      (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 gain / (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.

      Operating Highlights for the Third Fiscal Quarter Ended February 28, 2023

      • The total number of schools and learning centers was 712 as of February 28, 2023, an increase of 4 compared to 708 as of November 30, 2022, and a decrease of 135 compared to 847 as of February 28, 2022, respectively. The total number of schools was 91 as of February 28, 2023.

      Michael Yu, New Oriental's Executive Chairman, commented, "In the third fiscal quarter, we continued to make solid progress in all key business lines given a favorable environment of recovery as the pandemic subsides. Our overseas test preparation and overseas study consulting businesses increased by approximately 13% and 5% year-over-year, respectively. Simultaneously, our educational new business initiatives have sustained a strong momentum and generated meaningful profit in this fiscal quarter. As of February 28, 2023, our non-academic tutoring courses were offered in over 60 cities, with 218,000 student enrollments in this fiscal quarter, while the intelligent learning system and devices were adopted in around 60 cities, with 108,000 active paid users in this fiscal quarter. We are confident that these new businesses have a huge market potential, and we will leverage our brand advantage and rich educational resources to capture these new market opportunities."

      Chenggang Zhou, New Oriental's Chief Executive Officer, added, "By the end of this fiscal quarter, the total number of schools and learning centers remained at 712. At the same time, our continued investment in maintaining the online-merge-offline teaching system has not only supported our high quality services amid the pandemic, but also helped us enhance operational efficiency as businesses gradually recover. East Buy(东方甄选) has made significant progress in its private label products and livestreaming e-commerce business, and has achieved breakthroughs in our business operations and financial performance. While East Buy has become a well-known platform for promoting healthy, top-quality and cost-effective products to the public, it continues to expand its product selection and SKUs through proactive cooperation with third parties, coupled with increased variety of our private label products. By focusing on improving product capabilities and developing diverse cultural content, East Buy has yielded millions of revenues and a loyal customer base in the first three quarters of this fiscal year. During the quarter, East Buy continued to devote substantial resources to invest in improving products, services and content."

      Stephen Zhihui Yang, New Oriental's Executive President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We are pleased to deliver continued improvement in profitability in this quarter. Our GAAP operating margin and Non-GAAP operating margin for the quarter were 8.8% and 11.7% respectively. GAAP net margin and non-GAAP net margin for the quarter were 10.8% and 12.6% respectively. We recorded a positive operating cash flow of US$190.5 million and by the end of this fiscal quarter, our cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and short-term investments totaled approximately US$4.3 billion. We are determined in pursuing profitable growth for all business lines and maintaining a healthy growth with improving operational efficiency and service quality. We are confident in creating sustainable value for our customers and shareholders in the long term."

      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 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 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 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 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.
