First Quarter 2010 Operational Highlights
-- Added 3 net leased-and-operated hotels and 6 net managed hotels in the
first quarter 2010.
-- As of March 31, 2010, 7 Days Group had 346 hotels in operation,
consisting of 239 leased-and-operated hotels and 107 managed hotels and
representing a total of 34,055 rooms and covering 55 cities.
-- As of March 31, 2010, there were 35 leased-and-operated hotels under
conversion and 66 managed hotels contracted but not yet opened.
-- In the first quarter of 2010, occupancy rates for leased-and-operated
hotels, managed hotels and all hotels were 89.6%, 77.7% and 86.2%,
respectively, compared with 83.9%, 78.2% and 83.5% for the same quarter

compared with RMB119.4 and RMB128.9, respectively, in the first quarter

-- The improvement in RevPAR for leased-and-operated hotels was primarily
a result of higher average daily rates and occupancy rates due to our
powerful loyalty program and increased brand name recognition together
with an improved macro environment. The decrease in RevPAR for managed
hotels reflected the larger proportion of newly opened hotels within
the Company's managed hotel portfolio in the period.
-- As of March 31, 2010, the number of 7 Days Club members increased by
57.3% to approximately 11.0 million from 7.0 million as of March 31,

the first quarter 2010.

Recent Business Developments:
Mr. Alex Nanyan Zheng, 7 Days Group's Chief Executive Officer and Director, commented, "I am pleased to report a strong start of 2010, as total revenues of RMB302.2 million surpassed our guidance announced in March 2010 and non-GAAP net income increased for a third consecutive quarter."
"We made sound progress across most of our key performance metrics despite this being our seasonally low quarter. Average occupancy rates within our leased-and-operated hotels reached an impressive 89.6%, essentially in-line with the seasonally high occupancy rate in the fourth quarter 2009, and managed hotel occupancy rate remained flat year-over-year despite an increase of newly opened managed hotels in the mix. Overnight occupancy rate reached 86% in the first quarter. Going forward, we will continue to focus on attracting overnight customers to our hotels.
"Furthermore, we witnessed the power of our 7 Days Club as members accounted for 98% of total room nights in the past 12 months, reflecting a high level of customer loyalty and the success of our strategy to focus on member-driven growth. Our membership program and powerful eCommerce platform not only foster customer loyalty, but also provide us with distinct cost advantages as we are less reliant on extensive marketing campaigns and third party travel agents. We believe these advantages are difficult to replicate and will help us drive long-term sustainable growth.
"Looking ahead, we will continue to capitalize on the robust opportunities present in China's fast expanding travel and tourism industry. We have a solid pipeline of hotels under conversion as a result of recent proactive efforts, totaling 101 hotels as of March 31, 2010. Since April 1, we have signed another 28 leased-and-operated hotels and another 34 managed hotels, which further enriches our pipeline. We believe this strong performance positions us to deliver accelerating revenue growth through the rest of the year.
"Our sound financial footing, together with our large, loyal customer base and hotel expansion efforts, positions us to build on our positive momentum and deliver long-term value to our shareholders."
Mr. Eric Haibing Wu, 7 Days Group's Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our first quarter results demonstrate the strength of our business model and the solid execution of our growth strategy. We continued to deliver strong financial results highlighted by significant year-over-year revenue and EBITDA growth, and a third consecutive quarter of non-GAAP profitability. Our healthy cash position also allows us to maintain strategic flexibility. In the meantime, we started to realize meaningful financial contribution from our managed hotel portfolio. Continued expansion of our managed hotels is one of our primary strategic imperatives, and we are pleased with our progress to date. In addition, we have maintained stringent cost controls in an effort to drive margin improvements as we seek to be the low cost industry operator. We believe our strong financial results, powerful operating platform and focused strategy position us well to deliver continued growth in the rest of 2010."
First Quarter 2010 Unaudited Financial Results
Gross revenues. Gross revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were RMB320.2 million (US$46.9 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 26.4% from RMB253.4 million in the first quarter of 2009 and a decrease of only 2.8% from RMB329.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 (our occupancy rates are typically lower in the first quarter of each year corresponding with Chinese New Year).
Gross revenues from leased-and-operated hotels. Gross revenues from leased-and-operated hotels for the first quarter of 2010 were RMB312.9 million (US$45.8 million), a 23.9% increase from RMB252.5 million in the first quarter 2009 driven by the expansion of the Company's hotel portfolio and a decrease of only 4.0% from RMB326.0 million in the fourth quarter 2009 despite the first quarter typically being our seasonally lowest quarter.
Gross revenues from managed hotels. Gross revenues from managed hotels for the first quarter of 2010 jumped 707.1% year-over-year and 113.8% quarter-over-quarter to RMB7.2 million (US$1.1 million) as a larger number of these hotels came into operation. In the first quarter of 2010, 7 Days Group opened 6 net managed hotels.
Total net revenues. Total net revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were RMB302.2 million (US$44.3 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 26.4% from RMB239.0 million in first quarter 2009, reflecting a strong growth in the number of hotels and an improved operating performance supported by a strengthening macro environment, our powerful loyalty program and increased brand name recognition. Sequentially, total net revenues decreased by 2.7% from RMB310.5 million in the fourth quarter 2009 due to seasonality.
Hotel operating costs. Hotel operating costs for the first quarter of 2010 were RMB258.8 million (US$37.9 million), or 85.6% of total net revenues, compared with 92.1% of total net revenues in the same quarter in 2009 and 83.8% in the fourth quarter 2009. The year-over-year improvement in operating costs as a percentage of total net revenues was primarily due to revenue growth and efficiency improvements and the sequential increase was primarily due to a seasonal decline in revenues while costs were relatively fixed in the first quarter of 2010. While hotel operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased on a sequential basis, the variable portion of hotel operating costs (excluding utilities) showed a sequential improvement, due to efficiency improvements.
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2010 were RMB5.7 million (US$0.8 million), or 1.9% of total net revenues, compared with 2.9% of total net revenues in the same quarter in 2009 and 3.0% in the fourth quarter 2009.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2010 were RMB24.9 million (US$3.6 million), or 8.2% of total net revenues, compared to RMB16.0 million, or 6.7% of total net revenues in the same quarter in 2009, and RMB14.2 million, or 4.6% of total net revenues, in the fourth quarter 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues in the first quarter 2010 was primarily a result of increased costs associated with being a public company.
Accordingly, total operating costs and expenses was RMB289.3 million (US$42.4 million), representing 95.7% of total net revenues, compared to 101.7% of total net revenues in the same quarter of 2009 and 91.4% in the fourth quarter 2009.
Income (loss) from operations. Income from operations for the first quarter of 2010 was RMB12.8 million (US$1.9 million), compared to a loss from operations of RMB4.1 million in the first quarter 2009 and an income from operations of RMB26.8 million in the fourth quarter 2009. The year-over-year increase in operating income was driven by the increased number of hotels in the portfolio and higher average daily rates and occupancy rates due to an improved macro environment coupled with our powerful loyalty program and increased brand name recognition. The sequential decrease was primarily due to seasonality. Non-GAAP income from operations was RMB15.6 million (US$2.3 million), compared to a non-GAAP loss from operations of RMB1.7 million for the same quarter in 2009 and non-GAAP income from operations of RMB29.6 million in the fourth quarter 2009.
EBITDA. EBITDA was RMB52.9 million (US$7.8 million), compared to RMB27.2 million for the same quarter in 2009 and a loss of RMB30.1 million in the fourth quarter 2009. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was RMB55.7 million reflecting a 75.6% year-over-year increase and a 19.4% decrease compared to the fourth quarter 2009. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.4% during the first quarter, an improvement compared to 13.3% in first quarter 2009 and a decline from 22.3% in the fourth quarter 2009.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the first quarter of 2010 was RMB1.3 million (US$0.2 million), representing a year-over-year decrease of 93.5% and a 93.1% decrease compared to the fourth quarter 2009. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the redemption, in full, of the Company's senior notes in early December 2009.
Income tax benefit (expense). Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2010 was RMB5.9 million (US$0.9 million), compared to an income tax benefit of RMB16.2 million in the first quarter 2009 and an income tax expense of RMB5.8 million in the fourth quarter 2009.
Net income (loss) attributable to 7 Days Group Holdings Limited shareholders. Net income attributable to 7 Days Group Holdings Limited shareholders was RMB5.7 million (US$0.8 million) in the first quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of RMB7.8 million in the first quarter 2009 and a net loss of RMB93.4 million in the fourth quarter 2009 (including in the fourth quarter of 2009 a loss on debt extinguishment of RMB26.5 million and a RMB70.0 million change in fair value charge related to previously outstanding warrants to acquire our ordinary shares exercised in full upon completion of our IPO).
Non-GAAP net income (loss). Non-GAAP net income was RMB8.5 million (US$1.2 million), compared to Non-GAAP net loss of RMB3.3 million for the first quarter 2009 and Non-GAAP net income of RMB5.8 million in the fourth quarter 2009.
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per ADS. Basic earnings per ADS were RMB0.12 (US$0.02) and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB0.11 (US$0.02) for the first quarter of 2010, compared to the basic and diluted loss per ADS of RMB0.39 for the same quarter in 2009 and the basic and diluted loss per ADS of RMB3.84 in the fourth quarter 2009. Non-GAAP basic earnings per ADS were RMB0.17 (US$0.03) and non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS were RMB0.17 (US$0.02), compared to non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per ADS of RMB0.17 in the same quarter in 2009 and the basic and diluted earnings per ADS of RMB0.18 in the fourth quarter 2009.
Cash and pledged bank deposits. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had cash and pledged bank deposits of RMB562.5 million (US$82.4 million), representing a quarter-over-quarter increase of 62.2%, from RMB346.8 million as of December 31, 2009.
Operating cash flow. Net operating cash inflow for the first quarter of 2010 was RMB48.9 million (US$7.2 million), representing quarter-over-quarter decrease of 43.5% from RMB86.5 million in the fourth quarter 2009 and a year-over-year increase of 64.2% from RMB29.8 million in first quarter 2009.

About 7 Days Group Holdings Limited
7 Days Group is a leading and fast growing national economy hotel chain based in China. It converts and operates limited service economy hotels across major metropolitan areas in China under its award-winning "7 Days Inn" brand. The Company strives to offer consistent and high-quality accommodations and services primarily to the growing population of value conscious business and leisure travelers who demand affordable, clean, comfortable, convenient and safe lodging, and to respond to its guests' needs.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement 7 Days Group's unaudited financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has used the following non-GAAP measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to report its financial results:
-- Non-GAAP income from operations represents income from operations
reported in accordance with GAAP, excluding share-based compensation
expense.
-- Non-GAAP net income represents net income reported in accordance with
GAAP, excluding share-based compensation expense, loss on debt
extinguishment and change in fair value of ordinary share purchase
warrants, in each case, if any.
-- Non-GAAP earnings per ADS represents non-GAAP net income divided by the
number of ADS used in computing basic and diluted earnings per ADS.
-- EBITDA represents net income reported in accordance with GAAP, adjusted
for the effects of interest income and expense, provision for income
taxes, depreciation and amortization.
-- Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, excluding share-based compensation
expense, loss on debt extinguishment and change in fair value of
ordinary share purchase warrants, in each case, if any.
The Company believes EBITDA is a useful financial metric to assess its operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions, if any, and income taxes. In addition, 7 Days Group believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the lodging industry and may be used by investors as a measure of its financial performance. Given the significant investments that 7 Days Group has made in the past in property and equipment, depreciation and amortization expense comprises a meaningful portion of its cost structure. 7 Days Group 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 presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that the Company's future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains the Company considers to be outside the ordinary course of its business. 7 Days Group also calculates Adjusted EBITDA excluding share-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment and change in fair value of ordinary share purchase warrants, in each case, if any. The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with GAAP and, accordingly, expenses its employee share options and recognizes, if any, the impact of loss on debt extinguishment and changes in the fair value of its ordinary share purchase warrants. Since share-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment and change in fair value of ordinary share purchase warrants are non-cash expenses, the Company believes excluding them from its calculation of EBITDA allows it to provide investors with a more useful tool for assessing its operating and financial performance.
The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets, such as property and equipment, income tax expense, interest expense and interest income have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of its results. Additionally, EBITDA does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of the Company's liquidity. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of its depreciation and amortization, interest expense and interest income, income tax expense, capital expenditures, share-based compensation expense and other relevant items both in its reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures and in its consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under GAAP, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. When assessing the Company's operating and financial performance, investors should not consider this 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 GAAP. In addition, the Company's EBITDA and 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 and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as the Company does.
For reasons same to the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA described above, the Company has also reported net income, basic and diluted earnings per ADS and income (loss) from operations on a non-GAAP basis, excluding share-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment and change in fair value of ordinary share purchase warrants, in each case, if any, in the relevant period. These non-GAAP operating measures are useful for understanding the assessing the Company's underlying business performance and operating trends and the Company expects to report net income, basic and diluted earnings per ADS and income (loss) from operations on a non-GAAP basis using a consistent method on a quarterly basis going forward.
7 Days Group believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing 7 Days Group's financial performance and liquidity and when planning and forecasting future periods. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies, and should refer to the reconciliation of GAAP results with non-GAAP results for the periods set forth in the tables at the end of this release.
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
