Network Business
Net revenues from the network business were RMB37.7 million ($5.3 million), representing a 44.6% decrease from net revenues of RMB68.0 million in the first half of 2019, primarily attributable to the effect of the COVID-19 epidemic and the closure of certain centers in our network of centers. With four centers closed in the first half of 2020, the Company operated a network of 27 centers in 20 cities in China as of June 30, 2020.

Selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues from the network business was 51.5% in the first half of 2020, compared to 13.7% in the first half of 2019.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues from the network business were 150.9% in the first half of 2020, compared to 119.7% in the same period last year.

The decreases in patient treatment and diagnostic cases were mainly due to the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic.
Hospital Business
Net revenues from the hospital business were RMB45.3 million ($6.4 million) in the first half of 2020, representing a 43.8% increase from net revenues of RMB31.5 million in the first half of 2019, mainly because the operation of Shanghai Meizhong Jiahe Cancer Center Co., Ltd. has gradually matured and the Imaging Diagnostic Center opened in this April.
Cost of revenues of the hospital business in the first half of 2020 was RMB71.8 million ($10.2 million), representing a 16.6% increase from cost of revenues of RMB61.6 million in the first half of 2019, mainly because of the preparation and operation of the Imaging Diagnostic Center.

Selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues from the hospital business was 6.0% in the first half of 2020, compared to 4.8% in the first half of 2019.

Comparing to RMB410.5 million in the first half of 2019, capital expenditures of the hospital were RMB364.9 million ($51.6 million) in the first half of 2020.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 expense. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense 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 expense 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 plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expenses and other adjustments. Other adjustments include foreign exchange gain (loss), net, loss on disposal of long-lived equipment, income from disposal of associate companies and other income. 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.
