| · | The average daily room rate, or ADR, for all hotels in operation was RMB153 in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 1.6% from RMB151 in the first quarter of 2021. Such ADR was RMB147 in the second quarter of 2022, a 14.0% year-over-year decrease. |
| · | The occupancy rate, or OCC, for all hotels in operation was 60.0% in the first quarter of 2022, down from 63.4 % in the first quarter of 2021. Such OCC was 62.2% in the second quarter of 2022, compared with 78.6% in the second quarter of 2021. |
| · | The revenue per available room, or RevPAR, which is calculated by multiplying our hotels' ADR by its occupancy rate, was RMB92 in the first quarter of 2022, a 3.9% year-over-year decrease. RevPAR was RMB91 in the second quarter of 2022, a 31.9% year-over-year decrease. |
| · | As of June 30, 2022 the Company's loyalty program had over 74 million individual members and approximately 1,905,000 corporate members, compared to over 69 million individual members and approximately 1,850,000 corporate members, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. |
"The first half of 2022 was extremely challenging as COVID-19 outbreaks in many parts of the country resulted in lockdowns in many cities, especially in Shanghai. Nevertheless, we continued to execute our long-term strategic growth plan to deliver continued operating profitability, maintain healthy and stable cash flow, open L&O hotels in new strategic locations, and assist franchisees in maintaining quality operations," said Mr. Alex Xu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GreenTree.
Our performance in January and February, especially during Chinese New Year, was better than our industry's average, creating growing momentum in our business. However, outbreaks in the second quarter slowed down the pace of recovery throughout our industry, especially in top-tier cities such as Guangzhou and Shanghai.
As we entered summer and transportation restrictions were relaxed, RevPAR recovered. In the third quarter, it reached nearly 80% of the same period in 2019. October and November brought a fresh wave of outbreaks, slowing down our recovery once again. However, with flexible anti-pandemic measures released by the government early December, RevPAR recovered this month to more than 85% of its pre-pandemic levels.
The pandemic is evolving rapidly in China and it is unclear at this stage what impact this will have on our business in the short term as many people currently prefer to act cautiously and limit their travels. Looking into the first quarter of 2023, with Chinese New Year late January, and the months beyond, we expect that the country will gradually return to normal life. To prepare for these better days, we are helping our hotels and franchisees to devise and implement stringent measures to ensure the safety of our guests and training staff at all levels to be fully ready for the expected recovery in leisure and business travel.

As we are closing another very difficult year, I want to give a special thanks to our team, franchisees, and partners for their hard work in protecting the health of our guests and supporting each other through very challenging times.

Total revenues for the first half of 2022 were RMB457.4 million (US$ 68.3 million) [1], a 22.3% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19, which resulted in lower RevPAR at L&O hotels and F&M hotels. Compared with the first half of 2019, before the COVID-19 outbreak, total revenues for the first half of 2022 decreased by 10.4%.
Total revenues from leased-and-operated hotels for the first half of 2022 were RMB171.3 million (US$25.6 million) [1], a 1.0% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was primarily due to a 22.6% year-over-year decrease in L&O hotels’ second quarter RevPAR and was partially offset by a 10.3% year-over-year increase in L&O hotels’ first quarter RevPAR and the increased number of newly opened L&O hotels.
Total revenues from franchised-and-managed hotels for the first half of 2022 were RMB275.5 million (US$41.1 million) [1], a 30.4% year-over-year decrease. Initial franchise fees for the first half of 2022 decreased 33.6% year-over-year, mainly because of the decrease in the gross opening number of F&M hotels. Recurring franchisee management fees and others for the first half of 2022 decreased by 30.0% year-over-year, primarily due to a 4.3% decrease in F&M hotels’ RevPAR for 2022 Q1 and a 32.4% decrease in F&M hotels’ RevPAR for 2022 Q2 due to the impact of COVID-19 and the fee waivers to franchisees of quarantined hotels and hotels whose RevPAR was severely affected by the pandemic.

Hotel operating costs for the first half of 2022 were RMB 307.8 million (US$45.9 million) [1], a 7.4% year-over-year increase. The increase was mainly attributable to the opening of 34 L&O hotels since the beginning of 2021, which resulted in higher rents, higher utilities, higher staff headcount and compensation expenses, higher depreciation and amortization. Excluding the impact from newly opened L&O hotels since 2021, hotel operating costs for the first half of 2022 decreased 14.1%.

Selling and marketing expenses for the first half of 2022 were RMB18.9 million (US$2.8 million) [1], a 52.7% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower advertising expenses and staff related expenses, due to less employee business travels in the pandemic.
General and administrative expenses for the first half of 2022 were RMB99.7 million (US$14.9 million) [1], a 21.5% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was mainly attributable to the reduction of travel expenses and consulting fees.
Other general expenses were RMB490.6 million (US$73.2 million) [1] in the first half of 2022, which included one-time impairment charges for Argyle and Urban as mentioned earlier. After certain assessment, GreenTree's board of directors concluded that the Company would deconsolidate Argyle starting from June, 2022. As for Urban, GreenTree has sold its equity interest and will deconsolidate Urban in the fourth quarter. In addition to the one-time impairments, we also took a provision for other assets related to two properties. In the first quarter of 2021, we signed Lease Contracts and Purchase Intention Contracts with Shanghai HongYuan Shengshi for two properties located in the Hongqiao Business Center, where we planned to develop flagship L&O hotels and the company’s new headquarters. However, because of the financial crisis of Evergrande, one of its shareholders, neither property had been delivered on time as contracted as of June 30, 2022. Therefore, we decided to take a full provision at this time out of an abundance of caution.
Gross profit for the first half of 2022 was RMB149.6 million (US$22.3 million)[1], a year-over-year decrease of 50.4%. Gross margin for the first half of 2022 was 32.7%, compared to 51.3% a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to the operating loss recorded by newly opened L&O hotels and lower revenue caused by Covid-19.
Income from operations for the first half of 2022 was RMB-457.7 million (US$-68.3 million) [1], a year-over-year decrease of 403.7%, with a margin of -100.1%. Excluding other general expenses, income from operation from purely operating activities was RMB 32.9 million, with a margin of 7.2%.
Net income for the first half of 2022 was RMB-360.9 million (US$-53.9million) [1], compared to RMB146.3 million in the first half of 2021 and net margin was -78.9%. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to other general expenses. Excluding these, net income was 68.3 million RMB, with a margin of 14.9%.
4 / 16
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) [2] for the first half of 2022 was RMB93.3 million (US$13.9 million) [1], a year-over-year decrease of 46.8%. Adjusted EBITDA margin, defined as adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) as a percentage of total revenues, for the first half of 2022 was 20.4%, compared to 29.8% a year ago. The decrease was mainly attributable to the increased number of L&O hotels—both newly opened and in the pipeline. Excluding the impact of newly opened and pipeline hotels, adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the first half of 2022 was RMB139.3 million, with a margin of 34.9%.
Core net income (non-GAAP) for the first half of 2022 was RMB105.9 million (US$15.8 million) [1], a year-over-year decrease of 13.7%. The core net margin, defined as core net income (non-GAAP) as a percentage of total revenues, for the first half of 2022 was 23.2%, compared to 20.9% one year ago. Excluding the impact of newly opened hotels, core net income (non-GAAP) was RMB163.9 million, with a margin of 41.1%.
Earnings per ADS (basic and diluted) for the first half of 2022 were RMB-3.18 (US$-0.47) [1], down from RMB1.47 one year ago. Core net income per ADS (basic and diluted) (non-GAAP) for the first half of 2022 was RMB1.03 (US$0.15) [1], down from RMB1.19 a year ago.
Cash flow Operating cash inflow for the first half of 2022 was RMB 130.7 million (US$ 19.5 million) [1] as a result of income from operations. Investing cash inflow for the first half of 2022 was RMB 322.6 million (US$48.2 million) [1], which was primarily attributable to proceeds from short-term investments and proceeds from the disposal of security equities. The investing cash inflow was partially offset by a loan to an affiliated food and restaurant business which is to be merged with the Company in January 2023. Financing cash outflow for the first half of 2022 was RMB181.6 million (US$27.1 million)[1], mainly attributable to the repayment of bank loans by the end of the June 30, 2022.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, investments in equity securities and time deposit. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short term investments, investments in equity securities and time deposits of RMB1,079.5 million (US$161.17 million) [1], compared to RMB1,235.9 million as of December 31, 2021. The decrease from the end of 2021 was primarily attributable to the repayment of bank loans and a loan to an affiliated food and restaurant business which is to be merged with the Company in January 2023, offset by cash from operating activities.

Update on the Food and Restaurant Acquisition
Since the announcement of the signing of the SPA in May 2022, the Company has been working on the closing of the Food and Restaurant Acquisition transaction. However, due to resurgences of COVID-19, it experienced significant delays in the delivery of various documents to various agencies. While China removed many COVID-related restrictions in December and the Company is speeding up the closing process, it expects the formal closing will be completed in January 2023, a bit later than originally planned. The Company will inform the market when the transaction formally closes.
Guidance
Given the large number of Covid outbreaks in many parts of China throughout 2022, business did not improve as we initially expected, until the easing of restrictions early December. Consequently, we have adjusted our revenue guidance for the full year of 2022 to 81%-84% of the 2021 levels.
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 and the full year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and core net income, as we present it, is a useful financial metric 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 does 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.
7 / 16
The term Adjusted EBITDA and core net income is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA and core net income is not a measure 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.
