In this quarter, Tarena’s kid education business delivered outstanding results in student enrollment, centers layout, course development, and revenue contribution. The student enrollment of kid education business continued its rapid growth of over 360% year over year increase to reach 15,233 students.

“I am also very pleased to see the enrollment of adult education business during this quarter was 36,394, achieving a year over year growth of 6.3%. The State Council recently issued the Implementation Plan for the National Vocational Education Reform, reflecting government’s emphasize on the teaching quality in vocational training area and the determination to promote cooperation between schools and enterprises. In 2018, we successfully explored a Featured Program business model targeted at university students through partnerships with universities. Such a new enrollment model will become one of important drivers of our adult business growth in the future. By closing about 40 under-performing adult centers in 2018, we effectively controlled the operating costs. Looking forward into 2019, we expect our adult business to achieve significant improvement in profitability along with a steady student enrollment, and kid business to continue its momentum to grow robustly and make greater contribution to the company.” Mr. Han concluded.

 

Mr. Yuduo Yang, Tarena’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “During this quarter, we continued to emphasize on resources distribution, as the Company closed or merged a total of 12 adult learning centers and opened only one center in the city of Baoding. By the end of this quarter, company operated 184 adult learning centers in 70 cities. By optimizing seating layout, our seat utilization rate improved to 71.6%, as compared to the utilization rate of 69.6% in the same period last year. In 2018, our bottom line was negatively impacted by a larger number of students enrolled through university partnership where revenue is recognized over longer period and by the fact that most of the kid education learning centers are still in the ramp up period. With great market potential and company’s unique strength in IT training area, we believe that our kid education business and our university partnerships will provide a strong foundation for the Company to grow in the coming years. ”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, the Company revised its non-GAAP financial measures to exclude gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, in addition to its historical practice of excluding share-based compensation expenses for non-GAAP results.

 

To supplement Tarena’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Tarena's management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income, net income, and basic and diluted net income per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

 

Tarena’s management believes that excluding the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items identified as non-recurring and infrequent in nature, and non-cash charges. The amount of share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact are not built into the Company’s annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which generally will be the basis for information Tarena provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of Tarena’s current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income (loss) and net income (loss), excluding the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a recurring expense in the Company’s business for the foreseeable future, and gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact may recur in the future. In order to mitigate these limitations the Company has provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables include details on the reconciliation between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has presented.
