-- The total number of schools and learning centers increased to 207 as of
May 31, 2008 from 130 as of May 31, 2007. We opened 3 new schools in
the quarter to bring the total to 41 as of May 31, 2008, up from 38 as
of February 29, 2008. The number of learning centers increased by 23
in the quarter to 166 as of May 31, 2008, up from 143 as of February
29, 2008.
"We are pleased to finish our 2008 fiscal year on a strong note with
substantial fourth fiscal quarter revenue and profit growth," said Michael
Yu, New Oriental's chairman and chief executive officer. "During the
quarter, we continued to grow our 'New Oriental U Can' all-subjects middle
and high school training program after its initial launch in last fiscal
quarter. We have rolled out U-Can programs in more than 20 cities
throughout China with enrollments of more than 7,000 in non-English subject
classes in the fourth fiscal quarter, despite an enrollment slowdown in May
following the Sichuan earthquake. We are confident that U-Can, along with
English language training and overseas test preparation, will drive New
Oriental's growth in the years ahead."
"We also successfully executed on our expansion plan in the fourth
fiscal quarter by opening a total of three new schools in the cities of
Lanzhou, Huangshi and Ningbo. To further capture the strong demand for our
programs and services in existing markets, we also added a net 23 new
learning centers during the quarter. Including these new schools and
learning centers, we added a total of 77 facilities in fiscal year 2008,
consisting of 6 schools and 71 learning centers," Mr. Yu added.
New Oriental's chief financial officer, Louis T. Hsieh, stated:
We are pleased to report record financial results for the fourth fiscal
quarter and full 2008 fiscal year. Our fourth fiscal quarter net revenues
were up 62.5% year-over-year to US$40.2 million, and non-GAAP net income
was up over 500% from the year ago period to US$4.5 million. For the 2008
fiscal year, we increased net revenues 51.6% year-over-year to over
US$201.0 million, and non-GAAP net income increased 73.7% year-over-year to
US$57.8 million. Despite opening a record 77 schools and learning centers
in fiscal year 2008, we continued to demonstrate the leveragability of our
business model with strong margin improvements: (i) gross margins increased
to 61.6% for FY2008, from 59.5% for FY2007, (ii) non-GAAP operating margins
increased to 26.9% for FY2008, from 23.2% for FY2007, and (iii) non-GAAP
net income margins increased to 28.7% for FY2008, from 25.1% for FY2007.
Our strong student enrollment growth in language training and test
preparation courses continued in fiscal year 2008 with over 1,271,000
enrollments, an increase of over 200,000 enrollments, or 19.1%, from fiscal
year 2007. We achieved record student enrollments for the fiscal year
despite a 2.8% decrease to 305,200 student enrollments for the fourth
fiscal quarter due to (i) the slowdown in May following the Sichuan
earthquake; (ii) the slowdown in our Beijing School due to uncertainties
surrounding housing, transportation and travel logistics for the summer of
2008 as Beijing prepares to host the Olympic Games; and (iii) the difficult
year-over-year comparison with the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 when
student enrollments were up 31.5% to over 314,000 from the previous year. A
portion of last year's fourth fiscal quarter enrollments would normally
have been recorded in the third fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2007, but
were instead pushed into the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 due to the late
timing of the Chinese New Year holiday in 2007 (on February 18, 2007),
which was two to three weeks later than normal.
In response to numerous inquiries from investors and research analysts,
in early June 2008 New Oriental issued a press release discussing the
potential impact to the company's business as a result of the Sichuan
earthquake and the Olympic Games. In that press release the Company stated
it was hopeful of a June rebound in student enrollments and revenues. New
Oriental is pleased to report that we did indeed witness a strong recovery
in student enrollments and revenues in June and the first two weeks of July
2008 ended July 13. "Cash Proceeds" (tuition fees paid by students in cash
when they register for classes and recognized proportionately as revenue as
the instructions are delivered) for the past six weeks ended July 13, 2008
were approximately US$60 million, an increase of approximately 50% from
approximately US$40 million in the corresponding period of 2007. The
Beijing School has also rebounded in the same six week period with Cash
Proceeds up approximately 47% to US$14.6 million. New Oriental's school in
Chengdu, closest to the Sichuan earthquake epicenter, is fully operational
with 6 learning centers and has also recovered in the same six week period
with Cash Proceeds up approximately 32% to US$1.4 million as compared to
the year ago period.
Recent Developments
On June 24, 2008, New Oriental and Intuto Ltd., a New Zealand-based
e-learning solutions provider, formed a strategic partnership to co-develop
and update custom learning materials tailored to New Oriental's existing
IELTS courses. International English Language Testing System, or IELTS, is
used throughout the world to assess the language ability of second language
speakers planning to live, work, or study in English speaking countries.
Under the agreement, Intuto will work with New Oriental's instructors to
develop a line of English language learning materials, including textbooks,
to address the four skills in the IELTS exam: reading, writing, speaking,
and listening of the English language. Furthermore, New Oriental has the
rights under this contract to develop its own IELTS courses and exercises
via New Oriental's Koolearn.com online learning platform based on this
in-classroom material.
Financial Results for the Fiscal Quarter Ended May 31, 2008
For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008, New Oriental reported net
revenues of US$40.2 million, representing a 62.5% increase year-over-year.
Net revenues from educational programs and services for the fourth
fiscal quarter were US$35.2 million, representing a 60.9% increase
year-over-year.
Total operating costs and expenses for the quarter were US$40.4
million, a 43.2% increase year-over-year; excluding share-based
compensation expenses (non-GAAP), operating costs and expenses for the
quarter were US$37.6 million, a 45.2% increase year-over-year.
Cost of revenues for the quarter were US$17.7 million, a 50.9% increase
year-over-year, primarily due to the increased number of courses offered
and the greater number of schools and learning centers in operation.
Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter were US$7.5 million, a
49.9% increase year-over-year, primarily due to the headcount for the
selling and marketing department, which includes registration verification
personnel, increasing by 330 over the year ago period as the company added
77 new schools and learning centers in fiscal year 2008.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter were US$15.2
million, a 32.5% increase year-over-year; excluding share-based
compensation expenses (non-GAAP), general and administrative expenses for
the quarter were US$12.7 million, a 33.7% increase year-over-year,
primarily due to increased headcount as the company further expanded its
operations.
Total share-based compensation expenses, which were allocated to
related operating costs and expenses, increased to US$2.7 million in the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 from US$2.3 million in the year ago
period.
Loss from operations for the quarter was US$0.2 million, a 94.0%
decrease from US$3.5 million in the year ago period, and income from
operations excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the
quarter was US$2.5 million, compared to a loss of US$1.2 million in the
year ago period.
Operating margin for the quarter was negative 0.5%, compared to
negative 14.1% in the corresponding period of the previous year. Excluding
share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), operating margin for the
quarter was 6.3%, compared to negative 4.9% in the corresponding period of
the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the improved operating
efficiency as revenue growth outpaced the growth in operating costs and
expenses.
Net income for the quarter was US$1.8 million, compared to a net loss
of US$1.5 million. Basic and diluted earnings per ADS were US$0.05 and
US$0.05, respectively. Excluding share-based compensation expenses
(non-GAAP), net income for the quarter was US$4.5 million, a 513.2%
increase year-over-year. Basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding
share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) were US$0.12 and US$0.12,
respectively.
Capital expenditures for the quarter were US$2.5 million which was
primarily used to add the 3 new schools and a net of 23 new learning
centers in the quarter.
As of May 31, 2008, New Oriental had cash and cash equivalents of
US$208.4 million, as compared to US$230.1 million as of February 29, 2008.
Net operating cash flow for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 was
US$23.9 million. The decrease in the cash balance was due to the Company's
share buyback plan of one million ADS which was announced on February 14,
2008. The Company has now completed the one million ADS buyback program.
The deferred revenue balance (cash collected from registered students
for courses and recognized proportionately as revenue as the instructions
are delivered) at the end of the quarter was US$59.2 million, an increase
of 37.0% as compared to US$43.2 million at the end of the fourth fiscal
quarter 2007.

Total student enrollments in language training and test preparation
courses in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008 increased by 19.1% to
approximately 1,271,700 from approximately 1,068,000 in the fiscal year

the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008 was US$57.8 million, a 73.7% increase

were US$1.54 and US$1.48, respectively.
Outlook for the First Fiscal Quarter of 2009
New Oriental expects its total net revenues in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2009 (June 1, 2008 to August 31, 2008) to be in the range of
US$103.8 million to US$109.5 million, representing year-over-year growth in
the range of 28% to 35%, respectively. This preliminary forecast could be
negatively impacted by the Olympic Games which will take place August 8 to
24 during the middle of New Oriental's August term, due to potential travel
and transportation logistics arrangements in Beijing and potential
distractions as the nation and the World enjoy the Olympic Games. This
forecast reflects New Oriental's current and preliminary view, which is
subject to change.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement New Oriental's consolidated financial results presented
in accordance with GAAP, New Oriental uses the following measures defined
as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: net income excluding share-based
compensation expenses, income from operations excluding share-based
compensation expenses, operating costs and expenses excluding share-based
compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses excluding
share-based compensation expenses, operating margin excluding share-based
compensation expenses and basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding
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
release.
New Oriental believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity
by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its
operating performance from a cash perspective. New Oriental 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 New Oriental's historical performance
and liquidity. New Oriental computes its non-GAAP financial measures using
the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. New Oriental 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 net income excluding share-based compensation expenses,
and basic and diluted earnings per share and per ADS excluding share-based
compensation expenses is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based
compensation charge that has been and will continue to be for the
foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business.
Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific
information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure.
The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between
GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP
financial measures.
