We are back to a more positive environment,focusing on growing our pipeline and upgrading numerous hotels across our portfolio. We are confident that we are on the right track and will benefit from the ongoing stimulus measures implemented by the government.
Our restaurant business' net income remained positive for a second consecutive quarter as we continued to grow the number of franchised street stores and stores with stable consumer traffic. Such stores now account for 55.5% of our store count compared to 44.6% a year ago. Following the closing of unprofitable stores over the past year,the number restaurants in operation had stabilized at 182 at the end of quarter and we are now focused on growing that number," said Mr. Alex S.

Guidance
We now anticipate revenue for our hotel business for the full year 2024 to decrease approximately 8% compared to 2023. This is based on our operating performance so far this year,in particular lower than expected travel in the third quarter,and the strategic review of our LO hotels segment that led to the net closure of 9 hotels bytheendofthe thirdquarter and contributed nearly half of the decline.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and core net income,as we present them,are useful financial metrics to assess our operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions,income taxes and certain non-core and non-recurring items in our financial statements.
The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and core net income should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains we consider to be outside the ordinary course of our business.
The use of Adjusted EBITDA and core net income has certain limitations because it does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect our operations. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and core net income are significant components in understanding and assessing our operating and financial performance. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets,income tax and share-based compensation have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally,Adjusted EBITDA and core net income do not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization,interest expense/income,gains/losses from investments in equity securities,income tax expenses,share-based compensation,share of loss in equity investees,government subsidies and other relevant items both in our reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements,all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.
The terms Adjusted EBITDA and core net income are not defined under U.S. GAAP,and Adjusted EBITDA and core net income are not measures of net income,operating income,operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When assessing our operating and financial performance,you should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for our net income,operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition,our Adjusted EBITDA and core net income may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and core net income or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and core net income in the same manner as we do.
Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures,including Adjusted EBITDA and core net income,to the consolidated statement of operations information are included at the end of this press release.
