Financial Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2019

Net Revenues

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, TAL reported net revenues of US$586.0 million, representing a 35.3% increase from US$433.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. The increase was mainly driven by an increase in total student enrollments, which increased by 68.4% to approximately 2,599,180 from approximately 1,543,740 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in total student enrollments was driven primarily by promotions in small class and online courses.

Operating Costs and Expenses

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, operating costs and expenses were US$515.4 million, a 32.4% increase from US$389.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. Non-GAAP operating costs and expenses, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, were US$493.5 million, a 30.9% increase from US$377.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Cost of revenues increased by 21.0% to US$267.6 million, from US$221.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. The increase in cost of revenues was mainly due to an increase in teacher compensation and rental costs. Non-GAAP cost of revenues, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, increased by 21.0% to US$267.5 million from US$221.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by 64.4% to US$101.6 million from US$61.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, increased by 62.9% to US$98.5 million from US$60.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. The increase of selling and marketing expenses in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 was primarily a result of more marketing promotion activities to expand our customer base and brand enhancement, as well as a rise in the compensation to sales and marketing staff to support a greater number of programs and service offerings compared to the same period in the prior year.

General and administrative expenses increased by 37.9% to US$146.2 million from US$106.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to an increase of the number of our general and administrative personnel compared to the same period in the prior year and a rise in compensation to our general and administrative personnel. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, increased by 33.9% to US$127.5 million from US$95.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Total share-based compensation expenses allocated to the related operating costs and expenses increased by 79.1% to US$21.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 from US$12.2 million in the same period of fiscal year 2018.

Other Income

Other income was US$98.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, compared to other income of US$5.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. Other income in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 was substantially all from the fair value changes of a long-term investment. The fair value changes of the long-term investment were transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income to other income as the investment was reclassified from available-for-sale investment to equity security with readily determinable fair value upon listing on the Hong Kong Exchange in November 2018.

Impairment loss on long-term investments

Impairment loss on long-term investments was US$41.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, compared to US$1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. Impairment loss on long-term investments was mainly due to other-than-temporary declines in the value of long-term investments in several investees.

Income tax expense was US$10.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, compared to US$11.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 were US$73.0 million, representing an increase of US$44.7 million from US$28.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. The increase was mainly due to leasehold improvements and the purchase of land use right, servers, computers, software systems and other hardware for the Company's teaching facilities and mobile network research and development.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

As of November 30, 2018, the Company had US$1,253.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and US$359.3 million of short-term investments, compared to US$711.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and US$787.4 million of short-term investments as of February 28, 2018.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating its business, TAL considers and uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as supplemental metrics to review and assess its operating performance: non-GAAP operating costs and expenses, non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income attributable to TAL, non-GAAP basic and non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS. To present each of these non-GAAP measures, the Company excludes share-based compensation expenses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release.

TAL believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. TAL 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 TAL's historical performance and liquidity. TAL computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and from period to period. TAL 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 measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the Company's 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.
