2013 Annual Report / Fibra Inn

Dear Holders,
I am addressing you after the
end of a year that was full of
challenges, but also of many
satisfactions.
In 2013 we ceased to be a privately held
company to become a Real Estate Investment
Trust (REIT of FIBRA in the Spanish acronym),
which has allowed us to establish new growth
and profitability goals. We would have never
been able to achieve this without the trust of
our investors and the people who have worked
relentlessly for Fibra Inn to be an attractive op-
tion in the market.
During our first year as a public company,
we were able to invest most of the cash obtai-
ned from the Initial Public Offering, to acquire
a portfolio of six hotels previously identified, as
well as the acquisition of seven additional hote-
Is. Our initial portfolio was of eight hotels, with
a total of 1,613 rooms. As of today, Fibra Inn has
a portfolio of 22 hotels, which comprises, 3,961
rooms, including 409, which are part of the ex-
pansions. In addition, we have acquired three
other lots where we will develop hotels at stra-
tegic locations, to include 540 additional rooms.
Currently, the Fibra Inn portfolio covers 13 states
in Mexico, as compared to when it started, and
operated in only six states.
During 2013, there were economic events
that few anticipated, among which I would like
to point out the long term interest rate increa-
se in our country, the fiscal regulation changes,
and the deceleration of the economy. These
events caused the valuation of financial assets
in general, and particularly for the REITs, to un-
dergo a price adjustment. Owing to this unex-
pected change in the interest rates and the eco-
nomic activity, Fibra Inn management reacted
promptly, establishing new profitability levels to
acquire hotels and developments, focusing on
improving hotel operation efficiencies, entering
into agreements with brands such as Marriott
International, Inc., IHG and Wyndham Worldwi-
de, and rebranding some of the hotels.
The strategy we implemented over the year
allowed us to:
Report the highest EBITDA and NOI in our
industry.
Pay the highest dividend yield of the hotel
FIBRAS.
Increase occupancy, daily average rate,
and RevPAR (Revenue per available room)
• Operate under eight internationally re-
nowned hotel brands, with six experien-
ced hotel operators.
In facing the future, we have defined four
pillars that sustain Fibra Inn's strategy: organic
growth through an increase in occupancy and
average daily rates; consolidation of a fragmen-
ted industry; synergies and economies of scale;
and strategic acquisitions. The above will allow
Fibra Inn to continue to fulfill its value propo-
sition, consistent with paying attractive distri-
butions, growing in a sustainable way, diversi-
fying geography and brands, and maintaining
its operation efficiencies.
2014 offers yet greater challenges, than tho-
se we faced in 2013; but we are convinced we
will be able to meet the goals we defined for
ourselves. We are analyzing several potential
acquisitions that will allow us to continue our
quality assets growth. We are planning to dou-
ble the size of the portfolio by maintaining our
hotel operation efficiencies and continuing our
diversification of brands and key locations. On
these efforts, we shall look to finance our grow-
th under the most favorable conditions for our
shareholders, while committed to maintain the
same level of diistributions that we have paid
up to now.
Finally, I would like to thank all those who are
part of this great family, for having successfully
ended our first year as a public company; and
our shareholders, for having entrusted us at Fi-
bra Inn. I am certain that 2014 will be a year of
great success.
Sincerely,
Vermill
