reaching the milestone of 10,000 hotels in the second quarter, we continued our fast-paced, high-quality network growth and opened 774
new hotels in China in the third quarter of 2024. This quarter, Legacy-Huazhu’s blended RevPAR declined by 8% year-over-year primarily
due to a high ADR base in the same period last year and unfavorable weather. Our occupancy rate remained solid at 85% despite our ongoing
rapid hotel network expansion. Going forward, we will continue to emphasize the importance of sustainable high-quality growth. We aim
to expand our presence across all regions and continue penetrating into lower-tier cities in China, thereby reaching more of China’s
hotel market with our high-quality hotel products with excellent services.”
“Regarding our business outside China,
our Legacy-DH business recorded a 3.7% year-over-year blended RevPAR increase in the third quarter of 2024. We continued focusing on
cost reduction in our European business, while at the same time seeking growth opportunities in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) and in the Middle
East areas.”

Hotel operating costs in the third quarter
of 2024 were RMB3.8 billion (US$541 million), compared to RMB3.6 billion in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB3.7 billion in the previous
quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to rising personnel costs as our hotel network continues to expand. Hotel operating
costs from the Legacy-Huazhu segment in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB2.8 billion, which represented 54.3% of the quarter’s
Huazhu revenue, compared to RMB2.7 billion or 52.0% of Huazhu revenue in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB2.7 billion or 56.7% in the
previous quarter. Hotel operating costs from the Legacy-DH segment in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB996 million, which represented

of 2023, and RMB193 million or 4.0% for the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses from the Legacy-DH segment in the third

the third quarter of 2024 were RMB672 million (US$96 million), compared to RMB539 million in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB602 million
in the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses from the Legacy-Huazhu segment in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB457
million, which represented 8.9% of this quarter’s Huazhu revenue, compared to RMB417 million or 8.2% of Huazhu revenue in the third
quarter of 2023 and RMB483 million or 10.0% of Huazhu revenue in the previous quarter. The year-over-year expense increase was mainly
due to rising headcount as well as an increase in share-based compensation to attract and retain core employees who are key to our sustainable
long-term business growth. General and administrative expenses from the Legacy-DH segment in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB215 million,
which represented 16.8% of DH revenue, compared to RMB122 million or 10.4% of DH revenue in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB119 million
or 9.0% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter DH expense increase was primarily due to one-off DH restructuring
costs of RMB81 million.
Pre-opening expenses in the third quarter
of 2024 were primarily related to the Legacy-Huazhu segment and totaled RMB19 million (US$3 million), compared to RMB11 million in the
third quarter of 2023 and RMB19 million in the previous quarter.

quarter of 2024 was RMB85 million (US$12 million), compared to RMB80 million in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB99 million in the previous
quarter.

in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB1.5 billion in the previous quarter. After the one-off restructuring costs of RMB81 million mentioned
above, Legacy-DH segment had a loss from operations of RMB40 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to income of RMB3 million
in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB73 million in the previous quarter.

operations as a percentage of revenue, was 26.7% in the third quarter of 2024, compared with 30.4% in the third quarter of 2023 and 25.6%
for the previous quarter. Operating margin from the Legacy-Huazhu segment in the third quarter of 2024 was 34.2%, compared with 37.3%
in the third quarter of 2023 and 31.0% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year margin contraction was mainly due to the decline in
hotel RevPAR from a high base last year, and the increase in share-based compensation mentioned above. Operating margin from the Legacy-DH
segment in the third quarter of 2024 was a negative 3.1%, compared with a positive 0.3% in the third quarter of 2023 and a positive 5.5%
in the previous quarter. The margin contraction was due primarily to the one-off restructuring costs.

of 2024 was RMB1 million, compared to RMB24 million in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB24 million in the previous quarter.
Losses from fair value changes of equity securities
in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB34 million (US$5 million), compared to RMB9 million in the third quarter of 2023, and RMB51
million in the previous quarter. Losses from fair value changes of equity securities mainly represent the unrealized losses from our
investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values.

of 2024 was RMB382 million (US$54 million), compared to RMB421 million in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB423 million in the previous
quarter.

in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB1.3 billion (US$181 million), compared with RMB1.3 billion in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB1.1
billion in the previous quarter. Net income attributable to H World Group Limited from the Legacy-Huazhu segment was RMB1.4 billion in
the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB1.0 billion in the previous quarter. Net
loss attributable to H World Group Limited from the Legacy-DH segment was RMB83 million, which included RMB81 million of one-off restructuring costs, in the third quarter of 2024, compared with a

of 2024 was RMB2.0 billion (US$286 million), compared with RMB2.1 billion in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB1.9 billion in the previous
quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), which excluded

(loss) on disposal of investments from EBITDA (non-GAAP), was RMB2.1 billion (US$300 million) in the third quarter of 2024, compared
with RMB2.3 billion in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB2.0 billion in the previous quarter. Adjusted EBITDA from the Legacy-Huazhu segment,
which is a segment measure, was RMB2.1 billion in the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB2.3 billion in the third quarter of 2023
and RMB1.9 billion in the previous quarter. Adjusted EBITDA from the Legacy-DH segment, which is a segment measure, was RMB21 million
in the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB73 million in the third quarter of 2023 and RMB131 million in the previous quarter.
To better reflect the profitability of our core
business, we have redefined the non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA, and therefore the above adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of
2023 has been restated.

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 (“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.
