Insights

Financial Analyst

GreenTree reports mixed H1 2025 results with 14.2% revenue decline but 66.2% net income growth amid operational challenges.

GreenTree Hospitality's first half 2025 results reveal significant operational headwinds affecting both its hotel and restaurant segments. The company's total revenue dropped 14.2% year-over-year to RMB585.1 million, with hotel revenue declining 9.5% and restaurant revenue plummeting 31.6%.

The revenue contraction stems from multiple factors: a 11% decrease in blended RevPAR across hotels, closure of 9 leased-and-operated hotels, and 13 restaurants since Q3 2024, plus declining operational metrics. Hotel occupancy fell from 67.8% to 64.0% in Q1 and from 72.5% to 67.9% in Q2, while average daily room rates decreased by 6.9% and 3.9% in those periods respectively.

Despite the revenue decline, net income surprisingly increased 66.2% to RMB198.8 million, primarily due to non-operational factors including the divestment of ownership in Argyle and realized gains from equity investments. This masks the underlying operational weakness, as income from operations fell 41.6% to RMB91.5 million.

The company has successfully reduced operating costs by 10.2%, selling and marketing expenses by 19.6%, and G&A expenses by 12.6%, but these cost-cutting measures haven't been enough to offset the revenue decline. Consequently, gross margin contracted from 40.4% to 36.7%, and adjusted EBITDA margin declined from 28.2% to 25.6%.

Cash position remains strong with total cash and equivalents of RMB2,034.9 million, up from RMB1,839.1 million at the end of 2024. Management has approved a dividend of $0.06 per ADS and revised revenue guidance for the hotel business to a decline of 10% to 13% year-over-year, acknowledging continued challenges ahead.

Total revenues for the first half of 2025 were RMB585.1 million (US$81.7 million)^[1], a 14.2% year-over-year decrease.

Hotel revenues were RMB488.0 million (US$68.1 million), a 9.5% year-over-year decrease due to an 11% year-over-year decrease in blended RevPAR across the first half year and the closure of 9 L&O hotels since the third quarter of last year. The decrease was partially offset by revenues from new openings.

Restaurant revenues were RMB97.7 million (US$13.6 million), a 31.6% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to the decrease in the number of L&O stores and lower ADS in the second quarter low season.

Total revenues from leased-and-operated, or L&O, hotels  and restaurants were RMB253.6 million (US$35.4 million)^[1], a 20.3% year-over-year decrease.

Total revenues from L&O hotels were RMB 194.8 million (US$27.2 million)^[1], a 14.7% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was primarily attributable to the closing of 9 L&O hotels since the third quarter of last year, a 3.4% year-over-year decrease in RevPAR, and a reduction in sublease revenues mainly due to lease expiration. 

Total revenues from L&O restaurants were RMB59.1 million (US$8.2 million)^[1], a 34.1% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to the closure of 13 L&O restaurants since the third quarter of 2024 and the year-over-year decrease in ADS.

Total revenues from franchised-and-managed, or F&M, hotels  and restaurants were RMB294.9 million (US$41.2 million), a 5.7% year-over-year decrease.  

Total revenues from F&M hotels were RMB291.8 million (US$40.7 million)^[1], a 5.6% year-over-year decrease, primarily due to a 11% decrease in F&M hotels' blended RevPAR across the first half year and partially offset by new openings.

Total revenues from F&M restaurants were RMB3.2 million (US$0.4 million)^[1], a 15.7% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to the year-over-year decrease in ADS and partially offset by new openings.

Total revenues from wholesale and others were RMB36.5 million (US$ 5.1 million)^[1], a 28.5% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to the decline in the wholesale segment of the restaurant business.

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.
