阿麗拉、Destination、Joie de Vivre、Thompson 和tommie 將納入凱悅旗下，進一步擴展凱悅生活方式及健康休閑品牌，服務全球高端旅客
上海2018年10月9日電 /美通社/ -- 凱悅酒店集團 (紐約證券交易所代碼：H) 今日宣布，已達成協議收購 Two Roads Hospitality。Two Roads Hospitality 是一家業務遍布全球的生活方式酒店管理集團，在全球擁有一系列獨具特色的品牌、物業以及不斷發展的酒店項目。
通過此次收購，凱悅將納入Two Roads 及旗下著名的生活方式酒店品牌，以及8個國家85個物業當中大部分的管理合同。這意味著凱悅的品牌版圖將擴展至23個全新市場，同時將提供更為豐富的生活方式和健康休閑體驗。借助Two Roads及其旗下一系列充滿個性的生活方式酒店、度假村和度假公寓，凱悅將擁有陣容更強大、實力更雄厚的品牌組合，提供業內更優良的設施和服務，帶給客人和凱悅忠誠旅客計劃“凱悅天地”的會員更具吸引力的體驗和禮遇。本次收購還將進一步深化與酒店業主之間的關系，為股東帶來回報。
凱悅酒店集團總裁兼首席執行官馬赫瀾（Mark Hoplamazian）表示：“凱悅與Two Roads擁有同樣的信念：同樣致力于發揚關愛精神，并為追求生活品質的旅客提供與眾不同的體驗。我們很高興雙方能夠攜手共進，發揮各自優勢，實現共贏發展，更上層樓。Two Roads 擁有充滿熱情的工作團隊、實力雄厚的品牌背景、遍布全球的業務版圖以及雄心勃勃的酒店項目，將在我們的客人和凱悅天地會員渴望暢游的更多國家和地區，擴大凱悅的品牌版圖，進一步提供更多的生活方式以及健康體驗。更重要的是，憑借Two Roads 在亞洲地區出色的品牌表現及強勁發展潛力，并結合凱悅早已在業內奠定的領先地位，我們一定能夠在這個增長快速并至關重要的地區市場實現更大發展。”
此次收購包括4億8千萬美元的基礎交易價格，以及凱悅可能將在交易完成后需就個別界定的某些條款而額外投資1億2千萬美元。根據此次收購價格及額外投資費用預測，稅息折舊及攤銷前利潤（EBITDA）約為2021年預期利潤總額的12至13倍。凱悅認為，從預期的收購協同效應和業務增長來看，這是較佳估值指標。
凱悅此次選擇投資高增長潛力、低資本投入的平臺，貫徹了凱悅集團致力為股東創造較大價值的長線業務發展戰略，將使集團加快成為一個更加以管理運營費用驅動為主的企業。本次收購資金來自一項資產出售計劃的所得款項。在該項計劃中，資產平均以16.5 倍的EBITDA 售出。凱悅之所以選擇在今年進行投資，是因為凱悅承諾在2018 年通過股份回購和派發現金股息，給予股東約8 億美元的回報。
待此次交易預計在今年稍后完成后，凱悅將會創建專屬的生活方式酒店業務板塊，加快將Two Roads和凱悅的生活方式酒店品牌業務相結合。Two Roads Hospitality首席執行官Jamie Sabatier表示：“凱悅是Two Roads的較佳選擇，因為我們雙方擁有相同的價值觀，共同致力于以關愛社會為前提推動業務增長，并為客人創造愉快難忘的體驗。凱悅在業內擁有獨特地位且優勢明顯，既擁有遍布全球的龐大業務網絡，也能與酒店團隊成員、客人和酒店業主建立并保持真摯良好的關系。”
凱悅將通過2018年10月31日的第三季度財報，對外公布關于本次收購的更多信息，包括2019年盈利增長的初步估計。此外，凱悅還計劃于2019年將Two Roads品牌加入“凱悅天地”忠誠旅客計劃，增加會員賺取和兌換積分的機會，讓會員擁有更多的休閑住宿選擇。另一方面，該項計劃的會員都是集團的忠誠旅客，他們消費能力更強、入住天數更長，通常會直接訂房，因此酒店入住率也有望在明年繼續上漲。
高盛集團擔任凱悅的專屬財務顧問；Moelis & Company LLC為Two Roads Hospitality的專屬財務顧問；Latham & Watkins LLP 擔任凱悅的法律顧問; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP為 Two Roads Hospitality的法律顧問。
“凱悅”一詞在文中泛指凱悅酒店集團及一間或多間附屬公司。凱悅計劃將Two Roads的酒店物業加入“凱悅天地”忠誠旅客計劃。目前，這些酒店物業還未參與其中。
