We continue to see healthy growth in our online degree programs and are making efforts to build our online professional and certification training programs to help narrow the gap between the skills of the workforce and present-day employers' needs. We are also working to improve our interactive learning capability by integrating mobile and social network applications into our K-12 programs. As these programs begin to benefit from our focus on technology-supported interactive learning, we will look for ways to integrate the platforms into our adult training and degree offerings. At the same time, we continue to closely monitor and control costs across our businesses, enabling us to deliver yet another successful quarter. As we look towards the close of 2012, we are confident in the full year results we will deliver and we are optimistic about the year ahead."

Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2012

Net Revenue

Total net revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $19.7 million, an 8.7 percent increase from $18.1 million in the corresponding period in 2011.

Net revenue from online degree programs for the third quarter of 2012 was $15.8 million, a 9.4 percent increase from $14.4 million in the corresponding period in 2011. As seen in the previous quarter, the increase in net revenue from online degree programs in the third quarter was primarily due to organic growth in revenue students enrolled in core online degree programs. Some growth was also attributed to greater revenue contribution from our learning centers network and increased revenue contribution from our online non-degree training programs. Enrollment for online degree programs in the Spring 2012 semester was approximately 193,000 revenue students, an increase of 21.4 percent from approximately 159,000 revenue students in the Spring 2011 semester.

As of September 30 2012, ChinaEdu's learning centers network was providing recruiting services for 22 universities with 116 operational learning centers, of which 55 were proprietary centers[6] and 61 were contracted centers[7]. This compares to 103 operational learning centers as of September 30, 2011, of which 59 were proprietary and 44 were contracted centers.

Net revenue from non-degree programs, including online tutoring programs, private primary and secondary schools and international and elite curriculum programs, in the third quarter of 2012 was $3.9 million, a 6.0 percent increase from $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2011. The growth was mainly driven by increased enrollment at our private schools in Anqing and Pingdingshan as well as an increase in tuition at our Anqing private school.

[6] Proprietary centers refer to self-owned learning centers operated either under the Company's own brand name or the brand name of a university pursuant to a licensing arrangement with that university.

[7] Contracted centers refer to agreement with third party learning centers pursuant to which the Company only provides assistance in applying for approval from provincial level education authorities as well as securing additional university online degree programs. In return, the Company receives a percentage of the tuition earned by these third party learning centers.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $7.7 million, representing an increase of 1.5 percent, compared to $7.6 million in the corresponding period of 2011.

Cost of revenue for online degree programs in the third quarter of 2012 was $5.4 million, an increase of 7.5 percent from $5.0 million in the corresponding period of 2011. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to an increase in staff costs that resulted from a headcount increase across the Company.

Cost of revenue for non-degree programs in the third quarter of 2012 was $2.3 million, a decrease of 10.5 percent from $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in cost of revenue in this area was mainly due to decreases in employee costs and leasing costs related to our international and elite curriculum programs.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2012 was $12.0 million, compared to $10.6 million in the corresponding period of 2011. Gross margin increased to 61.0 percent, compared to 58.2 percent in the corresponding period in 2011.

Gross margin for online degree programs increased to 65.7 percent for the third quarter of 2012, compared to 65.1 percent in the corresponding period of 2011.

Gross margin for private schools increased to 40.3 percent, compared to 29.4 percent in the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to increased student enrollment at our private schools in Anqing and Pingdingshan as well as a tuition increase at the Anqing school.

Gross margin for online tutoring programs decreased to 63.9 percent from 65.6 percent in third quarter of 2011, largely due to decreased barter transaction revenue.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2012, representing a 16.3 percent increase from $7.7 million in the corresponding period in 2011. As a percentage of net revenue, total operating expenses increased to 45.5 percent, compared to 42.5 percent in the corresponding period in 2011. The increase in total operating expense was the result of the following:

  • General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2012 were $4.3 million, an increase of 16.6 percent compared to $3.7 million in the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was mainly the result of an early termination fee related to a lease agreement and an increase in conference fees and travel fees. As a percentage of net revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 22.0 percent, compared with 20.5 percent in the same period in 2011.
  • Selling and marketing expenses were $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2012,a decrease of 13.7 percent compared to $2.3 million in the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to a significant decrease in marketing activities surrounding international and elite curriculum programs. As a percentage of net revenue, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 9.9 percent, compared with 12.5 percent in the same period in 2011.
  • Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2012 were $1.7 million, flat with the corresponding period in 2011. As a percentage of net revenue, the research and development expense was 8.8 percent in the third quarter of 2012, decreasing from 9.5 percent in the same period in 2011.
  • The Company incurred an intangible asset impairment charge in relation to the BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology) and FEC (Friendly Experimental Class) programs in the international and elite curriculum division in the third quarter of 2012, resulting in an aggregate non-cash charge of $0.9 million (RMB5.9 million). The Company does not plan to enter into new cooperative agreements such as these in the near future. Due to the projection that demonstrated the operation from the FEC program and continuing losses from the BCIT programs, the Company believes that the intangible assets carrying amount associated with the BCIT and FEC programs may not be recoverable. The fair value for the intangible assets of these programs is less than the carrying value as of September 30, 2012, resulting in impairment of these two programs in the current quarter. The excess carrying value of the intangible assets over its fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.

Income from Operations

Income from operations in the third quarter of 2012 was $3.1 million, an increase of 7.3 percent compared to $2.8 million in the corresponding period of 2011. The increase was mainly due to an increase in student enrollment in online degree programs in the Spring semester as well as increased enrollment at our private schools. Operating margin decreased very slightly to 15.5 percent in the third quarter of 2012, compared to 15.7 percent in the corresponding period of 2011.  The non-cash intangible assets impairment charge affected income from operations by $0.9 million.

Adjusted income from operations, a non-GAAP measure defined as income from operations excluding share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, land use rights, and impairment charges, was $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 36.0 percent compared to $3.3 million in the corresponding period of 2011.

Adjusted operating margin, a non-GAAP measure defined as the ratio of adjusted income from operations over net revenue, for the third quarter of 2012 increased to 22.7 percent, compared to 18.2 percent in the corresponding period of 2011.

Interest and Investment Income

Interest and investment income for the third quarter of 2012 increased 112.6 percent to $0.7 million, compared to $0.3 million for the corresponding quarter of 2011.

Income Tax Expense

In the third quarter of 2012, the income tax expense was $1.5 million and the effective income tax rate calculated without consideration for the impairment charge was 31.5 percent. This compares with an income tax expense of $0.5 million and effective income tax rate of 14.2 percent in same period of 2011. The increase in income tax expense is attributable to the provision of valuation allowance of the deferred tax assets that arose in the carrying losses in the international and elite programs.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2012, flat with the corresponding period in 2011.

Net Income Attributable to ChinaEdu

Net income attributable to ChinaEdu, which is net income, excluding net income attributable to non-controlling interests, was $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 47.5 percent from $0.9 million in the corresponding period of 2011. The non-cash intangible assets impairment charge and related deferred income tax impact affected net income attributable to ChinaEdu by $0.9 million and $0.6 million respectively.

Net income attributable to ChinaEdu per basic and diluted ADS was $0.031 and $0.030, respectively, for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $0.060 and $0.057, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2011. The non-cash intangible assets impairment charge and related deferred income tax impact affected net income attributable to ChinaEdu per basic and diluted ADS by $0.096 and $0.091, respectively.

Adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu was $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $1.4 million in the corresponding period of 2011. Adjusted net margin, a non-GAAP measure defined as the ratio of adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu over net revenue, was 9.7 percent in the third quarter of 2012, compared to 7.6 percent in the corresponding period of 2011. The non-cash intangible assets impairment charge and related deferred income tax impact affected adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu by $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which affected adjusted net margin by 2.9 percent.

Adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu per basic and diluted ADS was $0.120 and $0.115, respectively, for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $0.088 and $0.083, respectively, in the corresponding period of 2011.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, total cost of revenue was $22.4 million, an increase from $20.9 million in the corresponding period in 2011. Cost of revenue for online degree programs in the first nine months of 2012 was $15.2 million, an increase of 8.6 percent compared to $14.0 million in the corresponding period of 2011.

Gross Profit

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company uses non-GAAP measures of income from operations and net income attributable to ChinaEdu, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain non-cash items of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and land use rights and impairment charge. Adjusted operating margin defined as the ratio of adjusted operating income from operation over net revenue. Adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu per basic and diluted ADS are a non-GAAP measure which are computed using adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu over the number of ADSs used in net income attributable to ChinaEdu per basic and diluted ADS calculation.

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the investors' overall understanding of the Company's current and past financial performance in on-going core operations as well as prospects for the future. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Management considers the non-GAAP information as important measures internally and therefore deems it important to provide all of this information to investors.
