REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
TORONTO, July 22, 2004– Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“FHR” or the “Company”) (TSX/NYSE: FHR) today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Second Quarter 2004 Highlights
• | Operating revenues1 increased 20.6 % to $210.3 million; | |||
• | Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for the comparable owned portfolio improved 22.7%. Occupancy improved 10.7 points (19.8%) and average daily rate (“ADR”) increased 2.5%; | |||
• | RevPAR for the comparable managed portfolio increased 18.0%, driven by 5.5% ADR growth and a 7.2 point (11.8%) occupancy increase; | |||
• | EBITDA2 increased 44.0% to $62.5 million; | |||
• | Net income of $29.0 million and earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.37 increased approximately 85% over 2003 levels excluding a favorable income tax recovery of $24.4 million in the second quarter of 2003. |
“The lodging industry continues to benefit from a widespread recovery in travel demand. We have enjoyed a remarkable rebound in performance at our Canadian properties since last year and are pleased to report considerable RevPAR growth throughout our portfolio, driven by solid occupancy and rate improvements in most markets,” said William R. Fatt, FHR’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our overall performance was in line with our expectations for the second quarter, demonstrating significant improvement over 2003 and continuing momentum from earlier this year.”
Second Quarter Ownership Operations
Revenues from hotel ownership improved 17.7% to $180.6 million in the second quarter. The increase was driven by solid performance improvements at our U.S. and international properties as well as our Canadian portfolio. Most of the large resorts recorded double-digit revenue growth over 2003, including considerable improvements at The Fairmont Orchid, The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.
RevPAR of $132.41 was up 22.7% in the second quarter, resulting from the combination of a 10.7 point improvement in occupancy and a 2.5% increase in average daily rate (“ADR”). The U.S. and International owned comparable portfolio enjoyed considerable improvements in ADR and occupancy of 4.1% and 9.3 points, respectively, resulting in RevPAR growth of 22.5%. Solid occupancy growth at all of the Canadian owned hotels resulted in a considerable RevPAR improvement of 23.6%. When compared to the second quarter of 2003, the average Canadian dollar exchange rate for the quarter appreciated approximately 3% against the U.S. dollar. Adjusting for the foreign exchange impact, RevPAR for the Canadian portfolio was up approximately 20%.
1
Equity income generated from FHR’s investment in Legacy Hotels Real Estate Investment Trust (“Legacy” or the “Trust”) was $2.8 million compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the same period last year. Legacy’s portfolio continues to show significant growth over 2003 levels given its recovery from the impact of SARS.
On June 28, 2004, FHR completed the sale of a land block zoned for residential use in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour. FHR received gross proceeds of $14.1 million for its 75% interest in the land, recording an $8.3 million profit on the sale. Overall real estate activities generated $18.1 million in revenues and $8.4 million in EBITDA compared to $12.3 million and $6.6 million, respectively in 2003.
Second Quarter Management Operations
Fairmont
Revenues under management of $445 million increased 21.7% over 2003, a portion of which was attributed to the addition of two new management contracts. Management fee revenues were up 30.5% to $13.7 million, as a result of higher revenues as well as considerable improvement in incentive fees.
For the Fairmont managed portfolio, RevPAR increased 18.0% to $123.59. RevPAR for the U.S. and International portfolio showed solid improvement with RevPAR up 15.1%, resulting from an occupancy gain of 5.1 points combined with an ADR increase of 6.3%. The Canadian comparable portfolio reported a 22.5% RevPAR improvement, driven by increases in ADR and occupancy of 6.0% and 9.3 points, respectively. Adjusting for the foreign exchange impact, RevPAR at the Canadian portfolio was up approximately 19% over 2003.
Delta
In the second quarter, Delta’s revenues under management increased 16% to $93 million. Management fee revenues of $3.6 million were up 38% from last year. During the quarter, RevPAR increased 20.4% resulting from a 3.1% ADR increase and a 9.7 point improvement in occupancy. Adjusting for the foreign exchange impact, RevPAR was up approximately 17%.
Six months Consolidated Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, operating revenues increased 10.6% to $378.5 million from $342.3 million in the prior period. The U.S. and international properties were the major contributors to this increase led by The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. EBITDA of $96.6 million was up 12.9% from last year.
Equity losses generated from FHR’s investment in Legacy were $4.5 million compared to equity losses of $6.8 million in 2003. Legacy’s portfolio continues to gain momentum after a challenging year in 2003 given the concerns relating to SARS.
FHR continues to dispose of its undeveloped land. In the first six months of 2004, overall real estate activities generated $21.4 million in revenues and $8.8 million in EBITDA compared to $31.2 million and $15.9 million in 2003, respectively.
Net income in 2003 included a $24.4 million, or $0.31 per share, income tax recovery from a favorable tax reassessment recorded in June. As a result, year-to-date net income of $28.4 million was down 46.0% compared to the prior year while basic EPS was $0.36 in 2004 compared to $0.66 in 2003. Excluding this tax recovery, net income and EPS were slightly higher than 2003 levels.

Capital Expenditures
Hotel related capital expenditures for the quarter totaled $24.2 million. Several projects were completed during the quarter including:
• | The renovation of the meeting rooms and final phase of the guestrooms at The Fairmont Copley Plaza Boston; and | |||
• | The construction of the meeting facility at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. |
The Company now expects that 2004 capital expenditures will be in the range of $75 — $85 million.
Announcements and Corporate Activities
On July 15, 2004, FHR sold its real estate interest in The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui to Host Marriott Corporation for $355 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $109 million. Our third quarter earnings will include an after-tax gain on the sale of approximately $68 million. The resort will continue to be known as The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui and will be managed by Fairmont under the existing long-term management contract, which expires in 2051.
“This was an attractive time to capitalize on our success with The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui. It reinforces our strategy of acquiring attractive assets, realizing the value created through improved performance and then redeploying the capital to continue growing the Company,” said Mr. Fatt.
On July 9, 2004, FHR sold The Fairmont Glitter Bay in Barbados to a group of investors for approximately $31 million. The sale resulted in an after tax gain of about $8 million that will be reflected in our third quarter earnings. The resort continues to be managed by the Company as The Fairmont Glitter Bay.
FHR expects to reinvest a portion of the proceeds from these sales in additional hotels over the course of the next year. In addition, FHR will acquire the remaining interest in the Fairmont management company, increase its share purchases under its existing share repurchase program and, in the interim, reduce existing indebtedness, including the repayment of the $120 million mortgage on The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui.
During the quarter, FHR repurchased 208,400 shares under its normal course issuer bid at a total cost of $5.4 million. Under the current normal course issuer bid, FHR is authorized to purchase up to 3,900,000 of its common shares for the twelve-month period ending October 5, 2004.
Outlook
“Improving industry fundamentals continue to gain momentum. This trend is translating into a sustainable recovery for the Company. Our group bookings are in-line with our 2004 outlook and our tour business for the peak summer months is ahead of expectations, returning to 2002 levels,” said Mr. Fatt.
There has been some short-term softness in U.S. travel outside of the United States. This has affected the performance of Fairmont’s Canadian properties relative to our original expectations. This segment of our business has rebounded significantly over 2003 levels, and we are encouraged about the long-term growth potential of our world-class Canadian resorts. “
FHR’s previous 2004 EBITDA guidance of $210 — $220 million has been revised to reflect the lost earnings from the two recent hotel sales ($13 million), the short-term softness in U.S. travel into Canada ($6 million), lower real estate earnings ($2 million) and some modest increases in corporate expenses. FHR now estimates that 2004 EBITDA will be in the range of $185 — $195 million, including approximately $7 million from real estate activities.
3
Including the $76 million gain from the two hotel sales ($0.96 per share), net income is estimated to be between $132 — $138 million and basic EPS to be in the range of $1.67 – 1.75, assuming a full-year tax rate of approximately 31%.
“This is an exciting time for Fairmont. Our solid balance sheet and new development team position us to further grow the Company and expand the Fairmont brand. In addition, our recently renovated portfolio of world-class properties is poised to benefit from the overall recovery in the industry,” said Mr. Fatt. “In 2004, our intent remains to add two to four properties to our portfolio while continuing to seek development opportunities in resort destinations to increase the exposure of our existing portfolio.”
FHR has updated its 2004 portfolio seasonality information on the Company’s website to reflect the revised earnings estimates.

FHR’s 2003 quarterly operating statistics for its 2004 comparable hotel portfolios as at June 30, 2004 are available on the Company’s website (www.fairmont.com/investor).
1. | Operating revenues excludes other revenues from managed and franchised properties (consists of direct and indirect costs relating primarily to marketing and reservation services that are reimbursed by hotel owners on a cost recovery basis). Management considers that the exclusion of such revenues provides a meaningful measure of operating performance, however, it is not a defined measure of operating performance under Canadian GAAP. It is likely that FHR’s calculation of operating revenues is different than the calculation used by other entities. | |||
2. | EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes and amortization. Income from investments and other is included in EBITDA. Management considers EBITDA to be a meaningful indicator of hotel operations and uses it as the primary measurement of operating segment profit and loss. However, it is not a defined measure of operating performance under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”). It is likely that FHR’s calculation of EBITDA is different than the calculations used by other entities. EBITDA is represented on the consolidated statements of income as “operating income before undernoted items”. |

1. | Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“FHR”) has operated and owned hotels and resorts for over 116 years and currently manages properties principally under the Fairmont and Delta brands. At June 30, 2004, FHR managed or franchised 82 luxury and first-class hotels. FHR owns 83.5% of Fairmont Hotels Inc. (“Fairmont”), which at June 30, 2004, managed 44 properties in major city centers and key resort destinations throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, Bermuda, Barbados and the United Arab Emirates. Delta Hotels Limited (“Delta”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FHR, managed or franchised 38 Canadian hotels and resorts at June 30, 2004. | |||
In addition to hotel and resort management, as at June 30, 2004, FHR had hotel ownership interests ranging from approximately 15% to 100% in 24 properties, located in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Bermuda, Barbados and the United Arab Emirates. FHR also has an approximate 35% equity interest in Legacy Hotels Real Estate Investment Trust (“Legacy”), which owns 24 hotels and resorts across Canada and the United States. FHR also owns real estate properties that are suit able for either commercial or residential development, and has a vacation ownership product. | ||||
Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year due to seasonal and short-term variations. Revenues are typically higher in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the year. | ||||
2. | These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures as required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 presented in the annual report. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies used in the December 31, 2003 audited consolidated financial statements, except as discussed below. | |||
Hedging Relationships Effective January 1, 2004, FHR implemented new guidance on accounting for hedging relationships. The new guidelines specify the circumstances in which hedge accounting is appropriate, including the identification, documentation, designation and effectiveness of hedges and also the discontinuance of hedge accounting. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. | ||||
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants has issued new accounting standards surrounding GAAP and financial statement presentation. These standards lay out a framework for the application of GAAP and the fair presentation of financial standards in accordance with GAAP and are effective for years beginning January 1, 2004. No changes to accounting principles or financial statement presentation were required as FHR was already in full compliance with these new standards. | ||||
Assets Held for Sale Long-lived assets are classified as held for sale when specific GAAP criteria are met. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair values less costs to dispose and are no longer amortized. Assets classified as held for sale and liabilities related to these assets are reported separately on the balance sheet. A component of FHR that is held for sale is reported as a discontinued operation if the operations and cash flows of the component will be eliminated from ongoing operations as a result of the sale and FHR will not have a significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the sale. | ||||
3. | In June 2004, FHR finalized an agreement with Host Marriott Corporation to sell The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui for cash proceeds of $355.0. As such, the assets and the liabilities of The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui have been reclassified to “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities related to assets held for sale”, respectively. As at June 30, 2004, The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui had property and equipment with a carrying value of $242.4 and a working capital deficit of $2.5. The transaction closed on July 15, 2004 and the mortgage of $120.0 on this property was repaid. As of June 30, 2004, the mortgage was classified on the balance sheet as current portion of long-term debt. The after-tax gain on the sale of approximately $68.0 will be recognized in the third quarter. The resort will continue to be managed by Fairmont under a long-term management contract. The assets and liabilities of this property are currently included in the hotel ownership segment (note 8). | |||
In June 2004, FHR finalized an agreement to sell The Fairmont Glitter Bay for cash proceeds of approximately $31.0. As such, the assets and the liabilities of The Fairmont Glitter Bay have been reclassified to “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities related to assets held for sale” respectively. As at June 30, 2004, The Fairmont Glitter Bay had property and equipment with a carrying value of $20.6. The transaction closed on July 9, 2004 and the mortgage of $5.2 on this property was repaid. The after-tax gain on the sale of approximately $8.0 will be recognized in the third quarter. As of June 30, 2004, the mortgage was classified on the balance sheet as current portion of long-term debt. The resort will continue to be managed by Fairmont under a long-term management contract. The assets and liabilities of this property are currently included in the hotel ownership segment (note 8). | ||||
4. | In March 2004, FHR entered into a new $400 unsecured credit facility due March 2007. The interest rate is floating and is calculated based on the borrower’s choice of prime rate, bankers acceptance or LIBOR plus a spread. | |||
5. | In April 2004, FHR finalized an agreement to invest $15.6 for a 14.5% interest in The Fairmont Dubai. This investment is accounted for using the equity method. In the quarter, $15.6 was reclassified from “Other assets and deferred charges” to “Investments in partnerships and corporations”. |
