During the quarter, the Nordics posted a strong RevPAR performance benefitting from the Easter timing. Western and Eastern Europe also showed good developments. The markets in the Middle East and Africa continued to show a positive trend, and witnessed a double digit RevPAR growth. Our Route 2015 turnaround plan has continued to deliver positive results. We gained further market share and noted solid improvement in profitability. EBITDA margin increased by 4.5 percentage points and resulted in the best Q2 performance since 2009. The Easter timing contributed an estimated 1 percentage point to the margin uplift. Our investment program also gained momentum in line with our plans. During the quarter, we added 1,800 rooms to the pipeline and opened 800 rooms. More than 90% of the new rooms were under fee based contracts, which support our asset-light strategy. The visibility for the next quarter and the rest of the year is still low. Maintaining cautious optimism, we remain strongly focussed on capturing market share, tight cost control, asset management and growth in emerging markets." Wolfgang M.
