2017 Financial Performance Income Statement MUR M MUR M MUR M The rise of 20% in revenue of the Hotels and Resorts cluster can be mainly attributed to Shangri-La s Le Touessrok and Four Seasons at Anahita luxury resorts being fully operational the entire financial year and to Kanuhura s re-opening in mid-december 2016. Effective since November 2016, Sun s new rate strategy is also contributing to the positive results of the cluster. However the renovation of phase one of La Pirogue and closure in June 2017 as well as the operational loss of Kanuhura since its relaunch weighed on the year s financial performance. Non-recurring closure, restructuring and branding costs have substantially decreased while finance costs have slightly risen due to higher renovation-related indebtedness. 2017 2016 Var Revenue 6,007 4,989 1,018 EBITDA 919 714 205 Non-recurring Items (124) (534) 410 Profit after Tax (121) (378) 257 Profit attributable (77) (188) 111 Sun Group is currently expecting a reduction in the gearing ratio from 55% as at 30 June 2017 to 42% by the end of the 2018 financial year following the MUR 5bn multi-currency note programme and the rights issue and the private placement of MUR 1.86bn. With a full room inventory as from August 2018 and a fully renovated asset base, the 2018 financial year should reflect a gradual improvement in profits. 63 ABOUT CIEL STRATEGY & PERFORMANCE PORTFOLIO REVIEW RISK MANAGEMENT SUSTAINABILITY CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FACTS AND FIGURES
