Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented a broadly positive performance: solid revenue and profit growth, margin expansion, strong momentum in international accommodation and hotel management, meaningful AI/technology progress, and strategic M&A (Dida). These positives were tempered by near-term challenges — elevated fuel surcharges that pressured transportation and outbound travel, weather-driven demand softness in summer, a temporary rise in operating expenses due to restructuring, and some regulatory/compliance impacts. Management expects H2 demand to be uneven but remains focused on cost efficiency, AI adoption and cross-selling to drive longer-term growth.
Company Guidance
Management guided that near-term demand will be somewhat softer—Q3 core OTA growth is expected to moderate from Q2—with accommodation room nights likely to face YoY pressure while ADR should remain supported by a favorable hotel mix and blended take rates are expected to trend positively; transportation revenue will see near-term headwinds but air ticket volume is expected to recover in Q3 and outbound contribution to core OTA revenue is expected to rise to around 9% by year-end. As context, Q2 delivered total revenue of RMB 5.0 billion (+6.8% YoY), core OTA revenue RMB 4.3 billion (+8.4%), accommodation RMB 1.5 billion (+8.0%), transportation ticketing RMB 1.8 billion (-2.3%), other revenue RMB 1.0 billion (+35.7%) and tourism RMB 643 million (-2.9%); international room nights grew >50% and international air accounted for 8.6% of transportation revenue (up 2.3 ppt). Profitability targets remain intact with Q2 gross profit RMB 3.3 billion (+9.6%) and gross margin 66.7%, core OTA operating profit RMB 1.1 billion (26.4% margin), adjusted EBITDA RMB 1.3 billion (+7.3%) and adjusted net profit RMB 851 million (+9.8%, margin 17.1% up from 16.6% YOY; ex a one-off RMB 58 million restructuring charge S&D & G&A would have been 16.4% of revenue and adjusted net margin ~18.2%). Management reiterated focus on disciplined marketing, cost optimization (benefit from the nonrecurring restructuring charge in H2), AI-driven efficiency, a cash / short-term investment balance of RMB 1.5 billion (as of June 30), and strategic moves including completing the Dida acquisition (Aug 21) and scaling hotel operations (>3,500 hotels in operation, >2,000 in pipeline; Wanda >300 hotels, Elong/Wanda ranked #7/#22 by room count), while noting key user metrics of DAUs >5 million, 12‑month travelers >2 billion, 254 million annual paying users, ARPU RMB 80 (+~10% YoY) and purchase frequency >8x.
Total Revenue Growth
Total revenue reached RMB 5.0 billion in Q2 2026, up 6.8% year-over-year, reflecting steady topline expansion despite macro headwinds.
Adjusted Net Profit and Profitability Expansion
Adjusted net profit was RMB 851 million, up 9.8% year-over-year, with adjusted net margin improving to 17.1% from 16.6% a year ago; adjusted basic EPS rose to RMB 0.36 (+5.9% YoY).
Core OTA and Accommodation Strength
Core OTA revenue increased 8.4% YoY to RMB 4.3 billion; accommodation reservation revenue was RMB 1.5 billion (+8.0% YoY). ADR outperformance continued, supported by a ~3 percentage-point increase in share of 3-star and above room nights.
Strong International Accommodation and Air Growth
International room nights sold grew by more than 50% YoY in Q2. International accommodation revenue rose to 4.0% of total accommodation revenue (from 2.8% last year). International air ticketing accounted for 8.6% of transportation revenue, up 2.3 percentage points YoY.
Other Business and Hotel Management Surge
Other business revenue reached RMB 1.0 billion in Q2, up 35.7% YoY, mainly driven by the fast-growing hotel management segment. Hotel operations exceeded 3,500 properties with over 2,000 in the pipeline; Wanda Hotels reached 300 open hotels.
Improved Gross Profit and EBITDA
Gross profit increased 9.6% YoY to RMB 3.3 billion with gross margin at 66.7%. Adjusted EBITDA rose 7.3% YoY to RMB 1.3 billion. Core OTA operating profit was RMB 1.1 billion with a 26.4% margin.
Product, Tech and AI Progress
Deepening AI integration (DeepTrip enhancements, AI in customer service and Weixin AI assistant pilot) and strengthened partnerships (Weixin ecosystem) to improve personalization, automation and efficiency; DAUs on standalone app hit an all-time high of >5 million.
Strategic M&A and Mobility Expansion
Completed general cash offer for Dida Inc. (Aug 21), becoming controlling shareholder to accelerate entry into carpooling and short-/medium-haul mobility, bolstering cross-selling and supply integration.
