      Operating Highlights for the Fourth Fiscal Quarter Ended May 31, 2019

      • Total student enrollments in academic subjects tutoring and test preparation courses increased by 33.9% year-over-year to approximately 2,756,000 for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019.
      • The total number of schools and learning centers was 1,233 as of May 31, 2019, an increase of 152 compared to 1,081 as of May 31, 2018, and an increase of 69 compared to 1,164 as of February 28, 2019. The total number of schools was 95 as of May 31, 2019. 

      Michael Minhong Yu, New Oriental's Executive Chairman, commented, "We are delighted to conclude the fiscal year 2019 with continued robust growth on the top line as well as improvement in operating margin. In the fourth quarter, we recorded a top line growth of 20.2%, or 28.4% if computed in Renminbi. Our key growth driver, the K-12 after-school tutoring business, achieved a year-over-year revenue growth of approximately 28.5%, or 37.2% if computed in Renminbi. Furthermore, our U-Can middle and high school all-subjects after-school tutoring business grew by approximately 27.2%, or 35.9% if computed in Renminbi, while our POP Kids program achieved a growth of approximately 31.0%, or 39.9% if computed in Renminbi. Looking ahead, we will remain focused on enhancing the quality and standards of our educational products and services, and strive to deliver maximum value to our students." 

      Chenggang Zhou, New Oriental's Chief Executive Officer, added, "We once again delivered a strong set of results through our execution of the well-proven "Optimize the Market" strategy. During the quarter, we added a net total of 65 learning centers in existing cities and opened three new offline training schools and one learning center in the cities of Baotou, Changshu and Yuci. In the fiscal year 2019, we added a total of 152 new facilities, including 141 new learning centers in existing cities, nine offline training facilities in six new cities and two dual-teacher model facilities in two low-tier cities. Altogether, the total square meters of our classroom area by the end of the fiscal year 2019 increased by approximately 24% year-over-year. We also continued to strategically deepen our investment into the dual-teacher model classes and new initiatives for K-12 tutoring in our pure online education platform, Koolearn.com. With the innovative application of technology in our education services, we are well-placed to continue to capture new business opportunities in lower-tier cities and remote areas."

      Stephen Zhihui Yang, New Oriental's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our capacity grew steadily throughout the entire fiscal year, in line with our expansion plan, while we continued to emphasize on improving our operational efficiency. Riding on last quarter's strong bottom line performance, we once again delivered another year-over-year operating margin expansion in this quarter. During the quarter, our non-GAAP operating income increased by 30.3% year over year to approximately US$102.7 million, and non-GAAP operating margin rose by 100 basis points to 12.2% from 11.2% a year ago. As we enter the fiscal year 2020, we will continue to leverage our online and offline integrated education system across all business lines, and improve efficiency by using standardized, modularized and systemized operating process. We are confident that we will be able to deliver continued margin expansion, and generate sustainable long-term value to our customers and shareholders."

      Total student enrollments in academic subjects tutoring and test preparation courses in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019 increased by 33.9% year-over-year to approximately 2,756,000.

      • Cost of revenues increased by 24.0% year-over-year to US$371.2 million, primarily due to increases in teachers' compensation for more teaching hours and rental costs for the increased number of schools and learning centers in operation.
      • Selling and marketing expenses increased by 4.8% year-over-year to US$105.9 million.
      • General and administrative expenses for the quarter increased by 18.4% year-over-year to US$288.8 million. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses, were US$264.4 million, representing a 19.2% increase year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to increased headcount as the Company grew its network of schools and learning centers, as well as increases in R&D expenses and human resources expenses related to the development of the Company's online and offline integrated education ecosystem.

      Total share-based compensation expenses, which were allocated to related operating costs and expenses, increased by 15.9% to US$25.7 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019.

      Cash Flow

      Net operating cash flow for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019 was approximately US$326.9 million. Capital expenditures for the quarter were US$80.0 million, which were primarily attributable to the opening of 104 facilities and renovations at existing learning centers.

      Balance Sheet

      As of May 31, 2019, New Oriental had cash and cash equivalents of US$1,157.1 million, compared to US$983.3 million as of May 31, 2018. In addition, the Company had US$365.7 million in term deposits and US$1,668.7 million in short-term investment.

      New Oriental's deferred revenue balance, which is cash collected from registered students for courses and recognized proportionally as revenue as the instructions are delivered, at the end of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2019 was US$1,301.1 million, an increase of 2.4% from US$1,270.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2018. The Company adopted Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606") starting June 1, 2018, and as a result, as of May 31, 2019, US$76.1 million of deferred revenue was reclassified to accrued expenses and other current liabilities, representing estimated amounts of tuition collected that may be refunded in the future if students withdraw from a course while there are remaining classes. In addition, the lower than usual increase was due to the change of tuition fees collection schedule for K-12 after-school tutoring courses to comply with the latest regulatory requirements.

      About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      To supplement New Oriental's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, New Oriental uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: net income excluding share-based compensation expenses and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments, operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses, operating cost and expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, operating margin excluding share-based compensation expenses, and basic and diluted net income per ADS and per share excluding share-based compensation expenses and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release.

      New Oriental believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expenses and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. New Oriental believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to New Oriental's historical performance and liquidity. New Oriental believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP measures is that they exclude share-based compensation charge and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments that has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
