Note 1. Company's Activity

Meliá Hotels International, S.A. (hereinafter, the "Company") is a public limited company that was legally incorporated in Madrid on 24 June 1986, under the registered name of Investman, S.A. The change to its current name, Meliá Hotels International, S.A., was approved on 1 June 2011 and it remains unchanged since then. In 1998, the Company moved its registered address to Calle Gremio de Toneleros, 24, Palma de Mallorca [Spain].

Meliá Hotels International, S.A. is the parent company of Meliá Hotels International Group (hereinafter, the "Group"). On 27 February 2023, as required by the Commercial Code, the Group's consolidated annual accounts as at 31 December 2022 are prepared, pursuant to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union, which show a consolidated profit attributable to the parent company for the amount of EUR 110.7 million and a consolidated equity attributed to the parent company for the amount of EUR 413.2 million.

The Company's business activity, which was incorporated for an indefinite period according to its bylaws, is as follows:

• The acquisition, holding, operation, promotion, marketing, development, management and assignment under any title of hotel and tourism establishments, and of any other establishments intended for tourism, leisure, entertainment or recreation-related activities, in any way authorised by Law.

• The acquisition, subscription, ownership and transfer of all kinds of transferable securities, both public and private, national and foreign, representing the share capital of companies with the corporate purpose of owning and operating the business or activities mentioned above.

• The acquisition, ownership, operation, management, marketing and assignment under any title of all kinds of goods and services intended for tourism and hotel establishments and facilities, as well as for any leisure and entertainment or recreation-related activities.

• The acquisition, development, marketing and assignment under any title of know-how or technology in the tourism, hotel, leisure, entertainment or recreation sectors.

• The promotion of all kinds of businesses related to tourism and hotel sectors and to leisure, entertainment or recreation activities, as well as the participation in the creation, development and operation of new businesses, establishments or entities in the hotel and tourism sectors, and of any leisure, entertainment or recreations activities.

The activities comprising the corporate purpose may be developed by the Company, either totally or partially, directly or indirectly, through shareholdings or equity interests in companies having the same or similar corporate purpose.

In any event, all those activities that special laws reserve for companies which meet certain requirements that are not met by the Company, are expressly excluded from the corporate purpose; in particular, the activities that the law restricts to Collective Investment Institutions or to Stock Market intermediary firms are excluded.

With over 60 years of history, the Group has consolidated its international presence with 346 hotels in 37 countries, mainly Spain, Latin America, Europe and Asia. With a solid experience in nine brands to attend the different demands of its customers, which asserts its leadership in vacation hotel and bleisure sectors, the Group aims to position itself amongst the world's leading hotel groups in the upper-medium segment, as well as to be recognised as a world leader in terms of excellence, responsibility and sustainability.

Merger by absorption of wholly-owned companies

On 10 June 2021, the Board of Directors of Meliá Hotels International, S.A., as absorbing company, and the Boards of Directors of the companies Expamihso Spain, S.A.U., and Impulse Hotel Development, S.L.U., as absorbed companies, entered into a common merger by absorption project, with the contents and requirements as provided for in Article 30 et seq. of Law 3/2009, of 3 rd April, on structural modifications of commercial companies, with such transaction being registered on 3 November 2021 with the Commercial Registry of Palma de Mallorca.

As a result, Meliá Hotels International, S.A., took over with effect on 1 January 2021, the equity of the said companies according to their merger balance sheets closed at 31 December 2020, which were transferred as a block to the absorbing company, with the latter being subrogated to all the rights and obligations of the absorbed companies as from 1 January 2021 and with the absorbed companies being extinguished.

Since the merger was made between companies that belong to the same group before 31 December 2020, subject to Standard 21st of the Spanish National Chart of Accounts in terms of accounting, all the transactions carried out by these companies were deemed as made, for accounting purposes, as from 1 January 2021 by the absorbing company Meliá Hotels International, S.A. In this sense, all the equity elements acquired were valued at the amount recorded in the annual accounts of the absorbed companies at that date. The difference generated was recognised in reserves of the Company for the amount of EUR 1,143 thousand.

The annual accounts for 2021 includes the information required by the current legislation in relation to this merger.

Directors have prepared the Company's annual accounts using judgements, estimates and assumptions which have an effect on the application of the accounting policies as well as on the balances of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the breakdown of contingent assets and liabilities at the issuance date of these annual accounts.

Such estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances. The carrying amount of assets and liabilities, which is not readily apparent from other sources, has been established based on these estimates. These estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, while the effects of the reviews on the accounting estimates are recognised whether in the year in which they are realised, if they have an effect solely on such period, or in the period under review and future periods, if the review affects both periods. However, the uncertainty inherent in the estimates and assumptions could lead to results that may require an adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities affected in future periods.

The estimates made are detailed, where appropriate, in each of the explanatory notes of the balance sheet captions. The estimates and judgement that have a significant impact and may involve adjustments in future years are set out below:

Provision for income tax

The calculation of income tax requires the interpretation of the tax legislation applicable to the Company. There are also several factors related mainly, but not exclusively, to changes and interpretations of tax laws in force that require the use of estimates by the Company's Management. Such calculation is detailed in ¡Error! No se encuentra el origen de la referencia.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, tax loss carry forwards and unused tax credits, for which the Company probably will have future taxable profits which allow the application of these assets. Directors must carry out significant estimates to determine the amount of the deferred tax assets that can be recognised, by considering the amounts and the dates on which future taxable profits will be obtained and the reversal period of the taxable temporary differences.

Fair value of derivatives

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using measurement techniques, as specified in Note 4.5.3. The Company uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based mainly on market conditions at the closing date of each balance sheet. Most of these measurements are obtained from the financial institutions with which the instruments were contracted.

Estimated impairment loss on non-financial assets

The Company verifies annually whether there is an impairment loss in respect of fixed assets, in accordance with Notes 4.4, 6, 7 and 8. The estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is based on the valuations made by independent experts, which mainly use the discounted cash flow as a valuation criterion.

Post-employment benefits

The cost of defined benefit pension plans is calculated using actuarial valuations. Actuarial valuations require the use of assumptions on discount rates, asset yields, salary increases, mortality tables and rotation, as well as the retirement age of employees with right to these benefits. These estimates are subject to significant uncertainties due to the long-term settlement of these plans.

The valuation of these commitments has been made by reputable independent experts using actuarial valuation techniques. Note 12.1 gives details of the assumptions used to calculate these commitments.

Provision for onerous contracts

The Company must use its judgement significantly for the estimate of the amount of the provision for onerous contracts, since it depends on the projected cash flows deriving from those contracts, which mainly relate to lease contracts for hotel establishments.

The estimate of these future cash flows requires the application of assumptions on the percentage of occupancy, the average room rate (ARR) and the evolution of the costs associated with the hotel operation, as well as the discount rate applied to update such flows.

The Company uses its expertise in operating and managing hotels to determine such assumptions and to make the relevant calculations, as described in Note 12.1.

Recoverable amount of equity investments in Group companies and associates

The Company recognises a provision for accumulated losses in group companies, when the interest in such controlled entities is fully impaired. The measurement of this provision is calculated similarly to that of the impairment of equity instruments in Group companies, value adjustments which are made based on the difference between their carrying amount and their recoverable amount, which is understood, unless there is better evidence, as the equity of the investee, adjusted by the amount of the unrealised capital gains at the measurement date (including the goodwill, if any) (see Note 4.5.1).

If the recoverable amount of the investment is restored, then the Company reverses the provision.

2.5 Cash Flow Statement

The expressions used in the cash flow statement have the following meanings:

• Cash flows: Inflows and outflows of cash or other cash equivalents, these being understood to be short-term investments with high liquidity and low risk of changes in value.

• Operating activities: Common operating activities, as well as other activities that cannot be classified as investment or financing.

• Investment activities: The acquisition, sale or other disposal of non-current assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.

• Financing activities: Activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the equity and liabilities which are not part of the operating activities.

For the purposes of preparation of the cash flow statement, cash in hand and demand bank deposits, as well as shortterm investments with high liquidity, which are easily convertible into determined amounts of cash, are considered as "Cash and other cash equivalents", which are subject to a low risk of changes in value.

2.6 Statement of Changes in Equity

The statement of changes in equity included in these annual accounts shows the total changes in equity during the year. This information is in turn included in the statement of recognised income and expenses and in the statement of changes in equity.

Note 3. Allocation of Results

The Board of Directors will propose to the General Shareholders' Meeting the approval of the allocation of results as follows:

(thousand €) 2022
Basis of distribution
Gains and losses (year's losses) (22.402)
Allocation
To prior years' losses (22.402)

The Board of Directors, in order to strengthen the solvency and liquidity of the Company, will propose to the General Shareholders' Meeting not to distribute dividends. During the previous year, given the continuation of the Covid-19 impacts, dividends were also not distributed.

Note 4. Recognition and Measurement Standards

The accounting principles applied in relation to the different items are as follows:

4.1 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets relate to various software applications, as well as transfer rights, patents and licenses.

Software applications are valued at cost price and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 5 years. Software maintenance-related expenses are recognised as an expense when incurred.

The investments in technological innovation incurred by the Company in producing identifiable and unique software programmes controlled by the Company are included under this heading. In addition, these comply with the following conditions:

  • The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.
  • The Company intends to use or sell the intangible asset.
  • The Company can use or sell the intangible asset.
  • It can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate probable future financial benefits.

• Adequate technical, financial and other resources are available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.

• The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably measured.

The directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software programmes include the labour cost of the staff developing the programmes and a suitable percentage of general costs.

Transfer rights relate mainly to the acquisition costs of operating and management rights for various hotels and are amortised using the straight-line method over the term of the agreements related to these rights.

Patents, licences, brands and similar items include the amounts paid to acquire from third parties the ownership of, or the right to use, trademarks and patents. The depreciation of these items will depend on the expiration of the related agreements.

4.2 Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, including additional expenses incurred to bring the assets into operating conditions, increasing their value according to legal revaluations and restatements (see Note 8), less recognised accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, according to the criterion described in Note 4.4.

The repairs which do not extend the useful life of the assets and the maintenance expenses are charged directly to the profit and loss account. Costs that extend or improve the capacity, productivity or useful life of the assets, are capitalised as an increase in their value.

Works performed by the Company for its fixed assets are stated at the cost of the necessary goods and required services or at the cost of production of the goods produced by the Company and of the necessary staff time.

Within property, plant and equipment under Other fixed assets, the amount of replacements (crockery, furnishings, cutlery, linen, etc.) is included, which is stated at average cost as per the stocktaking carried out in the different hotel centres at the year end. Breakages and losses are recorded as Disposals.

Property, plant and equipment items are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life, which is as follows:

Years
Buildings 50
Plant 18
Machinery 18
Furniture 15
Fixtures 8
Software 6
Vehicles 5
Other fixed assets 8

Such depreciation, however, is adjusted by the Company for the assets linked to lease contracts, which are depreciated over the shorter of the assets' useful life and the lease term.

The useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each balance sheet date. Land is not subject to systematic depreciation since it is considered to have indefinite useful life, however it is subject to impairment tests.

4.3 Investment Property

The investments made by the Company to obtain rental income or capital gains, and which generate cash flows independently of the other assets held by the Company, are recorded under this caption.

Property, plant and equipment criteria are used for the measurement and depreciation of investment properties, as described in Note 8. Unbuilt land is measured at acquisition cost plus fitting-out costs. Buildings are measured at acquisition or production cost, including the additional expenses incurred until initial operation.

4.4 Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Investment Property

At each year end, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. Periodically, the Company obtains valuations made by independent experts of its owned hotel assets, which are operated by the Company or leased to third parties. Such valuations are completed with the valuations made internally.

When determining the value of the assets, the valuation criterion most used by the experts is the discounted cash flow, since hotel investments are generally valued according to the potential future income. In certain cases, other valuation methods were used, such as the comparables method or the residual value method. The latter method was mainly used to value plots and land.

At the end of the years in which such valuations are not obtained, and for assets or cash-generating units for which such valuation is not available, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that its tangible assets may be impaired. For owned hotels, the Company considers whether there is any indication that they have suffered an impairment loss mainly based on the operating result of the various cash-generating units, as well as observable external sources of information revealing that the value of the asset during the period has decreased more than expected as a consequence of the passage of time or its normal use, due to changes that may have occurred in the environment in which the hotel operates. In addition, other factors such as geopolitical circumstances, economic situation or natural disasters that may affect the recoverable amount of such assets are taken into account.

If such indication exists, or when annual impairment test for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount on the basis of the methodology used in the last valuation carried out by the independent expert for the relevant asset or cash-generating unit. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell or cash-generating unit and value in use, and is determined individually for each asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.

In assessing value in use, the Company projects future cash flows by considering the budget approved by its governing bodies for 2023, and applying growth assumptions that are consistent with the market in which the asset operates and its historical performance for a period of 5 years and estimating a residual value according to a long-term growth rate not higher than the expected growth of the economy and the sector in which the asset operates. Estimated future cash flows are discounted using a discount rate before taxes which reflects changes in the value of money over time in the current market and the specific risks of the asset which have not been adjusted in the estimated future cash flows, mainly the risks of the business and the country in which the asset is located, as well as the significant climate risks that may affect it.

Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and its carrying value is reduced to its recoverable amount. Losses due to impairment of ongoing activities are recognised in the income statement in the expense category in accordance with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made each year end as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. This increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years. This reversal is recognised in the income statement for the year. After such reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

4.5 Financial Instruments

4.5.1 Financial Assets

Financial assets may be classified as: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at amortised cost, financial assets at fair value through equity and financial assets at cost.

a) Financial assets at cost

This heading includes equity investments in group companies and associates. Upon initial recognition, they are recognised at fair value which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price, which is equal to the fair value of the consideration given plus directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, they are measured at cost less, where appropriate, the accumulated amount of the measurement adjustments for impairment which is recognised in the income statement in the year in which it occurs.

b) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include held-for-trading financial assets acquired for the purposes of selling them mainly in the short term, as well as unlisted equity instruments of companies over which no control or significant influence is exercised.

Short-term trading portfolio includes equity instruments listed in official markets; their market prices are used to determine the fair value of these investments.

The changes in their fair value are recorded in the income statement for the year.

c) Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets included in this category are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. Accrued interest is recognised in the income statement, using the effective interest method.

Nevertheless, credits from commercial operations with a due date not exceeding one year and which do not have a contractual interest rate, as well as advances to staff, dividends receivable and capital calls on equity instruments expected to be received at short term, are measured at face value, both at the initial and later measurement, when the effect of not adjusting the cash flows is not material.

Loans and receivables with a maturity of less than 12 months as of the balance sheet date are classified as current, and those with a maturity greater than 12 months are classified as non-current.

Non-current guarantees and deposits are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Current guarantees and deposits are not discounted.

Trade receivables are shown at their face value in the balance sheet, by carrying out the corresponding measurement adjustments and providing, where appropriate, the relevant provisions based on the risk of insolvency, which are applied where the debt is deemed to be uncollectible.

d) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a transferred financial asset when it assigns all contractual rights to receive the cash flows generated by the asset or, even when retaining such rights, it assumes a contractual obligation to pay them to the assignees and the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the asset are substantially transferred.

Where the Company has transferred assets in which the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset are substantially retained, the transferred financial asset is not derecognised in the balance sheet and is recognised as a related financial liability for an amount equal to the consideration received, which is subsequently measured at amortised cost. The transferred financial asset continues to be measured according to the same criteria applied prior to the transfer. Both income from the transferred asset and the expenses of the related financial liability are recognised, without netting, in the income statement.

e) Impairment of financial assets

Investments in group companies, jointly controlled entities, and associates are measured at cost less, where appropriate, the accumulated amount of the measurement adjustments for impairment. Such adjustments are calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, the latter being the higher amount between the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows arising from the investment. Unless there is better evidence, the recoverable amount is based on the value of the equity of the investee, adjusted by the amount of the unrealised capital gains at the measurement date (including the goodwill, if any). Measurement adjustments for impairment and, where appropriate, their reversal, are recognised as income or expense, respectively, in the income statement.

The Company applies a simplified approach when calculating the expected credit losses of financial assets at amortised cost and, where appropriate, a value adjustment for the expected credit losses over the entire life of the asset is recognised at each closing date. To do that, the Group has established a matrix of provisions based on its history of credit losses, adjusted by the prospective factors specific for such assets.

Due to the characteristics of the main sector in which the Company operates, the customers of the hotel segment have minimal risk of insolvency.

4.5.2 Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified in the following measurement categories: financial liabilities measured at amortised cost and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. In both cases, financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs. All non-derivative financial liabilities of the Company are included within the category financial liabilities at amortised cost.

a) Issuance of debentures and other marketable securities

Debt issues are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, less directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost applying the effective interest method. Bonds with a maturity exceeding 12 months are classified as non-current liabilities, while those with shorter maturity than that are included under current liabilities.

b) Bank loans

They are initially recorded at the amount received, net of transaction costs. After initial measurement, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

This heading includes debts originated by the acquisition of assets financed by leasing contracts.

c) Debts with group companies and associates

Financial liabilities included in this category are measured at amortised cost. Accrued interest is recognised in the income statement, using the effective interest method.

d) Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when all the risks are substantially transferred, and the liability that resulted in their recognition on the balance sheet is extinguished.

4.5.3 Hedge Activities and Derivatives

Derivative financial instruments are classified as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or as accounting hedges. In both cases, derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which they are arranged, and this fair value is regularly adjusted. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive, and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.

a) Accounting Hedges

The Company applies hedge accounting to those operations in which the hedge is expected to be highly effective; that is, when the changes in the fair value or in the cash flows of the items covered by the hedge are offset by the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instruments with an effectiveness comprised between 80% and 125%. In addition, at the inception of the hedge, the relationship between the hedged item and the derivative financial instrument designated for that purpose is formally documented.

The Company has various interest rate swaps classified as cash flow hedges. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined through the discounted cash flow measurement technique according to the characteristics of each contract, such as the face amount and the collection and payment schedule. The discount factors used to obtain said value are calculated based on the curve of the zero-coupon rates obtained from the deposits and rates listed in the market on the date of measurement. The resulting fair value is adjusted for the own credit risk if significant. These values are obtained from studies carried out by the financial institutions with which the Company has contracted these instruments.

Changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments are reflected in equity, under the heading Other measurement adjustments, being allocated by the part considered an effective hedge to the income statement insofar as the item being hedged is also settled. The fair value is entered in the accounts according to the date of trade.

b) Derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting

Any profit or loss arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives which do not qualify to be classified as hedging instruments are directly recognised in the net profit or loss for the year. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments is obtained from studies carried out by financial institutions.

4.6 Inventories

Inventories are measured at cost, whether acquisition price or production cost. Trade discounts, rebates, other similar items and interest included in the face value of the related payables are deducted in determining the acquisition price.

The Company recognises the appropriate value adjustments as an expense in the income statement when the net realisable value of the inventories is lower than acquisition price.

4.7 Cash and Other Cash Equivalents

Cash and other cash equivalents include cash in hand and at bank, as well as short-term deposits in banks and other financial institutions with an original maturity of less than three months from the date of subscription.

4.8 Treasury Shares

Treasury shares are recognised as a decrease in the Company's equity, and are stated at acquisition cost, without valuation adjustments.

The gains and losses obtained on disposals of treasury shares are recorded directly against equity.

4.9 Grants, Donations and Bequests Received

For the accounting of grants, donations and bequests received from third parties other than the owners, the following criteria are used by the Company:

• Non-refundable grants, donations and bequests related to assets: These are measured at the fair value of the amount, or the asset received, based on whether or not they are monetary grants, and they are taken to income in proportion to the period depreciation taken on the assets for which the grants were received or, where appropriate, on disposal of the asset or on the recognition of an impairment loss.

• Refundable grants: While they are refundable, they are recognised as a liability.

• Operating grants: These are recognised in the income statement at the time they are granted, unless they are intended to be allocated to the financing of the operating deficit for future years, in which case they will be recognised in those years. If they are granted to finance specific expenses, they will be recognised as the financed expenses accrue.

In addition, grants, donations and bequests received from shareholders or owners are not revenue and must be recognised directly in equity, regardless of the type of grant, provided that they are non-refundable.

4.10 Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognised when the Company:

  • Has a present obligation, legal or implicit, because of a past event.
  • It is probable that an outflow of funds including economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
  • A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are carried at the present value of the best possible estimate of the amount needed to settle or transfer to a third party the obligation. Adjustments due to updating the provision are recognised as a financial expense as they accrue. Provisions maturing in one year or less with a non-significant financial effect are not discounted. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the liability at any time.

On the other hand, contingent liabilities are the possible obligations, arising from past events, the materialisation of which is subject to the occurrence of future events which are not entirely under the Company's control, and those present obligations, arising as a result of past events, which are not likely to give rise to an outflow of resources for their settlement or which cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. These liabilities are not recognised in the accounts, but are disclosed in the notes to the annual accounts.

Onerous contracts

A contract is onerous when the unavoidable costs of meeting the contractual obligations exceed the expected economic benefits.

In the case of hotel lease contracts, the estimate of future results from these agreements is reviewed annually, based on the expected flows from the relevant cash-generating units, applying an appropriate discount rate. If the costs exceed the benefits, the Company records a provision for such difference, including the net assets related to the cash-generating unit. Details of the analysis performed by the Company are included in Note 12.1.

Post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits are classified as defined benefit plans. In general, these type of provisions fix the amount of the benefit that the employee will receive on retirement, usually based on one or more factors such as age, number of years of service and remuneration.

The Company recognises in the balance sheet a provision for long-term defined benefit obligations in an amount corresponding to the difference between the present value of the committed benefits and the fair value of any assets linked to the benefit commitments which will be used to settle the obligations, less any past service costs still not recognised, if any.

If an asset results from the above-mentioned difference, its valuation may not exceed the current value of the benefits that may be returned to the Company in the form of direct reimbursements or lower future contributions, plus, where appropriate, the part not yet recognised in the income statement for past service costs.

Past service costs are recognised immediately in the income statement unless they involve non-vested rights, in which case they are taken to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period remaining to the vesting of the past service rights.

The current value of the obligation is determined using actuarial calculation methods and unbiased financial and actuarial assumptions that are mutually compatible. The Company recognises, directly in the statement of recognised income and expense, the profits and losses arising from the change in the current value and, where applicable, the plan assets, as a result of the changes in actuarial assumptions or adjustments made on the basis of experience.

Certain collective bargaining agreements in force and applicable to the Company establish that permanent staff for a specified number of years employed by the Company who opt to terminate their employment contract will be entitled to a cash award equal to a number of monthly salary payments which is proportional to the number of years of service. During the fiscal year, an assessment of these commitments has been performed in accordance with the actuarial assumptions contained in Meliá Hotels International, S.A.'s own rotation model, by applying the calculation method known as the Projected Unit Credit Method and the population assumptions corresponding to the PER2020 tables.

The balance of provisions, as well as the capitalisation of payments for future services, cover these acquired commitments, based on an actuarial analysis prepared by an independent expert.

The Company has duly externalised the pension commitments and obligations stipulated in collective bargaining agreements subject to the Ministerial Order of 2 November 2006.

4.11 Leases

Finance Leases

The leases in which all the risks and rewards inherent in the ownership of the leased asset are substantially transferred, are classed as finance leases.

At lease inception, the lessee recognises in the balance sheet an asset and a liability in the same amount, which is equal to the fair value of the leased asset, or the present value of minimum future lease payments, if lower.

Lease instalments are divided into two parts: the financial cost and the principal payment. The financial cost is taken directly to the income statement.

Assets being recognised under finance leases are depreciated using the straight-line method over the asset's estimated useful life.

Operating leases

Leases where the lessor substantially maintains all the risks and economic benefits of ownership of the leased asset are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentive received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The assets recognised by the Company in hotels operated under operating leases are depreciated over the shorter of their useful lives and the lease term.

4.12 Trade Creditors and Other Payables

Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

However, trade payables with a maturity not exceeding one year and which have no contractual interest rate, as well as payments required by third parties for shares, the amount of which is expected to be paid in the short-term, are measured at their face value provided the effect of not adjusting the cash flows is not material.

4.13 Corporate Income Tax

The Company files corporate income tax returns under the Consolidated Tax Regime, within the Tax Group 70/98, as the parent company thereof, so the tax expense and the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined according to this tax regime.

The corporate income tax expense for the year is calculated as the sum of the current tax that results from the application of the corresponding tax rate to the tax base for the year, determined according to the consolidated tax regime, following the application of existing tax credits and deductions, and the change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities accounted for. The corresponding tax expense is recognised in the income statement, unless the tax relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case the corresponding tax expense is also recognised in equity.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences existing at the balance sheet date between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities and their tax bases.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that there will be taxable profits of the Company and the Tax Group allowing the application of such assets, except in the case of deductible temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor the taxable profit or loss.

The recovery of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to the amount which is expected to be recovered based on the taxable profit available.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on their expected materialisation and on the tax legislation and tax rates approved, or are about to be approved, on the balance sheet date.

4.14 Current and Non-Current Items

The assets linked to the normal operating cycle, which in general is one year, the assets expected to mature, be sold or be realised in the short term following the end of the fiscal year, the financial assets held for trading, except for financial derivatives expected to be settled within more than twelve months, and cash and other cash equivalents are considered to be current assets. Assets which do not meet these requirements are classified as non-current assets.

Likewise, liabilities linked to the normal operating cycle, the financial liabilities held for trading, except for financial derivatives expected to be settled within more than twelve months and, in general, all the obligations the maturity or cancellation of which will occur in the short term are considered to be current liabilities. They are otherwise classified as non-current.

4.15 Transactions in Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the corresponding transaction date, and are restated at the year end at the exchange rate then in effect. The exchange differences, both positive and negative, originated during this process, are recognised in the income statement in the year in which they arise.

Non-monetary items valued at their historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.

4.16 Assets of an Environmental Nature

Assets that are used on a lasting basis in the Company's operations which main purpose is to minimise the impact on the environment as well as to protect and enhance the environment, including the reduction or elimination of future pollution, are considered to be environmental assets.

The Company's activities, by definition, have no significant impact on the environment.

4.17 Income and Expenses

Income and expenses are recognised on an accrual basis regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow arises.

The operating revenues arising from contracts with customers are recognised as the control of goods and services is transferred to such customers. Control of goods or services can be defined as having full autonomy over the use of the asset and obtaining substantially all of its remaining benefits.

In order to apply this criterion, a process is followed, which consists of the following successive stages:

  • Identification of the contract with the customer.
  • Identification of the contract performance obligation.
  • Determination of the transaction price.
  • Allocation of the transaction price to the obligations to be met, depending on sales prices of each good or service, or by estimating the sales price when it is not independently observable.
  • Recognition of the revenues from ordinary activities as the company fulfils an undertaken obligation.

Income from the sale of goods or services is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Volume rebates, prompt payment and any other discounts, as well as the interest added to the face amount of the consideration, are recognised as a reduction therein. However, the Company includes interest added to trade receivables with a maturity not exceeding one year and which have no contractual interest rate, provided the effect of not adjusting the cash flows is not material.

Interest income from financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established. In any event, interest and dividends from financial assets accrued after the date of acquisition are recognised as income in the income statement.

Sale of rooms and other related services

Income deriving from the sale of rooms and other related services is recognised daily based on the services provided by each hotel establishment and including "in-house" customers, i.e. those that are still lodged at the hotel at the time daily production is closed. For this type of contracts, the only execution obligation identified is that of the own hotel service, which includes making available the hotel rooms to the customers.

Where the hotel rate includes services such as food and beverage (breakfast, half board or full board), an additional execution obligation is identified, to which a differentiated price is allocated on the basis of the expected cost plus a margin approach.

Likewise, the consideration received for banquets, events, space rental, etc., is divided among the contracted services.

Provision of hotel management services

The Company recognises income from its hotel management contracts at the end of each period, based on the evolution of the variables that determine that income, primarily consisting of total income and the Gross Operating Profit (GOP) for each of the hotel establishments managed by the Group.

Another performance obligation defined in the hotel management contracts relates to services linked to such activity, such as transfer of trademark use.

Sale of fixed assets

The Company actively manages its real estate assets portfolio. In general, the net capital gains on sales for asset rotation are recognised in the income statement once the carrying value of the relevant assets has been discounted from the selling price. The Company recognises the proceeds from the sale as operating income.

Lease income

Income deriving from operating leases in investment properties is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included as operating income.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for all the financial instruments measured at amortised cost. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts payments made and received in cash estimated over the expected life of the financial instrument. Interest income is recognised as financial income in the Company's income statement.

Dividends

Income from dividends is recognised in the income statement when the right of the Company to receive the corresponding payment is established. If dividends unequivocally derive from earnings generated before the acquisition date, they will not be recognised as income and will reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

4.18 Transactions with Related Parties

In general, transactions between related companies are recognised initially at fair value. If the agreed price differs from its fair value, the difference is recognised on the basis of the economic reality of the transaction. Subsequent recognition is made in accordance with the provisions of the applicable rules.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in mergers, demergers and non-monetary contributions of a business, the components of the acquired business are recognised for the amount that would correspond to them, upon completion of the transaction, in the Group's consolidated annual accounts, in case they are prepared under Regulations governing the Preparation of Consolidated Annual Accounts, or for the carrying amount of the absorbed company, if the Group's Consolidated Annual Accounts are prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards, as it is the case here.

In such cases, any differences that may arise between the net amount of the assets and liabilities of the acquired company, adjusted by the balance of grants, donations and bequests received and adjustments for changes in value, and any capital amount and share premium, if any, issued by the absorbing company, are recognised in reserves.

4.19 Termination Benefits

According to the existing labour legislation, the Company is required to pay termination benefits to employees terminated under certain conditions. Termination benefits that may be reasonably quantified are recognised as expenses in the year in which there is valid expectation created by the Company in the affected third parties.

4.20 Business Combinations

Mergers, demergers and non-monetary contributions of a business between group companies are recognised in accordance with the provisions for transactions with related parties (Note 4.18).

Mergers and demergers other than the above and business combinations arising from the acquisition of all the equity of a company or of a part comprising one or more businesses, are recognised in accordance with the acquisition method.

In the case of business combinations arising from the acquisition of shares or participations in the capital of a company, the Company recognises the investment in accordance with the requirements for equity investments in Group companies, jointly controlled entities and associates (Note 4.5.1 a)).

Note 5. Financial Risk Management Policy

The General Policy for Risk Control, Analysis and Management of Meliá Group establishes the core principles and guidelines that govern the activities for control and management of risks, both financial and non-financial, faced by the Company. This policy establishes a reduced tolerance for financial risks; therefore, mitigation of risks is a priority in the management of this type of risks in order to minimise the potential adverse effects of these risks on the annual accounts. The actions planned in such management are reviewed and updated periodically.

The Company's activities are mainly exposed to several risks: market risk (interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and price risk), liquidity risk, credit risk, environmental risks and geopolitical risks. The Company, through the management it conducts, tries to minimise the potential adverse effects of these risks on the annual accounts.

Additional information on these risks is provided below:

5.1 Interest Rate Risk

Meliá Hotels International, S.A.'s financial statements include certain items subject to fixed and variable interest.

The Company maintains a policy of partially hedging against changes in interest rates by obtaining different financial derivatives that allow it to contract a fixed rate for a specified period of time that it applies to financing transactions with variable rates. In some cases, and due to the early cancellation of some of these financing transactions, the Company has proceeded to restructure the financial derivatives associated with this financing to apply them to other new financing transactions at a variable rate, adapting the repayment schedules to create an effective interest rate hedge. In some of these restructurings of hedging derivatives and to avoid incurring unnecessary payments, it has not been possible to continue applying hedge accounting (see Note 9.3).

The structure of the debt with third parties as at 31 December 2022 and 2021, without considering the heading of Other financial liabilities, is as follows (these face amounts do not include interest payable):

31/12/2022 31/12/2021
(thousand €) Fixed interest Variable interest Total Fixed interest Variable interest Total
Bank loans 353.327 523.376 876.703 483.452 428.817 912.269
Mortgage loans 27.571 4.942 32.513 37.633 37.633
Credit facilities 103.077 103.077 20.349 20.349
Leasing 7 7 335 335
ECP 24.200 24.200 77.570 77.570
Simple bonds 52.500 52.500 52.500 52.500
Total 457.598 631.402 1.089.000 573.585 527.070 1.100.656

The variable interest rate debt is basically tied to Euribor.

As at 31 December 2022, the Company has various interest rate swaps contracted, with a notional value of EUR 125.8 million, considered as cash flow hedging instruments, as stated in Note 9.3. At the 2021-year end, the notional value of the swaps contracted was EUR 143.1 million. The variable rate bank loans and mortgages hedged by these swaps are shown in the Fixed Interest column for the part of the capital hedged.

The sensitivity, in thousand euro, of 2022 and 2021 profit or loss to interest rate variations (in base points) is as follows:

Variation 2022 2021
+ 25 1.579 1.124
- 25 (1.579) (1.124)

The above sensitivity analysis has been carried out considering an average increase/decrease throughout the year in the base points indicated in the table. The effect of the interest rate swaps has been considered in this calculation.

5.2 Foreign Exchange Risk

Fluctuations in items of the currencies in which the bank accounts and debts are denominated and the purchases/sales are carried out, vis-à-vis the accounting currency, may have an impact on the result (profit/loss) for the fiscal year.

The following items may be affected by foreign exchange risks:

  • Debt and liquid assets denominated in currencies other than the Euro.
  • Collections and payments for supplies, services or investments in currencies other than the Euro.
  • Transactions in foreign currency arranged by group companies and associates (see Note 16.6).

Likewise, the recoverable value of shares in a functional currency other than the Euro changes due to movements in exchange rates. It is not the Company's policy to arrange derivatives for the hedge of net investments in businesses abroad.

5.3 Credit Risk

The credit risk arising from default of a counterparty (customer, supplier, or financial entity) is mitigated by the Company's policies regarding the diversification of customer portfolios, source markets, oversight of concentration and on-going in-depth debt control. In addition, in certain cases, the Company may carry out other financial operations which allow the reduction of credit risks, such as assignments of receivables.

The credit periods established by the Company range between 21 and 90 days. The average period of collection of the Company's receivables in 2022 was 35.62 days; 43.46 days in 2021.

The age of trade receivables at the year end is as follows:

(thousand €) 31/12/2022 % 31/12/2021 %
Less than 90 days 26.590 83% 23.446 90%
More than 90 and less than 180 3.025 10% 1.887 7%
More than 180 and less than 365 2.327 7% 848 3%
Total 31.942 100% 26.182 100%

5.4 Liquidity Risk

Exposure to adverse situations experienced by debt or capital markets may prevent or hinder the coverage of financing needs required for the appropriate development of the Company's activities.

In this sense, the operating cash flows from previous years were directly affected by the crisis caused by Covid-19, which obliged the Company to adopt in 2020 and 2021 several actions to increase liquidity and strengthen the financial position of the Company, including the asset rotation transaction described in Note 7 and financing transactions for a relevant amount without the need of increasing the number of mortgaged hotels, among other aspects.

Notwithstanding the above, the Directors and the Management of the Company continue to constantly monitor the evolution of the liquidity situation, as well as the impacts that it may have on the credit market and they consider, following a clear activity recovery trend from the second quarter of 2022 and based on their liquidity forecast for a period of at least 12 months from the date of preparation of these annual accounts, that, without prejudice to possible improvements and adaptations that may be applied, including possible asset rotation transactions, the liquid assets included in the Balance Sheet, as well as the availability of loan agreements and credit facilities, the applied borrowing policies and the amount of cash flows generated in the worst scenarios, ensure that the Company will meet the obligations included in the Balance Sheet as at 31 December 2022 with solvency, as well as continue its activities in the foreseeable future, and there is no significant uncertainty on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Consequently, the directors continue to apply the going concern basis in the preparation of these annual accounts of the Company for 2022.

The Group uses different management procedures, such as the maintenance of credit facilities committed for sufficient amount and flexibility, the diversification of the coverage of financing needs through the access to different markets and geographical areas, and the diversification of the maturities of the issued debt.

The following table contains a summary of the maturities of the Company's financial liabilities as at 31 December 2022, based on face amounts, excluding interest, by maturity:

(thousand €) < 3 months 3 to 12 months 1 to 5 years > 5 years Total
Simple bonds 52.500 52.500

Total 81.283 93.970 867.602 57.801 1.100.656

5.5 Capital Management Policy

The main objectives of the Company's capital management are to guarantee financial stability in the short and long term, to ensure the necessary liquidity for daily operations and investments, positive evolution of the share value and an appropriate remuneration to shareholders through the distribution of dividends.

The financial position is also backed by the strong support of the banks and the Company's asset base. The positive perception of, and support to, the Group by the banks was demonstrated during the serious economic crisis that began in 2020, during which the banks provided it with greater liquidity without requiring any mortgage securities on the assets that were not mortgaged at the beginning of the year. At present, 21.3% (21.9% at the 2021 year end) of the total debt is secured by the Group's assets.

5.6 Price Risk

Price risk of the Company's inventories mainly arises from the fluctuations in the price and the availability of food and beverages that the Company sells to its customers. However, the Directors consider that changes in prices are insignificant and are transferred to the selling price of food and beverages, therefore, the Company does not conduct price hedging transactions.

Likewise, the Company is exposed to equity price risks of financial investments in equity instruments. Investments in equity instruments in unlisted companies are broken down in Note 9 and are held for strategic purposes and not for the purposes of trading with them and they are mainly focused on entities owning hotel assets. Given the reduced percentage of equity interest in these companies, in case of variations not exceeding 10% of the fair value of the assets of the entities in which the Company holds equity instruments without exercising significant influence, these would not significantly affect the carrying amount of these investments in the balance sheet. On the other hand, the Company has no relevant investments in equity instruments of listed companies.

5.7 Environmental Risks

The fight against climate change and the environment and biodiversity protection are one of the priority strategic lines of the commitment of the Company with sustainability and the protection of tourist destinations. For this reason, the Company continues to promote an efficient and responsible hotel management model, both in the consumption of resources and the minimisation of the impact of its activity.

The Company's commitment, therefore, takes on a special significance given the nature of the activity developed and the importance of tourism in the global economy, as well as its high level of dependence on social and environmental factors, such as climate and natural resources.

Likewise, technology and sustainability are key to advance towards the decarbonisation of the Company's business model and achieve the public commitments acquired for reduction of the carbon footprint.

Progress made in the incorporation of sustainability in the entire value chain has allowed to enrich and improve the hotel renovation and building processes, designing a differential value proposal which promotes a new hotel experience that is more attractive, more responsible and more sustainable for customers, hotel owners and the various existing partners. As a result of these progresses, the renovation projects carried out in several hotels operated by the Company in the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands, were granted the Rethink Hotel award, as these projects are noteworthy in sustainability and hotel renovation since they include sustainable criteria such as energy efficiency, production of renewable energy, waste management and usage of water cycle.

In this sense, in July 2022, the Company opened the first carbon footprint-neutral hotel, based on the efficient energy management and which establishes the path for the new hotel management concepts.

In addition, in terms of management of water resources, the Company uses the tool Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, which allows to identify areas with higher risk of hydric stress globally, monitor our portfolio located in such areas and adopt the necessary preventive measures. Additionally, for the third consecutive year, the Group has voluntarily participated in the CDP Water Security, an internationally renowned ranking which measures water security and quality.

Likewise, and in line with the acquired commitments in terms of the environment and working towards the achievement of the goals set, the Company continues to promote improvement measures focused on prioritising renewable energy acquisition, promoting investments aimed at reducing emissions, and permanently monitoring energy and water consumptions in order to identify deviations, improvements and corrective actions.

5.8 Geopolitical Risks

Geopolitical Risks include the conflict between Russia and Ukraine initiated in 2022 and which is causing, among other effects, an increase in the price of certain raw materials and the cost of energy, as well as the activation of sanctions, embargoes and restrictions towards Russia, which affect the economy in general and companies operating with and in Russia in particular. The Company has no direct exposures in the countries involved in the armed conflict, therefore, this has not significantly affected the hotel bookings, however, the issues slowed down in certain destinations at the beginning of the conflict, but these recovered a few days after.

Likewise, the armed conflict has caused high inflation rates, unknown in the last years, which were accompanied by increases in interest rates which reflect the perception by the lenders of a higher credit risk and the intervention of central banks in order to control the inflation. Notes 5.1 and 5.6 detail the exposure of the Company to interest rate risks and price risks, including the existing specific or natural hedging.

The impact that this war will have on the Company's business will depend on the development of future events that cannot be reliably forecasted at the date of preparation of these annual accounts.

5.9 Estimate of Fair Value

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.

• Hedging and other derivatives: As referred to in Note 4.5.3, hedging and other derivatives are calculated using discounted net flow techniques, calculated by the difference between variable interest payments and fixed interest payments.

• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: At the year end, the amounts posted, net of impairment losses, are not substantially different from their fair values.

• Assets and liabilities at amortised cost: Their fair value is mainly estimated on the basis of parameters such as interest rates and market risk, and by using discounted cash flow techniques.

As referred to in Note 4.5, there are no differences between fair values calculated for financial instruments recorded in the Company's annual accounts and their corresponding accounting values.

The impact of this restatement on the provision for depreciation amounts to EUR 25 thousand (EUR 26 thousand in 2021).

Asset valuation

Meliá Hotels International, S.A. in 2022 has entrusted the valuation of the assets owned by its Group. These assets have been valued by the worldwide firm specialised in hotel investment and consultancy services CBRE Valuation Advisory, S.A. according to the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) global standards in force at the date of valuation. This resulted in a gross value of EUR 4,041 million, relating to the owned assets fully consolidated, with a net carrying amount at the time of the appraisal of EUR 1,778 million. The Company's asset valuation resulted in a gross value of EUR 749.3 million, with a net carrying amount at the time of the appraisal of EUR 408.3 million, EUR 279 million relates to property, plant and equipment for owned hotels.

The valuation, dated 31 July 2022, included 54 assets owned by the Group, including 8 properties classified as Investment Property in the consolidated balance sheet, and 12 assets owned by the Company.

In addition, the appraisal also included 30 assets owned by associates and joint ventures.

When determining the value of the assets, the valuation criterion most used by CBRE has been the discounted cash flow, since hotel investments are generally valued according to the potential future income. In certain cases, other valuation methods have been used, such as the comparables method or the residual value method. The latter method has been mainly used to value plots and land. Regardless of the valuation criterion, the result thereof has been checked by comparing it with other parameters such as stabilised returns, price per room or leveraged IRR.

Discounted cash flow method: Financial projections have been prepared for a 5-year period; the flows for year 5 have been used to project the next 5 years and the cash flows for fiscal year 11 have been discounted at an exit multiple, dependent upon historical transactions, expected profitability and other factors such as age, location, maintenance conditions of the property, etc. Financial projections have been estimated by considering the operating revenues and income that a reasonably efficient operator could achieve, including the investments necessary to attain such level based on the property condition.

The discount rates used by CBRE in the valuation, depending on the geographic region in which the assets are located, are shown in the following table:

Discount Rates Exit Yield
Spain 7,50% - 10,25% 5,50%-7,50%
Rest of Europe 2,12% - 7,75% 4,00%-6,25%
Latin America 11,25% - 12,50% 8,25%-9,50%

Comparables method: This valuation criterion takes into account the balance between the supply and demand at the time of the valuation. This means an evaluation of the property based on an analysis of the latest market transactions and a comparison of these with the average price per room.

Residual value method: This is the method generally used to value urban land, whether or not it has buildings on it. This involves determining the price that could be paid for the property, given the gross value of the development and the total cost of the project, taking into account the margins applied in the market once the characteristics of the property and the risks inherent in the project have been factored in.

Note 8. Investment Property

The balance of investment property includes the net carrying value of investments made by the Company to obtain rental income or capital gains, such as interest in four apartment owners' associations and other properties. Said apartments relate to establishments which are managed by the Company.

The breakdown of the gross value and accumulated depreciation of investment property for 2022 is as follows:

(thousand €) 31/12/2021 Additions Disposals 31/12/2022
Gross value 34.764 817 (3.419) 32.162
Accumulated depreciation (15.876) (605) 1.403 (15.078)

a) Accounting Hedges

As part of its interest rate risk management policies (see Note 5.1), the Company, at the end of the fiscal year, has several interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, based on the contractual terms; therefore, changes in their fair value are taken directly to the Company's equity.

The items hedged by these operations mainly relate to a part of the variable interest rate financing in euro and dollar. These financial instruments are used to exchange interest rates, so that the Company receives variable interest from the bank in exchange for a fixed interest payment on the same face amount. The variable interest received from the derivative offsets interest payments on the financing hedged. The final result is a fixed interest payment on the financing hedged.

At the end of 2022, these derivative financial instruments have been measured and recorded in assets for the amount of EUR 5.5 million (EUR 40 thousand in assets and EUR 0.8 million in liabilities, in 2021). To determine these fair values, discounted cash flow techniques have been used based on the embedded amounts determined by the interest rate curve in accordance with the market conditions at the measurement date. The measurements of these swaps have also been carried out by the financial institutions from which these products are obtained, as independent experts in the measurement of financial instruments.

The Company has transferred to the income statement of the year an amount of EUR 45 thousand because of interest rate hedging; EUR 0.9 million in 2021. These amounts have been recorded in the financial expenses item, as well as the hedged item.

Likewise, as at 31 December 2022, the notional value of the interest rate swaps that qualify as hedges amounts to EUR 125.8 million, and as at 31 December 2021 such value amounted to EUR 143.1 million (see Note 5.1).

b) Other derivatives

Other derivative assets and liabilities recognised at the end of 2022 relate to interest rate swaps contracted in the framework of the interest rate risk management performed by the Company (see Note 5.1). Interest rate swaps are not deemed to be accounting hedges, since they were contracted in the framework of a debt restructuring and thus, they do not meet the requirements for the application of hedge accounting according to the Chart of Accounts.

The measurements of these swaps have also been carried out by the financial institutions from which these products are obtained, as independent experts in the measurement of financial instruments.

The Company has recognised in the year's income statement EUR 2.5 million of income due to the change in fair value of such interest rate swaps, EUR 966 thousand of expenses in 2021. These amounts are recognised under the heading Change in fair value of financial instruments.

As at 31 December 2022, the notional value of these financial instruments amounts to EUR 51.9 million, and as at 31 December 2021 such value amounted to EUR 72.9 million.

Consequently, the Board of Directors can exercise this right, in one or more times, deciding in each case, not only the timing or appropriateness, but also the amount and conditions which it considers should apply within a maximum period of five years, starting from the date of said Meeting. If the capital increase is made excluding the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights, such authority of the Board of Directors is limited to 20% of the share capital.

The voting rights held by the main shareholders with direct and indirect stake in the Company as at 31 December 2022 and 2021, are as follows:

Note 12. Provisions and Contingencies

12.1 Provisions

The balance sheet includes a balance for the amount of EUR 88.2 million in respect of provisions, EUR 145.8 million in the previous year. As indicated in Note 4.10, this heading includes the Company's commitments with staff, as well as the provisions recorded to cover the various risks and contingencies arising from transactions carried out, commitments acquired and guarantees to group companies and third parties, risks for legal claims and lawsuits, as well as potential liabilities deriving from the possible different interpretations to which the applicable legislation is open.

Movements of the fiscal year in the provisions for risks and expenses are as follows:

(thousand €) 31/12/2021 Additions Disposals 31/12/2022
Provision for retirement, seniority bonus and personnel obligations 8.187 747 (821) 8.113
Provision for onerous contracts 24.205 (12.009) 12.196
Provision for negative own funds 102.638 8.215 (57.436) 53.417
Provision for liabilities 10.786 3.648 14.434
Total 145.816 12.610 (70.266) 88.160

In respect of commitments established in supra-enterprise collective agreements, in 2022 an actuarial study has been performed to assess the past services, as defined in Note 4.10, which have been estimated at EUR 8.3 million; EUR 8.4 million in 2021. The value of assets associated with outsourced commitments in compliance with the legislation in force amounts to EUR 0.2 million; the same amount in 2021.

The assessment of these commitments undertaken by the Company has been conducted in accordance with the actuarial assumptions of the model which pertains to it, using the calculation method known as the Projected Unit Credit and the demographic assumptions established by the PER2020 tables, using a capitalisation rate of 3.23%, and a salary increase assumption of 2.82%. In addition, the probability of tenure of employees until retirement has also been applied, based on the Company's experience in respect of employees leaving the Company, giving rise to the following rotation ratios according to the employee's current age:

Rotation
Age range %
<45 9,03
45-55 3,73
>55 2,97

Changes during the fiscal year include an impact recognised in equity for the amount of EUR 0.3 million; EUR 0.4 million in 2021 (see Note 11.1 c), due to some changes occurred in the actuarial assumptions used during the calculations made.

The balance of the provision for onerous contracts at the end of 2022 amounts to EUR 12.2 million; EUR 24.2 million at the end of 2021. This provision was calculated for the hotels that in 2022 presented negative net cash flows, after discounting the relevant lease instalments. To calculate this provision, it is considered that the costs of compliance with the agreements correspond to the present value of the projected cash flows, including lease commitments, and they are compared with the costs of non-compliance with the various agreements, the lower of both amounts being allocated to the provision.

The estimate of the cash flows expected for these hotels has been carried out internally by the Company, on the basis of the operating budget for 2023 and projecting the results until the termination of the contract (without considering any extensions that have not yet been signed), based on increases in the average price of rooms according to the business plan established for 2023. The discount rate used in Spain has been 9.3%.

In the provisions for negative equity section, the additions in the fiscal year mainly relate to Sol Group Exhol, S.L., for the amount of EUR 5.8 million, and disposals relate to Markserv B.V. for the amount of EUR 32.1 million (see Annex I). In 2021, additions mainly related to Sol Group Exhol, S.L. and Bedbank Trading, S.A., for the amount of EUR 20.9 million and EUR 2.2 million, respectively.

Movements in 2021 were as follows:

(thousand €) 31/12/2020 Additions Disposals 31/12/2021
Provision for retirement, seniority bonus and personnel obligations 9.146 1.119 (2.078) 8.187

12.3 Operating Leases

As at 31 December 2022, the Company operates under operating lease a total of 47 hotels; 50 hotels in 2021.

The average term of these operating lease contracts is 4.1 years. These lease contracts have a contingent component relating to the consumer price index (CPI) and, certain agreements, other contingent component relating to the evolution of the result obtained by each hotel establishment, which is not considered in the calculation of minimum lease payments, which are broken down in the table included in this Note. The contingent instalment in 2022 amounted to EUR 2.6 million due to the evolution of the CPI; EUR 0.2 million negative in 2021, since many hotels were applied a negative CPI during that year.

Note 14. Tax Situation

In terms of taxation and income tax, the Company is subject to the Spanish tax legislation.

In 2022 and 2021, the Company has filed consolidated tax returns pursuant to Law 27/2014, of 27th November, on Corporate Income Tax (hereinafter, "LIS" according to its acronym in Spanish), under the Group number 70/98 of which Meliá Hotels International, S.A is the Parent Company ( "Tax Group").

The Tax Group comprises 39 companies which fulfil the requirements laid down for that purpose in the regulations governing taxation on consolidated profits of Groups of companies. These companies jointly determine the group's tax result, which is distributed among them, according to the criterion established by the Instituto de Contabilidad y Auditoría de Cuentas as for recognition and determination of individual tax liability.

Likewise, the Company is taxed under the Special Group of Entities Regime for the purposes of Value Added Tax (VAT) under VAT number 40/17. The number of companies comprising this group is 13. Every month, the Company submits the periodic tax returns-assessments in an aggregate form, by integrating the results of the individual self-assessment tax returns of the companies belonging to that Group of Companies.

14.1 Current Balances Receivable from and Payable to Public Administrations

As at 31 December 2022, the Company's main balances receivable from Public Administrations are: EUR 5.8 million relating to value added tax (VAT); and EUR 2.7 million relating to Corporate Income Tax, of which EUR 873 thousand relates to the Corporate Income Tax for 2022.

14.2 Years Open to Tax Inspections and Audits

According to the legislation in force, taxes cannot be deemed definitively settled until the returns submitted are audited by the tax authorities or the four-year statute of limitations has lapsed. As at 31 December 2022, the years open to review by the tax authorities for the main applicable taxes to which the Company is subject are as follows:

Years
Corporate Income Tax 2017-2021
I.G.I.C (General Indirect Canary Islands Tax) 2019-2022
VAT 2017-2022
I.R.P.F. (Income Tax) 2017-2022

As at the date of preparation of these annual accounts, the Tax Administration had already commenced a tax audit and inspection regarding the Corporate Income Tax from 2017 to 2019 and the Value Added Tax and Withholdings and Income on Account for the period between November 2017 and December 2019. Such tax audit and inspection is also carried out on other three companies belonging to the Tax Group.

As a result, among others, of the different interpretations of the current tax legislation or the assessment criteria applied in transactions with related parties, additional liabilities may arise from the said inspection. The Tax Group assesses the uncertain tax treatments and reflects the effect of the uncertainty on the taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses or unused tax credits. On this account, the Tax Group has recognised an amount of EUR 15 million under "Other deferred tax liabilities", of which EUR 13 million relates to the Company, which appropriately covers the possible obligations derived from the said inspection.

14.3 Corporate Income Tax

Benefits, determined in accordance with the tax legislation, are subject to taxation at the rate of 25% on the tax base. With effect from 1 January 2022, according to Article 30a of LIS, it is established a minimum tax rate of 15% of the tax base adjusted, where appropriate, by certain items. In 2022, the Company generated tax losses and, therefore, no current tax expense has been recognised.

The reconciliation of the net amount of income and expenses of the fiscal year and the tax base (tax result) of the corporate income tax is as follows:

(thousand €) Income Statement Income and expenses recognised

Decreases in permanent differences mainly relate to reversal of value adjustments of shareholdings in companies of the Tax Group for the amount of EUR 15 million.

Increases in permanent differences mainly relate to the application of market value to related transactions.

Temporary differences relate to non-deductible provisions during the year, which are tax deductible at the time of payment or when the liability is generated, and to non-deductible financial expenses.

For comparison purposes, the reconciliation of the net amount of income and expenses of the fiscal year 2021 and the tax base (tax result) of the corporate income tax was as follows:

The Company has established a business plan covering 10 years for the purposes of determining the recoverable value of tax credits, according to the deadlines set by tax legislation, and consequently, has determined the existence of deferred tax assets that will be applied within this period. Based on this criterion, the Company considers that it is probable that future taxable profit may lead to the recovery of all deferred tax assets, within a reasonable period and never exceeding the periods allowed by the current legislation.

14.5 Tax Group's Tax Loss

At the year end, the Tax Group has tax losses subject to compensation in future years, with the compensation not being limited in time, for the amount of EUR 300 million, of which EUR 1.2 million was generated during this year.

18.2 Environmental Risks

The fight against climate change and the environment and biodiversity protection are one of the priority strategic lines of the commitment of the Company with sustainability and the protection of tourist destinations. For this reason, the Company continues to promote an efficient and responsible hotel management model, both in the consumption of resources and the minimisation of the impact of its activity.

The Company's commitment, therefore, takes on a special significance given the nature of the activity developed and the importance of tourism in the global economy, as well as its high level of dependence on social and environmental factors, such as climate and natural resources.

Likewise, technology and sustainability are key to advance towards the decarbonisation of the Group's business model and achieve the public commitments acquired for reduction of the carbon footprint.

Progress made in the incorporation of sustainability in the entire value chain has allowed to enrich and improve the hotel renovation and building processes, designing a differential value proposal which promotes a new hotel experience that is more attractive, more responsible and more sustainable for customers, hotel owners and the various existing partners. As a result of these progresses, the renovation projects carried out in several hotels operated by the Group in the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands, were granted the Rethink Hotel award, as these projects are noteworthy in sustainability and hotel renovation since they include sustainable criteria such as energy efficiency, production of renewable energy, waste management and usage of water cycle.

In this sense, in July 2022, the Group opened the first carbon footprint-neutral hotel, based on the efficient energy management and which establishes the path for the new hotel management concepts.

In addition, in terms of management of water resources, the Group uses the tool Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, which allows to identify areas with higher risk of hydric stress globally, monitor our portfolio located in such areas and adopt the necessary preventive measures. Additionally, for the third consecutive year, the Group has voluntarily participated in the CDP Water Security, an internationally renowned ranking which measures water security and quality.

Likewise, and in line with the acquired commitments in terms of the environment and working towards the achievement of the goals set, the Company continues to promote improvement measures focused on prioritising renewable energy acquisition, promoting investments aimed at reducing emissions, and permanently monitoring energy and water consumptions in order to identify deviations, improvements and corrective actions.

Management Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

This report was prepared taking into account the "Guide of recommendations for the preparation of management reports of listed companies" published by the CNMV in July 2013.

According to the provisions of Law 11/2018 of 28th December, and pursuant to the new wording of Article 49 of the Code of Commerce, section 5, and of Article 262.5 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, the Company is exempted from the obligation to present the Non-Financial Information Statement since this information is included in the Consolidated Management Report of Meliá Hotels International Group, which parent company is Meliá Hotels International, S.A., and which will be registered, together with the Consolidated Annual Accounts, with the Commercial Registry of Palma de Mallorca.

1. Situation of the Company

1.1 Organisational Structure

Meliá Hotels International, S.A. (hereinafter, "the Company") is the parent company of the Meliá Hotels International Group (hereinafter, "the Group"), which comprises companies that are mainly engaged in tourism activities in general, and more specifically, in the management and operation of hotels under ownership, lease, management or franchise arrangements, as well as in asset management.

In any event, those activities that special laws reserve for companies which meet certain requirements that are not met by the Group, are expressly excluded from the corporate purpose. In particular, the activities that the law restricts to Collective Investment Institutions or to Stock Market intermediary firms are excluded.

The operating segments that make up the Group's organisational structure and which results are reviewed by the key decision-makers of the Company are described below:

Hotel management: This relates to the fees received for operating hotels under management and franchise agreements. It also includes the intra-group charges to the Group's hotels that are under ownership or under lease.

Hotel business: The results obtained from the operation of hotel units owned or leased by the Group are included in this segment. Likewise, income generated by the food & beverage business is also included since this activity is considered to be fully integrated into the hotel business due to the majority sale of packages which price includes room and board, and therefore, a real segmentation of the associated assets and liabilities would be unfeasible.

Other business linked to hotel management: This segment includes additional income from the hotel business, such as casinos and tour-operator activities.

Asset management: This segment includes the capital gains on asset rotation, and real estate development and operation activities.

Vacation club: It includes the results deriving from the sale of shared rights of use of specific vacation complex units.

Corporate segments: These relate to structural costs, results linked to the intermediation and marketing of room and tourist service reservations, as well as corporate costs of the Group which cannot be assigned to any of the abovementioned three business divisions.

Governance Model

Our governance model consists of, and is implemented through, a set of regulations, rules, policies, protocols, processes and procedures based on the principles of transparency and corporate governance best practices. This system regulates and develops aspects relating to the structure, composition and functioning of the governance model, as well as the principles and commitments of the Code of Ethics and the policies approved by the Board of Directors.

The Group's corporate governance structure is detailed below:

The governance bodies are governed by several regulations (Company Bylaws, Regulations of the General Shareholders' Meeting, Regulations of the Board of Directors, Code of Ethics and the Internal Code of Conduct in the Securities Market) which underpin their functioning and serve as a basis for the application of the model principles.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Functions of the Board of Directors

Following the amendment of Article 5 of the Regulations of the Board regarding its functions, in 2022, the Board of Directors exercised functions concerning:

    1. The General Shareholders' Meeting and the participation of shareholders: To call the General Shareholders' Meeting, to set the agenda, to prepare the proposals that are submitted for approval, to implement the resolutions approved by the Meeting, etc.
    1. Policies and strategies of the Company and the Group: To follow up the Group's strategic plan, to define the Group's tax strategy, to establish the shareholders' remuneration policy, etc.
    1. The organisation of the Board of Directors: To update and amend the Regulations of the Board, to monitor the effective functioning of the specialised committees, to assess the functioning of the Board, etc.
    1. The information to be provided by the Company: To prepare the annual accounts and the non-financial information statement, to approve the annual corporate governance report and the report on the remuneration of directors, etc.
    1. Remuneration of directors and executives: To propose to the General Shareholders' Meeting the appointment or ratification of directors, to follow-up the succession plan of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, etc.

Diversity

Within the framework of the new Director Selection and Diversity Policy and recommendation number 15 of the Good Governance Code of listed companies of the CNMV, since 2021, the Board of Directors of Meliá Hotels International consists of four female directors, out of a total of eleven members, which results in 36.36% of women in the Board.

Thanks to this promotion of diversity, we are part of the IBEX Gender Equality Index, the first ranking that measures the female presence in executive positions of Spanish companies and which is made up of 30 listed companies with, at least, 25% of women in their boards.

Our ambition is focused on the future, and we work to continue implementing measures that promote and ensure diversity within the entire organisation. For this reason, we have set the objective of reaching 40% of female directors in 2023, and thus complying with recommendation number 15 of the Good Governance Code of listed companies of the CNMV.

Assessment of the Board of Directors

Annually, the Board of Directors assesses the functioning and composition of the Board itself and the Committees, as well as the performance of the Top Executive of the Group. The Appointments, Remuneration and Sustainability Committee is responsible for approving and initiating this process. The report that includes the results of the assessment for 2022 is submitted to the Board of Directors during the first quarter of the following year.

Regarding compliance with recommendation number 36 of the Good Governance Code of Listed Companies, which relates to the help of an external advisor in the process for assessment of the Board, in 2022, the Appointments, Remuneration and Sustainability Committee has been assisted by the consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers for the review of the assessment questionnaires of the Board of Directors and the Top Executive.

As a result of the self-assessment process in 2021, during 2022, a training plan in sustainability, non-financial risks and cyber security has been made available to the Board.

SPECIALISED COMMITTEES

Following the changes made to the Regulations of the Board (amendment of articles 14 and 15) and to the Company Bylaws, in 2022 the functioning and functions of our specialised committees have been consolidated, by aligning them with the recommendations on good governance.

Appointments, Remuneration and Sustainability Committee

Functions:

  • To prepare the proposals for appointment and re-election of directors and senior executives, as well as their remuneration.
  • To report on any transactions that imply or may imply conflict of interest.
  • To lead the regular evaluation on the structure, size, composition and performance of the Board of Directors and specialised Committees, making recommendations as deemed necessary and appropriate in each case.
  • To ensure that the knowledge and expertise of the directors in terms of ESG are adapted to the new trends and best practices in sustainability.
  • To follow-up the strategy and practices in sustainability and assess their level of achievement in cooperation with the Sustainability Committee.
  • To propose to the Board of Directors the criteria and conditions of the Remuneration Policy and ensure their transparency.

In 2022, it is worth mentioning the Committee's focus on appointments and re-elections, because during this year several changes in the composition of the Board occurred. And also the Committee's focus on remuneration stands out, since it has continuously monitored the measures adopted in terms of remuneration of the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as well as the preparation of the proposal for long-term variable remuneration linked to the stock quotes, which was submitted to the 2022 General Shareholders' Meeting for approval.

Auditing & Compliance Committee

Functions:

  • To support the Board in monitoring the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems of the Group, serving as a communication channel with the internal and external auditors.
  • To monitor the process for preparation and submission of financial and non-financial information to the Board.
  • Compliance with the legal provisions and internal regulations.
  • Monitoring of the internal audit function.
  • Monitoring of the Risk Control & Compliance function.
  • Relationship with the external auditor of the Group (Deloitte).

In 2022, the Committee has continued to be focused on following up the transformation of the Group's internal audit function.

Senior Executive Team (SET)

The Senior Executive Team or SET is the collegiate body that drives the Meliá Hotels International's management, as well as the critical and continuous review of the business. Thus, it ensures fulfilment of the objectives set by the Board of Directors and supports the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO in his management.

In addition, the SET ensures the sustainable growth of the activity and the creation of value for shareholders, promoting the projects to be undertaken by the Group and attributed to it. It also defines priorities, allocates the required resources and ensures the achievement of the objectives set.

The SET is also responsible for providing the Board of Directors with updated, objective and sufficient information to allow the latter to carry out its supervisory functions.

1.2 Strategic Priorities

The uncertainty and the rapid change that marked the evolution of the world during the last years have been also a constant during 2022, which review for Meliá Hotels International is presented in this report. 2022 can be considered a positive year for the sector thanks to the pandemic recovery and the remarkable resilience shown by the tourism demand.

Despite the combination of factors driven in some cases by the war in Ukraine, such as problems in the energy market, international trade and inflation, along with other crises such as the climate and talent crisis, 2022 has turned out to be excellent for tourism, allowing us to practically recover pre-pandemic levels. A year that has gone from bad to better: The first quarter of the year was strongly affected by the last big wave of COVID-19, the omicron variant, but the recovery during the third quarter came at cruising speed, offering results that confirm tourism as an essential activity for citizens around the world and as a 'refuge' sector for investors.

Strategy and transformation

Given the complexity of the above situation, the behaviour and speed of recovery of companies are directly related to their ability to efficiently manage their transformation towards new social and technological realities and trends. And especially with regard to digitalisation, sustainability, innovation and repositioning of products and experiences, as well as the increased operating efficiency demanded by the competitive economic environment.

The Company has been able to manage this turbulent and volatile year, thanks to the strengths it has built up and a sound strategy that has enabled it to anticipate and capitalise on emerging trends.

Among the aforementioned strengths, our digital capabilities, consolidated over the last few years and with new developments in the area of distribution, such as the launch in 2022 of a new website and the melia.com app, which is more experiential, user-friendly and personalised; or the introduction of a new travel and experience product such as Meliá Escapes, have also helped us to capitalise on the growing trend towards digital shopping and personalisation. Meanwhile, the collaboration with agents and tour operators continues to be strengthened, which have also returned strongly to normal.

With regard to the Company's comprehensive digital transformation, which began before the pandemic was declared with the launch of the Be Digital 360 programme, major advances have been made, such as a new, more digital and efficient operating model and a digitalisation of the most transactional and lower value-added functions, together with the optimisation of the customer experience through the so-called digital stay, which, in addition to minimising friction moments such as check-in and check-out, has managed to maximise the customer's experience and comfort throughout their stay.

In a year of strong inflationary pressures, the product and brand strategy, the distribution capacity, as well as the greater efficiency obtained through the digitalisation of processes and the collaboration with some of our large suppliers, such as energy companies, have enabled us to contain and cushion, to a large extent, the impact of the generalised increase in costs on results.

Uncertainty and opportunities

Today, all analyses call for cautious and moderate optimism, for despite the strength of travel demand, which seems immune to fears of a turn in the economic cycle, uncertainty, fuelled by the risk of a chronification of the war in Ukraine and other geopolitical tensions, as well as energy and inflationary problems, remains the only certainty today.

But in the face of all these geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, there are also great opportunities for a diversified, digital and responsible company: on the one hand, the reactivation of international travel allows us to take advantage of the different levels of recovery of our major source markets. On the other hand, the digitalisation achieved will allow the Company to continue to improve efficiency in the final stretch of the inflationary crisis and to continue to benefit from the new trends in online consumption and distribution, which allow us to manage the current volatility with greater agility and flexibility.

Thirdly, but no less important, the complexity of the environment and greater awareness of sustainability offer tourism companies a great opportunity to show our social and environmental commitment, driving responsible digitalisation and promoting diversity, inclusion and the training and development of people, generating quality employment and contributing to leaving a positive impact on destinations, in compliance with the commitments made when we joined the United Nations Global Compact.

Strategy - Roadto2024

In a such a dynamic and changing context, we have adapted our global strategy by launching our new strategic road map, Roadto2024, in 2022, with the aim of providing us with a guide, very necessary in these times, to continue growing in the vacation and bleisure markets based on the principles of simplicity, transversality, governance, flexibility and agility, and always in accordance with the foundations of our culture and values as a family business.

To this effect, the road map establishes four main strategic priorities which are based on the following pillars:

  • ✓ More profitable
  • ✓ More efficient
  • ✓ More managerial
  • ✓ More sustainable

This ambition to be more profitable, more managerial, more sustainable and more efficient is associated with an ambitious cultural transformation plan, which ensures the commitment of our people, giving continuity to programmes already in place such as The Day After (our resilience programme during COVID-19), Be Digital 360 or Leading a New Future, striking the foundations for a major digital transformation as well as a new way of operating through a model adapted to the new existing reality. In the same way, this plan is called to promote new lines of action to generate a purposeful culture together with a value proposition for people.

Innovation is inherent in our strategic vision and an increasingly necessary lever in environments, such as the current one, where differentiation is key to success. Our strategic commitment includes a commitment to innovation, always open to analysing best practices in other sectors and applying them to our own.

A set of strategic projects, grouped into three programmes, are responsible for giving shape and content to our road map, where we set priorities to build on our strengths and lessons learned.

Sustainability strategy

Following the pandemic, intangible assets have become particularly relevant. Among them, sustainability stands out as one of the most transversal values. In this demanding environment, there are three major trends. The first of these is linked to regulatory changes: 2022 was the year in which the regulator focused on mitigating the risk of greenwashing.

The second trend relates to an increasingly demanding consumer. In our case, the hotel customer expects to find sustainable products, attributes and services in the hotel establishments they visit.

Finally, the third major trend has an eminently social focus. The pandemic has also reshaped consumer expectations, which are now more concerned with sustainability, health and wellbeing. From a hotel perspective, we have seen this in 2022 in the rise of bleisure travel, increased demand for accommodation with a holistic value proposition related to health and wellness, increasing digitalisation and personalisation of the customer experience.

In response to this, we have redoubled our commitment to care for our employees, focusing on their stability, training and talent development, advancing equality and diversity, and ensuring safe working environments.

We want to be a benchmark in the transformation towards a new tourism model in which sustainability is a strategic management criterion and which allows us to contribute to minimising our impact on the planet, as well as to economic and social development. This approach is materialised around a programme that we have called Responsible Business, which takes as a reference our Vision 2030 to be recognised as a world benchmark in excellence, responsibility and sustainability.

Our development on this matter has allowed us to recover the highest position, Top 1% of the sector, in the CSA of S&P Global in 2022.

In 2022, given the current complex regulatory context, the carbon footprint reduction targets have been updated with targets for 2025 and 2035, taking 2018 as the base year.

In order to lay the foundations for the consolidation of our model in 2023, we will work along different lines, among which the following stand out:

  • To accelerate our ability to adapt to regulatory requirements, extending them to all affected management areas.
  • To continue to work on data and information capture processes to respond to environmental taxonomy.
  • To prepare to be in the best position to apply the new European sustainability reporting standards in line with the new requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
  • To review and adapt our human rights due diligence model to ensure alignment with the new European human rights directive.
  • We will continue to promote the ESG risk management culture.
  • To progress in the consolidation of our sustainability governance model with the aim of permeating the entire organisation in the assumption of commitments, the definition of objectives and the promotion of the different lines of management.
  • To strengthen the data culture with the aim of putting sustainability information on an equal footing with financial information at all levels.
  • To continue our commitment to reduce our carbon footprint in line with the targets we have set ourselves, and to make progress in reducing our water footprint.
  • To explore new opportunities for further work on circular economy initiatives.
  • To put our customers internal and external, individual or corporate at the centre of our awareness-raising and sensitisation efforts so that they become an active part of the transformation.

The evolution of rooms available in 2022 compared to 2021 was as follows:

Performance

The evolution of year 2022 has been positive in general in most destinations. After a first quarter negatively impacted by the Omicron variant with a high volume of cancellations and low bookings, the second quarter of the year managed to initiate a turnaround which subsequently culminated in a third quarter that exceeded pre-pandemic revenues for the first time. The closing of the year has maintained the positive trend, confirming the general trend of the year with higher average rates and occupancies below 2019 levels, while maintaining higher RevPar. This year stands out for lastminute bookings, flexible rates and the return of the international client. This last factor is very positive, and marks the consolidation of the recovery of the business, with prospects for growth and access to new markets.

In Spain, in relation to urban hotels, the first months of the year were very difficult due to the impact of the Omicron variant. In this environment, it was the secondary destinations that performed the best, due to proximity tourism and a bleisure approach. The main destinations began to see an improvement in operations in the second quarter, where the rapid improvement in the epidemiological situation boosted the pace of bookings. The third quarter allowed us to return to 2019 figures, mainly thanks to the increase in the average rate and the return of international customers. By segment, direct customers and OTAs showed a better performance from the outset, also supported by the gradual recovery of air connectivity, which has shown a positive evolution both in the number of flights and occupancy rates. The Corporate and MICE segments showed a slower progression, with a lower number of congresses and events on an annual basis. However, those events that did take place showed a positive evolution, which, without reaching prepandemic volumes, indicate a clear change in trend. The end of the year has maintained the same trend, being for the second consecutive quarter higher in terms of RevPar than in 2019.

With respect to vacation hotels, the first part of the year was largely affected by the re-imposition of travel restrictions in Europe and the UK, which remained in place until mid-February. However, once the threat of the Omicron variant was overcome, the pace of sales picked up immediately. This allowed us to focus on a strategy of enhancing the value of our luxury hotels and superior rooms, which facilitated an average price increase. If the second quarter indicated the turnaround, the third quarter undoubtedly marked the materialisation of the recovery after a very positive summer in which we managed to exceed pre-pandemic revenues for the first time and where RevPar stood at +17.2% compared to the third quarter of 2019.

In achieving these results, the recovery of our international clientele was very important. In this regard, we not only saw a recovery of our traditional markets, but also the recovery of markets such as North America and the United Arab Emirates, where our luxury hotels have shown the highest increase in revenues and rates compared to previous years. By segments, both direct clients and OTAs and Tour Operators maintained a positive dynamic with a high trend towards lastminute bookings and flexible rates.

Outlook for 2023

Even with limited visibility, bookings show a positive trend and are higher than those recorded at the same date for the fiscal years 2019 and 2022. This is in addition to the prospects of air traffic recovery and the good performance of bookings by the Tour Operator. The MICE and Corporate segments, which have been lagging behind, also show recovery indicators in several regions, which is indicative of solid demand despite fears of a possible economic downturn in 2023. The current outlook for the start of the year therefore invites cautious optimism.

In Spain, in urban hotels the forecasts are positive, maintaining the trend of double-digit price increases and occupancy levels slightly lower than in 2019. The MICE differential vs 2019 continues to narrow, although Corporate continues with a slower recovery trend. Vacation Hotels, on the other hand, present very positive results for the first quarter, given the last minute pick-up that has been maintained at the beginning of the year. This has allowed us to exceed our forecasts, thanks to the focus, already started in 2022, on improving the average price of hotels. In the last few weeks we have seen an increase in bookings mainly in the UK, German and local markets, which in part are starting to anticipate bookings for the summer. The Canary Islands continue to be the area with the best expectations at a national level, where projects that will allow the arrival of the Paradisus brand in Europe have been initiated.

3. Risk Management

In Meliá Hotels International we have implemented a Risk Management and Control System since 2009, which is considered as a Best Practice in the industry in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment of S&P Global ESG 2022, thus allowing us to progress in the importance of establishing a risk management and control culture that provides confidence and transparency.

This model, as well as its governance, is based on three key pillars:

  • The existence of a Risk Control Policy and an internal rule, which establish the general framework for action, as well as the basic principles, guidelines or criteria that the Group's Risk Control and Management System follows to ensure complete alignment with its strategy. Both documents were updated and approved by the Auditing and Compliance Committee in 2020.
  • A structure of governance bodies with specific roles and responsibilities for risk management.
  • A system of segregation and independence of functions, which follows the model of the three lines of defence and ensures complete and integrated management of an area that cuts across the entire Group and for which the Board of Directors is ultimately responsible.

Note 5 to the annual accounts includes additional information on the management of the different financial risks to which the Company's activities are exposed: market risk (foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk, environmental risks and several geopolitical risks.

In addition, the Annual Corporate Governance Report and the Consolidated Annual Accounts explain in detail the management carried out by the Group.
