Mr. Jack Jiajia Huang, Founder, Director and Chief Executive Officer of 51Talk, said, "We are pleased to cap both our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2016 with continued broad-based momentum and record-high results in net revenues, gross billings and number of active students. Our tremendous growth in 2016 was primarily propelled by our growing K-12 student base, which accounted for 55.4% of gross billings in 2016, up from 30.3% in 2015, and reached 64.4% in the fourth quarter 2016. I am especially pleased to be reporting these strong results while at the same time also reporting our fiscal year net operating cash flow reached RMB28.7 million."

Mr. Huang continued, "We expect to see continuous strong demand for online English learning for both K-12 and adult students in 2017, and our goal remains to rapidly grow our business to meet this demand. We are leveraging our industry-leading technologies, curriculum development capabilities, teacher training, and enhanced student services to further increase students' satisfaction and learning effectiveness. Along with a greater focus on word-of-mouth referrals, we aim to further improve our sales and marketing efficiency."

"In 2017, we aim to maintain our leadership position in the mass market as well as further grow our premium-level American Academy program. Key strategies to drive these goals include significantly upgrading student services and improving learning results through increased interaction with Chinese English teachers, as well as introducing new technologies and new course format options. Our R&D team is currently developing proprietary, next-generation audio and video learning technologies, which we plan to leverage to roll out exciting new product portfolios during the year," Mr. Huang concluded.

Mr. Jimmy Lai, Chief Financial Officer of 51Talk, added, "Our robust results for the fourth quarter were highlighted by net revenues and gross billings growing by 131.8% and 125.5% year-over-year, respectively, and gross margin of 64.6%, compared with 62.0% for the same quarter in 2015. Non-GAAP[3] sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of gross billings continued to show improvement, falling to 48.2% for the fourth quarter from 78.3% in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses only increased by 38.8% year-over-year, while our gross billings increased by 125.5% year-over-year. We are committed to improving our operating efficiencies and to seizing the dynamic growth opportunities before us."

Mr. Lai continued, "As our K-12 student enrollment has increased significantly in the past year and became the majority of our student base in the fourth quarter, we started to see slight seasonality in lesson-taking patterns. K-12 students tend to take fewer lessons in the fourth quarter, corresponding with the fall school semester, compared to the third quarter, which is seasonally high and overlaps with their summer breaks. We will closely monitor the patterns as our K-12 student base continues to increase."

[2] An "active student" for a specified period refers to a student who booked at least one paid lesson, and excluding those students who only attended paid live broadcasting lessons.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2016 were RMB128.2 million (US$18.5 million), a 131.8% increase from RMB55.3 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in the number of active students and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average revenue per active student. The number of active students was 115.5 thousand, a 92.2% increase from 60.1 thousand for the same quarter last year.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the fourth quarter of 2016 was RMB45.4 million (US$6.5 million), a 115.9% increase from RMB21.0 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in total service fees paid to teachers, mainly due to the delivery of an increased number of paid lessons, and to a lesser extent, due to the increased cost per lesson with the expansion of western teachers.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2016 was RMB82.8 million (US$11.9 million), a 141.6% increase from RMB34.3 million for the same quarter last year.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 64.6%, compared with 62.0% for the same quarter last year. The increase was mainly the result of increased prices and a stable teacher cost base.

Sales and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were RMB138.6 million (US$20.0 million), a 39.8% increase from RMB99.1 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was mainly due to higher expenses related to an increase in the number of sales and marketing personnel, increased expenses associated with publicity efforts and recognized share-based compensation expenses. There were no share-based compensation expenses recognized prior to the second quarter of 2016 as the initial public offering performance condition was not considered probable until the occurrence. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses were RMB137.6 million (US$19.8 million), a 38.8% increase from RMB99.1 million for the same quarter last year.

Product development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were RMB46.1 million (US$6.6 million), a 115.8% increase from RMB21.4 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily the result of newly added technology and course development-related personnel to further strengthen technology platforms and expand curriculum offerings, recognized share-based compensation expenses, and technical services fees. There were no share-based compensation expenses recognized prior to the second quarter of 2016 as the initial public offering performance condition was not considered probable until the occurrence. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP product development expenses were RMB42.3 million (US$6.1 million), a 98.3% increase from RMB21.4 million for the same quarter last year.

General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were RMB48.8 million (US$7.0 million), a 94.8% increase from RMB25.0 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to additional personnel necessary to support expanded operations, the recognition of share-based compensation expenses, North American teacher recruitment costs for the American Academy program, and costs related to compliance and reporting obligations as a public company. There were no share-based compensation expenses recognized prior to the second quarter of 2016 as the initial public offering performance condition was not considered probable until the occurrence. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses were RMB44.3 million (US$6.4 million), a 77.1% increase from RMB25.0 million for the same quarter last year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating its business, 51Talk considers and uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC as supplemental metrics to review and assess its operating performance: non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP product development expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP income tax expenses, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share and per ADS. To present each of these non-GAAP measures, the Company excludes share-based compensation expenses. 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 GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this press release.

51Talk believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. 51Talk believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to 51Talk's historical performance. 51Talk computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and from period to period. 51Talk believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the 51Talk's business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying table at the end of this press release provides more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
