All our business lines performed well during the third quarter, and net revenues in the quarter recorded RMB568.2 million, reaching almost the high end of our guidance. Our key revenue driver, professional education business showed 17.5% year-over-year enrollment growth, mainly driven by the capacity expansion and diversified course offerings. During the quarter, we entered into 5 new cities and added a net of 8 learning centers to broaden our market reach. As planned, Tarena successfully piloted an exciting IT course named Python in the quarter to meet the growing market demand for artificial intelligence and big data talents, which is a new addition to our existing diversified course offerings. While we explored cooperation opportunities with universities and colleges to further strengthen our branding on campus, more students started to enroll in joint major programs this September. We are achieving our mission of improving careers and changing lives of China's youngsters with the most innovative education services and higher quality education experience. Our new initiatives on modern facilities, upgraded E-learning platform, industry-leading curriculum development system as well as deepened university cooperation are distinguishing us in the marketplace."

"More importantly, we are also proud to report that our new business line kid education programs continued robust momentum, growing by 582.5% year over year, or by 108.1% quarter on quarter in the third quarter of 2017. Through extensive sales and marketing activities and shared teaching facilities with professional education business, Tarena was able to quickly capture strong growth momentum in China's kid education market. Along with the policies to encourage primary and middle schools to introduce computer science courses into curriculum system and the increasing awareness of computer science education among Chinese families, kid education business was extended into 21 cities and had 24 separate centers and more than 20 shared centers nationwide with improving student retention by the end of third quarter 2017. Total number of kid student enrollment more than tripled for the first nine months of 2017. Looking ahead, we believe our growth strategy will strengthen the solid foundation for our long-term growth." Mr. Han continued.

Mr. Yuduo Yang, Tarena's Chief Financial Officer added, "As mentioned earlier, our continued investment into network expansion, new course development, as well as kid education programs ramp-up may affect the overall margin level in short term, as a result of lower utilization of teaching facilities and higher operational cost. During this quarter, we started to optimize lease areas in underperforming centers. Total seat capacity increased by 15.5% year over year this quarter which remained at a relatively healthy level. With more scientific allocation of teaching and marketing resources, we will put a balance between expansion and operational efficiency. Though our kid education business is still at a fast growing stage and has not reached maturity level, we expect to see more and more kid education centers reaching to normalized utilization gradually in the future. We are confident that Tarena has laid down the right strategies to drive additional revenue and profitability growth and will deliver more sustainable value for our students and shareholders in the long run."

Third Quarter 2017 Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues increased by 18.1% to RMB568.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, from RMB481.0 million in the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased course enrollments and to a lesser extent, an increase in the standard tuition fees.

Total course enrollments[6] in the third quarter of 2017 increased by 9.9% to 32,526 from 29,586 in the same period in 2016, which was mainly driven by the expansion in seat capacity and the popularity of our course offerings. The number of our course offerings increased to 20 from 17 in the third quarter, while the total seat capacity in our learning centers increased by 15.5% to 58,066 as of September 30,2017 from 50,270 as of September 30, 2016 to cater to the increased demand for our courses.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we raised the standard tuition fees on most of our courses by RMB1,000 to RMB 2000 per course. 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 78%/22% and 84%/16% in the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues increased by 30.9% to RMB158.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, from RMB120.9 million in the same period in 2016. The increase was mainly due to an increase in personnel cost and welfare expenses resulting from growing number of teaching and advisory staff at our learning centers, rental cost resulting from higher seat capacity, as well as depreciation expenses for the growing number of learning centers.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased by 13.9% to RMB410.0 million in the third quarter of 2017, from RMB360.1 million in the same period in 2016. Gross margin was 72.2% in the third quarter of 2017, compared with 74.9% in the same period in 2016.The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to expansion of our center network.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased by 28.1% to RMB315.5 million in the third quarter of 2017, from RMB246.3 million in the same period in 2016.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by 26.9% to RMB190.0 million in the third quarter of 2017, from RMB149.7 million in the same period in 2016.

General and administrative expenses increased by 21.4% to RMB96.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, from RMB79.8 million in the same period in 2016.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)

Foreign exchange loss was RMB2.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to RMB1.3 million foreign exchange gain in the same period in 2016.

Income Tax Expense

Capital expenditures for the quarter were RMB50.1 million.

Shares Issued and Outstanding

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had 49,452,343 Class A and 7,206,059 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. Each ADS represents one Class A ordinary share.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, the Company revised its non-GAAP financial measures to exclude gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, in addition to its historical practice of excluding share-based compensation expenses for non-GAAP results.

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 basic and diluted net income per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact. These non-GAAP financial measures 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.

Tarena's management believes that excluding the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items identified as non-recurring and infrequent in nature, and non-cash charges. The amount of share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact are not built into the Company's annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which generally will be the basis for information Tarena provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of Tarena's current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income (loss) and net income (loss), excluding the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a recurring expense in the Company's business for the foreseeable future, and gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact may recur in the 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.

(a)      On August 21, 2017, the board of directors has authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company may repurchase up to US$30 million of its shares over the next 12 months.

 

According to the plan, the share repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. Tarena's board of directors will review the share repurchase plan periodically, and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size. The Company expects to fund repurchases made under this plan from its existing cash balance.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company repurchased 1,221,550 Class A ordinary shares from the open market with the consideration of US$17.1 million (RMB 112,454,061).
