Insights

Atour Lifestyle Holdings Limited has reported significant financial growth in the first quarter of 2024. Net revenues experienced an increase of 89.7% year-over-year, driven primarily by the manachised hotel and retail businesses. This substantial growth indicates a strong market position and effective expansion strategies. However, it is important to note that revenues from leased hotels decreased by 10.3%, which could be attributed to renovations and decreased revenue per available room (RevPAR). The company's ability to nearly double its net income by 1326% year-over-year, from RMB18 million to RMB258 million, reflects remarkable operational efficiency and cost management despite the higher expenditures in marketing and technology.

The EBITDA increase by 291.3% and adjusted EBITDA by 53.1% showcase an improvement in earnings quality and cash flow generation capabilities, with a notable rise in the EBITDA margin. This underscores the company’s ability to convert revenues into actual profits and provides a positive signal for long-term financial health.

Short-term, the company is effectively managing operational costs to drive growth. However, the decrease in RevPAR and the impact of renovations on leased hotel revenues are key metrics to monitor for sustained performance in the hospitality industry. In the long term, continued investment in technology and infrastructure should enhance customer experience and operational scalability.

Atour’s retail business has shown extraordinary growth, with a 268.9% increase in revenues, reaching RMB417 million. This surge highlights successful brand recognition and product offering strategies. The significant increase in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) by 277.4% signals robust consumer demand and effective e-commerce channels. The ability to maintain a healthy average daily room rate (ADR) of RMB430 despite the occupancy rate fluctuations further demonstrates strong demand and pricing power in the market.

Key market dynamics at play include the growing middle class in China, increased domestic travel and consumer spending on lifestyle experiences, which Atour seems well-positioned to capitalize on. However, maintaining growth in both manachised and retail segments while integrating ESG commitments effectively will be important for long-term sustainability and customer loyalty.

Retail investors should note the potential volatility in occupancy rates and RevPAR, which are sensitive to macroeconomic conditions and competition. Nevertheless, the company’s strong performance in the retail segment provides a diversified revenue stream that could buffer cyclical downturns in the hospitality sector.

Net revenues. Our net revenues for the first quarter of 2024 increased by 89.7% to RMB1,468 million (US$203 million) from RMB774 million for the same period of 2023, mainly driven by the growth in manachised hotel and retail businesses.

  • Manachised hotels. Revenues from our manachised hotels for the first quarter of 2024 increased by 87.1% to RMB836 million (US$116 million) from RMB447 million for the same period of 2023.

  • Hotel operating costs for the first quarter of 2024 were RMB662 million (US$92 million), compared with RMB382 million for the same period of 2023.

Hotel operating costs accounted for 65.9% of manachised and leased hotels’ revenues for the first quarter of 2024, compared with 60.2% for the same period of 2023. The increase was attributable to a decreased RevPAR and an increased share of revenue generated by the lower-margin supply chain business.

  • Technology and development expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were RMB24 million (US$3 million), compared with RMB17 million for the same period of 2023.

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: adjusted net income, which is defined as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses; EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization; adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as EBITDA 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.

The Company believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the hospitality industry and may be used by investors as a measure of the financial performance. Given the significant investments that the Company has made in leasehold improvements and other fixed assets of leased hotels, depreciation and amortization comprises a significant portion of the Company’s cost structure. The Company believes that EBITDA will provide investors with a useful tool for comparability between periods because it eliminates depreciation and amortization attributable to capital expenditures. Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding share-based compensation expenses, as the investors can better understand the Company’s performance and compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis, excluding share-based compensation expenses, which are not expected to result in cash payment. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s 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. The accompanying tables provide more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

The use of these non-GAAP measures has certain limitations, as the excluded items have been and will be incurred, and are not reflected in the presentation of these non-GAAP measures. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of the results. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the disclosure of the relevant items both in its reconciliations to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and in its consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the performance of the Company.

In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures utilized by other companies, as these companies may not calculate these measures in the same manner as the Company does.
