    MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY 

    Mr. Robert Niu, Chief Executive Officer of Bright Scholar, commented, "Our resilient business continues to recover and thrive. We delivered solid quarterly results amid an uncertain and evolving external environment through solid strategic execution and dedicated initiatives to fuel our global business. During the quarter, our core Overseas Schools business maintained its double-digit year-over-year revenue growth trajectory, and student enrollment grew by 8% compared to the same quarter last fiscal year. Year to date, over 900 students have accepted offers for our September intake. In addition, we are utilizing our facilities and teaching resources more effectively, increasing the utilization rate of our overseas schools to 62% during the quarter. As a global premier education service company, we are committed to enhancing teaching quality and fostering an enriched learning experience for our students. Aligned with our strategy to focus our resources on our high-growth core business while optimizing organizational structure to improve our operational and management efficiency, we divested our non-core international contest training business and career counseling business from our Complementary Education Services segment in May and June. Building on our well-established brand and abundant educational resources, we are well-positioned to expand our high-return businesses and are gearing up to seize the tremendous growth opportunities ahead."

    Ms. Cindy Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of Bright Scholar, added, "We achieved healthy financial results in the third fiscal quarter. Led by our Overseas Schools business, our total revenues grew by 6% quarter over quarter on an expanding gross margin of 36.6%, up 370 basis points year-over-year and 560 basis points quarter over quarter. Driven by increases in both the number of students enrolled and the average tuition fees of overseas schools, our Overseas Schools revenue grew by 19.4% year-over-year. We also strengthened our cash position, closing the quarter with a total of RMB537.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Our healthy balance sheet supports our organic growth initiatives as we work to create sustainable value for our customers and shareholders over the long term."

    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 May 31, 2024 are solely for the convenience of the readers and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00=RMB7.2410, representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on May 31, 2024. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on May 31, 2024, 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, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses and impairment loss on goodwill. 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 impairment loss on goodwill. We define adjusted operating income/(loss) as operating income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and impairment loss on goodwill. 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 impairment loss on goodwill) 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 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 impairment loss on goodwill. 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, and impairment loss on goodwill 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.
