33. Events after the reporting period
On 16 January 2015, the Group completed the acquisition of Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group, LLC (‘Kimpton’), an unlisted company
based in the US, for $430m paid in cash. Kimpton is the world’s largest independent boutique hotel operator which, together with IHG’s
Hotel Indigo and EVEN brands, creates a leading boutique and lifestyle hotel business.
The assets and liabilities acquired largely comprise intangible assets, being the Kimpton brand and management contracts, deferred tax
assets and goodwill. Due to the close proximity of the acquisition date to the date of these financial statements, the initial accounting for
the business combination is incomplete and the Group is unable to provide a quantication of the fair values of these assets. The fair value
exercise is ongoing and it is expected that the Group will include an acquisition balance sheet with its interim results for 2015.
Acquisition transaction costs of $7m were incurred in the year to 31 December 2014 (see note 5).
If the acquisition had taken place on 1 January 2014, it is estimated that Group revenue and Group EBITDA for the year ended
31 December 2014 would have been $37m and $20m higher respectively.
