Exhibit 99.1

XINYUAN REAL ESTATE CO., LTD. ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2008

BEIJING, China, March 27, 2009 – Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Xinyuan” or “the Company”) (NYSE: XIN), a residential real estate developer with a focus on high growth, strategic Tier II cities in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2008.

Highlights For The Fourth Quarter 2008 versus The Third Quarter 2008

 

   

Total revenues decreased $22.2 million to US$60.8 million from US$83.0 million.

 

   

The Company recorded a gross loss of US$75.8 million versus a gross profit of US$18.4 million, or 21.8% of revenue. In the fourth quarter, the Company recognized estimated future losses of $21.6 million on its Suzhou International City Garden project and additionally recorded an impairment charge on the same project of $72.6 million.

 

   

The Company recorded a net loss of US$77.5 million versus a net profit of US$7.8 million.

 

   

The diluted loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders was US$0.51, equivalent to a US$1.02 loss per American Depositary Share (“ADS”) compared to US$0.05 diluted earnings per share, or US$0.10 per ADS, in the prior year period.

 

   

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company completed Anhui Wang Jiang Garden and Shandong Elegant Scenery projects.

 

   

No new projects were started during the quarter and no land was acquired.

Highlights For The Full Year 2008 Ended December 31, 2008

 

   

2008 total revenues increased over 2007 by 15.1% to US$356.6 million in 2008.

 

   

Gross loss totaled US$0.2 million versus a gross profit of US$101.6 million. 2008 included recognition of future losses and an impairment charge on the Suzhou International City Garden project of $21.6 million and $72.6 million, respectively

 

   

The Company recorded a net loss of US$23.6 million in 2008 versus net income of US$45.7 million in 2007.

 

   

The diluted loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders in 2008 totaled US$0.16 equivalent to a US$0.32 loss per ADS compared to a US$1.28 diluted loss in 2007, or US$2.56 per ADS. 2007 results included the impact of a US$182.2 million deemed dividend.

 

   

The Company maintained a cash balance of US$193.6 million.

“The environment in the real estate sector remains difficult,” said Mr. Yong Zhang, Xinyuan’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Demand remains weak and buyers appear to be waiting for more attractive pricing. During these unprecedented economic times, the Company is focused on controlling costs and preserving capital. While we are hopeful the actions implemented by the government can positively influence demand in the second half of the year, we are maintaining a conservative approach toward investing in new projects. We have also modified our production schedule to maximize cash flow until markets and demand stabilize.

“We remain positive on the long term prospects of the real estate sector in China. With a cash balance of over $193 million at the end of 2008 and expected cash flows from existing projects sufficient to settle all outstanding debt maturities through 2010, we remain confident that Xinyuan can weather the storm and emerge a stronger Company when the cycle turns,” concluded Mr. Zhang.

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter

For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s total revenues were US$60.8 million compared to US$83.0 million in the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 and $91.4 million in the fourth quarter 2007. Under the Percentage of Completion method of accounting under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (see discussion of “Percentage of Completion Accounting” later in this release), changes in project estimates negatively impacted reported revenue by US$1.7 million.

The Company sold 60,300 square meters in the fourth quarter 2008, versus 84,500 square meters in the third quarter 2008. The average selling price per square meter sold was Rmb5,990 in the fourth quarter 2008 versus Rmb6,262 in third quarter 2008, representing a decline of 4.3%. At December 31, 2008, the Company held undeveloped land reserves in Zhengzhou and Chengdu of 278,000 and 219,000 GFA square meters, respectively.

Gross Profit

Gross loss for the fourth quarter 2008 was US$75.8 million compared to a gross profit of US$18.4 million, or 21.8% of revenue, in the third quarter 2008 and US$30.3 million, or 33.1% of revenue, in the fourth quarter 2007. In the fourth quarter the Company recognized estimated future losses of $21.6 million on its Suzhou International City Garden project and additionally recorded an impairment charge on the same project of $72.6 million. Percentage of Completion (POC) adjustments on changes of estimates for all other projects impacted gross profit by $10.0 million in the fourth quarter. The recognition of future losses and impairment charge on the Suzhou project and POC adjustments on other projects were all non-cash items.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

SG&A expenses were US$9.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to US$13.5 million and US$13.9 million for the third quarter 2008 and the fourth quarter 2007, respectively. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter 2008 were 15.2%, versus 16.3% and 15.2% in the third quarter 2008 and fourth quarter 2007, respectively.

The sequential improvement is attributed to lower compensation expense on lower headcount (US$0.9 million), lower advertising and promotion spending (US$2.8 million), and lower stock based compensation (US$0.5 million).

Share of Income of Equity Investee

In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a loss of US$0.6 million from its 45% stake in Zhengzhou Jiantou Xinyuan Real Estate Co. Ltd (“Jiantou”) compared to booking income of US$3.2 million in the third quarter 2008 and income of US$2.9 million in the fourth quarter 2007. Jiantou encountered soft demand in the fourth quarter. The Company recorded an exchange loss in the fourth quarter 2008 of US$0.8 million compared to exchange gains of US$0.7 million in the third quarter 2008 and US$1.6 million in the fourth quarter 2007.

Net Income

Net loss for the fourth quarter 2008 was US$77.5 million compared to net income in the third quarter 2008 and the fourth quarter 2007 of US$7.8 million and US$8.2 million, respectively.

Diluted loss per share for the fourth quarter 2008 was US$0.51, compared to diluted earnings per share in the third quarter 2008 of US$0.05 and a diluted loss per share in the fourth quarter 2007 of US$1.51.

Full Year 2008 Results

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, total revenues were US$356.6 million compared to US$309.7 million in 2007. The revenue contribution of new Kunshan International City Garden, Suzhou International City Garden, and Chengdu Splendid projects was partially offset by the completion of the Anhui Wang Jiang Garden, Henan Financial Square, Suzhou Lake Splendid, and Shandong Elegant Scenery projects.

Table of Contents

Total gross loss was US$0.2 million for the full year 2008 versus gross profit of US$101.6 million for the full year 2007. Write-downs of the Suzhou International City Garden project described earlier plus the impact of revised estimates on the other projects resulted in decreased gross profit. In addition, the increase of Suzhou, Chengdu, and Kunshan project revenues as a percentage of total revenues had a negative mix effect on margins as these less mature projects with relatively high land acquisition costs carry lower margins than projects in the Company’s more traditional markets in the Anhui, Henan, and Shandong provinces.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, total SG&A expenses were US$46.1 million, or 12.9% of revenue, compared to US$27.6 million, or 8.9% of revenue, in 2007. The year-over-year increase is attributable primarily to increased advertising and promotion expenses on new projects, and the full year impact of stock-based compensation and professional fees associated with being a listed company including Sarbanes Oxley consulting fees.

The Company’s net loss was US$23.6 million for the full year 2008, versus net income of US$45.7 million for the full year 2007. The diluted loss per share in 2008 was $0.16 compared to a diluted loss per share of $1.28 in 2007.

Balance Sheet

At December 31, 2008, Xinyuan reported US$193.6 million in cash, US$367.7 million total debt outstanding, and a gearing ratio of 43.5%. Xinyuan’s book value at year end stood at US$400.3 million, or US$2.65 per share, and US$5.30 per ADS.

2009 Outlook

Q1 2009 GFA sales are expected to range from 38,000 to 42,000 square meters, a decrease of roughly 35% from the previous quarter due to some market weakness and the seasonal impact of the Chinese New Year. First quarter revenue is expected to total US$40.0 to $45.0 million while we expect a net loss in the range of US$2.0 to $4.0 million.

Full year 2009 GFA sales are anticipated to be in the range of 250,000 to 290,000 square meters. 2009 revenues are expected to be US$225 to US$250 million while full year 2009 net results are projected to be approximately breakeven. No new projects are included in these projections although the Company is ready to evaluate new projects if market conditions warrant.

Mr. Zhang commented, “With respect to our initiatives in 2009, we are focused on pacing the construction efforts of our large projects in Suzhou, Kunshan, and Chengdu (Tier 1.5 cities) to match local demand and to preserve cash. We intend to refocus our investments in smaller projects in Tier 2 cities in the Henan, Anhui, and Shandong provinces, which are regions that better suit our operating structure and where we have traditionally had our greatest success. Reducing overhead and operating expenses are also a key priority for our business in 2009.”

“Additionally, the strengthening of our senior management team is a major priority in 2009. We have streamlined certain positions to ensure greater efficiency and cost savings. At the same time, we are adding select senior team members in certain key areas such as finance and operations, who can help position Xinyuan for better performance and success.”

Percentage of Completion Accounting

Most of Xinyuan’s projects recognize revenue under the percentage of completion method. This requires the Company to re-evaluate our estimates of future revenues and costs on a quarterly basis project by project. Cumulative revenue is determined by multiplying cumulative contract sales proceeds times cumulative incurred cost divided by total estimated project cost. Cumulative cost of sales is calculated by multiplying cumulative incurred cost times cumulative contract sales divided by total estimated project revenue. Whenever Xinyuan makes changes to expected total project life profit margins, a “catch-up” adjustment must be made in the quarter of change to account for the difference between profit previously recognized using the previous profit margin estimate and the comparable profit using the new profit margin estimates. Further, if the updated profit margin indicates that the Company will have to sell units at a price less than our costs to develop them, it must recognize the full expected gross loss over the life of the project at that time regardless of whether the units have been sold. Additionally for such unprofitable projects the Company must also determine whether an impairment exists, and, if so, write down the cost to the fair value of the project which, in turn, may be less than the basis after recognizing the effect of future losses. In the fourth quarter of 2008, Suzhou ICG was the only such unprofitable project subject to recognition of total project gross loss and impairment reviews.

Non-GAAP Measures

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures, as such term is defined by the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are identified in this release, are used by management as measures of the Company’s performance, and should be considered in addition to, not in isolation or as a substitute for, measures of the Company’s financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently than similar terms used by other companies.

Accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how the Company defines its non-GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measures are set forth in the section below titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results.” These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, and non-GAAP net income.

The Company’s management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to gain an understanding of the Company’s comparative operating performance (when comparing such results with previous periods or forecasts) and future prospects. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items, including stock-based compensation charges, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of convertible debt issuance cost and charges arising from changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, from its internal financial statements for purposes of its internal budgets. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by the Company’s management in their financial and operating decision-making, because management believes they reflect the Company’s ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. The Company computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent methods from quarter to quarter. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to investors and others in the following ways: 1) in understanding and evaluating the Company’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose, and 2) in comparing in a consistent manner the Company’s current financial results with the Company’s past financial results. The Company’s management further believes the non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses (i) that are not expected to result in future cash settlement or (ii) that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook.

The Company’s management believes excluding stock-based compensation from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for itself and investors as such expense will not result in future cash payment and is otherwise unrelated to the Company’s core operating results. The Company’s management believes excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation charges, unrealized foreign exchange gain, amortization expense of intangible assets and charges resulting from changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities from its non-GAAP financial measure of net income are useful for itself and investors because they enable a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s cash performance between reporting periods. In addition, such charges will not result in cash settlement in the future.
