阿丽拉、Destination、Joie de Vivre、Thompson 和tommie 将纳入凯悦旗下，进一步扩展凯悦生活方式及健康休闲品牌，服务全球高端旅客
上海2018年10月9日电 /美通社/ -- 凯悦酒店集团 (纽约证券交易所代码：H) 今日宣布，已达成协议收购 Two Roads Hospitality。Two Roads Hospitality 是一家业务遍布全球的生活方式酒店管理集团，在全球拥有一系列独具特色的品牌、物业以及不断发展的酒店项目。
通过此次收购，凯悦将纳入Two Roads 及旗下著名的生活方式酒店品牌，以及8个国家85个物业当中大部分的管理合同。这意味着凯悦的品牌版图将扩展至23个全新市场，同时将提供更为丰富的生活方式和健康休闲体验。借助Two Roads及其旗下一系列充满个性的生活方式酒店、度假村和度假公寓，凯悦将拥有阵容更强大、实力更雄厚的品牌组合，提供业内更优良的设施和服务，带给客人和凯悦忠诚旅客计划“凯悦天地”的会员更具吸引力的体验和礼遇。本次收购还将进一步深化与酒店业主之间的关系，为股东带来回报。
凯悦酒店集团总裁兼首席执行官马赫澜（Mark Hoplamazian）表示：“凯悦与Two Roads拥有同样的信念：同样致力于发扬关爱精神，并为追求生活品质的旅客提供与众不同的体验。我们很高兴双方能够携手共进，发挥各自优势，实现共赢发展，更上层楼。Two Roads 拥有充满热情的工作团队、实力雄厚的品牌背景、遍布全球的业务版图以及雄心勃勃的酒店项目，将在我们的客人和凯悦天地会员渴望畅游的更多国家和地区，扩大凯悦的品牌版图，进一步提供更多的生活方式以及健康体验。更重要的是，凭借Two Roads 在亚洲地区出色的品牌表现及强劲发展潜力，并结合凯悦早已在业内奠定的领先地位，我们一定能够在这个增长快速并至关重要的地区市场实现更大发展。”
此次收购包括4亿8千万美元的基础交易价格，以及凯悦可能将在交易完成后需就个别界定的某些条款而额外投资1亿2千万美元。根据此次收购价格及额外投资费用预测，税息折旧及摊销前利润（EBITDA）约为2021年预期利润总额的12至13倍。凯悦认为，从预期的收购协同效应和业务增长来看，这是较佳估值指标。
凯悦此次选择投资高增长潜力、低资本投入的平台，贯彻了凯悦集团致力为股东创造较大价值的长线业务发展战略，将使集团加快成为一个更加以管理运营费用驱动为主的企业。本次收购资金来自一项资产出售计划的所得款项。在该项计划中，资产平均以16.5 倍的EBITDA 售出。凯悦之所以选择在今年进行投资，是因为凯悦承诺在2018 年通过股份回购和派发现金股息，给予股东约8 亿美元的回报。
待此次交易预计在今年稍后完成后，凯悦将会创建专属的生活方式酒店业务板块，加快将Two Roads和凯悦的生活方式酒店品牌业务相结合。Two Roads Hospitality首席执行官Jamie Sabatier表示：“凯悦是Two Roads的较佳选择，因为我们双方拥有相同的价值观，共同致力于以关爱社会为前提推动业务增长，并为客人创造愉快难忘的体验。凯悦在业内拥有独特地位且优势明显，既拥有遍布全球的庞大业务网络，也能与酒店团队成员、客人和酒店业主建立并保持真挚良好的关系。”
凯悦将通过2018年10月31日的第三季度财报，对外公布关于本次收购的更多信息，包括2019年盈利增长的初步估计。此外，凯悦还计划于2019年将Two Roads品牌加入“凯悦天地”忠诚旅客计划，增加会员赚取和兑换积分的机会，让会员拥有更多的休闲住宿选择。另一方面，该项计划的会员都是集团的忠诚旅客，他们消费能力更强、入住天数更长，通常会直接订房，因此酒店入住率也有望在明年继续上涨。
高盛集团担任凯悦的专属财务顾问；Moelis & Company LLC为Two Roads Hospitality的专属财务顾问；Latham & Watkins LLP 担任凯悦的法律顾问; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP为 Two Roads Hospitality的法律顾问。
“凯悦”一词在文中泛指凯悦酒店集团及一间或多间附属公司。凯悦计划将Two Roads的酒店物业加入“凯悦天地”忠诚旅客计划。目前，这些酒店物业还未参与其中。
