The increase is mainly due to a strong LFL&R revenue increase of + 16.8m (+7.1%) and openings of + 2.7m (+1.1%), partly offset by exits of - 10.1m (-4.1%) and FX of - 5.2m (-2.1%) EBITDA increased by + 5.8m (16.9%) to 40.2m and the EBITDA margin increased by +2.1 pp to 15.9%. The increase is mainly due to the LFL&R revenue increase and a reduction in operating costs in leased hotels, lower restructuring costs and an increase in fee revenue. This was partly offset by higher costs for marketing (due to timing of activities). EBIT decreased by - 1.0m (-4.8%) to 19.8m. The increase in EBITDA is offset by higher costs for write-downs in line with plan, and increased depreciation costs due to higher capex Net Income decreased by - 5.3m (-36.8%) to 9.1m impacted by higher net financial expenses due to the bond issue and the subsequent consent solicitation process 4
