COVID update

For our Legacy-Huazhu business, our RevPAR in the fourth quarter of 2022 recovered to approximately 83% of the 2019 level. The recovery was accelerated after the Chinese government announced the reopening policy in mid-November. Breaking RevPAR down by month, our October, November and December 2022 RevPAR recovered to 74%, 87% and 91% of their respective 2019 levels.

Legacy-DH experienced a seasonal slowdown of RevPAR recovery in the fourth quarter of 2022. Blended RevPAR recovered to 110% of the 2019 levels in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the recovery of Steigenberger hotels in Qatar and Egypt. Excluding the positive effects of the FIFA World Cup and the COP27 UN Climate Conference, RevPAR recovered to 100% of the 2019 level. RevPAR recovery continued to be driven primarily by ADR increases, while occupancy levels still remained below the 2019 level. The gradual alleviation of energy-related risks reduced the price of energy in Europe. However, inflation continues to increase our operating costs. We will do our best to tackle the challenges brought by the rising costs through further ADR increases as well as an ongoing focus on cost reduction, process optimization and stringent cash management.
