MCK interim results for six months to 30 June 2024

New Zealand hotel owner and operator, Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited (MCK), has today

announced its unaudited results for the six months to 30 June 2024 and reported revenue growth of 42% and an increase

in net profit before tax of 88% compared to the same period last year.


As announced last week, MCK recognised a one-off non-cash deferred tax liability adjustment amounting to $25.76m

which arose from a change in tax legislation that came into effect this year and relates to the depreciation of buildings

owned by MCK. The effect of the adjustment, which does not affect MCK’s trading position or cash flow, meant that MCK

recorded an after tax loss for the period of $10.17 million.


MCK was able to show

improving occupancy and profit in the Hotels business, despite a slowdown in demand for

corporate travel and meetings. The first half of the financial year was the first time in five years where the hotels have

been able to operate without the impact of pandemic restrictions, weather-related issues or large staffing shortages.


Outside of the hotel operations, MCK’s majority owned property development subsidiary, CDL Investments New Zealand

Limited (CDI), improved its contribution to group profit, recording a 32% increase on its 2023 profit before tax. CDI

believes that the property markets have passed peak trough and are showing signs of recovery and are still targeting an

improvement on their 2023 results by year end.


MCK Chairman Colin Sim, said the strong Hotels result was reflective of the hard work of the team and the successful

execution of the Revive and Thrive strategy.


“Our team has worked hard to attract both international and domestic visitors, improve our hotel offer, and drive room

profitability in a challenging trading environment. Despite economic headwinds and depressed demand in some regions as

a result of reduced business and government demand, the good news is that tourism, particularly from overseas,

continues to improve. We expect another strong result from our Hotels business in the 2024/25 high season, with CDI also

expected to deliver a year on year improvement, as the number of sections sales increases over time.”


Business highlights for the period include positive progress on the Hotels refurbishment programme, the inclusion of

Sofitel Brisbane Central hotel in the Hotels portfolio, and the continued sell down of the Zenith apartments in Australia.


MCK’s Managing Director, Stuart Harrison, said the performance of the Sofitel Brisbane Central hotel over the last six

months had provided many learnings. “The hotel’s trading metrics are positive. In the first quarter, the hotel saw growth

in average daily rate and occupancy ahead of budget. A recent highlight for the hotel was hosting multiple teams over the

NRL’s Magic Round in May and the State of Origin final game in July which emphasised how popular the hotel is for

sporting teams and spectators coming to Brisbane.”

Group revenue was $85.32m (1H23: $60.05m), with profit before tax and non-controlling interests of $21.53m (1H23:

$11.47m). Group loss after tax and non-controlling interests of $(11.75m) (1H23: $6.18m) was impacted by a one-off non-

cash $25.76m deferred tax liability adjustment as a result of a change in tax legislation. Excluding this adjustment and

other one-off items, profit after tax was $12.57m.


Earnings per share for the period was -7.42 cents per share (1H23: 3.9 cps). Net Tangible Assets per share as at 30 June

2024 was $3.36 per share (Dec 2023: $3.46 per share).


Outlook


The Hotels business now has good staffing levels and more room capacity following completion of certain refurbishment

works. While some regions have seen a dampening in demand, other areas such as Queenstown remain extremely strong.

Economic headwinds remain challenging and there are no major tourist attractions, such as last year’s FIFA Women’s

World Cup, planned for the winter period. These trends of dampened demand are expected to continue into the third

quarter, but with a resurgence of activity from overseas visitors in quarter four.


CDL Investments 2024 sales performance is showing improvement and the company is also positioning itself for future

diversification with its recent purchase of industrial-zoned land in Christchurch. MCK will see the benefits from both in the

near to medium term.


Stuart Harrison commented: “One matter which is hampering our ability to optimise our future projections is the lack of

any clear direction, new initiatives or funding announced by Government in relation to boosting tourism. With other

countries actively competing for world-class events and receiving government funding to do so, there is a real risk of New

Zealand missing out and creating a disadvantage which will take some years to fix. Our view is that such funding would be

a wise investment and help the tourism and accommodation industries “get back on track” and secure their medium-term

futures.”


He continued: “Our team are highly focused on securing business across all market segments and in all regions for the

remainder of the year and into 2025. We have set ourselves stretch targets for both revenue and profit for this year and

we are determined to achieve these. Our half year profit before tax result highlights that we are making excellent progress

on our strategy and laying the groundwork to truly Thrive from 2025 onwards”, he said.

4. Earnings per share


The basic earnings per share of -7.42 cents (30 June 2023: 3.90 cents) is based on the profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary

shareholders of -$11.7 million (30 June 2023: $6.18 million) and weighted average number of ordinary shares and redeemable

preference shares outstanding during the period ended 30 June 2024 of 158,218,286 (30 June 2023: 158,218,286).


The redeemable preference shares are included in the computation of earnings per share as they rank equally with ordinary

shares in respect of distributions made by the Company except any distribution in the case of liquidation.


The calculation of diluted earnings per share of -7.42 cents (30 June 2023: 3.90 cents) is the same as basic earnings per share.

Impact of change in tax depreciation


Before 2010, all components of commercial buildings were depreciable for tax purposes. On 28 March 2024, the Taxation

(Annual Rates for 2023-24, Multinational Tax, and Remedial Matters) legislation was enacted, encompassing a range of

changes to tax legislation including the removal of the tax deduction for depreciation on building core of commercial buildings.


As a result of the change in legislation, income tax expense and deferred tax liability has increased by $25.8m for the six months

ended 30 June 2024.

9. Investment in joint venture


A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, over the financial and operating policies. They are

accounted for using the equity method. The financial statements include the Group’s share of the income, expenses and

reserves of the joint venture from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases. When the Group’s

share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-

term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has

an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the joint venture.


During 2023, the Group through Kingsgate Holdings Pty Limited (100% subsidiary) formed a 50:50 joint venture with its Parent

Company to acquire the leasehold assets and the freehold assets of the Sofitel Brisbane Central hotel in Queensland,

Australia. The joint venture is Marquee Hotel Holdings Pty Ltd Limited. Within the Marquee Hotel Holdings group, there are six

wholly owned entities. Marquee Hotel Holdings group completed the acquisition of the Sofitel Brisbane Central on 15

December 2023. The hotel is managed by an external hotel management group.


The Group’s share of loss in its joint venture for the period ended 30 June 2024 was $19,016.
