EPS (Earnings Per Share): Pending confirmation

Positives

Revenue beat: Net revenue of RMB 3.490 billion, +41.4% YoY

Retail strength: Retail revenue of RMB 1.575 billion, +63.2% YoY

Full-year guidance: 2026 net revenue outlook of +30% versus prior year

As a Chinese lifestyle hotel and retail group, the expansion of its managed and franchised hotels combined with rising brand awareness in retail fueled top-line growth. Hotels in operation climbed to 2,175 (+19.2%), with 242,526 rooms (+18.4%), while the managed and franchised pipeline under development reached 811 properties.

Negatives

Same-store softness: RevPAR at hotels open 18 months or more declined from RMB 347.2 to RMB 336.8

Hotel cost ratio up: Hotel operating expenses as a share of revenue rose from 61.7% to 64.5%

SG&A pressure: Selling and marketing expenses as a share of revenue climbed from 15.9% to 17.4%

System-wide RevPAR edged up modestly, but mature stores saw both occupancy and average daily rate weaken simultaneously. The fact that net income growth (+29.0%) lagged revenue growth (+41.4%) also reads as a signal that costs are rising faster than the top line.

What Management Said

Founder and CEO Haijun Wang explained that under the three-year strategy of "Chinese Experience, Brand-Led Excellence," the hotel segment has prioritized quality first while retail has built out competitiveness in core categories. Going forward, management plans to layer in product quality, brand strength, and organizational capability around guest needs to pursue higher-quality growth in both hotels and retail.

Market Reaction and Key Watchpoints

Despite the revenue beat and the full-year net revenue +30% guidance, sellers focused first on the same-store slowdown and the widening cost ratios, driving the after-hours pullback.
