PricewaterhouseCoopers, Chartered Accountants, except for the following changes in standards and interpretations which were adopted with effect from 1 July 2018: 1. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments under which the new impairment model requires the impairment provisions based on expected credit losses (ECL) rather than only incurred credit losses as was the case under IAS 39. This, however, has not resulted in any material impact on the reported financial position or results of the Group. 2. IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers, under which expected cash rebates payable to tour operators are accounted for as a reduction in revenue, as and when the performance obligation is satisfied. This has resulted in a 4% decrease in rooms’ revenues with a corresponding decrease in commission expense. The corresponding period of the prior year has been restated to enable meaningful comparison. 3. Prior year comparatives have also restated to take into account the change in effective tax rate from 15% to 17% resulting from the recognition of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a tax and the treatment of the sales and leaseback of the Invest Hotel Scheme (IHS) rooms at Long Beach as finance leases. This has resulted in a decrease in profit after tax of Rs 8 million. The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements. The Group’s principal activity is in the hospitality industry. Hence, performance is subject to seasonality and varies significantly from quarter to quarter. COMMENTS ON THE RESULTS Financial results Quarter Highlights The hospitality industry in Mauritius is faced with reduced demand with tourist arrivals over the quarter showing a decline of 4.5% in arrivals by air. In addition, the Rupee remained strong against our major trading currencies over the same quarter last year with a direct impact on our revenue base and yield. However, in Maldives, the industry is experiencing significant growth with tourist arrivals increasing by 15% compared to same period last year. Against the challenging environment locally, the Group experienced a difficult quarter with revenues at Rs 1.76 billion, 7% down against the previous year with the Mauritian resorts accounting mainly for this shortfall as Kanuhura in the Maldives improved its revenues by 11%. Group occupancy in Mauritius fell by 9 percentage points against same corresponding quarter last year to finish at 69.6%, in line with the industry trend while in the Maldives, Kanuhura, improved its occupancy by 15.7 percentage point over last year to finish at 63.8%. Our group ADR closed at Rs 11,329, down 2% for the same period last year, primarily due to the strong Rupee. Consequently, RevPAR receded by 11% against same quarter last year. Group EBITDA finished at Rs 427 million, impacted by the revenue shortfall and down by 22% compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The Group finished with a post-tax profit of Rs 135 million, which represents a decrease of Rs 114 million over the same quarter last year. 9 months Highlights Tourist arrivals in Mauritius for the 9 months to-date totalled 1,104,727 representing a 3% increase over the same period last year. Excluding arrivals by cruises, air arrivals showed a marginal increase at 1.2%. In the Maldives, arrivals for the period totalled 1,240,737, showing a 7.6% growth against same period last year. Group revenues of Rs 5.2 billion were almost flat against last year as the downward trend noted in the local industry since the end of last year has impacted the overall performance to-date. Group occupancy in Mauritius fell by 4.2 percentage points over same period last year to finish at 75.3%, though Kanuhura occupancy increased by 12.7 percentage point and RevPAR by 11% over the prior period. Overall Group occupancy finished at 73.9%, losing 3.4 percentage point against the corresponding period last year. The Group ADR at Rs 9,987, grew by 4% despite the negative impact of the Rupee exchange rate. Against this background, EBITDA finished at Rs 1.1 billion, 7% down against the previous period. Depreciation and amortisation charges were higher at Rs 425.7m, due to the higher asset base of the newly refurbished resorts and the revaluation done in the last financial year. The Group posted a post-tax profit of Rs 241 million, which represents a decrease of Rs 77 million against the corresponding period of last year. Outlook The continuing decline in tourist arrivals in Mauritius, from key markets, coupled with the strong Rupee exchange rate, is expected to negatively impact the Group’s results in the last quarter of the year. In the Maldives, the market conditions remain structurally challenging with a significant number of new resorts opening and thereby putting increased pressure on our ability to achieve our target room rates. This is affecting, as a direct consequence, the current and expected profitability levels of our Kanuhura Resort. In this persistently adverse environment, Management is currently conducting an impairment assessment of this existing asset .This could potentially have a material non-cash impact on the reported profit of the Group at the end of this financial year.

NOTES TO THE ABOVE:

The Group’s financial statements for the quarter ended 31 March 2019 have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods adopted in the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018, audited by Messrs. PricewaterhouseCoopers, Chartered Accountants, except for the following changes in standards and interpretations which were adopted with effect from 1 July 2018:

1. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments under which the new impairment model requires the impairment provisions based on expected credit losses (ECL) rather than only incurred credit losses as was the case under IAS 39. This, however, has not resulted in any material impact on the reported financial position or results of the Group.

2. IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers, under which expected cash rebates payable to tour operators are accounted for as a reduction in revenue, as and when the performance obligation is satisfied. This has resulted in a 4% decrease in rooms’ revenues with a corresponding decrease in commission expense. The corresponding period of the prior year has been restated to enable meaningful comparison.

3. Prior year comparatives have also restated to take into account the change in effective tax rate from 15% to 17% resulting from the recognition of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a tax and the treatment of the sales and leaseback of the Invest Hotel Scheme (IHS) rooms at Long Beach as finance leases. This has resulted in a decrease in profit after tax of Rs 8 million.

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements. The Group’s principal activity is in the hospitality industry. Hence, performance is subject to seasonality and varies significantly from quarter to quarter.

COMMENTS ON THE RESULTS

Financial results

Quarter Highlights The hospitality industry in Mauritius is faced with reduced demand with tourist arrivals over the quarter showing a decline of 4.5% in arrivals by air. In addition, the Rupee remained strong against our major trading currencies over the same quarter last year with a direct impact on our revenue base and yield. However, in Maldives, the industry is experiencing significant growth with tourist arrivals increasing by 15% compared to same period last year.

Against the challenging environment locally, the Group experienced a difficult quarter with revenues at Rs 1.76 billion, 7% down against the previous year with the Mauritian resorts accounting mainly for this shortfall as Kanuhura in the Maldives improved its revenues by 11%. Group occupancy in Mauritius fell by 9 percentage points against same corresponding quarter last year to finish at 69.6%, in line with the industry trend while in the Maldives, Kanuhura, improved its occupancy by 15.7 percentage point over last year to finish at 63.8%. Our group ADR closed at Rs 11,329, down 2% for the same period last year, primarily due to the strong Rupee. Consequently, RevPAR receded by 11% against same quarter last year.

Group EBITDA finished at Rs 427 million, impacted by the revenue shortfall and down by 22% compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The Group finished with a post-tax profit of Rs 135 million, which represents a decrease of Rs 114 million over the same quarter last year.

9 months Highlights Tourist arrivals in Mauritius for the 9 months to-date totalled 1,104,727 representing a 3% increase over the same period last year. Excluding arrivals by cruises, air arrivals showed a marginal increase at 1.2%. In the Maldives, arrivals for the period totalled 1,240,737, showing a 7.6% growth against same period last year.

Group revenues of Rs 5.2 billion were almost flat against last year as the downward trend noted in the local industry since the end of last year has impacted the overall performance to-date. Group occupancy in Mauritius fell by 4.2 percentage points over same period last year to finish at 75.3%, though Kanuhura occupancy increased by 12.7 percentage point and RevPAR by 11% over the prior period. Overall Group occupancy finished at 73.9%, losing 3.4 percentage point against the corresponding period last year. The Group ADR at Rs 9,987, grew by 4% despite the negative impact of the Rupee exchange rate.

Against this background, EBITDA finished at Rs 1.1 billion, 7% down against the previous period. Depreciation and amortisation charges were higher at Rs 425.7m, due to the higher asset base of the newly refurbished resorts and the revaluation done in the last financial year. The Group posted a post-tax profit of Rs 241 million, which represents a decrease of Rs 77 million against the corresponding period of last year.

Outlook The continuing decline in tourist arrivals in Mauritius, from key markets, coupled with the strong Rupee exchange rate, is expected to negatively impact the Group’s results in the last quarter of the year. In the Maldives, the market conditions remain structurally challenging with a significant number of new resorts opening and thereby putting increased pressure on our ability to achieve our target room rates. This is affecting, as a direct consequence, the current and expected profitability levels of our Kanuhura Resort. In this persistently adverse environment, Management is currently conducting an impairment assessment of this existing asset .This could potentially have a material non-cash impact on the reported profit of the Group at the end of this financial year.
