Mr. Cheng-Yaw Sun, ATA’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Fiscal Year 2014 was a year marked by success, as well as some challenges. We delivered over 1.5 million National Unified Certified Public Accountants (‘CPA’) exams across China and the Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions using ATA’s advanced testing technologies for the second consecutive year in October, versus 1.4 million exams in the prior fiscal year. During Fiscal Year 2014, ATA also delivered increased volumes of exams for the China Banking Association, the security guard exam, as well as exams for our HR Select clients. As a result of these efforts, ATA delivered 9.4 million billable exams during Fiscal Year 2014, a 7.6% increase over the prior fiscal year. The Company also faced some challenges during the fiscal year, including decreased demand for the Securities Association of China (‘SAC’) exam and the termination of ATA’s exclusive distributor contract with ETS for TOEIC and its related products. In spite of these hurdles, our gross margin for Fiscal Year 2014 increased to 51.1%, from 48.5% in the prior fiscal year, mainly due to the year-over-year decrease in our average monitoring costs.”

 

Mr. Sun continued, “We were very pleased with the growth we achieved in our HR Select business during Fiscal Year 2014 and will continue our efforts to grow this business into the future. We have also made progress on our mobile testing system (‘MTS’) project this fiscal year and are very pleased to have secured a contract with the Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of Cambridge (‘Cambridge’), an affiliate of the University of Cambridge, and a leading global provider of language instruction for learners and teachers of English. Under the terms of this contract, ATA has been appointed the global exclusive technology provider for Cambridge English Junior Exam, which includes services such as test hosting, authoring, and marking through our delivery technologies and platform. Out of all the Young Learners Exams’ English markets, Cambridge and ATA have already launched the Cambridge English Junior Exam in six markets across Europe, Asia and South America. We are excited to be continuing our partnership with Cambridge, which we believe validates MTS as a strong addition to ATA’s portfolio of products.”

 

Operating Review

 

In Fourth Quarter 2014, ATA delivered a total of 1.3 million billable tests. In Fiscal Year 2014, ATA delivered a total of 9.4 million billable tests, compared to 8.7 million in Fiscal Year 2013. The Company had a network of 3,048 authorized test centers throughout China as of March 31, 2014, which the Company believes to be the largest test center network of any commercial testing service provider in China. ATA has delivered more than 57.3 million billable tests since it began operations in 1999.

 

GAAP Results

 

Fiscal Year 2014

 

For Fiscal Year 2014, net revenues were RMB384.7 million (US$61.9 million), an increase of 4.9% from RMB366.7 million in Fiscal Year 2013. The growth in net revenues was driven by higher revenues from the private sector business.

 

Net revenues from the testing services business increased 6.9% to RMB358.8 million (US$57.7 million), primarily due to increased volumes of the CPA exam, exams delivered for the China Banking Association, the security guard exam, and exams delivered for the private sector, which were partially offset by decreased SAC exam volumes.

 

Net revenues from test preparation and training solutions was RMB5.9 million (US$1.0 million) in Fiscal Year 2014, compared to RMB11.3 million in Fiscal Year 2013, primarily as a result of decreased revenue contributions from online continuing education services for the securities industry.

 

Other revenues remained flat at RMB19.9 million (US$3.2 million) in Fiscal Year 2014, compared to RMB19.5 million in Fiscal Year 2013.

Gross profit for Fiscal Year 2014 increased 10.3% to RMB196.2 million (US$31.6 million), from RMB177.8 million in Fiscal Year 2013. Gross margin was 51.0 % in Fiscal Year 2014, compared to 48.5% in Fiscal Year 2013, largely due to a year-over-year decrease in average monitoring costs and additional revenues from licensing fees resulting from a simulation contract with Microsoft.

 

Operating expenses for Fiscal Year 2014 were RMB154.8 million (US$24.9 million), compared to RMB150.8 million in Fiscal Year 2013. This increase was primarily due to the impairment loss related to prepaid royalties of RMB12.0 million to ETS.

 

Income from operations for Fiscal Year 2014 increased 53.2% to RMB41.4 million (US$6.7 million), from RMB27.0 million in Fiscal Year 2013.

 

Net income for Fiscal Year 2014 increased 17.5% to RMB27.3 million (US$4.4 million), from RMB23.2 million in Fiscal Year 2013, despite increased expenses of RMB11.3 million in withholding tax expenses for a special dividend that was paid from the Company’s China subsidiary to its BVI holding company during Fourth Quarter 2014 and RMB12.0 million in impairment loss related to prepaid royalties to ETS.

For Fourth Quarter 2014, ATA’s total net revenues increased 12.3% to RMB58.7 million (US$9.4 million), from RMB52.2 million in Fourth Quarter 2013, primarily due to higher revenues from the testing services business. Net revenues from TOEIC and HR Select for Fourth Quarter 2014 were RMB17.4 million (US$2.8 million), compared to RMB16.8 million in Fourth Quarter 2013, as a result of decreased volumes of TOEIC, primarily due to the termination of the exclusive distributor contract between ETS and ATA for TOEIC and its related products.

 

Gross profit for Fourth Quarter 2014 increased 12.8% to RMB33.6 million (US$5.4 million), from RMB29.8 million in Fourth Quarter 2013. Gross margin improved to 57.3% in Fourth Quarter 2014, compared to 57.0% in Fourth Quarter 2013.

Mr. Sun concluded, “Securing the MTS contract with Cambridge and the second successful delivery of the CPA exam were significant milestones for ATA in Fiscal Year 2014. As online and mobile technologies are being increasingly accepted and implemented in lieu of traditional paper-and-pencil testing in the education and assessment space in China, we intend to capitalize on this momentum in Fiscal Year 2015. We will also continue working to grow our HR Select business, as well as MTS business. All of these efforts will contribute to our goal of further diversifying ATA’s revenue mix between government-sponsored exams and corporate assessment exams, which we believe is vital to the Company’s long-term growth. ATA continues to operate on the strict cost structure that has helped to contribute to the success of its scalable business model and its ability to generate excess cash flow to finance the Company’s continued growth, and we look forward to continue growing our business in Fiscal Year 2015.”

 

These are ATA’s current projections, which are subject to change. You are cautioned that operating results in Fourth Quarter 2014 and in Fiscal Year 2014 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any future periods.

Currency Convenience Translation

 

The Company’s financial information is stated in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the People’s Republic of China. The translation of RMB amounts for Fiscal Year 2014 and Fourth Quarter 2014 ended March 31, 2014, into U.S. dollars are included solely for the convenience of readers and have been made at the rate of RMB6.2164 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate as of March 31, 2014, in New York for cable transfers in RMB per U.S. dollar as set forth in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. Such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that rate or any other rate, or to be the amounts that would have been reported under U.S. GAAP.

 

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement ATA’s consolidated financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), ATA uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain or loss, and basic and diluted earnings (losses) per common share and ADS excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain or loss.

 

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. ATA believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information about its performance by excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gains or losses, which may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective.

 

ATA 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 ATA’s historical performance. ATA computes its non-GAAP financial measures using a consistent method from period to period. ATA 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 (loss) excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gains or losses and basic and diluted earnings (losses) per common share and per ADS excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain or loss is that share-based compensation charges and foreign currency exchange gains or losses have been, and are expected to continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in ATA’s business.

Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Comparable GAAP Measures” shown at the end this news release has more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures used by ATA.
