It also presented us with the opportunity to highlight the resiliency of our portfolio and to continue evolving into a better and stronger company. I am very proud of the achievements in the items that we can directly impact such as cost control and our commitment and progress on ESG issues. On other items, after the impact from Covid-19 we continue progressing towards a recovery of the hotel industry in Mexico. Our hotels showed a positive trend in the quarter with occupancy reaching 36%, almost 12 percentage points above the previous quarter. Revenue increased 45% vs. the last quarter but was (52%) below last year and still far from pre-Covid levels. The Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun hotel had an average occupancy above 50% as tourism has recovered faster than business travel. This highlights the power of our portfolio´s diversification. We serve both business and leisure travels in different segments and our hotels are located in 26 states with well recognized brands and operators. We continue laser focused on cost control, and this has allowed us to reach positive EBITDA during the quarter and to be very close to break-even at the company´s cashflow level. We continue to be in an uncertain environment regarding the speed and shape of the economic and hotel recovery. We continue with measures to conserve liquidity such as reducing all non-essential expenditures, eliminating the distribution and deferring the payment of the Advisory fee. FibraHotel has a strong liquidity position with Ps. $460 million in cash, an available credit line of Ps. $250 million and an LTV of 29.2%. Additionally, we have reached agreements to reduce short term capital amortizations and to extended covenant waivers with our bond and bank lenders for 2021. I would like to end by thanking and recognizing our team and partners for their work though these difficult times. These results would not be possible without the unwavering commitment from our team members, the guidance of our Technical Committee and the support of our strategic partners including operators, banks and investors.” said Simón Galante, CEO FibraHotel. http://www.fibrahotel.com 2 @FibraHotel Other relevant information: FibraHotel signed an agreement to improve the amortization schedule for the BBVA 1 line FibraHotel signed a credit amendment agreement in order to improve the amortization schedule of the BBVA 1 credit line. This agreement reduces the capital amortization payments to Ps. $9.3 million during 2021 and 2022. This change reduces Ps. $169 million in capital amortizations payments in the next two years. Grace period for compliance with financial covenants in bank credits FibraHotel reached an agreement with BBVA and Banorte on the financial conditions on its credit agreements, obtaining a covenant waiver for 2021 (excluding the leverage ratio, which FibraHotel is in compliance). FIHO 19 Holder’s Assembly On February 3rd, 2021, FibraHotel held a FIHO CBF 19 Holders’ Assembly. With a quorum of 90% and all proposals were passed including: A waiver for 2021 regarding a clause that limited new debt issuance if the debt coverage ratio was lower than 1.5x. With this waiver, FibraHotel is able to issue additional debt during 2021 for an amount up to Ps. $500 million; Added a new clause allowing FibraHotel to issue additional debt to refinance existing debts if it improves the terms and conditions of the existing debt, even when the debt service coverage ratio is lower than 1.5x. Deferral of the payment of the Advisory Fee to conserve liquidity FibraHotel’s Practice Committee authorized the company to request to the Advisor the postponement of the payment of the fourth quarter of 2020 Advisory Fee in order to preserve liquidity. The Advisor agreed to this proposal and as such, the Advisory Fee will be provisioned in the financial statements with a corresponding account payable to the Advisor. This transaction has no impact on FibraHotel’s cash flow. We estimate that in 2021 the Advisory Fee will be payed in regular terms and the Practice Committee is evaluating different alternatives for the payment of the account payable to the Advisor. Reduction in maintenance capex reserve requirements in order to conserve liquidity FibraHotel reached an agreement with its hotel operators to temporarily suspend the capex reserve in order to conserve liquidity. Capex will be strictly limited to investments required to maintain the hotels in good condition. http://www.fibrahotel.com 3 @FibraHotel FibraHotel made certain changes to the values of its real estate assets on its balance sheet: The following table shows a summary of changes to the value of real estate assets detailed below.
