Financial Results for the Second Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2018

 

Revenues
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2018 increased by RMB73.4 million, or 32.4%, to RMB300.2 million (US$45.4 million) from RMB226.8 million in the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of RMB59.5 million in revenues from educational programs.

 

• Revenues from educational programs for the second quarter of 2018 increased by 29.9% to RMB258.6 million (US$39.1 million), which was primarily due to an increase in the number of student enrollments at our self-owned learning centers and online courses. The increase in student enrollments was primarily attributable to (i) a higher student retention rate of 71% in this quarter comparing with 70%in the same period of the prior year, which we believe was partially driven by the Company’s established brand and continuous offerings of reputable products; and (ii) an increase in the number of self-owned learning centers from 56 as of June 30, 2017 to 68 as of June 30, 2018.
• Franchise revenues for the second quarter of 2018 increased by 20.9% to RMB33.2 million (US$5.0 million), primarily due to (i) an increase in recurring franchise fees during the same period and (ii) a 25.8% increase in the number of franchised learning centers from 190 as of June 30, 2017 to 239 as of June 30, 2018.
• Other revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB8.5 million (US$1.3 million) compared with RMB0.3 million in the same period of the prior year.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement RISE’s financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, which are adjusted from results based on U.S. GAAP.

Each of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to RISE, non-GAAP net income per ADS attributable to RISE, excludes share-based compensation expenses from net income.

 

Non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP operating expenses, including non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, provides us with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business by excluding the relevant share-based compensation expenses that does not reflect the ordinary operating expenses of our operations.

 

EBITDA represents net income before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes share-based compensation expenses from EBITDA.

 

We use non-GAAP operating expenses, including non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income attributable to RISE, and basic and diluted non-GAAP net income per ADS attributable to RISE to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because our management believes these provide a more comparable measure of our continuing business as it adjusts for transaction-related expenses that are not reflective of the normal earnings of our business. These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business, and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of the Company’s continuing operations and prospects for the future.

 

Non-GAAP financial information should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, calculations of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from calculations used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
