H World Group Limited Announces Preliminary Results for Hotel Operations in the Fourth Quarter and the Full Year of 2022
January 31 2023 - 6:15AM
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 fourth
quarter (“Q4 2022”) and the full year ended December 31, 2022.
COVID-19 update For our
Legacy-Huazhu business, our RevPAR in Q4 2022 recovered to 83% of
the 2019 level. The recovery was accelerated after Chinese
Government announced the reopening policy in mid-November. Breaking
down into each month, our RevPAR in October, November and December
2022 recovered to 74%, 87% and 91% of the 2019 levels,
respectively. The trend continued during the Spring Festival
holiday with RevPAR recovered to roughly 95% of 2019 seven days’
holiday period.
Steigenberger Hotels GmbH and its subsidiaries
(“DH”, or “Legacy-DH”) have experienced a seasonal slowdown of
RevPAR recovery in Q4 2022. Blended RevPAR recovered to 110% of
2019 levels in Q4, driven by the Steigenberger hotels in Qatar and
Egypt. Excluding the effects of the FIFA World Cup and the COP27 UN
Climate Conference, the RevPAR recovered to 100% of 2019 levels.
RevPAR recovery continues to be driven by ADR increases while
occupancy levels still remain behind the levels achieved in 2019.
The ongoing reduction of energy-related risks eases energy prices
in Europe. However, inflation is continuing to impact operating
costs. We will bridge the rising cost through further rate
increases as well as an ongoing focus on cost reduction, process
optimization and stringent cash management.Operating

hotel closures mainly included non-compliance with our brand
standards, operating losses, and property-related issues. In Q4
2022, we temporarily closed 10 hotels for brand upgrade and
business model change purposes.(3) As of December
