Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the second quarter of 2021 were RMB179.5 million (US$27.8 million), a 9.6% decrease from RMB198.5 million for the previous quarter and a 33.4% decrease from RMB269.4 million for the same quarter last year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in gross billings caused by the decrease of paying users.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2021 was RMB35.2 million (US$5.5 million), a 20.7% decrease from RMB44.4 million for the previous quarter and a 53.5% decrease from RMB75.6 million for the same quarter last year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the decrease in salaries and welfare for full-time employees, and reduced spending on IT service fee and content-related costs.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 was RMB144.3 million (US$22.3 million), a 6.4% decrease from RMB154.1 million for the previous quarter and a 25.5% decrease from RMB193.8 million for the same quarter last year.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 80.4%, compared with 77.6% for the previous quarter and 71.9% for the same quarter last year.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were RMB137.1 million (US$21.2 million), a 5.7% decrease from RMB145.4 million for the previous quarter and a 52.7% decrease from RMB289.7 million for the same quarter last year. The decreases were primarily due to the cost control strategy and improvement in operating efficiency.
Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were RMB88.9 million (US$13.8 million), a 4.3% decrease from RMB92.9 million for the previous quarter and a 55.7% decrease from RMB200.7 million for the same quarter last year. The decreases were primarily due to continued efforts to improve personnel management efficiency.
Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were RMB26.3 million (US$4.1 million), a 22.0% decrease from RMB33.7 million for the previous quarter and a 45.8% decrease from RMB48.5 million for the same quarter last year. The decreases were primarily due to the savings in salaries and staff benefits attributable to efficiency improvement in personnel management and the decrease in share-based compensation.
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were RMB22.0 million (US$3.4 million), a 17.2% increase from RMB18.7 million for the previous quarter and a 45.7% decrease from RMB40.5 million for the same quarter last year. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to impairment losses on gift goods and textbooks for kids in light of the potential impact by the recent regulation regarding after-school tutoring for K-12 students.
(Loss)/income from Operations
Income from operations for the second quarter of 2021 was RMB12.2 million (US$1.9 million), compared with an income from operations of RMB12.8 million for the previous quarter and a loss from operations of RMB95.9 million for the same quarter last year.
Foreign exchange related gains/(losses), net
Foreign exchange gain was RMB1.3 million (US$0.2 million) in the second quarter of 2021, compared with a foreign exchange loss of RMB0.9 million for the previous quarter and a foreign exchange gain of RMB0.1 million for the same quarter last year.

Adjusted EBITDA[2] for the second quarter of 2021 was RMB24.6 million (US$3.8 million), compared with an adjusted EBITDA of RMB25.3 million for the previous quarter and an adjusted EBITDA loss of RMB77.8 million for the same quarter last year.
Adjusted net income[3] for the second quarter of 2021 was RMB19.0 million (US$2.9 million), compared with an adjusted net income of RMB19.0 million for the previous quarter and an adjusted net loss of RMB85.3 million for the same quarter last year.
Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share attributable to ordinary shareholders for the second quarter of 2021 was RMB0.28 (US$0.04), compared with basic and diluted net income per ordinary share attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB0.24 for the previous quarter and basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB1.87 for the same quarter last year.

Balance Sheet & Cashflows
As of June 30, 2021, the Company's cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments amounted to RMB133.4 million (US$20.7 million), compared with RMB172.6 million as of March 31, 2021 and RMB229.6 million as of December 31, 2020.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company's deferred revenue and long-term deferred revenue amounted to RMB638.1 million (US$98.8 million), compared with RMB687.4 million as of March 31, 2021 and RMB746.2 million as of December 31, 2020.
Net cash used in operating activities were RMB35.1 million (US$5.4 million) and RMB66.4 million for the three months period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the Company's total shareholders' deficit was RMB676.3 million (US$104.7 million) and the current liabilities exceeded the current assets by RMB708.2 million (US$109.7 million).
The Company's liquidity to meet its future working capital is based on its ability to enhance user engagement and retention by offering higher quality and diversified courses after the consideration of the uncertainty impacted by the recent regulation changes on education industry, while optimizing traffic acquisition strategy to efficiently control and reduce user related costs. The Company will further preserve liquidity and manage cash flows by reducing various discretionary expenditure including labor costs and other operating expenses. The Company's liquidity is also based on its ability to obtain capital financing from equity or debt investors. Currently, the Company believes that it has sufficient cash to fund operations for at least the next 12 months with the implementation of the above mentioned measures.
Recent Developments
Preliminary non-binding going private proposal
On August 4, 2021, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") received a preliminary non-binding proposal letter from Dr. Yi Wang, co-founder, chairman of the Board and chief executive officer of the Company, Mr. Zheren Hu, co-founder, director and chief technology officer of the Company, Dr. Hui Lin, co-founder, director and chief scientist of the Company (collectively, the "Founders"), and PCIL IV Limited (together with its affiliated investment entities, "Primavera," and together with the Founders, the "Buyer Group"), to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares"), including the Class A ordinary shares represented by the American Depositary Shares of the Company (the "ADSs," each representing one Class A ordinary share) that are not already held by the Buyer Group for a proposed purchase price of US$1.13 per Ordinary Share or ADS in cash (the "Proposed Transaction"). On August 6, 2021, the Board formed a special committee (the "Special Committee") consisting of two independent directors, Dr. Li-Lan Cheng, who serves as the chairman of the Special Committee, and Ms. Min (Jenny) Zhang, to evaluate and consider the Proposed Transaction. On August 17, 2021, the Special Committee retained Houlihan Lokey (China) Limited as its financial advisor and Kirkland & Ellis as its U.S. legal counsel in connection with its review and evaluation of the Proposed Transactions.
The Board cautions the Company's shareholders and others considering trading the Company's securities that the Special Committee is continuing its evaluation of the Proposed Transaction and other strategic alternatives of the Company and that, at this time, no decisions have been made by the Special Committee with respect to the Company's response to the Proposed Transaction. There can be no assurance that any definitive offer will be received, that any definitive agreement will be executed relating to the Proposed Transaction, or that the Proposed Transaction or any other similar transaction will be approved or consummated. The Company does not undertake any obligation to provide any updates with respect to any transaction, except as required under applicable law.
New regulations regarding after-school tutoring and other relevant matters
On July 24, 2021, China's official state media, including Xinhua News Agency and China Central Television, announced the Opinions on Further Alleviating the Burden of Homework and After-School Tutoring for Students in Compulsory Education (the "Opinion"), issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council. The Opinion contains high-level policy directives about requirements and restrictions related to after-school tutoring services, including, among others, (i) no approval will be granted to new institutions providing after-school tutoring services on academic subjects to students at China's compulsory education stage ("Academic AST Institutions"), existing Academic AST Institutions need to be registered as non-profit institutions, and an approval mechanism will be adopted for online Academic AST Institutions; (ii) Academic AST Institutions are prohibited from raising funds through public market or capitalization; (iii) listed companies are prohibited from raising capital to invest in Academic AST Institutions; (iv) foreign stake in Academic AST Institutions is prohibited, including through contractual arrangement. Academic AST Institutions in violation of the above restrictions need to take rectification measures. The Opinion further provides that Academic AST Institutions are prohibited from providing online tutoring services to pre-school children, or providing tutoring services on academic subjects in compulsory education during public holidays, weekends and school breaks; and Academic AST Institutions must follow the pricing guidance to be established by relevant authorities. Administration on institutions providing after-school tutoring services on academic subjects in high schools (which do not fall within China's compulsory education system) shall take into consideration the Opinion for reference. Besides, on July 29, 2021, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Further Clarifying the Scope of Academic Subjects and Non-academic Subjects with respect to After-School Tutoring Services in the stage of Compulsory Education, which categorizes English tutoring services involving contents of courses contained in national curriculum standards as tutoring services on academic subjects.
The Company is an artificial intelligence company in China that creates and delivers products and services to popularize English learning for all-age groups. The majority of the Company's products and services, such as English Liulishuo and Liuli Reading, are designed to target adults, mostly college students and professionals, while only a limited portion of the Company's products and services target kids of three to twelve years old ("K-12 Students"). Furthermore, the products and services the Company delivers to K-12 Students primarily aim to enhancing their reading, hearing and speaking abilities instead of providing English tutoring services on content contained in national curriculum standards. However, as the Opinion is newly issued and only provides high-level policies on Academic AST Institutions, there are substantial uncertainties as to how the Opinion will be interpreted and implemented and to what extent the Opinion would be applicable to us. The Company is closely monitoring the latest regulatory development and carefully assessing its implications on the Company's business, especially the Opinion's impact on the Company's English learning services related to K-12 Students. The Company will continue to make all necessary efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations, including those to be adopted following the policy directives of the Opinion and proactively seek guidance from the government authorities in this respect.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.
The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company includes in (loss)/income from operations and net (loss)/income. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income provide useful information about its results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management of the Company in its financial and operational decision-making.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to (loss)/income from operations, net (loss)/income or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
