According to the new enrollment schedule adopted in November 2018, the spring semester is divided into two sessions, where student enrollments are recorded separately for each session.

"We continued to make strategic adjustments with the goal of optimizing operations and broadening educational offerings," said Mr. Peiqing Tian, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Four Seasons Education. "We were able to further improve the diversification of offerings in spite of the seasonality impact we experienced in this quarter due to Chinese New Year and winter break. As a result, revenue contribution from non-math courses and middle school programs steadily ratcheted up. We continued to enhance the geographic diversification of our revenue as our learning centers outside of Shanghai are contributing an increasing percentage to our revenue. Moreover, we established online presence by providing online courses and educational content that were diligently selected. Students are now able to participate in Four Seasons Education's featured online courses including certain Ivy program as well as other interest-based classes such as Rubik's Cube.

"With respect to our learning center network, we have been in the process of optimization as we planned. To optimize our network layout and resource allocation, we relocated or combined certain learning centers with small gross floor areas into large centers at new locations with upgraded facilities. As of February 28, 2019, we had 52 learning centers including 44 in Shanghai and eight in other cities.

"We achieved notable progress in developing and promoting other initiatives and activities designed to improve logical reasoning and foundational math skills. Four Seasons' competitive Sudoku and Bridge teams achieved outstanding performance in competitions during the quarter, which promoted the games' popularity as an interest-oriented competitive learning method across China. In addition, we have finished the majority of the course development work for our math lab program. Our self-test system has also been upgraded with an enriched question library and well-tagged categorization. Based on the increasingly comprehensive dataset, our evaluation system will be able to automatically generate bespoke sets of test questions, helping students develop a comprehensive understanding of certain areas of knowledge according to the individual's scholastic aptitude. Overall, we finished the fiscal year 2019 with many achievements despite changes in regulatory requirements in the fast-evolving education industry and relatively weak performance of new learning centers during the ramp-up period. We believe we are in the right trajectory to grow our business as we provide math and many other core subject classes to students at different grade levels," Mr. Tian concluded.

Ms. Yi (Joanne) Zuo, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Four Seasons Education, commented, "we are pleased to conclude fiscal 2019 with full-year revenue growth of 11.7% year over year and adjusted net income of RMB35.6 million for the year. The fiscal year 2019 was a year of transformation for the Company. Anchored by our strong capabilities in math education serving as our foundation and a core strength, we have been broadening course offerings, which cover more subjects across wider age groups. We also expanded and improved our learning center network which optimized utilization of our resources in the fiscal year 2019. We are confident in our strategy that has been set forth and are encouraged by the development of our business. We remain committed to nurturing students' interests in learning with enriched educational content, while seeking quality growth and enhanced efficiency."

Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 Financial Results

Revenue decreased by 3.7% to RMB64.7 million (US$9.7 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 from RMB67.2 million in the same period of last year, primarily due to the decreased revenue contribution from competition-related programs as a result of changing regulatory requirement.

Cost of revenue increased by 55.9% to RMB46.0 million (US$6.9 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 from RMB29.5 million in the same period of last year, primarily attributable to costs associated with the increase in faculty staff cost and learning centers' rental, utilities and maintenance and depreciation costs, as a result of increased number of learning centers.

Gross profit decreased by 50.3% to RMB18.7 million (US$2.8 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 from RMB37.7 million in the same period of last year. Gross margin was 28.9% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, compared with 56.1% in the same period of last year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the expansion of new centers which yield relatively lower gross margin during the ramp-up period, and the increase in faculty staff cost.

General and administrative expenses increased by 63.0% to RMB39.8 million (US$5.9 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 from RMB24.4 million in the same period of last year, primarily attributable to increased staff cost of RMB4.8 million (US$0.7 million), an RMB1.8 million (US$0.3 million) increase in depreciation and amortization cost and increased share-based compensation expenses of RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million).

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 21.1% to RMB9.1 million (US$1.4 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 from RMB11.5 million in the same period of last year.

Operating loss was RMB30.1 million (US$4.5 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, compared with operating income of RMB1.8 million in the same period of last year. Adjusted operating loss, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB21.0 million (US$3.1 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, compared with adjusted operating income of RMB8.1 million in the same period of last year.

Interest income decreased by 58.1% to RMB0.9 million (US$0.1 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 from RMB2.1 million in the same period of last year, primarily due to the withdrawal of short-term deposit.

Other income, net was RMB2.7 million (US$0.4 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, compared with other expenses of RMB0.6 million in the same period of last year, primarily due to fair value change of a 2-year Pimco fund-linked note and a 1-year certificate on a mutual fund, both with 100% minimum redemption level at maturity that the Company intends to hold to maturity.

Income tax benefit was RMB8.1 million (US$1.2 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, compared with income tax expense of RMB0.7 million in the same period of last year. Income tax benefit for the quarter was primarily due to an RMB4.7 million (US$0.7 million) reversal of accrued income tax as the Company's Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise ("WOFE") is able to enjoy a preferential tax treatment since it was recognized as a "software enterprise" by relevant PRC government agencies. Another RMB3.6 million (US$0.5 million) of income tax benefit was derived from the positive change from previous uncertain tax position.

Net loss was RMB18.5 million (US$2.8 million) during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, compared with net income of RMB2.7 million in the same period of last year. Adjusted net loss, which excludes share-based compensation expenses and fair value change of investments measured at fair value, was RMB12.2 million (US$1.8 million), compared with adjusted net income of RMB9.0 million in the same period of last year.

Basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 was both RMB0.36 (US$0.05), compared with basic and diluted net income per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB0.09 and RMB0.08, respectively, for the same period of last year. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 was both RMB0.23 (US$0.03), compared with non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB0.22 and RMB0.20, respectively, for the same period of last year.

Cash and cash equivalents. As of February 28, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB471.2 million (US$70.4 million), a decrease of 19.2% compared with RMB583.3 million as of February 28, 2018, primarily due to an RMB144.1 million (US$20.0 million) cash payments for the acquisitions, and the increase in short-term investment of RMB32.7 million (US$4.9 million). The decrease was partially offset by the operating cash inflow generated in the fiscal 2019.

Shares Outstanding

As of May 6, 2019, the Company had a total of 24,966,591 ordinary shares outstanding. Each two ADSs represent one ordinary share.

Revenue increased by 11.7% to RMB335.6 million (US$50.2 million) for the fiscal year 2019 from RMB300.5 million in the fiscal year 2018, primarily due to the increase in enrollment as a result of the expanded course offerings with higher diversification, and the expansion of the Company's physical learning center network, including learning centers the Company acquired in the fiscal year 2019. This increase was partially offset by the decreased revenue contribution from math-competition focused classes as a result of changing regulatory requirement.

Cost of revenue increased by 57.0% to RMB171.8 million (US$25.7 million) for the fiscal year 2019 from RMB109.4 million in the fiscal year 2018, primarily attributable to costs associated with the increase in faculty staff cost as well as learning centers' rental, utilities and maintenance and depreciation costs, as a result of increased number of learning centers.

The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the expansion of new centers which yield relatively lower gross margin during the ramp-up period, and the increase in faculty staff cost.

General and administrative expenses increased by 38.7% to RMB128.9 million (US$19.3 million) for the fiscal year 2019 from RMB92.9 million in the fiscal year 2018, primarily attributable to increased staff cost of RMB17.5 million (US$2.6 million), increased share-based compensation expenses of RMB8.7 million (US$1.3 million) and an increase of RMB4.1 million (US$0.6 million) in depreciation and amortization cost.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 7.6% to RMB33.8 million (US$5.0 million) for the fiscal year 2019 from RMB36.6 million in the fiscal year 2018.

Operating income was RMB1.1 million (US$0.2 million) for the fiscal year 2019, compared with RMB61.6 million in the fiscal year 2018.

Interest income increased by 21.8% to RMB6.8 million (US$1.0 million) for the fiscal year 2019 from RMB5.5 million in the fiscal year 2018.

Other expense, net reached RMB3.3 million (US$0.5 million) for the fiscal year 2019 from RMB1.3 million in the fiscal year 2018, primarily due to fair value change of a 2-year Pimco fund-linked note and a 1-year certificate on a mutual fund, both with 100% minimum redemption level at maturity that the Company intends to hold to maturity.

Income tax expenses decreased by 61.7% to RMB10.1 million (US$1.5 million) for the fiscal year 2019 from RMB26.4 million in the fiscal year 2018, partially due to the income tax benefit for the fourth quarter as the Company's Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise ("WOFE") is able to enjoy a preferential tax treatment since it was recognized as a "software enterprise" by relevant PRC government agencies. Another RMB3.6 million (US$0.5 million) of income tax benefit was derived from the positive change from previous uncertain tax position.

Net loss was RMB1.5 million (US$0.2 million) during the fiscal year 2019, compared with net income of RMB41.8 million in the fiscal year 2018. Adjusted net income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses and fair value change of investments measured at fair value, was RMB35.6 million (US$5.3 million), compared with RMB65.3 million in the fiscal year 2018. Adjusted net margin was 10.6%, compared with 21.7% in the fiscal year 2018.

The Company plans to fund the repurchase program out of its available working capital, existing cash balance or future cash provided by operating activities.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the Company's business, the Company considers and use certain non-GAAP measures, including primarily adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted margin and adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company's operating performance. To present each of these non-GAAP measures, the Company excludes (i) share-based compensation expenses, and (ii) fair value change of investments measured at fair value. 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 U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses and fair value change of investments measured at fair value that may not be indicative of the Company's 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 and liquidity. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in the Company's financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges and fair value change of investments measured at fair value that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the Company's business. The Company 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.
