australia, Canada and France), which are presented as a reduction in staff costs in the income statement of the period, in accordance with IAS 20 Government grants. An extension of the payment term for social charges was also obtained in France for €26 million at June 30, 2020.

Besides, on March 24, 2020 the Group decided to suspend its share buy-back programs, after completion of the program launched in January 2020 for an amount of €300 million. On April 2, 2020 the Board of Directors announced its decision to withdraw the proposal for the 2019 dividend payment of €280 million.

Accor has a strong financial position, with net cash and cash equivalent totaling €2,446 million at June 30, 2020. In addition, the Group has undrawn credit facilities of €1,760 million, following the negotiation of an additional credit facility of €560 million with a bank consortium in May (see Note 9). This new credit facility is covenant free and the Group has obtained a covenant holiday for the already existing facility €1,200 million until June 2021.

Therefore, at the date on which the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, the going-concern basis, for at least the next 12 months, was not questioned.

Impairment test of non-financial assets

The Covid-19 crisis adversely affected all the regions in which Accor is operating, with particularly material impacts. Therefore, the Group determined that indicators of impairment existed at June 30, 2020 and conducted impairment tests to assess the recoverability of its goodwill, intangible assets, PP&E and equity investments.

On this basis, the Group recognized impairment losses of €708 million, presented in the line "Other income and expenses" in the consolidated income statement, on following non-financial assets:

  • Brands (€278 million),
  • Management contracts (€173 million)
  • Goodwill (€155 million, of which €87 million on the room distribution and management of hotel common areas activity operated in Australia, €19 million on a hotel property in Egypt and €47 million on the Hotel booking services activity), and
  • Equity accounted investments (€91 million).

11

Accor - Condensed consolidated financial statements and notes

June 30, 2020

Details on the impairment tests conducted are presented in Note 7.4.

Credit losses on financial assets

The Group considered the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in assessing the expected credit losses on its financial assets measured at amortized cost, mainly on trade receivables and loans. This resulted in the recognition of a bad debt expense of €49 million, presented in operating expenses, and an impairment loss of €260 million on the loan granted to the equity investment sbe, presented in other income and expenses (see Note 9.4).

Deferred tax assets

The Group assessed the recoverability of its deferred tax assets in light of the current situation, based on revised future taxable profit projections covering a 5-year period, consistently with the business assumptions retained in the Group's business plan. On this basis, a €90 million write-off was recognized over the period, of which €63 million in relation to the tax loss carryforwards in the US and €27 million in relation to Germany (see Note 10).

Non-current expenses

On April 2, 2020, Accor announced its decision to contribute to global solidarity initiatives to address the current health crisis with the launch of the « All Heartist » initiative. The purpose is to assist the employees of the Group's network by paying for their Covid-19 related medical expenses and, on a case-by-case basis, furloughed employees and individual partners in great financial distress. The Group allocated a maximum envelope of €70 million, corresponding to 25% of the planned withdrawn dividend for the year 2019. Over the first semester 2020, the expense incurred in that respect amounted to €6 million, and is presented in other income and expenses in the income statement (see Note 6). The Group considers that this initiative, which is driven by an extraordinary situation, is not related to its current operating performance.

2.2. Other significant events

Other significant events that occurred during the period are:

  • The disposal of Orbis and Mövenpick's hotel assets on March 2020 (see Note 3.1.2)
  • The acquisition of Mama Shelter through the purchase of an additional 20.1% stake in March 2020 (see Note 3.1.1)
  • The completion of the share buy-back program initiated in January 2020 for €300 million in March 2020 (see Note 11.1.4)
  • The repayment of the €127 million remaining balance of the €900 million perpetual subordinated bonds issued in June 2014 (see Note 11.1.5)

Note 3. Group Structure

3.1 Changes in the scope of consolidation

3.1.1 Acquisitions for the period

On March 10, 2020, Accor acquired an additional stake of 20.1% in Mama Shelter for €16 million. This transaction increases its ownership to 70% of the share capital and voting rights, enabling the Group to take control over the company. The provisional goodwill amounts to €14 million, and is computed as the difference between:

  • The aggregate of the price paid for the additional 20.1% stake, the previously held interest of 49.9% remeasured at fair value at acquisition date and non-controlling interests measured at their share in the net assets acquired,
  • And the net assets acquired amounting to €58 million.

The purchase price allocation will be completed within the 12-month measurement period following acquisition date.

Besides, the Group benefits from a call option to acquire the 30% remaining shares in 2021-2022.

Mama Shelter's contribution to the Group's consolidated revenue and net profit was not material, neither from the period from March 10 to June 30, 2020, nor on a proforma basis if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2020.

The transaction resulted in a cash outflow of €11 million (net of the cash acquired) in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the period.

3.1.2 Disposals over the period

Disposal of Orbis' Hotel Assets business

On March 11, 2020 Accor completed the disposal of its 85.8% stake in the share capital of its subsidiary Orbis to AccorInvest. Following the acquisition by Accor of Orbis' hotels management and franchise business on October 31st, 2019, this transaction allows the Group to pursue the transformation of its business model to "Asset-light". Orbis' portfolio comprises 73 owned and leased hotel assets.

On December 16, 2019, the Group entered into a binding agreement to sell its stake in Orbis to AccorInvest at a price of PLN115 per share, corresponding to proceeds for Accor of PLN4.55 billion, by way of a public tender offer. On December 17, 2019 AccorInvest filed its tender offer to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority for all of the shares in Orbis' share capital.

On February 19, 2020 the antitrust clearance from the European Commission was obtained. On February 24, 2020 Accor irrevocably tendered its 85.8% stake in Orbis to the public tender offer, whose subscription period ended on March 5, 2020. The settlement and delivery of shares occurred on March 11, 2020.

At this date, the assets and liabilities of Orbis, which were classified as held for sale in the Group's consolidated financial statements from June 30, 2019 in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-currentassets held for sale and Discontinued operations, were derecognized. Orbis' net result until completion date is reported separately under "Profit from discontinued operations".

The transaction being a sale of a subsidiary to an associate ("downstream" transaction under IAS 28 Investments in associates and Joint Ventures), which resulted in loss of exclusive control, the Group applied the principles of IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements, which require to recognize a full gain on disposal.

Accor - Condensed consolidated financial statements and notes

June 30, 2020

The pre-tax capital gain on disposal amounts to €280 million, and is computed as the difference between:

  • On one hand, the sale proceeds for the 85.8% stake of €1,051 million, adjusted by the changes in fair value of hedging instruments subscribed to hedge the risk of unfavourable change in Euro/PLN exchange rate on the selling price (representing a €8 million gain) and the recycling in the income statement of the Group's share in cumulative exchange losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income for €(43) million, and increased by the €79 million carrying amount of non-controlling interests,
  • And, on the other hand, the carrying amount of Orbis' net assets, as recognized in the Group's financial statements on completion date for €815 million.

In the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements, the €260 million profit from discontinued operations comprises the capital gain on disposal net of tax and other direct related costs (€257 million) and Orbis' net profit until completion date (€3 million).

The transaction resulted in a cash inflow of €1,060 million in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the period.

Orbis' contribution to the consolidated net profit and cash flows over the period is detailed below.

Disposal of Mövenpick leased hotels

On March 2, 2020 Accor completed the disposal of 70% of the share capital and voting rights of Hospitality Swiss PropCo AG, its subsidiary which holds the portfolio of Mövenpick's leased hotels, to the German private fund HR Group. The transaction was previously approved by the German merger control competition authority on February 11, 2020. Accor retains a 30% residual interest in the entity and becomes the manager of the hotels, which continue to be operated under the Mövenpick brand, through the implementation of management agreements.

In accordance with the principles of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial statements, this transaction leads to a loss of control of Hospitality Swiss PropCo AG, insofar as the rights held by Accor (voting rights retained combined with contractual rights resulting from the management agreements) will not give it the power to unilaterally direct its relevant activities, i.e. hotels operation and strategic management of hotel portfolio.

Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the entity, which were classified as assets held for sale in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2019 in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-currentassets held for sale and Discontinued Operations, were derecognized on completion date. The retained residual interest held by Accor is recorded under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements, as a result of the significant influence exercised by the Group.

The gain on disposal amounts to €7 million and is reported in other income and expenses in the consolidated income statement of the period (see Note 6).

The transaction resulted in a cash inflow of €10 million (net of the cash sold) in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the period.

As aforementioned, the assets and liabilities related to Orbis and Mövenpick's Hotel Assets business have been disposed of over the period (see Note 3.1 for more details).

At June 30, 2020 John Paul's assets and liabilities have been maintained as assets held for sale. The discussions initiated with potential investors at year-end 2019 were pursued over the period. The Group considers that the conclusion of a partnership with a view to dispose of its control remains highly probable. In accordance with the principles of IFRS 5 Non-currentassets held for sale and Discontinued operations, the carrying value of the disposal group has been reduced to its fair value less costs to sell, leading to the recognition of a €16 million impairment loss included in the line "Other income and expenses" in the consolidated income statement. This loss has been allocated to the goodwill for €13 million and to the brand for €3 million.

Besides, Accor initiated negotiations with a view to sale-and-lease back its head office in Issy-Les-Moulineaux. In June 2020, discussions have been engaged with potential investors in order to sell the shares of the SCI Sequana entity, which holds the building and the related financial debt. At June 30, 2020, the assets and liabilities of the company were classified as assets held for sale, in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-currentassets held for sale and Discontinued operations, as completion of the transaction is considered as highly probable. This reclassification is based on the assumption that the contemplated transaction will result in a loss of control of the asset. At June 30, 2020, the comparison of the carrying value of the disposal group with its fair value less costs to sell did not reveal any impairment.

The reduction in staff costs over the period is explained, on one hand, by the decrease in costs incurred on behalf of owners as part of hotel management (and recharged to them) due to hotels closures and, on the other hand, by the effect of the mitigation measures implemented by the Group to face the Covid-19 crisis (see Note 2.1) and of government supports obtained in relation to furloughing, partial employment and job retainer measures mainly in Australia, Canada and France.

Property rents expense corresponds to the variable part of hotel properties operated under lease contracts. Other operating expenses consist mainly of marketing, advertising, promotional, selling and information systems costs.

Operating expenses includes the effect of the elimination of intragroup flows with Orbis (classified as discontinued operation) over 2019 and 2020 until its disposal.

Accor - Condensed consolidated financial statements and notes

June 30, 2020

4.3 Employee benefit expenses 4.3.1 Pensions and other benefits

Accounting policy

The post-employment and other long-term employee benefits obligation is calculated by projecting the December 31, 2019 obligation over a six-month period, taking into account any benefits paid and any changes to plan assets. At June 30, the actuarial assumptions used in the calculation of the employee benefit obligations are updated in the event of significant change over the period.

At June 30, 2020 the update of discount rates had no material impact on the Group's obligations (€2 million decrease).

4.3.2 Share-based payments

Over the first semester 2020, employee benefits expenses include €13 million related to share-base payments.

On May 28, 2020, the Group granted 1,796,551 performance shares to its employees, subject to a three-year vesting period. At this date, the fair value of the performance share was €21.89, corresponding to the share price of €25.87 less the discounted present value of dividends not received during the vesting period and the effect of external conditions.

The shares will vest provided that the grantee remains with the Group until the end of the three-year vesting period, and the following performance conditions are fulfilled over the years 2020 to 2023:

  • Internal conditions(70% weighting): For 2020, level of achievement of the cost savings compared to the revised budget and, for 2021 and 2022, EBITDA margin compared to the budget and level of free cash flows, excluding disposal proceeds and external growth, including changes in operating working capital compared to the budget,
  • External condition(30% weighting): change in Accor's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) compared with that of other international hospitality groups. The estimated probability of this performance condition being fulfilled was taken into account to determine the fair value of the performance shares at grant date.

The total fair value of this plan amounts to €39 million and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period under employee benefits expenses, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The expense recognized in relation to this plan over the first semester 2020 amounted to €1 million.

Besides, the decision of the Board of Directors held on May 14, 2020 modified over the period the internal conditions attached to the plans granted on May 31 and October 25, 2019. In order to assess the operating performance for the year 2020, the criteria related to the EBITDA margin rate and the level of free cash flows, excluding disposals proceeds and external growth, and including operating working capital compared to the budget have been replaced by a condition related to the level of achievement of cost savings compared to the revised budget.

For the plans granted on June 26 and October 17, 2018 the approach for assessing the operating performance for the year 2020 has been modified. Accordingly, the achievement of the conditions related to EBIT margin and the level of free cash flows, excluding disposals proceeds and external growth, and including operating working capital will be assessed compared to the revised budget (and no longer to the budget).

The Group considered these modifications in the estimate of the probable number of shares that are expected to be vested.

7.4 Impairment tests

In accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, Accor is required to assess, at each closing date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired and, if so, estimate the recoverable amount of this asset. As indicated in Note 2, the Covid-19 health crisis has led to a sudden deterioration in the travel and hospitality industries. Given the impacts on its business, the Group has determined that indicators of impairment existed in all its businesses and markets. Accordingly, it conducted specific impairment tests at June 30, 2020 on its non-current assets:

  • HotelServices: brands, hotels management agreements, contract assets as well as groups of CGUs and associated goodwill by region,
  • Hotel Assets & Others: individual hotel assets as well as the room distribution and management of hotel common areas and timeshare activities,
  • New Businesses: digital services and hotel booking services activities.

7.4.1 Impairment losses

At June 30, 2020, the impairment tests conducted by the Group led to recognize impairment losses of €708 million, presented as other income and expenses in the interim condensed consolidated income statement (see Note 6) in relation to following assets:

  • HotelServices brands for €278 million, notably Fairmont, Raffles and Swissôtel (€264 million),
  • HotelServices management contracts for €173 million,
  • The room distribution and management of hotel common areas activity in Australia (€87 million fully allocated to goodwill),
  • Hotel properties for €32 million, of which €21 million is allocated to goodwill and €11 million to tangible assets,
  • The hotel booking services activity (€47 million allocated to goodwill),
  • And equity accounted investments for €91 million, including €44 million on the company Interglobe Hotels Private Limited, which operates ibis hotels in India.

As a result, impairment losses on goodwill amounted to €155 million, of which €108 million for the segment Hotel Assets & Others and €47 million for New Businesses.

7.4.2 Methodology for impairment tests

The impairment tests were carried out based on revised discounted future cash flows that reflect the Group's current best estimate, at closing date, of the expected impacts of the health crisis and the economic conditions for recovery. The Group prepared a 5-year business plan, based on a central scenario assuming a return to cash flows equivalent to those of 2019 in 2023, consistently with available external data.

The revenue forecasts were based, on one hand, on the 2020 revised budget prepared by the Group's entities, in line with "RevPar" trends by geography (average revenue per available room) and specific local conditions, and, on the other hand, on assumptions by geography retained by the Group for the 2021-2024 period, consistently with macroeconomic trends from market studies prepared by independent firms.

The terminal value was calculated by extrapolating future flows beyond 5 years based on normative inflation rates by region (perpetuity growth rate) impacted, over a limited period, by development assumptions.

26

Accor - Condensed consolidated financial statements and notes

June 30, 2020

The discount rate retained corresponds to the Group's weighted average cost of capital at June 30, 2020 based on available market data at that date and considering the specific risks of the regions. This update led to an increase in the industry beta retained (5-year average based on a sample of comparable companies), reflecting an increased volatility in the hospitality industry on the markets. For New Businesses, the weighted average cost of capital is calculated using a specific industry beta.

7.4.3 Sensitivity of recoverable values

The Group carried out sensitivity analyses, notably regarding the central recovery assumption retained. Thus, at June 30, 2020:

  • Assuming a slower recovery from 2022 resulting in a return to cash flows equivalent to those of 2019 in 2024 (instead of 2023), the Group would have recognized at June 30, 2020 an additional impairment loss of c. €106 million, of which:
  1. €85 million related to HotelServices (€37 million on goodwill, €38 million on brands and €10 million on management contracts),
    1. €21 million related to Hotel Assets & others on the room distribution and management of hotel common areas activity and on hotel assets in Australia.
  • Conversely, assuming a return to cash flows equivalent to those of 2019 in 2022, the amount of impairment losses recognized would have been reduced by €45 million, of which €27 million on brands, €5 million on management contracts and €13 million on the room distribution and management of hotel common areas activity and hotel assets in Australia.

Besides, in order for recoverable values to become equal to the carrying amounts, the main financial assumptions used at June 30, 2020 should be modified as follows (in number of basis points):
