Rhea-AI Filing Summary

GreenTree Hospitality Group Ltd. reported weaker top-line results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, while bottom-line profitability improved on a full-year basis. Fourth-quarter total revenue was RMB228.7 million (US$32.7 million), down 24.9% year over year, as hotel RevPAR fell 9.5% and the company closed 15 leased-and-operated hotels and 6 stores. Full-year 2025 revenue was RMB1,097.4 million (US$156.9 million), an 18.3% decline.

Despite lower revenue, full-year net income rose to RMB163.4 million (US$23.4 million) from RMB107.3 million, helped by other income and gains. However, fourth-quarter net loss was RMB55.7 million (US$8.0 million), narrowed from RMB72.8 million, reflecting significant impairments in the restaurant business and provisions on franchisee loans.

Non-GAAP metrics were mixed. Fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA fell 41.3% to RMB41.9 million (US$6.0 million), but core net income grew 9.2% to RMB63.2 million (US$9.0 million) with margin improving to 27.6%. For 2025, adjusted EBITDA declined 25.8% to RMB286.6 million (US$41.0 million) and core net income decreased 23.9% to RMB211.2 million (US$30.2 million). The company ended 2025 with 4,580 hotels and 191 restaurants and expects 2026 organic hotel revenue to be roughly flat versus 2025.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Total revenues declined 24.9% year over year in Q4 2025 and 18.3% for full-year 2025, while adjusted EBITDA fell 41.3% in Q4 and 25.8% for the year, indicating weaker underlying earnings despite cost reductions.

Insights

Revenue contracted sharply in 2025 while profits relied on non-core items and cost cuts.

GreenTree saw total revenue fall 24.9% in Q4 2025 to RMB228.7 million and 18.3% for the full year to RMB1,097.4 million. The drop was driven by lower RevPAR, fee waivers for struggling franchisees, and closures of leased-and-operated hotels and restaurants.

Operating metrics show pressure: blended hotel RevPAR declined and restaurant ADS weakened, while the restaurant segment recorded large goodwill and trademark impairments of RMB66.5 million and RMB17.3 million in Q4. Adjusted EBITDA fell 41.3% in Q4 and 25.8% for 2025, indicating weaker underlying cash earnings despite lower costs.

Full-year net income rose to RMB163.4 million, supported by other income, equity investment gains, and disposal-related items. Core net income declined 23.9%, suggesting recurring profitability softened. Management guides 2026 organic hotel revenue to remain roughly flat versus 2025, implying a cautious demand outlook and ongoing dependence on cost discipline and portfolio optimization.

RevPAR financial
"due to a 9.5% year-over-year decrease in RevPAR, the closure of 15 L&O hotels"
RevPAR, or revenue per available room, is a measure used in the hotel industry to show how much money a hotel earns from each of its rooms over a certain period. It helps investors understand how well a hotel is performing financially, similar to how a store's sales per square foot reveal its profitability. Higher RevPAR indicates better use of resources and stronger financial health.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) financial
"Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)3 in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB41.9 million"
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is a company’s measure of operating cash profitability that starts with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and then removes or adds back one-time items or other costs management deems unrelated to ongoing operations. Investors use it like a cleaned-up snapshot of how the core business is performing—similar to judging a car’s fuel efficiency after excluding costs that don’t affect how it runs—but should compare the specific adjustments to understand what’s been excluded.
core net income (non-GAAP) financial
"Core net income (non-GAAP)4 in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB63.2 million"
Core net income (non-GAAP) is an adjusted measure of a company’s profit that removes one-time, unusual or accounting-driven items so investors can see the business’s recurring earnings, like looking at a household budget but ignoring a rare home repair. It matters because it aims to reveal the company’s underlying cash-generating performance, but it is not governed by standardized rules and can be shaped by which items management chooses to exclude, so investors should compare how it’s calculated across periods and peers.
impairment loss of goodwill financial
"Impairment loss of goodwill was RMB66.5million (US$9.5 million)1 , a 17.9% decrease"
An impairment loss of goodwill is an accounting write-down taken when the premium a company paid for acquisitions — the expected extra value from reputation, customer relationships or brand — is judged to be worth less than what’s recorded on the books. Think of it like paying more than a car is now worth and recognizing that loss; it reduces reported profit and shareholder equity, can signal overpayment or weakening business prospects, and may influence investor confidence and credit terms.
leased-and-operated financial
"Total revenues from leased-and-operated, or L&O, hotels and restaurants were RMB106.2million"
Leased-and-operated describes an asset or facility that a company rents from another party but also runs day-to-day itself — like leasing a storefront and staffing it under your own brand. For investors, this matters because the company gains operational control and revenue potential without the capital outlay of ownership, but also takes on operating costs and certain liabilities, affecting cash flow, margins and risk profile.
franchised-and-managed financial
"Total revenues from franchised-and-managed, or F&M, hotels and restaurants were RMB105.1 million"
A franchised-and-managed business runs some locations by licensing the brand to independent owners (franchises) while also operating other locations itself (managed). For investors this mix matters because franchised outlets typically provide steady fee-based income with lower capital needs, while company-managed sites drive higher direct sales but require more investment and expose the company to day-to-day operating risk — like a restaurant chain that both licenses its name and runs its own restaurants.
Q4 2025 total revenue RMB228.7 million -24.9% year over year
FY 2025 total revenue RMB1,097.4 million -18.3% year over year
FY 2025 net income RMB163.4 million up from RMB107.3 million in 2024
Q4 2025 adjusted EBITDA RMB41.9 million -41.3% year over year
FY 2025 adjusted EBITDA RMB286.6 million -25.8% year over year
Guidance

The company expects the decline of total revenues of its organic hotel business for full-year 2026 to be flat compared to 2025 levels.

Total revenue

 

Total revenues were RMB228.7 million (US$32.7 million1,a 24.9% year-over-year decrease.

 

Hotel revenues were RMB189.9 million (US$27.2 million)1, a 20.9% year-over-year decrease due to a 9.5% year-over-year decrease in RevPAR, the closure of 15 L&O hotels since the first quarter of 2025 due to lease expirations and strategic reviews. The decrease was partially offset by revenues from new openings.

 

Restaurant revenues were RMB39.1 million (US$5.6 million1, a 39.9% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to a 21.8% decrease in ADS and the decrease in the number of L&O stores.

 

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were RMB1,097.4 million (US$156.9 million)1, an 18.3% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from leased-and-operated, or L&O, hotels and restaurants were RMB106.2million (US$15.2 million)1, a 10.9% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from L&O hotels were RMB85.0 million (US$12.2 million)1, a 6.6% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 4.6% year-over-year decrease in L&O hotels’ RevPAR, the closure of 15 L&O hotels since the first quarter of 2025, and the reduction in sublease income resulting from the closure of L&O hotels, offset by revenues from the opening of 5 L&O hotels during 2025.

 

Total revenues from L&O restaurants were RMB21.2 million (US$3.0 million)1, a 25.6 % year-over-year decrease. The decrease was mainly due to the closure of 6 L&O stores since the first quarter of 2025 and a 14.1% year-over-year decrease in L&O stores’ ADS. Same L&O store revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased by 10.4% year over year.

 

Total revenues from L&O hotels and restaurants for the year ended December 31, 2025 were RMB487.9 million (US$69.8 million)1, an 18.2% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from franchised-and-managed, or F&M, hotels and restaurants were RMB105.1 million (US$15.0 million)1, a 31.3% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from F&M hotels were RMB104.2 million (US$14.9 million)1, a 29.7% year-over-year decrease, primarily attributable to a temporary waiver of RMB21.0 million of management fees for hotels facing business difficulties, and a decline of RMB6.9 million in membership revenues. The decrease was partially due to the amortization cycle started from the pandemic period three years ago, in which the sales of membership cards were historically underperformed. Excluding these impacts, revenues from F&M hotels decreased 10.9% year over year, due to a 9.6% decrease in F&M hotels’ RevPAR.

 

4 / 19

 

 

Total revenues from F&M restaurants were RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million)1, a 79.9% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was mainly due to a 10.9% decrease in ADS.

 

Total revenues from F&M hotels and restaurants for the year were RMB534.5million (US$76.4million)1, a 15.9% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from wholesale and others were RMB17.3 million (US$2.5 million)1, a 46.4% year-over-year decrease.

 

Total revenues from wholesale and others for the year were RMB75.0 million (US$10.7 million)1, a 32.7% year-over-year decrease.

Guidance

 

Taking into account the recovery in long-term trends and short-term industry fluctuations, we expect the decline of total revenues of our organic hotel business for the full year of 2026 to be flat compared to their 2025 levels.

 

The guidance set forth above reflects the Company’s current and preliminary views based on its recovery and may not be indicative of the final financial results for any future periods or the full year.

 

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.

FAQ

How did GreenTree (GHG) perform financially in Q4 2025?

GreenTree posted lower revenue but a narrower net loss in Q4 2025. Total revenue was RMB228.7 million, down 24.9% year over year, and net loss was RMB55.7 million versus RMB72.8 million a year earlier, reflecting impairments and hotel and restaurant closures.

What were GreenTree (GHG) full-year 2025 revenues and profit?

For 2025, GreenTree’s revenue and profit moved in opposite directions. Total revenue declined 18.3% to RMB1,097.4 million, while net income increased to RMB163.4 million from RMB107.3 million, helped by other income, investment-related gains and cost control measures.

How did GreenTree’s non-GAAP metrics change in 2025?

Non-GAAP profitability weakened overall in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA fell 25.8% to RMB286.6 million, and core net income decreased 23.9% to RMB211.2 million, even though Q4 2025 core net income grew 9.2% year over year with a higher margin.

What drove GreenTree (GHG) revenue declines in 2025?

Revenue declines were driven by weaker hotel and restaurant performance. Hotel RevPAR fell, management temporarily waived RMB21.0 million of fees for challenged franchisees, membership revenues declined, and the company closed 15 leased-and-operated hotels and 6 leased-and-operated stores.

What impairments did GreenTree record in its restaurant business?

GreenTree recognized sizable restaurant-related impairments in 2025. In Q4 2025 it booked a goodwill impairment of RMB66.5 million and an indefinite-lived intangible impairment of RMB17.3 million, both tied to restaurant trademarks and goodwill, reducing reported operating and net results.

What guidance did GreenTree give for its 2026 hotel business?

Management expects flat organic hotel revenue in 2026. The company anticipates the decline of total revenues from its organic hotel business for full-year 2026 will be flat compared with 2025 levels, reflecting recovery trends balanced against short-term industry fluctuations.
