Operating Highlights for the Second Fiscal Quarter Ended November 30, 2016

Total student enrollments in academic subjects tutoring and test preparation courses increased by 56.0% year-over-year to approximately 1,312,300 for the second fiscal quarter of 2017.
The total number of schools and learning centers was 789 as of November 30, 2016, an increase of 69 compared to 720 as of November 30, 2015, and an increase of 18 compared to 771 as of August 31, 2016. The total number of schools was 69 as of November 30, 2016.

Michael Minhong Yu, New Oriental's Executive Chairman, commented, "We are very pleased with our better than anticipated results for the second quarter. We are experiencing increased student satisfaction as we bring together the best learning experiences to help students achieve more, which in turn boosts retention rate and new student enrollment and also contributes to strengthening our brand reputation. This fueled a strong growth of the second quarter top line metrics -- a top line growth of 22.7% or 30.2% if considering in our functional currency Renminbi. This was driven largely by a combination of a broad product portfolio, solid market demand, and effective operation at the sales level. It is also encouraging to see a strong deferred revenue balance of US$764.7 million at the end of the second quarter, up approximately 30.4% year-over-year. The key driver of this was student enrollments which were up by 56% in the quarter. Our K-12 all-subjects after-school tutoring business continued its strong momentum, with revenue up approximately 45% and enrollment up approximately 78% year-over-year. Further, our U-Can middle and high school all-subjects after-school tutoring business grew approximately 43% and the POP Kids program achieved a growth of approximately 49% year-over-year."

Chenggang Zhou, New Oriental's Chief Executive Officer, added, "As part of the execution of our well-proven 'Optimize the Market' strategy, we made great progress across the board in building out our successful diversified business model during the second quarter. We added a net of 15 learning centers in existing cities, opened a new school and a new learning center in the city of Yantai, and piloted a dual-teacher model school in the city of Tai'an, aiming to bring our expertise to more remote areas in China. All together this added a total of approximately 30,000 square meters of classroom area, representing about 3% capacity expansion. On the other hand, we continued to roll out the well-proven O2O integrated education system, including the new POP Kids program and U-Can Visible Progress System in all existing cities. We also continued to test the new O2O system for overseas test preparation business, including IELTS, TOEFL and SAT programs, in seven large cities in China. In addition, our pure online education platform, Koolearn.com, recorded revenue growth of 33% year-over-year, with an 11% increase in registered users and a 33% increase in paid users."

Stephen Zhihui Yang, New Oriental's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Based on very strong top line performance coupled with strong execution and financial discipline, we recorded operating income of US$0.2 million for the quarter compared to a loss of US$10.4 million in the same period of last year. Operating margin increased 380 basis points based on a dramatic improvement in operational efficiency, improved utilization of facilities, and effective cost control within the organization. The strong bottom line performance further proved the effectiveness of our 'Optimize the Market' strategy and reinforced our confidence in the ability to build long-term value for our customers and shareholders."

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.
