"In the fourth quarter of 2019,we continued to focus on our multi-pronged strategy for student acquisition and retention.

"In order to satisfy the diverse needs of our students,we also continued broadening our online course offerings,with more choices for master's-oriented and professional certificate programs. Our master's-oriented programs accounted for 19.8% of total gross billings in the fourth quarter of 2019,significantly higher compared with 7.8% in the same period a year ago. These initiatives,coupled with and our solid track record of pass rates,position us well to capture the strong long run growth opportunity in the online post-secondary and professional educationmarket."
Mr. Steven Yipeng Li,Chief Financial Officer of Sunlands,said,"Our net revenues were RMB549.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019,in line with our guidance. Our gross billings and new student enrollments declined 15.5% and 22.6%,respectively,year-over-year,primarily as a result of slowing macroeconomic growthin China and adjustment of marketing strategies in view of challenges in student acquisition cost. During the fourth quarter,we continued to pursue a balanced approach to grow revenue and improve profitability,by executing our student acquisition strategy while continually streamlining our cost structure. Our administrative expenses,as well as sales and marketing expenses decreased by 30.9% and 10.2%,compared with the same quarter last year. Our cost efficiency improvement measures led to a reduction in net loss in the fourth quarter,to RMB139.5 million,24.0% lower compared with a loss of RMB183.7 million in fourth quarter of 2018. Looking ahead into 2020,we are optimistic that our dedication to persistent product and service upgrades will continue to bring value to our customers,and ultimately our shareholders."

In the fourth quarter of 2019,net revenues decreased by 3.4% to RMB549.7 million (US$79.0 million) from RMB568.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of gross billings in 2019 compared with 2018.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased by 29.3% to RMB101.5 million (US$14.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019 from RMB78.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018,which was primarily due to an increase in our insurance-related costs as we began to offer a bundled service including an integrated online education service package with insurance coverage for tuition refund.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use gross billings and EBITDA,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 loss excluding depreciation and amortization,interest expense,interest income,and income tax expenses. We believe that gross billings and EBITDAprovide 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 and EBITDA 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.
