Third Quarter of Fiscal 2019 Financial Results

REVENUES. Revenues increased by 3.7% YoY to RMB254.2 million ($37.0 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase was mainly driven by the Company's expanding total subscriber base, which was partially offset by the YoY decrease in new subscribers.

Revenues generated from storage fees increased by 18.6% YoY to RMB96.9 million ($14.1 million) in the reporting quarter. The accumulated subscriber base as of December 31, 2018, was 728,279([1]). Storage fee revenues accounted for 38.1% of total revenues compared to 33.3% in the prior year period.

Revenues generated from processing fees and other services in the third quarter was RMB157.3 million ($22.9 million). 23,663 new subscriber sign-ups were recorded during the reporting quarter, down by 2.3% YoY but up by 3.3% quarter over quarter ("QoQ"), in spite of conservative consumer behavior during the reporting quarter. Revenues generated from processing fees accounted for 61.9% of total revenues compared to 66.7% in the prior year period.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the third quarter increased by 3.9% YoY to RMB205.9 million ($30.0 million). Gross margin improved slightly to 81.0% from 80.9% in the prior year period.

OPERATING INCOME. Despite higher sales and marketing expenses due to increased efforts to recruit new subscribers, operating income in the third quarter increased by 18.1% YoY to RMB92.6 million ($13.5 million), because of the absence of share-based compensation expense related to the Company's restricted share units ("RSUs") scheme. In the prior year period, there was RMB19.8 million in share-based compensation expense whereas no such expense has been recognized since April 1, 2018. Operating margin improved to 36.4%. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the reporting quarter remained at RMB12.7 million ($1.9 million), similar to the prior year period. Accumulatively, non-GAAP operating income([2]) was RMB105.3 million ($15.3 million), compared to RMB110.8 million in the prior year period.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter increased by 8.2% YoY to RMB64.9 million ($9.4 million) as the Company continued to invest in its sales and marketing capabilities. The Company increased its sales force to more than 750 people, representing an increase in head count of over 20%. Marketing and promotional activities were heavier during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as the Company hosted and sponsored multiple conferences and exhibitions, promoting industry advancements to potential clients as well as to the broader medical community. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues increased moderately to 25.5% from 24.5% of the same quarter last year, remained in check.

General and Administrative Expenses. During the reporting quarter, general and administrative expenses decreased by 21.2% YoY to RMB44.8 million ($6.5 million), which was mainly driven by the absence of share-based compensation expense related to the Company's RSUs scheme. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues declined to 17.6% from 23.2% in the same quarter of the previous year.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES.

Unrealized holding loss for equity securities. In the reporting period, the Company recognized RMB28.4 million ($4.1 million) unrealized holding loss for equity securities, or more commonly known as mark-to-market loss, as other expenses under the new accounting standard. Such loss was mainly attributable to the investments in Cordlife Group Limited ("CGL"). In the prior year period, unrealized holding gains for equity securities of RMB3.4 million was recorded as other comprehensive loss([3]).

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE COMPANY'S SHAREHOLDERS. As the increase in operating income was impaired by the mark-to-market loss, income before income tax for the third quarter decreased by 12.4% YoY to RMB75.2 million ($10.9 million). Income tax expense for the third quarter was down to RMB13.4 million ($2.0 million) from RMB15.6 million in the prior year period. Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders for the third quarter decreased by 12.2% YoY to RMB61.4 million ($8.9 million). Net margin for the third quarter was 24.1%.

EARNINGS PER SHARE([5]). Basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 were RMB0.51 ($0.07) compared to RMB0.61 in the prior year period. The difference was largely a result of a greater number of shares outstanding compared to the prior year.

First Nine Months of Fiscal 2019 Financial Results

For the first nine months of fiscal year 2019, total revenues increased by 4.4% YoY to RMB735.1 million ($106.9 million). The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in the Company's storage fee revenues from its growing accumulated subscriber base. Revenues from storage fees increased by 18.1% YoY to RMB282.7 million ($41.1 million) and revenues from processing fees and other services were down by 2.6% YoY to RMB452.4 million ($65.8 million). Gross profit increased by 5.3% YoY to RMB596.5 million ($86.8 million). Operating income increased by 23.2% YoY to RMB292.8 million ($42.6 million). Non-GAAP operating income([2]) increased by 6.5% YoY to RMB332.1 million ($48.3 million). Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB200.0 million ($29.1 million) compared to RMB206.6 million in the prior year period, after taking into account the unrealized holding loss of RMB68.7 million ($10.0 million) for equity securities following the adoption of a new accounting standard([3]). Basic and diluted earnings per share([5]) attributable to ordinary shares were RMB1.66 ($0.24) and RMB1.65 ($0.24), respectively, compared to RMB1.83 in the same period last year. Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was RMB570.6 million ($83.0 million) compared to RMB624.4 million in the prior year period.

                             services according to the subscription
                             contracts and these units are being
                             treated as if they were donated cord
                             blood units and will be part of the
                             Company's non-current inventories.
                             Hence, the net accumulated subscriber
                             base was 728,279 as of December 31,

                             for a reconciliation of non-GAAP
                             operating income to exclude the non-

                             and amortization and share-based

     compensation expenses related to the
     Company's RSUs scheme were RMB19.8

     respectively, whereas no such expense

                             shares for the three months and nine
                             months ended December 31, 2017, basic
                             and diluted earnings per ordinary share

                             121,687,974 and 121,551,075 shares were
                             issued and outstanding as of December
                             31, 2018.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

GAAP results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, include non-cash items related to the depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expenses. To supplement the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company has provided adjusted financial information excluding the impact of these items in this press release. The non-GAAP financial measure represents non-GAAP operating income. Such adjustment is a departure of U.S. GAAP; however, the Company's management believes that these adjusted measures provide investors with a better understanding of how the results relate to the Company's historical performance. Also, management uses non-GAAP operating income as a measurement tool for evaluating actual operating performance compared to budget and prior periods. These adjusted measures should not be considered an alternative to operating income, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures are not necessarily comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company. A reconciliation of the adjustments to U.S. GAAP results appears in exhibit 3 accompanying this press release. This additional adjusted information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financials. The adjusted financial information that the Company provides also may differ from the adjusted information provided by other companies.
