Hamilton, Bermuda, February 23, 2010. Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. (NYSE: OEH, www.orient-express.com), owners or part-owners and managers of 50 luxury hotels, restaurants, tourist trains and river cruise properties operating in 24 countries, today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009.
For the fourth quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $16.8 million (loss of $0.22 per common share) on revenue of $113.6 million, compared with a net loss of $48.1 million (loss of $1.04 per common share) on revenue of $70.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The net loss from continuing operations for the period was $9.1 million (loss of $0.12 per common share), compared with a net loss of $39.8 million (loss of $0.86 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2008. The adjusted net loss from continuing operations for the period was $9.6 million ($0.12 per common share), compared with adjusted net earnings of $0.1 million ($0.00 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Paul White, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “The early signs of stability seen at the end of the third quarter continued through quarter four, with growth in hotel revenues in all regions and overall revenues (pre Real Estate) up 17%. EBITDA margin was ahead of 2008, with the result that adjusted EBITDA (pre Real Estate) grew by $3.3 million to $13.5 million. Whilst we cannot yet celebrate the end of these challenging times, these results, coupled with improved bookings pace, are strong indicators that the revenue and RevPAR declines of 2009 will not be repeated in 2010.
“In January 2010, we completed the acquisition of two rare assets in Italy, supported by a $131 million equity raise. Elements of this purchase meet every one of Orient-Express Hotels’ investment criteria, including the unique and iconic status of the Grand Hotel Timeo, the location of the properties, the financial upside and barriers to entry. They typify Orient-Express Hotels’ core business - established properties with history and personality. Currently, they both punch below their weight and because they occupy a premier position in the Sicilian market, we are confident we can make significant improvements in performance, as we integrate the properties into the Orient-Express Hotels collection and bring RevPAR and operating margins in line with our existing Italian portfolio. The two hotels will open, post initial renovations, in May 2010.
“2009 has been a very challenging year,” White continued, “with revenues from continuing operations (pre Real Estate) down 14%, or $76.8 million. We have maintained discipline in all areas of expenditure, and most importantly we have made good progress in the management of the portfolio. Hotel das Cataratas was renovated to Orient-Express standards, we increased the number of keys at Jimbaran Puri Bali by 22 and we relaunched
an improved Road to Mandalay after it was badly damaged in Cyclone Nargis. Porto Cupecoy, our Real Estate development in St. Martin, successfully opened in January 2010.”
Business Highlights
Revenue, excluding Real Estate revenue, was $113.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, up $16.8 million from the fourth quarter of 2008. On a same store basis, revenue, excluding Real Estate revenue, was up 9% in US dollars or by $8.7 million.
Revenue from Owned Hotels for the fourth quarter was $90.5 million, including $11.6 million from Charleston Place, South Carolina, which was consolidated from January 1, 2009. On a same store basis, revenue from Owned Hotels increased by 13% year over year. Owned Hotels same store RevPAR was down 7% in local currency. However, because of a weakening of the US dollar in the last quarter, RevPAR in US dollars was up 11% compared to the fourth quarter of last year.
Trains and Cruises revenue in the fourth quarter was $16.2 million, an increase of 7% over the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA before Real Estate and Impairment was $13.5 million compared to $10.2 million in the prior year. The principal variances from the fourth quarter of 2008 included results from owned hotels in Italy (up $3.8 million), Grand Hotel Europe, St Petersburg (up $1.8 million), La Samanna, St. Martin (down $1.5 million), Mount Nelson Hotel, Cape Town (down $1.6 million), and Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (up $1.1 million).
In October, the Company entered into conditional agreements to purchase two hotels in Taormina, Sicily — the 83-room Grand Hotel Timeo, widely considered the most luxurious hotel in Taormina, and the 78-room Villa Sant’Andrea, a nearby hotel on the city’s Bay of Mazzaro with a private beach. The acquisition was completed in January 2010. The total price of the two hotels was approximately $117 million, of which $37 million was paid in cash and the balance was in the form of assumption of existing and new indebtedness relating to the two properties.
In December, the Company’s 50% joint venture company, Peru OEH SA, acquired a fourth property in Peru, the existing Hotel Rio Sagrado in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The 21 suite property, which opened in April 2009, was acquired for US$7 million, funded from the joint venture’s cash reserves plus long term debt of $2.5 million. This brings to five the number of Orient-Express hotels in Peru.
Also in December, agreement was reached to sell Lilianfels Blue Mountains, Australia for AUD21 million ($19.3 million). The cash proceeds from this sale were received in January 2010.
Finally in December, the Company signed an agreement to sell its La Cabaña restaurant in Buenos Aires including the real estate for $2.7 million. Completion is scheduled to take place in March 2010.
The sale of the Windsor Court Hotel, New Orleans to The Berger Company, Inc. was concluded in October for $44.3 million.
After taking account of the sale of Lapa Palace, Lisbon, in June 2009 for $42 million, the Company executed during the year four sales of non-core assets for a total amount of $108 million, of which a balance of $19 million will be received later in 2010.
In October, La Résidence d’Angkor in Siem Reap, Cambodia, opened eight luxury suites in a new wing of this boutique city resort, bringing the total number of rooms at the property to 62. The rooms are located above a new Kong Kea Spa, which has six treatment rooms.
During the quarter, Hotel das Cataratas was relaunched under the Orient-Express brand, following a $27 million renovation to raise the hotel to international standards of style, design and service.
In December, the Company entered into a deferred sale agreement with the luxury destination club Quintess, The Leading Residences of the World, which has the option to purchase four of La Samanna’s free-standing villas for proceeds of $16 million in the first year, $17 million in the second year or $18 million in the third year and will make option payments of up to approximately $0.9 million on each villa.
Porto Cupecoy enjoyed strong sales in the run-up to completion of the construction, with ten apartment contracts signed during the quarter, and a further five units sold since the end of the year. This means that 99 units or 54% of the total are now sold. The grand opening of the development took place in January 2010.
On January 19, 2010, the Company completed its public offering of 13.8 million class A common shares including 1.8 million shares covered by the underwriters’ over-allotment option which was exercised in full. The Company intends to use the net proceeds, $131 million, primarily to pay the cash portion of the purchase price of the two hotels in Taormina, Sicily, and for debt reduction and general corporate purposes.
Regional Performance
Europe: In the fourth quarter, revenues from Owned Hotels were $28.2 million, up 23% from $23.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Same store RevPAR for the region fell by 7% in local currency. EBITDA was $1.0 million in 2009 versus an EBITDA loss of $4.1 million in the prior year. For the region, the effect of the weakening US dollar in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to a strengthening US dollar in the fourth quarter of 2008 had a $3.2 million positive impact on EBITDA versus the prior year.
North America: Revenue was $24.6 million in the fourth quarter, including $11.6 million from Charleston Place. Excluding this hotel, revenue was $1.5 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2008. Excluding EBITDA of $3.2 million from Charleston Place, there was an EBITDA decrease of $1.1 million. Same store RevPAR for the region fell by 18%.
Southern Africa: Revenue of $9.2 million was 9% lower year over year, and EBITDA of $2.6 million was $1.6 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2008.

The fall in EBITDA on a same store basis was mostly attributable to Hotel Ritz Madrid, which continues to operate in adverse market conditions.

During the quarter, a further ten units were sold for a total value of $6.7 million.
Depreciation and amortization: The depreciation and amortization charge for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $11.3 million compared with $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had long term debt of $811.7 million, working capital loans of $6.7 million and cash balances of $92.0 million (including $19.9 million of restricted cash), giving a total net debt of $726.4 million compared with total net debt of $705.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2009. Additionally, at December 31, 2009, Other Liabilities Held for Sale included $6.8 million of debt relating to Lilianfels Blue Mountains, which was repaid in January 2010 when the hotel was sold.
At December 31, 2009, undrawn amounts available to the Company under committed short-term lines of credit were $30.6 million and undrawn amounts available to the Company under secured revolving credit facilities were $12.0 million, bringing total cash availability at December 31, 2009, to $134.6 million, including restricted cash of $19.9 million.

Recent Events in Peru, Bora Bora and Madeira
Heavy rains in late January 2010 caused flooding in the Machu Picchu region of Peru resulting in a series of landslides which severely damaged and eroded railway tracks of the Company’s rail joint venture between Cuzco, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu. Services are currently suspended and none of the joint venture’s trains has been able to operate between Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu since January 23.
Engineers from the Company’s rail joint venture have repaired the track between Machu Picchu and Hydroelectrica, a town upriver from Machu Picchu, and estimate that works to the damaged tracks between Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu, the main access route for tourist and local trains from Cuzco, will be completed by early April, subject to favorable weather conditions.
Management expects the cost of repairs and the disruption to rail operations to be covered by the rail joint venture’s insurance.
The 31 room Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, part of the Company’s hotel joint venture in Peru was not damaged by the floods. Hotel Rio Sagrado, in the Sacred Valley, has reopened, having been evacuated when river levels were very high. The property was not damaged.
On February 4, 2010, Bora Bora Lagoon Resort & Spa, French Polynesia, was hit by tropical Cyclone Oli, with wind speeds reaching 160km per hour. The resort sustained damage and is not expected to re-open before September 2010. It is covered under the Company’s global insurance program.
On February 20, 2010, Madeira experienced heavy rains which temporarily closed the airport and caused major flooding in Funchal. Reid’s Palace was not damaged and is operating normally, but it is not yet known what the impact of cancellations may be. Guests who do not wish to travel in the next couple of weeks are being allowed to rebook during 2010.
Outlook
Commenting on strategy for the year ahead, Paul White said, “In 2010, we will continue with the key strategic actions which we started in 2008, including further sales of non-core assets, the ongoing enhancement of the Orient—Express brand, the sale of developed real estate, and tight controls on both operating and capital expenditure. These strategies, coupled with a determined approach to revenue and EBITDA management, should see debt levels continue to decrease and our net debt to EBITDA and debt service coverage ratio further improved.”

Management evaluates the operating performance of the Company’s segments on the basis of segment net earnings before interest, foreign currency, tax (including tax on unconsolidated companies), depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and believes that EBITDA is a useful measure of operating performance, for example to help determine the ability to incur capital expenditure or service indebtedness, because it is not affected by non-operating factors such as leverage and the historic cost of assets. EBITDA is also a financial performance measure commonly used in the hotel and leisure industry, although the Company’s EBITDA may not be comparable in all instances to that disclosed by other companies. EBITDA does not represent net cash provided by operating, investing and financing activities under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs, and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings from operations or net earnings under U.S. GAAP for purposes of evaluating operating performance.
Adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted E.P.S. of the Company are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by U.S. GAAP. They are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, which may be calculated differently, and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of performance prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Management considers adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted E.P.S. to be meaningful indicators of operations and uses them as measures to assess operating performance because, when comparing current period performance with prior periods and with budgets, management does so after having adjusted for non-recurring items, foreign exchange (a non-cash item) and significant disposals of assets or investments, which could otherwise have a material effect on the comparability of the Company’s core operations. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted E.P.S. are also used by investors, analysts and lenders as measures of financial performance because, as adjusted in the foregoing manner, the measures provide a consistent basis on which the performance of the Company can be assessed.
This news release and related oral presentations by management contain, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These include statements regarding earnings outlook, investment plans, debt reduction, asset sales and similar matters that are not historical facts. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause a difference include, but are not limited to, those mentioned in the news release, unknown effects on the travel and leisure markets of terrorist activity and any police or military response, varying customer demand and competitive considerations, failure to realize hotel bookings and reservations and planned property development sales as actual revenue, inability to sustain price increases or to reduce costs, rising fuel costs adversely impacting customer travel and the Company’s operating costs, fluctuations in interest rates and currency values, uncertainty of negotiating and completing proposed asset sales, capital expenditures and acquisitions, inability to reduce funded debt as planned or to agree bank loan agreement waivers or amendments, adequate sources of capital and acceptability of finance terms, possible loss or amendment of planning permits and delays in construction schedules for expansion or development projects, delays in reopening properties closed for repair or refurbishment and possible cost overruns, shifting patterns of tourism and business travel and seasonality of demand, adverse local weather conditions, changing global and regional economic conditions in many parts of the world and weakness in financial markets, legislative, regulatory and political developments, and possible continuing challenges to the Company’s corporate governance structure. Further information regarding these and other factors is included in the filings by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
