2 SECOND MOTEL ONE OPENED IN LEIPZIG Framed by the Opera, the Nikolaikirche (St. Nicholas Church) and the University, and right in the historic heart of the city, the Motel One Leipzig-Augustusplatz is an ideal starting point for exploring Leipzig. On the ground floor of the building next to the reception there is also the One Bar. The first floor s spacious One Lounge welcomes guests with a panoramic view of the Nikolaikirche. The 180 room hotel was developed by commercial real estate specialist TLG and the end investor is the life insurance society ALTE LEIPZIGER. FIRST MOTEL ONE IN BREMEN CASTS OFF All hands on deck, cast off is the motto of the new Motel One in Bremen. The central hotel, located close to the old city, the pedestrian area and the Schlachte promenade on the River Weser, has 254 rooms and 55 basement parking spaces. Lounge furniture from Italian designer Gervasoni, basket lights, model ships and canvas are what gives the interior design its nautical feel. Besides the bar, there is a delightful spacious outdoor lounge in the interior courtyard. Motel One Real Estate GmbH is both developer and investor.

3 FURTHER INCREASE IN GUEST SATISFACTION The Group s most important indicator still relates to guest satisfaction. Motel One has therefore established an assessment and evaluation system to measure guest satisfaction and to analyse and respond promptly to their comments. Each Motel One guest receives an after his or her trip with a link to an evaluation. Development of Guest Satisfaction as a % (year to date September 2014/2013) The data is based on a representative sample of 79,850 (previous year: 70,663) guest evaluations. With its Star quality knows no bounds campaign Motel One has also established an incentive system in which every employee participates in achieving the quality goals. Thus, thanks to our committed staff, despite our growth and international development and despite being active in the market for a long period, we have succeeded in improving yet further what are already high values for the industry in the fourth year in succession. Consolidating service at its high quality level and further developing the quality leadership of the Motel One brand remains an incentive and a key goal of ours.

4 GERMAN BUNDESBANK RAISES INVESTMENT GRADE The German Bundesbank in its letter dated certified the eligibility of our collateral with a Ranking of 3 (previous year: 4). This means that commercial banks can use the loans we are granted as collateral with the German Bundesbank. The final credit rating is established by the competent Bundesbank agency based on the decisions of the ECB Council not simply on figures in the balance sheet but also on circumstances specific to the company and on current trends. The ranking given by the GERMAN BUNDESBANK corresponds to a comparable Investment Grade A of the external ratings agencies S&P and FITCH or an A2 with MOODY S. The Investment Grade will further consolidate our standing with investors and above all boost our international development. ONCE AGAIN AT TOP PLACE IN TREUGAST INVESTMENT RANKING The "Hotel Investment Ranking 2014" by the Treugast Solutions Group, presented at the Expo Real in Munich, included a few surprises. However, both in Germany and in Austria Motel One retains its top position. The ranking rates the suitability of hotel operators in the German market as business partners for investors. Motel One, Accor and Marriott, which continue to have the top AAA rating, are now joined by Grand City Group (GCH) to make up the top four. Motel One in top place maintains its overall position as leader of the group of top German hotel operators. As in previous years, exceedingly positive growth in performance and a very good credit rating, combined with continuous growth, augur well for the company. In 2013 three new lease-based businesses (Dresden, Düsseldorf, Rostock) were added, followed in early 2014 by Frankfurt and Cologne. Numerous projects are on the horizon even though the Group s focus is increasingly shifting abroad (source: Treugast Solution Group in its press release of and HospitalityInnside ).

5 INCOME STATEMENT The network of sites increased to 52 (previous year: 44) hotels with 11,975 (previous year: 9,755) rooms. Q3 saw the opening of the Motel One Leipzig-Augustusplatz and Bremen. Occupancy in Q3 remained stable despite the start-up phases at around 79% (previous year: 79%). RevRoSold increased by 5% to around EUR 83 million (previous year: 79). On this basis revenue increased by 25% to 70 (previous year: 56) and EBITDA by 16% to EUR 25 million (previous year: 21). Pre-tax quarterly profit increased by 43% to EUR 20 million (previous year: 14). It should be noted here that interest result includes an exchange rate gain from a US$ investment of around EUR 3 million. P&L Statement Q Abw YTD September 2013 Abw.

With the only slightly decreased occupancy rate of 74% (previous year: 75%) due to the start-up phases, revenue increased by 22% to EUR 184 million (previous year: 151). Returns on revenue (EBITDAR) fell due to start-up phases and the lower-yield international projects by 1.4 points to 55.0% (previous year: 56.4%). In absolute terms, EBT increased a pleasing 24% to a pre-tax profit of EUR 43 million (previous year: 35).

6 CASH FLOW STATEMENT In Q3 operating cash flow rose to EUR 35 million (previous year: 19). In addition to the profit increase, the increase is due to the change in working capital caused by a tax refund of EUR 7 million in Brussels. CAPEX new investments amounted to EUR 36 million (previous year: 33), of which EUR 33 million is for property owned by the Group and EUR 3 million for the FF&E of the rented hotels. There were major purchases, to the tune of EUR 19 million, of a further piece of land on the Hamburger Fleetinsel and in the centre of Manchester. CAPEX refurbishments of EUR 6 million (previous year: 4) were made to the Motel One Leipzig-Nikolaikirche, Berlin-Tiergarten and München-Sendlinger Tor. New bank loans of EUR 3 million (previous year: 32) were granted. Scheduled payments of long-term debt amounted to EUR 1.5 million (previous year: 2).

7 BALANCE SHEET Like the high investments, there was a 20% increase in fixed assets over the previous year to EUR 432 million (previous year: 358). Growth, however, remains soundly based in terms of finances. The net basis of the balance sheet structure shows an equity ratio of 59% (previous year: 55) with equity of EUR 256 million (previous year: 197) (up 30% over the prior year).

Net debt, i.e. liabilities to banks at EUR 193 million (previous year: 188), less bank balances of EUR 68 million (previous year: 68), rose on balance by 4% to EUR 125 million (previous year: 120). The ratio of net debt to EBITDA (rolling 12 months basis) for a notional debt repayment maturity is 1.6 (previous year: 1.7) years. Adjusted for the pipeline loans, for which there is no EBITDA match yet, the Net Debt/EBITDA ratio is 0.8 (previous year: 1.2) years.

8 HOTELS IN OPERATION AND IN DEVELOPMENT As at 30 September 2014, 52 (previous year: 44) hotels with 11,975 (previous year: 9,755) rooms are in operation.

Overall, growth is contractually secured by 2017 to 74 (previous year: 68) hotels with around 19,300 (previous year: 16,900) rooms (no LOI). The six new projects signed relate to locations in Glasgow, Barcelona, Basel, Zurich, Hamburg and Berlin with around 2,400 rooms. The percentage of international activities grows by 2017 to 30% with around 5,900 rooms at that point.

9 MARKET AND OUTLOOK The hotel market in Germany, as at September 2014, with an average 4.1% increase in RevPAR showed strong growth, just below the European trend of 5.9%. The top destinations in Germany recorded varying degrees of performance in RevPAR. Berlin (4.1%) and Hamburg (4.2%) performed well. On the other hand both Munich (-0.3%) and Frankfurt (-0.1%) still lagged behind as a result of the trade fair cycle which differed from the previous year. The European destinations of relevance to us currently also posted good growth, with Brussels showing an increase of 4.2%, Edinburgh 7.4% and Vienna 4.8% (Source: STR Global YTD September 2014). No serious changes are expected in terms of market performance for Q4. Risks which might, however, negatively impact business development are in plentiful supply given the conflicts in the Ukraine and ISIS in Syria and Iraq. If EBOLA spreads there is also the risk of decreased travel activity similar to what happened with the SARS epidemic in Regardless of this, another five Motel One will be launched in Q4 in outstanding micro-locations at Berlin-Leipziger Platz, Wien-Staatsoper, Magdeburg, Prague and London-Tower Hill.
