SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huazhu Group Limited (NASDAQ: HTHT) (“Huazhu” or the “Company”), a leading and fast-growing multi-brand hotel group in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Second Quarter of 2018 Operational Highlights

• During the second quarter of 2018, Huazhu opened 147 hotels, including 7 leased (“leased-and-operated”) hotels and 140 manachised (“franchised-and-managed”) hotels and franchised hotels.
   
• The Company closed a total of 61 hotels, including 7 leased hotels and 54 manachised and franchised hotels, during the second quarter of 2018. This was mainly due to:
  
  a)  The Company's strategic focus to upgrade the quality of the product and service. The Company closed 2 hotels for brand upgrade purposes and permanently removed 15 hotels from its network for their non-compliance with the brand and operating standards. These hotels were mainly under HanTing and Hi Inn brands. By removing hotels of lower quality, the Company is able to provide a more consistent customer experience, which will help enhance both the brands and future profitability. 
  
  b)  Property related issues, including rezoning, and expiry of leases, which resulted in the closure of 29 hotels.
  
  c)  Operating losses from hotels located mainly in selected 3^rd or lower tier cities which resulted in the closure of 15 hotels.

• As of June 30, 2018, the Company had 673 leased hotels, 3,024 manachised hotels, and 206 franchised hotels in operation in 384 cities. The number of hotel rooms in operation totaled 393,417, an increase of 9.4% from a year ago.
   
• The ADR, which is defined as the average daily rate for all hotels in operation, was RMB226 in the second quarter of 2018, compared with RMB199 in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB207 in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase of 13.8% was due to both an increase in ADR of the mature hotels, as well as an increase in the proportion of mid- and up-scale hotels with higher ADR in the Company’s brand mix. The sequential increase resulted mainly from seasonality.
   
• The occupancy rate for all hotels in operation was 89.6% in the second quarter of 2018, compared with 90.1% in the second quarter of 2017 and 83.7% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease of 0.5 percentage point was due to an increase in the proportion of mid- and up-scale hotels with lower average occupancy rate compared to the economy hotels, as well as more newly added mid- and up-scale hotels that were still under the ramp-up period. The sequential increase was mainly due to seasonality.
   
• RevPAR, defined as revenue per available room for all hotels in operation, was RMB203 in the second quarter of 2018, compared with RMB179 in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB173 in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase of 13.2% was attributable to higher ADR. The sequential increase was mainly due to seasonality.
   
• For all hotels which had been in operation for at least 18 months, the same-hotel RevPAR was RMB194 for the second quarter of 2018, representing a 7.9% increase from RMB180 for the second quarter of 2017, with a 7.5% increase in ADR and a 0.3-percentage-point increase in occupancy rate. The economy hotels registered an 8.0% same-hotel RevPAR improvement, driven by an 8.1% increase in ADR. The midscale and upscale hotels recorded a 7.2% same-hotel RevPAR improvement, driven by a 4.8% increase in ADR and a 2.0-percentage-point increase in occupancy rate. Crystal Orange Hotels were not included in the same-hotel RevPAR statistics as they have not been in Huazhu system for 18 months.
   
• As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s loyalty program had approximately 113 million members, who contributed approximately 75% of room nights sold during the second quarter of 2018 and approximately 86% of room nights were sold through the Company’s own direct channels.

“We are excited about the strong performance in the second quarter. Our same-hotel RevPAR grew by 7.9% year-over-year despite a high comparison base during the same period in 2017. The strong demand allowed us to drive higher room rates while maintaining occupancy rate as high as 92.2% for our mature hotels. Our hotel expansion is also well on track. In the first half of 2018, we opened a total of 274 hotels (gross opening) with 65% under mid- and up-scale brands. The number of hotels in pipeline reached 839, a record high number,” commented Ms. Jenny Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Huazhu.

“In addition, the developments of our acquired brands were also very remarkable. For example, we have refreshed Mercure hotel layout tailored to the taste of the Chinese middle-class customers. We have also improved the Mercure brand’s operating model so that it is ready for fast expansion by improving the RevPar performances and costs efficiencies since we took over the brand in early 2016. The integration of Crystal Orange is successful as evidenced by fast expansion, strong RevPAR growth and cost synergies from headquarters and hotels,” added Ms. Zhang. “A week ago, we announced the acquisition of Blossom Hill Hotels and Resorts. Blossom Hill is a reputable upscale holiday and resort brands in China, which will further enrich our brand portfolio, catering to an increasing population of Chinese customers looking for quality stays during their holidays.”

Hotel operating costs for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB1,575.1 million (US$238.0 million), compared to RMB1,348.3 million in the second quarter of 2017, representing a 16.8% year-over-year increase. Total hotel operating costs excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB1,568.1 million (US$237.0 million), representing 62.2% of net revenues, compared to 67.1% for the second quarter in 2017 and 71.8% for the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease in the percentage was mainly attributable to the improved blended RevPAR and increased proportion of manachised and franchised hotels.

Selling and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB83.1 million (US$12.6 million), compared to RMB63.1 million in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB65.8 million in the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB82.8 million (US$12.5 million), or 3.3% of net revenues, compared to 3.2% for the second quarter of 2017 and 3.0% for the previous quarter.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB189.5 million (US$28.6 million), compared to RMB135.7 million in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB158.8 million in the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB178.2 million (US$26.9 million), representing 7.1% of net revenues, compared with 6.2% of net revenues in the second quarter of 2017 and 7.1% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase in percentage was mainly due to increase in personnel cost relating to new hotel developments, design, information technology, and a quarterly accrual of a long-term profit sharing bonus. In 2017, we accrued the entire sum of the long-term profit sharing bonus in Q4 2017.

Pre-opening expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB65.6 million (US$9.9 million), representing a 52.1% year-over-year increase and a 12.8% sequential decrease. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to more midscale or upscale leased hotels were under construction in the second quarter of 2018.

Other operating income, net for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB65.2 million (US$9.9 million), compared to RMB29.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB24.1 million in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to a RMB35.0 million compensation received from the selling shareholders of Crystal Orange as the final settlement of the sales and purchase transaction.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB671.0 million (US$101.4 million), representing a 53.2% year-over-year increase and a 118.9% sequential increase. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, adjusted income from operations (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB689.7 million (US$104.2 million), compared to adjusted income from operation (non-GAAP) of RMB454.0 million for the second quarter of 2017 and RMB323.7 million for the previous quarter. The operating margin, defined as income from operations as percentage of net revenues, for the second quarter of 2018 was 26.6%, compared with 21.9% in the second quarter of 2017 and 14.7% in the previous quarter. The improved year-over-year operating margin was mainly attributable to the improved blended RevPAR and asset-light strategy.

Other income, net for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB195.0 million (US$29.5 million), compared to other income, net of RMB74.3 million for the second quarter of 2017 and other expense, net of RMB8.8 million for the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to gross dividends received from AccorHotels of RMB103.8 million (US$15.7 million).

Unrealized losses from fair value changes of equity securities for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB200.8 million (US$30.3 million), compared to RMB 136.7 million in the previous quarter. Unrealized losses from fair value changes of equity securities mainly represents the unrealized losses from our investment in equity securities with readily determinable fair values, such as AccorHotels and Quanjude. According to ASU 2016-01 which was effective from January 1, 2018, we are required to reflect the unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes related to equity investment (except equity method investment) in net income. The unrealized losses from equity securities in the second quarter of 2018 were due to the lower share prices at end of the second quarter of 2018 compared to those at end of the first quarter of 2018. The unrealized gains (losses) will have a significant impact on our GAAP net income going forward.

Net income attributable to Huazhu Group Limitedfor the second quarter of 2018 was RMB338.4 million (US$51.1 million), compared to RMB386.1 million in the second quarter of 2017 and RMB128.5 million in the previous quarter. Excluding share-based compensation expenses and the unrealized losses from fair value changes of equity securities, adjusted net income attributable to Huazhu Group Limited (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB557.8 million (US$84.3 million), representing a 38.7% year-over-year increase and a 97.6% sequential increase.

Adoption of New Revenue Recognition Accounting Standards
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) on January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, prior period results have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

The most meaningful impacts of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 are as follows:
Under previous guidance, initial one-time franchise fee was recognized when the hotels opened for business and the Company had fulfilled its commitments and obligations. Upon adoption of new revenue standards the one-time franchise fee will be recognized over the term of the franchise contract.

Under previous guidance, the Company adopted the incremental cost model to account for customer loyalty program. The estimated incremental costs, net of the reimbursement received from the franchisees, are accrued and recorded as accruals for customer loyalty program as members accumulate points and are recognized as cost and expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Under new revenue standards, loyalty program is considered a separate performance obligation and the consideration allocated to the loyalty program will be recognized as revenue upon point redemption, net of any cost paid to the franchisees and other third parties.

Acquisition of Blossom Hill
In August 2018, Huazhu entered into share transfer agreements with Beijing Tsingpu Travel Culture Development Co., Ltd. and Suzhou Tiancheng Jiaqi Tourism Industry Investment LLP, two shareholders of Blossom Hill Hotel Investment Management (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. (“Blossom Hill”), to acquire 71.2% of outstanding shares of Blossom Hill for a total consideration of approximately RMB462.9 million in cash. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed on or around August 31, 2018. Upon completion of the acquisition, Huazhu will own an aggregate of 82.5% of the shares of Blossom Hill, and Blossom Hill Hotels & Resorts will become part of Huazhu’s hotel network.

Blossom Hill is a boutique hotel and resort operator founded in 2009, with its roots in Lijiang, Yunan Province. As of July 31, 2018, Blossom Hill Hotels & Resorts had 22 hotels or 590 rooms in operation and 12 hotels in pipeline, spanning across 10 tourist cities in China, including Lijiang, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo and Shangri-La. The price range for Blossom Hill is between RMB600 – RMB1,500 per room/night.

Considering the realization of the future earnings from the pipeline hotels, and revenue and costs synergies after integration into Huazhu operating platform, the purchase valuation represents an EBITDA multiple of approximately 13 times.

Guidance
The Company expects net revenues for the third quarter to grow 10.5%-12.5% year-over-year. For the full year of 2018, the Company reaffirms the net revenues growth range of 18%-22%. Considering the acquisition of Blossom Hill, the full year target for gross hotel opening has been revised upwards from 650-700 to 680-730. As part of our quality control exercise, we will also tighten up our quality control by terminating certain franchisees who fail to maintain quality standards through product upgrades and procuring from the authorized suppliers through Huazhu centralized procurement platform. In this connection, we will also revise-up the full year target for hotel closure from 200 to 240.

The above forecast reflects the Company’s current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: hotel operating costs excluding share-based compensation expenses; general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses; selling and marketing expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses; adjusted income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses; adjusted net income attributable to Huazhu Group Limited excluding share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities; adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share/ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities; EBITDA; and adjusted EBITDA excluding share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities. 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 these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Company performance by excluding share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities that may not be indicative of Company operating performance. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Company 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. A limitation of using non-GAAP financial measures excluding share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities is that share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities have been and will continue to be significant and recurring in the Company’s business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company believes that EBITDA is a useful financial metric to assess the operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes, given the significant investments that the Company has made in leasehold improvements, depreciation and amortization expense that comprise a significant portion of the Company’s cost structure. In addition, the Company believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the lodging industry and may be used by investors as a measure of financial performance. 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. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as EBITDA before share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities, to assess operating results of the hotels in operation. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities helps facilitate year-on-year comparison of the results of operations as the share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities may not be indicative of Company operating performance.

The Company believes that unrealized gains and losses from changes in fair value of equity securities are generally meaningless in understanding our reported results or evaluating our economic performance of our businesses. These gains and losses have caused and will continue to cause significant volatility in periodic earnings.

Therefore, the Company believes adjusted EBITDA more closely reflects the performance capability of hotels. The presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains considered to be outside the ordinary course of business.

The use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets (including land use rights), income tax, interest expense and interest income have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA. Share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities 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 the results. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities and other relevant items both in the reconciliations to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and in the consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the performance of the Company.

The terms EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA is a measure of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When assessing the operating and financial performance, investors should not consider these data in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s net income, operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company’s EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as the Company does.

Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, to the consolidated statement of operations information are included at the end of this press release.
