Third Quarter of 2024 Operational Highlights
As of September 30, 2024, there were 1,533 hotels with a total of 175,199 hotel rooms in operation across Atour’s hotel network, representing rapid increases of 37.9% and 36.1% year-over-year in terms of the number of hotels and hotel rooms, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there were 732 manachised hotels under development in our pipeline.
The average daily room rate4 (“ADR”) was RMB456 for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB495 for the same period of 2023 and RMB441 for the second quarter of 2024.
The occupancy rate4 was 80.3% for the third quarter of 2024, compared with 82.4% for the same period of 2023 and 78.4% for the second quarter of 2024.
The revenue per available room4 (“RevPAR”) was RMB380 for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB424 for the same period of 2023 and RMB359 for the second quarter of 2024.
The GMV5 generated from our retail business was RMB566 million for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 107.7% year-over-year.
“We delivered another strong performance for the third quarter of 2024, driven by synergistic growth across our hotel and retail businesses,” said Mr. Haijun Wang, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Atour. “We accelerated the expansion of our hotel network, with 140 new hotel openings during the quarter, once again setting a quarterly record. As of the end of the third quarter, we had a total of 1,533 hotels in operation, representing a 37.9% year-over-year increase. In October, we officially unveiled our new upscale brand, SAVHE Hotel, strengthening our presence in the upscale market with a long-term approach to growth and branding. Our RevPAR remained at a healthy level this quarter despite evolving market environments and last year’s high comparison base, reaching RMB380. Additionally, our retail business sustained its robust growth momentum, with GMV increasing by 107.7% year over year to RMB566 million this quarter, as driven by Atour Planet’s effective and systematic deep sleep idea.
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 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 and paid for by our end customers with us or our franchisees, as the case may be, and sold as part of our retail business, where the ordered products have been dispatched, regardless of whether they are delivered or returned, calculated based on the prices of the ordered products net of any discounts offered to our end customers.
Looking ahead, we will remain committed to executing our core 'Chinese Experience' strategy, consistently innovating and elevating our hotel offerings, strengthening our service capabilities to deliver a superior customer experience, and driving high-quality growth in our retail business. We are confident these efforts will holistically amplify our brand influence, reinforcing Atour’s distinctive competitive edges,” concluded Mr. Wang.

| · | Leased hotels. Revenues from our leased hotels for the third quarter of 2024 decreased by 20.4% to RMB190 million (US$27 million) from RMB238 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to the decrease in the number of leased hotels as a result of our product mix optimization, as well as the decrease in RevPAR.

| · | Hotel operating costs for the third quarter of 2024 were RMB876 million (US$125 million), compared with RMB617 million for the same period of 2023.

Hotel operating costs accounted for 64.0% of manachised and leased hotels’ revenues for the third quarter of 2024, compared with 60.5% 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 revenues generated by the lower-margin supply chain business. |

Excluding the share-based compensation expenses, this increase was primarily due to an increase in labor costs.

| · | Technology and development expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were RMB30 million (US$4 million), compared with RMB20 million for the same period of 2023.

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 Effective July 1, 2024, we merged our upscale hotel brand, ZHOTEL, with Atour S as part of our efforts to streamline and optimize our brand portfolio. Consequently, the key information for our Atour S brand in the table includes data for the hotel operated under ZHOTEL up to June 30, 2024.
4 Excludes hotel rooms that became unavailable due to temporary hotel closures. ADR and RevPAR are calculated based on tax-inclusive room rates.
5 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 third quarter of 2024, compared to the corresponding metrics generated by these “same hotels” during the same period in 2023.
