This is a very exciting time of the year for Nord Anglia as we celebrate the achievements of our students. Recently, 87 students participated in a special side meeting at the UN High-level Political Forum in New York, presenting to the President of the UN General Assembly and UN Membership about the work our schools have undertaken over the last academic year to support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. We would also like to congratulate our IB Diploma students who achieved a pass rate of 94% and an average score of 33.4 points, significantly higher than the world average. We are proud of the progress we have achieved this year and look forward to continuing our ambitious approach to support the success of our students and teachers in the coming years."
Third Quarter FY2017 Results
Average FTEs increased 8.4% to 38,287 in the three months ended May 31, 2017 ("Q3 FY2017") from 35,309 in the three months ended May 31, 2016 ("Q3 FY2016"). Average capacity and utilization were 55,750 seats and 69%, respectively, in Q3 FY2017 compared to 49,402 seats and 71%, respectively, in Q3 FY2016.
Revenue increased 7.4%, or $18.7 million, to $272.2 million in Q3 FY2017 from $253.5 million in Q3 FY2016. This increase was due primarily to higher revenues from premium schools, partly offset by the impact of the strengthening US dollar on our premium schools revenue. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 9.6% in Q3 FY2017, compared to Q3 FY2016. Revenue per FTE was approximately $7,100 in Q3 FY2017, unchanged from Q3 FY2016.
Gross profit increased 5.7%, or $5.8 million, to $106.7 million in Q3 FY2017 from $100.9 million in Q3 FY2016. Gross profit margin was 39.2% in Q3 FY2017 compared to 39.8% in Q3 FY2016. The reduction in gross profit margin in Q3 FY2017 was primarily due to the additional rent included in cost of sales from the sale and leaseback transactions completed during Q3 FY2016 and the new school openings in September 2016, partially offset by tuition fee increases in excess of cost inflation and increased FTEs within our schools.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 13.5% to $55.1 million in Q3 FY2017 from $48.5 million in Q3 FY2016. The increase in SG&A expenses was mainly due to the operating expenses of the new schools opened in September 2016, pre-opening costs associated with the opening of new campuses in Houston, Abu Dhabi, Bangkok and Hong Kong, Global Campus related costs and Sarbanes-Oxley project costs.
Other (losses)/gains changed by $2.4 million from a loss of $10.1 million in Q3 FY2016 to a loss of $7.7 million in Q3 FY2017. In Q3 FY2017, other (losses)/gains included $3.7 million of non-cash foreign exchange losses on intercompany balances and $4.0 million non-cash losses on financial instruments including a $3.1 million loss on the cross currency swaps and a $0.9 million loss on embedded lease derivatives and other options. In Q3 FY2016, other (losses)/gains included $6.3 million of non-cash foreign exchange losses on intercompany balances and $3.8 million non-cash losses on financial instruments including a $3.2 million loss on the cross currency swaps and a $0.6 million loss on embedded lease derivatives and other options.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 0.2%, or $0.2 million, to $69.3 million in Q3 FY2017 from Q3 FY2016. On a constant currency basis, adjusted EBITDA increased 2.1% in Q3 FY2017.
Net financing expense increased $3.4 million from $19.2 million in Q3 FY2016 to $22.6 million in Q3 FY2017 primarily due to an unrealized loss of $7.0 million in Q3 FY2017 compared to an unrealized loss of $2.0 million in Q3 FY2016 on the revaluation of the CHF 200.0 million bonds, partially offset by the reduction in interest margin on our term loan from December 2016 and the revolving credit facility remaining undrawn in Q3 FY2017.
Adjusted Net Income increased 2.9% to $29.3 million in Q3 FY2017 from $28.5 million in Q3 FY2016.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash used in operating activities was $81.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2017, compared to $54.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2016. Cash used in operations was $18.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 compared to cash generated from operations of $14.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 as a result of working capital changes, primarily a reduction in trade and other payables. The increased outflow was primarily due to the impact of a larger cost base as the business has grown. Interest paid decreased from $44.5 million to $38.8 million, and tax paid increased from $18.9 million to $21.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2017, respectively. The reduction in interest paid for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 was primarily due to the revolving credit facility remaining undrawn compared to a drawn balance of $28.0 million as at May 31, 2016 and a reduced margin from December 2016 from 4.0% to 3.5% on the term loan. The outflows were in line with expectations.
Cash used in investing activities was $62.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 compared to cash generated from investing activities of $74.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2016. The outflow for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 included a $27.6 million outflow for the acquisition of subsidiaries (net of cash acquired), including the acquisition of the Prague British School for $14.2 million net of cash acquired and $13.5 million deferred payments for the Cambodia and Vietnam acquisitions, $44.9 million of capital expenditures in relation to the new campuses in Houston, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and the new China bilingual school in Shanghai, and general maintenance capital expenditure, offset by net sale proceeds of $8.9 million in relation to the sale of the old Houston campus. The inflow for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 was primarily due to a $167.0 million inflow from the proceeds of the sale and leaseback transaction and a $33.6 million outflow for the acquisition of subsidiaries (net of cash acquired), including the final deferred payment for the Meritas acquisition, and capital expenditures of $60.0 million.
Cash used in financing activities was $8.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 compared to cash generated from financing activities of $19.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2016. The outflow for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 was primarily due to repayment of borrowings of $6.8 million and payments to non-controlling interests of $1.8 million. The inflow for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 was primarily due to net drawings on the revolving credit facility of $28.0 million.
Cash and cash equivalents (excluding the bank overdraft on our notional pooling accounts) as of May 31, 2017 were $265.9 million, compared to $376.6 million as of May 31, 2016.
Cash and cash equivalents (including the bank overdraft on our notional pooling accounts) as of May 31, 2017 were $216.8 million, compared to $260.5 million as of May 31, 2016.
Recent Developments
As previously disclosed, we have called an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the "EGM") to be held on August 21, 2017 to consider and vote on, among other matters, the proposal to authorize and approve the agreement and plan of merger announced on April 25, 2017. Additional information about the EGM and the merger agreement can be found in the transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 and the proxy statement attached thereto as Exhibit (a)-(1) filed with the SEC.
On July 5, 2017, we completed the acquisition of an international school in Latin America to take our total number of schools to 46. The school currently educates more than 820 FTEs with 870 seats of capacity. The consideration of approximately $30.0 million (with $10.0 million deferred) for the school was within Nord Anglia Education's targeted range of 7-10x trailing EBITDA.
On May 11, 2017, we acquired effective control of and 100% economic interest in the Netherlands Inter-community School in Jakarta, Indonesia for approximately $0.7 million. With over 160 FTEs and 300 seats of capacity, the school is expected to be EBITDA breakeven in fiscal 2017 and provides us entry into a high growth market in Southeast Asia.
We have not resolved objections raised by the Hong Kong Lands Department with respect to the new campus for Nord Anglia International School Hong Kong and therefore do not expect to open the new campus in September 2017. To provide parents with a solution, we have secured two sites in Hong Kong with a combined capacity of 436 seats. Both sites will cater to children aged three to five years old and are planned to open in September 2017.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures
We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary Share, as supplemental financial measures of our operating performance. We define EBITDA as (loss)/profit for the period plus income tax expense, net financing (expense)/income, exceptional items, impairment of goodwill, amortization and depreciation, and we define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for loss/(gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, share based payments, realised gains or losses on hedging agreements and other items. We define Adjusted Net Income as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for depreciation, net financing expense, income tax expense, tax adjustments and non-controlling interests. We define Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary Share are not standard measures under IFRS. These measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to cash flows, net income, earnings per ordinary share or any other measure of financial performance or as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities. We may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation in the future and certain of these items could be recurring. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary Share as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

| (1) We calculate average FTEs for a period by dividing the total number of FTEs at each calendar month end in the period by the number of calendar months in the period. |
|||||||
| (2) We calculate average capacity for a period as the total number of FTEs that can be accommodated in a school based on its existing classrooms at each academic calendar month divided by the number of months in such period. |
|||||||
| (3) We calculate utilization during a period as a percentage equal to the ratio of average FTEs for the period divided by average capacity for the period. |
|||||||
| (4) We calculate revenue per FTE by dividing our revenue from our schools for the period by the average FTEs for the period. |

| We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary Share as supplemental financial measures of our operating performance. We define EBITDA as profit for the period plus income tax expense, net financing expense, exceptional items, other losses/(gains), impairment of goodwill, amortization and depreciation, and we define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for the items set forth in the table below. We define Adjusted Net Income as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for the items in the table below. We define Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary Share are not standard measures under IFRS. These measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to cash flows, net income, earnings per ordinary share or any other measure of financial performance or as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities. We may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation in the future and certain of these items could be recurring. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary Share presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. |
