The robust financial performance of this quarter was driven by better utilization of facilities and enhanced cost and expenses efficiency amid our steady expansion.

Financial Results for the Third Fiscal Quarter Ended February 28,2019

Net Revenues

For the third fiscal quarter of 2019,New Oriental reported net revenues of US$796.7 million,representing a 28.9% increase year-over-year. Net revenues from educational programs and services for the third fiscal quarter were US$727.1 million,representing a 28.7% increase year-over-year. The growth was mainly driven by increases in student enrollments in K-12 after-school tutoring courses.

Total student enrollments in academic subjects tutoring and test preparation courses in the third fiscal quarter of 2019 increased by 82.3% year-over-year to approximately 1,600. The significant increase in the number of student enrollments is primarily due to the division of the spring semester into two parts. Under this method,student enrollments in the spring semester are recorded separately for each part and the student enrollments for each part fall into separate quarters. This practice was adopted in November 2018 to comply with the latest regulatory requirements.

Operating costs and expenses for the quarter were US$700.9 million,representing a 25.2% increase year-over-year. Non-GAAP operating costs and expenses for the quarter,which exclude share-based compensation expenses,were US$683.0 million,representing a 27.2% increase year-over-year.

Cost of revenues increased by 25.6% year-over-year to US$337.5 million,primarily due to increases in teachers' compensation for more teaching hours and rental costs for the increased number of schools and learning centers in operation.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by 13.3% year-over-year to US$87.5 million,primarily due to increases in brand promotion expenses and selling and marketing staff's compensation.

Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses,were US$258.0 million,representing a 35.1% increase year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to increased headcount as the Company grew its network of schools and learning centers,as well as increases in R&D expenses and human resources expenses related to the development of the Company's online and offline integrated education ecosystem.

Total share-based compensation expenses,which were allocated to related operating costs and expenses,decreased by 21.1% to US$18.0 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2019.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement New Oriental's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP,New Oriental uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: net income excluding share-based compensation expenses and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments,operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses,operating cost and expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses,general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses,operating margin excluding share-based compensation expenses,and basic and diluted net income per ADS and per share excluding share-based compensation expenses and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments.

New Oriental believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expenses and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective.

New Oriental 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 these non-GAAP measures is that they exclude share-based compensation charge and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments that has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure.
