17 Décembre 2020 - 2:30PM
Meten EdtechX Education Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: METX)
(“Meten EdtechX” or the “Company”), a leading omnichannel
English language training (“ELT”) service provider in China, today
announced that it expects to increase prices of its products under
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic this year.
As a key player in the Chinese ELT market, Meten
EdtechX has further strengthened its pricing power. The Company
intends to increase the prices of its products by approximately 5%.
This move is expected to increase the Company’s gross billings by
approximately RMB80 million, net profit by approximately RMB60
million, and earnings per share by 50% in 2021. The net profit of
Meten EdtechX will likely rapidly increase after hitting bottom
during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
In addition, Meten EdtechX is building more
high-end SVIP courses for China's high-net-worth students/users.
The price of the new SVIP courses is expected to be approximately
RMB200,000 per student per year. Meten EdtechX will provide
students/users with door-to-door teaching classes and a
three-for-one attentive teaching service. The new SVIP courses will
be offered in more than 20 cities across China to extend the
Company’s high-end business.
As of September 30, 2020, Meten EdtechX had 123
learning centers (including 110 self-operated learning centers and
13 franchised learning centers). The Company believes that Meten
EdtechX has become the only choice for adults in most cities in
China to learn English offline. Based on this competitive
advantage, Meten EdtechX has also continued to accelerate the
development of junior and online ELT businesses to build a
comprehensive education and training platforms.
