PPHE’s 2016 interim results disappointed the market, as construction delays will affect 2016 profitability. The key point for long term investors is that, although the loss of profits and cash flow is disappointing, the business outlook for 2017 and on is unaffected, while property values are above expectations. Our forecasts for 2016 and 2017 are reduced for this and other reasons. The shares trade at a significant discount to book value as adjusted for the real value of the assets, and this value will be further boosted when the new hotels open, and we expect the discount to narrow.
