Atour Lifestyle Holdings Limited (“Atour” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ATAT), a leading hospitality and lifestyle company in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter of 2024 Operational Highlights

As of June 30, 2024, there were 1,412 hotels with a total of 161,686 hotel rooms in operation across Atour’s hotel network, representing rapid increases of 36.6% and 34.3% year-over-year in terms of the number of hotels and hotel rooms, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, there were 712 manachised hotels under development in our pipeline.

The average daily room rate4 (“ADR”) was RMB441 for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB475 for the same period of 2023 and RMB430 for the first quarter of 2024.

The occupancy rate4 was 78.4% for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 77.1% for the same period of 2023 and 73.3% for the first quarter of 2024.

The revenue per available room4 (“RevPAR”) was RMB359 for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB384 for the same period of 2023 and RMB328 for the first quarter of 2024.

The GMV5 generated from our retail business was RMB620 million for the second quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 157.6% year-over-year.

“Driven by the synergistic growth of our accommodation and retail businesses, we delivered a strong performance for the second quarter of 2024, further solidifying our industry leadership,” said Mr. Haijun Wang, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Atour. “Our hotel network expansion maintained its vigorous momentum with 123 new openings in the second quarter, representing a new quarterly record. As of the end of the second quarter, we had a total of 1,412 hotels in operation, representing a 36.6% year-over-year increase, which accelerates the progress toward our goal of 2,000 premier hotels nationwide by 2025. In the second quarter, while RevPAR declined year-over-year primarily due to a high base effect, our occupancy rate remained solid, reaching 101.7% of 2023’s level for the same period. Additionally, our retail business continued to deliver exceptional performance in the second quarter, with GMV up by 157.6% year-over-year to RMB620 million, as a result of our efficient new product development and ongoing product offering expansion.

“Looking ahead to the second half of 2024, we will continue propelling progress with our deep understanding of and ability to fulfill customer needs. By consistently enhancing the ‘Chinese Experience’, we will promote comprehensive, high-quality growth across our Group’s businesses and brand portfolio,” concluded Mr. Wang.

Net revenues. Our net revenues for the second quarter of 2024 increased by 64.5% to RMB1,797 million (US$247 million) from RMB1,093 million for the same period of 2023, mainly driven by the growth in manachised hotel and retail businesses.

  • Manachised hotels. Revenues from our manachised hotels for the second quarter of 2024 increased by 63.9% to RMB1,027 million (US$141 million) from RMB626 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily driven by our ongoing hotel network expansion and the rapid growth of our supply chain business. The total number of our manachised hotels increased from 1,001 as of June 30, 2023 to 1,382 as of June 30, 2024. RevPAR of our manachised hotels was RMB355 for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB377 for the same period of 2023. 
  • Leased hotels. Revenues from our leased hotels for the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 17.9% to RMB180 million (US$25 million) from RMB220 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to a decrease in the number of leased hotels as a result of our product mix optimization, as well as a decrease in RevPAR.

  • Retail. Revenues from retail for the second quarter of 2024 increased by 153.6% to RMB537 million (US$74 million) from RMB212 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was driven by widespread recognition of our retail brands and effective product innovation and development as we successfully broadened our range of product offerings.

  • Others. Revenues from others for the second quarter of 2024 increased by 51.2% to RMB53 million (US$7 million) from RMB35 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was driven by our fast-growing membership business.

  • Hotel operating costs for the second quarter of 2024 were RMB776 million (US$107 million), compared with RMB510 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was mainly due to the increase in variable costs, such as supply chain costs, associated with our ongoing hotel network expansion. Hotel operating costs accounted for 64.3% of manachised and leased hotels’ revenues for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 60.2% for the same period of 2023. This increase was due to a decrease in RevPAR attributable to the high base effect in the same period of 2023, as well as an increased share of revenue generated by the lower-margin supply chain business.  
  • Retail costs for the second quarter of 2024 were RMB265 million (US$36 million), compared with RMB108 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was associated with the rapid growth of our retail business. Retail costs accounted for 49.4% of retail revenues for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 50.8% for the same period of 2023. This decrease was attributable to an increasing contribution from higher-margin online sales.

  • Selling and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were RMB225 million (US$31 million), compared with RMB94 million for the same period of 2023.

  • General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were RMB91 million (US$13 million), including RMB15 million share-based compensation expenses, compared with RMB73 million, including RMB9 million share-based compensation expenses for the same period of 2023. Excluding the share-based compensation expenses, this increase was primarily due to an increase in labor costs. General and administrative expenses, excluding share-based compensation expenses, accounted for 4.2% of net revenues for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 5.9% for the same period of 2023. 
  • Technology and development expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were RMB33 million (US$5 million), compared with RMB18 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was mainly attributable to our increased investments in technology systems and infrastructure to support our expanding hotel network and retail business and improve customer experience. Technology and development expenses accounted for 1.8% of net revenues for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 1.6% for the same period of 2023.

Other operating income (expenses), net for the second quarter of 2024 was RMB6 million (US$0.8 million) expenses, compared with RMB30 million income for the same period of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in government subsidies.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. Generally-Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission: adjusted net income, which is defined as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses; EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization; adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as EBITDA excluding share-based compensation expenses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this release.

The Company believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the hospitality industry and may be used by investors as a measure of the financial performance. Given the significant investments that the Company has made in leasehold improvements and other fixed assets of leased hotels, depreciation and amortization comprises a significant portion of the Company’s cost structure. The Company believes that EBITDA will provide investors with a useful tool for comparability between periods because it eliminates depreciation and amortization attributable to capital expenditures. Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding share-based compensation expenses, as the investors can better understand the Company’s performance and compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis, excluding share-based compensation expenses, which are not expected to result in cash payment. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used regularly by Company management in financial and operational decision-making. The accompanying tables provide more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

The use of these non-GAAP measures has certain limitations, as the excluded items have been and will be incurred, and are not reflected in the presentation of these non-GAAP measures. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of the results. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the disclosure of the relevant items both in its reconciliations to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and in its consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the performance of the Company.

In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures utilized by other companies, as these companies may not calculate these measures in the same manner as the Company does.

__________________________________3 Excludes hotel rooms that were previously requisitioned by the government for quarantine needs in response to the COVID-19 outbreak or otherwise became unavailable due to temporary hotel closures. In the second quarter of 2024, no hotels were requisitioned for quarantine needs. ADR and RevPAR are calculated based on tax-inclusive room rates.4 For any given quarter, we define “same-hotel” to be a hotel that has operated for a minimum of 18 calendar months as of the 15th day (inclusive) of any month within that quarter. The OCC, ADR and RevPAR presented above represent such metrics generated by “same hotels” in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the corresponding metrics generated by these “same hotels” during the same period in 2023.
