Second Quarter of 2024 Operational Highlights

 

Hotels

 

	·	A total of 4,272 hotels with 312,734 hotel rooms were in operation as of June 30, 2024.
	·	The Company opened 44 hotels and had a pipeline of 1,022 hotels contracted for or under development as of June 30, 2024.
	·	The average daily room rate was RMB173, a decrease of 4.3% from RMB181 in the second quarter of 2023.
	·	The occupancy rate was 72.5%, down from 77.8% in the second quarter of 2023.
	·	Revenue per available room, or RevPAR, was RMB125, a 10.8% year-over-year decrease.

 

1.The conversion of Renminbi ("RMB") into United States dollars ("US$") is based on the exchange rate of US$1.00=RMB 7.2672 on March 31, 2024 as set forth in H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and available at https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h10/20220103/.

 

2.Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is calculated as net income plus other operating expenses, income tax expense, share of loss in equity investees, net of tax, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, losses from investment in equity securities and other general expenses, but excludes other operating income, interest income and other, net, gains from investment in equity securities, share of gains in equity investees (net of tax), and other income, net. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) included in this report has been aligned according to the above mentioned definition.

 

3.Core net income is calculated as net income plus share-based compensation, losses from investments in equity securities (net of 25% tax), other expense(net of 25% tax), one-time fees and expense, and other general expenses but excludes government subsidies (net of 25% tax), gains from investment in equity securities (net of 25% tax), and other income (net of 25% tax).

 

 

Restaurants

 

	·	A total of 183 restaurants were in operation as of June 30, 2024.
	·	The AC (average check) was RMB53, a 6.0% year-over-year decrease.
	·	The ADT (average daily tickets) was 90, down from 109 in the second quarter of 2023.
	·	The ADS (average daily sales per store) was RMB4,737, a decrease of 22.1% from RMB6,082 in the second quarter of 2023.

 

“In the second quarter, we faced challenges as China’s economy continued to recover. We believe both consumers and businesses exercised caution in discretionary spending, which had a negative impact on our overall performance. However, we continued to upgrade a number of hotels in our portfolio in order to better respond to increasing competition. While we believe this will help our performance in the future, second quarter hotel revenues decreased 14.8% year-over-year.

 

We continued to execute on our strategy to return our restaurant business to profitability by moving away from leased-and-operated restaurants in supermarkets and regional shopping centers towards franchised street stores. As a result, the net income turned positive this quarter after breaking even last quarter compared to losses in both corresponding quarters a year ago. Our focus is now fully on growing the number of franchised street stores and stores with stable consumer traffic,” said Mr. Alex S. Xu, Chairman and Chief Executive Office of GreenTree.

Total revenues were RMB329.7 million (US$45.4 million)^[1]，a 20.5% year-over-year decrease.

 

Hotel revenues of 2024 were RMB264.6 million (US$36.4 million)^[1], a 14.8% year-over-year decrease. There were two major reasons: first, a 10.8% year-over-year decrease in Revpar ; second, the closure of 5 L&O hotels in the second quarter due to lease expiration and strategic decisions; and partially setoff by new openings.

 

Restaurant revenues were of 2024 RMB65.3 million (US$9.0 million)^[1], a 37.8% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to lower ADS and the decrease in the number of L&O stores due to the closure of unprofitable L&O stores.

 

Total revenues for the first half of 2024 were RMB681.9 million (US$93.8 million)^[1], a 14.1% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from leased-and-operated, or L&O, hotels and restaurants were RMB149.2 million (US$20.5 million)^[1], a 28.9% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from L&O hotels were RMB105.9 million (US$14.6 million)^[1], a 19.5% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 7.3% year-over-year decrease in the second quarter RevPAR of L&O hotels, 5 L&O hotels closed and reduction of sublease revenues mainly due to the disposal of a property.

 

 

Total revenues from L&O restaurants were RMB43.3 million (US$6.0 million)^[1], a 45.2% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to the closure of L&O restaurants since the third quarter of 2023 and the year-over-year decrease in ADS.

 

Total revenues from L&O hotels and restaurants for the first half of 2024 were RMB318.1 million (US$43.8 million)^[1], a 16.5% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from franchised-and-managed, or F&M, hotels and restaurants were RMB160.0 million (US$22.0 million)^[1], a 11.2% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from F&M hotels were RMB157.8 million (US$21.7 million)^[1], a 11.3% year-over-year decrease, primary due to a 10.9% decrease in F&M hotels' Revpar and remodeling.

 

Total revenues from F&M restaurants were RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million)^[1], a 1.5% year-over-year increase, as we opened more F&M stores.

 

Total revenues from F&M hotels and restaurants for the first half of 2024 were RMB312.7 million (US$43.0 million)^[1], a 10.8% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from wholesale and others were RMB17.8% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to the decline in the wholesale segment of the restaurant business.

 

Total revenues from wholesale and others for the first half of 2024 were RMB51.1 million (US$7.0 million)^[1], a 18.6% year-over-year decrease.

The guidance set forth above reflects the Company's current and preliminary views based on its recovery and may not be indicative of the final financial results for any future periods or the full year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and core net income, as we present them, are useful financial metrics to assess our operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions, income taxes and certain non-core and non-recurring items in our financial statements.

 

The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and core net income should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains we consider to be outside the ordinary course of our business.

 

The use of Adjusted EBITDA and core net income has certain limitations because it does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect our operations. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and core net income are significant components in understanding and assessing our operating and financial performance. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets, income tax and share-based compensation have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and core net income do not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, interest expense/income, gains/losses from investments in equity securities, income tax expenses, share-based compensation, share of loss in equity investees, government subsidies and other relevant items both in our reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

 

The terms Adjusted EBITDA and core net income are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA and core net income are not measures of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When assessing our operating and financial performance, you should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for our net income, operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our Adjusted EBITDA and core net income may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and core net income or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and core net income in the same manner as we do.

 

 

Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and core net income, to the consolidated statement of operations information are included at the end of this press release.
