CEO and CFO Comments
“The third quarter of 2018 was a landmark and transformational quarter for LAIX,” commented Dr. Yi Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LAIX Inc., “We not only celebrated our sixth year anniversary in the first week of September, but also accomplished an important milestone, our IPO, on September 27. Our IPO on the renowned New York Stock Exchange brought brand awareness to our consumers and partners. In successfully completing our IPO, we raised more than US$71 million at a price of US$12.50 per ADS. We plan to use the proceeds from this offering, which were received October 1, to continue to fund research and development of industry-leading AI-enabled learning products, to augment our brand awareness and for general corporate purposes.”
“We had seen strong performance in the last quarter. Our net revenues grew by approximately 265% and our gross billings increased by approximately 181% year-over-year. These strong returns are the direct result of our corporate growth and our user expansion. Our paying user base alone has seen approximately 158% year-over-year expansion, which further validates our freemium model that attracts and engages users. We believe that we are in the early stage of development, one that is centered at the intersection of artificial intelligence and educational services and focused on serving the unmet or under-served learning needs in the current education market. As explorer of the AI-powered Education 3.0 landscape, we will continue to focus on delivering innovative AI teacher products with superior personalized user experience and effectiveness, and investing in gaining market share of this nascent but fast-growing market. We are committed to the long-term vision that AI-powered virtual teachers and learning products and services will play a pivotal role in people’s life-long learning journey. We are fully dedicated to realizing our mission of empowering everyone to realize their full potential and become a global citizen.” Dr. Wang concluded.

“We continued our growth trajectory during the third quarter of 2018,” said Ms. Bin Yu, Chief Financial Officer of LAIX Inc., “Our quarterly net revenues were RMB180.5 million (US$26.3 million) and our gross profit was RMB132.4 million (US$19.3 million), both representing a more
than 260% increase from the third quarter of 2017. We have increased our investment in sales and marketing to drive future user growth. We deem this investment necessary and within our expectations as we are building our brand awareness and market leadership position. At the same time, we are striving to optimize the return on our marketing investments through the efficient management of our existing and new marketing channels. Due to the high revenue growth we achieved, sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of net revenues declined to 112.9% in the third quarter of 2018 from 169.8% in the third quarter of 2017.”
Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the third quarter of 2018 were RMB180.5 million (US$26.3 million), a 265.0% increase from RMB49.4 million for the same quarter last year. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had RMB343.5 million (US$50.0 million) of deferred revenues. The significant increase can be attributed to the growth of the Company’s business and the platform-wide expansion of the Company’s paying user base, as well as the increased adoption of the Company’s proprietary AI teacher among users in China as an effective learning approach.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the third quarter of 2018 was RMB48.1 million (US$7.0 million), a 244.6% increase from RMB13.9 million for the same quarter last year. This change was primarily due to increases in (i) salaries and benefits for certain full-time employees, (ii) IT service cost, and (iii) service fees paid to contract human teachers for our premium services, with all such costs resulting from the Company’s general business growth and user base expansion.
3
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2018 was RMB132.4 million (US$19.3 million), a 272.9% increase from RMB35.5 million for the same quarter last year as a result of increased economies of scale.
As a result, gross margin also rose year-over-year delivering 73.4% for the third quarter, compared with 71.8% for the same quarter last year.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were RMB266.4 million (US$38.8 million), a 164.0% increase from RMB100.9 million for the same quarter last year, with higher expenses primarily resulting from business growth activities, the development and introduction of new products and from costs associated with the expansion of our user base.
Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were RMB203.8 million (US$29.7 million), a 142.8% increase from RMB83.9 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to higher (i) branding and marketing expenses, (ii) salaries and benefits for sales and marketing personnel, including our online student advisors. Importantly, sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of net revenues have notably declined year-over-year, with sales and marketing expenses representing 112.9% of net revenues for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 169.8% for the same quarter last year.
Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were RMB40.5 million (US$5.9 million), a 240.7% increase from RMB11.9 million for the same quarter last year, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits for research and development personnel. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenues declined from the same quarter last year, representing 22.4% of net revenues for the third quarter of 2018, compared with 24.0% for the same quarter last year.
General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were RMB22.0 million (US$3.2 million), a 333.5% increase from RMB5.1 million for the same quarter last year, primarily attributable to increases in our human resources expenses and office expenses. General and administrative expenses were 12.2% of net revenues for the third quarter of 2018, compared with 10.3% for the same quarter last year.
4
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2018 was RMB134.0 million (US$19.5 million), compared with RMB65.4 million for the same quarter last year due to the aforementioned reasons including increased expenses associated with general business growth, user base expansion and general and administrative purposes.
Foreign exchange related (losses)/gains, net
Foreign exchange loss was RMB3.5 million (US$0.5 million) in the third quarter of 2018, compared with a foreign exchange gain of RMB1.7 million for the same quarter last year, primarily due to the depreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.
Net Loss
Net loss for the third quarter of 2018 was RMB142.4 million (US$20.7 million), compared with RMB64.6 million for the same quarter last year.
Adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2018 was RMB123.0 million (US$17.9 million), compared with RMB62.1 million for the same quarter last year.
Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share attributable to ordinary shareholders for the third quarter of 2018 was RMB7.66 (US$1.12), compared with RMB3.71 for the same quarter last year.

Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of RMB324.3 million (US$47.2 million), excluding the IPO proceeds which was received on October 1, compared with RMB416.5 million as of December 31, 2017.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.
We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in loss from operations and net loss. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss provide useful information about our results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
7
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to loss from operations, net loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our 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 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. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
