Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial Results BEIJING, China, June 5, 2020 - 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2020. First Quarter 2020 Highlights • Total revenue was US$125.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to US$468.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. • Net loss was US$39.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to net income of US$18.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. • Diluted net loss per ADS attributable to shareholders were US$0.73 in the first quarter of 2020 compared to diluted net income of US$0.33 in the first quarter of 2019. Xinyuan’s Chairman Yong Zhang commented, “First quarter results were heavily affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. Project construction and pre-sales were delayed by the nationwide lock-down, which disrupted our supply chain. Suppliers and engineering firms resumed operations toward the end of March, an early sign of economic recovery as China gradually re-opens for business. We are working closely with all suppliers and partners to restart construction, and anticipate returning to normal business pace early in the third quarter this year.” Mr. Zhang added, “Notably, our Hong Kong-listed property management company performed well. Property management is a recurring revenue business that is not particularly impacted by outside factors such as pandemic, the economy, or other forces. Recently, Xinyuan Property Management was again recognized for its strong execution and leadership position. In May 2020, we were designated as a ‘2020 leading listed company of property management service in business performance’. We are proud to achieve this honor.” Mr. Zhang concluded, “Despite the short-term challenges of this unprecedented pandemic, our fundamental business strengths are intact. We continue to streamline project construction, optimize cost control, and expand sales channels. We ended the quarter with a solid cash balance and ample liquidity. We fully redeemed the US$200 million senior notes on March 19. We will continue repurchase our ADRs depending on market conditions. With the majority of our projects in China, we remain optimistic about our business outlook for this year. Our high-quality residential projects and best-in-class property services continue to attract our customers. We believe these efforts will drive positive performance for the rest of 2020 and beyond.” First Quarter 2020 Financial Results Contract Sales 1 Contract sales in China totaled US$153.3 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to US$478.9 million in the first quarter of 2019 and US$653.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.
