Richard Solomons, Chief Executive of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, said:
|
"We have delivered a solid set of results in the quarter with RevPAR growth across all regions and outperformance in key markets such as the US and Greater China. Our preferred brands have driven good underlying revenue growth despite a number of industry wide issues such as the timing of holidays, slowing economic growth in certain markets and the political leadership change in China.
We continue to build a strong foundation for future growth, with a good pace of signings and openings, and we are on track to meet our full year net system growth guidance. Our new brands are gaining traction, with the first signing for EVEN Hotels in New York City in October and 12 signings for HUALUXE Hotels & Resorts year to date.
The global economic environment remains challenging. However, our forward bookings remain encouraging and we are confident that IHG is well positioned to continue to outperform based on the considerable strengths of the business and our focused strategy for high quality growth."

Americas - Good growth in franchise royalties
|
RevPAR increased 4.6%, with 4.0% rate growth. US RevPAR was up 4.6% in the third quarter, with 4.0% rate growth. On a total basis including the benefit of new hotels, US RevPAR grew 5.7% in the third quarter, ahead of the industry up 5.1%. Softer performance in July and September reflects the shift in timing of certain holidays.
Revenue increased 2% to $226m and operating profit increased 10% to $138m. After adjusting for owned hotel disposals in 2011 and the results from managed lease hotels6, revenue was up 6% and operating profit up 11%. This was driven by good RevPAR growth across the region, resulting in a 7% increase in franchise royalties, and a $1m increase in fees associated with the initial franchising, relicensing and termination of hotels.
We signed 5,513 rooms (52 hotels) and opened 4,323 rooms (39 hotels) into the system in the quarter. Openings included 3 Crowne Plaza hotels, 7 hotels for our extended stay brands, Candlewood Suites and Staybridge Suites, and 3 Hotel Indigo hotels. Signings included 43 hotels for the Holiday Inn brand family, with 2 Holiday Inn Club Vacation resorts in the US, 2 Holiday Inn hotels in Colombia and the first Holiday Inn Express hotel in the Bahamas.
|
Europe - Strong profit growth driven by owned hotels
|
RevPAR increased 2.0%, with 2.4% rate growth despite continued uncertainty in macro economic conditions across Europe. 3.9% RevPAR growth in the UK reflected stronger trading during the Olympic and Paralympic games with weaker performance in the periods before and after as expected. 8.8% RevPAR growth in Germany reflects good rate growth due to the favourable trade fair calendar and 2.0% RevPAR growth in France was driven by continued strength in Paris, offset by declines in the provinces.
Revenue increased 2% (8% at CER) to $112m and operating profit increased 21% (31% at CER) to $35m. At CER and after adjusting for a leased hotel disposal and excluding results from managed lease hotels6, revenue increased 6% and operating profit increased 22%. This was driven by 9.1% RevPAR growth at the owned hotels and a $2m decrease in regional overheads ($1m as reported).
We signed 1,171 rooms (11 hotels) in the quarter including Holiday Inn hotels for Georgia and Italy. The expansion of the Hotel Indigo brand continues with 3 hotels (246 rooms) signed across Spain, Germany and France. 924 rooms (6 hotels) were opened into the system, all for the Holiday Inn Brand Family, including 2 Holiday Inn hotels in London and 2 Holiday Inn Express hotels in the UK regions.
|
AMEA - Underlying profit growth
|
RevPAR increased 2.9%, with 1.1% rate growth. Trading conditions remain mixed with strong trading in South East Asia offset by tougher comparatives in Japan, slowing economic growth in some markets and the continued impact from political unrest in some countries in the Middle East.
AMEA revenue decreased 14% (14% at CER) to $51m and operating profit decreased 20% (24% at CER) to $20m. At CER and after adjusting for a $6m liquidated damages receipt in Q3 2011 and the disposal in Q3 2011 of a hotel asset and partnership interest that contributed $1m to profits in Q3 2011, operating profit increased 6%.
We signed 1,373 rooms (6 hotels) in the quarter, including an InterContinental Hotel in the UAE and 2 Holiday Inn Express hotels in Indonesia. 652 rooms (2 hotels) were opened, including Bahrain's first Holiday Inn Express hotel in the capital city of Manama and Crowne Plaza Doha Airport; the first Crowne Plaza hotel to open in Qatar.
|
Greater China - Strong growth in revenue and operating profit
|
RevPAR increased 4.0%, with 3.8% rate growth. July and August RevPAR growth of 7% and 6% respectively was offset by a 0.9% decline in September. This was driven by several industry wide issues including lower demand ahead of both the Mid Autumn Festival and Golden Week holiday periods and the political leadership change, the China - Japan island territorial dispute and a broader economic slowdown across the region.
Revenue increased 15% (15% at CER) to $54m and operating profit increased 42% (33% at CER) to $17m. This was driven by 12.0% RevPAR growth at the InterContinental Hong Kong and $3m ($2m CER) growth in managed profits reflecting good RevPAR growth combined with 9% growth in managed rooms.
We opened 2,704 rooms (9 hotels) in the quarter, including 3 Crowne Plaza hotels (1,089 rooms). Signings of 5,247 rooms (16 hotels) take our pipeline to 51,454 rooms (160 hotels), giving us a continued leading share of the active hotel pipeline in Greater China.
|
Interest, tax, cash flow and exceptional items
|
The interest charge for the period was $13m (Q3 2011: $15m) due to lower levels of net debt.
Based on the position at the end of the quarter, the tax charge has been calculated using an estimated annual tax rate of 27% (Q3 2011: 26%). The 2012 full year tax rate is now expected to be in the mid to high 20s, moving towards the low 30s in 2013. An exceptional tax credit of $59m relates to prior year matters settled, together with associated deferred tax amounts.
Net debt was $472m (including the $211m finance lease on the InterContinental Boston), down $172m on Q3 2011 and down $66m on the year end position, and does not reflect the $500m special dividend paid on 22 October 2012.
The provisional triennial actuarial valuation of the UK defined benefit plan as at 31 March 2012 indicates a deficit of £132m. In anticipation of the finalisation of the related Recovery Plan, a special contribution of £45m was paid to the plan on 23 October 2012.

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 2012, the amount contracted for but not provided for in the financial statements for expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was $31m (2011 31 December $14m, 30 September $22m). The Group has also committed to invest $60m in two investments accounted for under the equity method of which $37m had been spent at 30 September 2012.
At 30 September 2012, the Group had contingent liabilities of $1m (2011 31 December $8m, 30 September $5m).
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 $35m (2011 31 December $42m, 30 September $49m).
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 2012 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 15. 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 2012 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.
