at each of our learning centers." She continued, "Last year was a
year of reinvention in our non-online degree programs. While

2011, we are confident that after school tutoring and international

expanding the other areas of our business."

strong revenue increases from our online degree programs as well as
from other areas of our business. We will continue to control costs
in 2012 and focus on further bolstering online degree program
revenue. With a strong balance sheet and steady revenue growth from
core business lines, we are well positioned to continue to ramp up
operations in our online and offline tutoring programs, private
schools and international curriculum programs."
Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter
Ended December 31,
2011
Net Revenue
Total net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 was
$19.2 million, a 19.4 percent
increase from $16.0 million in the
corresponding period in 2010.
Net revenue from online degree programs for the fourth quarter
of 2011 was $15.4 million, a 19.8
percent increase over $12.8 million
in the corresponding period in 2010. The increase was primarily due
to the continued expansion of the Company's learning centers
network, as well as organic growth in revenue students enrolled in
online degree programs. Enrollment for 2011 Fall semester online
degree programs was approximately 197,000 revenue students, a 27.9
percent increase from approximately 154,000 revenue students
enrolled in the Fall 2010 semester.
As of December 31 2011, ChinaEdu's
learning centers network was providing recruiting services for 21
universities with 105 operational learning centers, of which 61
were proprietary centers[6] and 44 were contracted centers[7]. This
compares to 97 operational learning centers as of December 31, 2010, of which 54 were proprietary
and 43 were contracted centers.
Net revenue from non-degree programs, including online tutoring
programs, private primary and secondary schools and international
and elite curriculum programs, in the fourth quarter of 2011 was
$3.8 million, a 17.6 percent increase
from $3.2 million in the fourth
quarter of 2010. Of that, approximately $0.4
million was attributable to increased enrollment at our
private school in Anqing.
Cost of Revenue
Total cost of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 was
$8.6 million, an increase of 21.8
percent, from $7.1 million in the
corresponding period of 2010.
Cost of revenue for online degree programs in the fourth quarter
of 2011 was $5.8 million, an increase
of 19.6 percent compared to $4.9
million in the corresponding period of 2010. The increase is
mainly attributable to increased recruiting related costs as well
as spending related to the expansion of the Company's learning
centers network.
Cost of revenue for non-degree programs in the fourth quarter of
2011 was $2.8 million, an increase of
26.5 percent from $2.2 million in the
fourth quarter of 2010. The rise in cost was related to an increase
in staff and rental costs associated with the expansion of
international and elite curriculum programs as well as the further
development of interactive and personalized learning products for
online tutoring programs. There was also a portion related to fixed
asset depreciation and cafeteria expansion costs at the Anqing
private school.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $10.6 million, compared to $9.0 million in the corresponding period of 2010.
Gross margin decreased slightly to 55.1 percent, compared to 56.0
percent for the corresponding period in 2010.
Gross margin for online degree programs remained stable at 62.3
percent. In the future, we expect gross margin for online degree
programs to decrease somewhat as the percentage of total net
revenue contributed by the Company's learning centers network
increases. The learning centers network's sales and service based
model results in a higher cost of sales, whereas the joint venture
model is more operationally driven.
Gross margin for online tutoring programs decreased to 55.7
percent, from 67.1 percent in fourth quarter of 2010, largely due
to increased staff costs associated with the expansion of our
interactive course offerings and the addition of more off-line
personalized tutoring services. Gross margin for private schools
increased to 24.8 percent, compared to 18.1 percent in the
corresponding period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to
strong enrollment at the Anqing School which is seeing economics of
scale.
Gross margin for the international curriculum and elite programs
was negative 20.3 percent for the fourth quarter of 2011. In the
fourth quarter, there were continued increases in staff costs and
rental costs associated with the expansion of new programs in this
division.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $7.8
million in the fourth quarter of 2011, a very slight
increase compared to $7.6 million in
the corresponding period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenue,
total operating expenses decreased to 40.6 percent, compared to
47.1 percent in the corresponding period in 2010. The slight
increase in total operating expense was the result of the
following:
- General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of
2011 were $3.8 million, a decrease of
7.9 percent from $4.2 million in the
corresponding period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenue,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 20.0 percent from
25.9 percent in the same period in 2010. A reduction in certain
staff costs as well as a one-time government subsidy received
resulted in the decrease.
- Selling and marketing expenses were $2.4
million in the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of 28.2
percent compared to $1.9 million in
the corresponding period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenue,
selling and marketing expenses increased to 12.7 percent, up from
11.9 percent in the same period in 2010. The increase in selling
and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to the expansion
of selling and marketing staff and an increase in advertisements
placed for the 101 online tutoring programs as well as an increase
in marketing activities, such as conference attendance and brand
promotion activities across the brands.
- Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of
2011 were $1.5 million, flat with the
corresponding period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenue, the
research and development expense was 7.9 percent in the fourth
quarter of 2011, decreasing from 9.3 percent in the same period of
2010.
- Share-based compensation for the fourth quarter of 2011, which
is allocated to the related cost and operating expenses line items,
remained stable at $0.3
million.
Income from Operations
Income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2011 was
$2.8 million, an increase of 94.8
percent compared to $1.4 million in
the corresponding period of 2010. Operating margin increased to
14.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to 8.9
percent in the corresponding period of 2010.
Adjusted income from operations, a non-GAAP measure defined as
income from operations excluding share-based compensation,
amortization of intangible assets and land use rights, was
$3.2 million for the fourth quarter
of 2011, an increase of 64.7 percent compared to $2.0 million in the corresponding period of
2010.
Adjusted operating margin, a non-GAAP measure defined as the
ratio of adjusted income from operations (non-GAAP) over net
revenue, for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased to 16.9 percent,
compared to 12.3 percent for the corresponding period of 2010.
Interest and Investment Income
Interest and investment income for the fourth quarter of 2011
increased 51.7 percent to $0.4
million, compared to $0.3
million for the corresponding quarter of 2010.
Income Tax Expense
In the fourth quarter of 2011, income tax expense was
$1.2 million and the effective income
tax rate was 37.4 percent. The Company had a higher tax rate in the
fourth quarter of 2011 due to the allowance provided for on
deferred income tax assets, resulting from cumulative historical
losses at certain subsidiaries. The fourth quarter 2011 tax rate
compares to an income tax credit of $1.0
million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The tax credit
enjoyed by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2010 was the result
of one of the Company's subsidiaries being granted "new and high
technology enterprises" status at the end of the fourth quarter of
2010, thus qualifying the Company for a 2010 preferential statutory
tax rate of 15 percent commencing in the fourth quarter of 2010. As
a result, deferred tax liabilities overbooked in the first three
quarters in 2010 were reversed in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling
Interests
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests remained
stable at $1.7 million in the fourth
quarter of 2011, compared to $1.6
million in the corresponding period in 2010.
Net Income Attributable to ChinaEdu
Shareholders
Net income attributable to ChinaEdu, which is net income,
excluding net income attributable to non-controlling interests, was
$0.4 million in the fourth quarter of
2011, representing a decrease of 65.8 percent from $1.1 million in the corresponding period of
2010.
Net income attributable to ChinaEdu per basic and diluted ADS
was $0.024 and $0.022, respectively, for the fourth quarter of
2011, as compared to $0.068 and
$0.062, respectively, for the
corresponding period in 2010.
Adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu (non-GAAP) was
$0.8 million in the fourth quarter of
2011 compared to $1.6 million in the
corresponding period of 2010. Adjusted net margin, a non-GAAP
measure defined as the ratio of adjusted net income attributable to
ChinaEdu (non-GAAP) over net revenue, was 4.2 percent in the fourth
quarter of 2011, compared to 10.0 percent in the corresponding
period of 2010.
Adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu per basic and
diluted ADS (non-GAAP) was $0.052 and
$0.049, respectively, for the fourth
quarter of 2011, compared to $0.100
and $0.092, respectively, in the
corresponding period of 2010.
Deferred Revenue
As of December 31, 2011, deferred
revenue was $21.8 million, consisting
of current deferred revenue in the amount of $19.9 million and non-current deferred revenue in
the amount of $1.9 million. In
general, Fall semester tuition is received during the fourth
quarter but is recognized both in the fourth quarter of the current
year and in the first quarter of the following year. Private school
revenue is received in September, but amortized over 6 or 12 months
while online tutoring program revenue can be received at program
enrollment and is mostly amortized within 12 months.

consisted of cash, demand deposits with original maturity terms of

Fiscal Year 2011 Results
Net Revenue
Total net revenue in 2011 was $69.3
million, an increase of 12.1 percent over $61.8 million in 2010.
Net revenue from online degree programs in 2011 was $55.2 million, a 12.0 percent increase from
$49.3 million in 2010. This increase
was primarily attributable to strong enrollment growth in online
degree programs in 2011, particularly through our learning centers
network. In aggregate, the number of revenue students enrolled in
online degree programs was approximately 356,000 in 2011, a 14.5
percent increase from approximately 311,000 revenue students
enrolled in online degree programs in 2010.
Net revenue from non-online degree programs in 2011 was
$14.1 million, compared to
$12.5 million in 2010. The 12.6
percent increase was primarily attributable to an increase in
student enrollment at the Anqing private school and an increase in
net revenue from 101 online tutoring programs in 2011.
Cost of Revenue
Total cost of revenue in 2011 was $29.5
million, an increase of 25.7 percent from $23.5 million in 2010.
Cost of revenue for online degree programs in 2011 was
$19.7 million, an increase of 21.9
percent compared to $16.2 million in

the expansion of the Company's learning centers network and an
increase in headcount throughout the year to support efforts to
enhance current programs.
Cost of revenue for non-online degree programs in 2011 was
$9.7 million, an increase of 34.0
percent compared to $7.3 million in
2010. The increase was primarily attributable to higher teaching
and recruiting costs related to the expansion of international and
elite curriculum programs to meet market demand for study-abroad
opportunities. The increase was also due to increased staffing
costs and depreciation charges at the Anqing School, as well as
additional headcount required to develop interactive and
personalized learning products for online tutoring programs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for 2011 was $39.8
million, an increase of 3.8 percent compared with
$38.3 million in 2010.
Gross margin in 2011 was 57.4 percent, compared with gross
margin of 62.0 percent in 2010. The slight decrease was primarily
due to increase of staffing and rental costs related to new
business development and the expansion of the learning centers
business.

compared with gross margin for online degree programs of 67.1
percent in 2010.

2011 compared with gross margin for non-online degree programs of
41.9 percent in 2010.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses in 2011 were $29.8 million, a 17.7 percent increase from
$25.3 million in 2010. The increase
was primarily attributable to the following:
- General and administrative expenses in 2011 were $14.9 million, an 11.7 percent increase from
$13.4 million in 2010. With tight
cost control measures enforced throughout 2011, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenue were
21.6 percent, similar to 2010.
- Selling and marketing expenses in 2011 were $8.4 million, a 40.2 percent increase from
$6.0 million in 2010. The increase
was primarily attributable to an increase in advertising expenses
across our non-degree business lines as well as increased sales and
marketing headcount at certain subsidiaries.
- Research and development expenses in 2011 were $6.4 million, representing an 8.6 percent
increase from $5.9 million in 2010.
This increase was primarily attributable to increased headcount and
increased depreciation expenses associated with new research and
development projects for online degree programs as well as new
business initiatives for non-online degree programs.
- Share-based compensation in 2011, which was allocated to the
related cost of revenue and operating expense line items, was
$1.0 million, similar to 2010.

million in 2011, a decrease of 23.3 percent from

million, compared with $2.1

Interests
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was
$6.3 million in 2011, an increase of
7.9 percent compared to $5.9 million
in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the non-controlling
interest impact related to the increase in net income from online
degree programs.

Shareholders
Net income attributable to ChinaEdu was $2.7 million in 2011, representing a decrease of
57.2 percent from $6.2 million in
2010. Net margin was 3.9 percent in 2011, compared to 10.1 percent

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
information presented in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles in the United
States of America ("GAAP"), the Company uses non-GAAP
measures of income from operations and net income attributable to
ChinaEdu, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude
certain non-cash items of share-based compensation and amortization
of intangible assets and land use rights. These non-GAAP financial
measures are provided to enhance the investors' overall
understanding of the Company's current and past financial
performance in on-going core operations as well as prospects for
the future. These measures should be considered in addition to
results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, but should
not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.
Management considers the non-GAAP information as important measures
internally and therefore deems it important to provide all of this
information to investors.
