Directors' report

The directors present their report together with the audited financial statements of IHI Magyarorszag Zrt. (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Mission and Strategy

The Company's mission is to maximise shareholders' wealth by owning and operating assets at the top end of the market within which it operates.

Principal activities

The Company operates the Corinthia Hotel Budapest, a landmark five-star deluxe hotel located in the heart of Budapest drawing on an unrivalled 112-year history of excellence and tradition. The Company also owns and operates the Royal Residence and the Royal Spa.

The Company's sole shareholder is International Hotel Investments p.l.c. (IHI p.l.c.), a company domiciled in Malta.

Review of business and future outlook

The results for the year are set out in the statement of comprehensive income on page 8 of the financial statements. The profit for the year of €3.5 million (2023: €1.25 million) will be added to the retained earnings.

Future developments

Following a strong recovery in 2024, during which the hotel achieved €26.9 million in revenue-marking a solid return toward pre-pandemic levels-we enter 2025 with a focus on resilience. Revenue is projected to grow further to €29.5 million, supported by disciplined cost management and improved margins.

Inflation is projected to ease to approximately 4% in 2025, providing some relief on the cost front. However, elevated interest rates, weakening HUF against major currencies, ongoing wage pressures from a competitive labour market, and volatility in global energy prices-exacerbated by continuing conflicts involving Russia and Israel-are expected to pose challenges. In addition, escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China may further disrupt global supply chains and drive uncertainty in energy markets, particularly around pricing and availability.

We remain focused on operational efficiency, aligning staffing levels with business volume, and adopting a strategic, opportunistic approach to energy procurement in order to mitigate cost pressures and support the hotel's financial performance. We will continue to emphasize operational discipline and adaptability.

Going concern

The Directors have reviewed the Company's and the IHI p.l.c. Group's operational and cash flow forecasts. Based on this review, after making enquiries, and in the light of the current financial position, the existing banking facilities and other funding arrangements, the Directors confirm, that they have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Equity

The statement of changes in equity is set out on page 10 of the financial statements.

In 2024, no dividend has been declared to the parent IHI p.l.c. and for the year 2023 it was also nil.

Independent auditor's report

To the Shareholders of IHI Magyarország Zrt.

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Our opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of IHI Hungary Magyarorszag Zrt. (the Company) as at 31 December 2024, and of the company's financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRSs') as adopted by the EU.

What we have audited

IHI Hungary Magyarorszag Zrt.'s financial statements, set out on pages 8 to 36 comprise:

  • · the statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2024;
  • · the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024;
  • · the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
  • · the statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
  • · the notes to the financial statements, comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements of the Accountancy Profession (Code of Ethics for Warrant Holders) Directive issued in terms of the Accountancy Profession Act (Cap. 281) that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Malta. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these Codes.

Independent auditor's report - continued

To the Shareholders of IHI Magyarország Zrt.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors' report (but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon).

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements

The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstated a guaran it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users, taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Independent auditor's report - continued

To the Shareholders of IHI Magyarország Zrt.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • · Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • · Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control.
  • · Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
  • · Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • · Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Independent auditor's report - continued

To the Shareholders of IHI Magyarország Zrt.

Other matter - use of this report

Our report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Company's shareholders as a body and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior written consent.

Notes to the financial statements

1. Nature of operations

The Company's main business is connected with the ownership of a hotel and adjacent apartments and spa in Budapest, Hungary.

2. General information

IHI Magyarország Zrt. (the 'Company'), is a limited liability company incorporated in Budapest, Hungary. The Company's registered address is Erzsebet krt. 43-49, 1073 Budapest, Hungary.

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

The financial statements are presented in thousands of Euro (€ 000) which is also the functional currency of the Company.

3. Summary of material accounting policies

This note provides a list of the material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

3.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU).

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets and financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), the land buildings class within property, plant and equipment and investment property - which are measured at fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs as adopted by the EU requires the use of certain accounting estimates. It also requires the directors to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies (see Note 4 - Critical accounting estimates, judgements and errors).

As at 31 December 2024, the Company reported a profit of €3.5 million (2023: €1.25 million) and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by €9.99 million). These accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue operational existence for the foreseable future. The validity of this assumption depends on the continued support given by the immediate parent company, International Hotel Investments p.l.c. and its shareholders. The directors have obtained assurances that the ultimate parent company will not call for payment of the amounts due before third party balances are settled and will continue to support financially the Company to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.

3. Summary of material accounting policies - continued

3.2 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2024

The following amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these amended standards:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
  • Amendment to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 Supplier Finance Arrangements

3.3 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective

Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published by the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements but are mandatory for accounting periods beginning 1 January 2024 and after. The Group and the Company has not early adopted these revisions to the requirements of IFRSs as adopted by the EU and the directors are of the opinion that there are no requirements that will have a possible significant impact on the Company's current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

3.4 Overall considerations

Going concern

Operating conditions continued to improve during 2024 as almost all operations recovered from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2024, the Group recorded an improved operating result before depreciation and fair value adjustments of €62.4 million, after one-off preopening costs of €6.1 million compared to €60.3 million the previous year. The Group is projecting that consolidated revenue levels will continue to improve during 2025 and beyond, as the hotels that opened towards the end of 2024 together with the new openings, come into play.

The Group's liquidity situation is being kept under constant review, particularly in view of increased interest costs and certain projects and commitments that the Group is currently engaged in.

At 31 December 2024, the Group had access to €180 million, comprising €101.4 million of undrawn committed facilities, €6.9 million of unutilised bank overdrafts and €71.7 million of cash balances. This liquidity position enables the Group to sustain its operations as well as meet its capital commitments. Overall, the Group's balance sheet position remains robust.

Accordingly, the Directors and senior management consider the going concern assumption in the preparation of the Group's financial statements as appropriate as at the date of authorisation for issue of the 2024 financial statements. In their view, as at that date, there were no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue operating as a going concern.

The board of directors and senior management remain vigilant on developments and will take appropriate measures as and when necessary to ensure the continued viability of the Group.

3. Summary of material accounting policies - continued

3.5 Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the Company using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates are recognised in income statement.

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction (not retranslated). Non-monetary tems measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

3.6 Revenue

Revenue includes revenue from accommodation, food and beverage services, and other ancillary services. The substantial majority of services are provided to customers during their stay at the hotel, and, depending on the type of booking, some services would generally be amalgamated into one 'contract' (for example, bed and breakfast).

Each of the services rendered is assessed to be a distinct performance obligation, and if applicable, the Company allocates the transaction price to each of the services rendered to the customer on a relative basis, based on their stand-alone selling price. Revenue from such operations is recognised over time since the customer benefits as the Company is performing; the majority of revenue relates to accommodation (i.e. the amount allocated to such performance obligation is recognised over the customer's stay at hotel).

3.7 Leases

The Company's lease accounting policy where the Company is the lessee is disclosed in Note 10.6.

3.8 Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin.

3.9 Property, plant and equipment

All property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at historical cost. Land and buildings are subsequently shown at fair value, based on periodic valuations by professional valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Valuations are carried out on a regular basis such that the carrying amount of property does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the end of the reporting period. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All other property, plant and equipment is subsequently stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the items. Borrowing costs which are incurred for the purpose of acquiring or constructing a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of its cost. Borrowing costs are capitalised while acquisition is actively underway. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is ceased once the asset is substantially complete and is suspended if the development of the asset is suspended.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

3. Summary of material accounting policies - continued

3.9 Property, plant and equipment - continued

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to other comprehensive income and shown as a revaluation reserve in shareholders' equity. However, the increase shall be recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in other comprehensive income and debited against the revaluation reserve; all other decreases are charged to profit or loss. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset (the depreciation charged to profit or loss) and depreciation based on the asset's original cost, net of any related deferred income taxes, is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost or revalued amounts of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Years
Freehold buildings 50
Plant and equipment 2-15
Furniture, fixture and fittings 3-10

Freehold land is not depreciated as it is deemed to have an indefinite life. Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated.

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable (refer to Note 3.11). An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Property, plant and equipment that suffered an impairment is reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss. When revalued assets are disposed of, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to the assets are transferred to retained earnings.

3.10 Impairment testing of property, plant and equipment

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.

Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's or cash-generating unti's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Cash flows and discount factors are determined individually for each cashgenerating unit and reflect their respective risk profiles.

3. Summary of material accounting policies - continued

3.10 Impairment testing of property, plant and equipment - continued

Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro-rata to the other assets in the cashgenerating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the cashgenerating unit's recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

3.11 Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred.

A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value plus transactions costs.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the statement of financial position at face value. In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

Financial liabilities

The Company recognises a financial liability in its statement of financial position when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company's financial liabilities, other than cial instruments, are classified as financial liabilities which are not at fair value through profit or loss (classified as 'Other liabilities') under IFRS 9. Financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss are recognised initially at fair value, being the fair value of consideration received, net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or the issue of the financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss would be initially recognised at fair value through profit or loss with transaction costs in profit or loss and would be subsequently measured at fair value. The Company derecognises a financial liability from its statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract or arrangement is discharged, is cancelled or expires.

3. Summary of material accounting policies - continued

3.12 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. The cost of inventories comprises the invoice value of goods and, in general, includes transport and handling costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

3.13 Income taxes

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

The deferred tax liability in relation to investment property that is measured at fair value is determined assuming the property will be recovered entirely through sale.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

3. Summary of material accounting policies - continued

3.14 Equity and reserves

Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

When share capital recognised as equity is purchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is net of any tax effects, and is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/from retained earnings.

The revaluation reserve within equity comprises gains and losses due to the revaluation of property, plant and equipment. Retained earnings include all current and prior period losses and retained profits.

3.15 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions for legal claims and other obligations are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events whose existence will be confirmed only by occurrence, or non-occurrence, of one or more uncertain future event not wholly within the control of the Company, or are present obligations that have arisen from past events but are not recognised because it is not probable that settlement will require the outflow of economic benefits, or because the amount of the obligations cannot be reliably measured. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the probability of settlement is remote.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal actual results. The estimates, assumptions and management judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

The fair value of property, plant and equipment is determined by using valuation techniques. Further details of the judgements and assumption made are disclosed in Note 10.

This Note highlights information about the fair value estimation of land and buildings, together with a sensitivity analysis of the effects of shifts in unobservable inputs used in determining these fair values.

In the opinion of the directors, the accounting estimates and judgements made in the course of preparing these financial statements are, with the exception of the fair valuation of property, not difficult, subjective or complex to a degree which would warrant their description as critical in terms of the requirements of IAS 1.

10.1 Fair valuation of property

The disclosure below, including the sensitivities to shifts in unobservable fair value inputs, reflects the events and circumstances existent as at 31 December 2024, and do not take into account the events after reporting period.

In 2024, the directors appointed independent professionally qualified property valuers having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and the necessary experience. In 2024, we recognised a negative valuation movement of €3 million (2023: €4.5 million).

The Company is required to analyse non-financial assets carried at fair value by level of the fair value hierarchy within which, the recurring fair value measurements are categorised in their entirety (Level 1, 2 or 3). The different levels of the fair value hierarchy have been defined as fair value measurements using:

  • · Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets (Level 1);
  • · Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2);
  • · Inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The Company's land and buildings, within property, plant and equipment, consists principally of hotel property that is owned and managed by companies forming part of the Corinthia Group.

The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy during the current and preceding financial years.

Valuation processes

Where management, through its assessment, concludes that the fair value of property differs materially from its carrying amount, an independent valuation report prepared by third party qualified valuers, is performed. This report is based on both:

  • · information provided by the Company which is derived from the Company's financial systems and is subject to the Company's overall control environment; and
  • · assumptions and valuation models used by the valuers, with assumptions being typically market related and based on professional judgement and market observation.

The information provided to the valuers, together with the assumptions and the valuation models used by the valuers, are reviewed by designated officers within the Company. This includes a review of fair value movements over the period.

Income capitalisation or discounted cash flow ('DCF') approach considers the free cash flows arising from the projected income streams expected to be derived from the operation of the property, discounted to present value using an estimate of the weighted average cost of capital that would be available to finance such an operation. The significant unobservable inputs utilised with this technique include:

10. Property, plant and equipment - continued

10.1 Fair valuation of property - continued

depreciation and fair
value gains/ (losses)
Operating results before based on projected income streams less operating expenditure necessary to operate
the property, but prior to depreciation and financing charges;
Growth rate based on management's estimated average growth of operating results before
depreciation and fair value gains/(losses) levels, mainly determined by projected
growth in income streams;
Discount rate reflecting the current market assessment of the uncertainty in the amount and timing
of projected cash flows. The discount rate reflects the estimated weighted average
cost of capital that would be available for financing such an operation. The discount
rate is based on an assumed debt to equity ratio; estimation of cost of equity is based
on risk free interest rates adjusted for country risk and equity risk premium adjusted
for entity-specific risk factor. Estimation of cost of debt is based on risk free interest
rates adjusted for country risk and assumed credit spread.
Capitalisation rate mainly a function of the WACC rate and taking into consideration the assumed
stabilised growth rate for the remaining life of the asset

The table below include information about fair value measurements of the hotel property (classified within property, plant and equipment) using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Following an independent valuation this year, the fair value of the hotel property has recorded a fair value decrease of €3.0 million, while in the year 2023, the fair value decrease was of €4.5 million.

In relation to the DCF approach, an increase in the projected level of operating results before depreciation and fair value and growth rate would result in an increased fair value of the property, whereas a higher discount rate would give rise to a lower fair value.

As at 31 December 2024, as evidenced in the tables above, a fair value loss was recognised in Corinthia Hotel Budapest.

A shift in discount rate of +/- 1% in 2024 (2023: +/- 1%) and in operating results before depreciation and fair value by 5% for 2024 (2023: 5%) would result in a shift in property valuation of - €13.1 million and + € 17.1 million and +/- €5.6 million respectively (2023: - €12.9 million and + € 16.6 million and +/- €5.8 million).

10.3 Carrying amount of hotel property

Following adjustments to the hotel property carrying amount as referred to above at each reporting period, the carrying amount of the hotel property is €112.6 million (2023: €116.0 million).

10.4 Historic cost of hotel property

The carrying amounts of the land and buildings that would have been included in these financial statements had these assets been carried at cost less accumulated depreciation thereon would be €74.0 million (2023: €74.4 million).

10.5 Use as collateral

The hotel property is pledged as collateral against a bond issued by the parent company.

iii. The Company's leasing activities and how these are accounted for

The Company leases equipment, and motor vehicles. Contracts are made for periods up to 6 years and may include extension options as described further below.

Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Until 2018, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance leases or operating leases. From 1 January 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • · fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
  • · variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date:
  • amounts expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantees; and
  • · the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readly determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Company, the incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received, and for other items specific to the leased asset.

10. Property, plant and equipment - continued

10.6 Leases - continued

The Company is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the initial measurement of lease liability. Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying assets useful life. While the Company revalues its land and buildings that are presented within property, plant and equipment, it has chosen not to do so for the right-of-use buildings held by the Company.

The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:

The impairment loss in 2024 relates to specific provision for doubtful debtors that have been overdue for more than one year. Such balances were unsecured.

The provision accounts in respect of trade receivables are used impairment losses unless the Company deems that no recovery of the amount owing is possible; at that point, the amounts are considered irrecoverable and are written off against the financial asset directly. The Company's impairment model for trade receivables is disclosed in Note 24.1.

The carrying amount of trade and other receivables is considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value.

14.2 Shareholders rights

Shareholders are entitled to vote at shareholders' meetings of the Company on the basis of one vote for each share held. They are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time. The shares in issue shall, at all times, rank pari passy with respect to any distribution whether of dividends or capital, in a winding up or otherwise.

15. Revaluation reserve

In 2024, an impairment of €3.0 million, (2023: €4.5million) was accounted for in the statement of comprehensive income.

16. Retained earnings

The profit of €3.5 million has been transferred to retained earnings as set out in the statement of changes in equity for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: €1.25 million).

17. Capital management policies and procedures

The board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The board of directors monitors the return on capital, which the Company defines as the profit for the year divided by total equity.

The board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. The Company seeks to maximise the return on shareholders' equity and to reduce the incidence of interest expense.

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

24.1 Transactions with key management personnel

In addition to the remuneration paid to the directors, in the course of its operations, the Company has a number of arrangements in place with its officers, executives and other related parties whereby concessions are made available for hospitality services rendered to them according to accepted industry norms.

25. Risk management objectives and policies

The Company is exposed to various risks through its use of financial instruments. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, which result from both its operating activities. The Company's risk management is coordinated at its head office, in close co-operation with the board of directors and the audit committee and focuses on actively securing the Company's short to medium term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets. Long term financial investments are managed to generate lasting returns.

The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework.

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.

The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed to are described below. See also Note 25.4 for a summary of the Company's financial assets and liabilities by category.

25.1 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from related parties and customers. The Company's exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at the balance sheet date, as summarised below:

2024 2023
€ 000 €2000
Classes of financial assets - carrying amounts
Trade and other receivables 1,729 1,453
Bank balances 1,600 1,567
3,329 3,020

25. Risk management objectives and policies - continued

25.1 Credit risk - continued

The maximum exposure to crecit risk at the end of the reporting period in respect of financial assets mentioned above is equivalent to their carrying amount as disclosed in the respective Notes to the financial statements.

The Company does not hold any significant collateral in this respect.

The Company has, over the years, conducted business with various corporates, tour operators and individuals located in different jurisdictions and, due to the spread of the Company's debtor base, there is no concentration of credit risk.

The Company has a credit policy in place which new customers are analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and conditions are offered. The Company's review includes external ratings, where available, and in some cases bank references. Customers that fail to meet the Company's benchmark creditworthiness may only transact with the Company only on a cash basis.

In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are individually assessed. Customers that are graded as "high risk" are placed on a restricted customer list, and future sales are only made on a prepayment basis.

The Company does not ask for any collateral in respect of trade and other receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful recoveries that represents its estimate of losses in respect of trade and other receivables. See Note 12 for further information on impairment of financial assets that are past due.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company has three types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:

  • · trade receivables and contract assets relating to the provision of services;
  • · other financial assets at amortised cost, comprising loans receivable from related parties and, in the case of the Company, subsidiary undertakings; and
  • · cash and cash equivalents.

Trade receivables and contract assets

The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The Company has concluded that the expected loss rates for trace receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets since they have substantially the same characteristics.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over an appropriate period before 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 respectively and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

Based on the assessment carried out in accordance with the above methodology the Company concluded trade receivables and contract assets are adequately provided for.

25.2 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. Note 3.4 discloses the measures that the Group has taken and is currently taking to manage the impact of the economic situation.

The Company actively manages its cash flow requirements. Typically, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. The company's working capital position as at the end of December 2024 reflects a deficit of €10 million and as opposed to €8.1 million last year.

The Company depends on the continued support given by the ultimate parent company CPHCL Company Limited and its shareholders. The Group's liquidity risk is actively managed taking cognisance of the matching of operational cash inflows and outflows arising from expected maturities of financial instruments, attributable to the Group's different operations, together with the Group's committed bank borrowing facilities and other financing that it can access to meet liquidity needs.

At 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, the Company has financial liabilities including estimated interest payments with contractual maturities which are summarised below:

31 December 2024 Current
Within
Non-current
More than
1 year
€ 000
2-5 years
€ 000
5 years
€2000
Parent company loan 1,035 31,915
Other interest-bearing borrowings 1,393
Trade and other payables 11,891 7,167
14,319 39,082

This compares to the maturity of the Company's financial liabilities in the previous reporting period as follows:

31 December 2023 Current
Within
Non-current
More than
1 year
€2000
2-5 years
€ 000
5 years
€ 000
Parent company loan 1,035 13,079 25,868
Other interest bearing borrowings 1.622
Trade and other payables 10.036 7,051
Lease liabilities 85
12,778 20,130 25,868

The above contractual maturities reflect the gross cash flows, which may differ from the carrying values of the liabilities at the balance sheet date.

25.3 Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company's income of the value of its financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk.

25.3.1 Foreign currency risk

The Company operates internationally and is exposed to currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than its functional currency which is the Euro. The currency giving rise to the highest risk is the Hungarian Forint (HUF).

In respect of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level.

The Company's revenues, purchase and operating expenditure, financial assets and liabilities, are mainly denominated in Euro except for financial assets amounting to €989,120 and financial liabilities amounting to €725,937 which are denominated in HUF.

At 31 December 2024, if the EUR had weakened/strengthened by 10% (2023: 10%) against the HUF with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been €199,778 ligher (2023: €152,579 lower/€152,579 higher) as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of the EUR denominated borrowings.
