The new hotel signings reached a quarterly record high, propelling us towards our mid-term goal of having 2,000 premier hotels by 2025. Furthermore, we have been proactively discovering and satisfying customers’ evolving demands and have expanded our customer base beyond just accommodation, enabling us to promote the prosperity of our scenario-based retail business. Going forward, we will continue to uphold our commitment to providing a “Chinese experience” while driving Atour’s healthy and sustainable growth,” Mr. Wang concluded.

 

 

1 Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) is defined as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses.

2 EBITDA (non-GAAP) is defined as earnings before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization.

3 Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is defined as EBITDA excluding share-based compensation expenses.

4 The ADR and RevPAR are calculated based on the tax inclusive room rates.

“ADR” (exclusive of requisitioned or temporarily closed hotels) refers to the average daily room rate, which means room revenue divided by the number of rooms in use;

“Occupancy rate” (exclusive of requisitioned or temporarily closed hotels) refers to the number of rooms in use divided by the number of available rooms for a given period;

“RevPAR” (exclusive of requisitioned or temporarily closed hotels) refers to revenue per available room, which is calculated by total revenues during a period divided by the number of available rooms of our hotels during the same period.

5 “GMV” refers to gross merchandise value, which is the total value of confirmed orders placed by our end customers with us or our franchisees, as the case may be, and sold as part of our retail business, regardless of whether the products are delivered or returned, calculated based on the prices of the ordered products net of any discounts offered to our end customer.

Net revenues. Our net revenues for the second quarter of 2023 increased by 112.3% to RMB1,093 million (US$151 million) from RMB515 million for the same period of 2022, mainly driven by the robust growth in both hotel and scenario-based retail businesses as we continued to recover rapidly since the beginning of 2023.

 

Manachised hotels. Revenues from our manachised hotels for the second quarter of 2023 increased by 112.3% to RMB626 million (US$86 million) from RMB295 million for the same period of 2022. This increase was primarily driven by the ongoing expansion of our hotel network and the growth of RevPAR. The total number of our manachised hotels increased from 801 as of June 30, 2022, to 1,001 as of June 30, 2023. RevPAR of our manachised hotels surpassed 2019’s level and increased to RMB377 for the second quarter of 2023 from RMB246 for the same period of 2022.

 

Leased hotels. Revenues from our leased hotels for the second quarter of 2023 increased by 53.6% to RMB220 million (US$30 million) from RMB143 million for the same period of 2022. This increase was primarily due to the rebound in RevPAR, which surpassed 2019’s level and increased to RMB537 for the second quarter of 2023 from RMB333 for the same period of 2022.

 

Retail revenues and others. Revenues from retail and others for the second quarter of 2023 increased by 222.2% to RMB247 million (US$34 million) from RMB77 million for the same period of 2022, with scenario-based retail revenues growing by 297.8% year-over-year to RMB212 million.

Hotel operating costs for the second quarter of 2023 increased by 56.7% to RMB510 million (US$70 million) from RMB325 million for the same period of 2022.

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 (loss), which is defined as net income (loss) 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 expense 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 expense 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 relevant 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 since such other companies may not calculate these measures in the same manner as the Company does.
