· Net revenues of RMB123.0 million (US$19.8 million), compared to RMB188.9 million, primarily as a result of the National Unified Certified Public Accountants (CPA) exam taking place during the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2014 (Second Quarter 2015), while the prior years CPA exam took place in Third Quarter 2014

Fiscal Year 2015 Outlook
· For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 (Fiscal Year 2015), ATA is revising its net revenue guidance to between RMB340.0 million and RMB350.0 million, from the previously provided range of between RMB385.0 million and RMB405.0 million, and narrowing its non-GAAP net income (adjusted net income, which excludes share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain/loss) guidance to between RMB28.0 million and RMB33.0 million, from the previously provided range of between RMB28.0 million and RMB38.0 million.
· For the quarter ending March 31, 2015 (Fourth Quarter 2015), ATA expects net revenues of between RMB30.0 million and RMB40.0 million.
Mr. Kevin Ma, ATAs Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, During Third Quarter 2015, ATA made continued progress on its consumer initiatives, which will serve as a long-term foundation for the Companys growth going forward. Our self-developed mobile application Exam Inventory Navigator (考试导航) continues to grow its user base and was named one of the top 10 examination-focused mobile applications by Sina Education in December 2014. We also recently announced our first investment in proprietary tools and services related to the study abroad market and, more specifically, the well-known SAT exam. We believe our partnership with Satech, a provider of SAT exam-related technologies and services in China, will enable ATA to leverage its resources more quickly and effectively, gradually expanding its customer base to serving those taking the SAT and similar exams.
Mr. Ma continued, We were pleased to deliver approximately 2.6 million billable tests during Third Quarter 2015, which included exams for the China Banking Association (CBA) and Beijing Municipal Commission of Tourism Development, as well as campus recruitment exams for corporate clients from various industries including finance, telecommunications, and energy. This represents a slight decrease from the 2.7 million billable tests delivered in Third Quarter 2014, excluding CPA exam volumes. ATAs Third Quarter 2015 revenues were impacted by the change in timing of the CPA exam to Second Quarter 2015 and decreased revenue contributions from TOEIC as a result of the termination of the exclusive distributor contract between Educational Testing Services (ETS) and ATA in fiscal 2014. In spite of these challenges, we are pleased to be working with the CBA on the launch of a web-based distance education project for banking professionals to continue their professional development, which we expect to launch in April 2015. We have also made progress on our consumer initiatives, which we believe will be significant growth drivers for the Company moving forward, and continue to look into additional opportunities where a partnership may make sense. We remain confident that the combined efforts of these initiatives will elevate ATAs prominence as an expert in assessment technologies and methodologies for various audiences.
Operating Review
In Third Quarter 2015, ATA delivered a total of 2.6 million billable tests, compared to 4.2 million (2.7 million, excluding the CPA exam) in Third Quarter 2014. The Company had a network of 2,992 authorized test centers throughout China as of December 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 65.1 million billable tests since it began operations in 1999.
GAAP Results
Third Quarter 2015
For Third Quarter 2015, ATAs total net revenues were RMB123.0 million (US$19.8 million), compared to RMB188.9 million in Third Quarter 2014, primarily due to the CPA exam taking place in Second Quarter 2015 versus Third Quarter 2014 in the prior year. Excluding CPA exam revenues in Third Quarter 2014, total net revenues decreased RMB4.2 million in Third Quarter 2015 due to lower revenue contributions from TOEIC, which was a result of the termination of the exclusive distributor contract between ETS and ATA in fiscal 2014.
Gross profit for Third Quarter 2015 was RMB64.1 million (US$10.3 million), compared to RMB92.5 million in Third Quarter 2014. Gross margin was 52.1% in Third Quarter 2015, compared to 49.0% in Third Quarter 2014. The increase was primarily a result of costs for certain client exams being recognized in Third Quarter 2014 while corresponding revenues were recognized in the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter.
Income from operations in Third Quarter 2015 was RMB30.4 million (US$4.9 million), compared to RMB39.3 million in Third Quarter 2014, primarily due to a lower revenue base resulting from the change in timing of the CPA exam. Operating expenses related to ATAs consumer initiatives were RMB3.8 million, representing 11.4% of total operating expenses incurred during Third Quarter 2015.
Net income for Third Quarter 2015 was RMB24.6 million (US$4.0 million), compared to RMB35.6 million in Third Quarter 2014. For Third Quarter 2015, basic and diluted earnings per common share were both RMB0.53 (US$0.09), compared to RMB0.77 in Third Quarter 2014. Basic and diluted earnings per ADS were both RMB1.06 (US$0.18) in Third Quarter 2015, compared to RMB1.54 in Third Quarter 2014.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted net income for Third Quarter 2015, which excludes share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange loss (non-GAAP), totaled RMB21.8 million (US$3.5million), compared to RMB39.1 million in Third Quarter 2014. Basic and diluted earnings per common share excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange loss (non-GAAP) for Third Quarter 2015 were both RMB0.47 (US$0.08).
Basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange loss (non-GAAP) for Third Quarter 2015 were both RMB0.94 (US$0.16), compared to RMB1.70 in Third Quarter 2014.
Please see the note about non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation table at the end of this press release.
Other Data
The number of weighted average ADSs used to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per ADS for Third Quarter 2015 was 22.9 million. Each ADS represents two common shares.
Share Repurchase Plan
On August 5, 2014, ATAs Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to US$5.0 million of its issued and outstanding ADSs in both open-market and privately negotiated transactions, through block trades. By the end of Third Quarter 2015, the Company had repurchased 210,160 ADSs at an average stock price of US$4.35. This share repurchase plan expired on January 31, 2015.
Guidance for Fiscal Year 2015 and for Fourth Quarter 2015
For Fourth Quarter 2015, ATA expects net revenues of between RMB30.0 million and RMB40.0 million.
For Fiscal Year 2015, ATA expects net revenues of between RMB340.0 million and RMB350.0 million and non-GAAP net income of between RMB28.0 million and RMB33.0 million.

Mr. Ma concluded, While we have made great headway on our consumer initiatives, ATA is revising its net revenue and non-GAAP net income guidance for Fiscal Year 2015 as a result of changes in timing of clients service needs and prolonged contracted negotiations. We intend to continue moving forward on our consumer initiatives and were pleased to have successfully delivered a series of NCTE trial exams as part of our partnership with Wai Yan She during Third Quarter 2015.
Throughout Fiscal Year 2015, ATA has been working to set the stage for the Companys future growth by investing in its consumer initiatives, which will take some time to develop before they begin to contribute to the Companys top and bottom lines. We continue working toward establishing ATA as a recognizable brand name among consumers in China and are grateful for our shareholders support as we move forward on all the new developments at ATA. We look forward to providing more detailed updates on the progress of our consumer initiatives in the coming months.
These are ATAs current projections, which are subject to change. You are cautioned that operating results in Third Quarter 2015 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any future periods.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This announcement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as anticipate, believe, could, estimate, expect, forecast, future, intend, look forward to, outlook, plan, should, will, and similar terms and include, among other things, the Companys guidance relating to anticipated financial and operating results for the Third Quarter 2015 and Fiscal Year 2015 and statements regarding market demand and trends, the SAC exam, the SAT exam, the potential growth and success of the Companys CPA, security guard and Cambridge English Junior Exam and other businesses, including its HR Select and MTS businesses, and the Companys future growth and results of operations.
The factors that could cause the Companys actual financial and operating results to differ from what the Company currently anticipates can include its ability to meet challenges associated with its rapid expansion, its ability to meet the expectations of current and future clients, its ability to deploy new test titles, its ability to win new enterprise contracts, its ability to convert its existing contracts into actual revenues, the economy of China, uncertainties with respect to the Chinas legal and regulatory environments, and other factors stated in the Companys filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The financial information contained in this release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Companys annual report on Form 20-F for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, and other filings that ATA has made with the SEC. The filings are available on the SECs website at www.sec.gov and at ATAs website at www.ata.net.cn. For additional information on the risk factors that could adversely affect the Companys business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, please see the Risk Factors section of the Companys Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.
The selected unaudited financial results for the Third Quarter 2015 announced today are subject to adjustments. The anticipated results for the Third Quarter 2015 remain subject to the finalization of the Companys year-end closing, reporting and audit processes.
The forward-looking statements in this release involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections about ATA and the markets in which it operates. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release, to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, or to changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law. Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that its expectations and assumptions will turn out to be correct, and investors are cautioned that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results.
Currency Convenience Translation
The Companys financial information is stated in Renminbi (RMB), the currency of the Peoples Republic of China. The translation of RMB amounts for Third Quarter 2015 ended December 31, 2014, into U.S. dollars are included solely for the convenience of readers and have been made at the rate of RMB6.2046 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate as of December 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 ATAs 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 managements internal comparisons to ATAs 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 ATAs 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.
