Comments from the CEO

Continued progress despite turbulent markets

"I am pleased to report a like-for-like RevPAR increase of 3.5% for the third quarter of 2014. The RevPAR growth in the quarter was a result from increased room rates and occupancy. Revenue grew by MEUR 13.4 (5.9%) over last year. In addition to the RevPAR growth, the increase in revenue was mainly related to the conversion of two hotels in Copenhagen from management contracts to leases at the beginning of the year.

Steady progress continues to be made on key strategic initiatives. Rezidor continues to grow on an asset light basis, signing over 1,300 rooms in the quarter. The pipeline of projects has over 19,000 rooms over a broad geographic area.

Both profits and margin performance showed improved results. Despite the current challenges in some of the Emerging Markets, the company generated higher profits from these markets in Q3 this year than during the same period last year. The improvement is a result of growth of the portfolio and our asset light business model. Furthermore, the EBITDA margin in the quarter reached 11% for the first time in a third quarter since 2007.
