__________________________1 Net income margin is
defined as net income as a percentage of net revenues.2 New student
enrollments for a given period refers to the total number of orders
placed by students that newly enroll in at least one course during
that period, including those students that enroll and then
terminate their enrollment with us, excluding orders of our
low-price courses. (In September 2019, we introduced low-price
courses, including “mini courses” and “RMB1 courses,” to strengthen
our competitiveness and improve customer experience. We offer such
low-price courses mainly in the formats of recorded videos or short
live streaming.)
“In Q3, our business has consistently adjusted
to the evolving economic landscape and has strategically progressed
despite the challenges. Our overarching objective of propelling the
Group toward sustained, high-level profitability has yielded
positive results, as we maintained sizable net profits for ten
consecutive quarters. Net income reached RMB131.6 million. Net
revenues, despite a slight year-over-year decrease, exceeded the
high end of our guidance range and reached RMB524.6 million.
We are delighted in our capability to remain
profitable under challenging environment. This success is
attributed to improvements in gross margins, the implementation of
cost-cutting measures, and enhanced financial planning and analysis
across the entire business. Our cost of revenues has achieved a
year-over-year decrease of 24.5% and general and administrative
expenses have achieved a year-over-year decrease of 21.0%. We
firmly believe that only by adhering to a long-term perspective and
ensuring the healthy growth of the enterprise can we create
sustainable value for shareholders and users,” said Mr. Tongbo Liu,
Chief Executive Officer of Sunlands.
Mr. Hangyu Li, Financial Controller of Sunlands,
commented, “last quarter was another excellent quarter in
operations. Our new student enrollments went up by 14.3% and gross
billings increased by 6.7% year-over-year. Thanks to our strategy
of balanced, sustainable growth and profitability, gross profit
margin increased by 2.5 percentage points and operating expenses as
a percentage of gross billings decreased by 2.1 percentage points
compared to the same period last year. We achieved net income of
RMB131.6 million, which is the 10th profitable quarter since the
second quarter of 2021. Looking ahead, we are committed to
expanding online course offerings, optimizing cost-effectiveness,
and providing exceptional service to our valued students. This will
help us maintain our competitive edge in the industry and continue
to create value for our stakeholders.”
Financial Results for
the third quarter of 2023
Net Revenues
In the third quarter of 2023, net revenues
decreased by 9.0% to RMB524.6 million (US$71.9 million) from
RMB576.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was
mainly driven by the year-over-year decline in gross billings in
the first nine months of 2023.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues decreased by 24.5% to RMB64.1
million (US$8.8 million) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB84.9
million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily
due to declined compensation expenses related to headcount
reduction of our cost of revenues personnel, including teachers and
mentors.

million (US$63.1 million) in the third quarter of 2023 from

to RMB295.0 million (US$40.4 million) in the third quarter of 2023

was mainly due to increased spending on branding and marketing
activities.
General and administrative expenses decreased by
21.0% to RMB35.1 million (US$4.8 million) in the third quarter of
2023 from RMB44.4 million in the third quarter of 2022. The

rental expenses.
Product development expenses decreased by 27.0%
to RMB8.4 million (US$1.2 million) in the third quarter of 2023

which are all subject to substantial uncertainty.

About Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
We use gross billings, EBITDA,
non-GAAP operating cost and expenses, non-GAAP income
from operations and Non-GAAP net income per share, each a non-GAAP
financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for
financial and operational decision-making purposes.
We define gross billings for a specific period
as the total amount of cash received for the sale of course
packages, net of the total amount of refunds paid in such period.
Our management uses gross billings as a performance measurement
because we generally bill our students for the entire course
tuition at the time of sale of our course packages and recognize
revenue proportionally over a period. EBITDA is defined as net
income excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense,
interest income, and income tax expenses. We believe that gross
billings and EBITDA provide valuable insight into the sales of our
course packages and the performance of our business.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, their most
directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with
GAAP. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial
measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP measure
has been provided in the tables included below. Investors are
encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP
financial measures to their respective most directly comparable
GAAP financial measures. As gross billings, EBITDA, operating cost
and expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, general
and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation
expenses, sales and marketing expenses excluding share-based
compensation expenses, product development expenses excluding
share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income exclude
share-based compensation expenses, and basic and diluted net income
per share excluding share-based compensation expenses have
material limitations as an analytical metric and may not be
calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other
companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not
consider gross billings and EBITDA as a substitute for, or superior
to, their respective most directly comparable financial measures
prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others
to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on
a single financial measure. Safe Harbor
