SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- China Lodging Group, Limited (Nasdaq:HTHT) ("China Lodging Group" or the "Company"), a leading and fast-growing multi-brand hotel group in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Second Quarter 2013 Operational Highlights

  • During the second quarter of 2013, the Company opened 30 leased ("leased-and- operated") hotels and 93 net manachised ("franchised-and-managed") hotels. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had 514 leased hotels, 679 manachised hotels, and 23 franchised Starway hotels in operation across 213 cities. The leased and manachised hotel rooms in operation increased by 32% and 83%, respectively, from a year ago.
     
  • As of June 30, 2013, the Company had 70 leased hotels and 362 manachised hotels contracted or under construction.
     
  • Due to fast expansion, the Company had a higher percentage of hotels at the ramp-up stage during the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period last year. In the second quarter of 2013, the leased and manachised hotels in operation for less than six months contributed 19% of the Company's total leased and manachised hotels' room nights available for sale, compared to 15% in the second quarter of 2012. The ramp-up hotels, as expected, had lower occupancy rate and RevPAR before becoming mature.
     
  • The ADR, which is defined as the average daily rate for all hotels in operation (excluding franchised Starway hotels), was RMB182 in the second quarter of 2013, compared with RMB181 in the second quarter of 2012 and RMB172 in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase of 0.7% was mainly attributable to a 3.4% increase in same-hotel ADR, partially offset by the city mix shifting toward lower-tier cities and a higher percentage of new hotels at the ramp-up stage. The sequential increase resulted mainly from seasonality.
     
  • The occupancy rate for all hotels in operation (excluding franchised Starway hotels) was 91.3% in the second quarter of 2013, compared with 97.4% in the second quarter of 2012 and 86.5% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly because of China's soft macro environment, the temporary demand decline impacted by avian flu, and a higher percentage of hotels at the ramp-up stage in the second quarter of 2013, compared to a year ago. The sequential increase resulted mainly from seasonality.
     
  • RevPAR, defined as revenue per available room for all hotels in operation (excluding franchised Starway hotels), was RMB167 in the second quarter of 2013, compared with RMB176 in the second quarter of 2012 and RMB149 in the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease was a result of a lower occupancy rate offset by a higher ADR. The sequential increase resulted mainly from seasonality.
     
  • For all hotels which had been in operation for at least 18 months, the same-hotel RevPAR was RMB185 for the second quarter of 2013, compared with RMB185 for the second quarter of 2012, with a 3.4% increase in ADR and a 3.5 percentage-point decrease in occupancy rate. The increase in same-hotel ADR was driven by price increase to enhance yield. The decrease in same-hotel occupancy rate was mainly due to a soft macro environment in the second quarter of 2013.
     
  • As of June 30, 2013, the Company's loyalty program had over 11 million members, who contributed more than 80% of room nights sold during the second quarter of 2013. In the second quarter of 2013, more than 90% of room nights sold were sold through the Company's own channels.

Operating costs and expenses:      
Hotel operating costs  580,436  735,181  746,557
Selling and marketing expenses  27,327  23,813  31,947

Pre-opening expenses  56,269  53,967  55,881
Total operating costs and expenses  715,830  871,861  905,618

Hotel operating costs for the second quarter of 2013 were RMB746.6 million (US$121.6 million), compared to RMB580.4 million (US$91.4 million) for the second quarter of 2012 and RMB735.2 million (US$118.4 million) for the previous quarter, representing a 28.6% and 1.5% increase, respectively. The year-over-year increase in hotel operating costs was mainly driven by the Company's hotel network expansion, especially growth in leased hotels. The average number of leased hotels in operation4 during the second quarter of 2013 increased 34.7% from the same period of 2012 and 5.2% sequentially. Total hotel operating costs excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) were RMB745.6 million (US$121.5 million), representing 72.0% of net revenues, compared to 72.6% for the second quarter in 2012 and 84.7% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease in hotel operating costs as a percentage of net revenues was mainly attributable to cost-saving efforts such as effectively reducing staff to room ratio through innovative measures, and revenue mix shift toward higher percentage of higher-margin manachised revenue. The sequential decrease in hotel operating costs as a percentage of net revenues was mainly driven by seasonality.

Selling and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were RMB31.9 million (US$5.2 million), compared to RMB27.3 million (US$4.3 million) for the second quarter of 2012 and RMB23.8 million (US$3.8 million) for the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2013 were RMB31.7 million (US$5.2 million), or 3.1% of net revenues, compared to 3.4% for the second quarter of 2012 and 2.7% for the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to the benefit from economies of scale and the Company's cost-saving efforts.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were RMB71.2million (US$11.6 million), compared to RMB51.8 million (US$8.2 million) for the second quarter of 2012 and RMB58.9 million (US$9.5 million) for the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2013 were RMB64.7 million (US$10.5 million), representing 6.3% of the net revenues for the second quarter of 2013, compared with 6.0% of the net revenues for the second quarter of 2012 and 6.0% for the previous quarter.

Pre-opening expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were RMB55.9 million (US$9.1 million), representing a 0.7% year-over-year decrease and a 3.5% sequential increase. The pre-opening expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased 1.6% year-over-year due to enlarged revenue base and improved conversion speed.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB129.2 million (US$21.1million), compared to income from operations of RMB82.4 million (US$13.0 million) for the second quarter of 2012 and loss from operations of RMB4.9 million (US$0.8 million) for the previous quarter. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, adjusted income from operations (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB136.9 million (US$22.3 million), compared with RMB87.1 million (US$13.7 million) for the second quarter of 2012 and RMB2.7 million (US$0.4 million) for the previous quarter.

Operating margin for the second quarter of 2013 was 12.5%, up from 10.4% for the second quarter of 2012 and -0.5% for the previous quarter. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, adjusted operating margin for the second quarter of 2013 was 13.2%, up from 11.0% for the second quarter of 2012 and 0.4% for the previous quarter. The year-on-year adjusted operating margin increase of 2.2 percentage points was attributable to higher contribution from manachise business, effective cost control of labor and consumable costs at leased hotels. The sequential increase in adjusted operating margin was mainly due to seasonality.

Net income attributable to China Lodging Group, Limited for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB96.3 million (US$15.7 million), compared to net income attributable to China Lodging Group, Limited of RMB70.3 million (US$11.1 million) for the second quarter of 2012 and RMB0.07 million (US$0.01 million) for the previous quarter. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, adjusted net income attributable to China Lodging Group, Limited (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB104.0 million (US$16.9 million), compared to adjusted net income attributable to China Lodging Group, Limited of RMB75.0 million (US$11.8 million) for the second quarter of 2012 and RMB7.7 million (US$1.2 million) for the previous quarter.

Basic and diluted net earnings per share/ADS. For the second quarter of 2013, basic net earnings per share and diluted net earnings per share were RMB0.39 (US$0.06); basic net earnings per ADS was RMB1.57 (US$0.26) and diluted net earnings per ADS was RMB1.55 (US$0.25). Excluding share-based compensation expenses, adjusted basic net earnings per share (non-GAAP) and adjusted diluted net earnings per share (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2013 were RMB0.42 (US$0.07), and adjusted basic net earnings per ADS (non-GAAP) was RMB1.70 (US$0.28) and adjusted diluted net earnings per ADS (non-GAAP) was RMB1.67 (US$0.27).

EBITDA (non-GAAP)5 for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB242.7 million (US$39.5 million), compared to RMB165.1 million (US$26.0million) for the second quarter of 2012 and RMB98.9 million (US$15.9 million) for the previous quarter. Excluding pre-opening expenses and share-based compensation expenses, adjusted EBITDA from operating hotels (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB306.2 million (US$49.9 million), representing an increase of 35.5% year-over-year and an increase of 90.8% sequentially. The year-over-year increase was mainly a result of the expansion of the Company's hotel network and improvement in operating margin. The sequential increase was mainly due to seasonality.

Hotel income (non-GAAP), which is the difference between net revenues and hotel operating costs, was RMB288.3 million (US$47.0 million) for the second quarter of 2013, compared with RMB217.8 million (US$34.3 million) for the second quarter of 2012 and RMB131.8 million (US$21.2 million) for the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase of hotel income (non-GAAP) was mainly attributable to the enlarged manachised hotel network and increased number of mature leased hotels in the portfolio. For leased hotels in operation for at least six months, the hotel income (non-GAAP) was RMB210.1 million (US$34.2 million) during the second quarter of 2013, or 25% of net revenues derived from those hotels. Leased hotels in operation for less than six months accounted for 19% of leased room nights available for sale in the second quarter of 2013. Those hotels derived a hotel loss (non-GAAP) of RMB22.5 million (US$3.6 million), or 27% of net revenues derived from those hotels this quarter, mainly due to lower revenue achievement of those hotels during their ramp-up stage in new cities. For manachised and franchised hotels, the hotel income (non-GAAP) was RMB100.7 million (US$16.4 million), or 80% of net revenue derived from those hotels.

Cash flow. Net operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB303.0 million (US$49.4 million). Cash spent on the purchase of property and equipment, purchase of intangible assets, purchase of long term investment and acquisitions, which are part of investing cash flow, was RMB174.7million (US$28.5 million).

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investment. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a total balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investment of RMB311.6 million (US$50.8 million).

Loans and other debt financing

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a short-term loan balance of RMB1.2 million (US$0.2 million) and total credit facility available to the Company of RMB699 million.

Executive Comments

"Given the continuing soft macro environment and market challenges, we are pleased with our robust growth in the second quarter. We raised our same-hotel ADR moderately by 3%. Our same-hotel RevPAR remained stable in this tough environment. The strong growth in room count, revenue and profit demonstrated our solid operational capability and our unique advantages associated with our strategy," said Mr. Qi Ji, founder, executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Lodging Group. On the multi-brand front, he added, "The development of our JI Hotel, our standardized midscale brand, is well on track. A total of 48 JI Hotels was in operation as of June 30, 2013. Starway Hotel, after completing model transformation, now has 23 manachised and leased hotels in the pipeline. Hi Inn, our budget brand, saw accelerated expansion in the first half of 2013, with a total hotel count to 54. The first Joya Hotel, an upscale limited-service hotel, is expected to be unveiled in the second half of this year in Wuhan. We believe that the large, fragmented and growing travel market in China offers us a wide range of expansion opportunities."

Guidance for Third Quarter of 2013

The Company expects to achieve net revenues in the range of RMB1,110 to 1,125 million in the third quarter of 2013, representing a 24% to 26% growth year-over-year.

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 expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses; adjusted income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses; adjusted net income attributable to China Lodging Group, Limited excluding share-based compensation expenses; adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per share and per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses; EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA from operating hotels excluding pre-opening expenses and share-based compensation expenses; and hotel income. 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 tables captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results" set forth towards 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 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 is that share-based compensation expenses have been — and will continue to be — a significant recurring expense 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 tables towards the end of this release 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 from operating hotels, which is defined as EBITDA before pre-opening expenses and share-based compensation expenses, to assess operating results of the hotels in operation. The Company believes that the exclusion of pre-opening expenses and share-based compensation expenses, a portion of which is non-cash rental expenses, helps facilitate year-on-year comparison of the results of operations as the number of hotels in the development stage may vary significantly from year to year. Therefore, the Company believes adjusted EBITDA from operating hotels more closely reflects the performance capability of hotels currently in operation. The presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from operating hotels 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 from operating hotels has certain limitations. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets, income tax, interest income and interest expense have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA. Pre-opening expenses and share-based compensation expenses have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted EBITDA from operating hotels. 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, pre-opening expenses, share-based compensation expenses 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 from operating hotels are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA from operating hotels 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 from operating hotels may not be comparable to EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA from operating hotels — or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies — since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA from operating hotels in the same manner as the Company does.

To monitor performance of hotels at different maturity level and of different form, the Company also tracks hotel income, which is the difference between net revenues and hotel operating costs.

Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA from operating hotels, and hotel income, to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) information are included at the end of this press release.
