Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1.    Basis of financial statement presentation

Business

In this report Belmond Ltd. is referred to as the “Company”, and the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “Belmond”. On June 30, 2014, the Company changed its name from Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. to Belmond Ltd. following approval by shareholders at the 2014 annual general meeting held on that date. On July 28, 2014, the Company changed the ticker symbol of its class A common shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange from OEH to BEL.

At September 30, 2015, Belmond owned, invested in or managed 35 deluxe hotels and resort properties operating in the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, Southern Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia, one stand-alone restaurant in New York, seven tourist trains in Europe, Southeast Asia and Peru, two river cruise businesses in Myanmar (Burma) and one canal boat business in France.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim period have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The interim results presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding significant accounting policies.

For interim reporting purposes, Belmond calculates its tax expense by estimating its global annual effective tax rate and applies that rate in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Belmond has calculated an expected annual effective tax rate, excluding significant, unusual or extraordinary items, and the tax effect of jurisdictions with losses for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized. The income tax expense (or benefit) related to all other items is individually computed and recognized when the items occur.

Reclassifications

Discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale were reclassified in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. See Note 3 for a summary of the results of discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the prior year.

Functional currency change

Prior to 2014, Belmond’s Brazilian operations used the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Effective January 1, 2014, Belmond changed the functional currency to the Brazilian real. Belmond believes that the growth in the Brazilian operations’ real-denominated revenues and expenses indicated a change in the economic facts and circumstances that justified the change in the functional currency. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a foreign currency translation adjustment loss of $49,356,000 arising on the remeasurement of non-monetary assets and liabilities of Belmond’s Brazilian operations, of which the majority related to property, plant and equipment, is included in other comprehensive losses.

Accounting pronouncements adopted during the period

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that amends the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about disposal transactions. The revised guidance will change how entities identify and disclose information about disposal transactions. The guidance is effective prospectively for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on Belmond’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Accounting pronouncements to be adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to improve the comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. The guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the new guidance. The guidance was originally effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however in July 2015 the FASB confirmed that the effective date would be deferred by one year. Belmond is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements. Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern”. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. Belmond is assessing what impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued new guidance which amends consolidation requirements and changes the analysis required in relation to variable interest entities and whether or not these entities should be consolidated. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. Belmond is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The standard does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs, which would continue to be calculated using the interest method and be reported as interest expense. Additionally, the other areas of U.S. GAAP that prescribe the accounting treatment for third-party debt issuance costs will not be affected. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis when applicable. Debt issuance costs included in Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $12,220,000 at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $13,095,000).

3.    Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no properties were classified as held for sale.

For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014, the results of operations of Ubud Hanging Gardens, Bali, Indonesia and the Porto Cupecoy development on the Dutch side of St Martin, French West Indies have been presented as discontinued operations.

During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014, Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond, St. Michaels, Maryland was sold. Due to Belmond's continuing involvement in managing the hotel, its results are presented within continuing operations.

(a)    Properties sold: Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond

On March 21, 2014, Belmond completed the sale of the property and operations of Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond for consideration of $39,700,000, of which $25,680,000 was paid in cash, $11,020,000 was settled directly with the lender to repay the debt facility secured by the property, and $3,000,000 was a key money contribution from Belmond to the buyer to be used for agreed capital enhancements. Belmond will continue to manage the hotel for the new owner under a management agreement with a ten-year term that permits termination on the fifth anniversary of the agreement. The disposal resulted in a gain of $6,704,000, of which $3,704,000 was recognized on completion on March 21, 2014 and $3,000,000 was deferred to be recognized over the initial period of the management agreement. The gain on sale of $3,704,000 recognized on March 21, 2014 and the subsequent release of the deferred gain is reported within gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment in the statements of condensed consolidated operations.

The following is a summary of net assets sold and the gain recorded on sale for Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond:

(b)    Results of discontinued operations

Belmond had been operating the hotel Ubud Hanging Gardens under a long-term lease arrangement with a third-party owner. The existing lease arrangement continues to 2030. Following an unannounced dispossession of Belmond from the hotel by the owner in November 2013, however, Belmond was unable to continue to operate the hotel. Belmond believed that the owner's actions were unlawful and constituted a wrongful dispossession and has pursued its legal remedies under the lease. See Note 17. As Belmond is unable to operate Ubud Hanging Gardens for the foreseeable future, the hotel has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods shown. The assets and liabilities of the hotel have not been classified as held for sale, as the hotel has not been disposed of through a sale transaction.

The Porto Cupecoy development was sold in January 2013, with the final unit disposed of in September 2014. Revenue and residual costs relating to the sale of Porto Cupecoy are presented within discontinued operations for all periods shown.

Summarized operating results of the properties classified as discontinued operations for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

See Note 17.

(c)    Assets and liabilities held for sale

There were no properties classified as held for sale at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

4.    Variable interest entities

(a)    VIEs of which Belmond is the primary beneficiary

Belmond holds a 19.9% equity investment in Charleston Center LLC, owner of Belmond Charleston Place, Charleston, South Carolina. Belmond has also made a number of loans to the hotel. Belmond concluded that Charleston Center LLC is a VIE because the total equity at risk is insufficient for the entity to fund its operations without additional subordinated financial support, the majority of which has been provided by Belmond. Belmond is the primary beneficiary of this VIE because it is expected to absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and residual gains through the subordinated financial support it has provided, and has the power to direct the activities that impact the VIE’s performance, based on the current organizational structure.

Assets of Charleston Center LLC that can only be used to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs and liabilities of Charleston Center LLC whose creditors have no recourse to Belmond are presented as a footnote to the consolidated balance sheets. The third-party debt of Charleston Center LLC is secured by its net assets and is non-recourse to its members, including Belmond. The hotel's separate assets are not available to pay the debts of Belmond and the hotel's separate liabilities do not constitute obligations of Belmond. The assets of Charleston Center LLC that can be used only to settle obligations of Charleston Center LLC totaled $211,452,000 at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $207,739,000) and exclude goodwill of $40,395,000 (December 31, 2014 - $40,395,000). The liabilities of Charleston Center LLC for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Belmond totaled $122,995,000 at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $122,058,000).

All deferred taxes attributable to the Company’s investment in the LLC arise at the investor level and are therefore not included in the footnote to the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(b)    VIEs of which Belmond is not the primary beneficiary

Belmond holds a 50% equity investment in its rail joint venture in Peru which operates the infrastructure, rolling stock, stations and services on a portion of the state-owned railways in Peru. Belmond previously concluded that the PeruRail joint venture was a variable interest entity because the total equity at risk was insufficient for it to fund its operations without additional subordinated financial support. The joint venture is under joint control as all significant budgetary and capital decisions require a majority of approval of the joint venture's board of directors, on which board Belmond holds two of four seats with the other two seats representing unaffiliated local Peruvian investors.

Previously, the Company had guaranteed certain debt obligations of the joint venture. The guaranteed debt was repaid with non-guaranteed debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Belmond concluded that this constituted a change in the design

14

of the entity and reconsidered its initial determination of the entity’s VIE status. The Company concluded that the joint venture now qualifies for the scope exceptions contained within U.S. GAAP to be excluded from consideration under the VIE guidance.

The joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included in earnings/(losses) before income taxes and earnings from unconsolidated companies in the statements of condensed consolidated operations.

5.    Investments in unconsolidated companies

Investments in unconsolidated companies represent equity interests of 50% or less in which Belmond exerts significant influence, but does not have effective control of these unconsolidated companies and, therefore, accounts for these investments using the equity method. As at September 30, 2015, these investments include the 50% ownership in rail and hotel joint venture operations in Peru, the 25% ownership in Eastern and Oriental Express Ltd, and the Buzios land joint venture which is 50% owned and further described below.

In June 2007, Belmond acquired 50% of a company holding real estate in Buzios, Brazil for a cash consideration of $5,000,000. Belmond planned to build a hotel and villas on the acquired land and to purchase the remaining share of the company when the building permits were obtained from the local authorities. In February 2009, the Municipality of Buzios commenced a process for the compulsory purchase of the land by the municipality in exchange for a payment of fair compensation to the owners. In April 2011, the State of Rio de Janeiro declared the land an area of public interest, with the intention that it will become part of an environmental park which is being created in the area. The compulsory purchase of the land is therefore expected to be carried out by the State of Rio de Janeiro unless it fails to take action by April 18, 2016 at which point the land will revert unencumbered to the real estate holding company. Belmond expects to recover its investment in the project either through negotiations with or litigation against the State of Rio de Janeiro or through a reversion of the land due to the failure of the State of Rio de Janeiro to act by April 18, 2016.

On May 21, 2015, Belmond sold its 50% ownership in Hotel Ritz by Belmond, Madrid, Spain. Belmond and its joint venture partner sold the shares in the entity that owns the hotel for gross proceeds of €130,000,000 ($145,288,000 at date of sale). As a condition of the sale, Belmond’s management contract with Hotel Ritz by Belmond was terminated, resulting in the receipt of a termination fee of $2,292,000.

The following table shows the net proceeds to Belmond and a summary of net assets sold, resulting in a gain of $19,676,000 that is reported within gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment and equity method investments in the statements of condensed consolidated operations:

Net earnings2	7,458	6,093	10,780	8,689

¹Gross profit is defined as revenues less cost of services of the unconsolidated companies.

²There were no discontinued operations, extraordinary items or cumulative effects of a change in an accounting principle in the unconsolidated companies.

Included in unconsolidated companies are Belmond’s hotel and rail joint ventures in Peru, under which Belmond and the other 50% participant must contribute equally additional equity needed for the businesses. If the other participant does not meet this obligation, Belmond has the right to dilute the other participant and obtain a majority equity interest in the affected joint venture company. Belmond also has rights to purchase the other participant’s interests, which rights are exercisable in limited circumstances such as the other participant’s bankruptcy.

There are contingent guarantees to unconsolidated companies which are not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The contingent guarantees for each Peruvian joint venture may only be enforced in the event there is a change in control of the relevant joint venture, which would occur only if Belmond’s ownership of the economic and voting interests in the joint venture falls below 50%, an event which has not occurred. As at September 30, 2015, Belmond does not expect that it will be required to fund these guarantees relating to these joint venture companies.

The Company has contingently guaranteed, through 2020, $17,917,000 of debt obligations of the joint venture in Peru that operates four hotels and has contingently guaranteed $1,950,000 of the debt obligations of the rail joint venture in Peru through 2017. The Company has also contingently guaranteed the rail joint venture’s obligations relating to the performance of its governmental rail concessions, currently in the amount of $6,676,000, through May 2016.

16

At December 31, 2014, the Company guaranteed $4,124,000 of the debt obligations of the rail joint venture in Peru. The guaranteed debt was repaid by the joint venture in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

6.    Property, plant and equipment

The major classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
	$’000		$’000
Land and buildings	1,008,956		1,069,846

River cruise ship and canal boats	18,851		18,924
	1,435,902		1,507,195
Less: Accumulated depreciation	(339,684	)	(338,438	)
Total property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation	1,096,218		1,168,757

 The depreciation charge on property, plant and equipment for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 was $12,057,000 (September 30, 2014 - $11,969,000) and $36,839,000 (September 30, 2014 - $36,667,000), respectively.

The table above includes property, plant and equipment of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, of $200,403,000 at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $197,608,000).

There were no impairments of property, plant and equipment in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

There was no capitalized interest in the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014.

7.    Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 are as follows:

	At January 1, 2015
	Gross goodwill amount	Accumulated impairment		Net goodwill amount	Impairment		Foreign currency translation adjustment		At September 30, 2015
	$'000	$'000		$'000	$'000		$'000		$'000
Owned hotels:
Europe	71,292	(10,104	)	61,188	(4,098	)	(5,102	)	51,988
North America	66,101	(16,110	)	49,991	—		—		49,991
Rest of world	21,705	(8,113	)	13,592	(5,036	)	(1,779	)	6,777
Owned trains and cruises	7,873	—		7,873	(662	)	(55	)	7,156
Total	166,971	(34,327	)	132,644	(9,796	)	(6,936	)	115,912

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company determined that there were indicators that the goodwill balance at the below reporting units should be tested for potential impairment in the quarter. In each case the first step of the impairment test to compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill, indicated that their goodwill balances may be impaired. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using internally developed discounted future cash flow models, which include input from external valuation experts to provide discount and long term growth rates. The second step of the impairment

17

assessment to determine the amount of any potential impairment loss was performed and the following non-cash goodwill impairment charges were identified and recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2015:

• An impairment charge of $3,581,000 at Belmond Jimbaran Puri. The Company determined that this impairment was triggered by declining performance over a number of periods, caused in part by the stronger U.S. dollar and increased relative expense of the region for European travelers in particular. Further weakness in performance that has continued into the peak season in the second quarter has led management to reconsider its estimates for future profitability of the business, including future growth in ADR and occupancy rates and the related discount rates.

• An impairment charge of $1,455,000 at Belmond La Résidence Phou Vao. The Company determined that this impairment was triggered by the declining popularity of the destination, increased relative expense of the region for European travelers as well as increased competition from smaller independent operators. After a weak winter period, the improvement in performance in 2015 was not as strong as expected, leading management to reconsider its estimates for future profitability of the business, including future growth in ADR and occupancy rates and the related discount rates.

• An impairment charge of $662,000 at Belmond Northern Belle. The Company determined that this impairment was triggered by declining performance caused by a reduction in passenger numbers sourced mainly from regional markets in the U.K. Continued softness in passenger numbers over the key summer period led management to reconsider its estimates for future profitability of the business, including future growth in ticket prices and passenger numbers and the related discount rates.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company determined that the deterioration of the Russian economic environment which commenced in the second half of 2014 and failed to improve significantly in 2015 under economic sanctions was an indicator that the goodwill at Belmond Grand Hotel Europe should be tested for potential impairment. The first step of the impairment process indicated that the fair value of Belmond Grand Hotel Europe was below its carrying value, suggesting that the goodwill assigned to this reporting unit of $14,148,000 (RUB785.6 million) at June 30, 2015 might be impaired. As a consequence, the Company commenced step two of the impairment assessment to determine the amount of any potential impairment loss. U.S. GAAP requires that when the second step of a goodwill impairment analysis is not complete before the financial statements are issued, and a goodwill impairment loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, the best estimate of that loss should be recognized in the financial statements. The Company was unable, as of the date of issuing the financial statements for the second quarter of 2015, to advance step two of its testing to the point where it could reasonably estimate any impairment loss and thus the Company did not record an impairment of the goodwill in the financial statements for the second quarter of 2015. The Company was unable to reasonably estimate the loss because of the difficulty in determining the current fair values of the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, in particular the property value where conflicting available data indicated a wide range of possible outcomes in the goodwill impairment test. The Company therefore needed to involve an outside expert to advise on valuation of the property in order that the Company could reliably estimate the implied fair value of the goodwill. The second step of the June 30, 2015 goodwill impairment testing was completed during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and an impairment charge of $4,098,000 (RUB227.6 million) was recorded in that period, based on the carrying values and outlook prevailing at June 30, 2015.

As the factors described above still existed at September 30, 2015, the goodwill at Belmond Grand Hotel Europe was tested for potential further impairment using updated cash flow projections and carrying values as at September 30, 2015. The first step of the impairment process indicated that the fair value of Belmond Grand Hotel Europe was below its carrying value, suggesting that the goodwill assigned to this reporting unit of $8,424,000 (RUB558.0 million) at September 30, 2015 might be impaired. As a consequence, the Company obtained an updated valuation of the property and carried out step two of the impairment assessment. Under the second step of the goodwill impairment test, the implied fair value of the hotel’s goodwill was approximately 18% in excess of its carrying value, therefore no further impairment charge has been recorded. Factors that could reasonably be expected to potentially have an adverse effect on the fair value of the reporting unit include the future operating projections of the hotel, volatility in debt or equity markets that could result in changes to the discount rate, economic sanctions and the timing and extent of recovery in the Russian economy.

In the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company considered whether the increased relative expense of the region indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of Belmond La Résidence d’Angkor was less than its carrying value. Under the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of Belmond La Résidence d’Angkor was approximately 16% in excess of its carrying value. Belmond La Résidence d’Angkor had a goodwill balance of $1,548,000 at September 30, 2015. Factors that could reasonably be expected to potentially have an adverse effect on the fair value of the reporting unit include the future operating projections of the hotel, volatility in debt or equity markets that could result in changes to the discount rate, political instability in the region or changes in future travel patterns or local competitive supply.

Favorable lease intangible assets are amortized over the terms of the leases, which are between 19 and 60 years. Internet sites are amortized over a period of five to ten years. Trade names have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized, but are assessed for impairment annually or when events indicate that impairment may have occurred.

Favorable lease asset additions of $706,000 relate to a concession obtained by Belmond Villa Sant’Andrea in Sicily, Italy to operate a portion of beach adjacent to the hotel.

Total amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $123,000 (September 30, 2014 - $93,000) and $345,000 (September 30, 2014 - $285,000). Estimated total amortization expense for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2015 is $115,000 and for each of the years ending December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2020 is $460,000.

9.    Debt and obligations under capital lease

(a)    Long-term debt and obligations under capital lease

Long-term debt and obligations under capital lease consist of the following:

	September 30, 2015	December 31, 2014
	$’000	$’000
Loans from banks and other parties collateralized by tangible and intangible personal property and real estate with a maturity of four to 13 years (2014 - five to 14 years), with a weighted average interest rate of 4.28% (2014 - 4.35%)	602,144	620,106
Obligations under capital lease	69	129
Total long-term debt and obligations under capital lease	602,213	620,235
Less: Current portion	5,391	5,549
Less: Discount on secured term loan	2,156	2,451
Non-current portion of long-term debt and obligations under capital lease	594,666	612,235

On March 21, 2014, Belmond entered into a $551,955,000 secured term loan and a $105,000,000 revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to repay all outstanding funded debt apart from the debt of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, and the debt of Belmond’s unconsolidated joint venture companies.

The term loan consists of two tranches, a $345,000,000 U.S. dollar tranche and a €150,000,000 euro-denominated tranche (equivalent to $206,955,000 at drawdown). The dollar tranche bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3% per annum, and the euro tranche bears interest at a rate of EURIBOR plus 3.25% per annum. Both tranches are subject to a 1% interest rate floor. The term loan matures in seven years and the annual mandatory amortization is 1% of the principal amount. The euro-denominated tranche was repriced in June 2015 to a rate of EURIBOR plus 3% per annum.

The revolving credit facility has a maturity of five years and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum, with a commitment fee of 0.4% paid on the undrawn amount.

The term loan and revolving credit facility are secured by pledges of shares in certain Company subsidiaries and by security interests in tangible and intangible personal property. There are no mortgages over real estate.

In August 2014, Charleston Center LLC refinanced a secured loan of $83,200,000 with a new $86,000,000 loan secured on its real and personal property. The loan has a five year maturity and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.12% per annum. This loan has no amortization and is non-recourse to Belmond.

The Company has guaranteed $504,761,000 of the long-term debt of its subsidiary companies as at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $522,561,000).

Deferred financing costs related to the above outstanding long-term debt were $12,220,000 at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $13,095,000) and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the corresponding long-term debt. These costs are included in Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

A loss on extinguishment of debt of $Nil was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (September 30, 2014 - loss of $14,506,000). The loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 comprised costs associated with the March corporate debt refinancing.

The tables above include the debt of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, of $97,383,000 at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $97,545,000). This amount includes the $86,000,000 refinanced in August 2014 and is non-recourse to Belmond. Deferred financing costs related to this debt were $771,000 at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $922,000). This amount also includes a 1984 development loan from public agencies in the principal amount of $10,000,000 on which interest of $16,390,000 has accrued. These amounts are included in the liabilities of Charleston Center LLC (see Note 4). The development loan matures in 2028 and during its term provides for the lenders to receive 15% of the “net proceeds” (as defined in the applicable loan agreement) from any sale or refinancing of the property (other than a refinancing of the $86,000,000 first mortgage loan).

11.    Pensions

Components of net periodic pension benefit cost are as follows:

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30, 2015		September 30, 2014		September 30, 2015		September 30, 2014
	$’000		$’000		$’000		$’000
Service cost	—		—		—		—
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation	249		276		738		830
Expected return on assets	(262	)	(289	)	(776	)	(867	)
Net amortization and deferrals	190		139		562		418
Net periodic benefit cost	177		126		524		381

From January 1, 2003, a number of non-U.S. Belmond employees participated in a funded defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom called the Belmond (UK) Ltd. 2003 Pension Scheme. On May 31, 2006, the plan was closed for future benefit accruals.

A U.K. subsidiary of Belmond is obligated to the plan’s trust to pay £1,272,000 (equivalent to $1,923,000 at September 30, 2015) annually until the plan is fully funded, which, based on its December 2012 actuarial assessment, is projected to occur in 2017. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, contributions of $487,000 (September 30, 2014 - $573,000) and $1,450,000 (September 30, 2014 - $1,650,000), respectively, were made to the pension plan and Belmond anticipates contributing an additional $473,000 to fund the plan in 2015 for a total of $1,923,000.

Once the plan is fully funded, the U.K. subsidiary will remain obligated to restore the plan to a fully funded balance should its position deteriorate. In May 2014, Belmond guaranteed the payment obligations of the U.K. subsidiary through 2023, subject to a cap of £8,200,000 (equivalent to $12,393,000 at September 30, 2015), which reduces commensurately with every payment made to the plan since December 31, 2012.

12.    Income taxes

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the income tax provision was $11,355,000 (September 30, 2014 - $15,215,000) and $18,413,000 (September 30, 2014 - $16,534,000), respectively.

The reduced tax charge in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 is mainly due to reduced pre-tax earnings in U.S. dollar terms. The increased tax charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is mainly due to increased underlying pre-tax earnings. Although

22

the disposal of the Hotel Ritz by Belmond in May 2015 did not give rise to a tax charge, it had the effect of increasing the profit to which the annual effective tax rate was applied in the three months ended June 30, 2015. As a result, the tax charge for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by approximately $5,000,000 but, as the transaction did not give rise to a tax charge, this effect is being reversed over the remainder of 2015, with a tax benefit of approximately $4,800,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2015. 

13.    Interest expense

The balances in interest expense are as follows:

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30, 2015	September 30, 2014	September 30, 2015		September 30, 2014
	$’000	$’000	$’000		$’000
Interest expense on long-term debt and obligations under capital lease	7,032	7,491	20,685		23,108
Withholding tax provision classified as interest	—	—	(1,476	)	—
Interest on legal settlements	2,352	—	2,827		—
Amortization of deferred financing costs and discount on secured term loan	727	916	2,170		3,355
Total interest expense	10,111	8,407	24,206		26,463

14.    Supplemental cash flow information

	Nine months ended
	September 30, 2015	September 30, 2014
	$’000	$’000
Cash paid during the period for:
Interest	20,948	22,917
Income taxes, net of refunds	12,805	14,646

To reflect the actual cash paid for capital expenditure to acquire property, plant and equipment, increases in accounts payable for capital expenditure are non-cash and excluded from capital expenditure, while decreases are cash payments and included. The change in accounts payable was a decrease of $881,000 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 (September 30, 2014 - increase of $833,000).

23

15.    Restricted cash

The major balances in restricted cash are as follows:

	September 30, 2015	December 31, 2014
	$’000	$’000
Refundable and non-refundable cash deposits held with banks pending completion of asset sales	—	500
Cash deposits required to be held with lending banks as collateral	662	768
Prepaid customer deposits which will be released to Belmond under its revenue recognition policy	5,693	647
Bonds and guarantees	673	758
Total restricted cash	7,028	2,673

Restricted cash classified as long-term and included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2015 was $662,000 (December 31, 2014 - $768,000).

16.    Share-based compensation plans

At September 30, 2015, Belmond had two share-based compensation plans. The compensation cost that has been charged to selling, general and administrative expense for these plans for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 was $1,048,000 (September 30, 2014 - $2,713,000) and $4,781,000 (September 30, 2014 - $5,689,000), respectively. The total compensation cost related to unexercised options and unvested share awards at September 30, 2015 to be recognized over the period October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2019 was $11,278,000 and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is 26 months. Measured from the grant date, substantially all awards of deferred shares and restricted shares have a maximum term of up to four years, and substantially all awards of share options have a maximum term of ten years. There were no grants under the 2004 stock option plan during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015.The last outstanding award under the 2000 stock option plan lapsed during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

2009 share award and incentive plan

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the following share option awards were made under the 2009 share award and incentive plan on the following dates. Estimates of fair values of share options were made using the Black-Scholes options pricing model.

2009 share award and incentive plan	Class A common shares	Date granted	Vesting date	Purchase price	Expected share price volatility	Risk-free interest rate	Expected dividends per share	Expected life of awards

Deferred shares with performance criteria	256,358	March 20, 2015	March 20, 2018	$0.01

17.    Commitments and contingencies

Outstanding contracts to purchase property, plant and equipment were approximately $6,616,000 at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $15,486,000).

In February 2013, the State of Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice affirmed a 2011 decision of a Rio state trial court against Sea Containers Ltd (“SCL”) in lawsuits brought against SCL by minority shareholders in Companhia Hoteis Palace (“CHP”), the company that owns Belmond Copacabana Palace, relating to the recapitalization of CHP in 1995, but the Court reduced the total award against SCL to approximately $27,000,000. SCL further appealed the judgments during the second quarter of 2013 to the Superior Court of Justice in Brasilia. SCL sold its shares in CHP to the Company in 2000. Years later, in 2006, SCL entered insolvency proceedings in the U.S. and Bermuda that are continuing in Bermuda. Possible claims could be asserted against the Company or CHP in connection with this Brazilian litigation that has to date only involved SCL, although no claims have been asserted. As a precautionary measure to defend the hotel, CHP commenced a declaratory lawsuit in the Rio state court in December 2013 seeking judicial declarations that no fraud was committed against the SCL plaintiffs when the shares in CHP were sold to the Company in 2000 and that the sale of the shares did not render SCL insolvent. Pending rulings on those declarations, the court granted CHP an injunction preventing the SCL plaintiffs from provisionally enforcing their 2011 judgments against CHP, which judgment was subsequently reversed on appeal in May 2014. CHP sought reconsideration from the appellate court of this decision, but the court dismissed its request. CHP is considering whether to appeal this decision regarding the quashing of the injunction. Management cannot estimate the range of possible loss if the SCL plaintiffs assert claims against the Company or CHP, and Belmond has made no accruals in respect of this matter. If any such claims were brought, Belmond would continue to defend its interests vigorously.

In November 2013, the third-party owner of Ubud Hanging Gardens in Bali, Indonesia dispossessed Belmond from the hotel under long-term lease without prior notice. As a result, Belmond was unable to continue operating the hotel and, accordingly, to prevent any confusion to its guests, Belmond ceased referring to the property in its sales and marketing materials, including all electronic marketing. Belmond believed that the owner's actions were unlawful and in breach of the lease arrangement and constituted a wrongful dispossession. Belmond pursued its legal remedies through arbitration proceedings as required under the lease. As part

25

of the enforcement of its legal rights, Belmond sought and received judicial and arbitral injunctions in England and Singapore, respectively, against the owner to stay court proceedings in Indonesia brought by the owner in November 2013 seeking annulment of the lease and damages from Belmond. Supplementally, Belmond commenced contempt proceedings in the High Court in London, England, where the owner resides, for pursuing the Indonesian proceedings contrary to an earlier High Court injunction, and obtained against the owner in July 2014 a contempt order, which subsequently resulted in the court issuing a committal order of imprisonment for 120 days. On June 26, 2015, the Singapore arbitration panel issued its final award in favor of Belmond, holding that the owner had breached Indonesian law and the lease and granting monetary damages and costs to the Company in an amount equal to approximately $8,500,000. The Company has since issued a demand letter to the owner for those monies and has commenced the process of enforcing this arbitral award. Starting in April 2014, the Indonesian trial courts have dismissed four separate actions filed by the owner for lack of jurisdiction due to the arbitration clause in the parties’ lease. The owner has appealed these decisions, one of which was reversed by the Appellate Court in October 2014. Belmond has appealed this case to the Indonesian Supreme Court. Belmond does not believe there is any merit in the owner’s outstanding Indonesian actions and is vigorously defending its rights while it seeks to enforce the Singapore arbitral award. While the Company can give no assurances, it believes that it should ultimately be able to enforce its arbitral award. Given the uncertainty involved in this litigation and the enforcement of the Singapore arbitral award, Belmond recorded in the year ended December 31, 2013, a non-cash impairment charge in the amount of $7,031,000 relating to long-lived assets and goodwill of Ubud Hanging Gardens and has not booked a receivable in respect of the award.

In September 2014, the Secretary of the Brazilian Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management notified the Company that the Ministry was denying its application to amend the lease for Belmond Hotel das Cataratas, which was entered into in 2007, among other things, to extend the term and reduce the rent. Belmond had applied for the amendment in 2009 based on its claim that it suffered additional unanticipated and/or unforeseeable costs in performing the refurbishment of the hotel as required by the lease and related tender documentation in order to raise the standard of the property to a five star luxury standard. The Company has appealed to the Secretary to re-consider its decision on both procedural and substantive grounds. If the Secretary does not alter its decision, the Company can appeal directly to the Minister for Planning and ultimately to the Brazilian courts. Belmond’s current annual lease expense for the hotel is R$16,666,000 (equivalent to $4,195,000 at September 30, 2015). However, until August 2014 the Company had been paying, with the approval of the Ministry, the amount of R$11,065,000 ($2,785,000) per annum without the yearly adjustment for inflation as provided for in the lease, pending resolution of the case. The Company has expensed the full rental amount. Consequently, the difference between the cumulative rental charge and the amount paid plus monetary correction, which totals R$17,957,000 ($4,520,000), has been fully accrued. Based on the Secretary’s decision, the Ministry will be assessing rent at the contractual rate, which has been included in the table of future rental payments as at September 30, 2015 below. Beyond the amounts accrued, management estimates that the range of possible additional loss to Belmond could be between R$1,000,000 and R$1,500,000 (equivalent to $252,000 and $378,000 at September 30, 2015) plus interest from the date of the September 2014 decision until a final non-appealable decision is rendered. On March 20, 2015, the Ministry provided notice to the hotel that an aggregate amount of approximately R$17,000,000 ($4,280,000) was due on March 31, 2015 as a result of the denial of the application. The Company intends to continue to press for a reconsideration by the Ministry of its request, which the Ministry has yet to address through its administrative process. In the meantime, the Company is considering proceedings against the Ministry in the Brazilian courts.

In January 2015, Peru Belmond Hotels S.A. received notification of a claim filed by the Public Prosecutor's office of the Regional Government of Cusco, seeking annulment of a contract and public deed of amendment extending the term of the Belmond Sanctuary Lodge concession for ten years from May 2015 to May 2025. The claim alleged that the amendment was invalid principally because the President of the Region, who executed the public deed on December 27, 2013, did not have proper authority to execute the amendment because a resolution dismissing him from office had been issued the day before. The court of first instance dismissed the case on May 8, 2015 on technical grounds and the claimant appealed to the Superior Court of Cusco. At a hearing before the Superior Court of Cusco in September 2015, the Superior Court overturned the decision of the court of first instance and declared that the entire proceeding be vacated based on technical grounds. Upon formal notification by the Superior Court of Cusco, the court of first instance will re-consider the matter, at which time Peru Belmond Hotels S.A. intends to request that the matter be dismissed. Belmond believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend the matter vigorously.

In July 2015, Cupecoy Village Development N.V. received notification from the tax authorities in Sint Maarten of an intention to issue tax assessments for periods 2007-2010 in respect of wages taxes, social security, turnover tax and penalties. Belmond believes that the report received from the tax authorities contains a number of material miscalculations and misinterpretations of fact and law. The Company does not expect the resolution of this claim to result in a payment of more than $200,000, which is the amount that has been accrued at September 30, 2015. Beyond the amount accrued, management estimates the range of possible additional loss to Belmond to be between $Nil and $16,300,000.

In May 2010, after prevailing in litigation at the trial and appellate court levels, Belmond settled litigation in the United Kingdom for infringement of its U.K. and Community (European wide) registrations for the “Cipriani” trademark. Defendants paid the

26

amount of $3,947,000 to Belmond in March 2010 with the balance of $9,833,000 being payable in installments over five years with interest. Belmond received the final payment in the amount of $1,178,000 in June 2015. Subsequent to Belmond’s success before the U.K. courts, there have arisen a number of European trade mark opposition and infringement cases. These include an ongoing invalidity action filed by Arrigo Cipriani in the European Trade Mark Office (“OHIM”) against Belmond’s Community trade mark. To date, Belmond has successfully rebutted this challenge at every level of administrative appeal, and this case is now before the General Court where Belmond expects to prevail. Also before the OHIM, Belmond has recently been successful in opposing a Community trade mark application filed for “Cipriani”by an affiliated company of the Cipriani family. There are a number of ongoing trade mark disputes with the Cipriani family in Italy. In January 2015, the Cipriani family and affiliated entities commenced proceedings against Belmond in the Court of Venice, asserting that a 1967 agreement pursuant to which the family sold their interest in the Hotel Cipriani constituted a coexistence agreement allowing both the Company to use “Hotel Cipriani” and the Cipriani family to use “Cipriani”. This argument had already been considered and rejected by the London High Court in the 2010 litigation mentioned above, and Belmond intends to vigorously defend its interests against this latest claim. In August 2015, pursuant to a separate claim filed by the Cipriani family, the Court of Venice ruled in favor of the Cipriani family, determining that their use of their full name rather than just an initial with their surname, would not constitute infringement of the Company’s registered trademark for “Hotel Cipriani”. The Court’s ruling purports to apply to hotels and restaurants, as well as to all of the EU (other than the U.K.) rather than only Italy. The Company has been advised it has a strong basis for the appeal of this decision. While Belmond believes that it has meritorious cases in all of these proceedings, Belmond cannot estimate the range of possible additional loss to Belmond if it should not prevail in any or all of these cases and Belmond has made no accruals in these matters.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. These proceedings generally include matters relating to labor disputes, tax claims, personal injury cases, lease negotiations and ownership disputes. The outcome of each of these matters cannot be determined with certainty, and the liability that the relevant parties may ultimately incur with respect to any one of these matters in the event of a negative outcome may be in excess of amounts currently accrued for with respect to these matters. Where a reasonable estimate can be made, the additional losses or range of loss that may be incurred in excess of the amount recognized from the various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business are disclosed separately for each claim, including a reference to where it is disclosed. However, for certain of the legal proceedings, management is unable to estimate the loss or range of loss that may result from these claims due to the highly complex nature or early stage of the legal proceedings.

Future rental payments as at September 30, 2015 under operating leases in respect of equipment rentals and leased premises are payable as follows:

	$’000
Remainder of 2015	2,314
2016	8,596
2017	8,535
2018	8,094
2019	7,674
2020	7,755
2021 and thereafter	70,023
Future rental payments under operating leases	112,991

Rental expense for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 amounted to $2,514,000 (September 30, 2014 - $3,014,000) and $8,101,000 (September 30, 2014 - $9,144,000), respectively.

Belmond has granted to James Sherwood, a former director of the Company, a right of first refusal to purchase the Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice, Italy in the event Belmond proposes to sell it. The purchase price would be the offered sale price in the case of a cash sale or the fair market value of the hotel, as determined by an independent valuer, in the case of a non-cash sale. Mr. Sherwood has also been granted an option to purchase the hotel at fair market value if a change in control of the Company occurs. Mr. Sherwood may elect to pay 80% of the purchase price if he exercises his right of first refusal, or 100% of the purchase price if he exercises his purchase option, by a non-recourse promissory note secured by the hotel payable in ten equal annual installments with interest at LIBOR. This right of first refusal and purchase option are not assignable and expire one year after Mr. Sherwood’s death. These agreements relating to the Belmond Hotel Cipriani between Mr. Sherwood and Belmond and its predecessor companies have been in place since 1983 and were last amended and restated in 2005.

18.    Fair value measurements

(a)     Financial instruments recorded at fair value

The following tables summarize the valuation of Belmond’s financial instruments recorded at fair value by the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total
September 30, 2015	$’000	$’000		$’000	$’000
Assets at fair value:
Derivative financial instruments	—	2		—	2
Total assets	—	2		—	2
Liabilities at fair value:
Derivative financial instruments	—	(6,070	)	—	(6,070	)
Total net liabilities	—	(6,068	)	—	(6,068	)

	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total

Liabilities at fair value:
Derivative financial instruments	—	(3,602	)	—	(3,602	)
Total net liabilities	—	(3,589	)	—	(3,589	)

During the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

(b)    Other financial instruments

Certain methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments. The carrying amount of current assets and current liabilities as disclosed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

The fair value of Belmond's long-term debt, excluding interest rate swaps and caps, is determined using the contractual cash flows and credit-adjusted discount curves. The fair value of the debt is the present value of those contractual cash flows which are discounted at market interest rates adjusted for credit spreads. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions, the maturity of flows and collateral.

28

The estimated carrying values, fair values, and levels of the fair value hierarchy of Belmond's long-term debt as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:

		September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
		Carrying amounts $’000	Fair value $’000	Carrying amounts $’000	Fair value $’000
Loans from banks and other parties (see Note 9)	Level 3	602,144	640,922	620,106	663,653

(c)    Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

There were no non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The estimated fair values of Belmond’s non-financial assets measured on a non-recurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were as follows:

		Fair value measurement inputs
	Fair value $’000	Level 1 $’000	Level 2 $’000	Level 3 $’000	Total losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2015
	$’000	$’000	$’000	$’000	$’000
Goodwill	10,050	—	—	10,050	(9,796	)

Goodwill

The fair values of reporting units have been determined using internally developed discounted future cash flow models, incorporating third party appraisals and industry and market data where relevant.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, goodwill of Belmond Grand Hotel Europe with a carrying value of $14,148,000 was written down to fair value of $10,050,000, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $4,098,000. See Note 7.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, goodwill of Belmond Jimbaran Puri with a carrying value of $3,581,000 was written down to fair value of $Nil, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $3,581,000. See Note 7.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, goodwill of Belmond La Résidence Phou Vao with a carrying value of $1,455,000 was written down to fair value of $Nil, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $1,455,000. See Note 7.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, goodwill of Belmond Northern Belle with a carrying value of $662,000 was written down to fair value of $Nil, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $662,000. See Note 7.

These impairments are included in earnings from continuing operations in the period incurred.

There was no offsetting within derivative assets or derivative liabilities at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. However, these derivatives are subject to master netting arrangements.

Other comprehensive loss

Information concerning the movements in other comprehensive income/(loss) for cash flow hedges of interest rate risk is shown in Note 20. At September 30, 2015, the amount accounted for in other comprehensive income/(loss) which is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months is $2,853,000. Movement in other comprehensive income/(loss) for net investment hedges recorded through foreign currency translation adjustments for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 was a loss of $147,000 (September 30, 2014 - gain of $15,838,000) and a gain of $13,938,000 (September 30, 2014 - gain of $16,877,000), respectively.

Credit-risk-related contingent features

Belmond has agreements with some of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions under which, if Belmond defaults on the debt associated with the hedging instrument, Belmond could also be declared in default in respect of its derivative obligations.

As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest and an adjustment for non-performance risk, related to these agreements was $6,070,000 (December 31, 2014 - $3,602,000). If Belmond breached any of the provisions, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $6,094,000 (December 31, 2014 - $3,615,000).

30

Non-derivative financial instruments — net investment hedges

Belmond uses certain of its debt denominated in foreign currency to hedge portions of its net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. Belmond designates its euro-denominated indebtedness as a net investment hedge of long-term investments in its euro-functional subsidiaries. These contracts are included in non-derivative hedging instruments. The notional value of non-derivative hedging instruments was $164,936,000 at September 30, 2015, being a liability of Belmond (December 31, 2014 - $180,149,000).

21.    Segment information

Segment performance is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker based upon segment earnings before gains/(losses) on disposal, impairments, central overheads, interest income, interest expense, foreign currency, tax (including tax on earnings from unconsolidated companies), depreciation and amortization (“segment profit/(loss)”).

Belmond's operating segments are aggregated into six reportable segments primarily around the type of service being provided—hotels, trains and cruises, and management business/part ownership interests—and are secondarily organized by geography for the hotels, as follows:

• Owned hotels in each of Europe, North America and Rest of world which derive earnings from the hotels that Belmond owns including its one stand-alone restaurant;

• Part-owned/managed hotels which derive earnings from hotels that Belmond jointly owns or manages;

• Owned trains and cruises which derive earnings from the train and cruise businesses that Belmond owns; and

• Part-owned/managed trains which derive earnings from the train businesses that Belmond jointly owns or manages.

Introduction

Belmond has six reportable segments: owned hotels in (1) Europe, (2) North America (including one stand-alone restaurant) and (3) Rest of world, (4) Part-owned/managed hotels, (5) Owned trains and cruises and (6) Part-owned/managed trains.

At September 30, 2015, Belmond’s hotel portfolio consisted of 35 deluxe hotels, 29 of which were wholly or majority owned or, in the case of Belmond Charleston Place, owned by a consolidated variable interest entity. Eleven of the owned hotels are located in Europe, five in North America and thirteen in the rest of the world. In addition, Belmond currently owns and operates the stand-alone restaurant ‘21’ Club in New York included above within the North America segment.

The remaining six hotels are properties which Belmond operates under management contracts. Belmond has unconsolidated equity interests in four of the managed hotels.

In May 2015, Belmond completed the sale of Hotel Ritz by Belmond. The gain on sale is reported within gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment and equity method investments in the statements of condensed consolidated operations.

In March 2014, Belmond completed the sale of Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond. Belmond will continue to manage the hotel for the new owner. Due to Belmond's continuing involvement in managing the hotel, its results, including the gain on sale, are presented within continuing operations.

During 2013, Belmond ceased to operate Ubud Hanging Gardens in Bali, Indonesia, following what Belmond believed was an unlawful dispossession of Belmond by the landlord for which Belmond has pursued its legal remedies under the lease. Accordingly, the results of Ubud Hanging Gardens have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Belmond's owned trains and cruises segment consists of five tourist trains, two river cruise ships and five canal boats. Belmond's part-owned/ managed trains segment consists of two train businesses, one in which Belmond has an equity interest and an exclusive management contract, and one in which Belmond has an equity investment.

In this report, “ADR” means average daily rate and “RevPAR” means revenue per available room.

Constant currency

Belmond analyzes certain key financial measures on a constant currency basis as this helps identify underlying business trends, without distortion from the effects of currency movements. Measurement on a constant currency basis means the results exclude the effect of foreign currency translation and are calculated by translating prior year results at current year exchange rates.

Overview

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

The net earnings attributable to Belmond Ltd. for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $10.0 million ($0.10 per common share) on revenue of $168.4 million, compared with net earnings of $14.9 million ($0.14 per common share) on revenue of $183.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in net earnings is primarily due to the goodwill impairment charge of $4.1 million, relating to Belmond Grand Hotel Europe, recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2015 ($Nil in the three months ended September 30, 2014).

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

The net earnings attributable to Belmond Ltd. for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $15.9 million ($0.15 per common share) on revenue of $428.7 million, compared with net earnings of $0.3 million ($0.00 per common share) on revenue of $461.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in net earnings is partially due to the gain on sale of Hotel Ritz by Belmond, the Company’s hotel joint venture in Spain, in May 2015 of $19.7 million, compared with the gain on sale of Inn at Perry Cabin in March 2014 of $3.7 million. Additionally, there was a loss on extinguishment of debt of $14.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as the Company’s hotel level debt was replaced with one corporate facility, which did not recur in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These increases were offset by a goodwill impairment charge of $9.8 million recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 ($Nil in the nine months ended September 30, 2014), and increases in central costs and provision for income taxes.

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Total revenue was $168.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $15.1 million, or 8%, from $183.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Total hotels revenue was $144.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $13.5 million, or 9%, from $158.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in total hotels revenue is largely due to unfavorable exchange rate movements as the euro, Brazilian real and the Russian ruble have weakened significantly against the U.S. dollar, offsetting local currency growth at the Company’s European properties. Revenue from trains and cruises was $23.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 6%, from $25.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, which was partially due to the depreciation of the British pound against the U.S. dollar, and partially due to a decline in passenger numbers at Belmond Northern Belle.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

Total revenue was $428.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $33.0 million, or 7%, from $461.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Total hotels revenue was $373.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $25.3 million, or 6% from $398.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in total hotels revenue is due to unfavorable exchange rate movements as the euro, Brazilian real and the Russian ruble have weakened significantly against the U.S. dollar, offsetting local currency growth at the Company’s European properties, hotels in North America, Belmond Hotel das Cataratas and Belmond Miraflores Park. Revenue from trains and cruises was $55.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $7.7 million, or 12%, from $62.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was partially due to the depreciation of the British pound against the U.S. dollar, and partially due to revenue declines at Belmond Road to Mandalay and Belmond Orcaella with increased competition in Myanmar, and Belmond Northern Belle.

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $89.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 6%, from $94.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was mainly attributable to unfavorable exchange rate movements which contributed to $17.0 million of the revenue decline, following the depreciation of the Russian ruble, euro and British pound against the U.S. dollar. Partially offsetting this was local currency revenue growth of $11.8 million at the Company’s European hotels as a result of a 6% increase in local currency ADR and an 8 percentage-point increase in occupancy across the region. This was in particular due to an increase of $2.5 million in revenue recorded by Belmond Hotel Cipriani which benefited from the Biennale arts festival in Venice, $2.0 million revenue increase at Belmond Hotel Splendido which was driven by strong local currency ADR growth partially due to its renovation of suites and junior suites and partially due to an increase in group business, and $1.7 million revenue increase at Belmond Grand Hotel Europe as a result of increased group business from the Middle East and other new markets, and from increased occupancy due to several events that took place in St. Petersburg during the quarter. ADR in U.S. dollar terms for the European owned hotels segment decreased to $835 in the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $967 in the three months ended September 30, 2014. Occupancy increased to 76% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 68% in the three months ended September 30, 2014. Same store RevPAR decreased by 3% in U.S. dollars, to $637 in the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $657 in the three months ended September 30, 2014, but increased by 19% in local currency.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $173.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $14.2 million, or 8%, from $187.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was attributable to unfavorable exchange rate movements, following the 40%, 18% and 8% year-over-year depreciation of the Russian ruble, euro and British pound, respectively, against the U.S. dollar, which contributed to $36.5 million of the revenue decline. This was partially offset by local currency revenue growth of $22.3 million in the Company’s European hotels. The Italian properties contributed to $14.6 million of this growth, having achieved a 10% increase in local currency ADR and a 4 percentage-point increase in occupancy. Additionally, Belmond Grand Hotel Europe recorded a local currency revenue increase of $4.1 million, having benefited from increased local and foreign demand and food and beverage growth with the opening of the new “Azia” restaurant. ADR in U.S. dollar terms for the European owned hotels segment decreased to $751 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $864 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Occupancy increased to 64% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 58% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Same store RevPAR decreased by 5% in U.S. dollars, to $480 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $505 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, but increased by 19% in local currency.

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $29.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.0 million, or 4%, from $28.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was led by a $0.7 million growth at Belmond El Encanto, having achieved a 9 percentage-point increase in occupancy following increased group business and an increase in banqueting revenue. In addition, Belmond Charleston Place reported an increase of revenue of $0.3 million as it continued to benefit from its renovated rooms. ADR for the North American owned hotels segment increased to $356 in the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $353 in the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Revenue was $109.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $6.0 million, or 6%, from $103.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This revenue increase was led by Belmond Charleston Place where increased occupancy and strong ADR growth, following the hotel’s renovated room product, resulted in $3.6 million revenue growth. In addition, there was a $2.1 million increase at Belmond El Encanto as it continues to benefit from its second full year of operations. Revenue increases of $1.9 million in the other North American owned hotels were offset by the March 2014 sale of Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond, which had generated revenues of $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. ADR for the North American owned hotels segment increased to $425 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $418 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Occupancy increased to 69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $9.0 million, or 27%, from $33.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease is attributable to unfavorable exchange rate movements, particularly the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, which contributed to $7.9 million of the total decrease. Partially offsetting this was local currency revenue growth of $1.4 million at Belmond Hotel das Cataratas as a result of higher rates achieved for wholesale and tour series business, and increased food and beverage revenue. This was offset by the revenue decline at Belmond Safaris due to the closure of Belmond Eagle Island Lodge, one of the three safari camps in Botswana, for renovation in January 2015 until November 2015. ADR in U.S. dollar terms for the Rest of world owned hotels segment decreased to $309 in the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $429 in the three months ended September 30, 2014. Occupancy increased to 51% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 50% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Same store RevPAR (which excludes Belmond Eagle Island Lodge) decreased by 25% in U.S. dollars, to $158 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $211 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, but increased by 3% in local currency.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $86.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $16.4 million, or 16%, from $103.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease is primarily attributable to the $15.4 million combined revenue decline at the Company’s two Brazilian hotels, largely due to the 28% year-over-year depreciation in the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar. Additionally, there was a decrease in revenue of $3.2 million at Belmond Safaris resulting from the closure of Belmond Eagle Island Lodge for renovation. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $3.1 million growth at Belmond Miraflores Park, which was closed for renovation from December 2013 to mid-April 2014. ADR in U.S. dollar terms for the Rest of world owned hotels segment decreased to $354 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $421 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Occupancy remained consistent at 54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Same store RevPAR (which excludes Belmond Miraflores Park and Belmond Eagle Island Lodge) decreased by 18% in U.S. dollars, to $190 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $233 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, but increased by 3% in local currency.

Part-owned/managed hotels 

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 17%, from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, due to lower management fees received from Hotel Ritz by Belmond which was sold in May 2015.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 15%, from $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to lower management fees received from Hotel Ritz by Belmond which was sold in May 2015.

Owned trains and cruises 

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 8%, from $23.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily as a result of unfavorable exchange rate movements, following the depreciation of the euro and British pound against the U.S. dollar, which contributed $1.5 million to the total decrease. In addition, there was a $1.2 million revenue increase at Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, which was offset by the revenue decline at Belmond Northern Belle following a slow booking pace.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $49.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $8.4 million, or 15%, from $57.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Exchange rate movements accounted for $3.8 million of the total revenue decline, following the 18% and 8% year-over-year depreciation of the euro and British pound against the U.S. dollar, respectively. There was a combined revenue decrease of $3.1 million at Belmond Orcaella and Belmond Road to Mandalay, Belmond’s two river cruise ships in Myanmar, as a result of increased local competition, and a $1.3 million fall in revenue at Belmond Northern Belle.

Part-owned/managed trains

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $2.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $0.2 million, or 9%, from $2.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014, due to an increase in management fees from the Company’s PeruRail joint venture, due to an increase in tickets sold and average ticket prices.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue was $6.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $0.7 million, or 13%, from $5.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to an increase in management fees from the Company’s PeruRail joint venture, due to an increase in tickets sold and average ticket prices.

In June 2015, PeruRail entered into a new mining contract for a period of 15 years with a Peruvian subsidiary of MMG Limited, a minerals and mining company that is publicly traded on the Hong Kong stock exchange, to transport copper concentrate from the Las Bambas mine. In connection with this project, PeruRail plans to obtain certain non-recourse financing. It is expected that the mine will begin production, and PeruRail will commence transport of the copper concentrate, in January 2016.

Cost of services

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $54.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 4%, from $56.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to 32% in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from 31% in the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Central costs included $3.7 million of expenses and a $1.8 million credit to share-based compensation expense in relation to the former CEO’s departure. The remaining increase is largely due to greater central marketing costs incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. As a percentage of revenue, central costs (excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense) increased to 7% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from 4% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Central costs within selling, general and administrative expenses were $35.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (including $4.8 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense), an increase of $6.4 million, or 22% in percentage terms, from $29.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (including $5.7 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense). Central costs included $3.7 million of expenses and a $1.8 million credit to share-based compensation expense in relation to the former CEO’s departure. The remaining increase is largely due to additional costs incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relating to tax migration and legal costs. As a percentage of revenue, central costs (excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense) increased to 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

The European owned hotels reported segment profit of $41.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 2%, from $41.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in earnings of $0.8 million at the Company's hotels in continental Europe and the United Kingdom, primarily due to the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar, was offset by a $0.1 million increase in earnings from Belmond Grand Hotel Europe. As a percentage of European owned hotels revenue, segment profit was 46% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 44% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The North American owned hotels reported segment profit of $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.3 million, or 76%, from $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. There was a $0.5 million earnings growth at Belmond La Samanna, which benefited from the weaker euro due to its predominantly euro-denominated cost base. Belmond El Encanto also recorded growth in earnings of $0.5 million as it continues to benefit from its second full year of operations. As a percentage of North American owned hotels revenue, segment profit was 10% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 6% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The Rest of world owned hotels reported segment profit of $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 46%, from $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This was primarily due to earnings declines at Belmond Copacabana Palace and Belmond Safaris of $3.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Belmond Copacabana Palace recorded a decrease in segment profit having benefited from the 2014 FIFA World Cup held in Brazil last summer. The decrease at Belmond Safaris was due to the closure of Belmond Eagle Island Lodge, one of the three safari camps in Botswana, for renovation in January 2015. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $0.5 million growth at Belmond Hotel das Cataratas. As a percentage of Rest of world owned hotels revenue, segment profit was 17% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 23% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The Part-owned/managed hotels reported segment profit of $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $0.2 million, or 9%, from $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This is primarily due to earnings growth at the Company’s Peru hotels joint venture.

The Owned trains and cruises reported segment profit of $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.2 million, or 48%, from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Earnings growth from Venice Simplon-Orient-Express which benefited from the weaker euro due to its predominantly euro-denominated cost base, was partially offset by a decline in earnings at Belmond Northern Belle which suffered from weaker demand in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The Part-owned/managed trains reported segment profit of $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $0.8 million, or 13%, from $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 attributable to an increase in the number of tickets sold and average ticket prices at PeruRail.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

The European owned hotels reported segment profit of $63.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.1 million, from $63.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was the result of a $1.2 million decrease in earnings at Belmond Grand Hotel Europe, partially offset by earnings growth of $1.1 million at the Company's hotels in continental Europe and the United Kingdom. As a percentage of European owned hotels revenue, segment profit was 36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The North American owned hotels reported segment profit of $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $7.3 million, or 46%, from $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. There was an increase in earnings of $2.1 million at Belmond La Samanna, which was negatively impacted by a mosquito-borne virus in St. Martin and elsewhere in the Caribbean in 2014 which did not recur in 2015, and also benefited from the impact of the weaker euro on its cost base. In addition, Belmond Charleston Place recorded earnings growth of $1.7 million following its rooms refurbishment, and Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa and Belmond El Encanto reported increase in earnings of $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As a percentage of North American owned hotels revenue, segment profit was 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with 15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The Rest of world owned hotels reported segment profit of $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $6.4 million, or 26%, from $25.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. There was a $7.5 million earnings decrease at Belmond Copacabana Palace and $1.9 million decrease at Belmond Safaris, partially offset by a growth of $2.3 million

46

in earnings in Belmond Miraflores Park, which was closed for renovation during the beginning months of 2014. As a percentage of Rest of world owned hotels revenue, segment profit was 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The Part-owned/managed hotels reported segment profit of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 43%, from a segment profit of $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This is primarily due to a segment loss of $1.9 million recognized for Hotel Ritz by Belmond in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of additional costs incurred by the joint venture in association with its sale in May 2015.

The Owned trains and cruises reported segment profit of $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Earnings growth at Venice Simplon-Orient-Express was offset by declines in segment profit at the Company’s two river cruises in Myanmar and at Belmond Northern Belle.

The Part-owned/managed trains reported segment profit of $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $2.4 million, or 20% from $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to an increase in average ticket prices and the number of passenger tickets sold at PeruRail.

Gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment and equity method investments

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

A gain on disposal of $0.2 million was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a $0.1 million gain in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The gain in both periods relate to the recognition of the deferred gain following the March 2014 sale of Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond, which Belmond has continued to manage under a management contract.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

A gain on disposal of $20.1 million was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a $4.0 million gain in nine months ended September 30, 2014. $19.7 million of the gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relates to the gain on sale of Hotel Ritz by Belmond, the Company’s hotel joint venture in Spain, sold in May 2015. The remaining amount of $0.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the entire $4.0 million gain recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 relates to the March 2014 sale of Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond, which Belmond has continued to manage under a management contract. The disposal resulted in a gain of $6.7 million, of which $3.7 million was recognized on completion on March 21, 2014 and $3.0 million, relating to Belmond’s key money contribution, was deferred and is being recognized over the initial period of the management contract of five years.

47

Depreciation and amortization

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Depreciation and amortization was $12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1%, from $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue was 7% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

Depreciation and amortization was $37.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $0.2 million, from $37.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $Nil for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $Nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 comprised of costs associated with the March 2014 corporate debt refinancing, which included an $8.9 million write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, $4.0 million in swap cancellation costs and $1.3 million of fees to prepay Belmond’s previous loans.

Interest income, interest expense and foreign currency, net

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Interest income, interest expense and foreign currency, net was an expense of $9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.9 million, or 25%, from an expense of $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in net expense is primarily due to interest expense on litigation settlements incurred this quarter.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

Interest income, interest expense and foreign currency, net was an expense of $27.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.2 million, or 5%, from an expense of $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. There was a greater foreign exchange loss of $3.5 million recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $0.3 million recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was partially offset by the decrease in interest expense due to the weakened euro and reduced amortization of finance costs.

48

Provision for income taxes

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

The provision for income taxes was $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 25%, from $15.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Although the disposal of the Hotel Ritz by Belmond in May 2015 did not give rise to a tax charge, it had the effect of increasing the profit to which the annual effective tax rate was applied in the three months ended June 30, 2015. As a result, the tax charge for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $5.0 million, but, as the transaction did not give rise to a tax charge, this effect is being reversed over the remainder of 2015.  The tax benefit arising from this transaction in the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $4.8 million. 

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

The provision for income taxes was $18.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.9 million, or 12%, from $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The main reason for the increase in tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is an increase in underlying earnings before tax compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. 

Earnings from unconsolidated companies

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

Earnings from unconsolidated companies net of tax were $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $0.6 million, or 19%, from $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. A tax charge of $1.6 million was recognized on earnings from unconsolidated companies for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

Earnings from unconsolidated companies net of tax were $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.2 million, or 29%, from $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. A tax charge of $1.5 million was recognized on earnings from unconsolidated companies for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Net losses from discontinued operations

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014

The losses from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $0.4 million, compared with losses of $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Losses from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 comprised legal fees in relation to Ubud Hanging Gardens, as Belmond is pursuing legal remedies following the wrongful dispossession by the owner in November 2013 and residual operating losses from Porto Cupecoy which was sold in January 2013.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014

The losses from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $0.6 million, compared with losses of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Losses from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 comprised legal fees in relation to Ubud Hanging Gardens, as Belmond is pursuing legal remedies following the wrongful dispossession by the owner in November 2013 and residual operating losses from Porto Cupecoy which was sold in January 2013.

Other comprehensive income/(losses): Foreign currency translation adjustments, net

Foreign currency translation adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were a loss of $71.9 million, compared to a loss of $98.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 largely resulted from the retranslation of Belmond’s net investment in subsidiary accounts denominated in foreign currencies into the group’s reporting currency of U.S. dollars as the majority of Belmond's operating currencies have depreciated against the U.S. dollar during the year. The loss was driven by a 33%, 15% and 8% depreciation, respectively, of the Brazilian real, Russian ruble and euro, against the U.S. dollar from the rate at December 31, 2014, negatively impacting the carrying value of Belmond’s net investments denominated in those currencies.

The foreign currency translation adjustment loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was partially due to the 20%, 8% and 4% depreciation, respectively, of the Russian ruble, euro and Brazilian real, against the U.S. dollar, and partially due to a loss of $49.4 million arising on the remeasurement of non-monetary assets and liabilities of Belmond’s Brazilian operations following a change in the functional currency of those entities. Prior to 2014, Belmond’s Brazilian operations used the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Effective January 1, 2014, Belmond changed the functional currency to the Brazilian real. Belmond believes that the growth in the Brazilian operations’ real-denominated revenues and expenses indicated a change in the economic facts and circumstances that justified the change in the functional currency.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Belmond’s primary short-term cash needs include payment of compensation, general business expenses, capital commitments and contractual payment obligations, which include principal and interest payment on its debt facilities. Long-term liquidity needs may include existing and ongoing property refurbishments, potential investment in strategic acquisitions, and the repayment of current and long-term debt. At September 30, 2015, total debt and obligations under capital leases, including debt of consolidated variable interest entities, amounted to $600.1 million (December 31, 2014 - $617.7 million), which included a current portion of $5.4 million (December 31, 2014 - $5.5 million) repayable within 12 months. Additionally, Belmond had capital commitments at September 30, 2015 amounting to $6.6 million (December 31, 2014 - $15.5 million).

Belmond had cash and cash equivalents of $174.6 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $135.1 million at December 31, 2014. In addition, Belmond had restricted cash balances of $7.1 million, of which $6.4 million is classified as current restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets and $0.7 million is classified in other assets (December 31, 2014 - $2.7 million, of which $1.9 million was classified in restricted cash and $0.8 million was classified in other assets). At September 30, 2015, there were undrawn amounts available to Belmond under committed lines of credit of $106.1 million (December 31, 2014 - $101.5 million), bringing total cash availability at September 30, 2015 to $280.7 million (December 31, 2014 - $236.6 million), excluding restricted cash. When assessing cash and cash equivalents within Belmond, management considers the availability of those cash resources held within local business units to meet the strategic needs of Belmond.

At September 30, 2015, Belmond had $5.4 million of scheduled debt repayments due within one year. Belmond expects to meet these repayments and fund working capital and capital expenditure commitments for the foreseeable future from cash resources, operating cash flow and available committed borrowing.

In order to ensure that Belmond has sufficient liquidity for the future, Belmond’s cash flow projections and available funds are reviewed with the Company’s board of directors on a regular basis.

In March 2014, Belmond entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) providing for a $552.0 million secured term loan and a $105.0 million revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to repay all outstanding funded debt apart from the debt of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, which is non-recourse to Belmond, and apart from the debt of Belmond’s unconsolidated joint venture companies.

Recent Events Affecting Belmond’s Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 23, 2015, Belmond’s board of directors announced a program enabling the Company to repurchase its class A common stock up to the value of $75.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Belmond repurchased and retired 2,300,055 shares of class A common stock for a weighted average price of $12.06 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $27.7 million. The shares repurchased represented approximately 2% of the Company’s total shares of class A common stock outstanding prior to the repurchase. As at November 4, 2015 the Company had acquired 2,514,132 shares for consideration of $30.0 million.

50

Covenant Compliance

The Credit Agreement limits Belmond’s ability to incur additional debt unless certain covenants are met. These covenants are measured on the performance of the consolidated group. The revolving credit facility in the Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants, a maximum net leverage test and a minimum interest cover test, which are both measured quarterly based on Belmond’s trailing 12 months results.

If Belmond does not comply with its financial covenants and the banks that provide the revolving credit facility declare a default and accelerate the repayment of their debt, this will cause an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The cross default threshold in the Credit Agreement to other debt that is recourse to Belmond is $25.0 million.

Belmond continues to closely monitor projected covenant compliance, and if there were a possibility of non-compliance with a covenant, Belmond would proactively meet with the agent or lending bank or banks of the relevant facility to seek an amendment or waiver. Obtaining a waiver may result in additional bank fees or an increase in the interest cost.

Based on its current financial forecasts, Belmond believes it will comply with all of the financial covenants in its loan facilities.

Working Capital

Current assets less current liabilities, including the current portion of long-term debt, resulted in a working capital surplus of $109.8 million at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $101.5 million). This increase in working capital is largely due to the proceeds received from the sale of Hotel Ritz by Belmond on May 21, 2015, partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.

Cash Flow - Sources and Uses of Cash

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Belmond had cash and cash equivalents of $174.6 million and $135.1 million, respectively. In addition, Belmond had restricted cash of $7.1 million (of which $6.4 million was classified as current restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and $0.7 million was classified in other assets) and $2.7 million (of which $1.9 million was classified in restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and $0.8 million was classified in other assets) as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $81.3 million, compared to $61.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The primary driver of operating cash flows is the result for the period, adjusted for any non-cash components. Net earnings from continuing operations were $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an improvement of $13.1 million from net earnings of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company paid swap termination costs of $4.0 million and key money in relation to the management agreement of Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond of $3.0 million, cash outflows which did not recur in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This improvement is offset in cash terms by the fact that the net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included a loss on extinguishment of debt of $14.5 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, disposal of Belmond’s equity method investment in Hotel Ritz by Belmond resulted in net cash proceeds of $43.7 million. The disposal resulted in a gain of $19.7 million which was recognized on completion and is reported within gain on sale from property, plant and equipment and equity method investments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, disposal of non-core assets of The Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond resulted in net cash proceeds of $37.8 million.

The gain on sale of $3.7 million is reported within gain on sale from property, plant and equipment and equity method investments. Belmond will continue to manage the hotel for the new owner under a management agreement with a ten-year term that permits termination on the fifth anniversary of the agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, there was a release of restricted cash of $0.6 million, compared to $7.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The amount released in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the repayment of the outstanding property level funded debt of Belmond with the exception of the debt of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, which took place in March 2014. Cash deposits were previously required to be held with lending banks to support Belmond’s payment of interest and principal.

Principal repayments under long-term debt were $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, relating to scheduled amortization of existing debt.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Belmond drew $5.4 million of loans to fund capital expenditure at Belmond Miraflores Park and Belmond Grand Hotel Europe and refinanced a $12.0 million loan secured on Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel. Subsequent to these drawdowns, Belmond entered into a $552.0 million secured term loan, the proceeds of which were used to repay all outstanding funded debt of Belmond apart from the debt of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, and the debt of Belmond’s unconsolidated joint venture companies. In August 2014, the debt of Charleston Center LLC was refinanced, resulting in an additional drawdown of $2.8 million. Principal repayments under long-term debt were $563.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a cash outflow of $27.4 million in relation to repurchases of Belmond’s class A common stock. There were no shares repurchases in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations. The results of Ubud Hanging Gardens and Porto Cupecoy have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Capital Commitments

Belmond routinely makes capital expenditures to enhance its business. These capital expenditures relate to maintenance, improvements to existing properties and investment in new properties. These capital commitments are expected to be funded through current cash balances, cash flows from operations and existing debt facilities.

52

There were $6.6 million of capital commitments outstanding at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $15.5 million) relating to project developments and refurbishment for existing properties.

Indebtedness

At September 30, 2015, Belmond had $600.1 million (December 31, 2014 - $617.7 million) of consolidated debt, including the current portion and including debt held by consolidated variable interest entities. Total debt at September 30, 2015 includes a $2.2 million reduction to the face value of the corporate debt facility which reflects the balance of the unamortized original issue discount and will be amortized through interest expense over the term of the loan.

On March 21, 2014, Belmond entered into a $552.0 million secured term loan and a $105.0 million revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to repay all outstanding funded debt apart from the debt of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, and the debt of Belmond’s unconsolidated joint venture companies.

The term loan consists of two tranches, a $345.0 million U.S. dollar tranche and a €150.0 million euro-denominated tranche (equivalent to $207.0 million at draw down). The dollar tranche bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3% per annum, and the euro tranche bears interest at a rate of EURIBOR plus 3.25% per annum. Both tranches are subject to a 1% interest rate floor. The term loan matures in March 2021 and the annual mandatory amortization is 1% of the principal amount. The euro-denominated tranche was repriced in June 2015 to a rate of EURIBOR plus 3% per annum.

The revolving credit facility matures in March 2019 and has a margin of 2.75% per annum, with a commitment fee of 0.4% paid on the undrawn amount.

The term loan and revolving credit facility are secured by pledges of shares in certain subsidiaries and by security interests in tangible and intangible personal property. There are no mortgages over real estate.

The weighted average duration of Belmond’s debt, including debt held by consolidated variable interest entities, is 5.3 years, and the weighted average interest rate is 4.28% which incorporates derivatives used to mitigate interest rate risk. See Note 9 to the Financial Statements regarding the maturity of long-term debt.

Debt of consolidated variable interest entities at September 30, 2015 included above comprised $97.4 million (December 31, 2014 - $97.5 million), including the current portion, of debt obligations of Charleston Center LLC, owner of Belmond Charleston Place in which Belmond has a 19.9% equity investment. In August 2014, Charleston Center LLC refinanced a secured loan of $83.2 million with a new $86.0 million loan secured on its real and personal property. The loan has a five year maturity, requires no amortization and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.12% per annum. The debt obligations of Charleston Center LLC also include a 1984 development loan from public agencies in the principal amount of $10.0 million on which interest of $16.4 million has accrued. These amounts are included in the liabilities of Charleston Center LLC (see Note 4). The development loan matures in 2028 and during its term provides for the lenders to receive 15% of the “net proceeds” (as defined in the applicable loan agreement) from any sale or refinancing of the property (other than a refinancing of the $86.0 million first mortgage loan). There is no recourse to Belmond for debt obligations of Charleston Center LLC and the principal and interest payments on that debt are funded from the operations of Belmond Charleston Place.

Including debt of consolidated variable entities, approximately 27% of the outstanding principal amount of Belmond’s consolidated debt is in euros and the balance primarily in U.S. dollars. At September 30, 2015, 49% of borrowings of Belmond were at floating interest rates.

53

Belmond has guaranteed or contingently guaranteed debt obligations of certain of its unconsolidated joint venture companies. The following table summarizes these commitments at September 30, 2015:

	Guarantee	Contingent guarantee	Duration
September 30, 2015	$ millions	$ millions
PeruRail joint venture:
Debt obligations	—	2.0	through 2017
Concession performance	—	6.7	through May 2016
Peru hotel joint venture:
Debt obligations	—	17.9	through 2020
Total	—	26.6

Belmond has contingently guaranteed the debt obligations of the rail joint venture in Peru through 2017. Belmond has also guaranteed the rail joint venture’s contingent obligations relating to the performance of its governmental rail concessions through May 2016. In addition, Belmond has contingently guaranteed $17.9 million of the debt obligations maturing in 2020 of the Peru hotels joint venture that operates four hotels. The contingent guarantees for each Peruvian joint venture may only be enforced in the event there is a change in control of the relevant joint venture, which would occur only if Belmond’s ownership of the economic and voting interests in the joint venture falls below 50%, an event which has not occurred and is not expected to occur.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As of September 30, 2015, Belmond had adopted all relevant accounting guidance, as reported in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting pronouncements to be adopted are also reported in Note 1.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a discussion of these, see under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Belmond is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.  These exposures are monitored and managed as part of its overall risk management program, which recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to mitigate material adverse effects on consolidated earnings and cash flow. Belmond does not hold market rate sensitive financial instruments for trading purposes.

The market risk relating to interest rates arises mainly from the financing activities of Belmond. Earnings are affected by changes in interest rates on floating rate borrowings, principally based on U.S. dollar LIBOR and EURIBOR. Belmond management assesses market risk based on changes in interest rates using a sensitivity analysis. If the rate (including margin) paid by Belmond increased by 10% with all other variables held constant and after taking into account the 1% floor on the corporate term loan, annual net finance costs of Belmond would have increased by approximately $0.1 million based on borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2015.

The market risk relating to foreign currencies arises from holding assets, buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the euro, British pound, South African rand, Russian ruble and Brazilian real. Some non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company borrow in local currencies, and Belmond may in the future enter into forward exchange contracts relating to purchases denominated in foreign currencies.

54

Ten of Belmond’s owned hotels in 2015 operated in European euro territories, two in Brazilian real, one in South African rand, one in British pounds sterling, three in Botswana pula, two in Mexican peso, one in Peruvian nuevo sol, one in Russian ruble and six in various Southeast Asian currencies. Revenue of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Belmond British Pullman, Belmond Northern Belle and Belmond Royal Scotsman trains was primarily in British pounds sterling, but the operating costs of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express were mainly denominated in euros. Revenue derived by Belmond Maroma Resort and Spa, Belmond La Samanna and Belmond Miraflores Park was recorded in U.S. dollars, but the majority of the hotels’ expenses were denominated in Mexican pesos, European euros and Peruvian nuevo soles, respectively. Both revenue and the majority of expenses for Belmond Governor's Residence and Belmond La Résidence D'Angkor were recorded in U.S. dollars.

The currency of revenue and costs at Belmond's properties are generally the same. Belmond hedges the U.S. dollar value of its euro denominated net assets by drawing part of its debt in euros and designating that debt as a net investment hedge. In addition, a significant proportion of the guests at Belmond hotels located outside of the United States originate from the United States. When a foreign currency in which Belmond operates depreciates against the U.S. dollar, Belmond has some flexibility to increase prices in local currency, or vice versa. Management believes that when these factors are combined, Belmond does not face a material exposure to its net earnings from currency movements, although the reporting of Belmond’s revenue and costs translated into U.S. dollars can, from period to period, be materially affected.

Belmond management uses a sensitivity analysis to assess the potential impact on net earnings of changes in foreign currency financial instruments from hypothetical changes in the foreign currency exchange rates. The primary assumption used in this model is a hypothetical 10% weakening or strengthening of the foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar. However, because Belmond does not have at September 30, 2015 any significant financial instruments in a currency other than the functional currency of the operation concerned, apart from the euro-denominated indebtedness designated as a net investment hedge discussed in Note 19, there is no material potential impact on net earnings at September 30, 2015 as a result of hypothetical changes in the foreign currency exchange rates.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of Belmond’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in SEC Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) to ensure that the information included in periodic reports filed with the SEC is assembled and communicated to Belmond management and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods. Based on that evaluation, Belmond management has concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in Belmond’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in SEC Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the third quarter of 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Belmond’s internal control over financial reporting.
