SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Home Inns & Hotels

Management Inc. (Nasdaq: HMIN), a leading economy hotel chain in China, today

announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30,

2006.

Third Quarter 2006 Highlights

-- Total revenues increased 106.3% year-over-year and 15.9% sequentially

to RMB160.4 million (US$20.3 million).

-- Net income for the quarter was RMB7.9 million (US$ 1.0 million). Net

income available to ordinary shareholders was RMB4.5 million (US$0.6

million). Net income excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-

GAAP) was RMB21.6 million (US$2.7 million), an increase of 297.7% year-

over-year and 7.7% sequentially.

-- Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), defined as earnings before interest,

taxes, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation

expenses, was RMB41.8 million (US$5.3 million), an increase of

215.7% year-over-year and 8.3% sequentially.

-- Diluted earnings per share amounted to RMB0.14 (US$0.02), and diluted

earnings per ADS were RMB0.29 (US$0.04). Diluted earnings per share

excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) were RMB0.39

(US$0.05), and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based

compensation expenses (non-GAAP) were RMB0.78 (US$0.10). Each ADS

represents two ordinary shares.

-- During the third quarter of 2006, Home Inns opened 25 new hotels. As

of September 30, 2006, the Home Inns hotel chain consisted of 107

hotels in operation with an additional 56 hotels under development,

covering 45 cities in China.

-- Occupancy rate for the Home Inns hotel chain was 94.0% in the third

quarter of 2006, compared with 93.1% during the same period in 2005

and 97.7% in the previous quarter.

-- RevPAR, defined as revenue per available room, was RMB172, compared

with RMB169 in the same period of 2005 and RMB182 in the previous

quarter. The sequential decrease in both occupancy rate and RevPAR

was primarily due to the 25 new hotels opened in the third quarter of

2006.

“We are pleased to report strong results for the third quarter of

2006,” said Mr. David Sun, Home Inn’s Chief Executive Officer. “We

continued our revenue growth momentum and executed on our expansion plan

while maintaining high occupancy and profitability.”

Mr. Sun continued, “In the quarters ahead, we will continue to leverage

our widely recognized brand name, nationwide scale and early mover advantage

in China’s economy hotel market to expand our network and provide a

comfortable and consistent lodging experience to a rapidly growing number of

business and leisure travelers.”

As of September 30, 2006, the Home Inns hotel chain consisted of 78

leased-and-operated hotels and 29 franchised-and-managed hotels in operation,

with an additional 33 leased-and-operated hotels and 23 franchised-and-

managed hotels under development, covering 45 cities in China. The average

number of rooms per hotel in operation was 119.

Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results

For the third quarter of 2006, Home Inns reported total revenues of

RMB160.4 million (US$20.3 million), representing a 106.3% increase year-over-

year and a 15.9% increase sequentially.

Total revenues from leased-and-operated hotels for the third quarter of

2006 were RMB153.0 million (US$19.4 million), representing a 101.4% increase

year-over-year and a 13.5% increase sequentially. The Company opened 15 new

lease-and-operated hotels during the quarter.

Total revenues from franchised-and-managed hotels for the third quarter

of 2006 were RMB7.4 million (US$0.9 million), representing a 312.2% increase

year-over-year and a 106.8% increase sequentially. The Company opened 10 new

franchised-and-managed hotels during the quarter.

Occupancy rate for the entire Home Inns hotel chain was 94.0% in the

third quarter of 2006, compared with 93.1% in the same period in 2005 and

97.7% in the previous quarter. RevPAR in the third quarter of 2006 was

RMB172, compared with RevPAR of RMB169 in the same period in 2005 and RMB182

in the previous quarter. The decrease in occupancy rate and RevPAR from the

second quarter of 2006 was primarily due to the 25 new hotels opened in the

third quarter of 2006.

Total operating expenses for the quarter were RMB137.6 million (US$17.4

million). Total operating expenses excluding share-based compensation

expenses (non-GAAP) were RMB123.9 million (US$15.7 million) or 77.3% of total

revenues, compared to 83.4% in the same period of 2005, and 74.5% in the

previous quarter.

Total leased-and-operated hotel costs were RMB105.4 million (US$13.3

million), representing an 85.5% increase over the same period in 2005 and a

19.9% increase over the second quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily

due to the new leased-and-operated hotels opened during the quarter.

Selling and marketing expenses were RMB3.3 million (US$0.4 million), an

increase of 59.3% year-over-year and 47.2% sequentially. The increase was

primarily attributable to increases in advertising activities and marketing

personnel during the quarter.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter were RMB29.0 million

(US$3.7 million). This quarter’s general and administrative expenses

included share-based compensation expenses of RMB13.7 million (US$1.7

million). Included in this amount are the following two items: in July 2006,

the Company sold approximately 2.8 million ordinary shares in a private

placement to certain individuals including certain executives and directors

of the Company. As the issue price was lower than the then fair market value

as assessed by an independent appraiser, a charge of RMB9.6 million (US$1.2

million) was taken. In addition, the Company recorded RMB3.3 million (US$0.4

million) to reflect certain severance arrangements relating to former

executives. Neither item was associated with Home Inns’ normal course of

business operations, and hence the company does not expect to incur such

charges on a recurring basis. Excluding share-based compensation expenses,

general and administrative expenses (non-GAAP) were RMB15.3 million (US$1.9

million) or 9.5% of total revenues, compared to 7.7% in the same period of

2005 and 9.4% in the previous quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was RMB41.8 million (US$5.3 million) or

26.1% of total revenues, compared to 17.0% in the same period of 2005 and

27.9% in the previous quarter.

Income from operations for the quarter was RMB13.6 million (US$1.7

million). Income from operations excluding share-based compensation (non-

GAAP) was RMB27.3 million (US$3.5 million) or 17.0% of total revenues,

compared to 11.0% in the same period of 2005 and 20.1% in the previous

quarter.

Net income for the quarter was RMB7.9 million (US$1.0 million). Net

income available to ordinary shareholders was RMB4.5 million (US$0.6

million). Net income excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP)

was RMB21.6 million (US$2.7 million) or 13.5% of total revenues, compared to

7.0% in the same period of 2005 and 14.5% in the previous quarter.

Basic and diluted earnings per share amounted to RMB0.15 (US$0.02) and

RMB0.14 (US$0.02), respectively, and basic and diluted earnings per ADS were

RMB0.29 (US$0.04) and RMB0.29 (US$0.04), respectively. Basic and diluted

earnings per share excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP)

were RMB0.40 (US$0.05) and RMB0.39 (US$0.05), respectively, and basic and

diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-

GAAP) were RMB0.80 (US$0.10) and RMB0.78 (US$0.10), respectively.

Capital expenditures for the quarter were RMB51.6 million (US$6.5

million).

As of September 30, 2006, Home Inns had cash and cash equivalents of

RMB161.4 million (US$20.4 million). Net operating cash flow for the third

quarter of 2006 was RMB46.3 million (US$5.9 million). Home Inns completed its

Nasdaq IPO in October 2006, receiving approximately US$72.8 million net

proceeds from the offering.

Outlook for Fourth Quarter 2006

Home Inns expects its total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006 to be

in the range of RMB162 million (US$20.5 million) to RMB178 million (US$22.5

million). This forecast reflects Home Inns’ current and preliminary view,

which is subject to change.

statements. Among other things, the outlook for the fourth quarter of 2006

Inns may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic

reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in its

and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third

parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about

Home Inns’ beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements.

Forward- looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A

number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those

contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the

industry; our ability to hire, train and retain qualified managerial and

other employees; our ability to develop new hotels at desirable locations in

a timely and

cost-effective manner; the expected growth of the Chinese economy hotel

Further information regarding these and other risks is included in our

registration statement on Form F-1 and other documents filed with the

Securities and Exchange Commission. Home Inns does not undertake any

obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under

applicable law. All information provided in this press release and in the

attachments is as of November 15, 2006, and Home Inns undertakes no duty to

update such information, except as required under applicable law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Home Inns’ consolidated financial results presented in

accordance with U.S. GAAP, Home Inns uses the following measures defined as

non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: total operating expenses excluding

share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses

excluding share-based compensation expenses, income from operations excluding

share-based expenses, net income excluding share-based compensation expenses,

adjusted EBITDA, and basic and diluted earnings per share and per ADS

excluding share-based compensation expenses. 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.

Home Inns believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide

meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity

by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its operating

performance from a cash perspective. Home Inns believes that both management

and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in

assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal

comparisons to Home Inns’ historical performance and liquidity. Home Inns

computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method

from quarter to quarter. Home Inns believes these non-GAAP financial

measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with

respect to supplemental information used by management in its 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 our 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.

Home Inns’ management also believes that adjusted EBITDA, defined as

earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization

and share-based compensation expenses, is a useful financial metric to assess

our operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and

financing transactions and income taxes. In addition, Home Inns’ management

believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the lodging

industry and may be used by investors as a measure of our financial

performance. Given the significant investments that Home Inns has made in

property, plant and equipment, depreciation and amortization expense

comprises a meaningful portion of our cost structure. Home Inns’ management

believes that adjusted EBITDA will provide investors with a useful tool for

comparability between periods because it eliminates depreciation and

amortization expense attributable to capital expenditures. The presentation

of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future

results will be unaffected by other charges and gains we consider to be

outside the ordinary course of our business.

The use of adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Depreciation and

amortization expense for various long-term assets, income tax expense,

interest expense, interest income and share-based compensation expenses 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 our financial results. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA

does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and

should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. Home Inns

compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our

depreciation and amortization, interest expense and interest income, income

tax expense, capital expenditures and other relevant items both in our

reconciliations to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated

financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our

performance. The term EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S.

GAAP, and adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income, operating income,

operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

When assessing our operating and financial performance, you should not

consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for our net income,

operating income or any other operating performance measure that is

calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our adjusted EBITDA

may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by

other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the

same manner as we do.

Reconciliations of Home Inns’ non-GAAP financial measures, including

adjusted EBITDA, to consolidated statement of operations information are

included at the end of this press release.
