H World Group Limited Announces Preliminary Results for Hotel Operations in the Second Quarter of 2022
July 20 2022 - 7:30AM
H World Group Limited (NASDAQ: HTHT and HKEX: 1179) (“H World”,
“we” or “our”), a world-leading hotel group, today announced
preliminary results for hotel operations in the second quarter (“Q2
2022”) ended June 30, 2022.
COVID-19 update For our
Legacy-Huazhu business, the large-scale outbreak of Omicron variant
in China since early-March 2022 led to massive lockdown in various
cities and sharp decline in the demand for both business and
leisure travel. As a result, our RevPAR in Q2 2022 only recovered
to 69% of the 2019 level. Breaking down into each month, April and
May 2022 were the hardest-hit with RevPAR only having recovered to
53% and 65% of the 2019 levels respectively. However, RevPAR
recovery improved in June 2022 to 86% of the 2019 level due to
gradual lift of lockdown since late May 2022. In addition, if we
consider the impacts of requisitioned hotels, our RevPAR recovery
in Q2 2022 would have been 75% of the 2019 level.
Steigenberger Hotels AG and its subsidiaries
(“DH”, or “Legacy-DH”) have seen an accelerating RevPAR recovery in
Q2 2022. While RevPAR in March 2022 was 35% lower than the 2019
level, June 2022 RevPAR was only 1% behind that of 2019. However,
against the background of surging inflation in Europe and the
resulting substantial increase in costs as well as uncertainties
about the future development of COVID-19 and energy supplies, DH
has been focusing on cash flow improvement measures. As a
consequence, DH will continue to focus on efficiency improvements,
re-negotiation of lease contracts, and personnel cost
optimization.
