    MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

    Mr. Robert Niu, Chief Executive Officer of Bright Scholar, commented, "During the second fiscal quarter, we achieved steady progress in executing our "dual-engine" strategy by advancing both global expansion and student recruitment. These efforts have strengthened the resilience of our Schools business amidst external headwinds while creating a foundation for continued success. Operationally, we maintained stable total enrollment year-over-year at 2,669 students as of March 31, 2025. Notably, we also  achieved a strong 14.2% year-over-year improvement in revenue per enrollment at our U.S. schools this quarter, a testament to our premium positioning and operational effectiveness. Meanwhile, our global recruitment efforts continued to gain momentum across key markets, enhancing our pipeline for future growth. As a leading provider of premier international education services, we remain committed to delivering exceptional learning experiences, optimizing operational efficiency, and scaling our global footprint to create enduring value for all stakeholders."

    Ms. Cindy Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of Bright Scholar, added, "We are pleased to report healthy financial results in the second fiscal quarter, reflecting improved operating efficiency and profitability. Our total revenue remained relatively stable year-over-year at GBP43.8 million. Revenues from our Overseas Study Counselling business increased by 6.2% year-over-year to GBP11.9 million. We continue to manage our costs prudently, balancing our growth initiatives with the impact of the macroeconomic environment. Our SG&A expenses decreased by 13.7% year-over-year in absolute amount, while as a percentage of revenue decreasing by 1.2 percentage points to 25.5%. Notably, our net income from continuing operations increased by over 200% year-over-year. In the second half of the fiscal year, we will continue to execute our long-term strategy to balance healthy and sustainable growth while improving profitability."

    CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION

    The Company's reporting currency is GBP. 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, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows from GBP into U.S. dollars as of and for the quarter ended February 28, 2025, are solely for the readers' convenience and were calculated at the rate of GBP1.00=US$1.2591, representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on February 28, 2025. No representation is made that the GBP amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on February 28, 2025, 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) from continuing operations, adjusted operating income/(loss) from continuing operations, 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) from continuing operations as gross profit/(loss) from continuing operations excluding amortization of intangible assets. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) excluding interest income/(expense), net, income tax expense/(benefit), depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, and income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. We define adjusted net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, tax effect of amortization of intangible assets, and income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. We define adjusted operating income/(loss) from continuing operations as operating income/(loss) from continuing operations, excluding share-based compensation expenses and 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 share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, tax effect of amortization of intangible assets, and income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax) 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 a significant connection to the growth of the business. Therefore, we provide exclusion of amortization of intangible assets to define adjusted gross profit from continuing operations, adjusted operating income/(loss) from continuing operations, adjusted net income/(loss), and adjusted net earnings/(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders/ADS holders, basic and diluted. In addition, the strategic move to dispose of the non-core businesses is viewed as discontinued operations, which is a non-recurring item. The exclusion facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Therefore, we provide exclusion of income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, to define adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted EBITDA, 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) from continuing operations, adjusted operating income/(loss) from continuing operations, 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 share-based compensation expenses, and without considering the impact of non-operating items such as interest income/(expense), net; income tax expense/benefit; share-based compensation expenses; amortization of intangible assets, tax effect of amortization of intangible assets, and without considering the impact of non-recurring item, i.e. income/(loss) from discontinued operations. 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; 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.
