小鹏汽车因竞争加剧,收入预期黯淡

财务预测 (SeaPRwire) - 小鹏汽车 (NYSE:XPEV) 预计第三季度的收入将低于预期,预计数字将低于该公司的预期。该公司报告称,其第三季度收入预计将在 91 亿元至 98 亿元之间,而分析师预计约为 104 亿元。 季度表现 在 6 月份的季度业绩中,小鹏汽车的收入为 81.1 亿元人民币 (11.4 亿美元),低于预期的 81.7 亿元人民币。尽管毛利率略微上升至 14%,增长了 1.1 个百分点,但小鹏汽车仍在与激烈的竞争和其现有电动汽车 (EV) 产品线需求下降作斗争。 车辆交付 小鹏汽车的目标是在第三季度交付 41,000 至 45,000 辆汽车,超过去年同期交付的 40,008 辆。该公司报告称,4 月至 6 月期间的汽车利润率提高至 6.4%,高于上一季度的 5.5%。 未来计划和挑战 为了增强其市场地位,小鹏汽车计划在未来三年内以 10 万元至 40 万元 (14,001.88 美元至 56,007.51 美元) 的价格更新其车型阵容,推出新款电动汽车。即将推出的 MONA M03 中型轿车将与比亚迪的 Seagull 和 Dolphin 车型以及特斯拉的 Model 3 竞争。 然而,小鹏汽车的扩张计划面临挑战,特别是由于欧盟委员会对中国制造的电动汽车征收关税。该公司正在考虑在欧洲建立一家制造工厂,以减轻这些关税的影响。 竞争格局 小鹏汽车正在与国内玩家如比亚迪和蔚来 (NYSE:NIO) 以及包括特斯拉 (NASDAQ:TSLA) 在内的全球竞争对手展开激烈竞争。这种竞争压力加上监管障碍正在影响小鹏汽车的财务前景和市场策略。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

亚马逊股票:人工智能成本上升的影响 Finance

亚马逊股票:人工智能成本上升的影响

亚马逊股票表现 (SeaPRwire) - 亚马逊股票 (NASDAQ:AMZN) 在大型科技股中面临着独特的挑战,因为它在人工智能 (AI) 计算方面的支出影响了其盈利能力和股票表现。在 8 月初发布财报后,亚马逊股票的表现落后于其他大型科技股。这家电子商务巨头将重点转向人工智能投资,标志着其此前削减成本措施的转变,导致利润大幅增长,股价大幅上涨。 投资者担心,资本支出的增加将对现金流产生负面影响。从历史上看,当亚马逊公司强调提高盈利能力而不是增加投资时,亚马逊股票的表现会更好。最近重回投资模式的转变令投资者质疑,强劲的股价表现时期是否会暂停或结束。自财报发布以来,亚马逊的股价一直保持在财报发布前水平以下 3% 以上,而包括其他主要科技股在内的彭博七大奇迹指数在同一时期上涨了约 4%。 投资者担忧和市场反应 投资者担心支出增加会损害盈利能力,这一点至关重要,尤其是在利润率扩张是亚马逊股价在 7 月初达到顶峰之前上涨 30% 以上的关键驱动因素的情况下。Benchmark 的丹尼尔·库尔诺斯 (Daniel Kurnos) 认为,最近的事件可能会导致未来几个季度利润率进一步下降,因为在潜在不稳定的宏观经济环境中,公司将重新关注营收增长。 亚马逊多元化的业务模式,包括零售、视频流媒体以及电影和电视,对其表现的影响与其他科技公司不同。虽然 AWS 云计算部门仍然强劲,但美国消费者需求疲软可能会对零售部门产生负面影响。投资者似乎在等待更多关于消费者行为的信息,这可能解释了为什么亚马逊股票的表现不如其他科技巨头。 此外,投资者越来越担心亚马逊不断增长的现金储备以及其不支付股息。与其他主要科技公司不同,亚马逊不支付股息,在回购股票方面也行动较慢。虽然其同行已经授权了大量的回购计划,但亚马逊在 2022 年批准的 100 亿美元回购计划在 6 月底之前完成不到一半,并且在上个季度没有回购任何股票。 与科技同行对比分析 亚马逊面临着越来越大的压力,要求其争夺投资者资金,尤其是当 Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META)、Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) 和 Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:BKNG) 等公司开始在回购的同时发放股息时。摩根士丹利分析师布莱恩·诺瓦克 (Brian Nowak) 领导的团队表示,亚马逊的资本回报政策与同行相比影响较小。如果这种情况到 2025 年底没有改变,亚马逊的净现金余额可能占其总市值的 8%,使其成为按市值计算排名前 25 的标普 500 指数公司之一。持续的资本回报政策有可能提高亚马逊的现金流倍数。 尽管存在这些挑战,但有迹象表明,投资者开始买入包括亚马逊股票在内的被打压的科技股,包括 Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA)、Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) 和 Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)。亚马逊的股价自 8 月 5 日的最新低点以来已经上涨了约 11%。 亚马逊股价最近的下跌使其估值降至约 28 倍预期收益,这比大多数所谓的“七大奇迹”公司都低,只有 Alphabet 的倍数更低。亚马逊的估值也略高于纳斯达克 100 指数,该指数的预期收益倍数约为 26 倍。投资者继续将“七大奇迹”公司的下跌视为买入机会,并且倾向于恢复这种策略,直到它被证明无效为止。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Hengdeli Announces 2024 Interim Results Sound, Steady, and Long-Term Operations ACN Newswire

Hengdeli Announces 2024 Interim Results Sound, Steady, and Long-Term Operations

HONG KONG, Aug 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hengdeli Holdings Limited (“Hengdeli” or the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 3389) announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (" the period under review").In the first half of 2024, the global economy was still confronted with multiple pressures such as geopolitical conflicts and inflation risks. China’s economic growth slowed down, while overall operation remained stable and the trend of stabilization continued. In the face of a relatively complex operating environment, under the principle of “sound, steady and long-term operations”, the Group adapted its business to the market conditions and strived for the survival and health of the enterprise to safeguard the interests of its shareholders.During the review period, the Group recorded revenue of RMB580,361,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB675,621,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 14.1%; high-end consuming accessories business recorded revenue of RMB352,339,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB316,992,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 11.2%; commodity trading revenue amounted to RMB228,022,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB358,629,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 36.4%. During the period under review, the Group recorded a profit of RMB499,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: loss of RMB8,799,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 105.7%. Loss attributable to equity shareholders amounted to RMB2,504,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: loss of RMB1,985,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 26.1%. The increase in loss was mainly attributable to the increase in depreciation expenses on property, plant and equipment and foreign exchange losses incurred by the operating units as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.During the period under review, in regards of high-end consuming accessories business, the Group took various measures to cope with complicated operating environment. The Group laid a solid foundation to maintain stability, sought development driven by innovation, continuously broadened its business modes, enhancing the level of technological innovation, the Group standardized and strengthened its informational and automatic management, all measures mentioned above achieved remarkable results. During the period under review, the high-end consuming accessories business achieved remarkable results, with better growth in both revenue and profit.In terms of international trading, during the period under review, the sales and profit of the international commodity trading business decreased as compared to the same period last year as a result of decline in the selling price of ore sand and the lower purchasing intention of customers, but still maintained a positive profitability. During the period, the Group planned to build a bulk cargo transshipment logistics park in Mexico, which integrates customs clearance, import, transportation and warehousing, and is dedicated to serving large-scale enterprises in China. In terms of international shipping, during the period under review, the global dry bulk shipping market performed strongly. The Group seized the opportunities of the rising market to vigorously expand its business by developing new customers and signing long voyage transportation contracts with its customers to lock in long-term profits for the Company. In addition to engaging in the traditional transportation routes, the Group opened up its first bauxite transportation route between Turkey and China and signed long-term transportation agreements with renowned companies in Turkey, which yielded relatively satisfactory returns. The Group’s shipping business achieved good results in terms of revenue and profit in the first half of the year.At present, the global political situation is still experiencing a high degree of unrest, and the instability and uncertainty of the economic environment are on the rise. While the recovery of the mainland Chinese economy is evident, factors such as the deepening of structural adjustment will continue to pose new challenges. However, the favorable conditions for the economic development of Mainland China outweigh the unfavorable factors, and the trend of stable and long-term development remains unchanged. As the effects from the government’s various economic policies and measures materialized, it is believed that China’s economic growth momentum will continue to rise.In the second half of the year, the Group will continue to adhere to the principle of “sound, steady, and long-term operations”, and will leverage the stable business environment in Mainland China that “pursues stability while seeking progress” to keep abreast of the market trend and further advance the process of international trade steadily. Additionally, the Group will continuously expand and strengthen the international shipping business, which is closely related to international trade, and strive to become a stronger participant in the international shipping supply chain and achieve new breakthroughs in corporate development.The Group will continue to adapt to market demands and continuously enhance the service standard of its integrated services for commercial space in both Mainland China and international markets. The Group will also continuously adjust the manufacturing of high-end accessories for renowned watches while embarking on a limited number of diversified business activities including the manufacturing of high-end consuming accessories in highend lifestyle products such as jewellery, cosmetics and mobile phones, and expanding its commercial space beautification services to include living space beautification services, thus becoming an indispensable independent segment in the industry ecological chain of high-end consuming accessories.

Mitsubishi Ralliart’s Triton Finishes in Fifth Place Overall in Asia Cross Country Rally 2024: Team Determined to Make a Comeback Next Year JCN Newswire

Mitsubishi Ralliart’s Triton Finishes in Fifth Place Overall in Asia Cross Country Rally 2024: Team Determined to Make a Comeback Next Year

TOKYO, Aug 21, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (hereafter, Mitsubishi Motors) announced that Team Mitsubishi Ralliart, for which the company provides technical support, has won fifth place overall in the Asia Cross Country Rally (hereafter, AXCR) 2024, held in Thailand from August 11 to 17, with the Triton1 (T1 specification, or modified cross-country vehicle). The total distance covered was 2,075.54 kilometers (km), including 939.58 km2 of special stages, and Katsuhiko Taguchi finished in fifth place overall with a total time of 15 hours, 34 minutes and 52 seconds.In the overall standings, Kazuto Koide, who competed for the first time, placed 24th, and Sakchai Hantrakul placed 27th. Chayapon Yotha retired from first place overall in Leg 5, ending in 42nd overall.This year’s AXCR held its ceremonial start on August 11 at the landmark clock tower in Surat Thani, Thailand. The rally proper began with Leg 1 the following day, and Leg 2 took the participants from Surat Thani to Hua Hin, covering over 550 km and making it the longest section of the entire competition. Leg 3 was a special stage in the Hua Hin area, and with Leg 4, the rally headed to Kanchanaburi, on an undulating track through mountainous terrain. Leg 4 was the toughest special stage of the six days, as many teams struggled with the route over the mountains with rocky terrain, and more than 10 teams were penalized for failing to finish within the allowed time. Leg 5 was the longest special stage in this year's competition, covering 228.87 km in the Kanchanaburi area, and the competition concluded with Leg 6 on August 17, finishing at Skywalk Avenue, close to the new tourist attraction Skywalk Kanchanaburi.This was the second year for Katsuhiko Taguchi, who started from seventh position. Although he had a hard time with the challenging course settings, he drove carefully and steadily to complete each day's special stage and improved his position from eighth place overall last year to finish in fifth place overall.Sakchai Hantrakul started from 30th position and jumped up to fifth place in Leg 1, but was troubled by course errors and vehicle issues, finishing in 27th place.Kazuto Koide, who competed as an employee driver, struggled at first with the course, but he continued to drive steadily, demonstrating his adaptability and supporting his teammates who got stuck or had vehicle trouble. In the end, he finished in 24th place overall.The previous year's 3rd place overall winner, Chayapon Yotha started furthest forward for Team Mitsubishi Ralliart and drove steadily, setting times that placed him in the top ranks day after day. By the end of Leg 4, which was the toughest of all the special stages, the Triton's high off-road handling performance showed its true potential, putting him in the overall lead with a margin of over 20 minutes ahead of second place. However, due to vehicle trouble in Leg 5, he was unable to continue and had to retire from the rally.Comment from Hiroshi Masuoka, team director of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart“This year's Triton was perfected with enhanced performance, showing powerful driving that covered the displacement gap with our rivals and even took the overall lead at one point. It is unfortunate that we were unable to win, but the Triton was able to fully demonstrate its excellent off-road capabilities that Mitsubishi vehicles have honed over the decades. After returning to Japan, Koide, an employee driver who had competed for the first time, and others will reflect the valuable data and knowledge gained from this rally in the development of production vehicles, adding a new chapter to our tradition of leveraging motorsports experience for vehicle development. We will undergo rigorous tests again, and Team Mitsubishi Ralliart will make a comeback next year. We would like to thank our sponsors for their generous support and our fans around the world for their enthusiastic cheering."Comment from Katsuhiko Taguchi, driving Car #107 for Team Mitsubishi Ralliart“The 2024 Triton rally car was packaged at a high level and was just easy to drive. I am happy to have improved my position from last year, but I am also disappointed because I had a good feeling that I could aim for a higher position. We will use this years’ experience as feedback to further improve the driving performance of the Triton next year, so that we can stay competitive at the top.”Comment from Kazuto Koide, driving Car #137 for Team Mitsubishi Ralliart“The Triton rally car I drove was a 2023 model based on a production car and has a drive mode called 4LLc for rocky terrain. Using this mode, I was able to climb a nearly 40-degree incline without difficulty while towing my teammate's car, and I was reminded once again of the high off-road performance of the Triton production car.

Moreover, the course itself was difficult – the vigorous plants of Thailand grew wildly from the time the roadbook was created until the actual rally, so we had to drive through areas that did not look very much like roads. That must have made navigation difficult for the co-driver. I drove the Delica Mini support car, and everywhere we went, the Delica Mini and Delimaru, its official character, were very popular. Whenever we stopped in town, a photo session would start, and many people took videos while we were driving. The Delica Mini may become a very popular model in the Bangkok area. Of course, the Delica Mini was very capable on rough roads, and it was even reliable on Thailand's red dirt off-roads, as well as cracked, pothole-filled paved roads.”Daily reportsDaily reports from August 11, the first day of the competition, to the last leg on August 17 are available on Mitsubishi Motors' special AXCR website. www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/brand/ralliart/axcr/axcr2024/1.

Q2 Metals Clarifies Technical Disclosure

Vancouver, BC, Aug 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) (" Q2 " or the " Company ") announces that, as a result of a technical review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company is issuing the following news release to clarify its technical disclosure as it pertains to the news release issued on August 19, 2024.The Company previously reported the cumulative grades of drill holes CS-24-007 to CS-24-010 at the Company's Cisco Property over ‘cumulative intervals' and ‘cumulative metres.' This disclosure has been removed from the August 19, 2024 news release as well as all previously issued news releases that reported cumulative intervals and/or cumulative metres.As such, the highlights of the Company's inaugural drilling campaign at the Cisco Property included:CS-24-010: Widest interval of 120.3 m at 1.72% Li 2 O including 19.0 m at 2.06% Li 2 OCS-24-007: Widest interval of 27.1 m at 1.96% Li 2 O including 11.1 m at 2.49% Li 2 OCS-24-008: Widest interval of 19.3m at 1.75% Li 2 O including 6.2 m at 2.23% Li 2 OCS-24-009: Widest interval of 82.1m at 1.43% Li 2 O including 15.7 m at 1.88% Li 2 OThe analytical results reported represent the first 1,017 m of drilling over four (4) holes of the 3,753 m that were drilled over 12 holes at the Cisco Property. Initial visual results of those four holes were reported by the Company on June 17, 2024.The Spring 2024 Drill Campaign was designed to expand upon the 2023 drilling by the Property vendors. Hole CS-23-05 ("Hole 5") drilled by the Property vendor ended in pegmatite and assays results confirmed its widest interval of 48.0 m at 1.23% Li 2 O including 9.0 m at 1.73% Li 2 O.Holes CS-24-009 and 010 ("Hole 10") were designed as 50 m westward step-outs from Hole 5. Assay results from these two holes confirmed wide intervals of spodumene pegmatite, with the widest interval reaching 120.3 m at 1.72% Li 2 O, including 19.0 m at 2.06% Li 2 O in Hole 10.Complete highlighted intervals from holes CS-24-007 to 010 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1. All intervals of greater than two (2) metres of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than five (5) metres. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.Figure 1. Map of Inaugural Drill Hole Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyTable 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyTable 2. Summary of Drill Hole Collar Information, Cisco PropertyResults from approximately 2,700 m of drilling eight (8) holes (CS-24-011 to CS-24-018) remain to be reported from the Spring 2024 Drill Campaign and will be released as soon as results are available. Drilling at the Cisco Property is ongoing and will continue into the fall of 2024.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 kilometres ("km") east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAs per the BCSC technical review, information required by sections 3.2 and 3.3 of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") that was inadvertently omitted has also been updated.All drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade was multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li 2 O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release. Mr. McCallum is a director and VP Exploration for Q2.About Q2 Metals CorpQ2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on unlocking its portfolio of lithium projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, that includes both its 100-per-cent-owned Mia Lithium Property and the Cisco Lithium Property.The Cisco lithium property is located approximately 150 km north of Matagami, Que., and comprises 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 ha in size.

H World Group Ltd announces Q2 and Interim 2024 Financial Results

HONG KONG, Aug 20, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - H World Group Limited ("H World" or “the Group”, NASDAQ: HTHT and HKEX: 1179.HK) announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter (“Q2 2024”) and interim period ended June 30, 2024.In the first half of the year, revenue increased by 14.1% year-over-year, with second quarter revenue growth slightly exceeding the upper limit of guidance.H World continues to prioritize customer-centricity, continuously improving the quality of its products and services, leading the industry toward high-quality development. In the first half of 2024, the Group achieved revenue of RMB 11.4 billion (approximately USD 1.6 billion), a 14.1% increase compared to the first half of 2023. Of this, revenue from H World’s business in China("Legacy-Huazhu") was RMB 9.1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 14.3%, while revenue from Huazhu International ("Legacy-DH" or “DH”) was RMB 2.4 billion, up 13.7% year-on-year, with growth in both domestic and international revenue. In the second quarter of 2024, the Group continued to expand its hotel network, achieving revenue of RMB 6.1 billion (approximately USD 846 million), a quarter-on-quarter increase of 16.5% and a year-on-year increase of 11.2%, reaching the upper limit of the previously announced guidance of 7% to 11% growth compared to Q2 2023.On the profitability front, in the first half of 2024, the Group generated an income from operations of RMB 2.6 billion (approximately USD 354 million), representing a year-on-year increase from RMB 2 billion in the first half of 2023. In Q2 2024, income from operations was RMB 1.6 billion (approximately USD 216 million), compared to RMB 1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2023 and RMB 1 billion in the previous quarter. In addition to the growth in both revenue and income from operations, the Group has also improved its profitability through the asset-light expansion strategy. In the first half of 2024, the Group’s operating margin (defined as income from operations as a percentage of revenue) was 22.5%, up 2 percentage points from 20.5% in the first half of 2023. In the second quarter of 2024, the operating margin was 25.6%, an increase from 25.0% in the second quarter of 2023 and 19.0% in the previous quarter, indicating continued optimization of profitability.In the second quarter of 2024, the Group earned a net income attributable to H World Group Limited of RMB 1.1 billion (approximately USD 147 million), compared to RMB 1 billion in Q2 2023 and RMB 659 million in the previous quarter. In order to more effectively reflect the profitability of the Group's core business, adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is used as a measure. In the second quarter of 2024, the Group recorded an adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of RMB 2 billion (approximately USD 280 million), compared with RMB 1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2023 and RMB 1.4 billion in the previous quarter, with both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter growth.Operational Efficiency Improves Quarter-over-Quarter, Strong Brand AppealIn the second quarter of 2024, Legacy-Huazhu's blended revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for leased, owned, manachised and franchised hotels was RMB 244, with an average daily room rate (“ADR”) of RMB 296 and an occupancy rate (“OCC”) of 82.6%. In the previous quarter, these figures were RMB 216, RMB 280, and 77.2%, respectively, while in the same period last year, they were RMB 250, RMB 305, and 81.8%. In the second quarter of 2024, all three key operational indicators for Legacy-Huazhu showed quarter-on-quarter increase. Compared to the same period last year, although RevPAR saw a slight decline of 2% due to a high base from the previous year, with 567 new hotels opened in China during the second quarter of 2024 , the Group has kept a steady pace of openings while achieving a year-over-year increase of 0.7 percentage points in occupancy rate, reflecting strong market recognition and the Group's robust brand appeal. The combination of new openings and rising occupancy rates will maintain the Group's advantageous position in market competition.For Legacy-DH, the blended RevPAR for leased as well as manachised and franchised hotels (excluding hotels temporarily closed) was €82, with an ADR of €120 and an OCC of 68.3%. In the previous quarter, these figures were €58, €104, and 55.8%, while in the same period last year, they were €78, €117, and 67.1%. In Q2 2024, all three key operational indicators for Legacy-DH showed improvements both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, with continuous progress in the Group's overseas business and continuous enhancement of operational efficiency.Accelerated Expansion of Hotel Network, Upgraded Full Year Hotel Opening Guidance for 2024In terms of hotel openings, H World’s hotel network is steadily expanding. As of June 30, 2024, the Group operates a total of 10,286 hotels worldwide, with Legacy-Huazhu having 10,150 operating hotels and Legacy-DH having 136 operating hotels. H World and Legacy-Huazhu reached the remarkable milestone of 10,000 hotels in the second quarter, opening a new chapter for the group. H World has now grown from over 10,000 hotels in more than 1,000 cities to over 20,000 hotels in more than 2,000 cities, achieving high-quality expansion of its hotel network, which signifies a new starting point for its “Thousand Cities, Ten Thousand Hotels 2.0” strategy.At the same time, Legacy-Huazhu will continue to focus on product upgrades, excellent service, and membership programs to enhance the competitive advantage of the H World and promote sustainable growth in average revenue per available room. In terms of overseas business, the group is keen to expand its global footprint and transfer Legacy-DH into a more asset-light model.As of June 30, 2024, the Company has 3,294 hotels under development, including 3,266 for Legacy-Huazhu and 28 for Legacy-DH. Additionally, the group announced an upward revision of its guidance for hotel openings in 2024, expecting to open over 2,200 hotels, up from the previous guidance of 1,800, further expanding its hotel network.Dividends and Buybacks Reflect Corporate Confidence; Positive Outlook for the Hotel IndustryOn July 23, 2024, the board of directors of H World announced a three-year shareholder return plan effective immediately, which may distribute up to a total of $2 billion to the group’s shareholders. It also approved a five-year share repurchase plan for American Depositary Shares, effective from August 21, 2024, with a maximum total amount of $1 billion. Notably, this share repurchase plan replaces the previous plan approved and adopted on August 21, 2019, with a maximum total amount of $750 million. The increased dividend and share repurchase total reflect the group’s confidence in its long-term development.H World is a significant player in the global hospitality industry. The main reason is that Chinese hotels have a strong industry background due to the fact that they have the world's largest tourist population and diverse forms of tourism. According to official statistics, in the first half of 2024, the passenger volume of railway and domestic flights was 2.096 billion and 350 million, respectively, representing year-on-year growth of 18.4% and 23.5%; the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China also reported that the number of tourists during the Labour Day Holiday has returned to a level 28% higher than that of 2019. With the follow-up publicity and promotion of cultural tourism across different regions, residents’ willingness to travel has become stronger. In terms of cross-border travel, inbound tourism is gaining popularity under the “China Travel” trend. Statistics from the National Immigration Administration of China shows that in the first half of the year, 14.635 million foreign visitors entered the country from various ports, a year-on-year increase of 152.7%; the China Tourism Academy also predicts that the number of outbound tourists will reach 130 million in 2024. Overall, consumer enthusiasm for travel is expected to continue to rise in the second half of the year, and the recovery of the macroeconomy will bring more business travel demand, indicating a promising outlook for the hotel industry.About H World Group LimitedOriginated in China, H World Group Limited is a key player in the global hotel industry.
