Amidst the significant challenges and disruptions particularly in our overseas schools, Bright Scholar still delivered solid revenue growth of 31.3% and a solid growth of 36.5% in adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year of 2020. We have also accelerated digital transformation as we continued to focus on executing our strategic priorities to build a global network of schools and a diverse business portfolio, enhance academic and operational performance, and expand the breadth and depth of our capabilities through investment in education technologies," said Jerry He, Executive Vice Chairman of Bright Scholar.

"China's encouraging signs of steady economic recovery from the pandemic and its continuous efforts to minimize the risk of resurgences of the virus provides strong impetus to strengthen our business recovery," commented by Wanmei Li, Chief Executive Officer of Domestic K-12. "Over 54,000 students have enrolled for the September 2020 school term in our domestic K-12 schools, as of the reporting date. The average number of students increased by 6.6% for the fourth fiscal quarter and 9.9% for the fiscal year compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. All of our K-12 campuses in China have re-opened with safeguards in all of our facilities to protect our students and staff, including increased frequency of cleaning and disinfecting facilities, social distancing practices and other measures to minimize any potential risks of resurgence. Despite the positive momentum, we stay vigilant of the continued impact and focus on optimizing utilization and profitability from our operations." Ms. Li continued, "I am pleased to report that Fettes Guangzhou School and kindergarten opened as scheduled in September."

"Despite the impact from COVID-19, revenue for fiscal year 2020 grew by 9.1% as compared to the prior fiscal year as we seized the opportunity in the summer by launching new products and services to strengthen our market position. The acquisition of Leti Camp will further expand our capability to include adoption of hands-on inquiry-based learning that offers enormous potential and synergy which will expedite the expansion of our outdoor camp business in the post COVID-19 period," commented by Zi Chen, Chief Executive Officer of Complementary Education Services. "There are enormous market opportunities in complementary education service space including after school tutoring for K-12, study tours and camp activities. We plan to further leverage the collaboration with Country Garden to explore more opportunities in broadening our outdoor camp business within China, as well as acquisitions to expand our service offerings."

Mr. He commented on the performance of overseas school business, "Overseas school operation was most negatively affected amid the continuing pandemic and lockdown in the UK. Our 'We Care' Campaign put the well-being of our students and employees first, has earned high marks from our parents and students. We also took this opportunity to reduce our cost structure, upgrade our IT and management systems, realign our sales and marketing strategies and improve our education outcome. We believe we will be in a more competitive position than our peers when students return to schools post COVID-19. Our global network is of strategic importance in enriching student lives and learning experience, enhancing academic performance through global recruitment and training, joint R&D, collaboration between our overseas and domestic schools as well as across different business units within Bright Scholar."

Mr. He continued on the performance of education technology business, "The COVID-19 crisis has been a major catalyst driving policymakers, service providers and more parents and families to explore online learning options. The increasing awareness and acceptance of online resources merging offline activities for optimal educational results, bodes well for us to drive academic excellence as we continued to expand investments in this space. Our new education technology business comprises online career counselling, online Academic Olympiad training and online international school - the '3i Global Academy'. The launch of the online international schools with online-merge-offline model in June represents a major milestone in utilizing technology to provide access to high quality education for students around the globe. '3i Global Academy' has enrolled more than 170 paying students as of November 7th."

"We recognize that the uncertainties our road ahead entails, but we are excited at the combination of growth drivers coming into alignment for fiscal 2021. These growth drivers include the steady economic recovery from the pandemic in China, the improved service mix of our portfolio and the new exciting opportunities in the complementary business and education technologies. We have a strong balance sheet to pursue organic and acquisitive growth opportunities, a terrific portfolio of assets that drives long-term growth. We are very confident that the strategic initiatives will enable us to emerge from the crisis as a stronger company that is well positioned for long-term growth and success. Furthermore, to underscore the confidence in the Company's prospects, the Board has approved a new share repurchase plan of up to US$50 million on November 11, 2020," Mr. He concluded.

CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION

The Company's business is primarily conducted in China and the significant majority of revenue generated are denominated in Renminbi ("RMB"). However, periodic reports made to shareholders will include current period amounts translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet date, for the convenience of readers. Translations of balances in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows from RMB into U.S. dollars as of and for the quarter and fiscal year 2020 ended August 31, 2020 are solely for the convenience of the readers and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00=RMB6.8474, representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on August 31, 2020. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on August 31, 2020 or at any other rate.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain non-GAAP measures, including primarily adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted gross profit/(loss), adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income/(loss), adjusted earnings/(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders basic and diluted as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. 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 U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted gross profit/(loss) as gross profit/(loss) excluding amortization of intangible assets and adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit/(loss) divided by revenue. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) excluding interest income/(expense), net; income tax expense/benefit; depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; impairment loss on operating lease right-of-use assets; impairment loss on goodwill, and adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We define adjusted net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expense; amortization of intangible assets; tax effect of amortization of intangible assets; impairment loss on operating lease right-of-use assets; impairment loss on goodwill, and adjusted net margin as adjusted net income/(loss) divided by revenue. We define adjusted SG&A as selling, general and administration expense excluding share-based compensation expense. We define adjusted operating income/(loss) as net operating income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expense; amortization of intangible assets; impairment loss on operating lease right-of-use assets; impairment loss on goodwill and adjusted operating margin as adjusted operating income/(loss) divided by revenue. Additionally, we define adjusted earnings/(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders, basic and diluted, as adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders (net income/(loss) to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expense; amortization of intangible assets; tax effect of amortization of intangible assets; impairment loss on operating lease right-of-use assets and impairment loss on goodwill) divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted ordinary shares or American depositary shares (each an "ADS"), each representing one Class A ordinary share of the Company, on an as-converted basis.

We incur amortization expense of intangible assets related to various acquisitions that have been made in recent years. These intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition. We believe that exclusion of these expenses allows greater comparability of operating results that are consistent over time for the Company's newly-acquired and long-held business as the related intangibles does not have significant connection to the growth of the business. Therefore, we provide exclusion of amortization of intangible assets to redefine adjusted operating income/(loss), adjusted net income/(loss), and adjusted earnings/(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders, basic and diluted.

We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Such non-GAAP measures include adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted gross profit/(loss), adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income/(loss), adjusted earnings/(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders basic and diluted. Non-GAAP financial measures enable our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense, and without considering the impact of non-operating items such as interest income/(expense), net; income tax expense/benefit; share-based compensation expense; amortization of intangible assets; tax effect of amortization of intangible assets; impairment loss on operating lease right-of-use assets and impairment loss on goodwill. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Interest income/(expense), net; income tax expense/benefit; depreciation and amortization; and share-based compensation expense, have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of these non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA or adjusted net income/(loss). Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
