Total revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB233.4 million (US$35.3 million)[1], representing a 20.3% increase over second quarter 2017. Total revenues for the first half of 2018 were RMB438.3 million (US$66.2 million)[1], representing a 21.7% increase over first half of 2017. The year-over-year increase in the second quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to the net additional 80 F&M hotels to our network, the opening of a new L&O hotel in Shanghai in June 2017, improved RevPar for both F&M and L&O hotels as well as membership growth; and was partially offset by the conversion of five L&O hotels to F&M hotels after the first quarter of 2017.

  • Total revenues from leased-and-operated hotels for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB49.7 million (US$7.5 million)[1], representing a 5.7% year-over-year increase. Total revenues from leased-and-operated hotels for the first half of 2018 were RMB93.9 million (US$14.2 million)[1], representing a 5.7% year-over-year increase. The year-over-year increase in the second quarter of 2018 was attributable to RevPAR growth of 8.4% and moderate sublease revenue growth, resulting from a GreenTree Eastern hotel opened in Shanghai in June 2017, and partially offset by the conversion of five hotels to F&M hotels after the first quarter of 2017.
  • Total revenues from franchised-and-managed hotels for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB165.5 million (US$25.0 million)[1], representing a 23.3% year-over-year increase. Total revenues from franchised-and-managed hotels for the first half of 2018 were RMB309.4 million (US$46.8 million)[1], representing a 25.5% year-over-year increase. Initial franchise fees increased 20.3% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to the gross opening of 104 hotels in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to 97 hotels opened in the second quarter of 2017. The 23.6% year-over-year increase in recurring franchisee management fees in the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to RevPAR growth of 4.7% as well as growth in central reservation system ("CRS") usage fees, annual IT and marketing fees and hotel manager fees, which in turn resulted from the increased number of hotels and hotel rooms in operation.

  • Membership fees represent the one-time membership fee the Company charges in relation to its paid memberships recognized as our revenue on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the membership, which is three to six years depending on the membership level. Membership fees totaled RMB18.1 million (US$2.7 million)[1] in the second quarter of 2018, representing a 43.5% year-over-year increase. These fees totaled RMB35.0 million (US$5.3 million)[1] in the first half of 2018, representing a 40.6% year-over-year increase. The year-over-year increase in the second quarter of 2018 was primarily a result of an increase in the number of our paid members from approximately 17 million as of December 31, 2017 to approximately 19 million as of June 30, 2018 as we continued to promote our paid membership program.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and core net income, as we present it, is a useful financial metric to assess our operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions, income taxes and certain non-core and non-recurring items in our financial statements.

The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and core net income 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 and core net income has certain limitations because it does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect our operations. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and core net income are significant components in understanding and assessing our operating and financial performance. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets, income tax and share-based compensation 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 results. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and core net income does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, interest expense/income, gains/losses from trading securities, income tax expenses, share-based compensation, share of loss in equity investees, government subsidies and other relevant items both in our reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

The term Adjusted EBITDA and core net income is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA and core net income 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 and core net income may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and core net income or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and core net income in the same manner as we do.

Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and core net income, to the consolidated statement of operations information are included at the end of this press release.
