Recent financial performance
Between 2014 and 2017 IHI experienced a significant period of growth. In 2014 Gross Operating Profits from IHI’s owned and managed hotels stood at over €50 million; in 2017 GOP was recorded at €97 million. The story of IHI’s EBTIDA over the same period is equally impressive. In 2014 IHI’s EBTIDA stood at €33.3 million. In 2017 this figure had increased to about €64 million. The EBTIDA calculation reflects IHI’s direct share of profits from hotels in its portfolio, real estate developments and rentals, share of income from catering businesses, and the allocation of company costs such as property taxes, exchange rate losses/gains and central costs.
