Richard Solomons, Chief Executive of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, said:
|
"2012 was another year of significant progress for IHG with our preferred brands driving RevPAR up 5.2%, led by the US up 6.3%. Together with 2.7% net rooms growth, which is fuelled increasingly by our expansion in developing markets, this drove up fee revenues by an impressive 6.8%. This growing scale allowed us to reinvest in the business while achieving better than anticipated margin progression.
The financing environment remained tough through 2012 in many of our key markets, but we still signed on average one hotel a day into our pipeline. This reflects the excellent relationship we enjoy with our owners and further strengthens our foundation for high quality growth. We extended our portfolio of preferred brands, launching in the first quarter of 2012 the innovative HUALUXE Hotels & Resorts and EVEN Hotels.
The $1bn return of capital, announced in August, underlines the benefit of our asset light strategy in delivering strong free cash flow, and our commitment to return value to shareholders.
IHG's proven strategy and resilient business model position us for further good performance in 2013, despite the challenging economic environment. The 16% increase in our dividend demonstrates the confidence we have in our ability to deliver sustained high quality growth, as we prepare to celebrate our 10th anniversary as a standalone business."

Americas - Double-digit adjusted profit growth driven by RevPAR outperformance
|
RevPAR increased 6.1%, with 4.1% rate growth, and fourth quarter RevPAR increased 5.7%. US RevPAR was up 6.3% in 2012, with 6.2% growth in the fourth quarter, despite uncertainty regarding the presidential election and "fiscal cliff". On a total basis, including the benefit of new hotels, US RevPAR grew 7.0% in the year, outperforming the industry6, which was up 6.8%.
Revenue increased 1% to $837m and operating profit increased 8% to $486m. After adjusting for owned hotel disposals, liquidated damages receipts in the managed business of $3m in 2012 and $10m in 2011 and results from managed lease hotels5, revenue was up 6% and operating profit up 10%. This was predominantly driven by the franchise business, where royalties were up 9% due to 6.0% RevPAR growth and 2.3% net system size growth. Owned profits increased 41%, driven by double digit RevPAR growth at our InterContinental hotels in Boston and San Francisco and 4% RevPAR growth at InterContinental New York Barclay.
We opened 17k rooms, up 8% on 2011 on an underlying5 basis, including 6 Hotel Indigo hotels, and IHG's second InterContinental hotel in Mexico City. We signed 26k rooms, with the first EVEN hotel, a flagship property in Manhattan, New York City, signed in October. The Holiday Inn brand family accounted for c.70% of hotel openings and signings in the year, demonstrating the ongoing benefits of the re-launch.
|
Europe - Robust performance and strong pace of openings
|
RevPAR increased 1.7%, with 1.2% rate growth and fourth quarter RevPAR increased 1.2%. Despite challenging economic conditions across Europe, RevPAR during the year grew by 2.5% in the UK and by 5.4% in Germany, where the industry benefited from a busy trade fair schedule.
Revenue increased 8% (13% at CER) to $436m and operating profit increased 11% (16% at CER) to $115m. At CER and after adjusting for a leased hotel disposal and excluding results from managed lease hotels5, revenue increased 5% and operating profit increased 16%. This was driven by a 2.1% increase in net system size and solid RevPAR growth, including 8.0% at InterContinental London Park Lane and 2.5% at InterContinental Le Grand Paris, plus a $4m decrease in regional overheads.
We signed 7k rooms (48 hotels), up 22% on 2011, including the first 2 Holiday Inn Express hotels in Russia, 6 Holiday Inn brand family hotels in Germany and 7 Hotel Indigo hotels, with firsts for this brand in France, Israel and Spain. 5k rooms (39 hotels) were opened into the system, the highest number of hotel openings in the region in the last 4 years. Openings included InterContinental London Westminster, our second for the brand in London, and 5 Hotel Indigo hotels, doubling the system size in Europe for the brand.
|
AMEA - RevPAR growth and cost control drive good profit growth
|
RevPAR increased 4.9%, with 1.8% growth in the fourth quarter. Strong trading in South East Asia and Japan was offset by slowing economic growth in some other markets in 2012. In the Middle East, political tensions continue to impact trading in some countries such as Lebanon, but markets such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE have performed well, with RevPAR up 8.0% and 5.5% in the year, respectively.
AMEA revenue increased 1% (0% CER) to $218m and operating profit increased 5% (4% CER) to $88m. At CER and after adjusting for a $6m liquidated damages receipt and the related disposal in 2011 of a hotel and partnership interest in Australia, revenue increased 3% and operating profit increased 16%, benefiting from robust trading in the managed business and careful cost control.
We signed 8k rooms (36 hotels) in the region, of which 4k were Holiday Inn brand family rooms signed in India and Indonesia. We also signed 6 InterContinental hotels, including 2 resort locations in Australia and Thailand. We opened 4k rooms (16 hotels) in the year, including 4 Crowne Plaza hotels, 2 Crowne Plaza Resorts and the first Holiday Inn Express in India, in Ahmedabad. This hotel was opened by IHG and Duet India Hotels Group, and was awarded '2012 World's Leading New Mid-Market Hotel' by World Travel Awards.
|
Greater China - Increasing scale drives another year of double-digit profit growth
|
|
RevPAR increased 5.4% with rate growth of 3.1%. RevPAR was down 0.3% in the fourth quarter reflecting the ongoing industry-wide impact of the China-Japan territorial island dispute, the political leadership change and the broader economic slowdown across the region.
Revenue increased 12% (12% CER) to $230m, with fee growth5 of 16%, and operating profit was up 21% (22% CER) to $81m. This was driven by 19% profit growth in the managed business where RevPAR was up 5.6% and net rooms up 10% (following 14% rooms growth in 2011). InterContinental Hong Kong also had a strong year with 6.7% RevPAR growth and good cost control, driving owned operating profit up 22%.
We opened 8k rooms in the year, taking our system size in the region up 12% to 62k, our 7th consecutive year of double digit room growth. Openings included 8 Crowne Plaza hotels, 2 Hotel Indigo hotels and Holiday Inn Macau Cotai Central, which at 1,224 rooms is the largest Holiday Inn in the world. Signings of 13k rooms were up 11% on 2011, taking our pipeline to 51k rooms and affirming our market leading position. Signings included 15 HUALUXE hotels.

Uses of Cash
|
|
•
|
Cash generation: Free cash flow of $463m (2011: $422m) plus $8m cash proceeds from disposals, more than covered growth investment and ordinary dividends in the year.
|
•
|
Growth Investment: 2012 growth capital expenditure of $20m reflects the unpredictable timing of this type of spend. $113m maintenance capital expenditure. 2013 expectations unchanged: $100m-$200m growth capital expenditure and c.$150m maintenance capital expenditure.
|
•
|
Ordinary dividend: up 16%, the third consecutive year of double-digit growth.
|
•
|
Capital returns: $0.5bn special dividend paid in October 2012. $107m of $0.5bn share buyback programme completed in the fourth quarter.
|
Interest, debt, tax and exceptional items
|
|
•
|
Interest: 2012 charge of $54m (2011: $62m), decreased by $8m primarily due to lower average net debt levels.
|
•
|
Net debt: $1,074m at the end of the period, up $536m on 2011 including the payment of $612m in relation to the special dividend and share buyback programme. IHG has extended its maturities and diversified its debt profile, issuing a 10 year £400m bond in the fourth quarter.
|
•
|
Tax: Effective rate for 2012 is 27% (2011: 24%). 2013 tax rate expected to be in low 30s, as previously guided.
|
•
|
Exceptional operating items: Net exceptional charge before tax of $4m (2011: $35m net credit). An exceptional tax credit of $142m relates to the settlement of prior year matters and changes in legislation resulting in the recognition of deferred tax assets.
|
•
|
Pension: IHG has agreed with the Trustees of the UK defined benefit pension plan to make additional contributions of £30m in 2013 and £15m in 2014, in addition to the £45m which was announced at Q3 results and paid in October 2012. This follows the triennial actuarial valuation as at 31 March 2012 which showed a deficit of £132m.
|
Change from Quarterly to Half Yearly Reporting
|
|
•
|
IHG will release interim management statements for Q1 and Q3, and in line with wider UK market practice, focus on reporting full financial statements for a more meaningful time period of 6 months.
|
•
|
We will continue to publish supplementary data for rooms and RevPAR for Q1 and Q3, and hold a conference call with Q&A session.

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements:
This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements as defined under US law (Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

Forward-looking statements often use words such as 'anticipate', 'target', 'expect', 'estimate', 'intend', 'plan', 'goal', 'believe' or other words of similar meaning. By their nature, forward-looking statements are inherently predictive, speculative and involve risk and uncertainty. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by, such forward-looking statements.

Earnings per ordinary share
|
Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the profit for the year available for IHG equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, excluding investment in own shares, in issue during the year.
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 year.
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 31 December 2012, the amount contracted for but not provided for in the financial statements for expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was $81m (2011 $14m). The Group has also committed to invest up to $60m in two investments accounted for under the equity method of which $37m had been spent at 31 December 2012.
At 31 December 2012, the Group had contingent liabilities of $1m (2011 $8m).
In limited cases, the Group may provide performance guarantees to third-party hotel owners to secure management contracts. The maximum unprovided exposure under such guarantees is $50m (2011 $42m).
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. In particular, the Group is currently subject to an Office of Fair Trading enquiry in the UK and class action law suits in the US. 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, it is not possible to quantify any loss to which these proceedings or claims under these warranties may give rise, however, as at the date of reporting, the Group does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material effect on the Group's financial position.
