The mixed results show top-line growth driven by network expansion but weakening same-store metrics and declining GAAP profitability. The $499.6M note conversion into 13M ADSs adds dilution. Monitor the Q2 2026 earnings for same-store RevPAR trends and margin trajectory, especially given the sequential decline in operating cash flow.

Executive Summary
H World Group reported Q1 2026 revenue of RMB6.0 billion (+11.1% YoY), driven by 12.4% growth in China (HWC) and 5.1% growth internationally (HWI). However, GAAP net income attributable to the company fell 8.6% YoY to RMB817 million, and same-hotel RevPAR in China declined 2.3% YoY, reflecting occupancy pressure. The company also disclosed the resignation of executive director Jie Zheng and the conversion of $499.6 million in convertible notes into 13 million ADSs upon maturity.
