Exhibit 99.1
Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. AnnouncesFirst Half 2024 Financial Results
Beijing, October 25, 2024 -- Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Xinyuan” or “the Company”) (NYSE: XIN), an NYSE-listed real estate developer operating primarily in China with projects in the United States, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Financial Results for the First Half of2024
Revenue
For the first half of 2024, the Company’s total revenue decreased by 59.9% to US$155.6 million, compared to US$388.2 million for the first half of 2023, and the Company’s average selling price per square meter for real estate properties sold in China decreased by 41.1% to RMB8,951 (US$1,260), compared to RMB15,413 (US$2,226) for the first half of 2023. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to a significant decline in signings, which were affected by the overall downturn in the real estate industry. The decrease in average selling price is primarily attributable to the change in the proportion of real estate sales in different types of real estate property products.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased by US$36.8 million to US$39.8 million, or 25.6% of total revenue for the first half of 2024 from US$76.6 million, or 19.7% of total revenue for the first half of 2023. The increase of gross profit rate was mainly due to optimization of project costs.
SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses increased by 4.3% to US$22.9 million for the first half of 2024 from US$21.9 million for the first half of 2023. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses were 14.7% and 5.6% for the first half of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The main reason for the significant increase in the percentage of SG&A is the substantial decline in total revenue.
Net Loss
Net loss increased by US$1.2 million to US$47.9 million for the first half of 2024 from US$46.7 million for the first half of 2023.
Balance Sheets
As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s cash and restricted cash decreased to US$169.3 million from US$230.8 million as of December 31, 2023.
Total debt outstanding was US$1,960.4 million as of June 30, 2024, an increase of 0.2% from US$1,957.2 million as of December 31, 2023.
The balance of the Company’s real estate properties completed and under development at the end of the second quarter of 2024 was US$3,309.6 million compared to US$3,308.0 million as of December 31, 2023.
