DALLAS, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Two extremely rare and valuable historical military Aircraft are being offered on a bid submission basis and are to be sold out of an Australian owned private collection in a global tender.

The immaculately restored and kept Messerschmitt 109 E1 W.NR 3579 and HISPANO HA -1112 – M4L BUCHON ‘RED 11’ are unique as they are rare and each are sold with fully documented, verifiable history and restoration records.

The BUCHON was the star aircraft used in the filming of the 1968 Film -Battle of Britain and was flown by German Luftwaffe Ace pilot Adolf Galland in the movie.

The Messerschmitt ME 109 is widely regarded as one of the most significant surviving fighter aircraft of the Second World War. It is believed that only two or three original German-built ME 109s remain today, and this aircraft is among that exceptionally rare group. The vast majority of these iconic fighters were destroyed during wartime operations or subsequently lost, making surviving examples of this caliber extraordinarily scarce.

This aircraft possesses extensive and historically important wartime combat provenance, representing a tangible link to one of the most consequential periods in aviation history. It is a unique and irreplaceable example of World War II heritage. 

The aircraft has undergone comprehensive restoration of the highest standard of authenticity and preservation. The airframe has been fully restored and maintained in flying configuration, and its original Daimler-Benz engine, has undergone specialist refurbishment in Germany and will shortly be reinstalled. The aircraft is expected to return to full flying status subject to the applicable inspections, certifications and regulatory requirements. The restoration and preservation work completed to date positions the aircraft as one of the very few surviving Messerschmitt ME 109s capable of returning to operational flight, distinguishing it from any museum held warbird and further enhancing its rarity, historical significance and collector appeal.

• The Company opened 43 hotels and had a pipeline of 1,268 hotels contracted for or under development as of March 31, 2026.

• The ADT (average daily tickets) was 73, decreased from 83 in the first quarter of 2025.

First Quarter Of 2026 Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB227.7 million (US$33.0 million)^[1]，a 14.0% year-over-year decrease.  

Hotel revenues were RMB188.7 million (US$27.4 million)^[1], an 11.4% year-over-year decrease due to a 5.7% year-over-year decrease in Revpar and a net closure of 13 L&O hotels since the first quarter of 2025 due to lease expiration and strategic reviews. The decrease was partially offset by revenues from new openings.

Restaurant revenues were RMB39.1 million (US$5.7 million)^[1], a 24.6% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to an 18.8% decrease in ADS and a net closure of 3 L&O stores since the first quarter of 2025 due to strategic reviews, offset by revenues from new F&M store openings.

Total revenues from leased-and-operated, or L&O, hotels and restaurants were RMB94.5 million (US$13.7 million)^[1], a 20.4% year-over-year decrease.

Total revenues from L&O hotels were RMB74.5 million (US$10.8 million)^[1], a 15.5% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was primarily attributable to an 8.2% year-over-year decrease in the first quarter RevPAR of L&O hotels, a net closure of 13 L&O hotels since the first quarter of 2025, and the reduction in sublease revenues resulting from the closure of L&O hotels.

Total revenues from L&O restaurants were RMB20.0 million (US$2.9 million)^[1], a 34.7% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to a net closure of 3 L&O stores and the year-over-year decrease of 18.1% in L&O store’s ADS.

Total revenues from franchised-and-managed, or F&M, hotels and restaurants were RMB115.3 million (US$16.7 million)^[1], an 8.2% year-over-year decrease.

Total revenues from F&M hotels were RMB113.4 million (US$16.4 million)^[1], an 8.5% year-over-year decrease, primary due to a 5.6% decrease in F&M hotels’ Revpar, an exemption of management fees for hotels facing business difficulties, and a decline of RMB1.5 million in membership revenues. Considering the ongoing impact from exemptions, we have assessed this impact since the first quarter of 2026 and adjusted the corresponding data of 2025 on a comparable basis. The decrease in membership revenues was partially due to the amortization cycle started from the pandemic period three years ago, in which the sales of membership cards were historically underperformed.

Total revenues from F&M restaurants were RMB1.9 million (US$0.3 million)^[1], a 10.2% year-over-year increase, mainly due to an increase of 6.6% in the number of F&M stores.

Total revenues from wholesale and others were RMB17.9 million (US$2.6 million)^[1], a 12.2% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to the decline in the wholesale segment of the restaurant business.

Total operating costs and expenses

Operating costs were RMB158.8 million (US$23.0 million)^[1], a 15.2% year-over-year decrease.

Operating costs of the hotel business were RMB125.0 million (US$18.1 million)^[1], a 12.4% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower depreciation and amortization, lower staff related costs, and lower rental costs caused by the net closure of 13 L&O hotels since the first quarter of 2025.

Operating costs of the restaurant business in the first quarter of 2026 were RMB33.8 million (US$ 4.9 million)^[1], a 24.1% year-over-year decrease, due to the closure of L&O stores.

Selling and marketing expenses were RMB11.4 million (US$1.7 million)^[1], a 33.0% year-over-year decrease.

Selling and marketing expenses of the hotel business were RMB9.2 million (US$1.3 million)^[1], a 36.6% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was mainly due to lower staff related expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses of the restaurant business were RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million)^[1], an 11.9% year-over-year decrease, mainly attributable to lower sales staff related expenses and lower sales-channel commissions.

General and administrative, or G&A expenses were RMB27.0 million (US$3.9 million)^[1], a 42.5% year-over-year decrease.

G&A expenses of the hotel business were RMB24.1 million (US$3.5 million)^[1], a 42.2% year-over-year decrease. The decrease was mainly due to lower staff G&A staff related expenses, lower credit losses for accounts receivable and lower consulting fees.

G&A expenses of the restaurant business were RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million)^[1], a 44.6% year-over-year decrease, mainly due to lower G&A staff related expenses and lower credit losses for accounts receivable.

Other operating expenses were RMB3.2 million (US$0.5 million)^[1], mainly due to the disposal of L&O hotel assets.

Other general expenses were RMB5.1 million (US$0.7 million)^[1], mainly due to provisions for loan receivables related to franchisee loans.

The gross profit of the restaurant business was RMB5.3 million (US$0.8 million)^[1], a 28.2% year-over-year decrease.

Income from operations in the first quarter of 2026 was RMB28.7 million (US$4.2 million)^[1], compared to income from operations of RMB11.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, with a margin of 12.6%. The increased profitability was mainly attributable to lower operating costs and expenses, despite the decline in revenue.

Guidance

Taking into account the strategic reviews leading to the closure of L&O hotels and the standardization process resulting in a slowdown in hotel openings, we expect the total revenues of our organic hotel business to -10% ~ -15% year over year.

The guidance set forth above reflects the Company’s current and preliminary views based on its recovery and may not be indicative of the final financial results for any future periods or the full year.

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.
