Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. Announces Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
BEIJING, Nov. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. ("Xinyuan" or the "Company") (NYSE: XIN), an NYSE-listed real estate developer and property manager operating primarily in China and in the U.S., today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Third Quarter 2020 Highlights
-- Total revenue in the third quarter of 2020 increased 130.5% to US$ 655.4
million from US$284.4 million in the second quarter of 2020.
-- Net income in the third quarter of 2020 increased 198.0% to US$ 29.5
million from net loss of US$30.1 million in the second quarter of 2020.
-- Diluted net income per ADS attributable to shareholders in the third
quarter of 2020 increased 193.3% to US$0.46 from diluted net loss of
US$0.49 in the second quarter of 2020.
Mr. Yong Zhang, Xinyuan's Chairman, stated, "I am glad to share our third quarter business results, in which we made remarkable progress from last quarter. We believe that consumer spending has broadly been restored across China, driving better business conditions. Our contract sales recovered with several major projects in Zhengzhou and Qingdao launched for presale as planned, reaching around 11.8 billion RMB or US$1.68 billion accumulatively by the end of third quarter. We also made encouraging progress on projects in Beijing and Xi'an, which should be able to launch in the fourth quarter. With a burgeoning pipeline in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities, we are confident that Xinyuan can withstand market fluctuations and capitalize on opportunities."
Mr. Zhang continued: "Balance sheet optimization has always been our top mission. In this quarter, we further reduced the proportion of short-term debt from 46% in December 2019 to 37% in September 2020, a $240 million reduction from $1.49 billion to $1.25 billion, and it's fully covered by our cash position. Liquidity improved due to ample cash collection and issuance of offshore bonds in third quarter, and recently further strengthened after the landing of RMB 900 million onshore corporate bonds. Stronger balance sheet brings additional resources needed to drive our growth strategy and to build a diverse and dynamic real estate ecosystem."

Update on United States Real Estate Projects
At the Oosten project in Brooklyn, New York City, as of September 30, 2020, a total of 179 units out of 216 units were sold. Total revenue from this project has reached US$261.0 million. Of the remaining 37 unsold units, 21 are rented with lease terms ranging from 12 months to 24 months.
At the Hudson Garden project, BLOOM ON FORTY FIFTH, in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan, New York City, as of September 30, 2020, the Company had completed superstructure construction, precast concrete facade, and windows installation. Of the total sellable 34,903 square feet of retail/commercial space, a total of 28,090 square feet have been leased to the U.S. department store retailer Target for a 20 year term and another 1,910 square feet have been leased to a dermatologist's office for a 15 year lease term. Target's grand opening was on October 25, 2020.
The substantial completion of construction is expected in December 2020 and under budget. The temporary certification of occupancy of entire building is expected by the end of December 2020. The onsite sales office and model apartments were fully furnished during the second quarter 2020. The residential unit sales strategy started with a first phase launch in China during Q4 2019 in which we exhibited in five Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, leveraging Xinyuan's own client database and established third-party channels. The second phase of sales was officially launched in New York City during Q3 2020.
At the RKO project in Flushing, New York, the Company continued to execute on the planning, governmental approvals, and pre-development activities. As of September 30, 2020, we have engaged GKV Architects to develop new architectural plans, and completed the schematic design for the condo and hotel mixed-use development. The demolition is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter 2021. The procurement of general contractor for the construction started during Q3 2020.
Update on the United Kingdom Real Estate Project
During the third quarter of 2020, work on site continued to progress, primarily focused on internal fit out, but completion will be delayed from the contract completion date of October 2020 due to the impact of Covid-19 on construction sites. Our current forecast is that construction will be completed in first quarter 2021, assuming no further restrictions on working conditions.
Of the 423 residential units in The Madison, all of the 104 Affordable Housing apartments have been pre-sold to a regulated affordable housing provider. Of the remaining 319 apartments, 151 apartments have been sold.
Business Outlook
We remain optimistic and positive for the remainder of 2020. But in light of future uncertainties relating to COVID-19 developments and economical fluctuations, as well as the government restrictions on the real estate industry, the Company expects 2020 contract sales of around RMB 18 billion.
