(1)         Like-for-like basis excludes the impacts of new openings, renovation and closure in 2024 and 2025. (2)         Combined total revenue includes turnover of the Group's subsidiary hotels in addition to 100% of revenue from associate, joint venture and managed hotels. (3)         Comparable EBITDA excludes the impact of hotel closures and disposals in 2024 and 2025. (4)         The Group uses 'underlying profit' in its internal financial reporting to distinguish between ongoing business performance and non-trading items, as more fully described in note 7 to the financial statements. Management considers this to be a key measure which provides additional information to enhance understanding of the Group's underlying business performance. (5)         The interim dividend of US¢1.50 per share will be payable on 15 October 2025 to shareholders on the registers of members at the close of business on 22 August 2025. (6)         At 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024, respectively. (7)         The Group's investment properties are carried at fair value on the basis of valuations carried out by independent valuers at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024. The other freehold and leasehold interests are carried at amortised cost in the consolidated balance sheet. Both the adjusted net asset value per share and net debt/adjusted shareholders' funds at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 have included the market value of the Group's freehold and leasehold interests, which were appraised as at 31 December 2024.

 

2025 HALF-YEAR PERFORMANCE

In the first half of 2025, the Group achieved strong RevPAR growth driven by both occupancy and rates across all regions.

The increase in combined total revenue was driven by the increase in RevPAR together with the ramp-up of recent hotel openings in Europe, the Middle East, and China.

Consolidated revenue marginally reduced from the same period last year, primarily due to the disposal of our hotel and retail properties in Paris in 2024. On a comparable basis, excluding hotel closures and disposals, consolidated revenue growth was 7%.

In the Management Business, hotel management fee income increased by 14% driven by the 11% RevPAR improvement, margin optimisation, and portfolio expansion. Comparable EBITDA increased by 11% due to the 14% improvement in hotel management fee income, offset by continued investment in capabilities to support the Group's long-term strategy.

In the Owned Hotels, comparable EBITDA increased by 2% mainly driven by Hong Kong and Geneva, partially offset by lower profits from London.

The valuation of One Causeway Bay decreased by 3% compared to 31 December 2024 due to changes in assumptions for office and retail rental. The project recorded a non-trading loss of US$103 million.

Net debt at 30 June 2025 was US$152 million, higher than US$94 million at the end of 2024, primarily due to continued funding of One Causeway Bay.

Following the closure of Mandarin Oriental, Miami and the disposal of the Group's stake in that property, the Group recorded a US$22 million gain on disposal in May. In June, the Group signed an agreement to sell its hotel property in Munich, with a long-term hotel management contract retained. This transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of the year.

An interim dividend of US¢1.50 per share has been declared.

 

BRAND-LED, GUEST-CENTRIC

We have made significant progress in implementing our strategy during the first half of the year. In April, we unveiled a refined visual identity that honours our dual-Asian heritage while embracing the brand's desirability and modern outlook. As we continue to innovate our products and experiences, we have announced significant investments in our two founding hotels in Hong Kong and Bangkok. We continued to elevate our guest experience with the launch of an enhanced guest recognition programme and a new, industry-leading mobile app, enabling surprise moments of recognition and deeper engagement with guests. In June, we released our 2024 Sustainability report, highlighting for all our stakeholders our progress in advancing our social and environmental engagement agenda. To increase brand desirability, we have released a unique documentary film on leading streaming platforms, 'Inside The Dream - Mandarin Oriental', showcasing the craft, inspiration, and dedication that support our unique legendary service.

 

DEVELOPMENT

Accelerating the expansion of the Management Business is central to the Group's growth strategy. Since the start of the year, the Group has added three new operating hotels and one hotel and residences to its portfolio.

In April, we strengthened our European presence with the opening of our second property in Paris - Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris. The Group also took over the management of The Conservatorium Hotel which will complete its rebranding in 2026, marking our debut in Amsterdam.

In June, we further accelerated the Group's expansion with the management takeovers of the San Clemente Palace Hotel in Venice, a unique resort minutes away from the heart of Venice, and an idyllic beach resort, located on Desaru Coast, Malaysia, offering coastal serenity and ecological richness. The resort in Desaru Coast is the Group's first resort in Southeast Asia, with additional openings planned in Bai Nom, Bali, Da Nang, the Maldives, and Setouchi over the next five years.

Earlier this year, the Group also announced one new hotel management contract in Suzhou, China, and one new hotel and residences management contract in Puerto Rico.

In May, Mandarin Oriental, Miami closed its doors after 25 years of legendary service. A brand new hotel with residences is set to debut after 2030.

 

LEADERSHIP

In March, the Group announced the appointment of ShaoWei Ong as Chief People & Culture Officer. She succeeds Amanda Hyndman, who previously held the dual roles of Chief People & Culture Officer and Chief Operating Officer. Amanda will now focus solely on her responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer.

 

OUTLOOK

In the second half of the year, the Group targets opening two new hotels and residences: Mandarin Oriental Downtown, Dubai, our second property in Dubai, and Mandarin Oriental, Vienna, the Group's first flag in Austria, and one residences in Madrid. Despite ongoing global geopolitical and economic volatility, we are confident that the Group is strategically positioned to capitalise on sustained demand for luxury leisure travel.

Fair value estimation

(i)  Financial instruments that are measured at fair value

 

For financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the balance sheet, the corresponding fair value measurements are disclosed by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

 

(a)    Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly ('observable current market transactions')

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined using rates quoted by the Group's bankers at the balance sheet date. The rates for interest rate swaps and caps and forward foreign exchange contracts are calculated by reference to market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

 

The fair values of unlisted investments mainly include club and school debentures, are determined using prices quoted by brokers at the balance sheet date.

 

(b)    Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data ('unobservable inputs')

The fair values of other unlisted investments are determined using valuation techniques by reference to observable current market transactions (including price-to earnings and price-to book ratios of listed securities of entities engaged in similar industries) or the market prices of the underlying investments with certain degree of entity specific estimates or discounted cash flow by projecting the cash flows from these investments.

 

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six months ended 30 June 2025 and the year ended 31 December 2024.

 

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024, by the levels in the fair value measurement hierarchy:

 

			Observable  market current transactions US$m		Unobservable inputs US$m		Total US$m
	30 June 2025
	Assets
	Other investments		4.7		8.7		13.4
	Liabilities
	Contingent consideration payable		-		(0.9)		(0.9)
	Derivative financial instruments at fair value - through other comprehensive income		(2.9)		-		(2.9)
			(2.9)		(0.9)		(3.8)

 

			Observable  market current transactions US$m		Unobservable inputs US$m		Total US$m
	31 December 2024
	Assets
	Other investments		4.8		8.5		13.3
	Derivative financial instruments at fair value

	Derivative financial instruments at fair value
	- through other comprehensive income		(0.9)		-		(0.9)
			(0.9)		(0.9)		(1.8)

 

There were no transfers among the two categories during the six months ended 30 June 2025 and the year ended 31 December 2024.

 

Movement of financial instruments which are valued based on unobservable inputs during the six months ended 30 June 2025 and the year ended 31 December 2024 are as follows:

 

		Unlisted investments US$m
	At 1 January 2025	8.5
	Additions	0.2
	At 30 June 2025	8.7
	At 1 January 2024	8.4
	Additions	0.1
	At 31 December 2024	8.5

 

(i)   Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

 

The fair values of current debtors, bank and cash balances, current creditors, current borrowings and current lease liabilities are assumed to approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

 

The fair values of long-term borrowings are based on market prices or are estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market interest rates. The fair values of non-current lease liabilities are estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market interest rates.
