Operational Highlights

• During the third quarter of 2012, Home Inns Group opened 108 new hotels, including 39 new leased-and-operated hotels (including two Yitel hotels and two Motel 168 hotels) and 69 new franchised-and-managed hotels (including four Motel 168 hotels). Two leased-and-operated hotels and four franchised-and-managed hotels (including one Motel 168 hotel) were closed due to city rezoning, or expiration or termination of the contracts.
• As of September 30, 2012, Home Inns Group operated across 243 cities in China with a total of 1,682 hotels, of which 770 were leased-and-operated hotels (including five Yitel hotels and 146 Motel 168 hotels) and 912 were franchised-and-managed hotels (including one Yitel hotel and 175 Motel 168 hotels). The average number of guest rooms per hotel was 122, as of September 30, 2012.
• Home Inns Group had another 252 hotels contracted or under construction as of September 30, 2012, of which 87 were leased-and-operated hotels (including one hotel under the Yitel brand and nine hotels under the Motel 168 brand) and 165 were franchised-and-managed hotels (including one hotel under the Yitel brand and 20 hotels under the Motel 168 brand).
• As of September 30, 2012, Home Inns Group had a total of 10.6 million unique active non-corporate members under its frequent guests programs.
• The occupancy rate for all hotels in operation was 90.3% in the third quarter of 2012, compared to an occupancy rate of 94.1% in the third quarter of 2011 and 89.2% in the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in occupancy rate year over year was mainly due to overall market softness and the lower occupancy rate of the Motel 168 brand, which is still being integrated. The sequential increase in occupancy rate was mainly attributable to seasonality. The occupancy rate for Motel 168 in the third quarter of 2012 was 82.7%, increased from 80.8% in the second quarter of 2012.
• RevPAR, which is revenue per available room, was RMB 157 for the third quarter of 2012, compared with RMB 169 in the same period of 2011 and RMB 149 in the second quarter of 2012. The year-over-year RevPAR decrease was mainly due to weaker market conditions and lower RevPAR from Motel 168 as it continued to improve its operating performances. The sequential increase in RevPAR was primarily attributable to seasonality and opportunistic pricing in selected markets. RevPAR for Motel 168 in the third quarter of 2012 was RMB 134, an increase from RMB 129 in the second quarter of 2012. Integration of Motel 168 remained on track.

"We are very pleased to report higher than expected revenue and solid overall operating results for the third quarter," said Mr. David Sun, the Company's chief executive officer. "Even though the overall macroeconomic market conditions remained soft, we effectively maintained stable performance in our core business and kept the integration of Motel 168 well on track for continued operational improvements. Further, our new hotels have been ramping up according to expectations and our productivity measures are generating positive impact to protect margins despite limited price opportunities and rising costs.

"There remains a level of uncertainty in the marketplace and we may not see significant improvements for another six to nine months. However, we believe China's travel and lodging industry will continue to provide growth and broad opportunity for the strongest players. We will continue to further the integration of Motel 168, leverage the strong growth momentum of our high margin franchise business, fully establish a strong foundation for the Yitel brand, and keep a vigilant control over our cost structure. We are confident of achieving profitable growth and driving long-term value for our shareholders."

Detailed Overview of Financial Results for Third Quarter 2012

Total Revenues for the third quarter of 2012 increased 61.8% year over year to RMB 1.60 billion (US$254.3 million), including revenues from Motel 168 of RMB 398.9 million (US$63.5 million). Motel 168 achieved the higher end of its revenue guidance for the third quarter.

• Total revenues from leased-and-operated hotels for the third quarter of 2012 were RMB 1.43 billion (US$227.8 million), representing a 62.3% increase year over year and a 10.1% increase sequentially.
• Total revenues from franchised-and-managed hotels for the third quarter of 2012 were RMB 166.6 million (US$26.5 million), representing a 57.2% increase year over year and an 11.3% increase sequentially.

Total Operating Costs and Expenses for the third quarter of 2012 were RMB 1.36 billion (US$215.6 million). Excluding any share-based compensation expenses and acquisition and integration cost, total operating costs and expenses (non-GAAP) for the quarter were RMB 1.30 billion (US$207.6 million), representing 81.6% of total revenues, compared with 77.6% for the same quarter a year ago and 82.4% for the second quarter of 2012.

• Total leased-and-operated hotel costs for the third quarter of 2012 were RMB 1.21 billion (US$193.2 million), including share-based compensation expenses of RMB 2.0 million (US$0.3 million) and integration costs of RMB 25.4 million (US$4.0 million). Total leased-and-operated hotel costs excluding share-based compensation expenses and integration costs (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2012 were RMB 1.19 billion (US$188.8 million), representing 82.9% of the leased-and-operated hotel revenues, compared to 76.3% of leased-and-operated hotel revenues in the same period of 2011 and 84.3% in the second quarter of 2012. This year-over-year increase in this expense ratio was mainly driven by overall soft market conditions not suitable for systematic price increases, higher cost ratio from Motel 168 hotels which are still being integrated, and certain nonrecurring charges to other operating costs and expenses. The sequential decrease in this ratio was mainly driven by seasonality. The pre-opening cost was RMB 28.8 million (US$4.6 million) in the third quarter of 2012 compared to RMB 31.2 million in the third quarter of 2011.
• Personnel costs of franchised-and-managed hotels for the third quarter of 2012 were RMB 45.0 million (US$7.2 million), including share-based compensation expenses of RMB 2.4 million (US$0.4 million). Excluding share-based compensation expenses, personnel costs of franchised-and-managed hotels (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2012 were RMB 42.6 million (US$6.8 million), representing 25.6% of franchised-and-managed hotel revenues. This compared to 22.4% for the same quarter in 2011 and 20.2% for the second quarter of 2012. The year-over-year increase in this ratio was mainly due to relatively lower revenue performance by franchised-and-managed hotels at Motel 168. The sequential increase in this ratio was mainly due to a higher bonus accrual of performance-based bonus in the third quarter.
• Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2012 were RMB 18.4 million (US$2.9 million), including share-based compensation expenses of RMB 0.4 million (US$0.1 million). Excluding share-based compensation expenses, sales and marketing expenses (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2012 were RMB 17.9 million (US$2.9 million), representing 1.1% of total revenues, compared to 1.6% of total revenues in the same period a year ago and 1.0% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2012. The year-over-year decrease in this ratio was mainly the result of tightly controlled sales and marketing spending supporting a larger revenue base.
• General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2012 were RMB 77.9 million (US$12.4 million), including share-based compensation expenses of RMB 19.2 million (US$3.1 million) and integration costs of RMB 1.2 million (US$0.2 million). General and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses and acquisition and integration cost(non-GAAP) were RMB 57.4 million (US$9.1 million), or 3.6% of the total revenues, compared with 5.5% of the total revenues in the same period of 2011 and 3.7% in the second quarter of 2012. The Company continues to benefit from economies of scale.

Income from Operations for the third quarter of 2012 was RMB 154.0 million (US$24.5 million). Income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses and integration cost (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2012 was RMB 204.7 million (US$32.6 million), or 12.8% of total revenues, compared to RMB 160.0 million, or 16.2% of total revenues, in the same period of 2011 and RMB 170.4 million, or 11.8% of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2012. The year-over-year decrease in the ratio of income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses and acquisition and integration cost (non-GAAP) over total revenues was mainly caused by the higher cost ratio at Motel 168, absence of systematic selling price increases and one-time charges. The sequential increase in this ratio was mainly due to seasonality.

EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2012 was RMB 283.5 million (US$45.1 million). Excluding any share-based compensation expenses, foreign exchange gain or loss, acquisition and integration cost, loss from fair value change of convertible notes and interest rate swap contracts non-operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB 375.5 million (US$59.8 million), or 23.5% of total revenues, compared to RMB 272.9 million, or 27.6% of total revenues, in the same period in 2011 and RMB 331.6 million, or 22.9% of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Home Inns Group's unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Home Inns Group uses the following non-GAAP measures:

1. total operating costs and expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses and acquisition and integration costs
2. total leased-and-operated hotel costs excluding share-based compensation expenses and integration costs
3. personnel costs of franchised-and-managed hotels excluding share-based compensation expenses
4. sales and marketing expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses
5. general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses and acquisition and integration costs
6. income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses and acquisition and integration costs
7. adjusted net income attributable to shareholders excluding any share-based compensation expenses, foreign exchange gain or loss, acquisition and integration cost, upfront fee amortization of term loan, gain or loss from fair value change of convertible notes and interest swap derivatives, withholding tax for profit distribution of previous periods and other non-operating expenses
8. adjusted basic and diluted earnings per ADS and per share excluding foreign exchange gain or loss, share-based compensation expenses, gain on buy-back of convertible bonds, issuance costs for convertible notes, gain or loss from fair value change of convertible notes, acquisition and integration cost, withholding tax for profit distribution of previous periods, non-operating expenses and upfront fee amortization of term loan, and
9. adjusted EBITDA excluding foreign exchange gain or loss, share-based compensation expenses, gain on buy-back of convertible bonds, issuance costs for convertible notes, gain or loss from fair value change of convertible notes, acquisition and integration costs, non-operating expenses and upfront fee amortization of term loan

Any financial data referring to "Excluding Motel 168" are also non-GAAP financial measures. 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 press release.

Home Inns Group believes that, used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Group's performance, and both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Group's performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes that EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, is a useful financial metric to assess Home Inns Group's operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes. In addition, management believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the lodging industry and may be used as an analysis tool by both management and investors to measure and compare Home Inns Group's operational and financial performance with industry peers.

One of the limitations of using non-GAAP income from operations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders is that they do not include all items that impact Home Inns Group's net income (loss) for the period. These non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expenses, foreign exchange gain or loss and gain or loss from fair value change of convertible notes, which have been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in Home Inns Group's business. In addition, Home Inns Group's EBITDA and 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 Home Inns Group does. Management compensates for this and other limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. Home Inns Group computes the non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results are included at the end of this press release. The non-GAAP adjustment items do not include the tax impact.

The presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that Home Inns Group's future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains Home Inns Group considers to be outside the ordinary course of its business.

Home Inns Group completed its acquisition of 100% equity interest in Motel 168, and took control of Motel 168 effective on October 1, 2011. Home Inns Group has consolidated Motel 168's operating and financial results since October 1, 2011. Home Inns Group has presented certain separated financial data of Motel 168 in this earning release for the purpose of providing more information to investors. Home Inns Group will provide separate financial data for Motel 168 through the 2012 fiscal year.
