Improving Asset Capital Value

In today’s cap rate environment, where $1 on the P+L drives anywhere between $12 and $20 on the balance sheet, the focus is on capital value improvement. We know that owners, investors and operators with a substantial investment in bricks and mortar seek a continuous competitive return from an efficiently-utilised asset. We also know from experience that a professional asset manager can be integral to adding substantial value for the owner/investor and operator.

THSA employs deep consumer insights and marketing expertise in the digital distribution environment to drive incremental and long-term revenue by providing the following asset management services:

  • acting as the owner’s or investor’s representative
  • regular communication with owner and on-call availability
  • regular attendance at the asset to actively review and optimise operational performance
  • keeping owner current with the unique elements of the hospitality and tourism sectors (jargon, ratios, legislative, trends, professional and social environments)
  • regular updates and reporting against asset plan
  • business strategy planning sessions to align owner and operator interest
  • attendance at management meetings with operator to review trading performance
  • financial analysis
  • review annual business plan and budget presentations
  • review annual capital expenditure and replacement plans
  • oversight of external consultants and technical services
  • review and analysis of concept and development plans
  • lobbying of local, state and federal governments on development and support issues
  • cost reviews – land tax and valuation appeals, insurance, rates, taxes, capital expenditure, FF+E reserve, professional fees
  • review of asset utilisation for alternate or best use – e.g., car parks, retail leases, etc.
  • pre-opening planning, design and FF+E, budget preparation, strategic marketing planning
  • technology needs analysis, systems specifications, RFP process, vendor selection, negotiations and systems integration.

TESTIMONIALS

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of contracting Rodger to perform a range of assignments for Mantra Group and more recently for private equity acquisition plans. Rodger’s understanding of the market and his ability to condense the complex assignments into meaningful outcomes is second to none in the industries he specialised in. I thoroughly recommend Rodger as a professional that delivers tangible results.

BOB EAST, CHAIR TOURISM AUSTRALIA, CHAIR EXPERIENCE CO, CHAIR AUSTRALIA VENUE CO
THSA’s independent review of the ultra-luxury lodge ownership and competitive market place was a quality piece of work that has significantly contributed to Baillie Lodges (owned by KSL Capital Partners) understanding of this niche, high yielding segment and the subsequent creation of the strategic M&A plan. Rodger Powell’s intimate understanding of our investment objectives, the unique investment thesis for this asset sub-class and his personal involvement in the process from start to finish were central to the production of a well scoped, thoroughly researched and highly relevant management tool that was delivered at project completion. We will be using THSA again!

Our experience in working with THSA has seen insightful thought, accurate strategic process and planning and a strong ability to bring relationships together.
SIMON MCGRATH, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER – PACIFIC, ACCOR HOTELS

Rodger has been working with me over the last 4 years managing my hotels. It has been a good partnership. Rodger has added value by always thinking about the market that we operate in and combined with his deep knowledge of the operations of the hotels, has been key to increasing the hotels’ performances. We have also teamed up together looking at acquisitions and I have found his insight, drive and work ethic has greatly assisted me in the analysis of these acquisitions.

PHILIP CARTER, OWNER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR, CARTER GROUP
Rodger has an uncommon breadth and depth of experience across multiple aspects of hospitality and tourism. That alone differentiates him from most in his field, but it’s the focus and passion with which he applies it that really delivers great results for his clients.
TONY SOUTH, GLOBAL HOTEL DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM EXECUTIVE
Over the years I have known and worked with Rodger Powell, I found Rodger to be innovative, knowledgeable, more-over practical and efficient in his approach to asset management of hotels, to drive solid returns for the investor. We have also found THSA to be diligent and detailed in undertaking in-depth and focused research on specific markets, identifying their trading potential.
