The first quarter began with stable growth in January and February but ended with an historic collapse in demand due to COVID-19 and the extraordinary steps taken by the authorities in March to reduce the spread of the virus.
As a consequence of a strong decline in economic activity in all key markets, Pandox is reporting lower revenue and net operating income for the first quarter compared with the previous year. The fall in revenue and earnings was offset to some extent by minimum and fixed rents as well as contribution from acquisitions completed previously.
At this time the occupancy rate in Pandox's key markets is 5–25 percent, depending on the market and demand segment. The situation is expected to remain the same throughout the second quarter. Most of Pandox's revenue will therefore consist of minimum and fixed rents.
Pandox was formed in 1995 as a spin-off from Securum in the Swedish financial crisis. Pandox has successfully navigated many serious crises since then and has advanced its business position each time. Today Pandox has world-class co-workers who are used to moving swiftly throughout the hotel value chain. This, combined with Pandox's past crisis experience, has made it possible to quickly organise and address important issues in this unique and challenging time. Pandox is currently focusing on three main areas: Respond, Restart and Reinvent.
Pandox has five main priorities in this area:
-
- Ensure good liquidity in order to weather the storm for an extended period. Pandox has a constructive and open dialogue with all its business partners and lenders. Per 31 March, Pandox had approximately SEK 4.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents and unutilised credit facilities.
-
- Balance revenue and costs. Revenue in the form of minimum and fixed rents amounts to around MSEK 2,000 on an annualised basis. The Group's costs have been significantly reduced and are now on a par with revenue.
-
- Stay alive! Pandox is keeping its hotels open as far as possible. From a cost perspective the difference is marginal between keeping a hotel open with limited service and closing it. By keeping hotels open we are maintaining a presence and showing optimism. We are also in contact with the local markets and will be first out of the starting blocks when business picks up again.
-
- Ready to act to defend the value of our hotel properties. Pandox has the capacity to take over and operate hotels in hotel properties we already own. At the beginning of April Pandox took over the operation of Hotel Mayfair and Hotel Twentyseven – both centrally located in Copenhagen.
-
- Open, active and present leadership – we don't shy away! I'm very proud of my colleagues at Pandox who are showing such a strong team spirit in this very difficult situation.
Pandox believes that the activity level in the economy and hotel market has now bottomed out. Even if it is hard to assess when a recovery can be expected to take place, it is important to create a vision for what it could look like. We believe that the hotel market will develop in different phases. Based on experience from previous crises, it is likely that demand from the leisure and business segment will come back to life first, and that it will take longer for large meetings and group travel. The pace and strength of the recovery will depend entirely on how and at what pace the authorities choose to open each country/market and what type of restrictions remain in place. A possible new wave of infection is the main risk factor.
It is likely that the current low occupancy rates will continue until mid-May when many countries are expected to ease certain restrictions. Based on development in China – where the hotel market is now growing from a low level – it is most likely not until June—July before we can expect to see some increase in occupancy rates and a gradual reopening of hotels in Europe. Provided that the easing of restrictions continues without setbacks, most of the hotels should be able to be open in September with a possible occupancy rate in Europe of around 25 percent, or potentially somewhat higher. The meeting segment for smaller groups will probably have started to show signs of recovery by then as well. Provided that the easing of restrictions continues without major setbacks, an occupancy rate of around 40 percent or potentially somewhat higher – depending on the market, situation and demand profile – could be possible in Europe by the end of the fourth quarter.
Pandox expects budget and mid-range hotels with a domestic and regional demand profile – in locations easily reached by car or train – to develop the best once the market turns around. This is also the segment in which Pandox has most of its hotel properties. The recovery will probably take a longer time for international luxury and premium hotels.
Although Pandox's primary focus is on efforts to alleviate the acute crisis, it is important to start trying to understand how the hotel market may change due to COVID-19. We have started this work in close cooperation with international hotel companies. Exactly what changes will come is too soon to say, but it is clear that there will be new demands placed on both our operating structure and hotel properties. Requirements with respect to increased cleaning and sanitising, social distancing and restrictions on larger groups will probably remain in place for a long time.
Based on continuing extensive restrictions in all Pandox's key markets, the negative impact on earnings is expected to be significantly greater in the second quarter. Pandox is hoping that the second quarter could be the bottom from which the hotel market will gradually be able to recover in the second half of the year. With a strong financial position, good liquidity and balance between revenue and costs, Pandox remains in a good position to not only weather the storm but also strengthen its business position.
Pandox is monitoring and evaluating the business situation on an ongoing basis and is in close dialogue with business partners in the business segment Property Management regarding earnings development and liquidity for the respective party. Contractual minimum guaranteed rent and fixed rent, combined, amount to the equivalent of approximately MSEK 2,000 on an annualised basis.
Discussions are under way on temporary changes to payment terms where this is possible. Tenants have also taken advantage of government relief regulations relating to COVID-19 that make it possible to defer rent payment for a certain period of time (see the section "Government relief programmes" below).
On 2 April 2020 Pandox took over the operation of two hotels in central Copenhagen in line with the Company's strategy to secure the value of the hotel properties and ensure their long-term development potential. The hotels were reclassified from the Property Management segment to Operator Activities on the same date.
For more information, see pages 5, 6 and 20.
Pandox has taken powerful actions in the business segment Operator Activities in the form of staff reductions and increased coordination of operations between hotels. The business situation in each individual market is evaluated on an ongoing basis with consideration for Pandox's guests and employees, as well as government requirements. The hotels will remain open with limited service to the extent possible.
For more information, see pages 5, 6 and 20.
Through active cost-saving measures, mainly within the business segment Operator Activities, Pandox's total costs are now on a par with revenue from minimum and fixed rents.
For more information, see pages 5 and 6.
Planned investments in 2020 amount to the equivalent of around MSEK 550, of which around MSEK 50 is for maintenance. Practical limitations due to COVID-19 in most of Pandox's markets can, however, mean that the planned investment volume may not be fully reached in 2020.
For more information, see page 7.
At the end of the first quarter of 2020, Pandox has valued the hotel properties according to the same method and model used since the IPO in 2015. The valuation model is an established and accepted model where the future cash flows the hotel properties are expected to generate are discounted by a valuation yield obtained from external property appraisers.
Due to uncertainty about the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the economy in general, it is also more difficult to assess future cash flows and valuation yields for Pandox's hotel properties.
Due to COVID-19, no external valuations have been made in the first quarter, partly because it has not been possible to conduct physical inspections of the hotel properties. In the first quarter the hotel property market value was adjusted downwards as a result of lower anticipated cash flows in 2020 as a direct result of COVID-19. Effects on valuation
yields have, however, not been possible to establish due, among other things, to insufficient evidence from the transaction markets for hotel properties.
The valuation effects will be monitored closely in coming quarters, as both valuation yields and future cash flows are expected to be able to be estimated with greater precision.
For more information, see pages 7 and 18.
Pandox has a strong financial position. As of 31 March 2020, the loanto-value ratio net was 47.2 percent and cash and cash equivalents plus unutilised credit facilities amounted to MSEK 4,309.
In addition, there are other credit facilities that fully cover the issued volume under Pandox's commercial paper programme in which MSEK 1,775 had been issued as of 31 March 2020.
Pandox's debt financing consists exclusively of credit facilities from eleven Nordic and international banks secured mainly by mortgage collateral. In 2020 credit facilities worth MSEK 5,822 will mature – the majority of them at the end of 2020.
New financing of MSEK 935 for previously completed acquisitions was secured in the first quarter.
Pandox has a positive and close dialogue with its lenders on refinancing, new financing and adjustment of terms in existing credit agreements with consideration to COVID-19.
For more information, see pages 8 and 9.
The number of shareholders doubled in March, amounting to around 7,500 as of 31 March 2020.
As a consequence of the deteriorating business situation and great uncertainty about the market development and in order to further strengthen the Company's financial position, Pandox's Board of Directors decided on 17 March 2020 to withdraw its previous dividend proposal for 2019 of SEK 3.60 per share.
Pandox has operations in 15 countries. The government relief programmes that have been launched vary significantly from country to country. The relief is in the form of lay-off/furlough support and business loans with varying degrees of state guarantees.
In certain countries, such as Denmark and Germany and to some extent Norway, there are programmes that cover a specific percentage of companies' fixed costs. There is in general no rent support for property owners. On the other hand, tenants in Germany and the UK can opt to delay rent payment during the second quarter and capitalise and pay the rent in arrears over an extended period.
Pandox has taken advantage of relief programmes in Operator Activities in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Canada.
To address the financial impact for Pandox due to COVID-19, certain tax actions have been taken, for example re-assessment of advance corporate tax payments, deferral of VAT payments and property tax. Pandox has taken a cautious approach regarding certain relief support which entails additional cost e.g. interest and deferral of tax payments, to lower the one-time impact when the COVID-19 crisis is over and the support packages expire.
Pandox is continuously monitoring all new tax incentives that are presented in all jurisdictions and will act when appropriate.
2019 was another in a series of strong years for the global hospitality industry. According to UNWTO the number of international arrivals increased by around 4 percent globally to 1.5 billion, which is a record in absolute figures. In Europe RevPAR increased by 2 percent for the full year and the hotel industry looked forward to continued stability in 2020 – albeit with slightly lower anticipated growth in demand and slightly higher expected growth in supply of hotel rooms.
The year started in line with expectations and RevPAR increased by a total of 0.4 percent in January and February in Europe. Certain European markets were already being impacted at that time by the outbreak of COVID-19 in China and other countries in Western Asia due to a weaker inbound travel market. The negative trend then picked up speed when airlines cancelled flights and many countries closed their borders.
When the WHO confirmed that COVID-19 was a pandemic on 11 March, numerous restrictions were introduced in many countries. With respect to domestic and international travel, these included guidelines for certain business and conference activities as well as social distancing aimed at preventing the rapid spread of the virus and avoiding overloading health care systems. Certain countries, such as Germany, France, Norway and Finland acted faster and imposed stricter restrictions than other countries, such as the UK.
RevPAR in Europe decreased as a whole by around 25 percent in the quarter, mainly due to lower occupancy, but average prices were also negatively impacted (-2 percent). RevPAR decreased gradually throughout the month of March, initially through a fall in demand from Asian inbound markets. Meanwhile, conference activity declined sharply or was cancelled altogether. Altogether RevPAR decreased by around 65 percent in March, with most of the demand in all segments disappearing in the final week.
The picture is similar in all countries and markets. Italy, which experienced the crisis early, had the biggest RevPAR decline in March (-93 percent) while the UK, where measures were introduced later, saw a slightly lower decline (-55 percent).
The Nordic region experienced a similar trend to Europe as a whole. However, the Nordic countries, except for Denmark, maintained their average prices relatively well and experienced a positive trend compared to the previous year.
In Sweden and Norway RevPAR decreased by around 20 percent in the quarter, while RevPAR in Copenhagen and Denmark decreased by around 30 percent, partly due to a weaker start to the year compared to the rest of the Nordic countries.

Revenue from Property Management amounted to MSEK 672 (685), a decrease of 2 percent. For comparable units revenue decreased by 11 percent, adjusted for currency effects. The decrease is explained by the extraordinary steps taken by the authorities in response to COVID-19 and mainly affected March negatively. The negative effects of COVID-19 in the quarter were offset to some extent by stable positive market development in January and February, as well as good development of the acquisitions implemented over the previous 12 months.
The previously communicated change in property tax accounting in the UK and Ireland reduced other property revenue by around MSEK 21 in the quarter compared with 2019.
Revenue from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 419 (506), a decrease of 17 percent. For comparable units revenue and RevPAR decreased by 25 and 30 percent respectively, adjusted for currency effects.
Here too, the decline is explained by the extraordinary steps taken by the authorities in response to COVID-19. A small portion of the decrease can also be attributed to the effect of renovations reducing revenue at Hotel Indigo Brussels City and Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow Airport. Recent acquisitions of Novotel Den Haag World Forum and Novotel Hannover made a certain positive contribution to the quarter.
The Group's net sales amounted to MSEK 1,091 (1,191). For comparable units net sales decreased by 17 percent, adjusted for currency effects.
Revenue from Property Management amounted to MSEK 561 (583), a decrease of 4 percent. For comparable units revenue decreased by 12 percent, adjusted for currency effects.
Net operating income from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 20 (95), a decrease of 79 percent. For comparable units revenue decreased by 78 percent, adjusted for currency effects, explained entirely by steps taken by the authorities in response to COVID-19. Powerful actions have been taken in the form of staff reductions and increased coordination of operations between hotels.
Total net operating income amounted to MSEK 581 (678), a decrease of 14 percent.
Central administration costs amounted to MSEK -47 (-43).
EBITDA amounted to MSEK 538 (639), a decrease of 16 percent.
Financial expenses amounted to MSEK -228 (-207), of which MSEK -16 (-14) consists of depreciation of capitalised loan arrangement fees.
Financial income amounted to MSEK 2 (2).
Financial expenses associated with right-of-use assets amounted to MSEK -22 (-19).
Profit before changes in value amounted to MSEK 229 (364), a decrease of 37 percent.
Unrealised changes in value for Investment Properties amounted to MSEK -611 (131) and is explained by lower anticipated future cash flows in 2020.
Unrealised changes in value of derivatives amounted to MSEK -359 (-139).
Current tax amounted to MSEK -27 (-46), which is mainly explained by intra-Group equalisation and other adjustments. That current tax is charged despite a negative result is explained by full intra-Group equalisation, for example across countries, not being possible. The deferred tax expense amounted to MSEK 100 (97). See also page 9 and the section "Deferred tax".
Profit for the period amounted to MSEK -688 (407) and profit for the period attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK -667 (407), which is equivalent to SEK -3.63 (2.43) per share.
Cash earnings amounted to MSEK 262 (367), a decrease of 29 percent.

Rental income and other property revenue amounted to MSEK 672 (685). The decrease is a consequence of the extraordinary steps taken by the authorities in response to COVID-19, which had a significantly negative effect in March. The decrease in rental income was limited to some extent by the fact that many of Pandox's leases contain minimum rent provisions and that the percentage of fixed rents was higher than in the corresponding period the previous year. Additionally, market development in January and February was stable and positive, and recently completed acquisitions developed according to plan.
Adjusted for the change in property tax accounting in the UK and Ireland (see "Financial development January–March" on page 5), revenue increased by 1 percent compared to the corresponding period the previous year.
Net operating income amounted to MSEK 561 (583), a decrease of 4 percent.
For comparable units revenue decreased by 11 percent, while net operating income decreased by 12 percent, adjusted for currency effects.
Rental growth in the comparable portfolio was negative in most countries.
Individual hotel markets that saw rental income growth were Wolfsburg, Vienna, Düsseldorf, Bergen, Belfast, Kolmården and Tampere.
In Stockholm rental income decreased by 20 percent during the quarter. In Oslo and Copenhagen, the decreases were 21 and 20 percent, respectively.

Revenue from Operator Activities amounted to MSEK 419 (506), a decrease of 17 percent. The decrease is a consequence of the extraordinary steps taken by the authorities in response to COVID-19, which had a significantly negative effect in March. The quarter was also negatively affected by the effects of renovations reducing revenue at Hotel Indigo Brussels City and Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow Airport. The hotels taken over in December 2019, Novotel Den Haag World Forum and Novotel Hannover, contributed MSEK 29 in revenue for the quarter.
Net operating income amounted to MSEK 20 (95), a decrease of 79 percent.
The net operating margin was 4.8 (18.8) percent.
For comparable units revenue decreased by 25 percent while net operating income decreased by 78 percent, adjusted for currency effects.
For comparable units RevPAR decreased by 30 percent, adjusted for currency effects.
Powerful actions were taken in the first quarter in the form of staff reductions and increased coordination of operations between hotels, the full impact of which is expected in the second quarter.


At the end of the period, Pandox's property portfolio had a total market value of MSEK 65,345 (63,469), of which Investment Properties accounted for MSEK 55,357 (53,697) and Operating Properties for MSEK 9,988 (9,772). As of the same date the carrying amount of the Operating Properties portfolio was MSEK 7,209 (6,857).
At the end of the period, Investment Properties had a weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) of 15.3 years (15.8).
During the quarter, Pandox took over one Investment Property in Nuremberg, Germany as well as
complementary premises in the hotel property that accommodates Jurys Inn Cardiff in the UK.
On 2 April, 2020, Pandox took over the operation of Hotel Mayfair and Hotel Twentyseven in Copenhagen, which were simultaneously reclassified from Property Management to Operator Activities.

At the end of the period the loan-to-value net was 47.2 (46.0) percent. Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 26,237 (26,350). EPRA NAV (net asset value) amounted to MSEK 34,375 (34,270), equivalent to SEK 186.97 (186.40) per share. Liquid funds plus unutilised credit facilities amounted to MSEK 4,309 (4,215). In addition, there are additional credit facilities that, at any given time, fully cover the issued volume under the Pandox commercial paper programme.
At the end of the period the loan portfolio amounted to MSEK 32,083 (29,824), excluding loan arrangement fees. Unutilised credit facilities amounted to MSEK 3,089 (3,583).
At the end of the period the volume issued under the commercial paper programme amounted to MSEK 1,775 (1,688) in various tenors ranging from 1 to 12 months.
In the first quarter, liquidity was further strengthened by refinancing of three previously completed acquisitions, amounting to approximately MSEK 935 with a maturity of 3 years.
The average fixed rate period was 3.5 (3.8) years and the average interest rate, corresponding to the interest rate level at the end of the period, was 2.5 (2.6) percent, including effects from interest-rate derivatives, but excluding accrued arrangement fees. The average repayment period was 3.1 (3.3) years. The loans are secured by a combination of mortgage collateral and pledged shares.

To reduce the currency exposure in foreign investment Pandox's aim is to finance the applicable portion of the investment in local currency. Equity is normally not hedged as Pandox's strategy is to have a long investment perspective. Currency exposures are largely in form of currency translation effects.

In order to manage interest rate risk and increase the predictability of Pandox's earnings, interest rate derivatives are used, mainly in the form of interest rate swaps. At the end of the period interest rate derivatives amounted to MSEK 26,714 gross and MSEK 21,745 net, which is also the portion of Pandox's loan portfolio for which interest rates are hedged. Approximately 59 percent of Pandox's loan portfolio was thereby hedged against interest rate movements for periods longer than one year.

The market value of the derivatives portfolio is measured on each closing date, with the change in value recognised in profit or loss. Upon maturing, the market value of a derivative contract is dissolved entirely and the change in value over time thus does not affect equity.
At the end of the period, the net market value of Pandox's financial derivatives amounted to MSEK -936 (-577).
At the end of the period, the deferred tax assets amounted to MSEK 546 (383). These represent mainly the book value of tax loss carry forwards which the Company expects to be able to use in upcoming fiscal years, and temporary measurement differences for interest rate derivatives. Deferred tax liabilities amounted to MSEK 4,623 (4,552) and relate mainly to temporary differences between fair value and the taxable value of Investment Properties, as well as temporary differences between the book value and the taxable value of Operating Properties.

At the end of the period, Pandox had the equivalent of 1,229 (1,325) fulltime employees. Of the total number of employees, 1,183 (1,286) are employed in the Operator Activities segment and 46 (39) in the Property Management segment and in central administration.
Pandox's green investment programme of MEUR 8 remains in place but the time frame for completion has been extended from 2023 to 2024 due to practical conditions relating to COVID-19. The investment programme focuses on projects to reduce energy and water consumption and on technical installations. The programme is expected to generate an average return of around 20 percent.
Administration for activities within Pandox's property owning companies is provided by staff employed by the Parent Company, Pandox AB (publ). Pandox's subsidiaries are invoiced for these services. Amounts invoiced during the January-March 2020 period totalled MSEK 30 (27), and profit for the period amounted to MSEK -175 (95).
At the end of the period the Parent Company's equity amounted to MSEK 8,914 (9,089) and the interest-bearing debt was MSEK 6,822 (6,305), of which MSEK 4,351 (3,427) was in the form of long-term debt.
The Parent Company carries out transactions with subsidiaries in the Group. Such transactions mainly entail allocation of centrally incurred administration cost and interest relating to receivables and liabilities. All related party transactions are entered into on market terms.
Eiendomsspar AS owns 5.1 percent of 22 hotel properties in Germany and 9.9 percent of another hotel property in Germany. The acquisitions were made by Pandox in 2015, 2016 and 2019.
The management agreement regarding Pelican Bay Lucaya Report in the Bahamas owned by affiliates of Helene Sundt AS and CGS Holding AS is still in place. During the first quarter revenue from Pelican Bay Lucaya amounted to MSEK 0.2 (0.4).
Pandox applies the European Securities and Market Authority's (ESMA) guidelines for Alternative Performance Measurements. The guidelines aim at making alternative Performance Measurements in financial reports more understandable, trustworthy and comparable and thereby enhance their usability. According to these guidelines, an Alternative Performance Measurement is a financial key ratio of past or future earnings development, financial position, financial result or cash flows which are not defined or mentioned in current legislation for financial reporting; IFRS and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Reconciliations of Alternative Performance Measurements are available on pages 15-16.
At the end of the period, the total number of shares before and after dilution amounted to 75,000,000 A shares and 108,849,999 B shares. For the first quarter 2020 the weighted number of shares before and after dilution amounted to 75,000,000 A shares and 108,849,999 B shares.
Pandox seeks to achieve the lowest possible financing cost while simultaneously limiting the Company's interest rate, currency and liquidity risks. Pandox's approach is that increased financing cost resulting from moderate changes in interest rates is often compensated for by higher operating income due to increased economic activity. Also, Pandox has a loan portfolio with staggered maturities and fixed interest periods where the Company enters into interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate levels for a certain portion of the debt portfolio.
A significant amount of Pandox's operations are in countries outside Sweden and the Company is therefore exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Pandox reduces currency exposure in foreign investments primarily by taking out loans in local currencies. In general, foreign operations report both income and costs in the local currency, which limits currency exposure in current flows.
Pandox aims to have a diversified loan portfolio in terms of the number of lenders, concentration and maturities in order to manage liquidity risk.
Pandox's financial risks and risk management are described on pages 130–133 of the 2019 Annual Report.
Pandox defines risk as a factor of uncertainty that may affect the Company's ability to fulfil its objectives. It is therefore of utmost importance that Pandox is able to identify and assess these factors of uncertainty.
Pandox's strategy is to invest in hotel properties with revenue-based leases with the best hotel operators, and also to be able to operate hotels itself when necessary. Based on this strategy, Pandox has classified risk in five categories: strategy risk, operational risk, financial risk, external risk and sustainability risk.
Pandox's risk management work is described on pages 84–88 in the section "Risk and risk management" in the 2019 Annual Report.
Besides the effects of COVID-19 described on page 3, there has been no significant change to Pandox's risk assessment after the publication of the 2019 Annual Report.
The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. The periods during which the Company's properties experience higher revenues vary from property to property, depending principally upon location and the customer base served. Since most of the customers that stay at Pandox owned or operated hotels are business travellers, the Company's total revenues have historically been greater particularly in the second quarter. The timing of holidays and major events can also impact the Company's quarterly results.
This report contains forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed, due to various factors, many of which are beyond the control of Pandox.
The report has been translated from Swedish. The Swedish text shall govern for all purposes and prevail in the event of any discrepancy.
