      (1)  Each ADS represents ten common shares. The Hong Kong-listed shares are fully fungible with the ADSs listed on NYSE.
            The weighted average number of ADS and earnings per ADS have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the ADS ratio
            change from one ADS representing one common share to one ADS representing ten common shares, which became effective
            on April 8, 2022.

      (2)  GAAP represents Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America.

      (3)  New Oriental provides net income / (loss) attributable to New Oriental, operating income / (loss) and net income / (loss) per
            ADS attributable to New Oriental on a Non-GAAP basis that excludes share-based compensation expenses and loss from fair
            value change of investments to provide supplemental information regarding its operating performance. For more information
            on these Non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section captioned "About Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the
            tables captioned "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Comparable GAAP Measures" set forth at the end of
            this release.

      (4)  The Non-GAAP net income / (loss) per ADS attributable to New Oriental is computed using Non-GAAP net income / (loss)
            attributable to New Oriental and the same number of shares and ADSs used in GAAP basic and diluted EPS calculation.

      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 loss from fair value change of 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 loss from fair value change of investments. The related tax effect of the exclusion of share-based compensation expenses and loss from fair value change of investments has been immaterial. 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 loss from fair value change of 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 loss from fair value change of 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.
