Notably, we have established the international education business unit, strategically consolidating our language exam preparation services and study-abroad consulting services. Our competitive edge around ZMN Education and Global Education remains strong while a streamlined operation not only reduced cost, but also elevated efficiency. The new business unit has successfully bolstered our service quality and our ability to capture additional market share through integrating our different brands internally. At the meantime, our K-12 business remains the business focus of the group, and we have improved our profitability significantly despite of the COVID-19 impact. We will continue to invest in improving teaching quality and learning experience to maintain our firm position as industry leader in the K-12 after-school tutoring space."

      Mr. Peng Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Puxin, commented, "Although the summer break was much shorter this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to achieve net income and EBITDA year-over-year growth of 25.7% and 9.4%, respectively. This is a direct beneficiary of our improved operations and implementation of the Online-Merge-Offline strategy. For the three quarters of this year, our net income was RMB33.7 million, and our EBITDA was RMB145.4 million. Furthermore, based on the semi-annual report published by MSCI on November 10, 2020, we have been included in the MSCI Global Small Cap Index – MSCI China Index for the first time. This is a recognition of our operational excellence and our value proposition, which will fuel our continued growth in the capital markets and deliver long-term, sustained value to our shareholders and investors."

      Financial and Operational Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2020

      Net Revenues

      Net revenues decreased by 16.3% to RMB833.2 million (US$122.7 million) from RMB996.0 million in the third quarter of 2019. This decrease was primarily due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for study-abroad tutoring services.

      Net revenues of K-12 tutoring services increased by 1.0% to RMB609.3 million (US$89.7 million) from RMB603.2 million in the third quarter of 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, the student enrollments of K-12 tutoring services, including group class, personalized tutoring and full-time tutoring services, reached 827,685.

      Net revenues of Puxin Online School increased to RMB32.5 million (US$4.8 million) from RMB7.2 million in the same period of 2019. Student enrollments of Puxin Online School were 283,598 in the third quarter of 2020.

      Net revenues of study-abroad tutoring services decreased by 50.4% to RMB191.4 million (US$28.2 million) from RMB385.6 million in the third quarter of 2019. This was primarily due to a continued impact from the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in major countries of the world. However, net revenues of study-abroad tutoring service had an increase of 21.6% compared to the second quarter of 2020.

      Cost of Revenues

      Cost of revenues decreased by 14.6% to RMB422.6 million (US$62.2 million) from RMB494.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to a decrease in staff cost which reflected the decreased demand for study-abroad services attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cost of revenues, excluding share-based compensation expenses, decreased by 14.5% to RMB422.1 million (US$62.2 million) from RMB493.6 million in the third quarter of 2019.

      Gross Profit and Gross Margin

      Gross profit was RMB410.6 million (US$60.5 million), a decrease of 18.1% from RMB501.5 million in the third quarter of 2019. Gross margin was 49.3%, compared to 50.3% for the same period in 2019.

      Operating Expenses

      Total operating expenses decreased by 7.7% to RMB424.6 million (US62.5 million) from RMB459.9 million in the third quarter of 2019.

      Selling expenses increased by 4.0% to RMB317.0 million (US$46.7 million) from RMB304.8 million in the third quarter of 2019. Selling expenses, excluding share-based compensation expenses, increased by 4.7% to RMB313.9 million (US$46.2 million) from RMB299.9 million in the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to our increased marketing and promotion activities during the third quarter of 2020 to further increase student enrollments.

      General and administrative expenses decreased by 30.7% to RMB107.6 million (US$15.8 million) from RMB155.1 million during the same period of 2019. General and administrative expenses, excluding share-based compensation expenses, decreased by 30.3% to RMB104.7 million (US$15.4 million) from RMB150.3 million in the third quarter of 2019. The decreases were primarily due to our cost control measures to improve operation efficiency.

      Total share-based compensation expenses allocated to related cost of revenues and operating expenses decreased by 39.5% to RMB6.5 million (US$1.0 million) from RMB10.7 million in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of options vested in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019.

      Operating Income (Loss) and Operating Margin

      Operating loss was RMB13.9 million (US$2.1 million), compared to operating income of RMB41.5 million in the third quarter of 2019. Operating margin was (1.7)% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 4.2% for the same period in 2019.

      Operating income of K-12 tutoring services decreased by 6.5% to RMB54.0 million (US$8.0 million) from RMB57.8 million in the same period of 2019. Operating margin of K-12 tutoring services was 8.9%, slightly dropped from 9.6% in the same period of 2019.

      Adjusted operating margin[4] was (0.9)%, compared to 5.2% in the same period of the prior year.

      Net revenues were RMB2,185.6 million (US$321.9 million), a decrease of 2.6% from RMB2,244.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for study-abroad tutoring services.

      Net revenues of K-12 tutoring services increased by 15.0% to RMB1,552.3 million (US$228.6 million) from RMB1,349.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

      Net revenues of study-abroad tutoring services decreased by 37.3% to RMB553.8 million (US$81.6 million) from RMB882.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This was primarily due to a continued impact from the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in major countries of the world.

      Cost of revenues decreased by 0.8% to RMB1,154.2 million (US$170.0 million) from RMB1,163.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in staff cost which reflected the decreased demand for study-abroad services attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cost of revenues, excluding share-based compensation expenses, decreased by 0.6% to RMB1,152.4 million (US$169.7 million) from RMB1,159.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Selling expenses, excluding share-based compensation expenses, decreased by 0.6% to RMB747.4 million (US$110.1 million) from RMB751.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in sales staff's performance-based compensation attributable to decreased demand for our study-abroad services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was partially offset by increased marketing expenses attributable to marketing and promotion activities for our online business.

      General and administrative expenses decreased by 46.2% to RMB309.8 million (US$45.6 million) from RMB576.2 million during the same period of 2019. General and administrative expenses, excluding share-based compensation expenses, decreased by 20.2% to RMB300.2 million (US$44.2 million) from RMB376.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decreases were primarily due to our cost control measures to improve operation efficiency.

      Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      To supplement the Company's financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also uses non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Puxin Limited, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS attributable to Puxin Limited, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company's operating performance. Adjusted operating income (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses; adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income (loss) divided by net revenues; adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Puxin Limited is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Puxin Limited excluding share-based compensation expenses and gain (loss) on changes in fair value of derivative liabilities; EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation, amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expenses (benefits); adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation, amortization, interest expense, interest income, income tax expenses (benefits), share-based compensation expenses and gain (loss) on changes in fair value of derivative liabilities; EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by net revenues; adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues; adjusted basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS attributable to Puxin Limited are defined as basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS attributable to Puxin Limited excluding share-based compensation expenses and gain (loss) on changes in fair value of derivative liabilities.

      The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company's operating results, enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making.

      Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation. In addition, calculations of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from calculations used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

      The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

      For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
