Third Quarter of 2023 Operational Highlights

As of September 30, 2023, there were 577 manachised hotels under development in our pipeline.

 

The average daily room rate4 (“ADR”) was RMB495 for the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB424 for the third quarter of 2022 and RMB475 for the previous quarter. The ADR for the third quarter of 2023 recovered to 111.2% of 2019’s level for the same period.

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

“ADR” refers to the average daily room rate, which means room revenue divided by the number of rooms in use for a given period;

“Occupancy rate” refers to the number of rooms in use divided by the number of available rooms for a given period;

“RevPAR” 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 customers.

 

 

 

“In the third quarter of 2023, we sustained our robust growth and delivered remarkable performance across our business lines,” said Mr. Haijun Wang, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Atour. “Our ADR and occupancy rate continued to rise significantly in the third quarter, boosting RevPAR to a record high. While maintaining strong momentum in hotel signings and openings, we also persisted in advancing product innovation. In November, we officially launched our new flagship product in the upper midscale segment, Atour 4.0 ‘With Nature.’ Through comprehensive upgrades and unique deep-sleep-inspired amenities, Atour 4.0 creates a space infused with contentment and relaxation for our guests, reflecting our relentless pursuit of delivering the ultimate accommodation experience. Additionally, our scenario-based retail business achieved outstanding results this quarter, with GMV reaching a new record high. Leveraging our deep understanding of customers’ real needs and our efficient mechanism for new product development, we successfully launched several blockbuster Atour Planet products, further solidifying our leading position in the sleep market. Moving forward, we will remain dedicated to Atour’s original aspirations, guaranteeing exceptional customer experiences in accommodation and beyond while creating an intimate ambiance where people can warmly connect,” Mr. Wang concluded.

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 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 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.
