_____________________________

1 New student enrollments for a given period refers to the total number of orders placed by students that newly enroll in at least one course during that period, including those students that enroll and then terminate their enrollment with us, excluding orders of our low-price courses. (In June 2019, we introduced low-price courses, including “mini courses” and “RMB1 courses,” to strengthen our competitiveness and improve customer experience. We offer such low-price courses mainly in the formats of recorded videos or short live streaming.)

“In Q2, our business showcased remarkable resilience and steady performance. Our second quarter net revenue reached RMB526.4 million, exceeding the high end of our guidance range. Net income experienced year-over-year increase, reaching RMB173.9 million in Q2, marking the ninth consecutive quarter of sustained profitability for our company. We maintain a positive outlook for the upcoming second half of the year,” said Mr. Tongbo Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Sunlands.

“Through proactive reassessment of our long-term strategic focus and implementation of a series of endeavors, our pursuit of developing valuable interest courses has continued to yield remarkable results. Specifically, our revenue in the professional certification preparation, professional skills and interest courses has surged by 32.7% year-over-year, and we have witnessed a 36.8% increase in new student enrollments in this sector. The robust market demands have instilled us with confidence and we remain committed to seizing emerging opportunities actively, promoting innovation and improvement to meet the diverse needs of adult learners, and achieving sustained growth and development,” concluded Mr. Liu.

Mr. Hangyu Li, Financial Controller of Sunlands, commented, “We are delighted to announce that this quarter was also an excellent quarter in financial perspective. Our gross profit margin reached 88.7%, an increase of 5.1 percentage points compared with the same period last year. Thanks to our persistent efforts in cost controls, the operating expenses decreased by RMB40.1 million, or 11.4%, year-over-year and our net income margin increased 12.4 percentage points compared to the same period last year. Looking forward, we will keep our commitment to delivering value to our stakeholders and maintaining a competitive edge in the industry.”

Net Revenues

In the second quarter of 2023, net revenues decreased by 5.2% to RMB526.4 million (US$72.6 million) from RMB555.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was mainly driven by the year-over-year decline in gross billings in 2023.

Cost of revenues decreased by 34.8% to RMB59.5 million (US$8.2 million) in the second quarter of 2023 from RMB91.2 million in the second quarter of 2022.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use gross billings, EBITDA, non-GAAP operating cost and expense, non-GAAP income from operations and Non-GAAP net income per share, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

We define gross billings for a specific period as the total amount of cash received for the sale of course packages, net of the total amount of refunds paid in such period. Our management uses gross billings as a performance measurement because we generally bill our students for the entire course tuition at the time of sale of our course packages and recognize revenue proportionally over a period. EBITDA is defined as net income excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, and income tax expenses. We believe that gross billings and EBITDA provide valuable insight into the sales of our course packages and the performance of our business.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, their most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP measure has been provided in the tables included below. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As gross billings, EBITDA, operating cost and expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, sales and marketing expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, product development expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income exclude share-based compensation expenses, and basic and diluted net income per share excluding share-based compensation expenses have material limitations as an analytical metric and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider gross billings and EBITDA as a substitute for, or superior to, their respective most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
