Jin Hui, CEO of H World commented: “We are
pleased to announce that the Group and Legacy-Huazhu has achieved a
remarkable 10,000-hotel milestone during the second quarter of
2024. This milestone also marked a new start for the Group. We
believe the Chinese market still presents huge opportunities and
growth potentials, and we are ready to scale new heights, moving
from 10,000+ hotels in over 1,000 cities to 20,000+ hotels in over
2,000 cities. In the second quarter of 2024, we continued our fast
high-quality network growth, opening 567 new hotels in China. While
Legacy-Huazhu’s blended RevPAR declined by 2% year-over-year in the
second quarter due mainly to a high ADR base in the same period
last year, our occupancy rate increased by 0.7 percentage-point
year-over-year despite our continued rapid rate of hotel network
expansion. In spite of the near-term volatilities in macro and
consumption, China’s overall travel demand remains robust. As for
Legacy-Huazhu, we will continue focusing on product upgrades,
service excellence, and membership programs to enhance our core
competitive edges and drive a long-term sustainable RevPAR
growth.”
“Regarding our business outside China, our
Legacy-DH recorded a 4.5% year-over-year blended RevPAR increase in
the second quarter of 2024. We are committed to extend our global
footprint, seeking growth opportunities in the Asia-Pacific (APAC)
and the Middle East.”

23 2024, the Board approved a five-year share repurchase program of
ADSs with an aggregate amount of up to US$1 billion, effective from
August 21, 2024. This share repurchase program replaces the
Company’s share repurchase program previously approved and adopted
on August 21, 2019 with an aggregate amount of up to US$750
million.
Guidance For the third quarter
of 2024, H World expects its revenue growth to be in the range of
2%-5% compared to the third quarter of 2023, or in the range of
1%-4% excluding DH.
We revise up our hotel opening guidance for the
full year of 2024, expecting to open over 2,200 hotels, and up from
our previous guidance of around 1,800 hotels.
The above forecast reflects the Company’s
current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial
MeasuresTo 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 (“SEC”): adjusted net income (loss)
attributable to H World Group Limited excluding share-based
compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of
equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain
(loss) on disposal of investments; adjusted basic and diluted
earnings (losses) per share/ADS excluding share-based compensation
expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities,
foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of
investments; EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA excluding share-based
compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of
equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain
(loss) on disposal of investments. 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
“Unaudited 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, gain (loss) from fair value changes of
equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain
(loss) on disposal of investments 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,
gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities, foreign
exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of
investments is that share-based compensation expenses, gain (loss)
from fair value changes of equity securities, foreign exchange gain
(loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of investments have been
and may 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 information provides investors with a useful
tool for comparability between periods because it excludes
depreciation and amortization expense attributable to capital
expenditures. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA to assess
operating results of its hotels in operation. The Company believes
that the exclusion of share-based compensation expenses, gain
(loss) from fair value changes of equity securities, foreign
exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of
investments helps facilitate year-over-year comparisons of the
results of operations as the share-based compensation expenses,
gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities, foreign
exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of
investments may not be indicative of Company operating
performance.
Therefore, the Company believes adjusted EBITDA
more closely reflects the financial performance capability of our
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, gain (loss) from fair value changes of
equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain
(loss) on disposal of investments 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 depreciation and amortization,
interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, share-based
compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of
equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain
(loss) on disposal of investments all 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.
