The number of learning centers increased by 23 in the quarter to 166 as of May 31, 2008, up from 143 as of February 29, 2008. |
“We are pleased to finish our 2008 fiscal year on a strong note with substantial fourth fiscal quarter revenue and profit growth,” said Michael Yu, New Oriental’s chairman and chief executive officer. “During the quarter, we continued to grow our ‘New Oriental U Can’ all-subjects middle and high school training program after its initial launch in last fiscal quarter. We have rolled out U-Can programs in more than 20 cities throughout China with enrollments of more than 7,000 in non-English subject classes in the fourth fiscal quarter, despite an enrollment slowdown in May following the Sichuan earthquake. We are confident that U-Can, along with English language training and overseas test preparation, will drive New Oriental’s growth in the years ahead.”
“We also successfully executed on our expansion plan in the fourth fiscal quarter by opening a total of three new schools in the cities of Lanzhou, Huangshi and Ningbo. To further capture the strong demand for our programs and services in existing markets, we also added a net 23 new learning centers during the quarter. Including these new schools and learning centers, we added a total of 77 facilities in fiscal year 2008, consisting of 6 schools and 71 learning centers,” Mr. Yu added.
New Oriental’s chief financial officer, Louis T. Hsieh, stated:
We are pleased to report record financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and full 2008 fiscal year. Our fourth fiscal quarter net revenues were up 62.5% year-over-year to US$40.2 million, and non-GAAP net income was up over 500% from the year ago period to US$4.5 million. For the 2008 fiscal year, we increased net revenues 51.6% year-over-year to over US$201.0 million, and non-GAAP net income increased 73.7% year-over-year to US$57.8 million. Despite opening a record 77 schools

and learning centers in fiscal year 2008, we continued to demonstrate the leveragability of our business model with strong margin improvements: (i) gross margins increased to 61.6% for FY2008, from 59.5% for FY2007, (ii) non-GAAP operating margins increased to 26.9% for FY2008, from 23.2% for FY2007, and (iii) non-GAAP net income margins increased to 28.7% for FY2008, from 25.1% for FY2007.
Our strong student enrollment growth in language training and test preparation courses continued in fiscal year 2008 with over 1,271,000 enrollments, an increase of over 200,000 enrollments, or 19.1%, from fiscal year 2007. We achieved record student enrollments for the fiscal year despite a 2.8% decrease to 305,200 student enrollments for the fourth fiscal quarter due to (i) the slowdown in May following the Sichuan earthquake; (ii) the slowdown in our Beijing School due to uncertainties surrounding housing, transportation and travel logistics for the summer of 2008 as Beijing prepares to host the Olympic Games; and (iii) the difficult year-over-year comparison with the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 when student enrollments were up 31.5% to over 314,000 from the previous year. A portion of last year’s fourth fiscal quarter enrollments would normally have been recorded in the third fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2007, but were instead pushed into the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 due to the late timing of the Chinese New Year holiday in 2007 (on February 18, 2007), which was two to three weeks later than normal.
In response to numerous inquiries from investors and research analysts, in early June 2008 New Oriental issued a press release discussing the potential impact to the company’s business as a result of the Sichuan earthquake and the Olympic Games. In that press release the Company stated it was hopeful of a June rebound in student enrollments and revenues. New Oriental is pleased to report that we did indeed witness a strong recovery in student enrollments and revenues in June and the first two weeks of July 2008 ended July 13. “Cash Proceeds” (tuition fees paid by students in cash when they register for classes and recognized proportionately as revenue as the instructions are delivered) for the past six weeks ended July 13, 2008 were approximately US$60 million, an increase of approximately 50% from approximately US$40 million in the corresponding period of 2007. The Beijing School has also rebounded in the same six week period with Cash Proceeds up approximately 47% to US$14.6 million. New Oriental’s school in Chengdu, closest to the Sichuan earthquake epicenter, is fully operational with 6 learning centers and has also recovered in the same six week period with Cash Proceeds up approximately 32% to US$1.4 million as compared to the year ago period.

Recent Developments
On June 24, 2008, New Oriental and Intuto Ltd., a New Zealand-based e-learning solutions provider, formed a strategic partnership to co-develop and update custom learning materials tailored to New Oriental’s existing IELTS courses. International English Language Testing System, or IELTS, is used throughout the world to assess the language ability of second language speakers planning to live, work, or study in English speaking countries. Under the agreement, Intuto will work with New Oriental’s instructors to develop a line of English language learning materials, including textbooks, to address the four skills in the IELTS exam: reading, writing, speaking, and listening of the English language. Furthermore, New Oriental has the rights under this contract to develop its own IELTS courses and exercises via New Oriental’s Koolearn.com online learning platform based on this in-classroom material.
Financial Results for the Fiscal Quarter Ended May 31, 2008
For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008, New Oriental reported net revenues of US$40.2 million, representing a 62.5% increase year-over-year.

Total operating costs and expenses for the quarter were US$40.4 million, a 43.2% increase year-over-year; excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), operating costs and expenses for the quarter were US$37.6 million, a 45.2% increase year-over-year.
Cost of revenues for the quarter were US$17.7 million, a 50.9% increase year-over-year, primarily due to the increased number of courses offered and the greater number of schools and learning centers in operation.
Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter were US$7.5 million, a 49.9% increase year-over-year, primarily due to the headcount for the selling and marketing department, which includes registration verification personnel, increasing by 330 over the year ago period as the company added 77 new schools and learning centers in fiscal year 2008.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter were US$15.2 million, a 32.5% increase year-over-year; excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), general and administrative expenses for the quarter were US$12.7 million, a 33.7% increase year-over-year, primarily due to increased headcount as the company further expanded its operations.
Total share-based compensation expenses, which were allocated to related operating costs and expenses, increased to US$2.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 from US$2.3 million in the year ago period.
Loss from operations for the quarter was US$0.2 million, a 94.0% decrease from US$3.5 million in the year ago period, and income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the quarter was US$2.5 million, compared to a loss of US$1.2 million in the year ago period.

Operating margin for the quarter was negative 0.5%, compared to negative 14.1% in the corresponding period of the previous year. Excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), operating margin for the quarter was 6.3%, compared to negative 4.9% in the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the improved operating efficiency as revenue growth outpaced the growth in operating costs and expenses.
Net income for the quarter was US$1.8 million, compared to a net loss of US$1.5 million. Basic and diluted earnings per ADS were US$0.05 and US$0.05, respectively.

Net operating cash flow for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 was US$23.9 million. The decrease in the cash balance was due to the Company’s share buyback plan of one million ADS which was announced on February 14, 2008. The Company has now completed the one million ADS buyback program.
The deferred revenue balance (cash collected from registered students for courses and recognized proportionately as revenue as the instructions are delivered) at the end of the quarter was US$59.2 million, an increase of 37.0% as compared to US$43.2 million at the end of the fourth fiscal quarter 2007.

Outlook for the First Fiscal Quarter of 2009
New Oriental expects its total net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 (June 1, 2008 to August 31, 2008) to be in the range of US$103.8 million to US$109.5 million, representing year-over-year growth in the range of 28% to 35%, respectively. This preliminary forecast could be negatively impacted by the Olympic Games which will take place August 8 to 24 during the middle of New Oriental’s August term, due to potential travel and transportation logistics arrangements in Beijing and potential distractions as the nation and the World enjoy the Olympic Games. This forecast reflects New Oriental’s current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

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, income from operations 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 earnings per ADS 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 table 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 expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. New Oriental 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 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 non-GAAP net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and basic and diluted earnings per share and per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses is that these non-GAAP measures 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.
