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 (“SEC”):
adjusted net income (loss) attributable to H World Group Limited excluding share-based compensation expenses and gains (losses) from fair
value changes of equity securities; adjusted basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share/ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses
and gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities; EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA excluding share-based compensation expenses and
gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities. 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 “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP
Results” set forth at the end of this release. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental
information regarding Company performance by excluding share-based compensation expenses and
gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities that may not be indicative of Company operating performance. The Company believes
that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Company 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.
A limitation of using non-GAAP financial measures excluding share-based compensation expenses and gains (losses) from fair value changes
of equity securities is that share-based compensation expenses and gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities have been
and may continue to be significant and recurring in the Company’s business. Management
compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The
accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP
financial measures.
The Company believes that EBITDA is a useful
financial metric to assess the operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income
taxes, given the significant investments that the Company has made in leasehold improvements, depreciation and amortization expense that
comprise a significant portion of the Company’s cost structure. In addition, the Company believes that EBITDA is widely used by
other companies in the lodging industry and may be used by investors as a measure of financial performance. The Company believes that
EBITDA information provides investors with a useful tool for comparability between periods because it excludes depreciation and amortization
expense attributable to capital expenditures. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA to assess operating results of its hotels in operation.
The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expenses and gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities
helps facilitate year-over-year comparisons of the results of operations as the share-based compensation expenses and gains (losses)
from fair value changes of equity securities may not be indicative of Company operating performance.
The Company believes that gains and losses from
changes in fair value of equity securities are generally less significant in understanding the Company’s reported results or evaluating
the economic performance of its businesses. These gains and losses have caused and may continue to cause significant volatility in reported
periodic earnings.
Therefore, the Company believes adjusted EBITDA
more closely reflects the financial performance capability of our hotels. The presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be
construed as an indication that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains considered to be outside
the ordinary course of business.
The use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA has certain
limitations. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets (including land use rights), income tax, interest expense
and interest income have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA. Share-based compensation expenses
and gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities 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 the results. The Company compensates for
these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income tax
expense, share-based compensation expenses, and gains (losses) from fair value changes of equity securities and other relevant items
both in the reconciliations to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and in the consolidated financial statements, all of which should be
considered when evaluating the performance of the Company.
The terms EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not
defined under U.S. GAAP, and neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA is a measure of net income, operating income, operating performance or
liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When assessing the operating and financial performance, investors should not consider
these 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 U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company’s EBITDA or 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
or adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as the Company does.
Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP
financial measures, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, to the consolidated statement of operations information are included at the
end of this press release.
