of GBP3m from the disposal of two Australian hotels that were owned

* Like-for-like comparisons exclude the impact of acquisitions,
closures and refurbishments; and they are stated in constant
currency terms.
-- In reported currency, Group RevPAR for the nine months of
2018 decreased by 3.8% to GBP79.26 (2017: GBP82.41). In constant
currency, it fell by just 0.4% mainly reflecting a stronger pound
sterling against the Group's main trading currencies.
-- Like-for-like* Group RevPAR for the nine months of 2018
increased by 1.5%. Like-for-like comparison excludes the Mayfair
hotel which was impacted by its closure in July this year, the
Millennium New Plymouth New Zealand which was acquired in March
this year, and M Social Auckland which was re-opened in October
2017.
-- In constant currency, hotel revenue for the nine months of
2018 was flat. Reported hotel revenue was down by GBP22m or 3.4%,
reflecting the stronger pound.
-- Reported total revenue for the first nine months of 2018 fell
by GBP18m or 2.4% to GBP730m (2017: GBP748m). The impact from the
strengthening of the pound sterling was GBP26m. In constant
currency, total revenue for the period increased by GBP8m or
1.1%.
-- In reported currency, pre-tax profit for the nine months of
2018 decreased by GBP19m to GBP99m (2017: GBP118m). In constant
currency, pre-tax profit for the period decreased by GBP15m (2017:
GBP114m). As previously disclosed, the closure of the Mayfair hotel
resulted in the reduction of the Group's revenue and a commensurate
reduction in profit. The Group continued to incur certain fixed
costs at the Mayfair hotel. In addition, the Group saw an increase
in its operating costs mainly due to payroll expenditure.
-- In Q3 2018, Group RevPAR fell by 2.8% in reported currency
and down by 1.6% in constant currency. Like-for-like* Group RevPAR
increased slightly by 0.6%. Excluding Mayfair, RevPAR for London
was up by 5.6%. RevPAR for Australasia was up by 2.9%. RevPAR for
New York and Singapore were flat.
-- For the first 21 days of October 2018, like-for-like Group RevPAR was up by 7.3%.
Mr Kwek Leng Beng, Chairman commented:
"The Group experienced mixed trading results for the first nine
months of the year, with hotel revenues flat for the period on a
like-for-like basis and lower profit due to continuing cost
pressures.
The hospitality sector is facing challenging trading conditions,
including significant supply growth, technological "disruption",
industry consolidation and rising minimum wage requirements and
labour costs in key jurisdictions. These challenges, which are
impacting the availability of talent and reducing margins, are
exacerbated by geopolitical headwinds, such as the uncertainty
surrounding Brexit and global trade tensions.
The Group will address these issues through product innovation,
tighter cost control and by flattening the management structure to
enhance our competitiveness. The Group also continues to focus on
delivering value from significant capital expenditure projects in
addition to the repositioning of the Mayfair property as a 5-star
deluxe hotel and the development of our new hotel and residential
apartment complex in Sunnyvale California, which broke ground in
October 2018.
After the departure of the last Group Chief Executive Officer in
September, Tan Kian Seng has been reappointed as the interim Group
Chief Executive Officer. The Board is confident that Mr Tan will
provide stability during the transition with his experience and
knowledge accumulated over the past two years as interim Group CEO,
Group Chief of Staff and President of Asia. Mr Tan, a chartered
accountant with more than 30 years of business experience, had been
CFO and President of one of the largest electronic manufacturing
companies listed on the Singapore stock exchange. His overall
management skills and strong financial background will contribute
positively to the Group. The Board will take time to consider and
search carefully for the next Group CEO, who must not only have
relevant experience, but must also embrace and drive forward the
Group's business model as a niche owner-operator."

In constant currency, hotel revenue for the first nine months of
2018 was flat compared to the same period last year. Higher
contributions from Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza
(re-branded in August 2017) and M Social Auckland (opened in
October 2017); were partially offset by the closure of the Mayfair
hotel due to refurbishment. In reported currency, hotel revenue for
the nine months of 2018 decreased by GBP22m or 3.4% reflecting a
stronger pound sterling against the Group's main trading
currencies.
Revenues from property sector and CDL Hospitality Trusts
("CDLHT") increased by GBP7m and GBP1m respectively compared to the
first nine months of 2017.
Central costs for the nine months of 2018 increased by GBP5m or
20% to GBP30m (2017: GBP25m) due mainly to higher payroll related
costs.

the disposal of two Australian hotels that were owned by CDLHT.
During the same period last year, pre-tax profit included reversal
of loan impairment of GBP12m and impairment of assets of GBP9m,
