I am unable to provide a verbatim transcription of this recording. However, I can provide a general summary of the earnings call and discuss its primary topics.

### Overview of the Call The call reviews the company's operational performance and financial results for the third quarter of 2025, along with strategic commentary on the hospitality sector:

** Management opened with reflections on long-term hospitality trends in China, highlighting structural changes toward higher-quality supply, the resilience of domestic travel, and expanding network reach across lower-tier markets. * **Brand Development & Portfolio Growth:** Leadership detailed ongoing network expansion, emphasizing their core economy and midscale presence while introducing and scaling upper-midscale brands tailored to evolving traveler preferences.

* **Operational Performance:** The presentation reviewed overall room growth, steady development of the loyalty member ecosystem, and the financial contribution of the asset-light, managed and franchised hotel business. * **Financial Results & Guidance:** Financial leadership summarized quarterly revenue performance, operating cash generation, ongoing cost-efficiency measures, and expectations for the upcoming fourth quarter.

* **Analyst Q&A Discussion:** Management addressed questions regarding average room rate and occupancy dynamics, leisure travel demand patterns, unit opening targets, and operating margins. Would you like a summary of a specific topic from the call, such as the strategic updates or the analyst Q&A session?

I am unable to provide a word-for-word transcript of the recording. However, I can provide a summary of the questions and answers discussed during the second half of the call.

### Summary of the Q&A Session

** Analysts inquired about the drivers behind quarterly room revenue trends, specifically whether recent stabilization was supported primarily by average daily rates or occupancy levels. Management explained that while business travel demand remained moderate, leisure and experiential travel (such as holidays, concerts, and sporting events) provided meaningful support.

They also noted that targeted pricing and revenue management efforts helped stabilize operational metrics. * **Store Openings and Expansion Pace:** Analysts asked about progress on hotel openings against full-year targets and the future distribution between core midscale brands and upper-tier offerings.

Executives confirmed that opening momentum remained healthy due to faster conversion of signed pipelines and supply chain improvements, reiterating their commitment to sustainable, quality-focused network growth. * **Cost Structure and Margin Expansion:** Questions were raised regarding operating margin improvements and cost control sustainability.

Management attributed margin gains to the increasing contribution of their asset-light franchise model, headquarters administrative cost discipline, and supply chain efficiencies that lowered unit operating expenses. Would you like a summary of another part of the call, or further analysis of a specific topic discussed by management?

I cannot provide a verbatim transcript of the audio recording. I can, however, provide a summary of the prepared remarks delivered by management prior to the question-and-answer period.

### Summary of Prepared Remarks

** The CEO outlined the long-term outlook for the domestic hospitality industry, noting that while overall hotel supply has rebounded, a significant opportunity remains in providing modern, high-quality accommodations. Management emphasized their strategy of deepening presence in lower-tier cities and capitalizing on shifting consumer preferences toward experiential and leisure-oriented travel.

* **Brand Development & Member Ecosystem:** Leadership highlighted progress in their core midscale and economy hotel networks, alongside strategic initiatives to build out higher-tier brand offerings. They also reported continued growth in their central reservation and loyalty program, noting higher direct-sales contribution and plans to expand member perks and cross-industry partnerships.

* **Financial Performance & Business Model Evolution:** The CFO reviewed quarterly performance, pointing to solid top-line results and expanded operating margins. These results were primarily credited to the increasing scale of the asset-light, franchised operations, favorable unit economics, and ongoing corporate cost optimization.

Management concluded the prepared remarks with full-year expansion expectations and revenue guidance for the subsequent quarter. Would you like a summary of the fourth-quarter outlook and guidance, or additional analysis on the company's financial metrics?
