Design Hotels AG publishes Annual Results 2015
- Revenue increases by about 11 percent to Euro 16.878m
- EBITDA increases by 12 percent to Euro 1.939m
Berlin, March 23, 2016 - Design Hotel AG (m:access, Munich: LBA; ISIN: DE0005141006) publishes results for the financial year 2015. Revenue increased by about 11% and meets the expectations set forth in the beginning of the year. The operational result increased by 12% and, therefore, also complies with the expected result.
Key Events:
On November 12, 2015, Design Hotels AG announced the conclusion of a Services Agreement with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. ("Starwood") and its subsidiary company Preferred Guest, Inc. The agreement allows Design Hotels AG to connect a selection of its member hotels to the Starwood Preferred Guest ("SPG") customer loyalty program and Starwood's distribution channels.
Key Financials:
Total Revenue increased by about 11% Euro 16.878m (15.207).
Revenue from License Fees for membership with Design Hotels increased by 12% to Euro 3.883m (3.462). This contributes 23% (23) to total revenue. On December 31, 2015, Design Hotels had 306 (288) member hotels in its portfolio with 23,202 (22,262) rooms in 190 destinations and 59 countries.
Booking commissions came in at Euro 7.773m (7.082) in 2015, which means a 10% increase compared to the previous year. Commissions accounted for 46% (46) of the total revenue.
Revenue from Marketing and Consulting Services increased with 12% in 2015 and reached Euro 5.222m (4.663). It accounts for 31% (31) of total revenue.
The Gross Margin is slightly below last year's level and came in at 65% (68). Gross Revenue was Euro 10.934m (10.373), which is an increase of 5% compared to the previous year. The increase is disproportionally lower compared to the increase of total revenue. This is due to an unfavorable value of the Euro against the US-Dollar with the reservation services provider as well as the higher share of the low-margin marketing and consulting services in total revenue.
The average number of employees increased from 75 to 78. Therefore, Staff Expenses grew from Euro 5,758m to Euro 5,940m. At the same time, Revenue per Employee went up from Euro 0.203m to Euro 0.216m. The increase of staff was necessary to manage the growing business from the increasing number of member hotels as well as the intensified and more individualized customer service.
Selling Expenses came in at Euro 1.689m (1.433). They are directly related to the revenue development and increased slightly to 10% (9) compared to the previous year. The increase of the selling expenses is mainly due to increasing advertising expenses in relation to seasonal marketing products.
Other Operating Expenses decreased slightly to Euro 1.452m (1.578).
EBITDA increased by about 12% to Euro 1.939m (1.727) in 2015.
The EBITDA margin was 11% (11).
EBIT reached Euro 1.567m (1.402) in 2014. Net Profit came in at Euro 1.592m (1.418).
On December 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of Euro 1.304m, as compared to Euro 5.713m on December 31, 2014. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and other current assets resulted from an intercompany loan in the amount of EUR 5.25m Starwood (M) France Holdings SAS, a subsidiary of the main shareholder Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. The Management Board assumes that in 2016, all payment obligations arising from the current operations can be covered by the cash inflows from operating activities.
Shareholders' equity increased from Euro 6.132m to Euro 7.262m. The equity ratio amounts to 66% (66%).
Further Comments:
The international travel industry experienced an upswing in 2015 with already more than 1 billion travelers worldwide in October. Economic factors, geopolitical challenges, riots and terrorist attacks have rather regional effects on the travel sector; the industry in general proved to be stable against crises. Key figures from the tourism industry - revenue per available room, average rates and occupancy - increased worldwide compared to the previous year. Design Hotels was able to benefit from these developments and has even grown disproportionately compared with the average market development.
CEO Claus Sendlinger commented: "We are very pleased with the company's development and the corresponding figures for 2015. We were able to increase revenues in all business areas and meet the expectations expressed in the beginning of the financial year. The assumption, that Earnings before Interest and Taxes would decrease compared to the previous year, which we expressed in mid-2015, did not prove true. The reason for this are lower costs in 2015 from the collaboration with Starwood Hotels & Resorts. Also for the year 2016, we expect an increase in revenue and operating profit."
As to the services agreement with Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Inc. Sendlinger further commented: "The conclusion of the services agreement enables us to expand the product and service offering to our member hotels now. Participating hotels get access to Starwood's customer loyalty program Starwood Preferred Guest SPG and connectivity to Starwood's distribution channels, namely the Starwood websites, the SPG mobile application, and the customer contact center."
