Operating Highlights for the Third Fiscal Quarter Ended February 29, 2016

Total student enrollments in academic subjects tutoring and test preparation courses increased by 25.2% year-over-year to approximately 755,100 for the third fiscal quarter of 2016.
The total number of schools and learning centers was 727 as of February 29, 2016, an increase of 5 compared to 722 as of February 28, 2015, and an increase of 7 compared to 720 as of November 30, 2015. The total number of schools was 64 as of February 29, 2016.

Michael Yu, New Oriental's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "For the third fiscal quarter, we continued to make solid progress on all fronts given improved product mix, positive market dynamics and increased efficiency in operations. On the revenue side, we had a top-line growth of 20.6%, which exceeded the high end of our expected range. The growth was attributable to the ongoing increases in our total enrollments. Our K-12 all-subjects after-school tutoring business performed well this quarter, with gross revenue up 35% year over year and enrollment up 31% year over year. In particular, our U-Can middle and high school all-subjects after-school tutoring business grew approximately 33% year over year, and the revamped POP Kids program delivered a year-over-year revenue increase of 40%, representing a record high since its launch in 2014. With an ever-increasing market demand for our O2O Two-Way Integrated Education System, we have been able to attract an increasing number of new customers for our K-12 business. More importantly, this new offering has proven to be well received by our existing customers, which in turn noticeably improved our retention rate. We are confident that this will translate into consistent and healthy revenue growth for our business over the long term."

Mr. Yu continued, "As part of our strategy to optimize the market via profitable growth, we opened a new school in the city of Zhuhai, a fast growing Special Economic Zone in southern China. In addition, we added a net of 6 learning centers and expanded certain existing ones, adding a total of approximately 10,000 square meters of classroom area. For the remainder of the fiscal year, we will continue to expand our operations in the cities that have been showing rapid growth and strong profitability and will also continue to look for positive opportunities in unpenetrated cities. Encouraged by the exciting results of the O2O system for our K-12 business, we continued to expand our investment in online and offline integrated education to other key business lines. Most recently, we officially launched the IELTS interactive education system, the O2O solution for our overseas test preparation business, in three large cities in China. Furthermore, our pure online education platform, Koolearn.com, recorded revenue growth of 25% year over year in the third quarter, with a doubling of registered users and a 70% increase in paid users."

Stephen Zhihui Yang, New Oriental's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our consistently strong performance is supported by constantly improving operational efficiency and stringent cost control. During the third quarter, operating income increased by 32.6% year over year to approximately US$42.3 million and operating margin increased by 110 basis points to 12.2% from 11.1% a year ago. We will continue to manage our business with a passion for driving efficiency and bringing value to our customers. We are confident that this over time will ensure sustainable long-term growth of our business."

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, operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses, operating costs 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. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation 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 tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release.

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 that both management and investors benefit from referring to 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 New Oriental's historical performance and liquidity. New Oriental computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. 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.

Note 1: In November, 2015, the FASB issued a new pronouncement which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations' balance sheets. The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Group elected to early adopt this new guidance on a prospective basis and have applied the changes to all deferred tax liabilities and assets and to the consolidated balance sheet as of February 29, 2016. The Group did not retrospectively apply the changes to prior periods.
