& adolescent quality education business was RMB 353.9 million,
with a 27.2% year-over-year increase in the first quarter of 2022.

resulting in a 16.8% growth of the Company’s net revenues.
Sun Ying, the CEO of Tarena, said that Tarena’s adult
professional education business renewed year-over-year growth, and
the childhood & adolescent quality education business has seen
positive year-over-year growth for seven consecutive quarters since

In the first quarter of 2022, with revenue growth and continued
cost reduction, Tarena ended losses, overcame seasonal factors of
the Chinese New Year and achieved a net income of RMB 27.1 million,

Sales expenses represent a substantial reduction of 19.3%;
Tarena builds positive and healthy core competitive
advantages
The financial report shows that Tarena significantly reduced its
cost of revenues in the first quarter of 2022. Due to the
successful adaptation of the Online-Merge-Offline (OMO) model for
customer acquisition and omni-channel service delivery capability,
Tarena has been able to cut marketing expenses greatly while
realizing rapid revenue growth at the same time.
Sun Ying added that Tarena’s core competitive advantages are
backed by the constant optimization and upgrading of its two
businesses’ procedures and processes, which includes the OMO
customer acquisition model and omni-channel services delivery
capability. This ability was tested in the first quarter, when
Tarena kept the business running smoothly, even a resurgence of
COVID-19 cases emerged in certain areas in China. Looking ahead,
Tarena will continue to focus on the core advantages of ‘adaptation
of OMO model to develop and deliver its comprehensive products’,
‘offline learning center operation capability’ and ‘customer
acquisition capability’ to continuously improve operational
efficiency and maintain positive and healthy development.
In the first quarter of 2022, for adult professional education
business, the 6-months post-graduate job placement rate remained
above 90%; and for childhood & adolescent business, the
proportion came from student renewal and word-of-mouth reached
74.4%, up 9.7 percentage points compared with the first quarter of
last year, with a renewal rate of students who had enrolled for
more than one year of over 83.4%.
Based on the Company’s current estimates, Tarena’s total net
revenues for the second quarter of 2022 are expected to be in the
range of RMB 600 million and RMB 630 million, after taking into
consideration the seasonal fluctuation factor and the possible
continued impact of the COVID-19.
