Restaurants

Our hotel business improved in the third quarter over the first
two quarters of this year as the economy continued to recover.
Travel consumption returned to a more normal pattern following last
year's surge, which has influenced year-over-year comparisons. We
are back to a more positive environment, focusing on growing our
pipeline and upgrading numerous hotels across our portfolio. We are
confident that we are on the right track and will benefit from the
ongoing stimulus measures implemented by the government.
Our restaurant business' net income remained positive for a
second consecutive quarter as we continued to grow the number of
franchised street stores and stores with stable consumer traffic.
Such stores now account for 55.5% of our store count compared to
44.6% a year ago. Following the closing of unprofitable stores over
the past year, the number restaurants in operation had stabilized
at 182 at the end of quarter and we are now focused on growing that
number," said Mr. Alex S. Xu,
Chairman and Chief Executive Office of GreenTree.

Total revenues were RMB357.0
million (US$50.9 million), a
22.5% year-over-year decrease.
Hotel revenues were RMB286.9 million (US$40.9 million), a 15.4% year-over-year
decrease due to a 13.6% year-over-year decrease in
Revpar and the closure of 6 L&O hotels in the
third quarter due to lease expiration and
strategic reviews. The decrease was partially offset by
revenues from new openings.
Restaurant revenues were RMB70.6 million (US$10.1 million), a 42.0% year-over-year
decrease, mainly due to lower ADS and the decrease in the
number of L&O stores. By the end of the third quarter, we had
completed the strategic transformation of our business model.
Total revenues for the first nine months of 2024 were
RMB1,038.9 million (US$148.0 million)[1], a 17.2%
year-over-year decrease.
Total revenues from leased-and-operated, or L&O,
hotels and restaurants were RMB159.3 million (US$22.7 million)[1], a 31.4%
year-over-year decrease.
Total revenues from L&O hotels were RMB118.2 million (US$16.8 million)[1], a 22.2%
year-over-year decrease. The decrease was primarily attributable to
an 7.5% year-over-year decrease in the third quarter
RevPAR of L&O hotels, the closing of 6 L&O
hotels, and a reduction in sublease revenues mainly due to the
disposal of a property.
Total revenues from L&O restaurants were RMB41.1 million (US$5.9 million)[1], a 48.8%
year-over-year decrease, mainly due to the closure of
29 L&O restaurants since the third quarter of 2023 and the
year-over-year decrease in ADS.
Total revenues from L&O hotels and restaurants for the first
nine months of 2024 were RMB477.3
million (US$68.0 million)[1], a 22.1%
year-over-year decrease.
Total revenues from franchised-and-managed, or F&M,
hotels and restaurants were RMB169.7 million (US$24.2
million), a 10.7% year-over-year decrease.
Total revenues from F&M hotels were RMB167.9 million (US$23.9 million), a 9.7% year-over-year
decrease, primary due to a 13.8% decrease in F&M hotels'
Revpar and partially offset by new openings.
Total revenues from F&M restaurants were RMB1.8 million (US$0.3 million), a 56.8% year-over-year decrease,
mainly due to the year-over-year decrease in ADS.
Total revenues from F&M hotels and restaurants for the first
nine months of 2024 were RMB482.4 million
(US$68.7 million)[1],
a 10.8% year-over-year decrease.
Total revenues from wholesale and others were
RMB28.0M (US$4.0 million), a 27.3% year-over-year
decrease, mainly due to the decline in the wholesale segment of the
restaurant business.
Total revenues from wholesale and others for the first nine
months of 2024 were RMB79.1 million (US$11.3 million), a 21.9% year-over-year
decrease.

ordinary shares.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term

securities and time deposits of RMB1,883.9million (US$268.5 million)[1],compared to
RMB1,737.2 million as of June 30, 2024. The increase was mainly
attributable to continued operating cash inflow and repayment
of loans from franchisees.
Guidance
We now anticipate revenue for our hotel business for the full
year 2024 to decrease approximately 8% compared to 2023. This is
based on our operating performance so far this year, in particular
lower than expected travel in the third quarter, and the strategic
review of our LO hotels segment that led to the net closure of 9
hotels by the end of the third quarter and
contributed nearly half of the decline.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and core net income, as we
present them, are useful financial metrics 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 do 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
investments in equity 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 terms Adjusted EBITDA and core net income are not defined
under U.S. GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA and core net income are not
measures 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.
