In the fourth quarter,we recorded a top line growth of 44.1%,while student enrollments were up approximately 44.9% during the period. The strong top line performance was driven by the continued momentum of our K-12 after-school tutoring business with enrollment and revenue growth of approximately 52% and 52% year-over-year,respectively. For the full fiscal year,net revenues grew by 36%,with total enrollments up by 30.3%. Our key growth driver,K-12 after-school tutoring business,achieved approximately 46% increase in revenue in fiscal year 2018,contributing approximately 59% of our total revenue. Furthermore,our U-Can middle and high school all-subjects after-school tutoring business had a revenue growth of approximately 44%,while the POP Kids program grew by approximately 51% year-over-year. It is particularly encouraging that we have achieved consistent increase in our customer retention rate this year,which is a clear testament to our consistent high quality of service. We are confident about the overall market prospect,and well-placed to continue gaining market share over the long term."

Chenggang Zhou,New Oriental's Chief Executive Officer,added,"During the fiscal year,we continued to implement our 'Optimize the Market' strategy and step up our capacity expansion efforts in cities with robust growth momentum,while maintaining high operational efficiency. This enabled us to seize tremendous market opportunities with our standardized online and offline integrated education system. During the quarter,we added a net total of 81 learning centers in 37 existing cities. For fiscal year 2018,we added a total of 226 new facilities,including 200 new learning centers in existing cities,11 offline training facilities in three new cities,14 dual-teacher model facilities in six low-tier cities,and one kindergarten in Hong Kong. Altogether,our total square meters of classroom area by the end of fiscal 2018 increased by approximately 40% year-over-year. Furthermore,we proved highly successful in leveraging our online and offline integrated standardized teaching system in our core offline business including K-12 tutoring and overseas test preparation businesses."

Stephen Zhihui Yang,New Oriental's Chief Financial Officer,"We are encouraged by the fact that even with the increase in our overall capacity by approximately 40% year-over-year,we had a constant year-over-year operating margin in our language training and test preparation business in this quarter,indicating that the margin pressure in the previous three quarters has eased off. Looking ahead into fiscal year 2019,we aim to add approximately 20-25% new teaching facilities in existing cities mainly in our K-12 after-school tutoring business. In addition,we will continue to expand our businesses into remote areas in China through the rolling out of dual-teacher model schools and new initiatives in our pure online K-12 after-school tutoring. We will continue to uphold the healthy balance between our strong growth momentum and cost control with our efforts in improving the utilization rate of our facilities. With these strategies in place,we are confident in our endeavor in delivering sustainable long-term value to our customers and shareholders."

New Oriental believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expenses 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 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. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
