2 An HVS Quarterly Hotel Market Update Demand growth softened in the first quarter of 212 after a phenomenal 211, as global demand contracted amid the unresolved European debt crisis and the slowing of China s economy. HONG KONG HONG KONG VISITOR ARRIVALS Hong Kong welcomed more than 11.2 million visitors in the first quarter of 212, reflecting a 15.6% year-on-year (YOY) increase. Visitor arrivals % 3% from mainland China rose by 21.1% YOY and 1 25% remain the key driving factor behind robust growth.

Apart from China, regional countries also Others USA Taiwan Japan Mainland China South Korea YOY Change contributed to visitor arrival growth. Visitor Source: Hong Kong Tourism Board arrivals from South Korea grew by 17.2% YOY, driven by its strong economy and currency. Indonesia and the Philippines also recorded double-digit growth at 13.% and 17.9%, respectively. Japan recovered from the Tōhoku earthquake and grew by a modest 5.3% YOY. Taiwan, the secondlargest source market for Hong Kong, registered a 2.3% decline YOY, attributable to the presidential elections and a struggling economy that suppressed travel activities. The mature US market registered 1.7% growth YOY. The UK posted 1.1% growth YOY the strongest in the first quarter among long-haul markets. This increase is partially attributable to travel packages that featured the popular annual Rugby Sevens event. HONG KONG OVERNIGHT VISITOR ARRIVALS Visitor arrivals to Hong Kong showed no signs of 7 35% slowing in the first quarter of 212, despite the 6 28% slowdown in Hong Kong s economy (.4% GDP % 14% growth YOY). However, the lingering European debt crisis and the slowing of China s economy cast doubts on Hong Kong s tourism industry. To drive 3 7% visitor arrivals, the Hong Kong Tourism Board 2 % (HKTB) will continue to focus on the vibrant Chinese 1-7% -14% market. The HKTB plans to spend 3% of its HK$182 million marketing budget on the Chinese market in 4Q9 1Q1 2Q1 3Q1 4Q1 1Q11 2Q11 3Q11 4Q11 1Q12 Others USA Taiwan Japan Mainland China South Korea YOY Change Source: Hong Kong Tourism Board 212. The HKTB forecasts full-year visitor arrivals for 212 to reach 44 million, representing a modest 5.5% growth. Millions Millions In the first quarter of 212, 49.5% of visitors to Hong Kong stayed overnight a trend that is further declining as a result of increasing numbers of same-day visitor arrivals from China and a hotel market running at capacity. Notably, overnight visitor arrivals from China were at the lowest level in the first quarter, at 43.8% of total Chinese visitor arrivals (compared PAGE 2 An HVS Quarterly Hotel Market Update Hong Kong
3 to 48.% in 211). Overnight visitor arrivals from South Korea and the Philippines registered the strongest YOY growth at 2.9% and 2.%, respectively, in the first quarter. China, Indonesia and the UK also recorded above 1.% YOY growth. Japan registered healthy growth of 6.5% YOY, while the US market remained resilient.

The pricing strategies of high-end hotels in Hong Kong shifted from a relatively volume-focused strategy in 211 to a price-driven strategy in 212. Average occupancy for the first three months of 212 was 81%, dropping two percentage points YOY. However, a strong occupancy level above the 8% mark allowed hoteliers to adopt aggressive yield strategies to drive average rate. For each of the first three months of 212, the high-end hotel market achieved record-high average rates. March ended with a record-high average rate of HK$2,68, supported by the Rugby Sevens event that drew a large international crowd. Overall, the first-quarter average rate reached HK$2,487, a 13.6% increase YOY. In 212, an estimated 29 new hotels offering a total of 5,854 rooms are expected to enter the Hong Kong market. The outlook for occupancy levels remains positive, given the healthy demand from China. The slowing of China s economy and a soft global economy will prevent rapid expansion in corporate travel budgets. Reliant on market compression, average rate growth in 212 is anticipated to remain healthy but is likely to show resistance in the second quarter, when demand is generally softer, before regaining momentum during traditional peak seasons in the third and fourth quarters. MACAU Macau recorded more than 6.9 million visitor arrivals in the first quarter of 212, a 7.9% growth YOY. Approximately 61% (4.2 million) were mainland Chinese visitors. Strong visitor arrivals from mainland China were supported by increased capacity at gaming tables and the appreciation of the Renminbi. The mainland Chinese market is primarily driven by residents of Guangdong, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. An HVS Quarterly Hotel Market Update Macau PAGE 3
4 MACAU VISITOR ARRIVALS Demand from Japan continued to rebound in the first quarter, posting 8.7% YOY growth. The South Korea market registered strong growth in the first quarter, benefiting from a strong Korean won. Korean visitor arrivals expanded by 18.% YOY. The Philippines also saw visitor arrivals increase by 15.7% YOY. Likewise, Indonesia and India saw healthy growth in visitor arrivals of 8.4% and 6.8%, respectively. However, travel demand from Singapore dropped 14.4% YOY and 47.% quarteron-quarter. This decline is attributable to favourable airfares from Singapore to other destinations such as Japan and Hong Kong, which lured Singapore visitors away from Macau.

In the first quarter of 212, more than 45% of visitors sought hotel accommodation. Total overnight visitor arrivals increased by 8.5% YOY.

Gaming revenue for Macau totalled MOP7.4 billion in the first quarter of 212, reflecting 26.8% growth YOY. While the first-quarter growth rate is significantly lower than 21 and 211 rates, the robust growth is nevertheless impressive, particularly as China s economy is showing signs of a slowdown. Some analysts remain cautious about the gaming industry s prospects, forecasting mere 1% growth in 212 amid concerns about cooling demand from China. However, some analysts have switched to a bullish outlook, estimating 2% to 25% growth in gaming revenue for 212.

Regional markets remain the main feeder markets to China. As Japan recovered from the 211 earthquake, Japanese visitor arrivals to China increased by 13.1% in the first quarter. Taiwan posted 6.4% visitor arrivals growth, amid friendly cross-strait relationships after the election in January. Other nations in the region, such as the Philippines and Indonesia, also recorded double-digit growth in the first quarter.

Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan and North Korea also saw robust visitor arrivals growth, all starting from a low base. The Russian market remained flat in the first quarter, due to the Chinese New Year holidays and the rising costs of travel to popular destinations such as Sanya. All European markets recorded positive YOY growth in the first quarter, driven primarily by Germany, the UK and France. The Oceania region posted 11.9% growth YOY, supported by the Australian market and strong business relations. Visitor arrivals growth from the USA remained stable, at 6.4% YOY.

The Oceania market expanded by 13.8% YOY, starting from a low base. Millions Taiwan continues to drive demand from mainland China with a number of favourable policies. At the end of April, the daily quota for individual mainland Chinese travellers was increased from 5 to 1,. The individual traveller scheme was also expanded at the end of April, allowing residents of nine cities (previously three) to travel to Taiwan individually. The scheme An HVS Quarterly Hotel Market Update China PAGE 5

The outlook for Taiwan s tourism industry is positive; favourable travel policies and arrangements, tourism promotional campaigns and increasing interest in Taiwan are expected to support strong visitor arrival growth.

Hotel development in Shanghai is also expected to expand to the greater Shanghai area as the city expands. Xiamen climbed to third position in the first quarter of 212; while posting a 4.1 percentage point decline in occupancy, Xiamen hotels increased their average rate by 11.2% YOY. Among the top ten markets, Changsha recorded the strongest growth on all metrics. Occupancy rose by 1.3 percentage points to 84%, while average rate increased by 21.8% to RMB337.

The Changsha market features the lowest marketwide average rate among the top ten markets. The opening of more than ten high-end hotels between 213 and 216 is expected to provide uplift to average rate levels here. Beijing has the largest hotel market in China, and its hotel performance continues to improve, backed by a wellperforming, developed economy. However, the city s large hotel room inventory limits rapid marketwide occupancy growth. Beijing hotels recorded healthy average rate growth of 12.3% YOY in the first quarter of 212. The Shenzhen and Guangzhou markets share similar characteristics. Both cities recorded 59% occupancy, with an average rate of roughly RMB44. A mature manufacturing industry and a growing financial industry are expected to be beneficial for the hotel market in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Chengdu, Nanjing and Fuzhou registered similar RevPAR performance. Fuzhou, the smallest market, recorded the highest occupancy rate among the three markets. The Chengdu market posted 1.2% average rate growth YOY in the first quarter of 212, supported by the addition of some 1, business and upscale hotel rooms in 211. In the five-star hotel market, Sanya continued to excel. Marketwide average rate rose 6.% to RMB1,79, setting a new record. Harbin has the second-strongest five-star hotel market due to limited supply (with only two five-star hotels). The average rate at Shanghai five-star hotels slipped by 9.8% YOY in the first quarter, attributable to the holiday season and decreased international demand as the global economy remains uncertain. Guangzhou and Chengdu are relatively mature markets and their five-star hotel markets are largely supported by the MICE industry and various trade shows. Occupancy at Fuzhou dropped 7.4% YOY, while average rate grew 2.9% YOY. The Shenzhen market is relatively mature. Wenzhou has a small five-star hotel market (two hotels) and hence showed healthy performance. An HVS Quarterly Hotel Market Update Hotel Market Performance PAGE 7

10 HOTEL INVESTMENT RISK AND RETURN When valuing or investing in hotel real estate, as in any kind of business, one has to be aware of the level of risk involved in the asset class. There are several types of risk that apply, and while some arise from the macro environment and apply to most assets in the region, others are very specific and unique. There are eight different kinds of risk. Market or Business Risk Is the risk that net operating income will be affected by changes in the market, such as shifts in supply, shifts in demand or both. Market risk is most specific to the property and influenced by the type and location of the property and its stage in the market cycle. Financial Risk Is the risk related to the use of debt to finance an investment, which can result in default, pre-payment, or contractual terms that do not allow for changes in the face of interest rate changes. This risk is influenced by the type and amount of debt. Certain investors prefer not to have any debt on their property in order to reduce their financial risk exposure. Financial risk is driven more by macro conditions rather than the individual property. Capital Market Risk Is the risk that market value will be affected by changes in capital markets, such as changes in equity yield rates, mortgage yield rates, overall yield rates (due to changes in mortgage or equity yield rates), or overall and terminal capitalization rates (due to changes in overall yield rates). Capital market risk is influenced by factors only indirectly related to the individual asset, and includes changes in availability of capital (both mortgage and equity), changes in the level of interest rates and the rate of return for alternative investment opportunities. Liquidity (Marketability) Risk Is the difficulty of converting a real estate investment into cash at market value in a reasonable amount of time. Liquidity risk is both driven by the specific property and the wider market, and reflects the inefficiency of the real estate market. Short-term, opportunistic and non-real estate investors are often concerned about the exit, a risk that promotes the creation of an investment in derivatives and real estate investment trusts (REITs). Environmental Risk Is the risk that the market value of a property will be affected by its physical environment. This risk is influenced by perceived health hazards (eg, SARS), the costs of dealing with potential environmental problems (land remediation) and acts of nature such as flooding, earthquakes and weather conditions. Political and Legislative Risk Is the risk that a potential change in the legal system or legal factors will affect the market value of a property. Political risk is less prevalent in stable and generally strong economies, but can be a factor in emerging markets. Asset seizures by the government would the worst-case scenario that arises from political risk. Legislative risk is influenced by the ability to navigate the permitting process, tax law changes, environmental regulation and PAGE 1 An HVS Quarterly Hotel Market Update Hotel Investment Risk and Return
11 changes in land use regulation (zoning). The latter not only applies to a specific property, but also to the neighbourhood and other/competing districts within the area. Inflation (Purchasing Power Risk) Is the risk that unexpected inflation will cause cash flow from operations and reversion to lose purchasing power. At the same time, inflation drives interest rates and the availability of capital. Proper lease provisions can partially provide protection on the revenue side; however, such provisions are difficult to implement in the dayto-day business of hotels. Management Risk Is the risk that management cannot ensure that the property meets defined goals; this risk defines in great part the owner operator relationship. Management risk is influenced by the competence of management, the type of property (limited-service versus luxury resort) and the fit between the two (and the owner). When conducting operator searches for clients, this match is an important factor we consider in evaluating and selecting operators. Risk and Return By nature, the above risks are interlinked and not always controllable. For example, an environmental disaster can warrant new legislation that changes capital markets with knock-on effects in financial risk and market risk. How can investors manage the above risks when buying or developing hotels? Sufficient due diligence is critical for anyone to get a good sense of the risks involved. Hence, the definition of market value includes mention of a knowledgeable buyer. These risks need to be quantified and cumulated. At the same time, risk relates to probability or standard HIGHER RISK CALLS FOR A HIGHER RETURN Apartment Office Hotel In an efficient market, riskier classes of real estate should call for a higher expected return. Hotels have the highest risk given that leases are on a daily basis and operations are complex. As a result, hotel investors should require a return premium over other assets. An investor educated in hospitality can be confident and comfortable with the higher risk profile. deviation of potential future financial outcomes. A greater standard deviation or lower probability/certainty or higher risk calls for a higher return in order to make a compelling investment proposition. An HVS Quarterly Hotel Market Update Hotel Investment Risk and Return PAGE 11
12 The return is commonly referred to as Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Equity Yield or Discount Rate. Notably, the IRR derives from the cash flow generated by an investment, whereas the Equity Yield relates to the capital structure and requirements of the investing entity. If the IRR does not exceed the Equity Yield (as a hurdle), the investment should not be made. RETURN AND PROBABILITY (MATURE MARKET) Through a mortgage, an investor can assume financial risk and ideally obtain a higher (leveraged) return on his equity. In this case, the Discount Rate would be different from the Equity Yield (which is usually higher than interest rates). This typical distribution shows the return probability for hotels to be least symmetric. Offering lower probabilities for higher maximum returns than other classes, hotels also have a higher probability to incur a negative return on investment. More importantly, equity yields are unique to each investor and depends on a range of factors, including the type of business (fund, conglomerate, REIT), the geographic location of the company and its main business interests, its balance sheet, and shareholder/investor expectations. Based on our work in the industry, we have come across a range of return requirements, starting from 8.% over 2 years for development projects to 3.% in three years for an opportunistic investor. To determine a market s equity yield, surveys can be conducted. Alternatively, the return profile of investment alternatives, such as stock in corporations, REITs or investment in a fund, can be reviewed. If asked, can you quantify your company s Equity Yield?.
