Richard Solomons, Chief Executive of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, said:
|
"In the third quarter we delivered a strong set of results, with global revenue per available room (RevPAR) up 6.4%, including 2.8% rate growth. This was led by 10.8% RevPAR growth in Greater China and 8.0% in the US where we continued to outperform the industry driven by sustained results from the Holiday Inn relaunch. We are now rolling out a multi-year programme to reposition and drive stronger performance from our Crowne Plaza brand.
"We are focused on supporting our owners by driving demand to their hotels through the most profitable channels. Our innovations in this area continue to lead the industry and we recently introduced our Best Price Guarantee, designed to drive more guests to book through our direct websites.
"We have established firm foundations for high quality growth which we will deliver through driving market share, growing margins and investing behind the growth of our brands and our people. The economic environment continues to be uncertain, but we remain confident in our future due to our resilient business model, robust balance sheet and powerful brand portfolio, combined with low medium term supply growth in many markets."

Regional Highlights
|
Americas - Strong brands drive industry outperformance
|
RevPAR increased 7.6%, including rate growth of 3.2%. US RevPAR was up 8.0%, including rate growth of 3.4%. On a total basis including the benefit of new hotels, US RevPAR grew 9.5%, outperforming the industry up 7.9%.
Revenue increased 3% to $222m and operating profit increased 20% to $126m. After adjusting for owned hotel disposals and excluding the impact of a $4m benefit year on year from the conclusion of a specific guarantee negotiation relating to one hotel, revenue was up 5% and operating profit up 16%. This was driven by 9.7% owned hotel RevPAR growth and a 7% increase in franchise royalty fees.
We signed 11,200 rooms (73 hotels) in the quarter and opened 8,003 rooms (54 hotels) into the system, both of which include 4,796 rooms (25 hotels) managed on US army bases. Two additional Holiday Inn Club Vacations hotels (694 rooms) were signed up, which will take the total number of properties operating under the timeshare alliance brand to eight (3,586 rooms). Openings include two Holiday Inn hotels in Colombia, marking a strong entry for the brand into that country.
|
EMEA - Successfully growing our brands in new markets
|
RevPAR increased 3.6%, including rate growth of 2.8%. RevPAR grew 4.5% excluding Egypt (10 hotels) and Bahrain (2 hotels) where the political unrest continued to result in significant declines. RevPAR grew in other Middle East markets, including 10.9% in Saudi Arabia and 9.7% in the United Arab Emirates.
Revenue increased 22% (17% at CER) to $128m and operating profit was in line with the prior year at $35m (down 3% at CER). After adjusting for properties that are structured for legal reasons as operating leases but with the same characteristics as management contracts, revenue increased 9% and operating profit was flat. This was driven by strong growth in the owned business where RevPAR was up 10.0% and a $2m increase in franchise royalties as a result of 3.8% RevPAR growth and a 4% increase in year on year room count. Managed profits were adversely impacted by $1.5m as a result of the unrest in the Middle East.
We signed 1,601 rooms (11 hotels) in the quarter, including the first Hotel Indigo for Russia, in St Petersburg. 1,072 rooms (10 hotels) were opened into the system, including the InterContinental Porto, the first for the brand in Portugal.
|
Asia Pacific - RevPAR and rooms growth drives a 20% profit increase
|
RevPAR increased 5.7%, including rate growth of 2.0%. Excluding Japan (32 hotels) where the earthquake and resultant events negatively impacted growth, RevPAR grew 8.6%. Greater China continues to be our strongest market with RevPAR up 10.8%, including rate growth of 4.9%.
Revenue increased 19% (12% at CER) to $88m and operating profit increased 55% (45% at CER) to $31m. After adjusting for a $6m liquidated damages receipt, revenue increased 11% (4% at CER) and operating profit increased 25% (15% at CER). This was driven by strong RevPAR growth and an 8% increase in year on year room count, led by Greater China, up 14%. Excluding the $6m liquidated damages receipt, managed operating profit grew 20% (10% at CER). The natural disasters in Japan and New Zealand had a $0.5m negative impact in the quarter.
We signed 5,927 rooms (18 hotels) in the quarter including a 1,224 room Holiday Inn in Macau, and the fourth hotel development for the Holiday Inn Express brand in Thailand, located along Patong Beach in Phuket. 3,870 rooms (11 hotels) were opened into the system, including a second Holiday Inn resort in Phuket. IHG now has 11 hotels open in Thailand with a further 10 in the development pipeline.
|
Interest, tax, exceptional items, dividend and net debt
|
The interest charge for the period was $15m (Q3 2010: $16m). The tax charge has been calculated using an estimated annual tax rate of 26% (Q3 2010: 26%). A $17m net exceptional tax credit relates to a reduction in the estimated tax impact of a prior year corporate restructuring, partially offset by current year items.
Exceptional operating credits comprise (i) $28m relating to the closure of the UK defined benefit pension scheme with effect from 1 July 2013 and (ii) $28m gain on sale of a hotel and related investment in Australia.
Net debt was $644m (including the $208m finance lease on the InterContinental Boston), down $157m on Q3 2010 and down $99m on the position at year end.
The Group refinanced its bank debt after the quarter end, putting in place a 5 year $1.07 billion facility providing certainty of funding until November 2016.

Earnings per ordinary share
|
Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period available for IHG equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, excluding investment in own shares, in issue during the period.
Diluted earnings per ordinary share is calculated by adjusting basic earnings per ordinary share to reflect the notional exercise of the weighted average number of dilutive ordinary share options outstanding during the period.
Adjusted earnings per ordinary share is disclosed in order to show performance undistorted by exceptional items, to give a more meaningful comparison of the Group's performance.

Commitments and contingencies
|
At 30 September 2011, the amount contracted for but not provided for in the financial statements for expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was $22m (2010 31 December $14m, 30 September $10m). The Group has also committed to invest $60m in two joint ventures of which $34m had been spent at 30 September 2011.
At 30 September 2011, the Group had contingent liabilities of $5m (2010 31 December $8m, 30 September $10m).
In limited cases, the Group may provide performance guarantees to third-party owners to secure management contracts. The maximum unprovided exposure under such guarantees is $49m (2010 31 December $90m, 30 September $95m).
From time to time, the Group is subject to legal proceedings the ultimate outcome of each being always subject to many uncertainties inherent in litigation. The Group has also given warranties in respect of the disposal of certain of its former subsidiaries. It is the view of the Directors that, other than to the extent that liabilities have been provided for in these financial statements, such legal proceedings and warranties are not expected to result in material financial loss to the Group.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS GROUP PLC
|
|
Introduction
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three and nine months ended 30 September 2011 which comprises the Group income statement, Group statement of comprehensive income, Group statement of changes in equity, Group statement of financial position, Group statement of cash flows and the related notes 1 to 14. We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' Responsibilities
The interim financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three and nine months ended 30 September 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.
