Management
CommentaryMr. Kevin Ma, Chairman and CEO of ACG,
stated, “Q3 2024 was a strong quarter for ACG in terms of net
revenues and student enrollment. The 13.1% increase in total net
revenues was due to expanded research-based learning and more
portfolio training services offered, and a growing number of
projects introduced this summer. Our expanded services continued to
garner student interest, reflected by a 17.9% growth in student
enrollment for all of our programs and approximately 19.6% increase
in total credit hours delivered for our portfolio training
programs.”
Mr. Ma continued, “During Q3 2024, we continued
to expand our international exposure by hosting a variety of
courses, including summer camps in London and Tokyo and a Campus
Tour Trip in U.S. universities. We also offered multiple online and
offline Master Classes covering various topics such as visual
communication, innovation design engineering, and illustration
& animation, amongst other projects. These value-adding
experiences target a diversified student population, from junior
high school to college students interested in studying abroad in
the future. We look forward to continuing expanding our portfolio
of offerings and helping students achieve positive outcomes.”
Reiterates Guidance for Fiscal Year
2024ACG is reiterating its previously provided guidance of
total net revenues of between RMB233 million and RMB255 million for
the year ending December 31, 2024, which represents a
year-over-year increase of 5% to 15%. These guidance assumptions
are based on the Company's existing business, current view of
existing market conditions and expectations for the year ending
December 31, 2024.
Mr. Jun Zhang, President of ACG, stated, “As we
are approaching the end of the year, we believe we are on the right
track to achieve our previously announced full year 2024 net
revenue guidance of RMB233 million to RMB255 million. We expect
portfolio training services to continue driving the overall
business growth for the remainder of 2024. We continue to focus on
innovation and have made substantial investments in designing and
introducing new research-based learning programs and other services
that reflect the trends in the arts industry and academia.
Furthermore, as we continue to expand coverage in existing cities
by concentrating our resources on managing larger learning centers,
we are also focused on increasing the number of partnerships,
domestically and internationally. We believe we are well positioned
to continue to grow our business in 2025 and beyond.”

Q3 2024 Financial Review – GAAP Results

million (or $9.6 million), increased 13.1% as compared to RMB59.5
million (or $8.1 million) in Q3 2023, primarily due to increased
revenue contributions from portfolio training programs and
research-based learning services. Specifically:
- Net revenues from portfolio
training programs of RMB49.4 million (or $7.0 million) increased
7.2% as compared to Q3 2023 and accounted for 73.5% of total net

revenues.

million) in Q3 2023 while gross margin decreased to 44.6%, from
49.2% in the prior-year period. The decrease in gross margin was
mainly due to the higher number of teaching staff hired during the
quarter as compared to the prior-year period to accommodate the
increased number of students, in addition to larger outsourcing
costs related to research-based learning services.
Total operating expenses for Q3 2024 were
RMB47.7 million (or $6.8 million), an increase of 28.4% from
RMB37.1 million (or $5.1 million) in Q3 2023. The increase was due
to higher selling and general & administrative expenses,
slightly offset by lower research and development expenses.
Specifically, for Q3 2024:
- Selling expenses of RMB25.7 million
(or $3.7 million) increased by RMB5.4 million or 26.8% from Q3
2023, mainly as a result of increased number of sales personnel and
other sales/marketing/event related expenses.
- General & administrative
expenses of RMB21.2 million (or $3.0 million), increased by RMB 5.6
million or 35.7% from Q3 2023, mainly as a result of an increase in
professional fees and business expansion-related investments.
- Research and development expenses
of RMB0.7 million (or $0.1 million), decreased by RMB0.5 million or
38.6% from Q3 2023, as ACG’s system development was completed in Q2
2024.

was RMB17.6 million (or $2.5 million), compared to loss from
operations of RMB7.9 million (or $1.1 million) in Q3 2023. Net loss
attributable to ACG for Q3 2024 was RMB14.7 million (or $2.1
million), from net loss attributable to ACG of RMB7.3 million (or
$1.0 million) in Q3 2023.
Basic and diluted losses per common share
attributable to ACG for Q3 2024 were RMB0.23 (or $0.03), compared

RMB137.7 million (or $19.6 million), an increase of 22.0% from

nine months ended September 30, 2024, into U.S. dollars are

About Non-GAAP Financial
MeasuresTo supplement ACG’s consolidated financial
information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, ACG uses the
following non-GAAP financial measures: net income (loss) excluding
share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain
or loss, and basic and diluted earnings (losses) per common share
and ADS excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign
currency exchange gain or loss.
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. ACG believes these non-GAAP financial
measures provide meaningful supplemental information about its
performance by excluding share-based compensation expense and
foreign currency exchange gain or loss, which may not be indicative
of its operating performance.
ACG believes that both management and investors
benefit from 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 ACG’s historical performance. ACG computes its
non-GAAP financial measures using a consistent method
from period to period. ACG 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 non-GAAP net income (loss) excluding
share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain
or loss and basic and diluted earnings (losses) per common share
and per ADS excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign
currency exchange gain or loss is that share-based compensation
charges and foreign currency exchange gain or loss have been, and
are expected to continue to be for the foreseeable future, a
significant recurring expense in ACG’s business.
Management compensates for these limitations by
providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded
from each non-GAAP measure. The table captioned “Reconciliations of
Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Comparable GAAP Measures” shown at
the end of this news release has more details on the
reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most
directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures used by
ACG.
