Commenting on the results, Jerry He, Chief Executive Officer of Noah, said, "We are delighted to start the fiscal year with strong year-over-year growth of 73.8% in revenue reaching the higher range of guidance, and resumed profit in the first quarter after completion of transformation as guided. The robust results reflected that Wentai Education ("Wentai") and Little New Star ("LNS") continued to deliver anticipated strong growth and Yuanbo Education ("Yuanbo"), acquired in July, provided acquisitive growth driver. The results also reflected our execution of the expansion plan to open a total of four kindergartens and one school in three businesses as scheduled, which further fuelled the organic growth momentum. Together we now operate a total of 33 kindergartens, 5 schools, and 15 learning centers in 16 cities in China."
Mr. He added, "Against a backdrop of economic uncertainties in China, the education services industry is one of the few industries that provide defensive growth in different economic cycle. Statistics have shown that education spending, along with other consumer staple, continued to grow in the last economic downturn due to its resilient nature.
"Looking ahead, our pre-school, private primary and secondary school and supplementary education businesses will continue to see robust growth driven by rising demand for high quality services and favorable demand and supply imbalance. With a highly visible business nature, evident by our strong deferred revenue, we are confident that we will continue to have strong growth in the second quarter and meet our full year guidance. In the next quarter, we will focus on improving operating efficiency and enhancing margins, while continuing to pursue organic growth as well as acquisition opportunities with our strong cash position. We are committed to accelerating business growth with focus on sustainability and profitability so as to enhance shareholders value in the long term."
Dora Li, Chief Financial Officer of Noah, said, "Our revenue growth continued to benefit from the expansion of our school network and the organic growth of the business. New schools in general will take two years to reach break-even and our new schools have consistently over-delivered. We are in expansion mode with the addition of five new schools and kindergartens in the quarter and with six in ramp-up stage with less than two years operating history. Therefore, we expect overall gross margin to increase as they reach full capacities and achieve a normalized 50% level gross margin on an annual basis.
"During the quarter, operating expenses as a percentage of revenue has lowered and we would expect it to continue to trend down as we build scale through continued expansion of the school network and achieve operational leverage through ramp-up of current schools.
"In addition, our operation continued to generate free cash flow, which allowed us to have an even stronger cash position to pursue acquisition opportunities."
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Unaudited Financial Results
Net revenue
Net revenue for the first quarter increased 73.8% to RMB34.2 million (US$5.4 million) from RMB19.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, driven mainly by the strong growth in existing Wentai and LNS business and two months contribution from the newly acquired Yuanbo. Net revenue from Wentai was RMB16 million (US$2.5 million), accounting for 47% of net revenue. This compares with RMB8.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which only included net revenue of August and September 2010. LNS also showed solid growth with revenue increased 21% year-over-year to RMB14 million (US$2.2 million), accounting for 41% of net revenue. Net revenue from Yuanbo was RMB4.2 million.
Gross profit and gross profit margin
Gross profit for the first quarter increased 37.9% year-over-year to RMB16.2 million (US$2.5 million) from RMB11.8 million. The increase of gross profit was primarily driven by the continued strong growth of Wentai and LNS and the contribution from Yuanbo.
Gross profit margin was 47.5%, compared with 59.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, and 53.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The decline was primarily a result of the addition of five new schools from Wentai, LNS and Yuanbo and that 3 out of 15 of Yuanbo's existing kindergartens had less than two years operating history and were in the ramp-up process.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the first quarter were RMB22.7 million (US$3.6 million), a year-over-year increase of 51.3% from RMB15.0 million. The increase in operating expenses was a result of the addition of Yuanbo expenses of RMB1.6 million (US$0.2 million) which were not consolidated in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. As a percentage of net revenue, operating expenses were 66.4%, compared to 76.1% in the same period in fiscal 2011.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the first quarter increased 26.4% year-over-year to RMB0.7 million (US$0.11 million) from RMB0.5 million. The increase in R&D expenses was mainly attributable to R&D investment in LNS to further enhance Dudu Happy Reading teaching contents. As a percentage of net revenue, R&D expenses were 2.0%, compared to 2.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company will continue to invest in R&D to strengthen teaching material and content development capabilities while consolidating the efforts to achieve operational leverage.
Sales and marketing ("S&M") expenses for the first quarter increased 49.3% year-over-year to RMB1.5 million (US$0.2 million) from RMB1.0 million. As a percentage of net revenue, S&M expenses were 4.4%, compared to 5.2% in the same period in fiscal 2011. The increase in S&M expenses mainly reflected advertising spending from LNS to enhance the brand. With the organic expansion of LNS and Wentai, as well as the additional contribution from Yuanbo, S&M expenses as a percentage to revenue is expected to maintain at a lower level in fiscal 2012.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses for the first quarter increased 57.0% year-over-year to RMB20.5 million (US$3.2million) from RMB13.1 million. The increase was mainly attributable to the incremental expenses arising from Yuanbo during the quarter. The increase also included approximately RMB1.3 million one-time charge related to relocation of our Shenzhen headquarters and layoff of some employees. As a percentage of net revenue, G&A expenses were 60.0%, compared to 66.5% in the same period in fiscal 2011. The lower percentage of G&A expenses to net revenue primarily reflected the improvement of operational leverage with the expansion of revenue scale.
Other operating income
Other operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was RMB4.6 million (US$0.7 million), compared to RMB0.05 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase was mainly attributable to rental income and summer camp income.
