Fibra Inn Announces Hotel Indicators for September 2017 and Third Quarter 2017

MONTERREY, México, Oct. 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deutsche Bank Mexico, S.A., Banking institution, Trust Division F/1616 or Fibra Inn (BMV:FINN13) (ADR OTC:DFBRY) (“Fibra Inn” or “the Company”), an internally managed Mexican real estate investment trust specialized in the hotel industry serving the business traveler, today announced its operating results for its hotel indicators for the month of September 2017 and the third quarter of the year.

MONTHLY SAME-STORE SALES
41 hotels Sep 2017 Sep 2016 Change %
Room Revenue (Ps. millions) 138.4   140.7   -1.6 %
Occupancy exc. addition of rooms 59.3 % 62.1 %  -2.8 pp
Occupancy  59.2 % 62.1 % -2.9 pp
ADR (Ps.)   1,192.6     1,158.2   3.0 %
RevPar exc. addition of rooms   707.6     719.4   -1.6 %
RevPar (Ps.) 706.0   719.4   -1.9 %

The 1.6% decline in Revenue per Available Room was due to the net effect of the 3.0% average daily rate increase and the 2.8 percentage-point decline in occupancy. This decline was due to decelerations in some of the locations, the unusual number of cancellations, and therefore the lower number of guests due to recent meteorological phenomena:

  1. Hurricane Harvey, which affected Texas and the coastal region of the Gulf of Mexico. The most significant impact of this meteorological phenomenon was the closing of the Houston International Airport (IAH), which has among the highest connectivity of flights to all of Mexico, as well as the fact that residents in that area also cancelled their trips.
  2. Earthquakes in the central and southern regions of the country, thereby affecting the Holiday Inn Coyoacán hotel; as well as the cancelation of trips by local residents to other locations as well as travelers from other cities who had trips planned to the areas affected by the earthquake.
  3. Hurricane Irma affected Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, which resulted in the cancellation of flights to the Atlanta International Airport and to all Florida airports, as well as the change of scheduled trips by residents in this region

The same-store sales calculation considers all of the hotels which have been in Fibra Inn’s portfolio for at least half of the period. In this case, it is important to consider that two hotels are excluded from the September calculation. These are the Casa Grande Ciudad Juárez, which will remain closed beginning in September due to its expansion and conversion to the Holiday Inn brand; and the Holiday Inn México Coyoacán, which temporarily interrupted operations as a result of the earthquake this past September 19 and has, at this time, already re-initiated operations.

Fibra Inn has a portfolio of 43 total properties, with 7,115 rooms. Additionally, Fibra Inn has a minority interest in two properties, currently being externally developed under the Strategic Hotel Acquisition Pipeline model, representing 430 rooms.
