New Oriental Announces Results for the Second Fiscal Quarter Ended November 30, 2014

Quarterly Net Revenues Increased by 13.4% Year-Over-Year
Quarterly Enrollments Increased by 10.0% Year-Over-Year

BEIJING, January 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- New Oriental Education and Technology Group Inc. (the "Company" or "New Oriental") (NYSE: EDU), the largest provider of private educational services in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2014, which is the second quarter of New Oriental's fiscal year 2015.

Financial Highlights for the Second Fiscal Quarter Ended November 30, 2014

  • Total net revenues increased 13.4% year-over-year to US$236.2 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2015. Total net revenues would have increased 15.4% if including US$4.1 million of temporarily deferred revenue resulting from the Company's new customer loyalty programs[1].
  • Loss from operations was US$13.0 million, compared to income from operations of US$0.7 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Loss from operations would have been approximately US$8.9 million if not for the accounting effects of the Company's new customer loyalty programs.
  • Net income attributable to New Oriental decreased by 44.0% year-over-year to US$2.4 million.

[1] Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company started implementing customer loyalty programs to encourage repeat business. Under the new programs, when customers purchase academic subjects tutoring and test preparation courses, they will be able to earn points equivalent to 2-5% of their total spending, which can be used to pay for future tuition fees over the next two years. The Company uses the deferred revenue method to recognize revenues for customer loyalty programs under U.S. GAAP. The portion of revenues associated with the issued points is deferred until the points are redeemed or expired. The revenues deferred are expected to be recognized when the points are redeemed and the associated classes are taken or when expired after two years.

Operating Highlights for the Second Fiscal Quarter Ended November 30, 2014

  • Total student enrollments in academic subjects tutoring and test preparation courses increased by 10.0% year-over-year to approximately 621,500 for the second fiscal quarter of 2015.
  • The total number of schools and learning centers was 713 as of November 30, 2014, an increase of two compared to 711 as of November 30, 2013, and an increase of two compared to 711 as of August 31, 2014. The total number of schools was 57 as of November 30, 2014.

Michael Yu, New Oriental's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to have achieved steady recovery in both the top-line and total student enrollments in the second quarter. Revenues increased 13.4% and the growth would have been as high as 15.4% if including temporarily deferred revenue resulting from our new customer loyalty programs. Our student enrollments had a strong pick-up of 10% year-over-year to over 621,500 even though the second quarter is traditionally slow for our business and this was driven by the strong performance of our U-Can middle and high school all-subjects after-school tutoring business which grew approximately 40%. Further, we began to roll out the new POP Kids program across the country in the second quarter as planned. Our revamp of this business has been proven quite successful as it resulted in stronger revenue performance and enrollment growth of more than 13%. We expect the strong momentum of our K-12 after-school tutoring business will continue which is important as we move towards peak season in the second half of fiscal year 2015."

Mr. Yu continued, "It is important to note that in the second quarter we were very focused on executing our 'Optimize the Market' strategy. In our drive to add capacity in appropriate markets, we added a net of two learning centers during the second quarter. Also, our online business experienced rapid growth as we progressed in building our online and offline integrated education ecosystem. For example, koolearn.com, our online education platform, recorded an increase of more than 56% in revenue to approximately US$11.1 million and a 52% increase in registered users to over 256,700. Also, we have partnered with Tencent and launched a mobile app named 'uDA,' leveraging our rich resources in terms of content and educational research as well as Tencent's technological expertise and online penetration. We believe 'uDA' will help middle school and college students improve their study experience and efficiency through its three-pronged approach -- Question Scanner, Smart Push Exercises and Interactive Tutoring. We are upgrading the app and target the roll out of new services in more subjects in 2015."

Louis T. Hsieh, New Oriental's President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "It is very encouraging that our highest-potential business lines maintained healthy growth in the second quarter. Overseas test preparation and overseas study consulting businesses together recorded a year-over-year gross revenue before sales tax growth of about 16.4% to approximately US$90.6 million, while our K-12 after-school tutoring business recorded year-over-year gross revenue before sales tax growth of about 16% to approximately US$97.2 million. We also made a great deal of progress in building out our online and offline integrated education ecosystem. To be sure, fiscal 2015 is an important investment year and while this will have an impact on our annual operating margin and net income, we do believe that the great effort we made in diversifying our business model will better position New Oriental to deliver more sustainable revenue and profitability growth well into the future."

Recent Developments

In December 2014, the Company acquired 100% equity interest in a kindergarten chain in the city of Qingdao with three schools and approximately 700 students. The Company views this acquisition as a strategic fit with its "one-stop" education ecosystem business model and believes that it will increase New Oriental's presence in the pre-school market in China and will eventually support the Company's POP Kids and U-Can middle and high school tutoring businesses. The transaction was completed in December 2014 and the kindergarten's financial results will be consolidated into New Oriental's results from the third fiscal quarter ended February 30, 2015.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement New Oriental's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, New Oriental uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses, operating costs and expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, operating margin excluding share-based compensation expenses, and basic and diluted net income per ADS and per share excluding share-based compensation expenses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release.

New Oriental believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. New Oriental believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to New Oriental's historical performance and liquidity. New Oriental computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. New Oriental believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP measures is that they exclude share-based compensation charge that has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
