MONTHLY SAME-STORE SALES
42 hotels	Dec-17	Dec-16	Change %
Room Revenue (Ps. millions)	131.3	128.6	2.1%

RevPar exc. addition of rooms	629.1	616.2	2.1%
RevPar (Ps.)	627.8	616.2	1.9%

The 2.1% increase in Revenue per Available Room was the net effect of the following:

The 3.2% decrease in the average daily rate as a result of the management of dollar-related rates, which lessened the impact of lower average exchange rate depreciation for December 2017; which was under 6.8%.
A 2.7 percentage point increase in occupancy. Traditionally, during the months of December and January there tends to be lower occupancy as a result of the vacation period which generates a lower number of business travelers. However, the figures for month increased compared to last year.

Total Sales for December 2017 were:

The same-store sales calculation considers all of the hotels which have been in Fibra Inn’s portfolio for at least half of the period under discussion. In this case, it is important to consider that the Casa Grande Ciudad Juarez hotel has been closed since September due to its expansion and conversion to the Holiday Inn brand.
