IT courses grew by 31% and accounted for 59% of the total student enrollments in 2015 and non-IT courses grew even faster by 55% to account for the remaining 41% of the total student enrollments. In addition, we launched Tongcheng and Tongmei courses in the fourth quarter to target younger audience, further expanding our customer base and increasing center utilization and profitability," Mr. Han continued. 

"Lastly, we are especially proud that we continued to deliver excellent education quality and students outcomes in 2015, achieving once again the 4-month post-course job placement rate of above 95%. Such results will continue to build our brand recognition and solidify our leading position in China's professional education services market," Mr. Han concluded.

Our gross margin in the fourth quarter increased by 210 basis points year-over-year while non-GAAP operating margin increased by 890 basis points year-over-year. After a transitional second quarter in 2015, we have delivered two consecutive strong quarters with solid margins.

FourthQuarter 2015 Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues increased by 51.2% to US$60.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from US$39.7 million in the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to increased course enrollments and to a less extent, an increase in the standard tuition fees.

Total course enrollments in the fourth quarter of 2015 increased by 36.8% to 23,466 from 17,155 in the same period in 2014, which was driven mainly by the number and the popularity of our course offerings. The number of our course offerings increased to 16 from 12 in the fourth quarter year-over-year, while the total seat capacity in our learning centers increased by 34.5% to 42,434 as of December 31, 2015 from 31,545 as of December 31, 2014 to cater to the increased demand for our courses.

In March 2015, we raised the standard tuition fees on most of our courses by RMB1,000 per course to RMB17,800. We charge students enrolled through the retail channel our standard tuition fee and provide students enrolled through the university channel a discount of approximately RMB4,000 per person per course. Our student enrollment mix from retail and university channel was 80%/20% and 82%/18% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues increased by 39.5% to US$15.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from US$10.8 million in the same period in 2014. The increase was mainly due to higher personnel cost and welfare expenses resulting from increased number of teaching and advisory staff at our learning centers and higher average salary, higher rental cost resulting from increased seat capacity, as well as higher depreciation expenses for our learning centers.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased by 55.6% to US$44.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from US$28.8 million in the same period in 2014. Gross margin increased to 74.8% in the fourth quarter of 2015 from 72.7% in the same period in 2014. The improvement in gross margin was mainly due to increased operational scale for our learning centers. Our overall center utilization rate in the fourth quarter of 2015 decreased to 72% from 75% in the same period in 2014, mainly due to increased seat capacity and renovation in certain centers in preparation for Tongcheng and Tongmei programs.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased by 33.4% to US$30.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from US$23.1 million in the same period in 2014. Total non-GAAP operating expenses, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, increased by 32.9% to US$29.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from US$22.2 million in the same period in 2014. Total share-based compensation expenses allocated to the related operating expenses increased by 44.6% to US$1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from US$1.0 million in the same period in 2014.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by 36.1% to US$16.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from US$12.3 million in the same period in 2014. The increase was mainly due to higher personnel cost and welfare expenses related to the growth in our selling and marketing headcount and higher average salary, and expanded marketing efforts primarily as a result of increased spending on advertising as we expanded our network of learning centers.

General and administrative expenses increased by 28.5% to US11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from US$9.1 million in the same period in 2014. The increase was mainly due to higher compensation cost for our increased number of general and administrative personnel to support our growing operations, higher bad debt allowance and higher share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, increased by 27.1% to US$10.5 million, from US$8.3million in the same period in 2014.

Research and development expenses increased by 40.6% to US$2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from US$1.7 million in the same period in 2014. The increase was mainly due to higher personnel cost and welfare expenses of our instructors allocated to their content development activities for our courses, as well as increased number of research and development staff as we expanded our course offerings and operations.

Operating Income

Operating income increased by 145.9% to US$14.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from US$5.7 million in the same period in 2014.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 25.8% in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to 16.9% in the same period in 2014.

Interest Income, Net

Net interest income was US$1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to US$1.5 million in the same period in 2014. Interest income in both periods consisted of interest earned on our cash and time deposits in commercial banks and interest income recognized in relation to our installment payment plan for students.

Foreign Exchange Loss

Foreign exchange loss was US$1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to US$0.3 million foreign exchange gainin the same period in 2014. The loss was attributable to the depreciation of China's RMB against U.S. dollar as a significant portion of the Company's IPO proceeds in April 2014 had been converted into RMB and placed in bank deposits.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was US$0.1million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to US$0.5 million in the same period in 2014. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the effective income tax rate to 1.0% in the fourth quarter of 2015 from 6.7% in the same period in 2014, partially offset by higher profit before tax. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a tax holiday enjoyed by one of our wholly owned subsidiaries that is qualified as a "Newly Established Software Enterprise" under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which provides a two-year full exemption from enterprise income tax from 2014 to 2015 followed by a three-year 50% exemption from 2016 to 2018, as well as more profit before tax being generated by the tax exempt subsidiary.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 net income per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the share-based compensation expenses.

Our non-GAAP financial information provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. These non-GAAP financial information 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.

A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income and net income is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in the Company's business for the foreseeable 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.

(b) Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders reflected the impact of non-cash accounting charges relating to the preferred shares. All outstanding preferred shares were automatically converted into ordinary shares
upon the completion of the Company's IPO on April 3, 2014. Thereafter, there will be no accretion to the preferred shares and all net income will be attributable to the ordinary shareholders

(c) The Company uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class method, when calculating the basic and dilutive EPS, net income attributable to ordinary shareholders
is adjusted to reflect the net income which is allocated to preferred shares.
