The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Accor Group for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on July 29, 2026.
-
Accounting framework
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, the interim financial report does not include all the information and disclosures required in an annual report and should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of new standards and amendments effective as at January 1, 2026 as set out below. The specific measurement principles applied in the interim reporting period are described in Note 4.5 for employee benefits and Note 10 for income tax.
-
Evolution of accounting framework
-
New standards and amendments
As at June 30, 2026, the Group has applied the same accounting policies and measurement methods as for the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for mandatory changes in standards effective from January 1, 2026. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 regarding the classification and measurement of financial instruments, mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, had no significant impact on the Group's interim consolidated financial statements.
-
Future standards, amendments and interpretations
The Group has not early applied any standards, amendments to standards or interpretations applicable on January 1, 2026 regardless of whether they were adopted by the European Union.
On February 16, 2026, the European Union endorsed IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. This standard notably introduces a new structure for the income statement, comprising standardized categories (operating, investing, financing) and mandatory subtotals. It also establishes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of income and expenses. The application of IFRS 18 will require the Group to revise the presentation of its income statement, with further disaggregation, particularly regarding operating expenses. Financial income and expense, which currently includes interest and investment income, dividends, and foreign exchange gains and losses, will also be significantly affected by the allocation of these items to the new categories defined by the standard. In addition, Accor continues to assess the implications of recent agenda decisions issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee, particularly those relating to foreign exchange differences on intra-group assets and liabilities and the presentation of operating expenses.
-
New standards and amendments
- Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at closing date, income and expenses of the period and accompanying disclosures.
Management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or changes in underlying conditions.. The estimates and assumptions used are reviewed on an on-going basis, based on historical experience and all other factors considered to be decisive given the environment and circumstances.
The main areas involving significant estimates or a high degree of judgment in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are:
The measurement at fair value of consideration transferred and intangible assets acquired in business combinations,
The measurement of the recoverable value of goodwill, brands, equity-accounted investments and assets held for sale,
The measurement of variable considerations from contracts with hotel owners,
The measurement of unexercised benefits granted to customers under the loyalty program ("breakage"),
The assumptions used to determine obligations under pension plans and share-based payment plans,
The assessment of available future taxable profits over which deferred tax assets can be utilized,
The fair value measurement of financial assets, and
The measurement of provisions.

Group performance
The hotel activity delivered a remarkably strong performance during the first two months of financial year 2026. The conflict in the Middle East, which began at the end of February, had a significant impact on operations in the region, particularly in the United Arab Emirates, notably affecting the performance of the Lifestyle segment. Nevertheless, thanks to the diversification of its portfolio, both geographically and across segment, together with strict cost discipline, the Group was able to sustain its growth trajectory.
The "RevPAR" (Revenue Per Available Room) of the hotel network grew by 2.2% compared to the first half of 2025. The occupancy rate reached 64%.
In the first half of 2026, consolidated revenue amounted to C2,760 million, compared to C2,745 million for the comparative period. This increase breaks down into a 1.7% rise for the Premium, Midscale & Economy division, and a 5.0% decrease for the Luxury & Lifestyle division, primarily reflecting the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the disposal of Paris Society's "Festive" and "Event" businesses, and unfavorable foreign exchange effects.
-
Significant events
The significant events of the period are:
The acquisition of the remaining 49% stake in Rikas (see Note 3.1),
The direct and indirect disposal of part of the shares held by the Group in Silenseas, Orient Express and OE Management Company (see Note 3.1),
The signing by Accor SA of two bank credit facilities totalling C450 million, of which C250 million were drawn during the first half of 2026 (see Note 9.2.1),
The repayment by Ennismore of its bilateral credit lines for C225 million and the arrangement of new bank financing of C580 million, comprising a term loan of C406 million and a revolving credit facility of C174 million (see Note 9.2.1),
The launch of a share buyback program for an amount of C225 million, of which C160 million already executed (see Note 11.1.4).
-
Scope consolidation changes
-
Acquisition of Rikas' non-controlling Interests
In 2024, Accor, through its subsidiary Ennismore Lifestyle Group Limited ("Ennismore"), acquired a 51% stake in Rikas Investment LLC ("Rikas"), a company based in Dubai specializing in managing high-end restaurants, and committed to acquiring an additional 14% stake . On January 29, 2026, Ennismore entered into an equity swap agreement with the minority shareholder of Rikas, pursuant to which Ennismore acquired his remaining 49% stake in Rikas in exchange for newly issued shares representing 3% of Ennismore's share capital and a cash consideration of $23 million (i.e. C19 million).
As the Group has held exclusive control over Rikas since 2024, this transaction was accounted for as a transaction between shareholders, leading to a C10 million increase in equity, including C5 million attributable to non-controlling interests. It also resulted in the derecognition of the financial liability recognized in respect of the obligation to acquire a 14% stake in Rikas.
This transaction generated a C19 million cash outflow, presented within financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
-
Disposals of the period
On February 6, 2026, Accor sold part of its stake in Silenseas to a Swiss investment company. Silenseas is a company offering luxury cruises aboard sailing yachts under the Orient Express brand. The investor also acquired an indirect stake in Orient Express, the company owning the Orient Express brand, and OE Management Company, the entity managing hotels and trains under the Orient Express brand, as well as a portion of the shareholder loans granted to OE Management Company.
This transaction resulted in the derecognition of the shares and shareholder loans that were classified as assets held for sale as at December 31, 2025, in exchange for a C15 million increase in equity, including C10 million attributable to non-controlling interests.
The disposal generated a C66 million cash inflow, presented within investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
In addition, the Group disposed of Paris Society's Events business, whose assets and liabilities were classified as assets held for sale as at December 31, 2025. This transaction is in line with Paris Society's strategy to refocus on its core business of high-end restaurants.
-
Other transactions
In 2024, the Group entered into a partnership with Habitas Group Ltd, which included the subscription by its subsidiary Ennismore of convertible bonds. On April 10, 2026, Habitas Group Ltd entered into an administration process in the United Kingdom. Ennismore, together with other creditors, submitted a takeover bid to the administrators. As part of this transaction, the convertible bonds were exchanged for a 51% stake in a newly incorporated entity, EWN Hospitality Limited, established to acquire the management contracts and the "Our Habitas" brand. Pending the finalization of the shareholders' agreement, this stake was accounted for as an equity-accounted investment for C26 million.
-
Acquisition of Rikas' non-controlling Interests
- Assets held for sale and discontinued operations
As at June 30, 2026, the assets held for sale (and associated liabilities) mainly comprised:
The 30.7% stake held by the Group in Essendi (formerly AccorInvest), following the negotiations entered into with a consortium comprising Blackstone and Colony IM for a disposal price of up to c.C975 million, including c.C675 million payable upon closing of the transaction and an earn-out of up to C300 million (see Note 12.1 "Subsequent Events"). In accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the Essendi shares were measured at their estimated fair value less costs to sell, resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss of C44 million, presented within other income and expenses (see Note 5). This impact primarily reflected the time value incorporated into the fair value estimate of the earn-out.
The assets and liabilities of the subsidiary AAPC India Hotel Management ("AAPCI"), 51% owned by Accor and 49% by InterGlobe, India's leading travel conglomerate, following an agreement between the two shareholders to combine their assets and hotel management operations in the country within a standalone and integrated platform. This new entity, which will not be controlled by Accor, will serve as the exclusive development vehicle for all Accor brands in India. As at June 30, 2026, the assets and liabilities of AAPCI comprised non-current assets of C10 million, current assets of C54 million (including C34 million of cash and cash equivalents) and current liabilities of C9 million. A comparison of the carrying amount of the disposal group with its fair value less costs to sell did not result in the recognition of any impairment loss.
Equity investments, for which a disposal process has been initiated , including the Group's stake in Reef Casino Trust, an Australian-listed company owning a hotel resort with a casino.

Other operating expenses decreased slightly, mainly driven by the cost-control measures implemented during the first half of the year.

Pensions and other benefits
Accounting policy
The post-employment and other long-term employee benefits obligation is calculated by projecting over a half-year period, the obligation as at December 31, of the previous financial year, taking into account the benefits paid and changes in plan assets. As at June 30, the actuarial assumptions used in the calculation of the employee benefits obligation are updated in the event of significant change over the period.
-
Pensions and other benefits
Following the increase in market interest rates over the first half of 2026, the Group updated the rates assumptions on post-employment benefits resulting in a C2 million decrease of post-employment benefits obligation recognized in other comprehensive income.
The main discount rates used were as follows:
Dec. 2025 June 2026 Discount rateFrance | 2%(*) - 3.7% | 2%(*) - 4.0% |
Belgium | 3.7% | 4.0% |
Switzerland | 1.1% | 1.2% |
Canada | 4.5% | 4.6% |
United Kingdom | 5.4% | 5.7% |
(*) Rate used for one of the frozen supplementary pension schemes | ||
4.5.2 Share-based payments |
In the first half of 2026, personnel expenses included C22 million related to share-base payments.
On March 23, 2026, the Group granted 1,230,959 performance shares to some of its employees, subject to a three-year vesting period. At this date, the fair value of the performance share was C29.60, corresponding to a share price of C38.79 adjusted downwards to reflect the expected dividends forgone over the vesting period and the probability of meeting the market conditions.
The shares provided will vest if the grantee remains within the Group until the end of the vesting period, and if the following performance conditions are fulfilled:
Non-market conditions (70% weighting): level of achievement of Group recurring EBITDA (30%) and Recurring Free Cash flows (20%) compared to the budget over the financial years 2026 to 2028, energy performance improvement targets (10%) and proportion of women holding VP-level and above positions (10%), both measured at the end of 2028.
Market condition (30% weighting): change in Accor's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) compared to a reference synthetic index composed of European and international hotel groups.
The total fair value of this plan amounts to C36 million and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period under employee benefits expenses, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The expense recognized in the first half amounted to C3 million.

- Impairment tests
In accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of assets, Accor is required to assess at each closing date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired and, if so, estimate the asset's recoverable amount.
As at June 30, 2026, the Group updated its forecasts to incorporate the revised budget for 2026, which reflects the latest "RevPAR" (Revenue Per Available Room) trends by geography. Based on these forecasts, the Group has not identified any impairment indicators requiring impairment tests for goodwill.
Accor also conducted a review of its trademarks, hotel management contracts, right-of-use assets and equity-accounted investments. Impairment tests were carried out on a case-by-case basis when an impairment indicator, or an indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased, was identified.
As at June 30, 2026, the Group recognized an impairment loss of C(11) million on hotel management contracts in the Management & Franchise segment, driven by hotel network exits, classified under other income and expenses in the income statement (see Note 5).
Note 8. ProvisionsChanges in provisions in the first half of 2026 break down as follows:
(C in million) | Dec. 2025 | Allowance | Reversal Unused Utilizations provisions | Exchange diff. & others | June 2026 | |
Litigation and others risks | 114 | 7 | (7) | (15) | 3 | 102 |

| 37 | 3 | (5) | (3) | 1 | 33 |
| 151 | 44 | (17) | (13) | 2 | 167 |
Insurance liabilities are carried by Comura, a subsidiary specializing in reinsurance, which covers notably property damages and third-party liability risks of almost half of the hotels of the Group's network.
In the first half of 2026, the change in provisions for restructuring is mainly explained by the impacts of the Group's reorganization.

Short-term financing
Accor has a short-term financing program in the form of negotiable commercial papers (NEU CP) for an amount of C750 million. As at June 30, 2026, this program is drawn down for C398 million.
Bank borrowings
On June 5, 2026, Ennismore entered into a new bank financing arrangement totaling £500 million (C580 million), consisting of:
a £350 million (C406 million) drawn term loan,
a £150 million (C174 million) multi-currency revolving credit facility, of which C40 million had been drawn as of June 30, 2026, with a maturity in June 2031.
This financing enabled Ennismore to repay its drawn bilateral credit facilities, amounting to a total of £194 million (C225 million), as well as the intra-group financing provided by Accor SA.
No financial covenants apply to Ennismore's financing facilities as long as Accor SA maintains an "Investment Grade" credit rating.
In the first half of 2026, Accor SA signed a bank credit facility of C250 million, fully drawn, with an initial maturity of six months and an option to extend it for an additional six months.
Unused committed credit facilities
Accor SA also secured a C200 million credit facility, undrawn as at June 30, 2026, with a six-month maturity and an option to extend it for a further six months. This facility complements the existing C1 billion undrawn bank credit facility maturing in December 2030, following the exercise of both one-year extension options.

Accounting policy
In the interim financial statements, the tax expense is estimated by applying the expected annual effective tax rate to the 'net income before income taxes'.
The tax effects of specific events of the period are recognized when these events occur and are not taken into account when calculating the annual effective tax rate.
In the first half of 2026, the Group recognized an income tax expense of C(66) million compared to C(69) million in the comparative period.
The income tax expense remained broadly stable between the first half of 2025 and the first half of 2026, despite the decrease in profit before tax (excluding the share of profit from equity-accounted investments). This trend was mainly attributable to the recognition of non-taxable income in 2025 and impairment losses with limited tax effects in 2026.
