"We delivered a good third quarter performance. Our strategic focus
on improving our rooms growth yielded strong results, driving net
system size up 5.1% and our best performance for signings and
openings in a decade. &#xA0;Global RevPAR grew 1.0%, with
performance in the US impacted by strong prior year demand from the
2017 hurricanes. &#xA0;</font></div>

We continue to make good progress against the series of new
strategic initiatives we outlined in February. The international
expansion of Kimpton Hotels &amp; Restaurants is accelerating, with
presence secured in 14 countries, voco is on track for more than 15
signings by year end, ahead of our initial expectations, and just
this week we announced the first signing for our recently
relaunched Regent Hotels &amp; Resorts brand. Our first avid hotel
is now open and owner demand continues to be strong, with 150
hotels signed across the Americas and the recent launch of the
brand in Europe.</font></div>

RevPAR was flat in Q3 and up 2.0% Q3 YTD. In the US, rate was up
1.1% and occupancy down 1.2%pts driven by a mid-single digit
occupancy decline in markets which benefited from the
hurricane-related demand which commenced in Q3 2017. As a result,
US RevPAR was down 0.5% in Q3 2018 but up 1.5% Q3 YTD, in line with
the performance of the industry upper-midscale segment. Elsewhere
in the region, Canada was up 2.4%, benefitting from continued
strength in urban markets, whilst Latin America and the Caribbean
were up 6.5%, with strong demand in Colombia and Brazil.&#xA0; In
Mexico RevPAR was up 5.4%, aided by soft prior year comparables
from the earthquake in the Mexico City area.</font></div>

RevPAR was up 2.5% in Q3 and 2.7% Q3 YTD. Continental Europe RevPAR
was up 4.3% with France up 9.8% as the market recovery continues,
and Germany up 2.4% due to a more favourable trade fair calendar.
Russia saw double digit growth, benefitting from the FIFA World
Cup.&#xA0; In the UK, RevPAR was up 1.1% (London up 3.6%, Provinces
down 0.4%), with strong demand in London from leisure guests and
the biennial air show, offsetting softer occupancy in the
Provinces.&#xA0; Elsewhere, there was a low single digit RevPAR
decline in the Middle East and Australia, with both markets
impacted by new supply, whilst Japan, up 2.5%, benefitted from rate
growth in key cities.</font></div>

RevPAR was up 4.8% in Q3 and 8.2% Q3 YTD. &#xA0;Mainland China
growth of 4.5% was driven by continued transient and corporate
demand, but as expected was lower than H1 levels, due to the strong
comparables which commenced in Q3 2017. There was mid-single digit
RevPAR growth in tier 1 and tier 2 cities and a slight decline in
tier 3 and tier 4 cities which was driven by new supply in Sanya
and difficult trading conditions in Changbaishan; excluding these
locations, tier 3 and tier 4 cities also saw mid-single digit
RevPAR growth. Hong Kong SAR was up 5.2% and Macau SAR up 3.8%,
both driven by gains in rate.</font></div>

Exchange Act of 1934) and otherwise.&#xA0; These forward-looking
statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate
only to historical or current facts.&#xA0; Forward-looking
statements often use words such as 'anticipate', 'target',
'expect', 'estimate', 'intend', 'plan', 'goal', 'believe' or other
words of similar meaning.&#xA0; These statements are based on
assumptions and assessments made by InterContinental Hotels Group
PLC's management in light of their experience and their perception
of historical trends, current conditions, expected future
developments and other factors they believe to be
appropriate.&#xA0; By their nature, forward-looking statements are
inherently predictive, speculative and involve risk and
uncertainty.&#xA0; There are a number of factors that could cause
actual results and developments to differ materially from those
expressed in or implied by, such forward-looking statements.&#xA0;
The main factors that could affect the business and the financial
results are described in the 'Risk Factors' section in the current
InterContinental Hotels Group PLC's Annual report and Form 20-F
filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission.</font></div>
