Excluding the impact of share repurchases, our cash position improved year over year, strengthening our balance sheet and demonstrating our disciplined financial management. We also remained committed to delivering shareholder returns, completing our US$80 million share repurchase program initially launched in November 2022 this quarter and initiating the new US$100 million program approved in May.”

“Going forward, Gaotu will continue to pursue sustainable growth by strengthening our pipeline of high-quality teachers, enhancing execution and leveraging data-driven operations, delivering enduring, long-term value to all our stakeholders.”

Shannon Shen, CFO of the Company, added, “In the third quarter, we sustained solid revenue growth while elevating our overall operational quality and efficiency. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased significantly, improving by 27.6 percentage points year-over-year. Additionally, our user acquisition efficiency improved 12.8% year over year, and net operating cash outflow narrowed by approximately RMB54.2 million year over year, reflecting the early benefits of structured efficiency gains across our operations. Deferred revenue grew robustly to nearly RMB1.8 billion, up 23.2% year-over-year, providing greater visibility of revenue for the upcoming quarters. We will remain focused on driving high-quality, sustainable growth by optimizing unit economics, while enhancing our operational quality and resilience through continued product refinement, systematic teacher development and brand building.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses gross billings, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss), each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

The Company defines gross billings for a specific period as the total amount of cash received for the sale of course offerings in such period, net of the total amount of refunds in such period. The Company's management uses gross billings as a performance measurement because the Company generally bills its students for the entire course fee at the time of sale of its course offerings and recognizes revenue proportionally as the classes are delivered. For some courses, the Company continues to provide students with 12 months to 36 months access to the pre-recorded audio-video courses after the online live courses are delivered. The Company believes that gross billings provides valuable insight into the sales of its course packages and the performance of its business. As gross billings have material limitations as an analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) exclude share-based compensation expenses. The Company 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. The Company 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 the Company’s historical performance. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from 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.

The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
