"The changing dynamics in the fourth quarter of 2022 and January of 2023 and the uncertain business environment during the period temporarily affected our regular operations. We had to close some of our offline centers for almost two months as a good portion of our students, instructors, employees, and their families weathered the pandemic. Facing challenges during the period, particularly with respect to customer acquisition, course delivery, and services at our offline centers, we navigated through our robust online delivery system and continued focusing on cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. As a result, we realized an operating cash inflow of RMB24.0 million for the quarter," remarked Ms. Ying Sun, the Chief Executive Officer of Tarena.

Ms. Sun continued, "After the Chinese New Year holiday, as the country recovered from the impact, we also fully emerged, with all our offline centers resuming normal classes and operations in February. In addition, the gradual recovery of the macro environment has brought increased enthusiasm for students to enroll, which we believe will partially offset the impact of these exceptional circumstances on the financial performance of fiscal year of 2023."

"Looking ahead, we will continue to optimize our integrated online and offline product delivery and service system and promote the improvement of course and service quality, aiming to provide increased value and optimized experiences for our students. We will also drive new enrollment and renewal of existing students via strengthening word-of-mouth to achieve efficient customer acquisition at a lower cost. We are optimistic about the rebound in enrollment and future growth. At the same time, we will remain laser focused on enhancing operating efficiency, and strive for continued improvement in our profitability in 2023," concluded Ms. Ying Sun.

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2022

Net Revenues

Total net revenues decreased by 15.7% to RMB552.4 million (US$80.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB655.3 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in student enrollment in our IT professional education, and was partially offset by an increase in IT-focused supplementary STEAM education revenues.

Cost of Revenues

The cost of revenues decreased by 29.8% to RMB230.1 million (US$33.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, from RMB327.7 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to decreased rental and personnel-related costs resulting from the closing of some of our teaching centers.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit decreased by 1.6% to RMB322.4 million (US$46.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, from RMB327.6 million in the same period of 2021. Gross margin expanded to 58.4% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 50.0% in the same period of 2021, as we continued to improve operational efficiency.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased by 15.7% to RMB326.9 million (US$47.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, from RMB388.0 million in the same period of 2021. Total non-GAAP operating expenses, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, decreased by 16.0% to RMB322.4 million (US$46.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, from RMB383.6 million in the same period of 2021. Total share-based compensation expenses allocated to related operating expenses were RMB4.6 million (US$0.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to RMB4.4 million in the same period of 2021.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 34.5% to RMB145.3 million (US$21.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, from RMB221.8 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the drop in the number of sales staff and a decrease in advertising spending as the Company continued to optimize marketing spending in the fourth quarter of 2022.

General and administrative expenses increased by 15.9% to RMB153.6 million (US$22.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, from RMB132.5 million in the same period of 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to the lower general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 resulting from the receipt of a settlement payment from the buyer group in connection with the termination of a proposed privatization transaction. Personnel-related expenses and rental expenses decreased in the fourth quarter of 2022 because the number of administration staff decreased and we obtained some rental relief as we closed some low performing centers.

Research and development expenses decreased by 16.6% to RMB28.1 million (US$4.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, from RMB33.7 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in personnel-related expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net Revenues

Total net revenues increased by 3.4% to RMB2,468.1 million (US$357.8 million) in 2022, from RMB2,386.5 million in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher student enrollment in our IT-focused supplementary STEAM education, and was partially offset by a decrease in IT professional education revenues.

Cost of Revenues

The cost of revenues decreased by 12.1% to RMB1,056.0 million (US$153.1 million) in 2022, from RMB1,201.4 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in rental costs, depreciation costs, and personnel-related costs resulting from the closing of some of our teaching centers.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 26.8% to RMB642.9 million (US$93.2 million) in 2022, from RMB878.1 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to a drop in the number of sales staff and a decrease in advertising spending as the Company continued to control marketing spending in 2022.

General and administrative expenses increased by 6.0% to RMB604.0 million (US$87.6 million) in 2022, from RMB570.0 million in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the lower general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 resulting from the receipt of a settlement payment from the buyer group in connection with the termination of a proposed privatization transaction, as well as a provision of a shareholder litigation in 2022. Rental expenses decreased as we closed some low performing centers and obtained some rental relief. Office expenses decreased as the Company focused on improving operational efficiency.

Research and development expenses decreased by 32.1% to RMB72.0 million (US$10.4 million) in 2022, from RMB106.1 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in personnel-related costs in 2022.

The audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 to be disclosed in the Company's Form 20-F may have discrepancies with the above-mentioned unaudited financial statements.

Business Outlook

As classes and non-essential operations were suspended for the month of January and after taking into consideration the lingering impact from the fourth quarter of 2022, based on the Company's current estimates, total net revenues for the first quarter of 2023 are expected to be in the range of RMB365 million to RMB380 million, representing a decrease of 39.1% to 41.5% compared to net revenues in the same period of 2022. Since February 2023, we have resumed normal classes and business operations and we expect a better financial performance for the remainder of fiscal 2023.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Tarena's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Tarena's management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income, net income, and basic and diluted net income per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the share-based compensation expenses. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

Tarena's management believes that excluding the share-based compensation expenses provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items identified as non-recurring and infrequent in nature, and non-cash charges. The amount of share-based compensation expenses is not built into the Company's annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which generally will be the basis for information Tarena provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of Tarena's current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income (loss) and net income (loss), excluding the share-based compensation expenses is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a recurring expense in the Company's business for the foreseeable future. In order to mitigate the limitation, the Company has provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables include details on the reconciliation between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has presented.

Notes:

(a) There was no tax impact of share-based compensation expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(b) The Non-GAAP net income/(loss) per ADS is computed using Non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders and the same number of ordinary shares are used in GAAP basic and diluted net income/(loss) per ADS calculation.

(c) Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares. The weighted average number of ADS and earnings per ADS have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the ADS ratio change from one ADS representing one Class A ordinary share to one ADS representing five Class A ordinary shares, which became effective on December 23, 2021.
