Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2022

Net Revenues

Net revenues decreased by 45.6% to RMB606.2 million from RMB1,114.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the organizational adjustments and business restructuring  the Company performed to comply with government regulations, including the cessation of compulsory education academic subject tutoring services to students ("Business Restructuring").

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues decreased by 76.4% to RMB168.8 million from RMB715.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decline was mainly due to the reduction of employees and offices as a result of the Business Restructuring, which resulted in decreases in staff related cost, rental expenses, as well as teaching materials and bandwidth cost.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was RMB437.4 million, compared with RMB399.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. Gross profit margin increased to 72.2% from 35.9% in the same period of 2021.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by 65.8% to RMB506.9 million from RMB1,481.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily due to the reduction of employees as a result of the Business Restructuring, as well as the losses incurred during the impairment assessment of long-lived assets and disposal of assets the Company performed in the third quarter of 2021. Moreover, the expenditure on branding and marketing activities on academic subject tutoring services also showed a large decline as a result of the changes of regulatory environment.

• Selling expenses decreased to RMB336.8 million from RMB826.4 million in the third quarter of 2021.
• Research and development expenses decreased to RMB106.5 million from RMB336.3 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations was RMB69.6 million, compared with loss from operations of RMB1,081.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, which was primarily due to a large decrease in operation related cost and expenses as a result of the Business Restructuring, as well as no impairment loss or disposal loss on assets related to Business Restructuring incurred in the third quarter.

Non-GAAP loss from operations was RMB53.0 million, compared with non-GAAP loss from operations of RMB1,026.0 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS were both RMB0.17 in the third quarter of 2022.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses gross billings, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss), each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

The Company defines gross billings for a specific period as the total amount of cash received for the sale of course offerings in such period, net of the total amount of refunds in such period. The Company's management uses gross billings as a performance measurement because the Company generally bills its students for the entire course fee at the time of sale of its course offerings and recognizes revenue proportionally as the classes are delivered. For some courses, the Company continues to provide students with 12 months to 36 months access to the pre-recorded audio-video courses after the online live courses are delivered. The Company believes that gross billings provides valuable insight into the sales of its course packages and the performance of its business. As gross billings have material limitations as an analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) exclude share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment excludes the impact on income tax. The Company 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. The Company 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 the Company's historical performance. 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.

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.

The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
