Barclay associate The Group held one material associate investment at 31 December 2019, a 19.9% interest in 111 East 48th Street Holdings, LLC (the ‘Barclay associate’) which owns InterContinental New York Barclay (the hotel), a hotel managed by the Group. The hotel reopened for trading in April 2016 following a major renovation. The investment is classified as an associate and equity accounted. Whilst the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence through certain decision rights, approval rights relating to the hotel’s operating and capital budgets rest solely with the 80.1% majority member. The Group’s ability to receive cash dividends is dependent on the hotel generating sufficient income to satisfy specified owner returns. In March 2017, the Group invested $ 43 m in the Barclay associate in conjunction with a refinancing of the hotel. The cash was used to repay a $43m supplemental bank loan for which the Group had previously provided an indemnity for 100 % of the related obligations. As a consequence, the indemnity was extinguished. Impairment charges of $18m in 2017, related to the Barclay associate , resulted from the depressed trading outlook for the New York hotel market and the high costs of renovating the hotel. The recoverable amount of the investment was measured at its fair value less costs of disposal, based on the Group’s share of the market value of the hotel less debt in the associate. The hotel was appraised by a professional external valuer using an income capitalisation approach which is a discounted cash flow technique that measures the present value of projected income flows (over a 10-year period) and the reversion of the property sale. Within the fair value hierarchy, this is categorised as a Level 3 fair value measurement. In addition to the projected income flows, the key assumptions used were a discount rate of 7.3% and a terminal capitalisation rate of 6.3%. Summarised financial information in respect of the Barclay associate is set out below:
