“We are delighted to see Tarena’s kid education business has once again achieved higher than expected student enrollment. The student enrollment of kid education business continued rapid growth, achieving a more than 309% year over year increase totaling 14,670 students. By the end of the third quarter our kid education business grew to cover 46 cities with 124 learning centers. We have seen more learning centers making profits through our focus to improve enrollment and operating efficiency. We also continue to invest in kids course development and, by taking advantage of our IT education experiences that we has accumulated in the past decades, we have built a programming course system which is suitable for kids aged between 4 and 18.” Said Mr. Shaoyun Han, Tarena’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

 

“I am also very pleased to see the student enrollment in adult education business maintained a growth rate over of 20%. Student recruitment through partnership with universities contributed a larger proportion of total enrollment growth for this quarter and will become another very important student acquisition channel that Tarena will focus on in the future. Given the growth from last year when the new business was launched, we foresee significant future potential of business partnership with universities, despite the fact that most of the students recruited from such partnership participate in multiple-year programs and part of the tuition revenue from such students has to be deferred to future years. Expansion of student acquisition through universities can help Tarena maintain growth in adult business when the overall IT market is adversely impacted by macroeconomic headwinds. We closed or merged 26 adult non-performing learning centers in the second and third quarters of 2018. After evaluating the impact of retail channel enrollment shortfalls due to market conditions and center closures, and the impact of revenue to be deferred to future years for the students acquired from university partnership, we revised full year 2018 net revenues guidance to RMB2,249 million to 2,274 million. In addition, we will keep focusing on resources utilization efficiency improvement to deliver better profitability from the traditional adult education business in the coming years.” Mr. Han added.

 

Mr. Yuduo Yang, Tarena’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “As part of our continued efforts to improve the operating efficiency of our adult education business, we closed 7 non-performing centers on a net basis. Our seat capacity increased to 62,698 as of September 30, 2018, representing a year over year increase of 8.0%. By optimizing seating layout, our seat utilization rate was 73.9% in the third quarter of 2018, slightly higher than the utilization rate of 73.7% during the same period last year. Our adult education business delivered a non-GAAP operating profit of RMB76 million during this quarter, though it was lower than the same period of last year. This decrease was mainly because a portion of revenue was being deferred to later periods and additional student acquisition costs incurred due to the increasing numbers of students enrolled through the university partnership channel. We believe in the profitability of the business partnership with universities in the long term and we are confident in the long-term growth in adult education business. For kid education business, with rapid expansion, in the first nine months of 2018, there were over 70 new centers opened and 21 centers added through acquisition. Many of these centers are not at the mature stage yet, which led to a non-GAAP operating loss of RMB104 million for the kid education business during this quarter. We believe that more and more kid education centers will ramp up gradually and start to make profit along with increases in-class students. With broad market potential and favorable government regulations, we have every confidence in this business segment, and will further expand our center network, recruit talents and improve course structures. We believe that the maturing of the kid business and the adult university partnership model will bring us solid foundation of growth in 2019 and beyond, and our focus on operational efficiency improvement will help us to achieve profitability growth in future years.”

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.
