FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Both the Annual Review and Summary Financial Statement 2005 and the
Annual Report and Financial Statements 2005 contain certain forward-looking
statements as defined under US legislation (Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) with respect to the financial condition, results of
operations and business of InterContinental Hotels Group and certain plans and
objectives of the Board of Directors of InterContinental Hotels Group with
respect thereto. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements
made in the Chairman’s Statement and the Chief Executive’s Review. These
forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate
only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words
such as ‘anticipate’, ‘target’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’,
or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions
and assessments made by InterContinental Hotels Group’s management in light
of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions,
expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.
By their nature, forward-looking statements are inherently predictive,
speculative and involve risk and uncertainty. There are a number of factors that
could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those
expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements, including, but not
limited to: the effect of political and economic developments; the risks involved
with the Group’s reliance on the reputation of its brands and protection of
intellectual property rights; the risks relating to identifying, securing and
retaining management and franchise agreements; the ability to recruit and
retain key personnel; the risks involved with the Group’s reliance on technologies
and systems and with developing and employing new technologies and systems;
the Group’s ability to maintain adequate insurance; the future balance between
supply and demand for the Group’s hotels; events that adversely impact
domestic or international travel, including terrorist incidents and epidemics such
as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS); increased use of intermediary
reservation channels; the lack of selected acquisition opportunities or the risks
of litigation; risks associated with the Group’s ability to borrow and satisfy debt
covenants; compliance with data privacy regulations; and risks associated with
funding the defined benefits under its pension schemes.
The main factors that could affect the business and financial results are
described in the Operating and Financial Review of the Annual Report and
Financial Statements 2005 and also in any Annual Report of InterContinental
Hotels Group PLC on Form 20-F for 2005 and for any subsequent year.
