Mr. Yunlong Sha, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Puxin, commented, "During winter break in the first quarter of 2021, we had to once again close some of our learning centers and move the courses online, in line with local epidemic prevention measures in certain cities. To ensure the safety and health of every student and staff member, we have strengthened epidemic prevention health measures in our learning centers. Our topline has temporarily experienced some headwinds. Although net revenues have been slightly declined year-over-year, our K-12 business still grows at a steady rate and achieved an increase of 5.2%^[4] year-over-year. Puxin has implemented a blended learning model, providing students with both online and offline learning formats. Puxin has been investing in upgrading its data-based and systematic platform which seamlessly integrates offline and online K-12 tutoring services to ensure smooth delivery of courses. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company developed the business intelligence analysis platform, which integrates smart data statistics, data analysis, and data prediction. The various statistical analysis reports provide the basis for more efficient decision-making. At the same time, we have developed our proprietary ERP system based on our specific needs, which can better support our operations, improve our overall operational efficiency and enhance the accuracy and depth of data analysis. Moving forward in 2021, with the rebound of China's economy and ease of epidemic risks with vaccine distribution, Puxin is confident to achieve a high-quality growth in the following quarters."

Mr. Peng Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Puxin, added, "In the first quarter of 2021, net revenues of K-12 tutoring services achieved RMB550.6 million, compared to RMB523.3 million^[5] for the same period last year. Puxin has continued to focus on developing K-12 tutoring services. We strengthened teacher training nationwide, and constantly increased R&D investments in enriching the content of products to arouse students' interest in learning. These strategies effectively improved teaching quality and increased customer satisfaction and customer stickiness. The K-12 group class student retention rate^[6] rose to 80.6%. With the implementation of cost reduction and efficiency measures, operating expenses have decreased by 15.0% compared with the same period last year. The bottom line has been significantly improved on a year-over-year basis. Net income attributable to Puxin was RMB37.8 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to a loss of RMB43.5 million for the same period in 2020. Looking forward, as student retention increases and our PBS system is strengthened, we are confident in improving our profitability in a long run."

^[4] This number represents the growth rate of net revenues of K-12 tutoring services in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to net revenues of K-12 tutoring services (excluding Puxin Online School) in the first quarter of 2020.

^[5] This number has excluded the net revenues of Puxin Online School in the first quarter of 2020.

^[6] This term refers to the number of students who continue to enroll in K-12 tutoring group class courses (excluding promotional programs) at our learning centers after completing a K-12 tutoring group class course in a particular period as a percentage of the total number of students who complete K-12 tutoring group class courses during the same period.

Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2021

Net Revenues

Net revenues decreased by 8.6% to RMB686.8 million (US$104.8 million) from RMB751.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in student enrollments from 580,661 in the first quarter of 2020 to 539,355 in the same period of 2021.

Net revenues of K-12 tutoring services were RMB550.6 million (US$84.0 million), an increase of 5.2% from net revenues of K-12 tutoring services (excluding Puxin Online School) of RMB523.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily driven by our improved teaching service quality and enriching content of products.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues decreased by 3.8% to RMB385.0 million (US$58.8 million) from RMB400.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to decreases in teaching staff's compensation and lease cost for classrooms.

Selling and marketing expenses, excluding share-based compensation expenses, decreased by 19.3% to RMB182.9 million (US$27.9 million) from RMB226.5 million in the first quarter of 2020.

The decreases were primarily due to decreases in staff compensation.

Total share-based compensation expenses decreased by 34.5% to RMB5.5 million (US$0.8 million) from RMB8.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of options vested in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company's operating results, enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation. In addition, calculations of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from calculations used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
