Julia Huang, executive chairman commented, "We are pleased with our results in the first quarter of 2012 and are optimistic about the full year. As seen historically, over eighty percent of our net revenue results from student enrollments in our core online degree programs. We continue to focus our attention on our core business and are confident that with continued effort and innovation we will see further organic growth in student enrollments in these programs. We will continue to stay close to our online teaching expertise as we move through 2012 and beyond."

Mr. Simon Mei, chief financial officer commented, "With a strong top line, enhanced by significant increases in student enrollment in online degree programs, careful cost management allowed for an equally well enhanced bottom line in the first quarter of 2012. We have been cautious with headcount increases and marketing spending, even reducing headcount in certain non-essential areas where redundancies were found. Moving forward, we will continue to implement these cost control measures and manage our financial situation, allowing us to successfully navigate a developing industry."

Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2012

Net Revenue

Total net revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was $18.1 million, a 24.7 percent increase from $14.5 million in the corresponding period in 2011.

Net revenue from online degree programs for the first quarter of 2012 was $14.6 million, a 28.3 percent increase over $11.4 million in the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to organic growth in revenue students enrolled in our core online degree programs. There was also strong growth in revenue contributed from our learning centers network and increased revenue contribution from our online non-degree training programs. Enrollment for 2011 Fall semester online degree programs was approximately 197,000 revenue students, a 27.9 percent increase from approximately 154,000 revenue students enrolled in the Fall 2010 semester.

As of March 31 2012, ChinaEdu's learning centers network was providing recruiting services for 22 universities with 105 operational learning centers, of which 55 were proprietary centers[6] and 50 were contracted centers[7]. This compares to 96 operational learning centers as of March 31, 2011, of which 53 were proprietary and 43 were contracted centers.

Net revenue from non-degree programs, including online tutoring programs, private primary and secondary schools and international and elite curriculum programs, in the first quarter of 2012 was $3.5 million, an 11.8 percent increase from $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. The growth was mainly driven by an increase in student enrollments at our private schools in Anqing and Pingdingshan as well as strong performance by our 101 online school tutoring programs.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was $7.2 million, representing an increase of 14.5 percent, compared to $6.3 million in the corresponding period of 2011.

Cost of revenue for online degree programs in the first quarter of 2012 was $4.8 million, an increase of 13.5 percent from $4.2 million in the corresponding period of 2011. The cost increase was primarily due to the increase in staff costs that resulted from headcount increase across the Company, especially in our online degree programs that have seen significant growth beginning in the second half of 2011 and continuing in the first quarter of 2012.  

Cost of revenue for non-degree programs in the first quarter of 2011 was $2.4 million, an increase of 16.5 percent from $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. The cost of revenue increase was primarily related to employee costs, leasing costs and service fees associated with our 101 online tutoring programs and teaching costs, dormitory, canteen and transportation costs related to our private primary schools in Anqing and Pingdingshan.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2012 was $10.9 million, compared to $8.2 million in the corresponding period of 2011. Gross margin increased to 60.1 percent, compared to 56.5 percent in the corresponding period in 2011.

Gross margin for online degree programs increased to 67.0 percent for the first quarter of 2012, compared to 62.7 percent in the corresponding period of 2011. The increases in gross margin and gross profit were primarily related to organic growth in the number of revenue students enrolled in online degree programs.

Gross margin for private schools increased to 27.6 percent in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 25.6 percent in the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to continued strong enrollment at the Anqing School, which is enjoying economics of scale, as well as increased enrollment at our Pingdingshan School.

Gross margin for online tutoring programs decreased to 54.7 percent in the first quarter of 2012, from 64.4 percent in first quarter of 2011, largely due to increased staff and leasing costs associated with these programs.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2012, representing a 13.1 percent increase from $6.5 million for the corresponding period in 2011. As a percentage of net revenue, total operating expenses decreased to 40.4 percent, compared to 44.6 percent in the corresponding period in 2011. The increase in total operating expense was the result of the following:

  • General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2012 were $4.1 million, an increase of 17.9 percent from $3.5 million in the corresponding period in 2011. More than half of the increase in general and administrative expenses over the year ago period was the result of an early termination penalty related to a terminated lease agreement. As a percentage of net revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 22.7 percent, compared with 24.0 percent in the same period in 2011 as a result of increased net revenue.
  • Selling and marketing expenses were $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 15.4 percent compared to $1.4 million in the corresponding period in 2011. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in marketing activities. As a percentage of net revenue, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 9.2 percent, compared with 9.9 percent in the same period in 2011.
  • Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2012 were $1.6 million, flat with the corresponding period in 2011. As a percentage of net revenue, the research and development expense was 8.6 percent in the first quarter of 2012, decreasing from 10.7 percent in the same period of 2011.

Income from Operations

Income from operations in the first quarter of 2012 was $3.6 million, an increase of 105.7 percent compared to $1.7 million in the corresponding period of 2011. This was mainly due to the significant increase in student enrollment in online degree programs coupled with well-enforced cost controlling measures and cautious spending practices. Operating margin increased to 19.6 percent for the first quarter of 2012, compared to 11.9 percent in the corresponding period of 2011.

Adjusted income from operations, a non-GAAP measure defined as income from operations excluding share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and land use rights, was $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 89.1 percent compared to $2.2 million in the corresponding period of 2011.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company uses non-GAAP measures of income from operations and net income attributable to ChinaEdu, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain non-cash items of share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets and land use rights. Adjusted operating margin defined as the ratio of adjusted operating income from operation over net revenue. Adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu per basic and diluted ADS are a non-GAAP measure which are computed using adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu over the number of ADSs used in net income attributable to ChinaEdu per basic and diluted ADS calculation.

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the investors' overall understanding of the Company's current and past financial performance in on-going core operations as well as prospects for the future. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Management considers the non-GAAP information as important measures internally and therefore deems it important to provide all of this information to investors.
