MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

 

“I consider it an honour to lead Bright Scholar, a premier education service company with abundant market opportunities due to its global presence and network. Additionally, our resilient business model, supported by a diversified portfolio of enterprises adds further strength to our position.” Bright Scholar’s recently appointed Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Robert Roulie Niu, said. “We kicked off fiscal year 2024 with a solid start, making significant strides in revitalizing our businesses. It is particularly evident in the ongoing recovery of our business and operations in UK, leading to notable bottom-line improvements despite the prolonged macroeconomic challenges across our industry. In the first fiscal quarter, we achieved a 7.6% increase in revenue, coupled with sustained improvements of 13.1% in gross profit, 14.8% in operating income, and 40.9% in net income compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year.”

 

“The recovery of Overseas School business remained the strongest, marked by a 28.4% increase in top line revenue during the first fiscal quarter. This segment continues to offer significant opportunities for scaling growth and bottom-line enhancement through increased operating leverage. Meanwhile, the Complementary Education Services segment sustained steady revenue growth, predominantly driven by the recovery of overseas study counselling business, which achieved a 12.8% revenue increase in the first fiscal quarter. Conversely, the Domestic Kindergartens & K-12 Operation Services segment continued its contraction, recording a 26.4% decrease in revenue, aligning with our internal expectations.”

 

 

 

 

“Our consistent advancement reflects the strength of our diversified business portfolio, underscored by significant progress in operational optimizations and cost efficiencies. These strategic changes and improvements play a central role in our ongoing transformation efforts, aimed at shaping a portfolio of businesses geared towards sustainable revenue growth, enhanced EBITDA and solid cashflow. In conclusion, we have made substantial headway in driving our strategic agenda forward, unwavering in our commitment to accelerate the restructuring of our business portfolio. Our focus remains on nurturing high-growth, high-return businesses while bolstering our financial standing through margin expansion, strengthening our balance sheet, and enhancing cash flows. Our overarching goal is to establish a position of strength, providing ample room to pursue scalable business expansion with sustainable profitability well into fiscal year 2025 and beyond. We firmly believe that this marks a pivotal step in driving forward-looking value creation for our stakeholders in the long term.” Mr. Niu concluded.

CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION

 

The Company’s reporting currency is Renminbi (“RMB”). However, periodic reports made to shareholders will include current period amounts translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet date, for the convenience of readers. Translations of balances in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows from RMB into U.S. dollars as of and for the quarter ended November 30, 2023 are solely for the convenience of the readers and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00=RMB 7.1360, representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on November 30, 2023. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on November 30, 2023 or at any other rate.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain non-GAAP measures, including primarily adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted gross profit/(loss), adjusted operating income/(loss), adjusted net earnings/(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders/ADS holders basic and diluted as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. 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. We define adjusted gross profit/(loss) as gross profit/(loss) excluding amortization of intangible assets. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) excluding interest income/(expense), net, income tax expense/benefit, and depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding amortization of intangible assets and tax effect of amortization of intangible assets. We define adjusted operating income/(loss) as operating income/(loss) excluding amortization of intangible assets. Additionally, we define adjusted net earnings/(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders/ADS holders, basic and diluted, as adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders/ADS holders (net income/(loss) to ordinary shareholders/ADS holders excluding amortization of intangible assets and tax effect of amortization of intangible assets) divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted ordinary shares or ADSs.

 

We incur amortization expense of intangible assets related to various acquisitions that have been made in recent years. These intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition. We believe that exclusion of these expenses allows greater comparability of operating results that are consistent over time for the Company’s newly-acquired and long-held business as the related intangibles do not have significant connection to the growth of the business. Therefore, we provide exclusion of amortization of intangible assets to define adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income/(loss), adjusted net income/(loss), and adjusted net earnings/(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders/ADS holders, basic and diluted.

 

 

 

 

We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Such non-GAAP measures include adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted gross profit/(loss), adjusted operating income/(loss), adjusted net earnings/(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders/ADS holders basic and diluted. Non-GAAP financial measures enable our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization and without considering the impact of non-operating items such as interest income/(expense), net; income tax expense/benefit; amortization of intangible assets and tax effect of amortization of intangible assets. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance.

 

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. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Interest income/(expense), net; income tax expense/benefit; depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; and tax effect of amortization of intangible assets, have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of these non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA or adjusted net income/(loss). Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
