| (4,351 | ) |
Hotel operating costs in the first quarter
of 2024 were RMB3.6 billion (US$494 million), compared to RMB3.3 billion in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB4.0 billion in the previous
quarter. The year-over-year cost increase was mainly due to our hotel network expansion as well as reduced rental reliefs with leased
hotels. The quarter-over-quarter cost decrease was mainly attributable to an impairment loss of RMB362 million booked for property and
equipment and right-of-use assets in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to no impairment loss booked in the first quarter of 2024.
Hotel operating costs from the Legacy-Huazhu segment in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB2.6 billion, which represented 61.6% of revenue,
compared to RMB2.4 billion or 66.3% of the revenue in the first quarter of 2023, and RMB2.9 billion or 67.0% of revenue for the previous
quarter. Hotel operating costs from the Legacy-DH segment in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB950 million, which represented 92.0% of

previous quarter.
Selling and marketing expenses in the
first quarter of 2024 were RMB260 million (US$36 million), compared to RMB195 million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB326 million
in the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses from the Legacy-Huazhu segment in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB159 million,
which represented 3.7% of revenue, compared to RMB117 million or 3.3% of revenue in the first quarter of 2023, and RMB202 million or
4.6% of revenue in the previous quarter. The year-over-year expense increase was mainly due to continued business growth and a return
to a more-normal level of selling and marketing expenses spending from the relatively low base of the same period of last year. Selling
and marketing expenses from the Legacy-DH segment in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB101 million, which represented 9.8% of revenue,
compared to RMB78 million or 8.8% of revenue in the first quarter of 2023, and RMB124 million or 10.3% of revenue in the previous quarter.
General and administrative expenses in
the first quarter of 2024 were RMB509 million (US$70 million), compared to RMB425 million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB644 million
in the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses from the Legacy-Huazhu segment in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB395
million, which represented 9.3% of revenue, compared to RMB312 million or 8.7% in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB484 million or 11.0%
for the previous quarter. The year-over-year expense increase was mainly due to a return to a more-normal level of headcount number and
compensation increase from the relatively low base of the same period of 2023. General and administrative expenses from the Legacy-DH
segment in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB114 million, which represented 11.0% of revenue, compared to RMB113 million or 12.8% in
the first quarter of 2023 and RMB160 million or 13.3% for the previous quarter.
Pre-opening expenses in the first quarter
of 2024 were primarily related to the Legacy-Huazhu segment and totaled RMB8 million, compared to RMB9 million in the first quarter of
2023 and RMB3 million in the previous quarter. The pre-opening expenses remained at a low level, which was attributable to more selective
openings of leased and owned hotels.
Other operating income, net in the first
quarter of 2024 was RMB76 million (US$10 million), compared to RMB74 million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB155 million in the previous
quarter.
Income from operations in the first quarter
of 2024 was RMB1.0 billion (US$139 million), compared to RMB664 million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB757 million in the previous
quarter. Income from operations from the Legacy-Huazhu segment in the first quarter of 2024 was RMB1.1 billion, compared to RMB822 million
in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB821 million in the previous quarter. The Legacy-DH segment had a loss from operations of RMB128 million
in the first quarter of 2024, compared to RMB158 million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB64 million in the previous quarter.

operations as a percentage of revenue, was 19.0% in the first quarter of 2024, compared with 14.8% in the first quarter of 2023 and 13.6%
for the previous quarter. The margin improvement was mainly due to higher revenue contribution from manachised and franchised business.
This was in line with our asset-light expansion strategy. Operating margin from the Legacy-Huazhu segment in the first quarter of 2024
was 26.6%, compared with 22.9% in the first quarter of 2023 and 18.7% in the previous quarter. Operating margin from the Legacy-DH segment
in the first quarter of 2024 was a negative 12.4%, compared with a negative 17.8% in the first quarter of 2023 and a negative 5.3% in
the previous quarter.
Other income, net in the first quarter
of 2024 was RMB40 million (US$6 million), compared to RMB514 million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB2 million for the previous quarter.
The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the sale of the remainder of the Company’s holdings of Accor shares during the first
quarter of 2023.
Gain from fair value changes of equity securities
in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB38 million (US$5 million), compared to RMB13 million in the first quarter of 2023, and RMB124
million in the previous quarter. Gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities mainly represents the unrealized gain (loss)
from our investment in equity securities with readily determinable fair values.
Income tax expense in the first quarter
of 2024 was RMB279 million (US$39 million), compared to RMB194 million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB281 million in the previous
quarter.
Net income attributable to H World Group Limited
in the first quarter of 2024 was RMB659 million (US$91 million), compared with RMB990 million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB743
million in the previous quarter. Net income attributable to H World Group Limited from the Legacy-Huazhu segment was RMB833 million in
the first quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB827 million in the previous quarter. Net
loss attributable to H World Group Limited from the Legacy-DH segment was RMB174 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with
RMB165 million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB84 million in the previous quarter.
EBITDA (non-GAAP) in the first quarter
of 2024 was RMB1.3 billion (US$181 million), compared with RMB1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB1.4 billion in the previous
quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA, which excluded share-based
compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on
disposal of investments from EBITDA (non-GAAP), was RMB1.4 billion (US$197 million) in the first quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1.0
million in the first quarter of 2023 and RMB1.1 billion in the previous quarter. Adjusted EBITDA from the Legacy-Huazhu segment, which
is a segment measure, was RMB1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2023 and
RMB1.1 billion in the previous quarter. Adjusted EBITDA from the Legacy-DH segment, which is a segment measure, was a loss of RMB66 million
in the first quarter of 2024, compared with a loss of RMB98 million in the first quarter of 2023 and a loss of RMB6 million in the previous
quarter. To better reflect the profitability of our core business, we have redefined the non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA, and therefore
the above adjusted EBITDA in the first and fourth quarter of 2023 has been restated.
Cash flow. Operating cash inflow in the
first quarter of 2024 was RMB886 million (US$123 million). Investing cash inflow in the first quarter of 2024 was RMB348 million (US$48
million). Financing cash outflow in the first quarter of 2024 was RMB2.3 billion (US$313 million).

its revenue growth to be in the range of 7%-11% compared to the second quarter of 2023, or in the range of 7%-11% excluding DH.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s unaudited consolidated
financial results presented in accordance with U.S. Generally-Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company
uses the following non-GAAP measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”):
adjusted net income (loss) attributable to H World Group Limited excluding share-based compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value
changes of equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of investments; adjusted basic and diluted
earnings (losses) per share/ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities,
foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of investments; EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA excluding share-based compensation
expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of
investments. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures,
please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this release.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Company performance
by excluding share-based compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss),
net and gain (loss) on disposal of investments that may not be indicative of Company operating performance. The Company believes that
both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Company performance and when planning
and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s
historical performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency
with respect to supplemental information used regularly by Company management in financial and operational decision-making. A limitation
of using non-GAAP financial measures excluding share-based compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities,
foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of investments is that share-based compensation expenses, gain (loss) from
fair value changes of equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of investments have been and may
continue to be significant and recurring in the Company’s business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific
information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations
between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
The Company believes that EBITDA is a useful
financial metric to assess the operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income
taxes, given the significant investments that the Company has made in leasehold improvements, depreciation and amortization expense that
comprise a significant portion of the Company’s cost structure. In addition, the Company believes that EBITDA is widely used by
other companies in the lodging industry and may be used by investors as a measure of financial performance. The Company believes that
EBITDA information provides investors with a useful tool for comparability between periods because it excludes depreciation and amortization
expense attributable to capital expenditures. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA to assess operating results of its hotels in operation.
The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities,
foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of investments helps facilitate year-over-year comparisons of the results
of operations as the share-based compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities, foreign exchange gain
(loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of investments may not be indicative of Company operating performance.
Therefore, the Company believes adjusted EBITDA
more closely reflects the financial performance capability of our hotels. The presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be
construed as an indication that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains considered to be outside
the ordinary course of business.
The use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA has certain
limitations. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets (including land use rights), income tax, interest expense
and interest income have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA. Share-based compensation expenses,
gain (loss) from fair value changes of equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of investments
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 the results. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of depreciation
and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, gain (loss) from fair value
changes of equity securities, foreign exchange gain (loss), net and gain (loss) on disposal of investments all in the reconciliations
to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and in the consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the
performance of the Company.
The terms EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not
defined under U.S. GAAP, and neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA is a measure of net income, operating income, operating performance or
liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When assessing the operating and financial performance, investors should not consider
these data in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s net income, operating income or any other operating performance measure
that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company’s EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to
EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA
or adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as the Company does.
Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP
financial measures, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, to the consolidated statement of operations information are included at the
end of this press release.
