Yunlong Sha, Chairman and Chief executive officer of Puxin, commented, "We are pleased to report strong growth in both top line revenues and student enrollments in the second quarter. The increases were mainly generated by our K-12 tutoring services and study-abroad test preparation services. In addition, it is particularly encouraging that we were able to achieve such growth at the same time as we integrated and restructured a number of newly acquired schools, which obviously shows that our Puxin Business System[3] effectively improves the organic growth capacity of the Group. The experiences that we accumulate in practice make the system more efficient and effective, which in turn strengthens the overall integration ability of our business."
Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2018
Net Revenues
Net revenues increased by 123.2% to RMB531.3 million (US$80.3 million) from RMB238.0 million in the second quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily driven by increases in student enrollments. Student enrollments increased by 42.5% from 364,939 in the second quarter of 2017 to 519,962 in the same period of 2018.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the modified retrospective method of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 ("Topic 606"), which relates to revenue from contracts with customers. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased by 103.9% to RMB288.6 million (US$43.6 million) from RMB141.5 million for the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in rental costs and teacher compensation. Non-GAAP cost of revenues, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, increased by 102.7% to RMB286.3 million from RMB141.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also uses non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss attributable to Puxin Limited, basic and adjusted diluted net loss per ADS attributable to Puxin Limited, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company's operating performance. Adjusted operating loss is defined as operating loss excluding share-based compensation expenses; adjusted net loss attributable to Puxin Limited is defined as net loss attributable to Puxin Limited excluding share-based compensation expenses, loss on changes in fair value of convertible notes, derivative liabilities and warrants and loss on extinguishment of convertible notes; and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributable to Puxin Limited are defined as basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributable to Puxin Limited excluding share-based compensation expenses, loss on changes in fair value of convertible notes, derivative liabilities and warrants and loss on extinguishment of convertible notes.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company's operating results, enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation. In addition, calculations of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from calculations used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.
For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
