Solid performances demonstrating the Group’s agility in a challenging global environment.
July 30, 2026
After a very strong start to fiscal year 2026, the conflict in the Middle East that erupted in late February created a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop in the second quarter. Activity in the region, particularly in the United Arab Emirates, was significantly affected, with the impact most visible in our Lifestyle segment.
However, the diversification of our hotel portfolio, both geographically and across segments, combined with strict cost discipline, helped sustain the Group’s growth momentum.
Once again this half-year, and despite the disruption caused by the situation in the Middle East, the Group delivered solid growth. This performance reflects the momentum in our key markets, the commitment of our teams, the strength of our brands, and our rigorous cost discipline. We focus on what we can control and on delivering the Group’s growth algorithm.
