The acquisition and integration of Tryp Hotels and the conse- quences of the deal represent great milestones in company development and da major step towards our consolidation as a major player on the world stage. More than 330 hotels with more than 82,000 rooms in 30 countries makes us not only the biggest resort hotel company in the world, but also undis- puted leaders in Spain and in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the second largest hotel chain in Europe. And after almost half a century, all of this has made the year 2000 a year in which Sol Meliá has entered the prestigious “Top Ten” hotel companies in the world. A team of more than 33,000 people and a portfolio of 80 new hotel projects already signed for development will take Sol Meliá to 410 hotels with 102,000 rooms in less than 2 more years. As one would expect, the company that now emerges from this deal is much more structurally sound, blessed with greater operational capacity and with great expectations for improvements in results. The acquisition has also reaf- firmed our philosophy of diversification of our hotel portfolio and our ability to provide solutions to the needs of all different types of business and leisure travellers. Our consolidation in the city hotel arena and our clear leadership of the Spanish market have also made it more difficult for foreign companies to gain a significant foothold in our domestic market, while also improving our position in terms of variable and structural costs. This significant deal has not only served to increase the number of hotels in our portfolio, but it has also provided, as expected, an increase in com- pany profitability. Our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) have reached 43,377 million pesetas – 260.7 million euros-, an increase of 31% over the previous year and, once again, far in excess of the 20% annual growth we have always set as our objective. The new and strategic incorporations, the benefits generated by the exten- sive refurbishment programme in a large number of hotels and the reposi- tioning of company hotels and brands after such an important deal have had an exceptional result: the achievement of record financial results for the year 2000. Consolidated turnover increased by 35%, while consolidated revenues grew to 149,399 million pesetas – 891.9 million euros -, and net profits rose to 19,750 million pesetas – 118.7 million euros. These results, the financial solvency of the company and the excellent pers- pectives for the future have given us the second best credit rating in the S OL M ELIÁ A NNUAL R EPORT 2000 9 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN hotel industry, a BBB (stable) from Standard & Poor’s. The achievement of the rating was also a starting point for the launch of a Eurobond issue aimed at diversifying our sources of finance and which ended its first phase in 2000 with spectacular results. And if the purchase of Tryp was the most important deal of the year, our firm commitment to the use of new technology (the so-called e-transfor- mation of the company) is another of the key elements of the evolution of the business in 2000.
