RYB Education, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

BEIJING, Aug. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- RYB Education, Inc. ("RYB" or the "Company") (NYSE: RYB), a leading early childhood education service provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2020.

Impact from COVID-19

With the unprecedented challenges created by the Covid-19 pandemic since late January 2020, the Company encountered disruptions of business starting from the first quarter. Following the control measures and regulations introduced by the government, the Company began in late January to temporarily suspend the operations of its facilities in China. The closure of facilities has continued through nearly the entire second quarter of this year. This had a significantly adverse impact on the result of operation in the first half of 2020 as the majority of the Company's net revenues are derived from tuition fees collected at such facilities.

In response to the challenges presented by Covid-19, the Company has taken various actions to mitigate impacts, including measures to ensure the health and safety of the students and families, to optimize personnel and control discretionary spending, especially for the business initiatives facing more serious impact in the near term. Moreover, the Company acted swiftly and effectively to introduce online education content and maintain ongoing parent-teacher communication. The Company is encouraged to see that these efforts and education offerings have been well-received by students and their families.

By the end of the second quarter, 75% of the Company's directly operated kindergartens in PRC and Singapore, and over 70% of franchise play-and-learn centers, had resumed operation. Student recruitment at directly operated kindergartens and promotional activities for franchise play-and-learn centers have now resumed through both online and offline channels.

"During the second quarter, in the face of prolonged facility closures due to impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, we continued to enhance our online service capabilities to ensure that students would have undisrupted remote access to high-quality at-home learning resources and to a good collection of early childhood education content," said Ms. Yanlai Shi, Co-founder, Director and Chief Executive Officer of RYB, "Following the initial launch in the first quarter of our paid course platform for kindergarteners, during the second quarter the team further added content offerings available on the platform. We simultaneously carried out a pilot promotion of this platform for enrolled students at some directly operated kindergartens, and their parents provided positive feedback. With the help of this platform and most of our facilities across regions back to normal operation over time, we will push forward the online-merge-offline practice for learning at the kindergarten level. While still in its very early stage, I believe this platform will help us better upgrade our service quality as part of our digitalization efforts in kindergarten services. With a complete and polished content platform fully established in the future, we look forward to exploring its potential to be adopted across market.

"At the same time, we also completed planning for service management model for third-party kindergarten and play-and-learn center operations. We plan to leverage our integrated online-merge-offline model and expand existing services by this service management model. Through this service management model, we can deliver high-quality content, standardized management systems, and targeted service training to a broad range of facility operators in a systematic manner with modularized offerings. We believe this can also help reinvigorate the industry. In addition, we kicked off our early-years childcare business, an initiative for which we have been doing market research, developing educational content, assembling a team with expertise, and setting up an operating pilot facility for nearly three years. With a supportive policy environment for early-years childcare services, along with our core strengths and network presence, we are confident to see further growth in this service unit, and it becoming an integral part of a refined and expanded service offerings for 0-6-year-olds," concluded Ms. Shi.

Mr. Hao Gu, Chief Financial Officer of RYB, added, "In the second quarter, the Company's revenues came under pressure as prolonged facility closures were observed due to Covid-19 impacts across regions. However, we actively executed strict measures to reduce expenses and expenditures and control cash outflows. As compared to the first quarter, the gross and operating losses also significantly narrowed. Our directly operated facilities have started to resume operation in the second quarter, and with the upcoming semester starting in September, we expect to see significant improvement in the Company's operating cash flow. We are pleased that at the end of the second quarter, with the exception of facilities in a few places including Beijing and Wuhan, most of our directly operated kindergartens had re-opened. Thanks to the comprehensive planning beforehand and meticulous advance preparation, we are happy to report a satisfactory attendance rate, or rate of return to our facilities of approximately 80% pre-Covid-19 enrollment levels. Additionally, for the facilities in Beijing, related government authorities have recently announced a clear schedule for re-opening in September. Our faculty and staff members have made preparations and are ready to welcome students back to kindergartens once those facilities reopen."

"In the process of upgrading our services and our business transformation, we will make use of the advantages of our existing facility network and enrollment and leverage other resources to achieve better performance and long-term growth efficiently," concluded Mr. Gu.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $12.8 million, compared with $53.6 million for the same quarter of 2019.

Service revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $11.6 million, compared with $48.2 million for the same quarter of 2019. The decrease was caused by decreased tuition fees as the temporary closure of the facilities in China. While over 60% of the directly operated facilities in China have gradually resumed operation starting from the late May, they remained closed for the most of this quarter due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Franchise services revenues also decreased due to the slow-down of play-and-learn franchise expansion and lower revenue generated from franchisees as the vast majority of the franchised facilities have just resumed operation since the end of May.

Products revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $1.2 million, compared with $5.4 million for the same quarter of 2019. The decrease was due to a significant decrease in the amount of merchandise sold through the Company's franchise network as the franchisees' facilities are still in the warm-up period as they have just resumed operation during the late of this quarter.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2020 was $22.3 million, a 46.4% decrease from $41.6 million for the same quarter of 2020. Cost of revenues for services for the second quarter of 2020 was $21.8 million, compared with $38.8 million for the same quarter of 2019. The decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in the direct cost as those facilities remained temporarily closed during the most of the quarter and various cost management steps have been taken by the Company in response to Covid-19, such as reducing labor cost and discretionary spending, especially for business initiatives facing more serious negative impact in the near term. Cost of products revenues for the second quarter of 2020 was $0.6 million, compared with $2.8 million for the same quarter of 2019. The decrease was generally in line with the decrease in products revenues.

As a result of the foregoing, gross loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $9.5 million, compared with gross profit of $11.9 million for the same quarter of 2019.

The decrease in G&A expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses was primarily driven by the decrease in G&A expenses in China as a result of more efforts made by the Company on cost control and reducing discretionary spending to cope with the Covid-19 outbreak. The share-based compensation expenses included in G&A expenses were $0.8 million for the quarter.

Operating Income/loss

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $14.9 million, compared with $5.3 million of operating income for the same quarter last year.

Basic and diluted net loss per American depositary share ("ADS") attributable to ordinary shareholders of RYB for the second quarter of 2020 were $0.46 and $0.46, respectively, compared with basic and diluted net income per ADS of $0.11 and $0.10, respectively for the second quarter of 2019.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $48.3 million, a decrease from $68.7 million as of December 31, 2019. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents balances was mainly due to the operating cash outflow of $19.0 million during the first half of 2020 as a result of the disruption of the pandemic.

First Six Months of 2020 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the first six months of 2020 were $30.1 million, compared with $87.8 million for the same period of 2019.

Services revenues for the first six months of 2020 were $28.4 million, compared with $80.0 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to decreased tuition fees as the Company began the temporary closures of all facilities in China beginning in late January as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak, which remained suspended of operation for the most of the first half of 2020. Franchise services revenues also decreased owing to the slow-down of play-and-learn franchise expansion and lower revenue generated from franchisees due to the impact of the Covid-19 as a vast majority of franchised facilities have started to resume operation since the end of May 2020.

Products revenues for the first six months of 2020 were $1.7 million, compared with $7.8 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was due to a significant decrease in the amount of merchandise sold through the Company's franchise network as the franchisees' facilities were temporarily closed during most of the first half of 2020.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the first six months of 2020 was $51.2 million, compared with $74.0 million for the first six months of 2019. Cost of revenues for services for the first six months of 2020 was $50.4 million, compared with $70.0 million for the same period of 2019. The decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in the direct cost of those facilities which were temporarily closed during the first half of 2020, stringent cost control measures and certain operational strategy adjusted by the Company, such as reducing resource allocation to the initiatives facing more challenges in the near term. Cost of products revenues for the first six months of 2020 was $0.8 million, compared with $4.0 million for the same period last year.

Excluding share-based compensation expenses, G&A expenses were $9.5 million for the first six months of 2020, compared with $9.0 million for the same period of 2019. The increase in G&A expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses was primarily due to the G&A expenses incurred in directly operated facilities in Singapore that were acquired during the second quarter of 2019. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in G&A expenses as a result of stringent cost control measures carried out in China.

Impairment loss on goodwill was $8.5 million for the first half of 2020, compared to nil for the same period last year. Due to the impact of COVID-19 on operations and financial results, the Company concluded that an impairment indicator existed at the end of the first quarter and the fair value of its certain reporting units, primarily those with new initiatives, were less than their carrying value. As a result of these impairment assessments, the Company determined that there was an impairment loss on goodwill of $8.5 million.
