Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2011

Net Revenue

Total net revenue for the second quarter of 2011 was $17.0 million, a 10.6 percent increase from $15.4 million in the corresponding period in 2010. Net revenue from online degree programs for the second quarter of 2011 was $13.6 million, a 9.8 percent increase from $12.4 million for the corresponding period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the continued expansion of the learning center network, with organic growth in revenue students enrolled in our online degree programs contributing as well. Enrollment for 2011 spring semester online degree programs was approximately 159,000 revenue students, a 1.3% increase from approximately 157,000 revenue students in the Spring 2010 semester.

As of June 30, 2011, the ChinaEdu learning center network was providing online degree programs for 21 universities with 100 operational learning centers, of which 57 were proprietary centers(6) and 43 were contracted centers(7). This compares to 65 operational learning centers as of the end of the second quarter of 2010, of which 27 were proprietary and 38 were contracted centers.

Net revenue from non-degree programs, including online tutoring programs, private primary and secondary schools and international and elite curriculum programs, in the second quarter of 2011 was $3.4 million, a 13.5 percent increase from $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. The $0.4 increase was mainly attributable to increased student enrollment at our private school in Anqing.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue for the second quarter of 2011 was $6.8 million, an increase of 26.3 percent, up from $5.4 million in the corresponding period of 2010. Cost of revenue for online degree programs in the second quarter of 2011 was $4.6 million, an increase of 20.8 percent compared to $3.8 million in the corresponding period of 2010. Continued expansion of the Company's learning center network, as well as spending related to the development of teacher training programs hosted by collaborative alliance partners, drove the increase in cost of revenue for online degree programs.

Cost of revenue for non-degree programs in the second quarter of 2011 was $2.3 million, an increase of 38.9 percent from $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. The rise in cost was related to an increase in staff and rental costs associated with the expansion of international and elite programs as well as the development of interactive and personalized learning products for online tutoring programs. The increase was also related to increased costs associated with the Anqing School, including increased teaching staff costs, cafeteria related costs and an increased depreciation charge for the new campus.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2011 was $10.2 million, compared to $10.0 million in the corresponding period of 2010. Total gross margin decreased to 59.9 percent, compared to 64.9 percent for the corresponding period in 2010. Gross margin for online degree programs decreased to 66.5 percent for the second quarter of 2011, compared to 69.6 percent in the corresponding period of 2010. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the expansion of our learning centers network and was also due to increased costs associated with developing teacher training programs. In the future, we expect gross margin for online degree programs to continue to decrease somewhat as the percentage of total net revenue contributed by the Company's learning centers network increases. This is because the learning centers network's sales and service scope results in a higher cost of sales for that area of our business.

Gross margin for online tutoring programs decreased slightly to 71.4 percent, down from 75.8 percent in second quarter of 2010, largely due to increased staff costs associated with expanding interactive course offerings and adding additional off-line personalized tutoring services. Despite increased cost of revenue, gross margin for private schools improved to 29.3 percent, compared to 25.8 percent in the corresponding period in 2010. The improvement was due to increased enrollment at the Anqing School's new campus.

With a new program launched in our international division this fiscal year, gross margin for the international curriculum and elite programs was negative 48.0 percent for the second quarter of 2011, compared to 45.9 percent for the second quarter of 2010. This was primarily due to investments in staff and rental costs related to the expansion of international and elite programs.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, a 36.8 percent increase from $5.6 million for the corresponding period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenue, total operating expenses increased to 44.7 percent, compared with 36.1 percent in the corresponding period in 2010. The increase in total operating expenses resulted from the following:

  • General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $3.8 million, a 33.8 percent increase from $2.8 million for the corresponding period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 22.4 percent, from 18.5 percent in the same period in 2010. Increased staff costs and rising costs associated with leased facilities were the primary reasons for the increase. ChinaEdu's donation of approximately RMB1 million, or $0.2 million, in supplies to the Beijing Language and Culture University, in line with the Company's corporate social responsibility efforts, was also included in the quarterly general and administrative expense.
  • Selling and marketing expenses were $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 74.8 percent compared to $1.2 million for the corresponding period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenue, selling and marketing expenses increased to 12.8 percent, up from 8.1 percent in the same period in 2010. The increase in selling and marketing expenses were mainly related to growth in sales force headcount for online tutoring programs in Beijing and expenses related to national promotion and branding activities.
  • Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $1.6 million, an increase of 10.4 percent from $1.5 million in the corresponding period in 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in research and development headcount in connection with upgrading learning management systems and enhancing courseware development, particularly for the development of interactive products. As a percentage of net revenue, research and development expense was 9.5 percent in the second quarter 2011, a slight decrease from 9.6 percent in the same period of 2010.
  • Share-based compensation for the second quarter of 2011, which is allocated to the related cost and operating expense line items, increased to $0.3 million from $0.1 million in the corresponding period in 2010, due to a true-up adjustment of forfeiture rate that occurred in second quarter of 2010.

Income from Operations

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2011 was $2.6 million, a decrease of 41.6 percent compared to $4.4 million in the corresponding period of 2010. Operating margin decreased to 15.2 percent for the second quarter of 2011, compared to 28.7 percent in the corresponding period of 2010.

Adjusted operating margin, a non-GAAP measure defined as the ratio of adjusted operating income from operations (non-GAAP) over net revenue, for the second quarter of 2011 decreased to 17.7 percent, compared to 30.3 percent for the corresponding period of 2010.

And net revenue from non-online degree programs for the first half of 2011 was $6.4 million, compared to $5.9 million in 2010, a 9.3 percent increase. The growth in total net revenue was attributable to strong enrollment for the online degree programs both in the Fall semester of 2010 and Spring semester of 2011, particularly at learning centers. Growth in net revenue at the Anqing School and for 101 online tutoring programs also contributed to the net revenue increase, despite a decrease in revenue for international and elite curriculum programs.
