Barcel贸 2011 Annual Report

Presentation: letter from the Co-Chairmen The year 2011 has been especially important for the Grupo Barceló (Majorca, 1931) since we have celebrated our 80th anniversary; something which, regrettably and due mainly to the current economic situation, is increasingly less frequent in the domestic and international business scene. This has been made possible thanks to the fact that, during those years, we have maintained conservative policies in terms of cost and investment control and the search for profitability, without reducing the quality of our products. That philosophy, which is typical of most traditional family companies who focus on the long term instead of speculation and short-term profit, has guided us through the main decisions we have had to make in that difficult year. The most important decision we had to make was to cancel the 21 hotels which we had been operating under lease in the United Kingdom since 2007. It was a complicated measure, which we tried to avoid until the last minute, but the very high rent which was approved before the start of the crisis had become an unsustainable burden. Without those hotels, our Hotel Division decreased its portfolio to a total of 141 hotels, with over 39,000 rooms in 16 countries (figures at 30/04/2012). Despite this, and thanks to an improvement in the hotel business which, in 2011, increased the company’s recurring EBITDA by 20% to 113.9 million euros, compared with the 94.2 million euros in the same period of the previous year, the Grupo Barceló’s finances continue to be healthy.

Despite our strict cost control policy, 2011 was also a good year for investments, which amounted to 147 million euros. Of that amount, nearly 36 million euros were allocated to acquiring two hotels: Barceló Brno Palace in the Czech Republic and Barceló Hamburg in Germany (both inaugurated in early 2012). Nevertheless, the largest part of the investment, i.e. 106 million euros, was allocated to the renovation work carried out by Barceló Hotels & Resorts in its main hotel establishments such as Barceló Bávaro Beach Resort in the Dominican Republic, Barceló Sants in Barcelona and other hotels in Europe and Latin America, with the aim of improving the facilities. Lastly, the company allocated 5.4 million euros to the Travel Division which, in 2011, was strengthened with the creation of a new area devoted to the wholesale business, and will enter into operation in 2012 with the launch of 3 new tour operators: laCuartaIsla, Quelónea and Jolidey. Therefore, we believe that 2012 will be better than 2011, especially since the renovated hotels will be operating 100% and the results of the first quarter have been better than we expected. Nevertheless, and as usual in the last few years because of the unstable economic situation, we remain cautious and we will closely watch the market performance.

Proof of this is the fact that the group met all its financial commitments and the financial institutions with which we work agreed to renew and refinance all the operations that we presented throughout the year, thus showing their confidence in Barceló.

Milestones in 2011 The year 2011 was important for the Grupo Barceló since it set the bar very high: it managed to reach its 80th anniversary as a family company during all that time, something which, especially at present, is increasingly difficult to see. It was also a very complicated year in economic terms; nevertheless,

4.1

Hotel management

After many years of fast growth, the last two years have been conservative in terms of expansion; as a result of the domestic and international economic crisis, many new projects have been stopped. Nevertheless, the complicated economic situation has generated some positive factors for Barceló Hotels & Resorts such as major renovation work was carried out, taking advantage of the fact that some hotels had less occupancy, and some investments were made to acquire hotels which seemed like interesting opportunities.

•

thanks to the company’s financial health and broad experience in hotel management, this has been overcome. Fortunately, the projections for 2012 are somewhat slightly more optimistic.

Expansion, sale of assets and cancellation of leases

In 2011, the chain acquired one hotel in Morocco (Barceló Fes Medina) and sold another one in that country (Barceló Casablanca), although it continues to manage the latter. Nevertheless, the main operation in this chapter was the cancellation of the 21 hotels that Barceló Hotels & Resorts leased in the United Kingdom since 2007. The group tried to reach an agreement with the owners until the last minute, but they refused to decrease the very high rent that had been agreed during the boom times, so it decided to cancel those leases and thus end the loss situation which was becoming unsustainable.

After that, Barceló Hotels & Resorts’ portfolio comprises a total of 141 hotels, with more than 39,000 rooms in 16 countries (figure at 30/04/2012).

•

Investments in acquisitions and refurbishments

Since some of the hotels were not operating at full capacity, Barceló Hotels & Resorts took advantage of this and carried out major renovation work. The most ambitious was the renovation of Barceló Bávaro Beach Resort in the Dominican Republic, which lasted for two years, until December 2011, and led to a major refurbishment of its facilities; from 5, it now has 2 hotels: Barceló Bávaro Palace Deluxe and Barceló Bávaro Beach. Apart from that development, which was the first one that the hotel chain opened outside Spain, the other hotel that benefited from major refurbishment was Barceló Sants in Barcelona, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary as the first city hotel in Spain of our hotel chain.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

Barceló Sants. Barcelona, Spain

The investment made in 2011 to carry out both renovations, plus other ones performed on other hotels in Europe and Latin America, amounted to 106 million euros. On the other hand, and what usually happens during economic crises in which interesting investment opportunities arise, Barceló Hotels & Resorts paid 36.2 million euros in 2011 to acquire two strategic hotels: Barceló Brno Palace in the Czech Republic and Barceló Hamburg in Germany. They both opened in early 2012. The results obtained in all of them in the first quarter of 2012 appear to indicate that this is going to be a better year than 2011.

•

Consolidation of new tourism segments: adults only

In terms of hotel segmentation, 2011 consolidated a trend that has been unstoppable in the last few years: the adults-only hotels. After opening Barceló Jandía Club Premium in Fuerteventura and Barceló Illetas Albatros in Majorca in 2010, Barceló Hotels & Resorts closed 2011 with two new establishments of this type: Barceló Cayo Libertad Club Premium in Cuba and Barceló Bávaro Beach. In May 2012, a fifth adults-only hotel will be added: Barceló Hamilton in Minorca.

•

Promotion through online channels and social media

Barceló Hotels & Resorts began its focus on social media two years ago, although in 2011 it decided to decisively promote itself through the new online communication channels. It reinforced its presence mainly in the following social media: Twitter (http:// twitter.com/barcelohoteles), Flickr (www.flickr.com/ barcelohotels), Youtube (www.youtube.com/barcelohoteles) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/ barcelohotels). In this respect, the chain has been one of the first Spanish hotel companies to provide its Facebook site with the necessary tools to make bookings without having to go through the group’s website, thus making this a promising sales channel. With respect to its main online sales channel (www. barcelo.com), Barceló Hotels & Resorts devoted most of 2011 to the design of a new version, much more focused on sales, and which has been implemented in spring 2012.

Expansion of the Travel Division

For Barceló Viajes, the Grupo Barceló’s Travel Division, 2011 was a year in which consumers fully acknowledged it as a “travellers’ brand” and in which the brand reinforced its leading role and importance as a result of implementing strategies, initiatives and tools that have made it one of the leading companies in the sector. Moreover, at the end of 2011, the company announced that the Travel Division would be developed as a global travel operator, based on the retail distribution structure, by creating three sectorial tour operators and new online distribution channels. Again in 2011, in the midst of a very negative macroeconomic scenario, our revenues grew 8% overall with respect to 2010 to reach 521 million euros. This was due to the development and growth of the joint activity with BBVA and the good performance of the Amex Barceló Viajes business unit. The collaboration with BBVA began in 2010 and continued in 2011 with good results for both parties, offering Barceló Viajes’ product portfolio to more than 7 million customers and 29,000 employees of BBVA with very advantageous conditions through all the bank’s communication and sales channels. Our main presence with the BBVA brand can be seen on the high street, in 30 Barceló agencies located in the bank’s best branches throughout Spain, which provide all the brand’s services to customers, employees and the public in general.

The joint venture between Barceló and WRS Spain, the licence holder for the flagship National Geographic Stores in Spain, continued the trend in 2011 of the agreement signed the previous year, through the stores in Madrid and Palma de Mallorca; the former, which was warmly received by the public and customers, reached its first anniversary in November; and the latter, which is located in Palma’s golden mile in calle Jaime III, opened its doors on 17 June, receiving both local customers and tourists mainly from northern Europe. The Espacio Barceló Viajes section of both flagship National Geographic Stores sell trips of a lifetime, including the “Barceló Viajes Large Expeditions at the National Geographic Store” (for example, the American West, the Canadian Arctic, the Chicago Photography Workshop, Rwanda and Kenya in family) and the legendary “National Geographic Expeditions”. The strength of the National Geographic brand is also present in the Barceló agency network: 22 branches have a National Geographic corner that provides travellers with a complete selection of the best National Geographic products and consolidates the differentiating concept that Barceló Viajes has of Large Trips. The Barceló Collection grew in 2011 through three monthly proposals, inviting people to rediscover a cinematographic Morocco and spending a cool summer in Berlin, and provided travellers with travel products and proposals, highlighted mainly

by the contemporary closeness to the best known destinations and stimuli. Created by the Travel Design Department, the Barceló Collection products constantly attract the interest of both travellers and the general and specialist media, delving into our brands’ marketing and communication strategies. The “Viajeros 2011” magazine had a print run of 300,000 copies; more than ever before, our travellers were the real protagonists of the magazine in its fifth edition. They provided their experiences, their trails, their findings, etc. Experiences which inspire your next trip. Apart from those travellers, other Spanish actors, writers and celebrities, such as Raquel Silva, Marta Robles, Imanol Arias, María Dueñas, Espido Freire and Carlos Sobera, also guided and inspired our Barceló travellers, making sure that the digital version (viajerosbarcelo. com) is a must towards www.barceloviajes.com, our direct sales website, which, in 2011, received more than 25 million visitors, with over 17 million unique users and, above all, 51 million euros in sales, accounting for 14% of total revenues at Barceló Viajes. All those figures show our strength in the B2C segment.

such as running the New York marathon with a Barceló traveller and the chef Darío Barrio, captured thousands of new and former travellers, who participated in them with their experiences, videos and images, creating value and feeding the travellers’ content of our social media, publications and website. The “From traveller to traveller” message was a reality once again and became a successful part of the company’s communication and marketing strategy. In 2011, PlanB! (the Barceló Experience product) grew satisfactorily, selling over 141,000 boxes and increasing its share of the wonderbox market to 18%. The range of PlanB! products, comprising 32 wonderboxes of various themes, is present in more than 3,500 points of sale throughout Spain.

Barceló Viajes’ creative campaign in 2011 had 5 protagonists, where the spelling of their names was joined with their travel destination: Caribeatriz, Romalberto, Tailandialex, Brasilvia and Mallorcarlos. Through Viajerosbarcelo.com, they transmitted all their travel imagination and experience, laying the foundations for our brand as the “travellers’ brand”. The campaigns carried out in 2011,

Training in 2011

2nd 2011-2013 PDD (Manager Development Programme)

Training and development form part of our company’s culture, so we permanently foster the ongoing training of our more than 24,000 employees, orienting their training towards professional fulfilment and personal satisfaction.

In the second half of 2011, the 2nd Manager Development Programme began for both our hotel managers of Latin America and of the EMEA, in collaboration with Lausanne University in Switzerland, an avant-garde tourism school; the first module was “Service Excellence”.

Hotel manager development programmes 1st 2008-2011 PDD (Manager Development Programme) As part of our strategic training project called “Barceló B Campus”, which focuses on training our managers, 59 hotel managers of the EMEA territory completed the first edition of the 1st PDD (2008-2011), with the presentation of a Business Plan for a case study in the hotel sector in front of the board of examiners formed by professors of the San Pablo University Business School and managers from Barceló Hotels & Resorts. The presentations of the various projects, as well as the graduation ceremony, were in April 2011 at Hotel Barceló Renacimiento in Seville, with the presence of the Seville mayor as the graduation’s master of ceremonies.

The first day was oriented towards developing practical skills and preparing the participants to have the knowledge, competences and correct mentality to perfect their business performance through customer service excellence.. Executive Course on Leadership and People Management With the aim of generating a standard management style and reinforcing our group’s cohesion, the Regional Managers and some Corporate Managers received an Executive Course on Leadership and People Management, which fostered working in teams across the board, increasing their enthusiasm in order to guarantee success in the results through them and their teams. Barceló Development Programme

That programme, which lasted for about 2 years (2008-2011), dealt with subjects such as People Management, Sales and Marketing Management and, Strategic Management, Finance and Negotiation, with the final aim of training our hotel managers as managers with a more strategic view.

training with onsite training, and differentiated training itineraries were created for the two management groups: an “Operational” itinerary for Assistant Managers and a “Managerial” itinerary for Deputy Managers. Based on this new approach, and in coordination with the Hotel Management School of Galicia, the following modules were developed:

all the workforce participates in the common idea shared with the business management. Within corporate training, there was also training for the hotel HR management, with an expert on the new features of the 2010 Employment Reform and the Equality Plan at the company.

Ongoing hotel training plans • Operational Module: “Food & Beverage Management” for ADH • Managerial Module: “Sales and profitability of hotel restaurants” for SDH Both itineraries were valued satisfactorily by the 50 participants who took part in the 2-day programme in Malaga in October 2011.

Corporate programmes Corporate training is understood as training which supports the lines of work of our “Reactor” strategic plan. Therefore, to meet the need of motivating the hotel middle management, the Corporate Programme focused on continuing training at the Motivation Workshop which we began in 2010. A total of 32 projects were collected until December 2011 as a result of the closure of that workshop; action plans were proposed by the Department Managers to improve the attitude detected among the hotel workforce. Many of the innovating ideas have already been implemented in the hotels, so that

One of the objectives on which we are working is to improve the detection of training needs among our workforce based on the training needs of each establishment. Through the HR departments of the Group’s hotels, the workforce’s abilities and skills have been fostered in their respective jobs. The main training areas have been in “Quality, Environment and Organisation” and in “Specific Hotel Sector Issues” (for the Spa, Food & Beverage, Reception, Technical Services, etc. departments).

Selection Our Management Team grows with Barceló Barceló continues to focus on internal promotion: in 2011, 20 new ADHs joined the EMEA area, of whom 80% were working at Barceló and joined Barceló’s Development Programme to form part of the management team and grow in order to be future Barceló managers. Regarding other management in the EMEA area, of the 11 Deputy Manager positions filled, 73% were carried out with internal promotion of the employees from the Development Plan; in the same way, 50% of the Hotel Manager positions filled came from internal promotions. In Latin America, 10 employees were promoted to management positions, 8 of which were for Deputy Managers; the employees who were in middle management received internal promotion. In the US hotels, 6 employees were also promoted to management positions. Our Plan to Attract Future Managers

programme to develop their functions on a daily basis and they are tutored by the hotel manager. Our group of future managers is one of the projects in which we are fully involved. Talent management To create a good Barceló Management school, it is fundamental to create a good work base that will enable us to identify the internal talent within the Group. In 2011, we invested time and resources to define the key behaviour that our future deputy managers and assistant managers must have and which will help us to identify persons with talent using objective tools. The method that we used was to organise 3 workshops, in which the persons considered to be successful within the organisation took part; the purpose was to define the success profile of a deputy manager and assistant manager. That first phase of the project was completed in 2011 and its implementation is expected to be in 2012 by carrying out specialist interviews in order to identify the candidates who will form part of Barceló’s talent map.

In 2011, we continued our efforts to maintain a large number of students in work placements to join our PDB (Barceló Development Plan). We contacted and visited 12 Spanish and foreign schools, taking on 39 students to carry out work placements as Assistant Managers in the EMEA region. Of those students, 20% joined the company through our Development Plan (PDB). During the Plan, which lasts an average of two years, the Assistant Managers follow a training

Fundación Barceló in 2011

Fundación Barceló, which was created in 1989 at the initiative of the Barceló Oliver family, works preferably in the areas of health, education, microcredits, cooperation to improve economic development and environmental protection. The priority areas are several countries in Central America, the Caribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa, where the economic and social development is low. Likewise, certain areas are also included which, although they have a more favourable position in accordance with the Human Development Index (HDI), have major shortages and needs in the Foundation’s areas of action. All of this is aimed at giving new opportunities and the necessary resources to people in vulnerable situations so that they can enjoy a better quality of life.

In 2011, the Barceló Foundation carried out 65 projects in 19 countries, benefitting a total of 171,000 people. The Foundation counted on the collaboration from 30 local partners, i.e. entities which act in the chosen areas and are in charge of executing the projects in accordance with the appropriate efficacy and efficiency criteria. The main actions in education were the projects to build and improve the educational infrastructure in Madovela (Mozambique), Ethiopia and Nsutem (Ghana), and expand the school of the Scavenger Children project in Santiago de los Caballeros (the Dominican Republic). The Foundation also funded the equipment and actions aimed at improving educational quality. Likewise, in 2011, the Foundation funded the schooling of 1,400 students in countries such as Burundi, Burkina Faso, the Ivory Coast, Guatemala, Mozambique, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic, thus enabling children to start or continue their studies. The education projects in 2011 amounted to 26, with a total expense of 361,500 euros and 7,968 beneficiaries.

Another priority action area for the Foundation is to improve healthcare. The International Medical Aid (AMI) Programme, an in-house programme, began in the Dominican Republic in 1995 and carries out the following activities, among others: a free welfare programme for very needy people undertaken by voluntary specialist doctors, including surgical operations of various types; the provision of medical infrastructure, equipment and materials; the distribution of free medicines to people who do not have the necessary economic resources; and training programmes for local healthcare specialists so that they can help to sustain the actions in the future.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

Expansion of the Scavenger Children project in Santiago de los Caballeros.

In addition to the AMI Programme, developed mainly in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, the Foundation has funded projects to build and improve healthcare infrastructure in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Guatemala, provide medical equipment and carry out aid programmes to improve nutrition and food safety. A total of 19 healthcare projects were carried out, totalling 371,000 euros and benefiting 82,435 people. In the area of cooperation for productive and environmental development, the first results have been released from the Payma Project in Dosso (Niger) and projects were carried out to provide access to water by building water wells (in Niger and Cameroon) and a reservoir in Kenya. Special attention should be given to the funding of 36 Drinking Water Supply and Treatment Committees (CAPS), which are in charge of managing water access for rural communities in Nicaragua. Likewise, projects were undertaken to improve agricultural productivity, including the training of local beneficiaries so that those improvements are sustainable.

Incubator funded by the Foundation for Kanzenze Hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In 2011, the Foundation funded 10 projects in this area, totalling 187,000 euros and benefiting 62,058 people. The Foundation granted new microcredits to 2,780 beneficiaries through local institutions in Niger, Burkina Faso, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. They are all small amounts aimed especially at women so that they can improve their agricultural and/or cattle production or create and manage microbusinesses which provide the only family wage. In 2011, a total of 150,800 euros were devoted to these new projects. Lastly, the Foundation has maintained its cultural and arts programme both in the centre of Palma de Mallorca and at the Arts and Cultural Centre in Felanitx, focusing mainly on making Balearic authors or artists who have painted in the Balearic Islands from the 19th and 20th centuries known to the public. The Foundation also sponsored the Capella Mallorquina, a renowned polyphonic choir.

Corporate Information

Barceló Corporación Empresarial, S.A., (hereinafter the “Parent Company”) was incorporated on December 22, 1962 for an indefinite period of time with limited liability in Spain, under the name of Hotel Hamilton, S.A. On June 23, 2000, the Company modified its official name to the current name. Barceló Corporación Empresarial, S.A. and its subsidiaries, which are detailed in Appendix I (part of Note 1) comprise the Barceló Group (hereinafter the Group). The Group’s activities are basically the management and operation of hotels under an ownership, leasing or management basis and the operation of retail travel agencies. The Group also promotes projects broadly related to the tourism and hotel industries, owning shares in other companies. In 2011 the Group has mainly carried out its activities in Spain, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Panama, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Morocco, Portugal, Cuba, Egypt and Germany. The Group’s registered and head offices are located in C/ José Rover Motta, 27, in Palma de Mallorca (Spain).

Consolidation Perimeter Appendix I details the companies included in the consolidation perimeter. Note 3 describes the main variations in the perimeter throughout the year.

Associates excluded from the consolidation perimeter The investment in Rey Sol, S.A. and subsidiaries has been excluded from the consolidation perimeter as the influence is not relevant.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

2.1

Main Accounting Policies and Valuation Standards

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated annual accounts have been prepared from the internal accounting records of the Parent Company, Barceló Corporación Empresarial, S.A., and from the accounting records of each of the consolidated subsidiaries, duly adjusted according to the accounting principles established in the EU-IFRS. The comparative information for 2010 included in these accounts has been prepared according to the same standards. These financial statements are expressed in euro units unless otherwise specified. These consolidated financial statements have been formulated by the Board of Directors and are pending approval at the Annual Shareholders’ meeting. It is expected that they will be approved without changes. In 2012 the Company foresees a distribution of dividends for an amount of 2 million euros. This distribution will be carried to reserves for the Parent Company. The proposed distribution is pending approval at the General Shareholders Meeting. The 2011 consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated cash flow and changes in equity statements, follow the same presentation basis used for the 2010 accounts and are therefore comparable between years. Note 3 contains the breakdown of the variations which have occurred in the consolidation perimeter in the years 2010 and 2011. The accounting policies prevailing at December 31, 2011, are the same as those existing in 2010, with the exception of the following standards or interpretations which have been issued or modified:

a. Standards and interpretations approved by the European Union which are applicable for 2011 The accounting policies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 are the same as those applied in the year ended December 31, 2010, with the exception of the following standards or interpretations which are applicable for accounting periods beginning as of and including January 1, 2011: •

IAS 32 “Classification of issue rights” The application of this amendment has not had an impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

•

IAS 24 “Related party disclosures” This standard includes several amendments: The definition of a related party is clarified. In addition, the amendment introduces an exemption from the general related party disclosure requirements for transactions with government and entities that are controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the same government as the reporting entity. The adoption of the amendment did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

•

IFRIC 14 “Prepayments of a Minimum Funding requirement” This amendment is applied in specific situations when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover those requirements. The amendment allows entities to treat the benefit of such an early payment as a pension asset. Since the Group has no minimum funding requirements, the application of these criteria has had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

•

IFRIC 19 “Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments” This interpretation establishes that when the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and result in equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the financial liability, the instruments issued are considered to be part of the consideration paid to extinguish the financial liability; such equity instruments should

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

be measured at fair value, unless it cannot be reliably measured, in which case the new equity instruments should be measured to reflect the fair value of the financial liability extinguished; and the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the initial measurement amount of the equity instruments issued is included in the entity’s profit and loss for the period. The application of these criteria has had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group. •

Improvements to IFRS (May 2010) In May 2010, the IASB issued its third omnibus of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The adoption of the following amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies, but no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

IFRS 3 Business combinations: The measurement options available for non-controlling interest (NCI) were amended. Only components of NCI that constitute a present ownership interest that entitles their holder to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation should be measured at either fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable assets. All other components are to be measured at the acquisition date fair value. IFRS 7 Financial Instruments - Disclosures: This amendment aims to simplify the disclosures provided by reducing the volume of disclosures around collateral held and improving disclosures by requiring qualitative information to put the quantitative information in context. The Group reflects the revised disclosure requirements in Notes 8, 10 and 22. IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements: This amendment clarifies that an entity may present an analysis of each component of other comprehensive income either in the statement of changes in equity or in the Notes to the financial statements. The Group provides this analysis in Notes 8, 14, 18 and 19. IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements: This amendment requires that condensed interim financial statements include additional disclosures on fair value and the changes in classification of financial assets, as well as changes in contingent assets and liabilities. This amendment is not applicable to the Group.

The improvements to IFRS include other amendments to the following standards, which have not had an impact on the accounting policies, financial position or results of the Group.

IFRS 3 Business combinations: Clarifies that the contingent price arising from a business combination previous to the adoption of IFRS (amended in 2008) is to be recognised in accordance with IFRS 3 (2005). IFRS 3 Business combinations: clarifies the accounting treatment in business combinations of sharebased payment awards of the acquirer replaced by the agreements with employees of the acquiree. IAS 27 Consolidated and separate financial statements: Application of the transition requirements of IAS 27 (Amended in 2008) as a result of the amended standards. IFRIC 13 Customer loyalty programmes: On determining the fair value of loyalty award credits, a company should take into account the discounts and incentives that would be offered in other cases where the customers have not received such credits.

b. Standards and interpretations approved by the European Union which are not of compulsory application this year The Group has not adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment in advance which has been published but is not yet in force. The Group is assessing the possible effect that the following standard, issued by the IASB and approved by the European Union, but which are not yet applicable, could have on its financial position and performance: •

Amendment to IFRS 7 “Disclosures – Transfer of financial assets”: Applicable to the periods beginning as of July 1, 2011.

c. Standards and interpretations published by the IASB and pending approval by the European Union At the issue date of these consolidated financial statements, the following standards, amendments and interpretations had been published by the IASB but were not of compulsory application and had not been approved by the European Union:

Amendments to IFRS 7 “Disclosures - Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities”: Applicable to the periods beginning as of January 1, 2013.

At present, the Group is assessing the impact of the application of these standards, amendments and interpretations. Based on the analysis undertaken to date, the Group considers that, with the exception of the accounting of multigroup companies recognised by the proportional method which will now be accounted for by the equity method, the application of these standards and amendments will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements in the initial application period.

2.2.

Consolidation principles

The accompanying consolidated annual accounts of the Group include the accounts of Barceló Corporación Empresarial, S.A. and subsidiaries. The consolidation methods applied are the following: •

• •

Those subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by the Company are fully consolidated from the date said control is obtained until it is terminated. This method consists in aggregating the items which represent assets and liabilities, income and expenses and equity items generated after the control is effective. All intergroup transactions and balances are eliminated in the consolidation process. Associates where the Parent Company does not have direct or indirect control, but where a significant influence is held, are consolidated by the equity method. Companies which are jointly managed are proportionately consolidated.

Minority interest represents the proportion of net assets and results of the subsidiaries and is presented on a separate line in the consolidated income statement and in the Group’s consolidated equity. With regard to the acquisition of minority interest, the difference between the acquisition cost and the minority interest are considered less reserves of the Group. Appendix I includes those companies integrated by the full accounting method.

2.3

Conversion of foreign companies’ annual accounts

All the assets, rights and obligations of companies which are not in the euro zone (the Group’s functional currency) and are included in the consolidation scope are converted to euros using the end of period exchange rate. The income statement items have been converted at the weighted average exchange rate for the year.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

The difference between the amount of the foreign companies’ equity, including the income statement balance calculated as explained in the section above and converted at the historical exchange rate, and the equity situation arising from the conversion of the assets, rights and obligations at the year-end exchange rate, is recorded with a positive or negative sign, as applicable, in the consolidated balance sheet equity under the heading “Conversion differences”. In the case of a total or partial foreign investment, the part of the conversion difference included in equity relating to said investment is carried to profit and loss. The conversion differences accumulated at the transition date (January 1, 2007) have been reclassified to full integration reserves or associates according to IFRS-1.22. Therefore, the conversion differences included in the consolidated balance sheet relate to those generated since said date. The functional currency of all the subsidiaries is the official currency of the country in which they operate. None of the subsidiaries operates in a hyperinflationary economy.

2.4

Business combinations and Goodwill

Business combinations are undertaken applying the acquisition method. The acquisition cost is valued on the basis of the carrying value of the assets delivered and the liabilities incurred or assumed at the exchange date, plus the costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in the business combination are initially valued at their fair value at the acquisition date regardless of any minority participation. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, i.e. the excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the acquired company’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference is directly recognised in the income statement. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, as of the acquisition date, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units.

2.5

Investments in associates

Group investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence but does not control. Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the net assets of the associate. The income statement reflects the share of results of operations in the associate. This is the profit attributable to the holders of the share in the associate and therefore, it is profit after tax and minority interest in the subsidiaries of the associates. When there is a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised losses and gains arising from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated in proportion to the share. The associate’s financial statements have the same reporting date as the Parent Company. When required, the necessary adjustments are made so that the associate’s accounting policies conform to those used by the Group. In subsequent valuations, the Group decides whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in its associates. The Group determines, at the date of each balance sheet, whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and it is recognised in the income statement.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

2.6

Investments in joint ventures

The Group has shares in joint ventures which are jointly controlled entities in which there is an agreement whereby the involved parties undertake economic activities subject to joint control. The Group recognises its interest in the joint venture using proportionate consolidation. The Group combines its participation in each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint venture with the similar items, line by line, in its consolidated financial statements. Appendix I shows the companies integrated by the proportional, and the assets and liabilities integrated by the proportional method. The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same accounting period as the Parent Company. When required, the necessary adjustments are made so that the accounting policies conform to those used by the Group. Adjustments are made in the Group’s consolidated financial statements to eliminate the Group’s interest in intragroup balances, income and expenses and profit and loss between the Group and the joint ventures.

2.7

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are measured at acquisition or production cost. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life, whereas intangible assets with indefinite life are not amortised but are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Intangible assets include: •

Industrial property, licenses and similar are measured at the cost incurred and are amortised on a straight-line basis over a 3-year period. • Software is measured at acquisition cost and is amortised on a straight-line basis during a period of between three and five years. Software maintenance costs are charged to expenses when incurred. • Leaseholds mainly correspond to the valuation of the rental contracts of the hotels acquired in business combinations previous to the IFRS transition date. Leaseholds are amortised on a straight-line basis over the duration of the rental contracts which finish in 2035. • Goodwill is not amortised and is tested for impairment annually. • Other intangible assets mainly relate to the acquisition cost of or cost incurred to obtain the management contracts of hotels in the United States. They are amortised on a straight-line basis over the economic life of the contracts according to their length.

2.8

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, plus the financial and acquisition expenses related to the debt which finances the purchase of assets until they are put into use. In 1996, some Spanish companies revalued their tangible fixed assets in accordance with article 5 of Royal Decree Law 7/1996. The maximum revaluation coefficients were applied and all the assets items were affected with the exception of those which were totally depreciated at December 31, 1996. At transition date, the plots of land on which certain hotels are located were revalued, taking into account their fair value as an attributable cost as of the transition date as permitted in IFRS 1. The valuations of assets in Latin America were performed by American Appraisal at December 31, 2008 based on market valuation criteria by means of the discounted cash flow method using a discount rate ranging between 8% and 10% and taking into account the investment risk and the profitability required for comparable investments. The valuations of assets in Spain were performed by Eurovaloraciones, S.A. at December 31, 2008 based on market valuation criteria by calculating the net present value and the residual value. Discount rates ranging between 7% and 10% have been used. The table below shows, in thousands of euros, the increase of the attributable cost of the plots of land in accordance with the revaluations performed, at the transition date (January 1, 2007.

Annual depreciation and amortisation is calculated applying the straight-line method depending on the estimated useful life of the various assets, which is generally between 30 and 50 for building and renovations and between 2.5 and 18 years for furniture and fittings, machinery and other assets. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expenses when they are incurred. In 2011, the useful life of certain property, plant & equipment has been modified in order to bring the economic useful life of the items into line with the hotel maintenance policy undertaken in recent years by the Group.

2.9

Investment properties

Investment properties are accounted for at the carrying value of the real estate investments maintained in order to obtain rental income or property sale gains. These assets are measured at cost and are amortised on a straight-line basis following the same criteria used for property, plant and equipment.

2.10

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each closing date whether there is an indication that the carrying value of the non-financial assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group makes an estimate of the assets’ recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s net sale price and its value in use. On assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For those assets that do not generate cash inflows that are highly independent, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating units to which the asset belongs. Due to their particular characteristics, certain hotel assets include a significant real estate component and have therefore been valued by the Group’s internal departments to determine their recoverable amount in accordance with market real estate indicators. In order to determine the value in use of the hotel assets, the Group performs internal valuations using market discount rates or contracts valuation services from independent experts. Impairment losses are recognised for all those assets or, where applicable, cash-generating units which include them, when the carrying value exceeds the corresponding recoverable amount. Impairment losses are accounted for in the consolidated income statement. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount. This reversal is recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account. In this respect, the reversal of an impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset previously.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

2.11

Financial instruments

2.11.1 Financial instruments - assets In accordance with IAS 39, assets financial instruments are classified, depending on valuation criteria, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and hedge derivatives. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value, plus the expenses inherent to the acquisition, with the exception of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, where said expenses are directly carried to expenses for the year.

Loans and receivables Loans and receivables relate to collection rights for a specific amount and date that are not quoted in an active market. Following initial recognition, loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Accrued interest from the loans is recognised in income in accordance with the effective rate.

Assets at fair value through profit or loss This heading includes those derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments. This is the case of the sale options of the participations in American Express Barceló Viajes, S.L. (see Note 8.1). These assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative hedges which cannot be classified under the other financial assets captions. After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are valued at fair value, with the exception of investments in the equity instruments of companies which do not quote in an active market and whose fair value cannot, therefore be reliably determined. These investments are measured at cost. Changes in fair value are directly recognised in equity. When part or all of these financial assets is derecognised or the profit or loss recognised in equity is impaired, it is carried to results for the year.

2.11.2 Financial instruments - liabilities In accordance with IAS 39, liabilities financial instruments are classified, depending on valuation criteria, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and loans and other accounts payable. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, plus the expenses inherent to the acquisition, with the exception of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, where said expenses are directly carried to expenses for the year.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss This heading only includes cash flow derivatives (SWAPs) contracted by the Group, which do not fulfil the requirements to be considered as hedge instruments and the fair value of which does not favour the Group. As indicated in the heading’s title, the financial liabilities are measured at closing for their fair value through profit or loss.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

Loans and borrowings Loans and borrowings relate to payment obligations of a determinable amount and date. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The accrued interest from the loans is recognised in the income statement in accordance with the effective rate.

Hedge derivatives The Group has contracted interest rate hedge derivatives (interest rate swaps) to cover the fluctuation of the Euribor/Libor on certain loans linked to a variable interest rate. These derivatives contracted by the Group are cash flow hedges. These financial instrument derivatives are initially valued at fair value. Derivatives are recognised as financial assets if their value is positive and financial liabilities if their value is negative. Initially, the Group will formally designate and document the hedge relationship. Moreover, this cover must be totally effective. Derivatives which fulfil the criteria to be designated as hedges are recognised as follows: The profit or loss portion of the hedge instrument (variation of the derivatives fair value) which has been determined as effective, is recognised in equity, and is carried to income in the year or years in which the foreseen covered operation affects profit or loss.

2.11.3 Impairment of financial assets Each year-end closing, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that its financial assets are impaired. If such evidence exists, the Group determines the amount of any impairment loss according to the following criteria:

Financial assets carried at amortised cost The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Short-term investments are not discounted. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss for the year. Specifically, the Group undertakes a periodical analysis of the age of accounts receivable in order to determine whether there is evidence of impairment.

The Group’s provision criteria is to provide for 25% of the balances overdue for between 180 and 270 days, 50% of the balances overdue for between 270 and 365 days and 100% of the balances overdue for more than a year. Those balances which are clearly unrecoverable are considered to be failed.The Group uses a corrective account to provide for said balances.

Available-for-sale financial assets When the decrease in fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been directly recognised in equity and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the accumulated losses that have been recorded in equity are recognised in the income statement. For this type of asset, objective evidence of impairment is considered to be a prolonged or significant decrease in the fair value to less than cost. The Group presents said impairment as a lower value of the corresponding asset.

2.12

Cash and cash equivalents

All those investments with an original maturity of three months or less and which do not have any risk of change in value are considered by the Group to be cash equivalents.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

2.13

Leases

Finance leases, which substantially transfer to the Group all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income. Leased assets are depreciated over their useful life. However, the investments made by the Group in assets under operating lease are amortised over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement according to the accrual principle over the lease term.

2.14

Inventories

Inventories are those assets to be used for consumption or sale during the course of the hotels’ ordinary activity (food and beverages, gift shops, maintenance) and sales and promotional items relating to the Travel Division. Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost and market value.

2.15

Non-current assets held for sale

Those assets whose carrying value will basically be recovered through their sale rather than through their continued use are classified under the heading “Non-current assets maintained for sale”, when the following requirements are fulfilled: • •

They are immediately available for sale in their present condition, subject to the normal terms of sale. The sale is highly probable.

Non-current assets held for sale are accounted for at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not amortised and, where necessary, the appropriate value adjustments are made so that the accounting value does not exceed the fair value less the costs to sell.

2.16

Income tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised according to the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying value of the existing assets and liabilities in the annual accounts and their corresponding tax base. All tax assets or liabilities are recognised, with the exception of those arising in the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit. Moreover, in the case of deferred tax assets for temporary differences, the corresponding Group companies are required to obtain future taxable profit, which is sufficient to realise said asset. This condition must also be fulfilled for the deferred tax assets arising from tax losses or deductions. Deferred tax liabilities related to investments in subsidiaries are not recognised if the following two conditions are fulfilled: a. The Group is capable, at all times, of controlling the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference. b. It is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Group fulfils these two conditions since it controls the dividends policy of these Group companies and does not need nor intend to distribute dividends. Deferred taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are also recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount which is expected to be recovered or paid. The applicable tax rate is that approved at closing.

2.17

Foreign currency transactions

Debit and credit balances in foreign currency are valued at the exchange rate prevailing on the corresponding transaction date and are reconverted at year-end at the rate then in effect. Exchange differences are recorded as income or expenses for the year.

2.18

Long-term commitments with employees

The Group has certain long-term commitments with its employees: In Spain for loyalty/retirement premiums related to certain labour agreements applying to the hotel and travel agency industries. In Mexico for loyalty premiums related to the country’s labour legislation. These are defined benefit commitments and are measured according to an actuarial study. The Group’s accounting policy is to recognise all actuarial profits and losses in the income statement. The subsidiaries domiciled in the USA and the United Kingdom recognise certain employee benefits. These commitments are defined contribution commitments and are therefore recognised in the income statement when the annual contribution to the plan is accrued. Note 14 contains all the information regarding these commitments.

2.19

Other provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event making an outflow of resources probable. Moreover, an estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. An onerous contract is one in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The unavoidable contract costs under a contract reflect the lowest net cost of exiting from the contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. Before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, the Group will recognise any impairment losses that have occurred on assets dedicated to that contract. If the Group has an onerous contract, the present obligations arising from it are recognised and measured, in the financial statements, as provisions. The main contingencies arising from the provisions recognised in the balance sheet are detailed in Note 14.

2.20

Revenue recognition

The breakdown of the Group’s revenue recognition policy for each revenue area is as follows: •

Revenue for rendering of services arising from the operation of both owned and leased hotels: These revenues are recorded depending on their accrual. The Group records the operating sales and expenses of the owned hotels and those which are leased from third parties in the profit and loss account, and assumes the rights and obligations inherent to the hotel business in its own name.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

• • •

Revenue for services rendered relating to the hotel management activity: This revenue is recorded on an accruals basis for the management fees charged. Revenue for services rendered relating to the casino operation activity: This revenue is booked on an accruals basis for the difference between the amount bet and the winnings paid out. Revenue from the Travel Division: The Travel Division is basically a travel sales intermediary. Revenue is recognised through the margin between the sale value and the cost of supplies on delivery of the travel documentation, which is the moment when all risks and benefits are transferred to the client, regardless of the date of travel and of the use of the services contracted.

41 2.21

Assessments, estimates and assumptions on the financial statements

The preparation of the present financial statements requires the management to make assessments, estimates and assumptions which affect the amount of assets, liabilities and breakdowns of contingencies.

Operating leases The Group has signed long-term lease contracts for hotels as the lessee. The Group management has determined that, on the basis of the terms and conditions of each of the contracts, no significant risks and benefits relating to the property are assumed and for this reason they are recognised as operating leases.

Impairment of non-financial assets Impairment testing on goodwill is based on calculations of the value in use that uses the discounted cash flows model. The cash flows are based on the estimated results for the next five years. The recoverable value of the goodwill is sensitive to the discount rate complying with the cash flows considered and the projected growth rates. The valuation has been performed using the value in use criteria on the cash-generating units affected by the goodwill, using a discount rate of 7.09%.

Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised by the Group for all those unused tax loss carryforwards which are expected to be recovered against future profits. Therefore, the management bases this criterion on assessments and estimates of future results, the schedule for obtaining profit and the expiry of tax credits and future tax planning strategies. Note 15 shows the breakdown of the capitalised and uncapitalised tax bases.

Long-term commitments with employees At the date of the balance sheet, the amount of labour contingencies related to defined benefit commitments is determined using actuarial calculations. The actuarial calculations are based on a series of assessments and hypotheses which are detailed in Note 14.

Provisions The amount of provisions recognised in the liabilities side of the balance sheet are based on assessments made by the Group’s management and in accordance with advice given by attorneys and external advisors. The value of these provisions can vary depending on new evidence obtained in the future and on the discount rates used to determine the present value of these commitments.

Onerous contracts Provisions for onerous contracts arise from various rental and management contracts guaranteed in Spain. Said provisions have been calculated by updating the cash flows estimated by the Group and assessing the lowest cost possible of the various exit alternatives for each of the contracts In order to perform the cash flow updates a discount rate of 7.09% has been used.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

Impairment of assets The Group recognises impairment losses as long as their recoverable amount has fallen below their carrying value. The recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. The fair value less cost to sell is based on information available on transactions in similar active market conditions or observable market values less cost to sell. The value in use is based on the cash flow discount model which is based on estimated results projections and the application of an estimated discount rate. In order to determine the recoverable value of the hotels in Spain, in 2011 the Group has requested appraisals from the independent experts Arco Valoraciones and Euroval. For the valuation the cash flow discount was performed using a discount rate of between 8.01% and 7.92%, respectively and applying the sector’s estimated growth rates. The impairment tests performed by the Group for the hotels in Spain have been undertaken by updating the cash flows expected for the next five years applying a discount rate of 7.09% plus a residual value calculated as a perpetual rent applying a perpetuity or growth rate of 1.9%. For the hotels in the United States, a discount rate of 8.90% has been applied. Real estate indicators were used to determine the recoverable value of certain hotels. The valuation criteria were as follows: • Buildings were valued using the net replacement value method, applying the prices established by the schools of architecture located in the area of each hotel adjusted by a maintenance coefficient. • The land was valued taking into account its development category and use and applying market prices. The estimates made and the methodology used can have a significant impact on the valuation of the assets.

2.22

Non-refundable grants

Monetary grants are valued at the fair value of the amount granted. They are recognised as income depending on the estimated useful life of the asset for which the grant has been received.

2.23

Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current

Assets and liabilities are presented in the balance sheet as current or non-current. For this purpose, assets and liabilities are classified as current when they are expected to be sold, consumed, realised or settled during said cycle, their maturity, sale or realization is expected to occur within the maximum term of one year or they are maintained for negotiations or are cash or cash equivalents whose use is not restricted for a period of more than one year. On the contrary, they are classified as non-current assets or liabilities.

2.24

Severance pay

In accordance with prevailing labour regulations, the Group is obliged to compensate those employees whose services are ceased under certain circumstances. Severance pay which is reasonably quantifiable is recognised as an expense for the year in which it is justifiably expected by the Group before the affected third parties.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

Changes in the consolidation perimeter

In January 2011, the sale of the Hotel Casablanca and the company Actif Hotel, S.A. which are both in Morocco was formalised for an amount of 13.1 million euros. In October 2011, the company Centre de Congressos Internacional de Palma, S. A. was dissolved and liquidated. In October 2011, the company Travelsens, S.L, was constituted. This company is a tour operator in the Travel Division. In 2011, the company Viajes Barceló Internacional, SA de CV was dissolved. This company was a travel agency located in Mexico. As of the date on which the decision was made to sell the participations in the associated companies Playa Hotels & Resorts, S.L. and Sky Morocco Hospitality SAS (April and December 2011, respectively), they have been transferred to non-current assets held for sale (See Note 9). As of said dates, the results for these companies are not included in the Group’s income statement. Instead, they are valued as explained in Note 2.15. The changes in the 2010 perimeter are shown for comparison purposes. During 2010 the following companies were dissolved: • • •

Barceló Front Marítim S.L. Barceló Gestión Hotelera Canaria, S.L. Barceló Internet, S.L.

During 2010, the following companies were sold: • •

Viajes Verger S.L. Group’s participation in the UTE Barceló Sampol Barajas (Temporary Consortium).

An amount of 0.3 million euros for the sale of Viajes Verger, S.L. was reclassified from conversion differences in equity to results for the year. The sale amounted to 0.8 million euros, 0.4 million euros of which were collected in 2010, obtaining a profit from the sale amounting to 0.3 million euros. In June 2010, 56% of the share capital of the company Barceló-WRS Spain, S.L. was acquired. A further 8% of Mundosocial, Mundosenior and Novotours was acquired for an amount of 8.7 million euros. As these companies are jointly managed, they are proportionally integrated. The difference between the price paid and the percentage of net assets at fair value acquired has amounted to 6.9 million euros all of which was allocated to goodwill in 2009. The remainder was allocated in 2010.

All of the goodwill relates to the Travel Division. The goodwill additions mainly arise from the participation in Barceló-WRS Spain, S.L., which amounts to 1,756,000 euros, for the allocation of the definitive cost of the business combination. The impairment test on the goodwill of the Travel Division has been performed by updating the cash flow estimated for five years, with an annual growth rate of 3%. A discount rate of 7.09% has been applied and a sensitivity analysis has been performed. Throughout its history in the hotel and travel agency sectors, the Group has developed a significant management model called “Barceló” and “Best Practices”. This Know-How constitutes a significant combination of knowledge, technical information, experts’ testimonies, skills and secret procedures which allow the improvement of the hotels operating processes, IT systems, resource management and quality and environmental systems, optimising results. No amount is recognised in the annual accounts for this concept.

The Barceló Group subscribed an amount of 9.1 million USD. Maturity is in June 2020, but the debt can be amortised in advance between January 2012 and June 2020. The loan accrues interest at an annual interest rate of 15% and is exchangeable for shares at any time for a predetermined exercise price. The value of the swap option is difficult to quantify since the shares of this company are not quoted on the stock exchange. Nonetheless, the Group’s management considers that the fair value is insignificant. The Group has no intention of exercising the swap option and plans to collect the credit on maturity. In the balance with Playa Hotels & Resorts, S.L., which matures in May 2013, 4.9 million euros have been transferred from short-term to long-term.

Long-term guarantees and deposits The long-term guarantees and deposits primarily relate to the lease agreements for the leased hotels. Their fair value is similar to the accounting cost.

Available-for-sale assets The balance of available-for-sale financial assets is mainly made up of: a) The participation of 15% in the company Punta Umbría Turística, S.A., with registered address in Huelva, Spain, for an amount of 11.2 million euros (10.8 million euros in 2010), acquired in 2008. This company is the owner of Barceló Punta Umbría Resort. The Group has no significant influence in this company. This participation has been valued taking into account an agreed sales price in two years time for an amount of 12 million euros. b) The shareholding in Rey Sol, S.A., where the Group’s influence is not relevant, has been measured at the value of the sale option owned by the Group. In 2011, the sale option over Rey Sol, S.A. owned by the Group in 2010 has been cancelled. For this redemption the Group has received an amount of 1.6 million euros in January 2012. A new sale option, exercisable in 2015, was immediately formulated. The fair value of the sale option amounted to 1.8 million euros.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

c) A 0.5% participation in the company World Retail Store, S.L., for an amount of 1 million euros.

Derivatives The derivatives balance is mainly made up of the valuation of the put option of the participation in the company American Express Barceló Viajes, S.L. for an amount of 9.1 million euros (9.1 million in 2010). In order to value this put option, its sale in 6 years time has been considered for an amount of 20 million euros at a discount rate of 6%. The investment and the derivative on this company are considered to be a hybrid instrument for which, on one hand the equity method is recorded on the 35% participation in American Express Barceló Viajes, S.L., arising from the significant influence in said company, and on the other, the derivative is valued for the difference between the value of the equity method (see Note 7), which is equal to fair value at closing and the present value to exercise the option with the abovementioned hypothesis.

Loans to third parties The loans to third parties balance corresponds to a credit line granted to the company Punta Umbría Turística, S.A. which owns a hotel for which the Group has signed a management contract with the acquired commitment of covering the cash shortages of this company with the guarantee of the hotel owned by the Company. The credit line matures in the long-term and its maturity will coincide with the sale date of the hotel or the end of the management contract. Interest is accrued at a market rate.

The Group has contracted hedge derivatives (interest rate swaps) in euros and in USD with a notional value, at December 31, 2011, of 311.7 million euros and 134.7 million US dollars, respectively. The maturity of said contracts ranges between August 2014 and October 2020 and the fixed interest rate contracted ranges between 1.95% and 2.98% on the Euribor and 2.95% on the Libor.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

The Group has contracted a derivative according to which, if the Euribor at 12 months exceeds 5%, the Group will pay the bank the difference between the Euribor and 3.08%, on an initial notional value of 88.8 million euros, which would be decreased annually until maturity in October 2020. The fair value at December 31, 2011, is negative for the Group for an amount of one million euros. This amount has been carried to results as it cannot be considered as a hedge derivative. The breakdown of the maturity of the notional amounts is as follows:

The Group has recognised hedge derivatives at fair value through equity. Non-hedge derivatives have been recognised at fair value through results. In both cases the cash flow discount method has been used. In 2011, an amount of 0.8 million euros has been recognised under the finance expenses heading of the income statement for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adjustments for the change in value of non-hedge derivativesâ&#x20AC;? (2.9 million euros in 2010) and an amount of 0.8 million euros has been recognised as finance income for the change in value of hedge derivatives. The amount recognised against equity for the variation of the fair value of the hedge instruments has been of 7.0 million euros (5.9 million in 2010). The Group classifies the valuations at fair value using a hierarchy reflecting the relevancy of the variables used in the valuations, according to the following levels: a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1). b) Variables different to the quoted prices included in Level 1 which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. such as prices) or indirectly (i.e. arising from the prices) (Level 2), and c) Variables, used for the asset or liability, which are not based on observable market data (non-observable variables) (Level 3).

14.1.1 Commitments with employees The provision for loyalty premiums covers the liabilities accrued for these commitments according to certain collective labour agreements applicable to the hotel and travel agencies sectors in Spain. Loyalty Premium in Spain: In accordance with the prevailing collective labour agreement conditions applying to the hotel industry in Spain, the Group companies dedicated to said industry in Spain are obliged to pay retirement premiums to those employees who have been in the Group for a certain number of years. These premiums depend on the number of years of service and the age of the employee upon retirement and are calculated based on each employee’s basic salary and supplementary payments. The travel agencies collective labour agreement in Spain, also establishes the payment of a retirement premium after an agreement between the employee and the company. During 2011 and 2010 the necessary provisions for this concept have been made according to the corresponding collective labour agreement. The liabilities accrued for these defined benefit plan are measured according to an actuarial study. During 2011 and 2010 the provision has been calculated by applying the “Projected Unit Credit” calculation method based on the PER2000 table, applying an interest rate of 4.0%, a salary increase of 2.5% and the hypothesis of staff rotation. The net variation of the loyalty premiums provision is included under the personnel expenses heading in the income statement. Said provision has no financial effect since there have been no variations in this variable of the loyalty premium calculation.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

Loyalty Premium in Mexico: The seniority premium is an obligation established by the Mexican Federal Labour Law. The liabilities related to this defined benefit plan are measured according to an actuarial study. In 2011 and 2010 the Mexican seniority premium has been calculated by applying the OP84 mortality table, applying a discount rate of 7.60% with a salary increase of 5.04%. No accounting provision exists for this commitment since it is insignificant at year end closing.

Other defined contribution commitments

Long-term remunerations for business executives in the USA The subsidiary Barceló Crestline has established a Long-term Incentive Plan for executives who meet certain conditions. The Plan is discretionary and can be modified and/or cancelled by the Board of Directors at any time. For this reason, the amount for this concept is defined and not based on actuarial studies. Contributions recorded for this concept have amounted to 0.8 million USD and 0.7 million USD for the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amount to be paid in the short-term is of 0.8 million USD (0.7 million USD in 2010) and is included under the “Remunerations pending payment” caption in the current liabilities side of the balance sheet. The amount to be paid in the long-term, of 1.5 million USD (1.4 million USD in 2010) is recorded under “Other non-current liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Said plan was created in 2004 with the following breakdown of provisions (figures in thousands of USD):

This same company has also approved retirement and savings plans and other retribution plans for employees who meet certain requirements. The plans generally require a determined minimum of contributions from the employees plus an additional contribution defined on a yearly basis by Barceló Crestline. The costs incurred by Barceló Crestline for these plans amounted to 0.13 million USD and 0.15 million USD for the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Finally, Barceló Crestline has an executive plan intended to grant additional benefits upon retirement for a select group of Barceló Crestline’s management who have the possibility of partially or totally deferring such benefits. The amounts contributed to these plans by Barceló Crestline and the participants, together with the profit and losses attributed to said amounts are transferred to a trust. The sole owner of this trust is Barceló Crestline, upon demand of the creditors of Barceló Crestline, until the payment to the participant employee or his/her beneficiary is made. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the amount payable for this plan was equivalent to the assets of said plan owned by Barceló Crestline. The amount deposited is recorded under the “Other non-current financial assets” and “Other non-current liabilities” captions. Pension plans for employees in the United Kingdom The United Kingdom only has defined contribution plans. The amount incurred for this concept in 2011 amounts to 96 thousand GBP (96 thousand GBP in 2010).

14.1.2 Provisions for liabilities Provisions for liabilities cover all types of risks and contingencies arising from the Group’s operations. They mainly cover the potential repayment of grants.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

14.1.3 Onerous contracts The provisions for onerous contracts derive from various rental agreements in Spain. In 2010, the rental agreements of the hotels in the USA were also included. These contracts have ended in 2011. Said provisions are calculated by updating the cash flow estimated by the Group and measuring the lowest possible cost among the various exit alternatives for each of the contracts. The cash flow updating is performed by using a discount rate of 7.09% (in 2010 between 8.14% and 9.12%). Additions in 2011 relate to hotels in Spain. In 2010, due to changes in the future cash flow estimates in accordance with the new contract conditions and the market trend, provisions for onerous contracts were withdrawn, including the contract for a hotel in Spain for an amount of 24 million euros. Additions in 2010 related to the update of the onerous contracts of three hotels located in Spain due to the variation of the expected results.

14.2

Short-term provisions

The balance of provisions as of December 31, 2011, amounts to 2,394,589 euros and relates to the short-term portion of the onerous contracts (5,957,407 euros at December 31, 2010).

Barcel贸 2011 Annual Report

Taxes

The companies are obliged to file Corporation Tax declarations annually. In 2011, the Spanish companies’ profits, determined in accordance with tax legislation, are subject to a 30% tax rate. The remaining Group companies are subject to tax rates ranging between 19% and 40%, except those companies based in Switzerland whose applicable tax rate is 8%. Certain deductions may be made from the resulting tax basis. Since January 1, 2008, certain Spanish Group companies file consolidated tax returns in respect of Corporate Income Tax. As provided by the tax consolidation regime, the taxable basis of the tax group is not based on the consolidated accounting results, but the results of each of the companies integrated in said group, determined according to the individual tax regime. Results arising from internal transactions which are integrated in said individual taxable basis are eliminated and those eliminated in prior years which are considered to be realised by the group during the tax period are included. The Spanish Group companies have tax losses to be offset against future tax credits amounting to 380.8 million euros. Of said amount, 1.3 million euros of losses expire in the period from 2015 to 2017, 14.3 million euros expire between 2018 and 2020, 110.8 million euros expire between 2021 and 2023, 215.7 million expire between 2024 and 2026 and 38.6 million euros expire between 2027 and 2030. At December 31, 2011, of this amount tax losses capitalised amount to 156 million euros and the corresponding deferred tax asset amounts to 46.8 million euros. The recovery of the remainder of the tax losses is considered unlikely before the permitted period expires. In addition, there are various deductions pending application by the Spanish Group companies, generated in prior years and during 2011, for a total amount of 8.9 million euros, according to the following detail: •

Deductions for double taxation: 3.3 million euros for which the last year of prescription is 2021.

•

Other deductions: 5.5 million euros of which: 1,5 million euros relate to a deduction for reinvestment of extraordinary profits corresponding to Barceló Hoteles Mediterráneo, S.L., which will prescribe in 2016; 2.5 million euros relate to a deduction for fixed assets in the Canary Islands for which the last year of prescription is 2016; 0.6 million euros relate to a deduction for technological innovation, for which the last year of prescription is 2026, and 0.9 million euros relating to the remaining deductions.

At December 31, 2011, of the total deductions pending application, an amount of 8.8 million euros has been recorded as deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2011, the Group company Barceló Hotels Canarias, S.L. has certain investment commitments for the forthcoming years, amounting to 5.4 million euros which derive from the application of the Reserve for Investments in the Canary Islands stated by Law 19/1994 on Investments in the Canary Islands. The Group’s foreign subsidiaries in the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico and Germany have significant tax losses or deductions pending application. The details of the tax situation in said countries are as follows. In the Dominican Republic, the Group companies are subject to the higher of two taxes: (i) Tax on Assets, the rate of which is 1%, for which all assets are taken into account less equity investments, prepaid taxes and rural properties and (ii) Income Tax, which is calculated on the tax profit based on the accounting results with certain adjustments arising from different accounting and tax criteria, at 29% (25% in 2010). The Group companies domiciled in the Dominican Republic have had a provision for expenses in concept of Tax on Assets amounting to 1.8 million euros in 2011. In 2011, the Group companies with registered address Mexico are subject to (i) IETU, the Mexican Flat Tax, on revenues reduced by certain deductions and credits at 17.5% and (ii) Income Tax, on the accounting results adjusted by the inflationary effects with respect to cash assets and liabilities and depreciation, at 30%. IETU is a Minimum Tax against which the Income Tax is creditable and the taxpayers pay the higher of Income Tax or the IETU tax. Tax losses from previous years pending offset amount to 3.3 million euros. All tax losses have been capitalised. The compensation period is of ten years subsequent to the generation of the tax losses.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

In the USA, the Group companies are subject to the Corporate Income Tax, at a 40% rate on tax profit, according to the applicable tax legislation. In 2010, tax losses amounting to 18.8 million euros โ between ordinary losses and capital losses, which can be compensated with future profits over the next twenty years. The majority of the operating losses (approximately 13 million euros) have been capitalised. The Group companies located in the United Kingdom are subject to Corporate Income Tax, at 26% according to the tax legislation. Up to and including 2011, losses amount to 28 million euros, which can be compensated with future profit. There is no time limit for their compensation. The losses in 2011 have not resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset. In Germany, tax losses which are eligible for compensation in future years amount to 7.7 million euros. These losses have no time limit for their compensation; in 2011, the losses have resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset for an amount of 0.26 million euros. Those tax losses and deductions whose recovery is probable have been capitalised. In accordance with the legal regulations prevailing in Spain, tax returns cannot be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or the four-year inspection period has elapsed. At December 31, 2011, the Spanish Group companies are open to inspection for all applicable taxes since January, 1, 2008, with the exception of Corporation Tax, for which it is open to inspection since January 1, 2007.

The “Onerous contracts” caption corresponds to those costs which exceed the economic profit expected from such contracts. The tax expense will be realised in the fiscal year in which the loss is materialised. The impairment of both assets and liabilities for equity instruments relates to Spanish companies, and arises from the different tax and accounting criteria used for the recognition of the impairment in the participation in subsidiaries which are not included in the consolidated tax declaration, and in the case of the assets, that the subsidiary does not any tax credits capitalised by tax losses. The “Intangible Assets” caption mainly relates to the leasehold interest on the Hotel Barceló Sants, allocated through a business combination previous to the transition date to IFRS to the rights over the hotel management contracts in the United States. Deferred tax liabilities for “Property, Plant and Equipment” correspond to the recognition at fair value of property, plant and equipment acquired through business combinations and at the deemed cost of certain plots of land owned by the Group at the transition date.

In Spain the Group has 18 hotels leased under contracts maturing between 2016 and 2057 including all possible extensions contained in the contracts. The majority of rental expenses are reviewed on an annual basis depending on the CPI and certain hotels have variable rental clauses linked to the EBITDA generated by the hotels. In Germany the Group has leased a hotel. The lease matures in 2027, although the contract can be unilaterally terminated as of December 31, 2014. The rent consists of a fixed minimum amount plus a percentage of the hotel’s EBITDA which varies depending on the year and the compliance of certain conditions. The Group has lease contracts on 3 hotels in Turkey with maturity between 2016 and 2020. The rent is fixed and pre-established. The Group has leased a hotel in Egypt with a contact which matures in 2024. The Group has lease contracts on 20 hotel establishments in the UK. Said contracts mature in 2042, although the possibility of terminating the contracts exists in 2017 under certain conditions. Barceló also has a call option on said assets. At the end of 2011, the Group has begun negotiating with the owners of the hotels in the UK in order to improve the economic conditions of the lease contract. At the formulation date of these annual accounts, no definitive agreement has been reached, although the lessor has accepted a temporary reduction in the rent during the negotiation period.

Leases in the USA Subleases with Host Marriot Corporation (“Host”): Host has subleased 71 limited service hotels under the brands Residence Inn and Courtyard by Marriott (Host-HTPs) to Hospitality Properties Trust, Inc (“HPT”). The “Host-HTP leases” were in effect until 2012, in the case of the Courtyard and until 2010 in the case of the Residence Inn. Barceló Crestline and subsidiaries, a Group subsidiary, established the sublease contracts with Host, effective as of January 1, 1999, for these limited service hotels (“the subleases”).

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

On June 6, 2010, Host cancelled the sublease contract alleging that the Group had breached the equity commitment. In February 2011, Host sent a letter demanding the payment of the unpaid rent and other amounts related to the cancellation of the contract, alleging that the initial demand notes for 30 million USD are completely available in order to pay these amounts. Crestline maintained that its obligations are limited to the deposits and assets in the subleased companies. Following the cancellation of the contract, the subleased companies’ accounts held an amount of 0.4 million USD in cash and a rental guarantee for an amount of 2.6 million USD. Said amounts have been completely impaired. Moreover, a balance of 2.4 million USD was maintained under liabilities as a guarantee for future payments related to this contract. During 2011, Crestline has made the payment to Host for the amount of 2.4 million USD provided for in 2009 as a guarantee of future payments, as well as a cash payment of 0.4 million USD held by the sub-lessees. On December 30, 2011, an agreement has been reached by virtue of which the Host’s claim against Crestline is considered to be settled. This agreement finalises the sublease contract and frees both parties from any further claims relating to this contract. This agreement establishes the payment of 6 million USD by Crestline in a two-year period and ensures the management of two hotels by Crestline. The payment, to be made in 2013, amounts to 1 million USD with the present calculation hypothesis, although the variation in the hypothesis could result in a payment of between 1 and 3 million USD. Limited service hotels subleases with HPT: On June 9, 2000, a subsidiary of Barceló Crestline subscribed a lease agreement with HPT for 19 limited service hotels under long-term lease agreements. HPT acquired the hotels from Marriott International, which is still managing the hotels under long-term management agreements held with Barceló Crestline. The hotels were operated under the brands Courtyard by Marriott, Residence Inn, Spring Hill Suites by Marriott and Towne Place Suites by Marriott. In 2011 HPT notified of the voluntary termination of the lease contract. Georgia Tech and Barceló’s Headquarters in the USA In October, 2001, Barceló Crestline signed an operating lease agreement for the Georgia Tech Hotel and the Convention Center which opened in August, 2003. The initial lease period is 30 years, renewable for 10 years. By virtue of this agreement, Barceló Crestline has to pay a rent equivalent to: i) a minimum fixed rent plus ii) an additional rent based on a determined percentage of revenues as long as certain income thresholds are surpassed. Barceló Crestline also guarantees fixed revenues up to a total of 8.2 million USD. In addition, the Company signed an operating lease agreement on its headquarters until April 2013 which establishes monthly instalments with a tiered annual increase of 4%. The contract contains an option for the renewal of two 5-year periods. Penalties have been established in the case that these renewal options are not exercised. An operating lease contract has also been signed for the offices in the Hotel Virginia Beach until 2017. The future obligations for minimum rental payments for these office contracts, the rental of the Georgia Tech Hotel and the Convention Center at December 31, 2011, are as follows:

Financial risk management policies and objectives

During the ordinary course of the business, the Company is exposed to the credit risk, interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and liquidity risk. The main financial risks to which the Group is exposed are the interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. The Group management reviews and authorises the risk management policies, as explained below:

Credit risk: Most of the financial instruments exposed to the credit risk relate to the balances receivable from clients. Such accounts receivable are generated by the sale of services to clients. The Group’s policies intend to mitigate this risk by establishing a credit limit based on the client’s volume and credit quality. The approval of the managers of each hotel and each travel agency is required in order to increase the initially established credit. Periodically, each hotel reviews the debt seniority and those balances which are doubtful. The Company maintains a provision for potential losses based on the assessment by the management of the client’s financial position, historical payment data and debt seniority. Historically, losses deriving from this risk are within the range expected by the managers, which is not relevant. Moreover, in order to minimise a possible negative influence from the payment behaviour of our debtors, the Group has subscribed credit insurance policies which render prevention services. In order to grant such insurance, the insurance company performs a solvency study of the clients and if the cover is accepted, guarantees the collection of the insured credit if it is unpaid. The insurance company deals with the collection management and if the process is unsuccessful will pay the indemnity within the predetermined period. Currently, there are no significant risk concentrations. The Company’s maximum exposure to risk is the carrying value. With regard to the credit risk deriving from other financial assets, which include cash balances and short-term deposits, such credit risk arises from the failure of a counterparty (financial entities) with a maximum risk equivalent to the carrying value of said instruments included under the headings of “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Other current financial assets”, for an amount of 367.4 million euros in 2010 (381.6 million euros in 2010). The balance of the provision for insolvencies at December 31, 2011, amounted to 22.4 million euros. At December 31, 2010, the balance amounted to 16.3 million euros. Provisions from the accounts receivable balance charged in have amounted to 2.2 million euros. The age of the debtor balances overdue at year end are as follows:

2011 Less than 90 days More than 90 days and less than 180

2010 27,516

19,943

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

Market risk Interest rate risk: The risk of changes in the market interest rates mainly have an effect on the debt contracted at variable interest rate. At December 31, in the case that the existing interest rates in the period were 50 basic points lower, with all other variables held constant, profit before taxes for the year would have been increased by 3,062 thousand euros. On the contrary, in the case that the variable interest rate was 50 basic points over the existing ones, with all other variables held constant, profit before taxes would have been decreased by 3,062 thousand euros. At December 31, 2010, in the case that the existing interest rates in the period were 50 basic points lower, with all other variables held constant, profit before taxes for the year would have been increased by 3,462 thousand euros. On the contrary, in the case that the variable interest rate was 50 basic points over the existing ones, with all other variables held constant, profit before taxes would have been decreased by 3,462 thousand euros. The Group has signed interest rate hedge contracts to cover the fluctuation of the Libor and the Euribor. See Note 8.5.

Exchange rate risk: As the Group has a great volume of investments in hotels located abroad, the consolidated results could be affected by the fluctuations in the exchange rates. The interest generated by the indebtedness is denominated in a currency which is similar to that generated by the cash flows from the hotel operations, basically the euro, in such way that it is considered a hedge for costs deriving from borrowings, sales and purchases. The income statements of the hotels located in countries where the local currency is not the euro are affected by the exchange rates in respect of the USD and the euro. The analysis of sensitivity for the years 2011 and 2010 on the income statement is based on the results before taxes in the local currency of the most relevant countries by volume of business, calculating the net effect of a variation of 5% and 10% (both up and down) in respect of each currency.

Liquidity risk: The Group manages its exposure to liquidity risk ensuring the permanent liquidity availability to meet its payment obligations under ordinary business activity, without incurring unacceptable losses which might deteriorate the Company’s reputation.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

The Group reviews its liquidity requirements according to the cash budgets, taking into account the maturity dates of the balances payable and receivable and the projected cash flows. In general, the Group has sufficient liquidity to cover the operational cost deriving from the clients’ hotel stays, including debt servicing; but excluding the impact caused by extreme circumstances which cannot be reasonably anticipated, such as natural disasters. At December 31, 2011, the Group’s consolidated balance sheet presents positive working capital amounting to 61.3 million euros (125.6 million euros at December 31, 2010).

Capital management The Group manages its capital maintaining an adequate indebtedness ratio which ensures financial stability and looking for investments with optimal profitability rates with the aim of generating a greater stability and profitability for the Group. As can be observed in the balance sheet, most of the debt is recorded in the long-term. These ratios show that capital management follows certain prudent valuation criteria since the cash flows expected for the forthcoming years and the Group’s equity situation will cover the debt service.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

Contingent assets and liabilities

The Group has granted a put option to the company Playa Hotels & Resorts, S.L. Playa Hotels & Resorts, S.L. (Playa) on the shares of three hotel properties. If Barceló or Playa do not find a buyer for these companies, Playa can exercise said put option on May 31, 2013 for an amount of 230 million USD plus the working capital of the three companies. In December 2011, the exercise term of this put option has been extended from October 2011 to May 2013 and Barceló guarantees that the operating result of these three hotels managed by the Group will reach a minimum amount which will allow the three owner companies to cover all of the expenses related to the ownership and operation of said hotels. Barceló also guarantees the bank debts of these three companies for an amount equal to the option’s exercise price. The Group measures this option at its acquisition cost which is zero, since, due to its conditions and characteristics, the option is on non-financial assets and is not included in the scope of IAS 39 in order to be measured at fair value, although this value is also closet o zero. The company Royal Mediterránea, S.A., in which the Group holds a minority participation, has a loan on which the Group has granted a guarantee for an amount of 15 million euros. A hotel owned by the Group is affected by the process to regularise the zoning status of the Marbella Town Council. Since the change in the General Plan for Urban Zoning (PGOU) initially legalises the hotel’s status, the execution of previous rulings is not considered possible. Moreover, the Group has certain lawsuits open, from which it is expected that no loss or liability might arise against the Group.

Barceló 2011 Annual Report

Consolidated Management Report

Barcel贸 Informe de Gesti贸n 2011

During 2011, the Barceló Group has obtained a consolidated net profit of 1.5 million euros. The Profit before taxes, without taking into account the impairment of assets (mainly originating in the United Kingdom), amounts to 14.7 million euros, representing a 23% improvement in comparison to 2010. In 2011, all commitments with financial entities have been fulfilled regarding the payment of interest and the amortisation of principal. Working capital in 2011 amounts to 61.3 million euros.

1 1.1

Relevant matters with regard to 2011 Hotel activity

In 2011, the Group has managed a total of 42,152 rooms in 155 hotels located in Latin America, the United States, Europe and North Africa. Of the total number of rooms, the Group owns 15,208, manages 18,551 and rents 8,393 rooms. The most relevant investment undertaken in 2011 is the renovation of the Bávaro complex in the Dominican Republic with an investment of more than 50 million euros. At the end of 2011, the Bávaro complex is now completely reformed and operational. As well as this investment, the Barceló Group has acquired a hotel in Brno (Czech Republic), has completed the work on a new hotel in Hamburg which has been inaugurated in March 2012 and has continued renovating hotels in order to improve the standard of quality and to be able to offer more modern, comfortable and environmentallyfriendly establishments to our clients. In Europe and North Africa occupancy has been 69.3%, which is a 5.3% improvement on last year and the total Revpar has been 74.1 euros, which is a 6.6% rise in comparison to 2010. In Latin America occupancy has been 70.8% which is a 4.3% improvement on last year and the total Revpar has been 105 USD, representing a 12.6% rise in comparison to 2010. In the USA we have had an average occupancy of 67.5% which is a rise of 2.6% with regard to the previous year and the total Revpar has been 118.6 USD representing a 4.9% with regard to 2010.

1.2

Activity of the Travel Division

The Group has more than 300 travel agencies, including self-owned and franchised agencies, as well as a 35% participation in a Joint Venture with American Express for jointly managing the corporate travel business. In 2011, the new tour operator division has been created. This division is made up of two general tour operators, Quelónea and Jolidey, and a tour operator for long-distance travel, called Lacuartaisla. This specialist tour operator will begin to operate in the first quarter of 2012 and the other two will begin operating in the summer of 2012. In 2011, gross turnover has been of 371 million euros (excluding sales by American Express/Barceló Viajes).

Barceló Informe de Gestión 2011

The main brand names under which the Travel Division carries out its activity are the following:

• • •

Barceló Viajes American Express-Barceló Viajes Vacaciones Barceló (in Latin America)

The Travel Division is continuing with its strategy of specialising and differentiating the brand, which is generating very positive results.

93 2

Consolidated results for the year

The Group’s consolidated Net Profit has been positive for an amount of 1.5 million euros. The Consolidated result before tax amounts to 2.9 million euros in comparison to 11.9 million euros in 2010. This decrease is mainly due to the impairment of assets recognised in 2011 for an amount of 11.8 million euros. For comparative purposes, excluding impairment, the Consolidated result before tax in 2011 amounts to 14.7 million euros in comparison to 11.9 million euros in 2010, representing an increase of 23.5%. Operating Income amounts to 816 million euros. It is worth noting that in the middle of 2011 and 2010, the lease and sublease contracts of the hotels in the USA have ended (see Note 21). This means that the operating income figure is not comparative since, in 2010, the total annual income from the lease contracts and half a year’s income from the subleases were recognised, whereas in 2011 only six months of income for the lease contracts have been recognised. For comparative purposes, without taking into account the income arising from these contracts, the Operating Income in 2011 amounts to 790.2 million euros in comparison with 759.2 million euros in 2010, representing an increase of 4.1%. In 2011 we would like to highlight the new investments and improvements which have been undertaken in the Hotel Division (over 138 million euros). We are certain that these improvements will generate more positive results in forthcoming years. In 2011 we also disposed of hotels for an amount of 14 million euros. A strong point on the consolidated balance sheet is the cash position (positive working capital amounting to 61.3 million euros) which allows the 2012 commitments to be easily fulfilled and the renovation projects in our hotels to be undertaken. The financial risk management objectives and policies are explained in Note 22 of the consolidated annual accounts.

Forecast for 2012

For this year we foresee an improvement in all the geographical areas where we are present. The data relating to the first months of 2012 are showing a tendency of improvement in occupancy, rates and Revpar for the whole year. The aim for 2012 is to reach an Ebitda of around 164.4 million euros and a net profit of 12.5 million euros. During the month of January we have sold our participation in the Sky Morocco Hospitality SAS fund, recovering the investment made. Moreover, we plan to dispose of various non-strategic assets with the aim of reducing our debt. The strong position of our Balance Sheet will allow us to access interesting investment projects and the possibility of working in other hotels on a lease and/or management basis.

Other information

Neither the subsidiaries nor the Parent Company have any treasury stock or shares in their Parent Company, nor did they undertake any research and development activity in 2011. Except for those mentioned in the annual accounts, no events which might affect the 2011 accompanying consolidated annual accounts have taken place subsequent to year-end.
