First Half 2008 Revenues Increased 117.9% to US$212.9 Million Year-Over-Year

BEIJING, China, September 2, 2008 – Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Xinyuan”) (NYSE:XIN), a fast-growing residential real estate developer with a focus on strategically selected Tier II cities in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

 

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2008 increased 17.2% to US$87.7 million from US$74.8 million for the same quarter in 2007.

 

 

Total revenues for the first half of 2008 increased 117.9% to US$212.9 million from US$97.7 million for the same period in 2007.

 

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2008 decreased 9.6% to US$13.2 million from US$14.6 million for the same quarter in 2007.

 

 

Net income for the first half of 2008 increased 115.2% to US$46.1 million from US$21.4 million for the same period in 2007.

 

 

Diluted earnings per share were US$0.08 for the second quarter of 2008, equivalent to US$0.16 per American Depositary Share (“ADS”), compared to US$0.12 diluted earnings per share or US$0.24 per ADS for the same quarter in 2007.

 

 

Diluted earnings per share were US$0.22 for the first half of 2008, equivalent to US$0.44 per ADS, compared to US$0.18 diluted earnings per share or US$0.36 per ADS for the same period in 2007.

 

 

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company launched one new project with total developable gross floor area (“GFA”) of 189,198 square meters in Zhengzhou, and completed construction of total GFA of approximately 53,600 square meters for one ongoing project in Suzhou.

 

 

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had land reserves representing approximately 2.3 million square meters of developable gross floor area, all of which is either under construction or in the planning stage. This represents future sales of 1.5 to 2 years of development activity, and is consistent with the Company’s business plan.

“The second quarter 2008 proved to be a challenging quarter most notably due to weaker market conditions brought about by the tightened credit supply and slowing buyer demand,” said Yong Zhang, Xinyuan’s chairman and chief executive officer. “As we expected, temporary policy changes to curb inflation and cool a rapidly growing real estate market have decreased sales volumes across the industry and slowed growth during the quarter. Although current market conditions are presenting challenges to nearly every company in the real estate industry, Xinyuan’s overall growth rates so far in 2008 are better than many of our peers.”

“Over the next several months, we will concentrate on improving our capacity to execute our projects and mobilize the demand that is still unmet in second-tier cities,” continued Mr. Zhang. “We remain confident in the prospects of the real estate sector in China. The significant improvement in CPI and its outlook should pave the way for further easing of monetary and fiscal policies later this year and next year. When the policies are relaxed and markets do begin to improve, our quick asset turnover business model will allow our strong and experienced professional team to rapidly take advantage of new opportunities.”

Mr. Frank Ng, Xinyuan’s chief financial officer also added, “While the uncertainty within the real estate market has contributed to slowed revenue and net income growth rates for Xinyuan, we continue to seek opportunities to improve our position within the industry. During the second quarter we launched one project, Zhengzhou Xinyuan Colorful Garden, which has a total developable gross floor area of over 189,198 square meters, and we completed construction of approximately 53,600 square meters of gross floor area in our Suzhou Lake Splendid project. We will continue to rely on our unique business model, strong balance sheet and prudent financial management strategy as we deal with the present challenges and future opportunities of China’s real estate market.”

Financial Results for the Second Quarter and First Half of 2008

Revenues

Total revenues were US$87.7 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to US$125.1 million and US$74.8 million for the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively, representing a decrease of 29.9% and an increase of 17.2% from the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively.

Total GFA recognized for revenue was approximately 101.0 thousand square meters for the second quarter of 2008, compared to 161.3 thousand square meters and 135.8 thousand square meters for the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively. The average selling price per square meter recognized for revenue was approximately Renminbi (“RMB”)6,300 for the second quarter of 2008, compared to RMB5,800 and RMB4,400 for the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively.

The quarter-over-quarter decrease in revenue was primarily due to decreased revenue of US$46.8 million from Suzhou Lake Splendid, Suzhou Colorful Garden, Anhui Wangjiang Garden, Jinan Elegant Scenery and Jinan International City Garden, among which the Suzhou Lake Splendid and Jinan Elegant Scenery were near to the completion of sales and construction by the end of the second quarter of 2008, compared to the first quarter of 2008, and was partially offset by increased revenue of US$14.2 million from Suzhou International City Garden and Zhengzhou Xinyuan Colorful Garden, which launched the pre-sales in the second quarter of 2008.

The year-over-year increase in revenue was primarily attributable to increased revenue of US$59.0 million from Suzhou Colorful Garden, Suzhou International City Garden, Anhui Wangjiang Garden and Jinan International City Garden, compared to the second quarter of 2007, and was partially offset by reduced revenue of US$47.5 million from Suzhou Lake Splendid, Zhengzhou Central Garden West and Zhengzhou Central Garden East.

For the first half of 2008, total revenues were US$212.9 million, an increase of 117.9% from US$97.7 million for the same period in 2007. Total GFA recognized for revenue was approximately 262.3 thousand square meters for the first half of 2008, compared to 172.3 thousand square meters for the first half of 2007. The average selling price per square meter recognized for revenue was approximately RMB6,000 for the first half of 2008, compared to RMB4,500 for the first half of 2007.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2008 was US$20.7 million, compared to US$36.6 million and US$27.0 million for the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively. For the first half of 2008, gross profit was US$57.3 million, an increase of 44.5% from US$39.6 million for the same period in 2007.

The gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2008 was 23.6%, compared to 29.2% and 36.1% for the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in gross margin percentage was mainly attributed to the second quarter 2008 sale of newly launched projects of Suzhou International City Garden and Zhengzhou Xinyuan Colorful Garden which generated lower gross margins due to higher land acquisition costs and construction costs. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin percentage was attributed to the second quarter 2007 sale of Zhengzhou Central Garden West and Zhengzhou Central Garden East which generated higher gross margins due to lower land acquisition costs and construction costs. Similarly, due to lower margins on newly launched projects of Suzhou International City Garden and Zhengzhou Xinyuan Colorful Garden for the first half of 2008, the gross margin percentage was 26.9%, compared to 40.6% for the same period in 2007.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were US$12.4 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to US$10.9 million and US$5.0 million for the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively. As a percentage of total revenue, the selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were 14.2%, compared to 8.7% and 6.7% for the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses was due to increased selling and marketing activities to promote new projects. The year-over-year increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses was due to increased selling and marketing activities to promote new projects, salaries and other expenses associated with the addition of new employees, stock-based compensation amortization, and professional fees associated with maintenance as a listed company on the NYSE and under the rules governing the SEC. Similarly, for the first half of 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses were US$23.3 million, compared to US$7.9 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of total revenue, the selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2008 were 10.9%, compared to 8.1% for the same period in 2007.

Operating Margin

The operating margin percentage for the second quarter of 2008 was 9.4%, compared to 20.5% and 29.3% for the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively. For the first half of 2008, the operating margin percentage was 16.0%, compared to 32.4%

Table of Contents

for the same period in 2007. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decrease in operating margin was due to reduced gross margins of property developments for the second quarter of 2008 and increased selling and marketing activities to promote new projects, salaries and other expenses associated with the addition of new employees, stock-based compensation amortization, and professional fees. Excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), operating margin for the quarter was 12.2%, compared to 23.1% and 29.3% in the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively.

Share of Income in an Equity Investee and Exchange Gains

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recognized income in the amount of US$3.7 million from its equity investment in a 45% owned project company, Zhengzhou Jiantou Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd., compared to income in the amount of US$3.6 million and US$3.6 million in the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively. The slight increase was attributable to increased net income of the project company in the second quarter of 2008. Similarly, for the first half of 2008, the Company recognized net income in the amount of US$7.3 million, compared to US$3.6 million for the same period in 2007.

In addition, the Company recognized unrealized foreign exchange gain of US$1.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, which resulted from the appreciation of Renminbi against U.S. dollar, as the Company translated certain U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debts into Renminbi for the second quarter of 2008 using the exchange rate at June 30, 2008. A US$2.2 million and US$0.7 million foreign exchange gain of the same nature was recognized in the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively. For the first half of 2008, the Company recognized unrealized foreign exchange gain of US$3.8 million, compared to US$0.7 million for the same period in 2007.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a gain of US$2.8 million arising from a decrease in fair value of the warrants issued with floating rate notes, compared to a gain of US$11.3 million arising from an decrease in fair value of the warrants in the first quarter of 2008 and an expense of US$4.8 million arising from an increase in fair value of the warrants in the second quarter of 2007. For the first half of 2008, the Company recognized a gain of US$14.1 million arising from a decrease in fair value of the warrants, compared to an expense of US$4.3 million for the same period in 2007.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2008 was US$4.3 million, compared to US$10.9 million and US$7.5 million for the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to decreased gross profit recognized and increased selling, general and administrative expenses charged in the second quarter of 2008, as compared to the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007. For the first half of 2008, the income tax expense was US$15.2 million, compared to US$10.9 million for the same period in 2007.

Net Income

Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was US$13.2 million, compared to US$33.0 million and US$14.6 million for the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively. For the first half of 2008, net income was US$46.1 million, compared to US$21.4 million for the same period in 2007. The Company reported basic and diluted earnings per share of US$0.09 and US$0.08, or earnings per ADS of US$0.18 and US$0.16 for the second quarter of 2008, respectively. For the first half of 2008, basic and diluted earnings per share were US$0.31 and US$0.22, respectively, or earnings per ADS of US$0.62 and US$0.44, respectively. Each ADS represents two common shares.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2008

Based on current operations and Xinyuan’s estimates of the market conditions for the remainder of 2008, the Company expects its total revenues for full year 2008 to be in the range of US$450 million to US$520 million, representing year-over-year growth in the range of approximately 45% to 68%. The revised total revenue estimate for full year 2008 reflects the Company’s updated expectation of possible delays in pre-sales resulting from potential market uncertainties.

The Company maintains its full year net income estimate of US$60 million to US$70 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 31% to 53%. The Company expects to achieve net income within its estimated guidance range through increased gross profits margins on new projects, lower selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expenses, and with the recognition of unrealized foreign exchange gains and change in fair value of warrants in the first half of 2008. In its estimation of net income figures for full year 2008, the Company does not assume any future effects from foreign currency translation and adjustments to the fair value of warrants.

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 United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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

Table of Contents

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.

* The Company assumes the warrants embedded in the floating rate notes to be exercised on January 1, 2008. This would have caused the Company not to recognize the US$11.3 million gain arising from the change in fair value of the warrants because there would be no change in the fair value of the warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2008 if they were exercised on January 1, 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, the potential dilutive effects of the warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earning per share because their effects were anti-dilutive.

Note (2) On November 13, 2007, the holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preference shares agreed to waive the contingent conversion option contained in the shares. The modification was deemed to be substantive and was treated for accounting purpose as an extinguishment of the Series A convertible preference shares. In connection with this, the Company recognized a dividend of approximately US$182.2 million to the Series A convertible preference shareholders, representing the difference between the fair value of the convertible preference shares immediately after the modification and the carrying value of the preference shares

immediately prior to the modification. This deemed dividend did not affect the Company’s net income or cash flows. However, it reduced the net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and retained earnings for the year ended December 31, 2007 by the same amount.
