Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Homeinns Hotel Group’s unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Homeinns Hotel Group uses the following non-GAAP measures:

(a) total operating costs and expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses and acquisition and integration costs and expenses related to going-private activities

(b) total leased-and-operated hotel costs excluding share-based compensation expenses and integration costs

(c) personnel costs of franchised-and-managed hotels excluding share-based compensation expenses

(d) sales and marketing expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses

(e) general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses and acquisition and integration costs and expenses related to going-private activities

(f) income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses and acquisition and integration costs and expenses related to going-private activities

(g) adjusted net income attributable to shareholders excluding any share-based compensation expenses, foreign exchange gain or loss, acquisition and integration cost, upfront fee amortization of term loan, gain or loss from fair value change of convertible notes and interest swap derivatives and other non-operating expenses and expenses related to going-private activities

(h) adjusted basic and diluted earnings per ADS and per share excluding foreign exchange gain or loss, share-based compensation expenses, gain on buy-back of convertible bonds, issuance costs for convertible notes, gain or loss from fair value change of convertible notes, acquisition and integration cost, non-operating expenses and upfront fee amortization of term loan, and expenses related to going-private activities

(i) adjusted EBITDA excluding foreign exchange gain or loss, share-based compensation expenses, gain on buy-back of convertible bonds, issuance costs for convertible notes, gain or loss from fair value change of convertible notes, acquisition and integration costs, non-operating expenses and upfront fee amortization of term loan and expenses related to going-private activities

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 “Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this press release.

Homeinns Hotel Group believes that, used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance, and both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes that EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, is a useful financial metric to assess Homeinns Hotel Group’s operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes. In addition, management believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the lodging industry and may be used as an analysis tool by both management and investors to measure and compare Homeinns Hotel Group’s operational and financial performance with industry peers.

One of the limitations of using non-GAAP income from operations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders is that they do not include all items that impact Homeinns Hotel Group’s net income (loss) for the period. These non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expenses, foreign exchange gain or loss and gain or loss from fair value change of convertible notes, which have been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in Homeinns Hotel Group’s business. In addition, Homeinns Hotel Group’s EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as Homeinns Hotel Group does. Management compensates for this and other limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. Homeinns Hotel Group computes the non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results are included at the end of this press release. The non-GAAP adjustment items do not include the tax impact.

The presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that Homeinns Hotel Group’s future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains Homeinns Hotel Group considers to be outside the ordinary course of its business.

Homeinns Hotel Group completed its acquisition of 100% equity interest in Motel 168, or Motel, and took control of Motel effective on October 1, 2011. Homeinns Hotel Group had consolidated Motel’s operating and financial results since October 1, 2011. By the third quarter of 2013, Homeinns Hotel Group had substantially completed Motel’s integration and ceased to present separate operating metrics and revenues for Motel.

“Occupancy rate” refers to the total number of occupied rooms divided by the total number of available rooms in a given period.        

“Average daily rate” refers to total hotel room revenues divided by the total number of occupied rooms in a given period.        

“RevPAR” represents revenue per available room, which is calculated by dividing total hotel room revenues by the total number of available rooms in a given period, or by multiplying average daily rates and occupancy rates in a given period.
