BEIJING , Sept. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Concord Medical Services Holdings Limited ("Concord Medical" or the "Company") ( NYSE: CCM), a healthcare provider specialized in cancer treatment, research, education and prevention by establishing proton centers and cancer hospitals and operating an extensive network of radiotherapy and diagnostic imaging centers in China , today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the six months ended June 30 , 2022[1].
Dr. Jianyu Yang , Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Concord Medical, commented, "In the first half of 2022, our business was affected by the resurgence of COVID-19 pandemic caused by the highly contagious Omicron variant. In particular, our three medical institutions located in Shanghai temporarily closed since April 2022 for approximately two or three months, respectively. Our network business was also restricted by the COVID-19 resurgence, which affected the progress of order completion in the first half of 2022.
"The good news is, however, the recent performance of our Shanghai Meizhong Jiahe Cancer Center ("Shanghai Outpatient Department") has gradually returned to the level before the COVID-19 pandemic. Shanghai Meizhong Jiahe Medical Image Diagnosis Limited ("Shanghai Imaging Center"), which is located in the Shanghai Xinhongqiao International Medical Park (the "Xinhongqiao Park"), will also usher in new business opportunities. We expect that the gradual opening of the other medical institutions with differentiated expertise in the Xinhongqiao Park will drive patients to our Shanghai Imaging Center for high-quality diagnostic imaging services and contribute to our revenue.
"Our Guangzhou Concord Cancer Center ("Guangzhou Hospital"), which commenced operation in June 2021 , is in the ramp-up period with improving operational performance evidenced by several operating indicators, such as the occupancy rate of patient beds, and the number of outpatient and inpatient visits. Notably, the proton center of Guangzhou Hospital is expected to start clinical trials in the second half of 2022, reaching a new milestone."
"Our network business is currently on track. We will accelerate the completion of existing orders and execute our market expansion as planned. Let's look forward to the good performance of Concord Medical for the full year of 2022."
Net revenues from the hospital business were RMB82.9 million (US$12.4 million ) in the first half of 2022, representing a 29.2% increase from net revenues of RMB64.2 million in the first half of 2021, mainly due to the launch and ramp-up of Guangzhou Hospital since June 2021 .
Net revenues from the network business were RMB61.4 million (US$9.1 million ), representing a 52.3% decrease from net revenues of RMB128.7 million in the first half of 2021, mainly because the delivery and acceptance process of our medical solutions was negatively affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in the second quarter of 2022.
Cost of revenues of the hospital business in the first half of 2022 was RMB179.7 million (US$26.8 million ), representing an 89.4% increase from cost of revenues of RMB94.9 million in the first half of 2021, mainly because the labor cost increased for Guangzhou Hospital, which has been in operation since June 2021 .
Cost of revenues of the network business was RMB53.3 million (US$8.0 million ), representing a 44.3% decrease from RMB95.7 million in the first half of 2021, generally in line with the decrease in the net revenues from medical solutions caused by the COVID-19.
Gross (Loss)/Profit and Gross Margin
Gross loss from the hospital business was RMB96.8 million (US$14.4 million ) in the first half of 2022, compared to RMB30.7 million in the same period last year. The gross loss margin of the hospital business for the first half of 2022 was 116.8%, compared to the gross loss margin of 47.8% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit margin of the hospital business was primarily attributable to (1) the substantial labor cost for Guangzhou Hospital, which was still at the ramp-up stage with comparatively low utilization rate, and (2) the decrease in revenue generated from our medical institutions in Shanghai because of the regional resurgence of COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of 2022.
Gross profit from the network business was RMB8.1 million (US$1.1 million ), representing a 75.6% decrease from RMB33.0 million in the first half of 2021. The gross profit margin of the network business for the first half of 2022 was 13.2%, compared to the gross profit margin of 25.6% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit margin of the network business was primarily attributable to the decrease in gross profit margin of medical solutions in the first half of 2022.
Selling expenses were RMB26.4 million (US$3.9 million ) in the first half of 2022, representing a 93.3% increase from RMB13.7 million in the first half of 2021. Selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues was 18.3% in the first half of 2022, compared to 7.1% in the first half of 2021. The increase in selling expenses was mainly due to the increases in marketing expenses and travel related expenses as a result of the opening of our Guangzhou Hospital since June 2021 .
General and administrative expenses were RMB130.5 million (US$19.5 million ) in the first half of 2022, of which employee benefit expenses were RMB75.7 million (US$11.3 million ). In the same period of last year, general and administrative expenses were RMB172.6 million . The decrease was mainly because (1) the employee benefit expenses of Guangzhou Hospital's medical staff were recognized in general and administrative expenses before the formal operation of the Guangzhou Hospital, which were subsequently recognized in cost of revenues after the formal operation since June 2021 , and (2) the network business reduced as a result of the negative impact of COVID-19. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was 90.4% in the first half of 2022, compared to 89.5% in the first half of 2021.
Comparing to RMB414.4 million in the first half of 2021, capital expenditures were RMB184.0 million (US$27.5 million ) in the first half of 2022, mainly due to (1) the decrease in construction fees and medical equipment payment for our hospital business, and (2) the reduced demands of procuring equipment for our network business as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.
As of June 30, 2022 , accounts receivable were RMB89.3 million (US$13.3 million ), representing a 30.2% decrease from accounts receivable of RMB127.9 million as of December 31, 2021 . The average period of sales outstanding for accounts receivable (also known as days sales outstanding) was 286 days in the first half of 2022.
Bank Loans and Other Borrowings
As of June 30, 2022 , the Company had bank loans and other borrowings totaling RMB2.9 billion (US$426.0 million ).

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Concord Medical uses certain non-GAAP measures. The Company presents certain of its financial information that is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expenses, such as non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share for Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expenses from its GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company's core operating results, as such expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and do not impact its current cash earnings. Concord Medical also believes these non-GAAP measures excluding share-based compensation expenses are important in helping investors to understand the Company's current financial performance and future prospects and to compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. In addition, Concord Medical also presents the non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA, which is defined in this announcement as net income/(loss) plus interest expenses, net, income tax expenses, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses and other adjustments. Other adjustments include foreign exchange gain, net and other income/(expense), net. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of items that the Company does not consider to be indicative of the performance of the network business and hospital business. The Company believes investors will similarly use adjusted EBITDA as one of the key metrics to evaluate its financial performance and to compare its current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with other companies in the healthcare services industry. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial information.
