PPHE Hotel Group Limited
("PPHE", "PPHE Hotel Group" or the "Group")
Unaudited Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2026
Good first half financial and operating performance
PPHE Hotel Group, the international hospitality real estate group which develops, owns and operates hotels and resorts, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (the "Period").
Commenting on the results, Greg Hegarty, Co-Chief Executive Officer, PPHE Hotel Group said:
"Whilst the conclusion of the Strategic Review and Offer period was a significant moment, this has not distracted from our core focus on delivering continued financial progress from our high-quality hotel and leisure assets. We have delivered RevPAR* growth and materially higher average room rates*, leading to an improved EBITDA* performance despite continuing macro and fiscal headwinds.
The conclusion of the Strategic Review has re-affirmed our strategic priority to maximise shareholder value through a combination of operational delivery alongside balance sheet simplification. Further opportunities remain to enhance value, from within the balance sheet and development pipeline alongside our recently opened hotels as they become increasingly established in their markets.
Overall, revenue and EBITDA* performance in H1 has been encouraging and the Group continues to trade in line with consensus expectations for FY26."
Trading and financial highlights
|
· |
Total revenue increased by 4.7% to £209.3 million, benefiting from a strong performance from the Group's UK properties, maturing of recently opened properties, and a favourable Euro to Sterling exchange rate. Like-for-like*2, total revenue increased by 5.5%.
|
|
· |
RevPAR* was up 3.9% at £113.5, driven by a 4.2% increase in average room rate* to £157.3 and stable occupancy. Like-for-like*2 RevPAR* was up 3.1% and average room rate* was up 3.2%.
|
|
· |
EBITDA* increased by 6.3% to £48.4 million, which reflected revenue growth and a focus on costs, partially offset by higher business rate costs in the UK. EBITDA margin* was 40 bps higher at 23.1%. Like-for-like*2, EBITDA* grew by 8.0% and EBITDA margin* was 23.5%.
|
|
· |
Adjusted EPRA earnings per share* of 125 pence for the last 12 months (LTM)* ended 30 June 2026 was in line with the 125 pence reported for the 12 months ended 31 December 2025.
|
|
· |
The Board has approved the payment of an interim dividend of 17 pence per ordinary share for the period ended 30 June 2026.
|
|
· |
EPRA NRV per share* as at 30 June 2026 decreased by 1.4% to £26.97 (31 December 2025: £27.35), this decrease is largely due to foreign exchange results and dividend distribution in the first half year. Annual external valuations will be performed in December 2026. |
Strategic highlights and future growth
|
· |
Acquisition of the freehold of Park Plaza London Waterloo for £147.9 million, funded by a new £136.5 million loan facility from Bank Hapoalim. This acquisition has both simplified and strengthened the Group's balance sheet, whilst removing a growing rental liability. Although in the medium-term cash flow will be impacted by bank loan repayment instalments, in the long term this acquisition is expected to be accretive to both earnings and free cash generation.
|
|
· |
Entered into a new agreement to refinance its loan in relation to art'otel Rome Via Veneto in Italy, with a new five-year facility of €27.6 million.
|
|
· |
Disposal of development site in New York for US$ 33.5 million post balance sheet date, providing the opportunity to redeploy capital into the Group's core geographic regions.
|
|
· |
A key focus for the year has been on optimising our maturing and recently opened hotels as they become further established in their markets.
|
Current trading and outlook
|
· |
Trading across the Group's city locations has remained consistent with trends seen in the first half, particularly the Group's UK properties which continue to perform strongly. In Croatia, the Group expects the gradual improvement in momentum seen in the first half of the year to continue through the summer season.
|
|
· |
Notwithstanding the wider geopolitical volatility and fiscal headwinds impacting FY26 and beyond, the Board expects to deliver results for the financial year ending 31 December 2026 in line with market expectations1 |
1 At 26 August 2026, the Company compiled analysts' consensus forecast range for the financial year ending 31 December 2026 showed a revenue range of £475.0 million to £483.0 million and an EBITDA* range of £140.0 million to £147.0 million.
2 The like-for-like* figures exclude the results from art'otel Rome Via Veneto for Q1 2026 and Q1 2025 and the results of the terminated leasehold of Park Plaza Wallstreet Berlin Mitte.

BUSINESS & FINANCIAL REVIEW
CONCLUSION OF STRATEGIC REVIEW
In November 2025, the Board announced that it was undertaking a strategic review to consider a range of potential options to maximise value for all shareholders (the "Strategic Review). In connection with the Strategic Review, the Takeover Panel agreed that any discussions with third parties in relation to an offer for the Company would take place within the context of a "formal sale process" (the Formal Sale Process).
On 27 May 2026, the Board received an indicative proposal from Fattal Hotel Group (Fattal) regarding a possible cash offer for the Company (the Fattal Proposal). The Board evaluated the Fattal Proposal together with its independent financial adviser and unanimously determined that the Fattal Proposal represented fair value. At this point, the Board formed an independent offer committee (Independent Committee).
The Independent Committee then consulted widely with a significant proportion of shareholders to seek feedback on the Fattal Proposal. During that consultation process, Euro Plaza Holdings (PPHE's largest shareholder holding approximately 33% of the issued share capital) informed the Independent Committee that it was opposed to the Fattal Proposal. Having been informed that Fattal would not be prepared to proceed with the Fattal Proposal in circumstances where Euro Plaza Holdings were opposed to such an offer, on 19 June 2026 the Independent Committee announced that it had concluded that the Fattal Proposal was not capable of being delivered. Shortly thereafter, on 19 June, Fattal announced that it did not intend to make an offer for the Company.
On 2 July 2026, the Company announced that it was no longer in discussions with any party in relation to any proposal for a potential sale of the Company that the Board considered to be deliverable and that it had concluded the Strategic Review and Formal Sales Process. Accordingly, it was not in receipt of any approach and ceased to be in an Offer Period.
Despite the fact that the Strategic Review did not result in a firm offer for shareholders it did, however, facilitate a deeper discussion around the future strategy of the Group. The Board has concluded that shareholders' interests are best served by seeking to maximise shareholder value through a clear focus on operational delivery and further balance sheet simplification. There remain a number of opportunities to simplify, de-risk and crystallise significant value across the Group balance sheet structure, existing portfolio of assets and development pipeline. The strategic actions already delivered in the first half are fully aligned with these strategic priorities and the Board looks forward to updating the market further.
BUSINESS REVIEW
The Group has reported revenue and EBITDA* growth in the first half of the year, driven by a strong performance from the United Kingdom in particular. This performance was achieved despite a number of external factors, including the Middle East conflict and increased government taxes in the UK and the Netherlands, which have affected consumer confidence and operating costs.
Reported revenue increased by 4.7% to £209.3 million and reported EBITDA* improved by 6.3% to £48.4 million. The overall performance benefitted from recent investments in new and repositioned properties, a strong performance in London and a favourable Euro to Sterling currency conversion rate.
On a like-for-like* basis, excluding contributions from art'otel Rome Via Veneto in Rome (previously called art'otel Rome Piazza Sallustio) for Q1 2026 and Q1 2025 and the contributions from Park Plaza Wallstreet Berlin Mitte, revenue was up 5.5% to £208.3 million and like-for-like* EBITDA* increased by 8.0% to £49.0 million, with an EBITDA margin* of 23.5% (H1 2025: 23.0%).
The Group's recently opened properties, including art'otel London Hoxton, art'otel Zagreb and art'otel Rome Via Veneto continue to mature and build their positions in these markets. The acquisition and disposal completed during the period, alongside funding and refinancing, have de-risked the Group's balance sheet and strengthened its property portfolio in London.
Update on corporate activity
Sale of New York site
On 18 February 2026, the Group announced that one of its subsidiaries had entered into an agreement for the sale of its development site located in Manhattan, New York, for a purchase price of $33.5 million. The transaction was completed after the balance sheet date, and the sale proceeds were used to repay the associated debt of $6.75 million, with the balance of funds to be deployed in accordance with the Group's capital allocation strategy.
Acquisition of Park Plaza London Waterloo freehold
On 27 February 2026, the Group entered into an agreement to acquire the freehold of Park Plaza London Waterloo for £147.9 million. The acquisition was funded by a new £136.5 million five-year facility entered into with long-term strategic partner, Bank Hapoalim. Approximately 90% of the new facility bears an all-in interest rate of 5.853% for a period of two years, with the remaining period and balance at a floating rate. The acquisition and funding were completed on 17 June 2026.
In 2017, the Group entered into a sale and leaseback transaction whereby it sold its interest in the hotel for £161.5 million and leased the property back under a long-term finance lease arrangement. As a result, the hotel remained recognised on the Group's balance sheet as a leasehold liability. Annual rent uplifts, combined with EBITDA* growth that did not keep pace due to significant increases in staff, energy and tax costs, led to a gradual annual decline in the leasehold valuation. The transaction stopped this annual decline and increased the Group's freehold exposure, providing protection from expected future rental uplifts, whilst further simplifying and de-risking the Group's balance sheet position. The freehold acquisition was made at an attractive initial yield and we expect that it will enhance both earnings and free cash generation over time.
The acquisition was accounted for as a termination of the existing lease arrangement and acquisition of the underlying freehold interest. The transaction resulted in a non-cash accounting gain of £145.6 million, recognised within other income.
Refinance of art'otel Rome Via Veneto
On 16 February 2026, the Group entered into a new agreement to refinance its loan in relation to art'otel Rome Via Veneto in Italy. Under the terms of the new facility, the €27.6 million (£24.1 million) loan has a five-year term and carries a fixed interest rate of 4.8% and requires no amortisation during the term of the loan.
Longer-term development pipeline
Alongside a focus on driving maturation of the recently opened properties, the Group continues to assess longer-term opportunities to enhance its existing assets through redevelopment and repositioning investment programmes as well as seeking opportunities in new and existing markets.
The Group currently has four longer-term development sites in London. Close to the City of London, a mixed-use development site is earmarked for a 182-room select-service Radisson RED lifestyle hotel. On the South Bank, planning has been granted for a mixed-use development, including an 186-room hotel. In Victoria, the Group is progressing its 79-room subterranean hotel at its Park Plaza London Victoria property. In West London, planning has been granted for a 616-room aparthotel on land adjacent to Park Plaza London Park Royal, incorporating long-stay accommodation features that align with extended-stay and co-living market trends, pursuant to the approved hotel management plan. These projects are currently under review to achieve maximum shareholder value.
Shareholder returns
The Group has a progressive dividend policy and is committed to delivering value to shareholders.
The Board has proposed an interim dividend of 17 pence per share (H1 2025: 17 pence per share), which will be paid on 16 October 2026 to those shareholders on the register at the close of business on 18 September 2026. This will return £7.1 million to shareholders.
Current trading and outlook
Since the end of June, trading across the Group's city locations has remained consistent with the trends seen in the first half, particularly the Group's UK properties which continue to perform strongly. In Croatia, the Group expects the gradual improvement in momentum seen during the first half to continue through the summer season.
Notwithstanding the wider geopolitical volatility and fiscal headwinds impacting FY26 and beyond, the Board expects to deliver results for the financial year ending 31 December 2026 in line with market expectations1.
1 At 26 August 2026, the Company compiled analysts' consensus forecast range for the financial year ending 31 December 2026 showed a revenue range of £475.0 million to £483.0 million and an EBITDA* range of £140.0 million to £147.0 million.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Carbon and energy
Following the submission of the Group's targets to SBTi (Science-Based Target Initiative) in December 2025, these were validated in Q2 2026. SBTi's validation means that PPHE Hotel Group now has formal near-term emissions targets for 2035, as well as long-term emissions targets and net zero targets for 2050, covering both direct operations and supply chain emissions (Scopes 1, 2 and 3).
Building certifications
The Group continues to advance its BREEAM In-Use certification programme across Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London, Park Plaza London Riverbank, art'otel London Hoxton and art'otel Rome Via Veneto. Certification applications for several properties are progressing through BRE's review process, while the remaining submissions are expected to be finalised by the end of Q3 2026.
Waste management
By partnering with external specialists, the Group has been improving its waste management practices since the beginning of 2024. This resulted in increased recycling rates in 2025, reduced waste management costs and further progress was made in H1 2026, with clear, bespoke targets for each property. The Group is also continuing to phase out single-use plastic items from bedrooms across the portfolio and is aiming to complete this process by early 2027.
People and communications
The Group conducts pulse surveys for team members every eight months, which are instrumental in measuring progress on metrics such as team member engagement and wellbeing. In H1 2026, ESG communications were enhanced to increase awareness and engagement with the ESG strategy, both internally through more regular content on the Group's intranet and externally through increased presence on social media.

1 Percentage change figures are calculated from actual figures as opposed to the rounded figures included in the above table.
2 The like-for-like* figures exclude the results from art'otel Rome Via Veneto for Q1 2026 and Q1 2025 and the results of the terminated leasehold of Park Plaza Wallstreet Berlin Mitte.
3 The room revenue, average room rate*, occupancy and RevPAR* statistics include all accommodation units at hotels and self-catering apartment complexes and exclude campsites and mobile homes.
Reported total revenue for the first half was £209.3 million, which represented an increase of 4.7% (H1 2025: £199.9 million). On a like-for-like2 basis, total revenue was up 5.5%.
The Group reported an encouraging start to 2026, driven by strong demand across the Group's London portfolio which continued throughout Q2. In H1 2026, the Group's properties in the United Kingdom delivered revenue and EBITDA* growth, supported by higher average room rates* and stable occupancy. In the Netherlands, the hotel market was more challenging due to the introduction of a higher VAT rate for accommodation effective from January 2026, which, as anticipated, suppressed RevPAR* growth. In Croatia, revenue improved as the properties re-opened for the summer season. Trading in Germany delivered RevPAR* growth through improved average room rate*. The overall reported financial performance benefited from a stronger Euro to Sterling currency exchange rate compared to H1 2025.
Reported RevPAR* for H1 increased by 3.9% to £113.5 (H1 2025: £109.3), driven by a 4.2% increase in average room rate* to £157.3 and stable occupancy. Like-for-like2 RevPAR* was £113.8, reflecting a 3.2% increase in average room rate*.
Reported EBITDA* for H1 2026 grew by 6.3% to £48.4 million (H1 2025: £45.5 million), which led to an improved EBITDA margin* of 23.1% (H1 2025: 22.8%). Like-for-like2 EBITDA* grew by 8.0% and RevPAR* grew by 3.1%.

EPRA performance measures
a. EPRA net asset value*
To guide investors on the market value of the Group's property portfolio and performance, the Group has been reporting various EPRA key performance indicators since 2018, alongside its operational metrics. Property valuations are undertaken once a year by independent external valuers, using established and widely recognised methods, including applying appropriate discount rates to property cash flow generation and applying capitalisation rates from precedent transactions.
In December 2025, the Group's properties (with the exception of operating leases, managed and franchised properties) were independently valued by Savills (in respect of properties in the Netherlands, UK and Germany) and by Zagreb nekretnine Ltd (ZANE) (in respect of properties in Croatia). Based on those valuations, the Directors have updated the Group's EPRA NRV*, EPRA NTA* and EPRA NDV* for 30 June 2026.
The EPRA NRV* as at 30 June 2026, set out in the table below, amounts to £1,140.2 million (31 December 2025: £1,157.4 million), which equates to £26.97 per share (31 December 2025: £27.35). The movement in EPRA NRV* was primarily driven by a dividend distribution of £9.2 million and £6.7 million drop from unfavourable foreign currency translation into British pound.

Other EPRA measurements
Given that the Group's asset portfolio is comprised of hotels, resorts and campsites which are also operated by the Group, a few of EPRA's performance measurements, which are relevant to real estate companies with passive rental income, have not been disclosed as they are not relevant or non-existent. Those EPRA performance measurements include EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY), EPRA 'Topped-up' NIY, EPRA Vacancy Rate and EPRA Cost Ratios.

Hotel portfolio performance
The United Kingdom, the Group's most significant region in terms of property portfolio, revenue and EBITDA* contribution, delivered a strong first-half performance, reporting revenue, EBITDA* and RevPAR* growth compared to the prior-year period. This was achieved despite the recent increase in UK business rates, and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which has created travel uncertainty, shortened booking windows and reduced forward-booking visibility.
Throughout the period, art'otel London Hoxton continued to build its profile in the London market and is performing well, generating excellent customer feedback. The 5,000 sqm of premium office space is currently being marketed to prospective targeted tenants.
Total reported revenue increased by 6.8% to £126.9 million (H1 2025: £118.8 million). RevPAR* grew by 5.2% to £149.6 (H1 2025: £142.2), reflecting strong average room rate* growth of 5.3% to £178.4 (H1 2025: £169.4) and stable occupancy at 83.8% (H1 2025: 83.9%).
EBITDA* grew 8.5% to £35.0 million (H1 2025: £32.3 million). This led to an EBITDA margin* improvement to 27.6% (H1 2025: 27.2%).
The United Kingdom hotel market^
RevPAR* was up 2.4% at £87.37, driven by a 2.1% increase in average room rate* to £116.76 and a 0.3% increase in occupancy to 74.8%.
In London, RevPAR* increased by 0.6% to £138.31 compared with 2025, reflecting a 0.0% change in occupancy remaining at 77.4%, and a 0.7% increase in average room rate* to £178.72.

Hotel portfolio performance
In the Netherlands, the hotel market was impacted by a 12 percentage points increase in the VAT rate for accommodation from 9% to 21%, which took effect from January 2026. As anticipated, this industry-wide change put pressure on average room rates* and occupancy across the Dutch hotel market, including the Group's properties.
Total revenue (in local currency) decreased by 5.3% to €35.2 million (H1 2025: €37.1 million). Average room rate* decreased by 3.4% to €164.1 (H1 2025: €169.8), and occupancy was 330 bps lower at 79.3% (H1 2025: 82.6%). This led to RevPAR* of €130.2, a decline of 7.2% (H1 2025: €140.3).
EBITDA* was €9.8 million, which represented a decrease of 15.7% (H1 2025: €11.6 million). EBITDA margin* was 27.8% (H1 2025: 31.2%).
The Dutch hotel market^
RevPAR* decreased by 4.8% to €101.87 compared with 2025. Occupancy decreased by 0.2% to 71.2%, and the average room rate* was €143.10, 4.6% lower than in 2025.
In Amsterdam, our main market in the Netherlands, RevPAR* decreased by 3.6% to €123.63. Occupancy levels increased by 0.7% to 74.7%, and the average daily room rate decreased by 4.2% to €165.53.

2 The room revenue, average room rate*, occupancy and RevPAR* statistics include all accommodation units at hotels and self-catering apartment complexes but exclude campsites and mobile homes.
Property portfolio performance
The Croatian portfolio of hotels, self-catering apartments and campsites is primarily seasonal, with activities increasing from Q2 onwards as the portfolio ramps up into the summer season.
art'otel Zagreb, which opened late 2023 and operates throughout the year, continued to build its position in the local market and performed ahead of last year. Notably, Grand Hotel Brioni reopened three weeks later than in 2025 following the winter closure.
The Group is encouraged by the year-on-year growth delivered by the recently renovated Arena Stupice Campsite and Arena Indije Campsite properties.
Total reported revenue (in local currency) was up slightly at €32.4 million (H1 2025: €32.1 million). RevPAR* declined by 5.2% to €61.7 (H1 2025: €65.1). Average room rate* was down 6.2% to €130.6, and occupancy was slightly higher at 47.2% (H1 2025: 46.7%). EBITDA* was 32.6% lower at €0.7 million (H1 2025: €1.1 million), and EBITDA margin* was 2.2% (H1 2025: 3.3%), reflecting a rise in operating costs.

Hotel portfolio performance
The Group's portfolio in Germany was subdued in Q1, primarily due to fewer events and trade fairs compared with the previous period, resulting in softer market conditions and pressure on both occupancy and average room rate*. However, the performance improved in Q2, with growth in revenue, EBITDA*, and RevPAR*.
On a like-for-like* basis (in local currency) excluding the 2025 figures for Park Plaza Wallstreet Berlin Mitte, H1 2026 revenue was flat at €10.1 million (H1 2025: €10.1 million). RevPAR* improved by 1.1%, which reflected a marginal increase in occupancy to 65.7% (H1 2025: 64.8%) and a broadly flat average room rate*. EBITDA* declined by 8.2% to €2.2 million (H1 2025: €2.4 million), which delivered an EBITDA margin* of 21.7% (H1 2025: 23.7%).
Total revenue (in local currency) decreased to €10.1 million, a decrease of 21.9% (H1 2025: €12.9 million). Average room rate* improved by 3.4% to €131.4 (H1 2025: €127.1), while occupancy1 was marginally down at 65.7% (H1 2025: 66.2%). This led to RevPAR* growth of 2.7% to €86.4 (H1 2025: €84.1). EBITDA* decreased by 22.3% to €2.2 million, which reflected lower revenue compared to EBITDA* of €2.8 million in H1 2025. EBITDA margin* was 22.0% (H1 2025: 22.1%).
The German hotel market^
The German market experienced a 0.1% increase in RevPAR* to €73.92, resulting from a 1.7% improvement in occupancy to 65.3% and a 1.6% decrease in average room rate* to €113.22.

Hotel portfolio performance
The Group operates properties in Italy, Hungary, Austria and Serbia.
art'otel Rome Via Veneto is the most recent addition to the Group's portfolio, having opened in March 2025 following a significant repositioning investment programme. Demand for the property continues to grow, supported by excellent guest feedback.
In Hungary, Park Plaza Budapest continued to gradually improve, with the property delivering a positive performance, reporting occupancy and average room rate* growth.
In Austria, the FRANZ Ferdinand Mountain Resort in Nassfeld reported a record result during the winter season, delivering growth in average room rate* and occupancy. As usual, the hotel closed at the end of March, before it reopened for the summer season at the beginning of June.
In Serbia, the Radisson RED Belgrade reported an improved performance, as the hotel team continues to focus on mitigating the impact of the ongoing political situation in the country.
Total reported revenue from Other Markets increased by 27.8% to £9.7 million. RevPAR* grew 14.4%, benefiting from 7.7% growth in average room rate* to £164.7 (H1 2025: £143.7), and improved occupancy to 59.3%, up from 55.8% in H1 2025. EBITDA* increased 16.8% to £0.8 million.

Our performance
Revenues in this segment are primarily management, sales, marketing and franchise fees, and other charges for central services.
These are predominantly charged within the Group and therefore eliminated upon consolidation. For the six months ended 30 June 2026, the segment showed a significant improvement in EBITDA* to £1.5 million, compared with a loss of £0.6 million in H1 2025. This result reflected cost saving initiatives in the period.
Management, Group Central Services and licence, sales and marketing fees are calculated as a percentage of revenues and profit, and therefore, these are affected by underlying hotel performance.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
While the Board continues to actively monitor the evolving geopolitical environment and wider macroeconomic uncertainties, the Directors consider that the Group's residual exposure arising from its principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year remains unchanged from that set out in the 2025 Annual Report.
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7 R and DTR 4.2.8 R, namely:
· An indication of important events which have occurred during the first six months and their impact on the condensed set of consolidated financial statements (see note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements), plus a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year (see heading Principal Risks and Uncertainties) and
· Material related-party transactions in the first six months ended 30 June 2026 and any material changes in the related party transactions described in the last annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025 (see note 6f of the condensed consolidated financial statements)
· An indication of important events that have occurred since the end of the reporting Period (30 June 2026) (see note 6g to the consolidated financial statements); and
· The directors of the Company1 are listed in the last annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025. A current list of directors is maintained on the website of the Company1 (www.pphe.com).
GOING CONCERN
The Board believes it is taking all appropriate steps to support the sustainability and growth of the Group's activities. Detailed budgets and cash flow projections have been prepared for 2026, 2027 and 2028 which show that the Group's hotel operations will be cash generative during the Period.
The Directors have assessed the viability of the Group over a period to 31 December 2028, as set out further on page 92 of the last Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025. The Directors have determined that the Company is likely to continue in business for at least 12 months from the date of this announcement. This, taken together with their conclusions on the matters referred to herein and in note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, has led the Directors to conclude that it is appropriate to prepare the half year condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.
This statement is made on behalf of the Board by:
Boris Ivesha, President and CEO
Daniel Kos, Chief Financial Officer & Executive Director
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO PPHE HOTEL GROUP LIMITED
To: The Board of Directors of PPHE Hotel Group Limited
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of PPHE Hotel Group Limited and its subsidiaries (hereafter The Group) as of 30 June 2026 and the related interim condensed consolidated income statement, interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, interim condensed consolidated changes in equity and interim condensed consolidated cash flows for the six-month period then ended and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the entity as at 30 June 2026, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the six-month period then ended in accordance with IAS 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority.

NOTES:
Note 1: General
a. PPHE Hotel Group (the 'Company'), together with its subsidiaries (the 'Group'), is an international hospitality real estate group, which owns, co-owns and develops hotels, resorts and campsites, operates the Park Plaza® brand in EMEA and owns and operates the art'otel®1 brand.
b. These financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format as of 30 June 2026 and for the six months then ended ('interim condensed consolidated financial statements'). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company*'s annual consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2025 and for the year then ended and the accompanying notes ('annual consolidated financial statements').
c. The Company was incorporated in Guernsey on 14 June 2007 and is listed on the Equity Shares - Commercial Companies (ESCC)" category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the shares are traded on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange.
d. Going concern and liquidity
As part of their ongoing oversight responsibilities, the Directors have conducted a comprehensive review of the Group's cash flow forecasts and assessed potential liquidity risks. Detailed budgets and cash flow projections have been prepared for the years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028, incorporating the current trading conditions and broader industry cost pressures. These projections indicate that the Group's hotel operations are expected to remain cash generative throughout the forecast period.
Based on their review of the cash flow forecasts and associated assumptions, the Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Note 2: Basis of preparation and changes in accounting policies and significant accounting estimates and judgements
a. Basis of preparation and changes in accounting policies
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements, except for the mentioned below and the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2026. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Purchase of leased underlying assets during the lease term
The acquisition of an underlying leased asset without a contractual purchase option is not specifically addressed under IFRS Accounting Standards. Hence management of the Group applied judgement in developing and applying an accounting policy in accordance with paragraphs 10 and 11 of IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. Management believes that the accounting policy adopted faithfully represents the economic substance of the underlying transaction.
In transactions where the Company acquires an underlying asset that it leased, and the original lease contract did not contain a purchase option or termination option, the transaction is accounted for as the termination of the lease arrangement and a separate acquisition of the underlying asset. At the date of acquisition of the asset, the Company derecognises the related right-of-use asset and lease liability and recognises the acquired asset as property, plant and equipment in accordance with the relevant IFRS requirements.
In determining the accounting for such transaction, management attributes consideration to the termination of the lease and to the purchase of the underlying asset using reasonable estimates, independent valuations, and consideration of the economic substance of the arrangement.
In the acquisition of the Park Plaza Waterloo property, management determined that it should attribute a positive implied consideration for the termination of the lease arrangement and attributed the consideration for the separate acquisition of the asset based on the fair value of the asset without the lease arrangement, as determined by an independent third-party valuation. The amount attributed to the termination of the lease arrangement is determined based on the difference between the fair value of the asset without the lease agreement and the actual cash consideration paid. The difference between the amount attributed to the termination of the lease arrangement, plus the carrying amount of the lease liability, and the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is recognised in profit or loss.
The adoption of the following new standards and amendments effective as of 1 January 2026 had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements:
· Lack of exchangeability - Amendments to IAS 21
· Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
· Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11
b. Significant accounting estimates and judgements
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policy with respect to the acquisition of Park Plaza London Waterloo freehold (see Note 3a), management applied the following professional judgement in determining the accounting treatment for the transaction, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The transaction was accounted for as the termination of the lease arrangement and a separate acquisition of the underlying asset. At the date of acquisition of the asset, the Company derecognised the related right-of-use asset and lease liability and recognised the acquired asset as property, plant and equipment in accordance with the relevant IFRS requirements.
Management determined that it should attribute a positive implied consideration for the termination of the lease arrangement and attributed the consideration for the separate acquisition of the asset based on the fair value of the asset without the lease arrangement, as determined by an independent third-party valuation. The amount attributed to the termination of the lease arrangement is determined based on the difference between the fair value of the asset without the lease agreement and the cash consideration paid. The difference between the amount attributed to the termination of the lease arrangement, plus the carrying amount of the lease liability, and the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is recognised in profit or loss.
The significant estimates included in the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the fair value of the Park Plaza London Waterloo freehold asset on the date of the acquisition which was determined by an independent external valuation utilising a discounted cash flow methodology. The primary unobservable inputs utilised in the valuation model included a capitalisation rate (cap rate) of 5.0% and a discount rate of 7.5%.

Note 3: Significant events during the reported Period
a. Acquisition of freehold of Park Plaza London Waterloo and termination of lease arrangement.
Background and Historical Transaction
In July 2017, the Group completed a sale and leaseback transaction for the 494-room Park Plaza London Waterloo (the "Property") for a total consideration of £161.5 million. The Group entered into a 199-year leaseback agreement with an initial annual rent of £5.6 million, subject to annual inflation adjustments (capped at 4% with a 2% floor). Under the prevailing accounting standards at the time, the transaction was accounted for as a finance lease, resulting in no disposal gain or loss recognition, with the asset and corresponding lease liability retained on the statement of financial position. On transition to IFRS 16 the arrangement was accounted for in the same way as any other finance lease on transition, and subsequently the arrangement has been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16.
Repurchase of the Freehold of the Property
On 27 February 2026, the Group entered into an agreement to repurchase the freehold interest in the Property for £147.9 million. The transaction was funded through a £136.5 million secured loan facility, with the remaining balance settled via the Group's existing cash. The loan facility was formally executed on 23 March 2026 with Bank Hapoalim. It carries an initial two-year term with three consecutive one-year extension options, bearing interest at SONIA plus a 2.5% margin.
On 9 April 2026, the Group entered into an off-market interest rate swap to fix the floating interest rate at 3.353% on approximately 90% of the nominal loan balance. The upfront cash consideration of £2.6 million paid for this instrument was recognised within Other non-current assets on the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group has elected not to apply hedge accounting to this derivative under IFRS 9. Consequently, any subsequent fair value gains or losses are recognised directly within other expenses in the consolidated income statement.
Accounting Treatment
As disclosed in Note 2, the Company accounted for the transaction as follows:
Derecognition of the lease related balances:
The right-of-use (ROU) asset of £119.2 million, associated property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) components of £4.3 million, and the carrying value of the lease liability of £214.9 million were fully derecognised.
Property acquisition at fair value:
The property was recorded on the balance sheet based on the implied consideration paid to acquire the freehold, reflecting its acquisition-date fair value of £209.9 million without consideration to the lease arrangement. This fair value was determined by an independent external valuation utilising a discounted cash flow methodology. The primary unobservable inputs utilised in the valuation model included a capitalisation rate (cap rate) of 5.0% and a discount rate of 7.5%.
Income Statement Impact:
The effect of the amount attributed to the termination of the lease arrangement was determined based on the difference between the fair value of the property without consideration to the lease agreement of £209.9 million and the cash consideration paid inclusive of capitalised acquisition costs of £155.6 million. The difference between the amount attributed to the termination of the lease arrangement of £54.3 million, plus the carrying amount of the lease liability of £214. 9 million, and the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and related PP&E of £123.5 million was recognised as other income within profit and loss of £145.6 million. The figures are summarised in the table below.

b. Refinancing of the art'otel Rome Via Veneto Loan
In Q1 2026, the Group entered into a new agreement to refinance its existing loan relating to art'otel Rome Via Veneto in Italy. The refinancing comprises a €27.6m senior secured facility with a five-year term and bears a fixed interest of 4.8%, arranged with Aareal Bank, replacing the previous financing structure and providing longer-term funding for the asset.
c. Sale of New York development site
On 18 February 2026, the Group entered into an agreement for the sale of its development site located in Manhattan, New York.
This New York City site was acquired in 2019 with a view to developing the Group's first hotel in the US. However, subsequent to the acquisition, the regulatory landscape for ground-up hotel developments in New York significantly altered, which led the Group to conclude that a hotel development is not viable for this site. The Group has optimised the site to maximise its exit value through demolition works and the acquisition of air rights.
The transaction has been structured as a sale of the freehold of the site to a US real estate developer for a purchase price of $33.5 million. After the balance sheet date, the transaction was completed and the sale proceeds were used to repay the associated debt of $6.875 million, with the balance of funds to be deployed in accordance with the Group's capital allocation strategy.
Note 4: Segment data
For management purposes, the Group's activities are divided into Owned Hotel Operations and Management and Central Services. Owned Hotel Operations are further divided into four reportable segments: the Netherlands, Germany, Croatia and the United Kingdom. Other includes individual hotels in Hungary, Serbia, Italy and Austria. The operating results of each of the aforementioned segments are monitored separately for the purpose of resource allocations and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on EBITDA, as defined in the Group's APMs.

Note 5: Financial instruments
Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts with unrelated financial institutions in order to reduce the effect of interest rate fluctuations or risk of certain real estate investment's interest expense on its variable rate debt. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments. Management believes the risk of loss due to non-performance to be minimal and therefore decided not to hedge this.
The accounting treatment for the interest rate swaps and whether they qualify as accounting hedges under IFRS 9 is determined separately for each contract. If the contract qualifies as accounting hedge, then the unrealised gain or loss on the contract is recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. If the contract does not qualify as accounting hedge, then the gain or loss on the contract is recorded in the consolidated income statement. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined by taking into account the present interest rates compared to the contracted fixed rate over the life of the contract. The valuation models incorporate various market inputs such as interest rate curves and the fair value measurement is classified to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a loss of £0.2 million in other expenses (note 6d) in the interim condensed consolidated income statement and an unrealised profit of £0.7 million in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income representing the change in the fair value of these interest rate swaps during the Period. The aggregate fair value of the interest rate swap contracts was £23.7 million as of June 30, 2026 and is included in Other non-current assets in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
During the Period ended 30 June 2026, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
There were no material changes during the period ended 30 June 2026 in interest rates that significantly affected the fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities. There were also no material changes during the period ended 30 June 2026 in the key inputs that were used for the fair value measurement of the Group's financial assets and liabilities that are presented at fair value.
Note 6: Other disclosures
