Recent Business Developments:
Mr. Alex Nanyan Zheng, 7 Days Group's Chief Executive Officer and Director, commented, "7 Days achieved record revenue that exceeded our guidance during the second quarter of 2010 and grew non-GAAP net income for a fourth consecutive quarter. Our strong financial results were supported by solid operational execution. We continued to expand our network of hotels into 62 cities in China from 55 last quarter, and added a total of 53 new hotels during the quarter. We also saw improvements in all our key operational metrics, with average occupancy, overnight occupancy and RevPAR up across our network of both leased-and-operated hotels and managed hotels.
"As our base of hotels grows, so does the scalability of our operations, as witnessed by our healthy margin improvement during the quarter. Our ability to increase efficiency and gain further operating leverage is to a large extent a function of our unique business model. Our 7 Days Club, the largest loyalty club in the Chinese hotel industry, which generated 97% of our room nights in the second quarter, coupled with our centralized reservations and powerful eCommerce system which provides real-time hotel booking status, supports the expansion of our business in a highly cost effective manner. As a result, we have been able to achieve strong and sustainable growth rates which we believe could accelerate over time.
"We are proud of our performance since our IPO, and believe that our track record of consistent financial growth, continued hotel expansion and unique business model position us well to deliver long-term value to our shareholders."
Mr. Eric Haibing Wu, 7 Days Group's Chief Financial Officer, added, "We delivered another quarter of profitable growth as we continue to leverage our increasing economies of scale, supported by diligent execution from all levels of our staff. We see our growth as sustainable, as we increase the size and scope of our network and as hotels in our portfolio continue to mature. In addition, the growth of our managed hotels portfolio, a key element of our strategy, contributed to the strong growth in our bottom line. We enter the second half on a healthy financial footing, with strong cash flow and a robust capital position, which puts us in good position to continue executing our strategy."

The improvement in operating costs as a percentage of total net revenues was primarily due to revenue growth and operational efficiency improvements.

About 7 Days Group Holdings Limited
7 Days Group is a leading and fast growing national economy hotel chain based in China. It converts and operates limited service economy hotels across major metropolitan areas in China under its award-winning "7 Days Inn" brand. The Company strives to offer consistent and high-quality accommodations and services primarily to the growing population of value conscious business and leisure travelers who demand affordable, clean, comfortable, convenient and safe lodging, and to respond to its guests' needs.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement 7 Days Group's unaudited financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has used the following non-GAAP measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to report its financial results:
-- Non-GAAP income from operations represents income from operations
reported in accordance with GAAP, excluding share-based compensation
expense.
-- Non-GAAP net income represents net income reported in accordance with
GAAP, excluding share-based compensation expense, loss on debt
extinguishment and change in fair value of ordinary share purchase
warrants, in each case, if any.
-- Non-GAAP earnings per ADS represents non-GAAP net income divided by the
number of ADS used in computing basic and diluted earnings per ADS.
-- EBITDA represents net income reported in accordance with GAAP, adjusted
for the effects of interest income and expense, provision for income
taxes, depreciation and amortization.
-- Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, excluding share-based compensation
expense, loss on debt extinguishment and change in fair value of
ordinary share purchase warrants, in each case, if any.
The Company believes EBITDA is a useful financial metric to assess its operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions, if any, and income taxes. In addition, 7 Days Group believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the lodging industry and may be used by investors as a measure of its financial performance. Given the significant investments that 7 Days Group has made in the past in property and equipment, depreciation and amortization expense comprises a meaningful portion of its cost structure. 7 Days Group believes that EBITDA will provide investors with a useful tool for comparability between periods because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense attributable to capital expenditures. The presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that the Company's future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains the Company considers to be outside the ordinary course of its business. 7 Days Group also calculates Adjusted EBITDA excluding share-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment and change in fair value of ordinary share purchase warrants, in each case, if any. The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with GAAP and, accordingly, expenses its employee share options and recognizes, if any, the impact of loss on debt extinguishment and changes in the fair value of its ordinary share purchase warrants. Since share-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment and change in fair value of ordinary share purchase warrants are non-cash expenses, the Company believes excluding them from its calculation of EBITDA allows it to provide investors with a more useful tool for assessing its operating and financial performance.
The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets, such as property and equipment, income tax expense, interest expense and interest income have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of its results. Additionally, EBITDA does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of the Company's liquidity. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of its depreciation and amortization, interest expense and interest income, income tax expense, capital expenditures, share-based compensation expense and other relevant items both in its reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures and in its consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under GAAP, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. When assessing the Company's operating and financial performance, investors should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for the Company's net income, operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as the Company does.
For reasons same to the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA described above, the Company has also reported net income, basic and diluted earnings per ADS and income (loss) from operations on a non-GAAP basis, excluding share-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment and change in fair value of ordinary share purchase warrants, in each case, if any, in the relevant period. These non-GAAP operating measures are useful for understanding the assessing the Company's underlying business performance and operating trends and the Company expects to report net income, basic and diluted earnings per ADS and income (loss) from operations on a non-GAAP basis using a consistent method on a quarterly basis going forward.
7 Days Group believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing 7 Days Group's financial performance and liquidity and when planning and forecasting future periods. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies, and should refer to the reconciliation of GAAP results with non-GAAP results for the periods set forth in the tables at the end of this release.
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This press release contains "forward-looking statements," including, among other things, 7 Days Group's beliefs as to the overall industry outlook and the factors driving expected growth, its revenue guidance for the third quarter of 2010 and full-year 2010, its expected number of new hotels in 2010 (including the related breakdown of expected new leased and operated hotels and new managed hotels) and expected continued growth and margin improvements and efficiency gains resulting from the Company's unique business model (including its 7 Days Club, centralized reservations and eCommerce platform) and increased size and scope of the Company's hotel network and maturity of its hotels. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only the Company's belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company's control. The Company's actual results and financial condition and other circumstances may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. In particular, the Company's operating results for any period are impacted significantly by the mix of leased-and-operated hotels and managed hotels in its chain, causing the Company's operating results to fluctuate and making them difficult to predict.
Other factors that could cause forward-looking statements to differ materially from actual future events or results include risks and uncertainties related to: risks associated with the Company's limited operating history and historical operating losses; uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to continue its growth and achieve profitability; uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to fund its working capital needs; uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to expand its operations while maintaining consistent and high-quality accommodations and services; uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to respond to competitive pressures; and uncertainties associated with factors typically affecting the lodging industry, including changes in economic conditions, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters or outbreaks of serious contagious diseases in markets where the Company has a presence.
