            with underlying losses reducing significantly

MANDARIN ORIENTAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

HALF-YEAR RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30TH JUNE 2022

OVERVIEW

In 2022, the business returned to EBITDA profitability in the first half, with underlying losses reducing significantly. The business benefitted from increased leisure travel in most parts of the world, and the management business in particular continued its strong progress with increased revenues. The Group continues to add management contracts for brand-enhancing properties to grow the portfolio further.

HOTEL PERFORMANCE

In Europe, the Middle East and Africa ('EMEA') and America, where pandemic restrictions have largely relaxed, the Group benefitted from strong leisure demand, with rates at or above pre-pandemic levels and improving occupancy levels. In Asia, demand in China remained impacted by government restrictions to contain outbreaks of COVID-19. In other Asian markets however, pandemic restrictions have slowly eased, allowing a gradual recovery in occupancy levels.

The combined total revenue of hotels under management increased by 78% in the first half of 2022, compared to the equivalent period in 2021.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ('EBITDA') for the first half of 2022 were US$28 million, a significant improvement compared to EBITDA losses of US$17 million in the first half of 2021. Results benefitted from increased business levels in EMEA and America, where travel restrictions have been lifted. In addition, the management business showed improved profitability in the period, due to increased management fees in line with higher total revenues, as well as cost control.

Underlying losses for the period were US$21 million, a 69% improvement compared t o US$67 million for the first half of 2021. The valuation of the Causeway Bay site under development remained broadly in line with the valuation at 31st December 2021, resulting in a non-trading gain of US$3 million. Total losses attributable to shareholders were US$18 million in the first half, compared to US$156 million in the same period in 2021.

At 30th June 2022, net debt was US$519 million, broadly in line with US$517 million at the end of 2021. The Group remains well funded, with headroom of US$488 million in its available cash and committed facilities. The Group's gearing as a percentage of adjusted shareholders' funds was 11%, taking into account the market value of the Group's properties.

No interim dividend will be paid in respect of 2022 first-half results.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

Four new management contracts were announced in the first half of the year: Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino - the Group's first property in Greece; Mandarin Oriental Shepheard, Cairo - a comprehensive renovation of the historic Shepheard Hotel in Egypt; Mandarin Oriental, Cristallo, Cortina - the Group's first alpine resort; and a new resort on a private island in the Maldives.

Our pipeline remains robust, with 25 projects to open in the next five years, comprising 11 standalone hotel projects, 11 projects with hotel and residences components and three standalone residences projects.

In the second half of 2022, we expect to open a new hotel in Lucerne and two standalone residences projects in Barcelona and Beverly Hills.

On 19th July 2022, the Group announced the sale of Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C. for US$139 million, and the hotel will cease to be operated by Mandarin Oriental on 8th September 2022. The Group's portfolio has developed significantly over recent years, with many new, unique properties across the world that are more in line with our long-term vision for the brand than this property. With strong interest from investors, the time was right to sell this property.

OUTLOOK

Luxury hospitality trading conditions continue to improve in most markets and, despite continuing constraints on travel in China and Japan, the Group expects to see improved results in the second half and will continue to benefit from its robust pipeline and opening of new properties and residences. The Board remains confident that the strength of the Mandarin Oriental brand will underpin the long-term success of the Group in the future.

Mandarin Oriental International Limited 
 Notes to Condensed Financial Statements 
 
 
   1.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION 

(a) Going Concern

The Group's operations and financial performance have been severely impacted by the unprecedented decline in both international and domestic travel since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Prior to the pandemic the Group had significant headroom in its committed debt facilities and cash balances available to finance operating losses. This has increased with new debt facilities in February 2021.

Operating conditions continued to improve in most markets in the first half of 2022 as COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed, leading to improved operating profitability and a reduction in underlying losses. Challenges remain, however, in China, particularly Hong Kong, and Japan, where restrictions continue to hamper our operations. A return of profitability to pre-pandemic levels by the Group will be dependent on the extent of travel restrictions that are maintained by governments .

In the first half of 2022, the Group recorded a total cash inflow from operating activities of US$10 million, a significant improvement from a total cash outflow from operating activities of US$23 million in the first half of 2021 .

The Group's balance sheet is underpinned by equity interests in a number of prime hotel properties which are carried on the Group's balance sheet at historical cost less depreciation. Taking into account the market value of the Group's property interests, the adjusted shareholders' funds were US$4.9 billion at 30th June 2022.

At 30th June 2022, the Group had total liquidity of US$488 million, comprising US$309 million of undrawn committed facilities and US$179 million of cash balances. The Group's facilities are not subject to any cash flow covenants and had an average remaining tenor of 1.6 years. Overall, the Group's balance sheet position remains strong.

In adopting the going concern basis for preparing the condensed financial statements, the Directors have considered a downside cash flow forecast which assumes the flagship hotel of the Group in Hong Kong continues to operate at substantially reduced levels of business as a consequence of travel restrictions maintained by the government for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the condensed financial statements .

Having considered the outcome of the downside cash flow forecast, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group has sufficient financial resources to continue operating for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the condensed financial statements. Accordingly, the condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

(b) Basis of preparation

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and on a going concern basis. The condensed financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Group's auditors pursuant to the UK Auditing Practices Board guidance on the review of interim financial information.

There are no changes to the accounting policies as described in the 2021 annual financial statements and the Group has not early adopted any standard or amendments that have been issued but not yet effective.

   6.    LOSS PER SHARE 

Basic loss per share is calculated on loss attributable to shareholders of US$18.3 million (2021: US$155.9 million) and the weighted average number of 1,263.7 million (2021: 1,263.2 million) shares in issue during the period.

Diluted loss per share is calculated on loss attributable to shareholders of US$18.3 million (2021: US$155.9 million) and the weighted average number of 1,263.8 million (2021: 1,263.6 million) shares in issue after adjusting for the number of shares which are deemed to be issued for no consideration under the share-based long-term incentive plans based on the average share price during the period.

The weighted average number of shares is arrived at as follows:

Fair value estimation

(i) 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:

(a) 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.

(b) 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 2022 and the year ended 31st December 2021.

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2022 and 31st December 2021, by the levels in the fair value measurement hierarchy:

(ii) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

The fair values of current debtors, bank and cash balances, current creditors, current borrowings and current lease liabilities are assumed to approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

The fair values of long-term borrowings are based on market prices or are estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market interest rates. The fair values of non-current lease liabilities are estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market interest rates.
