Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2019

Revenues
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2019 increased by RMB66.9 million, or 22.3%, to RMB367.1 million (US$53.5 million) from RMB300.2 million in the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of RMB60.4 million in revenues from educational programs.

  • Revenues from educational programs for the second quarter of 2019 increased by 22.8% to RMB324.9 million (US$47.3 million). The increase in revenues from educational programs was primarily due to (i) a significant increase in the number of students in class for the Company’s regular courses operated by self-owned learning centers and (ii) price increases for the Company’s regular courses. The number of our self-owned learning centers also increased to 80 as of June 30, 2019 from 68 as of June 30, 2018. The Company added 173 classrooms as of June 30, 2019 when compared with June 30, 2018.
  • Franchise revenues for the second quarter of 2019 increased by 19.9% to RMB39.8 million (US$5.8 million), primarily due to an increase in one-time franchise fees and recurring franchise fees associated with an increase in the number of franchised learning centers from 239 as of June 30, 2018 to 328 as of June 30, 2019.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2019 increased by RMB23.6 million, or 17.2%, to RMB160.4 million (US$23.4 million).

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. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP financial measures are set forth in table at the end of this earnings release titled “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results,” which provides more details on the non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP operating expenses, including non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, provides the Company with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of the Company’s business by excluding the effects of certain transaction-related expenses that do not reflect the ordinary operating expenses of the Company’s operations and share-based compensation.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP net income provide the Company with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of the Company’s business by excluding the effects of certain transaction-related expenses that do not reflect the ordinary EBITDA and net income of the Company’s operations.

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

Non-GAAP cost of revenues exclude relevant share-based compensation expenses and amortization of certain intangible assets (“IA”) acquired as part of the 2013 acquisition from cost of revenues. Non-GAAP operating income adds back share-based compensation expenses and amortization of certain intangible assets acquired as part of the 2013 acquisition. Each of non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses or non-GAAP general and administrative expenses excludes relevant share-based compensation expenses and amortization of certain intangible assets acquired as part of the 2013 acquisition. EBITDA represents net income before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
