56、ngesReflecting on 2021,I am very humbled by the adaptability,skill and dedication of our teams across the business.Their hard work during the last two years has aided the Group immensely in navigating through the most difficult trading conditions ever seen in our industry.Despite these unprecedented
57、 trading conditions progress has been made against ourstrategic priorities.Many of our teams have had to work hard to rebuild momentum following extended periods of government-financed support,such as furlough,but they have come together stronger than ever,continuing to welcome our guests where we c
58、an and with the best safety and customer service possible.Our Executive Leadership in particular voluntarily signed up to a number of salary sacrifice schemes,deferments and waiver of incentives throughout 2020 and 2021.I would like to place on record my gratitude for our teams and leaderships suppo
59、rt,commitment and exceptional efforts during these difficult times.PPHE hascontinued to make strong progress throughout the year,and we are proud thatthe value of our property portfolio nowstands at 1.8 billion.Our 200+million pipeline is robust and includes flagship developments such as artotel Lon
60、don Hoxton and Grand Hotel Brioni Pula,alongside repositioning projects in Croatia and Italy.There will be many great openings to watch out for over the next few years which we are very excited for,and our long-term partnership with Clal Insurance(“Clal”),which unlocked 113.7 million of equity,has e
61、nabled us to pursue further strategic growth opportunities and will continue to do so as the pandemic subsides.Delivering for all stakeholdersWe recognise the unique but vital role that each of our stakeholders plays in the Groups success.As such,creating and delivering value for their benefit is th
62、e driving force in all that we do.This is visible in:our passion for creating memorable guest experiences;our commitment to maintaining an open andconstructive dialogue with investors;ourprioritisation of the well-being and development of our team members;and our willingness to serve the communities
63、 in which we operate.I was pleased to see theprogress made in our stakeholder engagement activities over the course of theyear,particularly the active dialogue maintained with representatives of independent shareholders in order to remain guided by their views and allowing us to adapt our approach w
64、herever possible in response.The maintenance of a robust governance framework is key to the delivery of long-term sustainable value and has been crucial to navigating the circumstances of the pandemic as well as the recovery process.2021 saw us make a number of important strides in corporate governa
65、nce,including establishing a designated Environmental,Social and Governance(ESG)Committee to add necessary rigour and structure to the manner in which we deliver our governance goals and delivering our first Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures(TCFD)Report,which we welcomed as an oppo
66、rtunity for meaningful and structured engagement with the risks and opportunities presented by climate change,as well as an advisory vote to shareholders on the Remuneration Report included in the financial statements and the Remuneration Policy applicable as of 2022.The Deputy Chairman spearheads o
67、ur corporate governance strategy,and full details of our activities this year are set out in his statement on pages 90 to 135.DividendHaving suspended dividend payments in light of ongoing uncertainty due to COVID-19,we have continued to review our policy in line with business performance and cash f
68、low.Government measures have continued to restrict travel demand and the Group has subsequently received government support during the year across its different operating regions.The Board is therefore of the view that it is neither sustainable nor appropriate to propose a dividend in respect of 202
69、1.The Board appreciates the importance of dividends and will continue to review any future dividend payments in line with the recovery trajectory and the business returning to cash flow positive trading.Looking aheadWe were heartened to see momentum return to the business from May 2021 onwards,as ma
70、ny of our markets opened up,albeit with a few restrictions,and international travel resumed.During this period,it was clear that demand for our high quality,well-located hotels remained strong.The emergence of the Omicron variant in November resulted innew measures being introduced and demand declin
71、ing.We are well-aware that there will continue tobe industry-wide challenges ahead throughout this road to recovery.While uncertainty will continue as individual markets react to their own evolving situations that cannot be fully predicted,we will continue to deliver on our strategy,opening our door
72、s where we can and delivering the best experience possible for our customers.As vaccination and booster programmes continue to be rolled out in countries all over the world,I expect that our recovery willremain strong,as it was in the UK and Croatia in the second half of this year.The Boards optimis
73、m for the future is founded on our proven ability to recover through challenging times.We are well-placed to continue to outperform the sector whenever and wherever restrictions are eased,as our unique business model,strong financial position,proven management team,superior expertise and exciting de

75、hief Executive OfficerThroughout 2021,we continued to manage effectively the ongoing challenges presented by the pandemic and the subsequent industry-wide uncertainty and disruption this caused.Once again,our dynamic owner/operator business model gave us the ability to adapt to ever-changing market
76、conditions,underpinned by the Groups strong financial position and our well-invested portfolio following our recent 100+million investment programme.The Group is well-positioned to benefit frommarket recovery.2021 in reviewTrading in the year was challenging in the first six months as the ongoing pa
77、ndemic severely reduced activity levels due to government-imposed domestic and international travel restrictions and social-distancing measures.Consequently,most ofthe Groups properties were temporarily closed or operating at reduced capacity.During Q2,travel restrictions were progressively eased ac
78、ross the Groups operating markets,to varying degrees and at varying times.From mid-May in the UK and from June in Continental Europe,activity increased gradually,driven primarily by leisure demand from domestic markets with bookings characterised by short lead times.By the end of Q2,the majority of
79、the Groups properties were open.With vaccination programmes across all our operating markets firmly underway in the second half of the year,international travel restrictions were eased,supported by widespread lateral flow and PCR testing as well as the introduction of vaccination passports across Eu
80、rope.This led to good trading momentum and revenue generation in the second half of the year,underpinned by a strong performance in the UK and Croatia and our successful room rate-focused strategy.Additionally,the Group benefited from sports events,such as the 2020 UEFA Championships and the Cricket
81、 Hundred Series,going ahead.Corporate travel and meetings and events demand continued to grow,and the booking pace improved until mid-November when demand slowed due to the spreading of the Omicron variant.This new variant resulted in governments temporarily introducing measures.Once these are again
82、 eased we expect to regain momentum.Against this backdrop,the revenue performance of several of our properties outperformed the market.The Groups proactive commercial strategy enabled us to secure contracted group business,alongside demand generated by essential stays.Park Plaza Victoria London and
83、Park Plaza London Waterloo operated asUK Government quarantine hotels for partof the year,which supported revenue generation during a period of low demand.Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London was proud to be chosen as the exclusive host hotel for players and support teams of the 2021 Wimbledon Champ
84、ionships.Throughout this period of uncertainty for the hospitality industry,we took pride in our responsiveness and adaptability to ever-changing market conditions,which include an increasingly pressured labour market.While we are not immune to this well-documented issue,which spans a number of sect
85、ors,our continuous focus on being an employer of choice to attract and retain talent has positioned us strongly in the current labour market.Furthermore,our decision pre-pandemic to bring housekeeping services in-house has helped insulate the Group from the disruption to operations caused by these l
86、abour shortages.We are delighted that our efforts in this area have been recognised by several industry accolades,and throughout the year,the health and safety of our colleagues,and all stakeholders,have remained our priority.Full details on the Groups operational performance by region are set out i
87、n the Business Review.Improved financial performance The Groups overall financial performance improved year-on-year,reflecting some recovery in activity levels as the year progressed,albeit from a low base.Reported total revenue increased by 38.9%to 141.4 million(2020:101.8 million)and EBITDA improv
88、ed to 25.1 million(2020:(10.1)million),resulting in an EBITDA margin of 17.7%(2020:(9.9)%).Once again,key operating metrics wereimpacted by property closures and reduced capacity in the first half of the year,however the Groups rate-focused strategy delivered ayear-on-year recovery in average room r
89、ateto 117.0(2020:105.1),with a more gradual improvement in demand during theyear resulting in occupancy of 30.7%(2020:28.0%).RevPAR increased by 22.1%to35.9(2020:29.4),34.6%of the level reported in FY 2019.The Groups financial position remains strong,with a total consolidated cash balance of 136.8 m
90、illion at 31 December 2021(31 December 2020:114.2 million).Our property portfolio was predominantly valued by Savills and Zane at 1.8 billion as at 31 December 2021.EPRA NRV per share increased by 0.3%to 22.15 per share.The adjusted EPRA earnings per share was(44)pence(2020:(123)pence).Full details

98、acquisitionsIn Q4,we announced two strategic acquisitions which have strengthened our pipeline,expanded our presence in Europe and marked our entry into two new and exciting markets:Austria and Italy.We acquired the FRANZ Ferdinand Mountain Resort in Nassfeld,Austria,a strategic fit that complements
99、 our summer leisure business in Central and Eastern Europe and the DACH region.This acquisition also builds on the seasonal synergies which can be achieved due to the hotels proximity to our Croatian operations.In addition,Austria is one of the Groups largest customer markets for our Croatian operat
100、ions,and this hotel will help us further raise the Groups profile in this important market.The city of Rome is one of southern Europes key gateway cities and has been a strategic target for the Group.The acquisition in November of a 4-star,101-room property adds another key capital city to our portf

120、ave helped us nurture and support our teams.On behalf of the Board,I would like to thank all our team members for their commitment,professionalism and hard work throughout the year.Strategy updateDuring 2021 we refined our strategy,intended to guide us through our next phase of growth by continuing
121、to do what we do well,taking advantage of opportunities and continuing to mitigate risks through further diversification.Our aim is to continue to focus on upper upscale city centre and lifestyle hotels and continue our investment in our leisure and outdoor offering.In addition,we recognise that our
122、 award-winning hospitality management platform presents an excellent growth opportunity through managing hospitality assets for our joint venture partners and third-party owners.Looking ahead As we have demonstrated throughout the pandemic,as soon as measures are eased we are able to capitalise on t
123、ravel demand,which at the early stage is predominantly driven by domestic leisure travel.The New Year started with restrictions and lockdown measures in place across all our operating regions.However,with the impact of the Omicron variant on hospitalisation rates less significant than initially fear
124、ed latein 2021,governments started easing measures in January,which immediately resulted in an increase in new bookings.In the UK,our most important market,new bookings are currently trending at 65%of the levels in 2019.We have also seen an increase in international bookings as travelling between co
125、untries has become easier.We expect these trends to continue and are confident that in addition to leisure travel,we will shortly see a return of corporate travel with the working-from-home guidance now removed across most of our operating regions.The number of new meetings and events enquiries has
126、remained solid throughout and we expect a particularly buoyant second half of 2022 inthis segment.Our well-invested portfolio,our proactive leadership team and our dedicated and passionate team members will drive our recovery as we prepare for the next phase ofgrowth with several exciting new openin

158、management and routine assessments within each corporate function allows us greater information at the leadership level and ensures each function remains alert to risks and is accountable for reporting on them on a regular basis,whether or not their profile has changed.A solid foundation of risk awa
159、reness and focused risk mitigation has underpinned our resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic and supported the proactive response of ourteams to the various related risk impacts.In 2021,our leadership team has maintained itsflexible and proactive approach to the challenging risk environment.Key ac
160、tions during the year have included the strengthening of our cash position,the rebuilding of our teams to meet demand during periods of recovery and upholding the high standards of health and safety within our hotels and resorts.Our Risk Reward strategy is aligned to our strategic objectives and has
161、 been updated and reviewed by the Board during the year.This year we have demonstrated that our appetite for taking new opportunities through acquisitions remains intact.In obtaining Board approval for acquisitions or development projects,the capacity of management to manage or deliver the project a

169、r events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit,as well as emerging threats like climate change,economic volatility and political instability,to ensure we maintain our organisational and strategic resilience in the years ahead.Our business model and operations could be influenced by many external

171、l cohesion across our regions and markets.We will respond proactively to the changing business environment by focusing on our strategic pillars such as the diversification of our property portfolio,our people and culture,guest satisfaction and our ESG credentials.Global disruptionThe COVID-19 pandem
172、ic has been the biggest risk event we have experienced,andthere is potential for further global orregional disruption through new waves orvariants of the virus emerging.The future direction of the pandemic will determine the severity of our exposure to many of our principal risks.Global travel restr
173、ictions have a significant impact on market demand and economic growth.We could see further disruption through restrictions imposed on our hotel operations or through supply chain issues and labour shortages.Other global conditions such as the conflict in Eastern Europe could also disrupt some of ou
174、r markets through restricted travel and dampened demand.As events unfold,the Board will continue to monitor the impact.We have proven our resilience in the face of COVID-19,and we are well-prepared for future disruption,with robust plans in place to address heightened risk and protect the stability
175、and future growth potential of our business.Macro-economic volatilityVolatility of the long-term economic outlook will also influence our assessment of risk in the year ahead.Changing macro-economic conditions with inflationary pressure and slowing growth could impact the speed of recovery for the h
176、ospitality sector and affect the accessibility of finance to fund future opportunities.We take a proactive approach to monitoring macro-economic factors and act to ensure we are well-positioned to withstand times ofstress and maximise our opportunities asconditions improve.Climate changeThe impact o
177、f climate change will emerge through risks that we are already exposed to.Increasing physical risks such as flooding,water stress and rising mean temperatures across our regions would heighten our principal risk of operational disruption and could increase costs.The global response to climate change
178、 could drive changes in our market over the long term.Carbon pricing and taxes could see the cost of international travel increase which may impact travel patterns from certain market segments.Our guests increased awareness and concern regarding their individual environmental footprint could also im
179、pact market dynamics,presenting as both a risk and an opportunity as more booking decisions would be influenced by environmental credentials.This will also be increasingly important for securing corporate contracts and new meetings and events business with many organisations acting to deliver upon n
180、et-zero carbon pledges.Several of our principal risks could be exacerbated by government commitments to reduce carbon emissions which could lead to further developments and changes in regulation across travel and tourism,construction and property management.Funding could also become increasingly dif
181、ficult to secure as banks increase scrutiny on the environmental credentials and carbon impact of a business as part of their lending process.This year we have performed scenario analysis to improve our understanding of the various physical and transition risks we face in respect of climate change a
182、s well as any associated opportunities.The analysis considered short,medium and long-term threats under three potential scenarios for average temperature increases which are used to assess the risks and to plan and prioritise any associated mitigating activity.See our TCFD Report on pages 87 to 89.W

201、l of our operating regions,however trading bounced back quickly in the second half-year due to pent-up leisure demand.A strong leisure season caused our Croatian region to reach 93%of its 2019 revenues in the third quarter of 2021.Although this was the second time the Group faced severe lockdown and
202、 travel restrictions,reopening the hotels after thisperiod has proved more challenging thanin 2020.Oursignificantly reduced workforce at reopening,paired with a challenging labour market,caused staff shortages in all our operating regions.Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our staff we were a
203、ble to cope with the demand fluctuations throughout the last six months of the year.However,as a consequence of these shortages we are faced with increased wage inflation in all our operating regions.Despite inflationary pressures,the Group continued to take a highly disciplined approach to expendit
204、ure with a large focus on further automation and centralisation of back office functions.Furthermore demand growth throughout the second half of the year showed to have a positive drive to ouraverage room rates,which in some properties were starting to exceed 2019levels.During the year we entered in
205、to a significant joint venture transaction,whereby we divested 49%of two of our London assets toClal Insurance.With this transaction the Group was able to raise 125.8 million,retaining a long-term management contract and control over the assets.The transaction was largely done at the latest reported
206、 NRV of the Group.The proceeds are earmarked to pursue new growth opportunities.Throughout last year we have been active on growing and progressing our pipeline,with the acquisition of two new hotels in Italy and Austria,the start of the redevelopment of anew hotel in Zagreb,and we are entering the
207、completion stages of a two-year redevelopment ofGrand Hotel Brioni in Pula(Croatia).With current trading impacted again by new government restrictions,at the end of the year the Groups hotels returned to reduced occupancy levels,albeit higher than those experienced in the previous lockdowns of the p
208、andemic.Operational PerformanceRevenueThe first six months of the year were dominated by world-wide lockdowns,amid a vaccine roll out programme.The Groups occupancy levels reached a record low in Q1 given these lockdowns and limited essential worker stays.From May onwards restrictions were progressi
209、vely eased across our operating markets and demand started to build up during the summer months.The Group was fortunate to secure an exclusive agreement for Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London to act as official player hotel for the 2021 Wimbledon Championships;furthermore the Group secured a contr
210、act to operate two hotels exclusively as part of the UK Governments hotel quarantine programme.These three exclusive contracts provided the UK with contracted business coming out of a lockdown period,enabling the Group to build up a revenue base.Pipeline growth and a solid financial position FINANCI

213、RT AND ACCOUNTS 2021PPHE HOTEL GROUPAPPENDICESTrading in Q3 benefited from pent-up demand after months of travel restrictions,particularly in Croatia,where revenue reached 93%of its 2019 levels in Q3.However,from late autumn demand and consumer sentiment was again affected by increased infection rat
214、es and enhanced government measures imposed across Europe to tackle the spread of the virus,followed by further strict government restrictions.After a period of two years trading in a pandemic,with multiple periods of trading under strict lockdowns or travel restrictions,the Group has significant le
215、arnings from booking cycles and trading patterns.Coming out of a period of government-restriction period,we notice a less severe impact to our occupancy compared to other lockdown periods and a quicker reverse of the downward booking trends seen after these restrictions were made.Reported total reve
216、nue for the financial yearincreased by 38.9%to 141.4 million(2020:101.8 million).Revenue recovered to39.5%of 2019 levels(2019:357.7 million)RevPAR was 35.9,up 22.1%(2020:29.4),and at34.6%of 2019 levels.Average room rate increased by 11.4%to 117.0(2020:105.1)andwas at 91.1%of 2019 levels.Occupancy im
217、proved to 30.7%(2020:28.0%),reflecting our focus on room rates.Predominantly the summer season in Croatia and the Q4 in the UK showed a rate profile exceeding 2019 on many occasions.EBITDA,profit and earnings per shareThe Group Reported EBITDA is 25.1 million(2020:(10.1)million),of which(14.0)millio
218、n relates to the first six months of 2021 and 39.1 million to the last six months of 2021.Due to the different periods of lockdown,comparing trading periods is increasingly difficult,however the Group believes its third quarter of 2021 was the least distorted trading-wise in terms of government rest
219、rictions,with an EBITDA of 33.7 million.This shows a 38.0%decline when compared tothe COVID-free 2019 trading period,when the Group delivered a54.4 million EBITDA in Q3.The hospitality industry is currently experiencing a challenging labour market as many hospitality workers have left the industry d
220、uring the second period of lockdowns in earlyin 2021,causing staff shortages in all our operating regions.Besides this,many European hospitality workers have left the UK during the pandemic,not being able to return due to a change in immigration rules,which adds to the already limited pool of availa
221、ble people.These staff shortages are causing inflationary pressures in payroll cost across all operating regions.The Group is mitigating these inflationary pressures with the implementation of automation,process improvement and centralisation of back office functions.Similar to 2020,the Group contin
222、ued toaccess government support and grants during periods where government restrictions were imposed and materially impacted the Groups normal trading.These support schemes helped to manage the fixed costs within the business during a period of severe revenue decline.In total,the Group received 29.7
223、 million(2020:34.1 million)of financial support in the year.Normalised profit before tax improved to(47.5)million(2020:(89.8)million).Reported profit before tax improved by 37.1 million to(57.6)million(2020:(94.7)million).Below is a reconciliation table from reported to normalised profit.In millions

247、tions we have calculated the Groups EPRA NRV,EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV.The EPRA NRV as at 31 December 2021,set out in the table below,amounts to 951.2 million,which equates to 22.15 per share.The EPRA NRV was negatively impacted by the loss in the year of 52.1 million and positively impacted by a revalu
248、ation of 82.0 million.The positive revaluation follows an improved forward looking cash flow profile,with the expectation that the worst period of trading is in the past.In its cash flow forecast,the independent valuer assumes trading will be largely in line with 2019 in the year 2024.Discount and c
249、aprates used increased slightly in some instances,reflecting a higher inflationary environment and added risk profile due to the ongoing pandemic.In the summer of 2021 the Group completed a joint venture transaction with Clal Insurance,divesting a non-controlling 49%stake in two hotels in London.Thi

297、 of 12.1 million to fund its portion of the remaining equity commitments of the artotel London Hoxton development project.Clals investment,taking into account existing bank debt and remaining development costs,is based on a 263 million property valuation for Park Plaza London Riverbank and an all-in
298、 development budget cost of 279.3 million for the artotel London Hoxton project.These valuations are in line with the Groups reported NRV inDecember 2020.The Group remains the majority owner of the hotels by retaining a 51%controlling stake in one joint venture company holding(JVCo),and through its
299、management company has secured a 20-year hotel management agreement in respect of both hotels.Clal became a minority partner and owner of 49%of the shares in JVCo,holding indirectly the real estate and operations of these two properties.This agreement provided the Group with an opportunity to raise
300、liquidity on the back of its assets and leverage the equity invested in those assets,which is part of its strategy to have innovative ways in raising cash on the back of its balance sheet.Given the gap in the share price and the Groups NRV,management believes this method of raising liquidity is in t

305、NDICESBusiness review Greg Hegarty Deputy Chief Executive Officer&Chief Operating OfficerWhat sets us apart is our strong sense of purposeIn my second year as the Groups Deputy CEO and COO I have been immensely impressed by our teams flexibility,commitment and passion shown.We ended 2020 filled with
306、 optimism for 2021,driven by the various vaccine developments which were widely seen as the way out of the pandemic.We all hoped that a short period of lockdown over the 2020/2021 winter period would allow us to reopen again early in the New Year.However,strict measures remained in place for a prolo
307、nged period of time and we were only able to reopen our UK portfolio fully in May,and on the continent this was even as late as June and July.In this interim period,however,we maintained many of our teams,made voluntary personal sacrifices and successfully secured several government andessential bus
308、iness travel agreements.Two of our hotels in the UK were included inthe UK Governments quarantine hotel programme,and they delivered an outstanding performance.Our teams workedday and night to prepare the hotels for welcoming guests who were required to isolate.The hotel teams had to constantly find
309、 a balance between delivering the contracted set of services and amenities,which were all geared around minimising guest contact,and offering a hospitableenvironment.As soon as restrictions were eased,demand returned quickly,driven by strong domestic leisure markets and several key sports events,suc
310、h as the Euros,Cricket and,most notably,The Championships,Wimbledon,for which our Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London was chosen asthe official host hotel for the players andsupport teams.When the time came to reopen our properties to the public,we were ready andfilled with excitement.Our teams wer
311、e expanded in line with demand and fully trained and reenergised.During these volatile and uncertain times,we welcomed back several hundred team members who“When the time came to reopen our properties to the public,we were ready and filled with excitement”were on furlough(or equivalent support progr
312、ammes in The Netherlands or Germany),we recruited and onboarded several hundred new team members and delivered the excellent guest experiences in which we take enormous pride.We can reflect on a strong summer for the UK properties and most notably in our Croatian portfolio where in July and August w
313、e delivered a record performance.The momentum experienced in summer unfortunately didnt last in continental Europe as several countries experienced yet another increase in infections,leading to the reintroduction of restrictions.The UK started introducing measures again towards the end of 2021.Howev
314、er,two years into the pandemic,every time measures are lifted we see an immediate pickup in demand for our properties.This gives us great confidence about the future of our industry and the prospects of our Group.As we entered 2020,we had just completed a 100 million investment programme and in 2021
315、 we continued to invest in our pipeline,we completed several acquisitions and upgraded properties.The quality,depth and locations of our portfolio,the excellent guest ratings and highly motivated teams will continue to drive our recovery.The pandemic,combined with the effects of Brexit in the UK,has
316、 had a significant impact on the availability of labour in the hospitality industry.Many hospitality professionals have pursued other careers and employee shortages across our sector have been widely reported.We are not immune to these trends but have benefited enormously from our earlier strategic
317、decision to employ our own accommodation services teams,reducing our exposure.Our in-house team has helped us to cope with the peaks in demand and was able to move between properties.In addition,our recruitment teams were extended,and several new strategies and initiatives were introduced to increas
318、e our talent pool.In my view,what sets our Group apart is our strong sense of purpose,which is built around creating valuable memories for our guests and value for our assets,people and local communities.2021 was another year where we placed these stakeholders at the centre of the decisions we made.
319、Our team members agreed and voted en masse for our Group to be recognised by The Caterer as the Best Employer in Hospitality.In light of the dramatic changes we have experienced as hoteliers and the ways we have had to adjust,I am humbled and feel privileged tobe working with so much talent.During 2
320、021 we engaged KPMG to help us sharpen our overall strategy,ensuring we continue to do what we do well,and explore further growth opportunities.Under the guidance of our Board and leadership team,we refined our corporate strategy,identifying strategic pillars and enablers.Our future focus remains ce
