Zhou’s views and investment suggestions
Hotels: intercontinental and Marriott recovered rapidly at home, and OCC rebounded rapidly, which led to the same increase of RevPAR, and successfully turned the loss in 21 years. Overall, in 2021, the average room price (ADR), occupancy rate (OCC) and single store revenue (RevPAR) of the head company of overseas hotels increased at the same time, which promoted the performance to be closer to the level before the epidemic, and the head company turned its losses smoothly. The strong rebound of OCC plays a leading role in the recovery of single store revenue (RevPAR). According to the financial reports of InterContinental Hotel and Marriott International in 2021, the company’s main business income in 21 years was $2.91 billion / + 21.4% and $13.86 billion / + 31.1% respectively. The recovery momentum in the United States was strong or the leisure demand was released due to loose epidemic control; The profit side turned losses, and the net profit was US $270 / 1.1 billion respectively, recovering to 69.1% / 86.3% in 19 years respectively. The global expansion of stores is progressing steadily, and the focus of expansion of stores is mostly outside the mainland. We believe that with the release of demand in the future, with the further repair of OCC and ADR and the steady implementation of global store expansion, it is just around the corner for the hotel industry to recover to the pre epidemic level.
Catering: Starbucks first recovered at home, and the consumption of offline stores in China is still under repair.

Same store sales in North America increased by 18%. In the Chinese market, due to the strong epidemic prevention and control efforts and the participation of local brands in competition, the same store sales decreased by 14%. From the profit side, the net profit of 22q1 reached US $820 million / + 31.1%, an increase of 7.2% over 19q1. In the gradual improvement of profit, the company’s brand strength and toughness are prominent. Due to the rising cost of raw materials and labor, Starbucks raised the price of products in China on February 16, with an increase of 1-2 yuan.
