·Gross profit was RMB457.0 million (US$66.6 million), representing a 16.2% increase year-over-year.

 

·Net loss was RMB12.9 million (US$1.9 million), representing a 95.3% decrease year-over-year. Net loss margin, defined as net loss as a percentage of net revenues, decreased to 2.3% from 56.4% in the second quarter of 2018.

programs, our unique learning community where students, teachers and mentors interact with one another, and expanded offering of master’s-oriented products and professional certificate courses. Through these initiatives, we are building a solid and multi-faceted foundation to reach a high-quality customer base and attract more students to our online platform,” said Mr. Tongbo Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Sunlands. “While we believe these initiatives will benefit our gross billings and new student enrollment growth in the long run, we are also aware of the impact of China’s slowing macroeconomy and the challenges and uncertainties facing the industry where we operate, particularly those relating to student acquisition costs. To address these challenges, we have adopted a more prudent marketing strategy, with a view to investing marketing dollars more effectively while maintaining risks at acceptable levels. As a result of our disciplined spending, our net loss during the quarter narrowed significantly to RMB12.9 million, decreasing by 95.3% from RMB271.8 million for the same period in 2018.

 

“We continue to seek balanced growth as we execute our five-pronged expansion and retention plan for 2019, as announced in the last quarter. With our industry-leading technology, high-quality educational content and one-to-many business model, we are confident in our ability to continue to grow as the leader in China’s online post-secondary and professional education industry.” Mr. Liu concluded.

 

Mr. Steven Yipeng Li, Chief Financial Officer of Sunlands, said, "In the second quarter, our net revenues increased by 14.7% year-over-year, which is in line with our guidance. Our gross billings and new student enrollment declined by 43.1% and 44.0%, respectively, year-over-year, primarily due to the slowing macroeconomy and the short-term impact of our adjustment of marketing campaigns in view of uncertainties in student acquisition costs. We responded to the macroeconomic headwinds by reducing our sales and marketing expenses, and as a result our second quarter net loss narrowed significantly to RMB12.9 million from RMB112.9 million in first quarter of 2019 and RMB271.8 million in the second quarter of last year. We are confident that with our steady and focused execution of our five-pronged strategy to expansion and retention, we will improve average gross billings, conversion rates and sales efficiency over the long term.”

million) from RMB481.8 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was mainly driven by the growth in the number of students2 in the second quarter of 2019 compared with the second quarter of 2018, mainly driven by new student enrollments increase over the past years.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues increased by 8.1% to RMB95.7 million (US$13.9 million) in the second quarter of 2019 from RMB88.5 million in the second quarter of 2018, which was primarily due to an increase in insurance premiums related to online education services with insurance coverage since late in 2018.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 33.0% to RMB389.7 million (US$56.8 million) in the second quarter of 2019 from RMB581.7 million in the second quarter of 2018.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 7.9% to RMB84.9 million (US$12.4 million) in the second quarter of 2019 from RMB92.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in office expenses and professional service fees.

 

Product development expenses increased by 68.1% to RMB24.0 million (US$3.5 million) in the second quarter of 2019 from RMB14.3 million in the second quarter of 2018.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We use gross billings and EBITDA, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

 

We define gross billings for a specific period as the total amount of cash received for the sale of course packages, net of the total amount of refunds paid in such period. Our management uses gross billings as a performance measurement because we generally bill our students for the entire course tuition at the time of sale of our course packages and recognize revenue proportionally over a period. EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, and income tax expenses. We believe that gross billings and EBITDA provide valuable insight into the sales of our course packages and the performance of our business.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, their most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP measure has been provided in the tables included below. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As gross billings and EBITDA have material limitations as an analytical metric and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider gross billings and EBITDA as a substitute for, or superior to, their respective most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
