H World Group Limited Announces Preliminary Results for Hotel Operations in the Third Quarter of 2022
October 25 2022 - 7:15AM
H World Group Limited (NASDAQ: HTHT and HKEX: 1179) (“H World”,
“we” or “our”), a key player in the global hotel industry, today
announced preliminary results for hotel operations in the third
quarter (“Q3 2022”) ended September 30, 2022.
COVID-19 update For our
Legacy-Huazhu business, our RevPAR in Q3 2022 recovered to 90% of
the 2019 level, thanks to pent-up leisure travelling demand in the
summer holiday during July and August 2022, as well as gradual
recovery of business travelling in late September 2022. Breaking
down into each month, our RevPAR in July, August and September 2022
recovered to 90%, 89% and 90% of the 2019 levels, respectively.
However, we remain cautious on the recovery path in Q4 2022 as we
are seeing more sporadic resurgences of COVID in various provinces
and cities in China recently.
Steigenberger Hotels AG and its subsidiaries
(“DH”, or “Legacy-DH”) have experienced continuing RevPAR recovery
in Q3 2022. After recovering to 93% of 2019 levels in Q2 2022,
blended RevPAR increased to 102% of 2019 levels in Q3 2022. Blended
RevPAR recovery was driven by a 17% increase in ADR, while
occupancy remained 10 percentage points behind 2019 levels. Due to
expected energy shortages and resulting high inflation rates in
Europe, further ADR increases will be required to cover the cost
increases. Therefore, the focus of DH will continue to be on
efficiency improvements, re-negotiation of lease contracts, and
personnel cost optimization.
