SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 21, 2019 (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, 2019.

Second Quarter of 2019 Operational Highlights

During the second quarter of 2019, Huazhu opened 311 hotels, including 8 leased (“leased-and-operated”) hotels and 303 manachised (“franchised-and-managed”) hotels and franchised hotels.
Huazhu closed a total of 42 hotels, including 10 leased hotels and 32 manachised and franchised hotels, during the second quarter of 2019. This was due to three reasons:
a) With strategic focus to upgrade product and service quality, Huazhu temporarily closed 25 hotels for brand upgrade and business model change purposes; and removed 1 hotel for its non-compliance with Huazhu’s brand and operating standards.
b) Property-related issues, including rezoning and expiry of leases, which resulted in the closure of 14 hotels.
c) Two manachised hotels were closed due to operating losses.
As of June 30, 2019, Huazhu had 696 leased hotels, 3,692 manachised hotels, and 277 franchised hotels in operation in 413 China cities. The number of hotel rooms in operation totaled 463,296, an increase of 17.8% from a year ago. The rooms under midscale and upscale brands accounted for 43% of total rooms in operation, up 9 percentage points from 34% a year ago.
As of June 30, 2019, Huazhu had a total number of 1,553 unopened pipeline hotels contracted or under construction, including 55 leased hotels and 1,498 manachised and franchised hotels. The unopened hotels in our pipeline represented 33% of the number of hotels in operation as of the end of Q2 2019 compared to 21% a year ago, a 12-percentage-point increase.
The ADR, which is defined as the average daily rate for all hotels in operation, was RMB236 in the second quarter of 2019, compared with RMB226 in the second quarter of 2018 and RMB221 in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase of 4.4% was due to both an increase in ADR of our mature hotels (where mature means those of our hotels which have been in operation for at least 18 months), as well as an increase in the proportion of midscale and upscale hotels with higher ADR in Huazhu’s brand mix. The sequential increase resulted mainly from seasonality.
The occupancy rate for all hotels in operation was 86.9% in the second quarter of 2019, compared with 89.6% in the second quarter of 2018 and 80.6% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease of 2.7 percentage points was due to the deepening China economic slowdown. The sequential increase was mainly due to seasonality.
RevPAR, defined as revenue per available room for all hotels in operation, was RMB206 in the second quarter of 2019, compared with RMB203 in the second quarter of 2018 and RMB178 in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase of 1.3% was attributable to higher ADR. The sequential increase was mainly due to seasonality.
For all of our mature hotels, the same-hotel RevPAR was RMB202 for the second quarter of 2019, representing a 2.1% decrease from RMB206 for the second quarter of 2018, with a 0.4% increase in ADR and a 2.3-percentage-point decrease in occupancy rate. The year-over-year weaker performance was mainly due to macroeconomic softness.
As of June 30, 2019, Huazhu’s loyalty program had approximately 132 million members, who contributed approximately 75% of room nights sold during the second quarter of 2019, and approximately 84% of room nights were sold through Huazhu’s direct channels.

“In the second quarter, our blended RevPAR increased by 1.3% as a result of ADR increase. Thanks to the remarkable performance of our Huazhu employees and strong brand portfolio, our rapid hotel expansion continued despite a softening economy. In the first half of 2019, we added 435 hotels net, with a record high of 1,553 unopened hotels in our pipeline at the end of Q2, mainly contributed by manachised and franchised hotels. 43% of the total number of Huazhu rooms in operation were midscale and upscale hotels, up from 34% in Q2 2018,” commented Ms. Jenny Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Huazhu.

“Furthermore, we continuously deliver better experiences to meet our customers’ evolving needs. We just unveiled our first HanTing 3.0 intelligent hotel this July. Its new design and tech-driven services at reasonable prices have been well-received by our customers and franchisees, and therefore we expect this new model will fuel our accelerated economy hotel expansion in the coming years. For the upscale segment, next year, we will open four Joya hotels in the central business districts of Shanghai, Hangzhou and Chengdu, with an oriental-style design tailored for our business travelers. We believe our strong performance, attractive brands and resilient business model will further strengthen our position as a leading hotel consolidator,” added Ms. Zhang.

Net revenues	2,521	2,859

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB2.9 billion (US$417 million), representing a 13.4% year-over-year increase, primarily attributable to our hotel network expansion and blended RevPAR growth.

Net revenues from leased and owned hotels for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB2.0 billion (US$292 million), representing a 5.4% year-over-year increase.

Net revenues from manachised and franchised hotels for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB803 million (US$117 million), representing a 30.4% year-over-year increase.

Other operating costs	2	17
Selling and marketing expenses	83	102
General and administrative expenses	190	247
Pre-opening expenses	66	122
Total operating costs and expenses	1,916	2,231

Hotel operating costs for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB1.7 billion (US$253 million), compared to RMB1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2018, representing a 10.7% year-over-year increase. Total hotel operating costs excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) of RMB10 million for the second quarter of 2019 represented 60.7% of net revenues, compared to 62.2% for the second quarter in 2018. The year-over-year improvement in this metric was mainly attributable to the increased proportion of revenues from manachised and franchised hotels, and also by continued diligent efforts by our many Huazhu employees to deliver great customer experiences at reasonable prices.

Selling and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB102 million (US$15 million), compared to RMB83 million in the second quarter of 2018. Selling and marketing expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB101 million (US$15 million), representing 3.6% of net revenues, compared to 3.3% for the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase was mainly related to the expansion of our sales and marketing team, increased bank charges for online payments, and higher commission fees to online travel agencies.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB247 million (US$36 million), compared to RMB190 million in the second quarter of 2018. General and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB227 million (US$33 million), representing 7.9% of net revenues, compared with 7.1% of net revenues in the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to our investments to expand our hotel development teams, upscale-brand hotels and IT capabilities.

Pre-opening expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB122 million (US$18 million), representing an 84.8% year-over-year increase, mainly involving our upscale brand hotels.

Other operating income, net for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB29 million (US$4 million), compared to RMB66 million in the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year variance was mainly due to a one-off compensation totaling RMB35 million received in the second quarter of 2018.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB657 million (US$96 million), compared to RMB671 million in the second quarter of 2018. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, adjusted income from operations (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB688 million (US$100 million), compared to RMB690 million for the second quarter of 2018. The operating margin, defined as income from operations as percentage of net revenues, for the second quarter of 2019 was 23.0%, compared with 26.6% in the second quarter of 2018; this was primarily due to macroeconomic softness.

Other income, net for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB135 million (US$20 million), compared to RMB195 million for the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to higher gains realized from our sales of some equity securities during the second quarter of 2018.

Unrealized gains from fair value changes of equity securities for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB149 million (US$22 million), compared to unrealized losses from fair value changes of equity securities of RMB201 million in the second quarter of 2018. These unrealized gains (losses) were mainly related to our investments in Accor.

Net income attributable to Huazhu Group Limitedfor the second quarter of 2019 was RMB613 million (US$89 million), compared to RMB338 million in the second quarter of 2018. Excluding share-based compensation expenses and the unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities, adjusted net income attributable to Huazhu Group Limited (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB495 million (US$71 million), compared to RMB558 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Basic and diluted earnings per share/ADS for the second quarter of 2019, basic earnings per share were RMB2.16(US$0.31) and diluted earnings per share were RMB2.05(US$0.30).

Excluding share-based compensation expenses and unrealized gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities, adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB1.1 billion (US$155 million), compared with RMB965 million for the second quarter of 2018.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Huazhu’s unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Huazhu 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. Huazhu 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. Huazhu 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 Huazhu’s historical performance. Huazhu 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 Huazhu’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.

Huazhu 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 Huazhu has made in leasehold improvements, depreciation and amortization expense that comprise a significant portion of Huazhu’s cost structure. In addition, Huazhu 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. Huazhu 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. Huazhu 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 Huazhu hotels in operation. Huazhu 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.

Huazhu 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, Huazhu 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 Huazhu’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. Huazhu 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 Huazhu.

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 Huazhu’s net income, operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, Huazhu’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 Huazhu does.

Reconciliations of Huazhu’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.
