    Kevin's questions to GreenTree Hospitality Group (GHG) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Kevin from an unknown firm asked about the hospitality industry's performance trend, how the company's Q3 results compare to peers, and the outlook for the restaurant business in Q4.

    Answer

    Executive Alex Xu explained that the company's RevPAR was more severely impacted by the industry's downward trend due to a higher percentage of older, legacy hotels in its portfolio. However, he noted an improvement in occupancy in October and expects Q4 to be stronger, with newer hotels driving future outperformance. For the restaurant segment, Mr. Xu attributed its return to profitability to strategic repositioning of stores to high-traffic areas and supply chain enhancements, expressing cautious optimism for sustained profitability.
