The published figures for the reporting period have been extracted from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of International Hotel Investments p.l.c. ("the Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and the comparative period in 2024. Comparative balance sheet information as of 31 December 2024 has been extracted from the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended on that date. This report is being published in terms of Capital Markets Rule 5.74 issued by the Listing Authority and has been prepared in accordance with the applicable Capital Markets Rules and International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. In terms of Capital Markets Rule 5.75.5, the Directors are stating that this Half-Yearly Financial Report has not been audited or reviewed by the Group's independent auditors.
IHI plc dates its origins to that of its founding shareholder in Malta in 1962. It is engaged primarily in the ownership, development and management of luxury hotels and its proprietary Corinthia brand, but is also involved in related commercial and residential real estate development and project design services. The Company has several subsidiary companies and investments in associate companies through which it promotes the business of the Group.
Significant factors impacting the period under review are the following
Based on these factors and other circumstances, the Group's revenues increased by 10% in the first half of 2025, reaching €149.7 million compared to €135.6 million in the same period last year. When excluding the contributions from the Brussels property, which partially opened in December 2024, and the Beverly Hills hotels, which were leased in March 2025, the comparable year-on-year revenue growth adjusts to 4%.
The Group reports an EBITDA of €20.7 million for the period or a 14% conversion rate. As explained, Corinthia Brussels and the Beverly Hills hotels are still in their early post-opening phases and, are thereby diluting EBITDA contribution. Adjusted EBITDA after removing Brussels and Beverly Hills hotel operations amounts to €25.4 million for 2025 – a conversion rate of 18% and an increase of €2.5 million compared to last year's EBITDA of €22.9 million.
More importantly, the adjusted EBITDA conversion rate of 18% for the first half of the year is stable notwithstanding the continued inflationary pressures on payroll and other costs.
In reviewing the financial results for the first six months of 2025, one should also note the following:
Depreciation and amortisation have increased compared to last year. This increase is driven by the depreciation of the now completed Brussels hotel. This increase is partially offset by the suspension of depreciation on the Lisbon hotel which is now classified as available for sale.
Interest income and expense have marginally increased compared to last year. Interest cost increased by €0.8 million from €21.7million in the corresponding period to €22.5 million on account of further bank loan drawdowns in Brussels to finance the completion of the hotel.
The Group remains focused on debt reduction, through a programme of targeted sales of mature assets, with important developments expected by the year's end.
All the above results in a reported loss after tax of €10.0 million compared to a loss of €10.2 million in the same period last year
The net loss, net of tax, of €7.8 million in the Statement of Comprehensive Income principally reflects the currency translation difference on the Group's non-Euro denominated investments in London and in St Petersburg. The Sterling weakened whereas the Rouble strengthened against the reporting currency of the Group which is the Euro.
In line with the Financial Analysis Summary published in June 2025, most hotels are performing better than last year, and the Group is expecting to close the year with increased revenues and EBITDA year on year. In all our hotels and businesses, management remains entirely focused on maintaining tight discipline on all operating costs whilst offering a quality service.
All CAPEX remains tightly controlled. As at the end of June 2025, the Group had €89.2 million in cash and bank balances at its disposal.
Through its operating entity Corinthia Hotels Limited, the Company remains focused on a growth strategy that is based on management agreements. Works are now well underway on projects on sites in Rome, Dubai, Doha, Riyadh and Maldives, where Group subsidiary companies are involved as development partners, technical services providers and hotel operators, with practically all the capital funding for these projects being provided by third parties.
The project in Rome, which IHI will lease on its completion, is progressing with a handover date expected at the end of 2025.
In line with our asset strategy, management is continuing with the evaluation of all our assets. We are also actively assessing opportunities to sell non-core or fully mature assets. Net proceeds from such sales of assets would be deployed mostly towards paying down additional debt incurred during the pandemic, as well as a combination of dividends and further investments into new real estate projects.
At the date of this report, the Directors of the Group are as follows:
Mr Alfred Pisani (Chairman) Mr Frank Xerri de Caro Mr Moussa Atiiq Ali Mr Hamad Buamim Mr Douraid Zaghouani Mr Joseph Pisani Mr Richard Cachia Caruana Mr Mohamed Mahmoud Alzarouq Shawsh Mr Alfred Camilleri Mr Simon Naudi

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the 2025 Group's Half-Yearly Report are the same as those adopted in the preparation of the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The Company has a related party relationship with its parent company, CPHCL Company Limited (CPHCL), and other entities forming part of the CPHCL Group of Companies, of which IHI is a subsidiary. Transactions with these companies are subject to review by the Audit Committee which provides comfort to the Board of Directors that such transactions are carried out on an arm's length basis and are for the benefit of the IHI Group.
