"I am proud of the Q2 results we achieved,especially considering the difficult environment that we operated under as a result of COVID-19. Through it all,our business remained resilient and highly adaptable. Wecontinued to serve and protect our guests,our sales recovered,and we returned to profitability," said Mr. Alex Xu,Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GreenTree. "I know it was not easy for our staff and franchiseeswho worked tirelessly to guarantee the safety and health of our guests. I know it was a real challenge for anyone in the hospitality industry to overcome the headwinds from COVID-19"continued Mr. Xu.

"I am also proud of our staff and franchisees for what they delivered this quarter. We quickly adjusted our operations and marketing campaigns to meet evolving consumer preferences and weaker market conditions. We protected our margins thanks to our flexible cost structure and the measures we implemented over recent quarters and that we will continue to implement for the rest of 2020. As a result,our organic same-hotel RevPAR,excluding hotels under requisition,temporary closures,and impact from consolidated entities,deceased 22.2% in the second quarter to 112 RMB. Our overall performance was better than the average across the hospitality industry in China. Our occupancy rate has rebounded and exceeded 75% on average during the second half of July,exceeded 82% during the first two weeks of August,up substantially from 65% in the second half of May.

With the Chinese government's efforts to bring the spread of COVID-19 under control,domestic tourism and business is gradually bouncing back. On July 15,the Ministry of Culture and Tourism lifted restrictions on inter-provincial travel. The lifting of these restrictions has stimulated business travel and summer travel and helped the hospitality sector to deliver steady and improved performance. With assistance and support from the government and our business partners,together with our core strengths such as our large and loyal membership and strong operational capabilities,we are well positioned todeliver another year of outstanding service to our guests,strong performance to our franchisees,and sustainable growth to our shareholders."

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2020were RMB216.0 million (US$30.6 million)[1],representing a 21.4% year-over-year decrease.

Total revenues for the first half of 2020 were RMB373.4 million (US$52.8 million)[1],representing a 26.8% decrease.

Total revenues from leased-and-operated hotels for the second quarter of 2020 were RMB50.3 million (US$7.1 million) [1],representing a 16.8% year-over-year decrease.

The 24.3% decrease from the second quarter of 2019 in recurring franchisee management fees and others was primarily due to the delay in new hotel openings andRevPAR decrease of 35.2%.

Hotel operating costs for the second quarter of 2020 were RMB94.9 million (US$13.4 million) [1],representing a 20.2% increase year-over-year. The increase was mainly attributable to higher rents,higher depreciation and amortization,and the consolidation of operation costs of Argyle Hotel Management Group (Australia) Pty Ltd ("Argyle") and Urban. Argyle's costs increased compared to one year ago,primarily due to rents for 2 L&O hotels in development. Excluding the impact from acquiredentities,hotel operating costs for this quarter decreased 6.2%,which was primarily due to a decrease in salaries of hotel staffs and regional general managers,and decreases in utilities,consumable,food and beverage,which resulted from the declined occupancy rate. For the first half of 2020,hotel operating costs were RMB184.7 million (US$26.1 million)[1],representing a 16.2% increase.

COVID-19 Update

With the Chinese government's efforts to bring the spread of COVID-19 under control,domestic tourism and business is gradually bouncing back. According to the STR data,the occupancy rate of hotels in China has been improving steadily during the second quarter and reached 63.1% during the last week of July,up substantially from the low of 8.4% during the week of February 9,2020. Although new COVID-19 cases were reported in Beijing and Dalian in the middle of June,the outbreak quickly came under control thanks to local governments' effective measures and an adequate supply of nucleic acid detection test kits. With the economic environment improving,business traveling gradually returned to normal starting late June.

On July 15,The Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced that the restrictions on cross provincial travel would be lifted. The lifting of these restrictions will stimulate business travel and summer travel and help the hospitality sector to deliver steady and improved performance. With all the endeavor and assistance from the government and our business partners,most franchisees have now resumed business operations. Our occupancy rate has rebounded and exceeded 75% on average in the second half of July,up substantially from 65% in the second half of May.

Guidance

Due to the impact of COVID-19,the Company expects a decline in total revenues in the third quarter of 2020 of 8%-13% year-over-year,and a decline in total revenues of 10%-15% for the full year 2020,compared to 2019.

The guidance set forth above reflects the Company's current and preliminary views based on our recovery speed and may not be indicative of the final financial results for future interim periods and the full year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and core net income,as we present it,is a useful financial metric to assess our operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions,income taxes and certain non-core and non-recurring items in our financial statements.

The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and core net income should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains we consider to be outside the ordinary course of our business.

The use of Adjusted EBITDA and core net income has certain limitations because it does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect our operations. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and core net income are significant components in understanding and assessing our operating and financial performance. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets,income tax and share-based compensation 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 our results. Additionally,Adjusted EBITDA and core net income does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization,interest expense/income,gains/losses from investments in equity securities,income tax expenses,share-based compensation,share of loss in equity investees,government subsidies and other relevant items both in our reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements,all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

The term Adjusted EBITDA and core net income is not defined under U.S. GAAP,and Adjusted EBITDA and core net income is not a measure of net income,operating income,operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When assessing our operating and financial performance,you should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for our net income,operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition,our Adjusted EBITDA and core net income may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and core net income or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and core net income in the same manner as we do.

Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures,including Adjusted EBITDA and core net income,to the consolidated statement of operations information are included at the end of this press release.
