The €518-million transaction includes a €52-million renovation program at the new owner’s expense. On top of this amount, extensions to two of the existing properties will be financed by the owner for a total of €30 million.
Accor will continue to operate the hotels under the same brands through 12-year variable leases, whose rents are based on an average 16% of revenue a year with no guaranteed minimum. The leases are renewable six times, for a total of 84 years. Based on estimated 2007 revenue, the variable rent would amount to €29.6 million, net of €3.7 million in insurance costs, property taxes and structural maintenance capex, which are now at the owner’s expense.
This transaction is part of the € 1.9 billion asset disposal program as presented by the Group in September 2007. Accor continues to deploy its innovative asset management strategy designed to both reduce earnings volatility and emphasize the focus on hotel operations.
Furthermore, the transaction enables Accor to partner with a leading European Property Company. The partnership agreement calls for the development of new economy and midscale hotels in France and Switzerland under the same operating structure, thereby enabling the Group to step up its expansion program in these countries.
From a financial standpoint, this transaction will enable Accor to reduce its adjusted net debt by approximately €350 million in 2008, of which € 300 million of cash impact, and will add around €5 million to 2008 profit before tax.
