Management Commentary

 

Mr. Kevin Ma, Chairman and CEO of ACG, stated, “Q3 2024 was a strong quarter for ACG in terms of net revenues and student enrollment. The 13.1% increase in total net revenues was due to expanded research-based learning and more portfolio training services offered, and a growing number of projects introduced this summer. Our expanded services continued to garner student interest, reflected by a 17.9% growth in student enrollment for all of our programs and approximately 19.6% increase in total credit hours delivered for our portfolio training programs.”

 

Mr. Ma continued, “During Q3 2024, we continued to expand our international exposure by hosting a variety of courses, including summer camps in London and Tokyo and a Campus Tour Trip in U.S. universities. We also offered multiple online and offline Master Classes covering various topics such as visual communication, innovation design engineering, and illustration & animation, amongst other projects. These value-adding experiences target a diversified student population, from junior high school to college students interested in studying abroad in the future. We look forward to continuing expanding our portfolio of offerings and helping students achieve positive outcomes.”

 

Reiterates Guidance for Fiscal Year 2024

 

ACG is reiterating its previously provided guidance of total net revenues of between RMB233 million and RMB255 million for the year ending December 31, 2024, which represents a year-over-year increase of 5% to 15%. These guidance assumptions are based on the Company's existing business, current view of existing market conditions and expectations for the year ending December 31, 2024.

 

Mr. Jun Zhang, President of ACG, stated, “As we are approaching the end of the year, we believe we are on the right track to achieve our previously announced full year 2024 net revenue guidance of RMB233 million to RMB255 million. We expect portfolio training services to continue driving the overall business growth for the remainder of 2024. We continue to focus on innovation and have made substantial investments in designing and introducing new research-based learning programs and other services that reflect the trends in the arts industry and academia. Furthermore, as we continue to expand coverage in existing cities by concentrating our resources on managing larger learning centers, we are also focused on increasing the number of partnerships, domestically and internationally. We believe we are well positioned to continue to grow our business in 2025 and beyond.”

Q3 2024 Financial Review – GAAP Results

 

ACG’s total net revenues for Q3 2024 of RMB67.3 million (or $9.6 million), increased 13.1% as compared to RMB59.5 million (or $8.1 million) in Q3 2023, primarily due to increased revenue contributions from portfolio training programs and research-based learning services. Specifically:

 

-Net revenues from portfolio training programs of RMB49.4 million (or $7.0 million) increased 7.2% as compared to Q3 2023 and accounted for 73.5% of total net revenues.

 

-Net revenues from overseas study counselling services, research-based learning services and other educational services of RMB17.9 million (or $2.6 million) increased 33.6% as compared to Q3 2023 and accounted for 26.5% of total net revenues.

 

Gross profit for Q3 2024 of RMB30.0 million (or $4.3 million) increased 2.6%, from RMB29.2 million (or $4.0 million) in Q3 2023 while gross margin decreased to 44.6%, from 49.2% in the prior-year period. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the higher number of teaching staff hired during the quarter as compared to the prior-year period to accommodate the increased number of students, in addition to larger outsourcing costs related to research-based learning services.

 

Total operating expenses for Q3 2024 were RMB47.7 million (or $6.8 million), an increase of 28.4% from RMB37.1 million (or $5.1 million) in Q3 2023. The increase was due to higher selling and general & administrative expenses, slightly offset by lower research and development expenses. Specifically, for Q3 2024:

 

-Selling expenses of RMB25.7 million (or $3.7 million) increased by RMB5.4 million or 26.8% from Q3 2023, mainly as a result of increased number of sales personnel and other sales/marketing/event related expenses.

 

-General & administrative expenses of RMB21.2 million (or $3.0 million), increased by RMB 5.6 million or 35.7% from Q3 2023, mainly as a result of an increase in professional fees and business expansion-related investments.

 

-Research and development expenses of RMB0.7 million (or $0.1 million), decreased by RMB0.5 million or 38.6% from Q3 2023, as ACG’s system development was completed in Q2 2024.

 

As a result, loss from operations for Q3 2024 was RMB17.6 million (or $2.5 million), compared to loss from operations of RMB7.9 million (or $1.1 million) in Q3 2023. Net loss attributable to ACG for Q3 2024 was RMB14.7 million (or $2.1 million), from net loss attributable to ACG of RMB7.3 million (or $1.0 million) in Q3 2023.

 

Basic and diluted losses per common share attributable to ACG for Q3 2024 were RMB0.23 (or $0.03), compared to basic and diluted losses per common share of RMB0.12 (or $0.02) for Q3 2023.

-Selling expenses of RMB72.4 million (or $10.3 million) increased by RMB14.4 million or 24.8% from 9M 2023, mainly as a result of higher number of sales personnel contributing to the increase in sales.

Historical translations of RMB amounts for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, into U.S. dollars have been made at the rate of RMB7.2960 to $1.00, the noon buying rate as of September 30, 2023.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement ACG’s consolidated financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, ACG 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. ACG believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information about its performance by excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain or loss, which may not be indicative of its operating performance.

 

ACG 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 ACG’s historical performance. ACG computes its non-GAAP financial measures using a consistent method from period to period. ACG 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 gain or loss 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 gain or loss have been, and are expected to continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in ACG’s business.

 

Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Comparable GAAP Measures” shown at the end of 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 ACG.
