Insights

The reported increase in QuantaSing's revenues and net income indicates a positive trend in the company's financial performance. The growth is attributed to the expansion and diversification of course offerings, particularly in skills upgrading courses. This suggests a successful strategic shift towards areas with higher demand, such as short-video production, which is a burgeoning market due to the rise of content creation as a career. The significant year-over-year growth in paying learners also shows effective user conversion strategies.

However, the decrease in revenues from financial literacy courses may point to market saturation or a strategic pivot away from this segment. It is essential to monitor this trend, as it could indicate a shift in consumer preferences or increased competition. The reduced expenses in sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative areas reflect an optimization of cost structures, which is crucial for maintaining profitability amid expansion.

QuantaSing's financial results, with a net income shift from a loss in the previous year to a profit, are indicative of a strong turnaround. This is particularly noteworthy in the context of the broader economic challenges faced by the online education sector in China, including regulatory scrutiny. The company's ability to increase its cash reserves, as shown by the growth in cash and cash equivalents, positions it well for future investments or to weather potential market downturns.

The introduction of new business initiatives, such as live e-commerce and AI and technology business, could represent diversification strategies to mitigate risks associated with the core online learning business. However, these ventures also introduce new risk factors and require careful scrutiny of their contribution to the company's overall financial health. The share repurchase program reflects management's confidence in the company's valuation and could be a positive signal to investors regarding the company's future prospects.

The performance of QuantaSing is reflective of broader economic trends, where digital services, particularly in education, continue to gain traction. The company's focus on adult learning and the expansion into e-commerce and AI technologies align with the increasing digitization of the economy and the demand for lifelong learning. The growth in registered users and paying learners implies a robust consumer base, which is essential for sustained revenue growth.

However, the Chinese online education market is highly competitive and subject to regulatory changes. It is important to consider the potential impact of such external factors on QuantaSing's long-term growth trajectory. The company's revenue forecast for the next quarter shows optimism, but it is based on current market conditions, which are volatile. Investors should consider the economic environment, including consumer spending patterns and regulatory policies, when evaluating QuantaSing's financial outlook.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of FY 2024

Revenues

Revenues increased by 24.7% year over year to RMB980.5 million (US$138.1 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024, primarily driven by the growth in revenues from skills upgrading courses, which primarily consist of courses aiming to improve the soft skills of individuals, such as short-video production course targets freelancers or amateurs who create video content and intend to improve their skillsets3.

  • Revenues from individual online learning services increased by 24.1% year over year to RMB873.6 million (US$123.0 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024, up from RMB704.0 million in the second quarter of FY 2023. This growth was primarily due to 1) skills upgrading courses3 increased to RMB456.4 million (US$64.3 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024 from RMB192.9 million in the second quarter of FY 2023, and 2) recreation and leisure courses3 increased to RMB96.1 million (US$13.5 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024 from RMB12.2 million in the second quarter of FY 2023, partially offset by the decrease of RMB177.9 million (US$25.1 million) in revenues from financial literacy courses.
  • Revenues from enterprise services were RMB57.6 million (US$8.1 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024, compared to RMB82.3 million in the second quarter of FY 2023, representing a year-over-year change of 30.0%, primarily due to a change in revenues from related party transactions.
  • Revenues from others increased to RMB49.3 million (US$7.0 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024 from RMB0.1 million in the second quarter of FY 2023, mainly driven by the increase in revenues from the Company's newest business endeavor, live e-commerce, which is aligned with its commitment to diversified revenue streams.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues was RMB145.0 million (US$20.4 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024, compared to RMB99.3 million in the second quarter of FY 2023, representing a change of 46.1%. The increase was primarily due to increased labor outsourcing costs of RMB26.1 million (US$3.7 million) and higher procurement costs of RMB23.7 million (US$3.3 million), and was partially offset by a RMB16.5 million (US$2.3 million) decrease in staff costs.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB657.1 million (US$92.6 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024, compared to RMB622.9 million in the second quarter of FY 2023, representing a change of 5.5%. The change was mainly due to an increase in labor outsourcing costs of RMB85.3 million (US$12.0 million) and marketing and promotion expenses of RMB64.5 million (US$9.1 million), partially offset by a decrease in staff costs of RMB120.5 million (US$17.0 million), which includes a decrease in share-based compensation expenses of RMB31.0 million (US$4.4 million). The decrease in share-based compensation was primarily driven by 1) the reversal of share-based compensation expenses resulting from employee turnover during the second quarter of FY 2024, and 2) less share-based compensation expenses recognized for the second quarter of FY 2024 in accordance with the corresponding accounting treatment.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses were RMB41.0 million (US$5.8 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024, compared to RMB64.3 million in the second quarter of FY 2023, representing a decrease of 36.2%. The decrease was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expenses of RMB19.0 million (US$2.7 million).

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were RMB35.1 million (US$4.9 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024, compared to RMB44.5 million in the second quarter of FY 2023, representing a decrease of 21.3%. The decrease was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expenses and office expenses, partially offset by an increase in professional service fees.

Net income and adjusted net income

Net income was RMB107.6 million (US$15.2 million) in the second quarter of FY 2024, compared with a net loss of RMB41.4 million in the second quarter of FY 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses gross billings of individual online learning services, adjusted net income/(loss) and basic and diluted adjusted net income/(loss) per share as its non-GAAP financial measures. Gross billings of individual online learning services for a specific period represents revenues of the Company’s individual online learning services net of the changes in deferred revenues in such period, further adjusted by value-added tax and certain cost deduction in such period. Adjusted net income/(loss) represents net (loss)/income excluding share-based compensation expense. Basic and diluted adjusted net income/(loss) per share represents adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of QuantaSing Group Limited divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods used in computing adjusted net income/(loss) per share, basic and diluted. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company's results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for revenue, net (loss)/income, net (loss)/income per share, basic and diluted or other consolidated statements of operations data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's definition of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of industry peers and may not be comparable with their non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “QuantaSing Group Limited Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” near the end of this release.
