First Quarter 2021 Results

 

Net Revenues

 

Total net revenues increased by 80.9% to RMB533.8 million (US$81.5 million) in the first quarter of 2021, from RMB 295.0 million in the same period of 2020.

 

Net revenue from adult education business increased by 19.9% to RMB255.5 million (US$39.0 million) in the first quarter of 2021, from RMB213.1 million in same period of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increase in class consumption rate and the alleviation of the negative impact from COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020.

 

Net revenue from K-12 education business increased by 239.8% to RMB278.3 million (US$42.5 million) in the first quarter of 2021, from RMB81.9 million in same period of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increase in student enrollment of K12 education from 89,900 in the first quarter of 2020 to 135,500 in the same period of 2021 and the alleviation of the negative impact from COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues increased by 6.2% to RMB283.8 million (US$43.3 million) in the first quarter of 2021, from RMB267.4 million in the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related costs and welfare expenses resulting from growing number of teaching staffs at our K-12 learning centers.

 

 

 

 

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

 

Gross profit increased by 804.5% to RMB249.9 million (US$38.1 million) in the first quarter of 2021, from RMB27.6 million in the same period of 2020. Gross margin, which is equal to gross profit divided by net revenues, was 46.8% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 9.4% in the same period of 2020. The increase in gross margin was primarily because the scale of revenue increase outweighed the increase in cost of revenue in the first quarter of 2021.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses decreased by 4.5% to RMB379.4 million (US$57.9 million) in the first quarter of 2021, from RMB397.5 million in the same period of 2020.

Total share-based compensation expenses allocated to the related operating expenses decreased by 25.9% to RMB6.7 million (US$1.0 million) in the first quarter of 2021, from RMB9.1 million in the same period of 2020.

 

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 10.0% to RMB213.8 million (US$32.6 million) in the first quarter of 2021, from RMB237.5 million in the same period of 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in spending on marketing and promotional activities in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the marketing and promotional expenses incurred in the same period of 2020.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by 1.8% to RMB143.2 million (US$21.9 million) in the first quarter of 2021, from RMB140.6 million in the same period of 2020. The increase was mainly due to that employees’ social security fees were exempted according to the preferential policies enacted by the government during COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 but were not exempted in the first quarter of 2021.

 

Research and development expenses increased by 16.5% to RMB22.5 million (US$3.4 million) in the first quarter of 2021, from RMB19.3 million in the same period of 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in personnel-related costs and welfare expenses.

Interest income in both periods consisted of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and time deposits in commercial banks and interest income recognized in relation to our installment payment plan for students.

Other Income

 

Other income was RMB0.3 million (US$0.1 million) in the first quarter of 2021, compared to other income of RMB0.2 million in the same period of 2020. The income was mostly from government grant offered to our learning centers.

Recent Developments Regarding the Non-binding “Going Private” Proposal

 

On December 8, 2020, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) received a preliminary non-binding proposal letter (the “Proposal Letter”) from Mr. Shaoyun Han, founder, chairman of the Board, to acquire all of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares of the Company that are not already owned by Mr. Han and his affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer Group”) for a purchase price of $4.00 per ADS, or US$4.00 per Class A ordinary share, in cash (the "Proposed Transaction"). On December 10, 2020, the Company announced that the Board had formed a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) consisting of Mr. Arthur Lap Tat Wong and Mr. Hon Sang Lee to evaluate and consider the Proposal. On December 30, 2020, the Company announced that the Special Committee had retained Duff & Phelps, LLC as its independent financial advisor and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP as its U.S. legal counsel in connection with its review and evaluation of the Proposal.

 

On April 30, 2021 the Company announced that it has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Kidedu Holdings Limited (“Parent”) and Kidarena Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), in a transaction implying an equity value of the Company of approximately US$230.6 million.

 

The Board cautions the Company's shareholders and others considering trading the Company's securities that the Merger is currently expected to close during the third quarter of 2021 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding Shares present and voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Company's shareholders. If completed, the Merger will result in the Company becoming a privately held company and its ADSs will no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

 

Business Outlook

 

Based on the Company's current estimates, total net revenues for the second quarter of 2021 are expected to be in the range of RMB570.0 million and RMB600.0 million, after taking into consideration the seasonal fluctuation factor and the likely continued impact of the COVID-19.

 

This guidance is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company's current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions, which are subject to change, particularly as to the potential impact of COVID-19 on the economy in China and elsewhere in the world.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, the Company revised its non-GAAP financial measures to exclude gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, in addition to its historical practice of excluding share-based compensation expenses for non-GAAP results.

 

To supplement Tarena’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Tarena's management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income, net income, and basic and diluted net income per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

 

Tarena’s management believes that excluding the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items identified as non-recurring and infrequent in nature, and non-cash charges. The amount of share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact are not built into the Company’s annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which generally will be the basis for information Tarena provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance.

 

 

 

 

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of Tarena’s current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income (loss) and net income (loss), excluding the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a recurring expense in the Company’s business for the foreseeable future, and gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact may recur in the future. In order to mitigate these limitations the Company has provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables include details on the reconciliation between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has presented.
