Operating Highlights for the Fourth Fiscal Quarter Ended May 31, 2022

The total number of schools and learning centers was 744 as of May 31, 2022, a decrease of 103 and 925 compared to 847 as of February 28, 2022 and 1,669 as of May 31, 2021, respectively. The total number of schools was 107 as of May 31, 2022.

Michael Yu, New Oriental’s Executive Chairman, commented, “Fiscal year 2022 has been a year full of challenges and opportunities. We restructured our core businesses and operations to comply with the government policies in China and stepped onto a new stage. Our remaining key businesses are seeing a stable trend that lays a solid foundation for our future development. In this fiscal year, the overseas test preparation and overseas study consulting businesses increased by 6% and 16% year over year, respectively. Our domestic test preparation business targeting adults and university students witnessed a record rapid growth of approximately 30% year over year. At the same time, various new businesses that we embarked on earlier this year achieved promising results.

The non-academic tutoring business was rolled out in over 50 cities, same as the intelligent learning system and devices that were adopted and tested in around 60 cities. Both have achieved positive customer feedback and improved customer retention. Other businesses, including study tour and research camp, educational materials and digitalized smart study solutions, as well as exam preparation courses designed for students with junior college diplomas to obtain bachelor’s degrees, are making remarkable progress. We are confident that by leveraging our brand recognition and educational resources accumulated over our operating history, these new businesses will start to generate notable revenue from the next fiscal year.”

Chenggang Zhou, New Oriental’s Chief Executive Officer, added, “By the end of this fiscal year, the total number of schools and learning centers was reduced to 744. As we focus more on business opportunities in the major markets of higher-tier cities, we are committed to leveraging our well-developed educational infrastructure, human resources, and state-of-the-art technology across our remaining key businesses. We are also actively looking into new initiatives to provide high-quality and diversified educational services for our customers of all ages. Our online-merge-offline teaching system helped us to maintain a high teaching quality to our customers amid the pandemic – especially in major cities such as Shanghai and Beijing. Koolearn.com, our online education platform, continues to expand its online educational offerings to adults and university students, and actively seeks business opportunities in new areas. In this fiscal year, Koolearn established an e-commerce platform under the brand name DONG FANG ZHEN XUAN(东方甄选) for the sale of agricultural and other products. Koolearn also began to pilot livestreaming events on some famous short-video social platforms such as Douyin. DONG FANG ZHEN XUAN has made notable progress and received wide recognitions from tens of millions of subscribers and members alike.”

Stephen Zhihui Yang, New Oriental’s Executive President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We maintained a strong cash position throughout the whole restructuring process. By the end of this fiscal year, our cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and short-term investments totaled approximately US$4.2 billion. The additional costs and expenses due to the termination of lease agreements in relation to the closure of our learning centers and employee layoffs were largely absorbed in fiscal year 2022. The Company’s management team will continue to make great efforts to resume overall profitability of the Company as early as possible and proactively seek profitable growth. Our continued commitment to high quality services and operational efficiency will deliver more value to our customers, society and shareholders over the long term.”

Adoption of Share Repurchase Program

On July 26, 2022, New Oriental’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to US$400 million of the Company’s common shares during the period from July 28, 2022 through May 31, 2023.

This share repurchase program authorizes the Company to purchase its ADSs or common shares from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades or through other legally permissible ways in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The timing and extent of any purchases will depend upon market conditions, the trading price of ADSs and its common shares, as well as other factors.

New Oriental’s board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically and may authorize adjustment to its terms and size accordingly. New Oriental plans to fund any share repurchases made under this program from the Company’s available cash balance.

Financial Results for the Fourth Fiscal Quarter Ended May 31, 2022

Net Revenues

For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, New Oriental reported net revenues of US$524.0 million, representing a 56.8% decrease year over year. The decline was mainly due to the cessation of K-9 academic after-school tutoring services in compliance with the government policies in China.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses for the quarter were US$629.7 million, representing a 52.1% decrease year over year. Non-GAAP operating costs and expenses for the quarter, which exclude share-based compensation expenses, were US$600.9 million, representing a 53.6% decrease year over year. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction of facilities and number of staff as a result of the restructuring in fiscal year 2022.

Total share-based compensation expenses, which were allocated to related operating costs and expenses, increased by 42.9% to US$28.8 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022. The increase is due to the grants of restricted share units of the Company to employees and directors in May 2021 with graded vesting over three years.

New Oriental’s deferred revenue balance, which is cash collected from registered students for courses and recognized proportionally as revenue as the instructions are delivered, at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 was US$933.1 million, a decrease of 51.6% as compared to US$1,926.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. The decrease is primarily due to the cessation of K-9 academic after-school tutoring services in compliance with the government policies in China.

For the fiscal year 2022 ended May 31, 2022, New Oriental reported net revenues of US$3,105.2 million, representing a 27.4% decrease year over year.

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 and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments, operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses, operating cost 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 and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments. 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 and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments 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 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 and gain / (loss) from fair value change of long-term investments 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.
