Comments from the CEO

The EBITDA margin increased by 2 percentage points in the first quarter

* The revenue increase was the main driver of this improvement

"We are pleased to report a RevPAR growth of almost 6% in the first quarter of
the year, an increase well above the market. Eastern Europe remained the best
performing region followed by the Middle East and Africa, where we see a return
to more normalised trading.

The positive RevPAR development combined with a stronger meetings and events
business generated a 7% revenue growth over last year.

As outlined in our Route 2015 strategy, we remain focused on improving
profitability, both in absolute terms and relative to the industry.  We will on
a regular basis communicate progress related to this strategy.

In the first quarter, we opened four hotels with close to 1,000 rooms, all




located in the emerging markets of Eastern Europe and Africa. We contracted six
new hotels, with over 1,400 rooms, all without financial committments."
