Michael Yu, New Oriental’s Executive Chairman, commented, “We are pleased to see a continued acceleration of our growth momentum that exceeded our expectation in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, characterized by a remarkable top line growth of 60.1%. Our overseas test preparation and overseas study consulting businesses maintained a strong upward trajectory, exhibiting approximately 52.6% and 25.7% growth year over year, respectively. In addition, the domestic test preparation business targeting adults and university students recorded a growth of approximately 53.2% year over year. Moreover, it is also encouraging that our new educational business initiatives have all achieved promising results in this fiscal quarter, with 72.7% revenue growth year over year. Among these new educational business initiatives, our non-academic tutoring courses were offered in around 60 cities, attracting approximately 355,000 student enrollments in this fiscal quarter. Simultaneously, our intelligent learning system and devices were adopted in around 60 cities, with approximately 188,000 active paid users in this fiscal quarter. In addition to our robust growth momentum, our unwavering commitment to enhancing teaching quality and fostering an enriching learning experience for our students is evidenced by our continuous improvement in customer retention rate. I am confident to say New Oriental is well-positioned in its capacity to capture current and future market opportunities, leveraging its well-established brand and abundant educational resources.”

Chenggang Zhou, New Oriental’s Chief Executive Officer, added, “During this fiscal quarter, we continued to expand our capacity in some existing cities with greater growth potential and higher facility utilization, thereby increasing profitability at a moderate pace. Our total number of schools and learning centers increased to 911 by the end of this fiscal quarter. To support the strong recovery of our remaining key businesses and the rapid development of new educational initiatives, we continued to allocate resources to our online-merge-offline teaching system and apply new technologies to enhance the quality of our educational and product offerings. Notably, we made substantial investments in East Buy (东方甄选), enhancing the development of its private label products and its presence in multiple channels to attract a larger customer base with its premium products and innovative livestreaming content. While East Buy continued to grow, it also implemented comprehensive measures, including strengthening its supply chain management system to better control food safety and product quality, expanding product categories and increasing SKUs, to reaffirm its commitment to delivering high-quality products with good value for money.”

Stephen Zhihui Yang, New Oriental’s Executive President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our GAAP operating margin for the quarter was 9.4% and Non-GAAP operating margin for the quarter was 11.7%. Following the promising development in the previous quarters, our educational businesses continued a significant year over year improvement in operating margin in this quarter, driven by strong revenue growth and enhanced utilization of facilities and teaching resources. We recorded a positive operating cash flow of US$109.4 million for this quarter, and by the end of this fiscal quarter, our cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and short-term investments totaled approximately US$4.8 billion. We are confident in achieving healthy growth across all business lines while enhancing operational efficiency and creating sustainable value for our customers and shareholders in the long term.”

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 and gain from fair value change of investments, operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses, operating cost 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 and gain from fair value change of investments. 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 and gain from fair value change of investments 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 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 and gain from fair value change of investments 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.
