Conference Call on Thursday, November 12, 2020, at 8 p.m. ET with Accompanying Investor PresentationBEIJING, China, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATA Creativity Global (“ACG” or the “Company”, Nasdaq: AACG), an international educational services company focused on providing quality learning experiences that cultivate and enhance students’ creativity, today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (“Third Quarter 2020” and “Nine Months 2020”, respectively). Third Quarter 2020 Highlights * During Third Quarter 2020, student enrollment was 1,225, of which 666 were enrolled in ACG’s portfolio training programs. Approximately 44,203 credit hours (i.e., the standard unit measuring educational credit for the portfolio training program; each credit hour equates to roughly one hour of time committed) were delivered during Third Quarter 2020. * Third Quarter 2020 net revenues of RMB42.2 million (US$6.2 million), primarily driven by revenues from portfolio training services * Student enrollments and net revenues, particularly those related to the educational travel services business, continued to be impacted by the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) during Third Quarter 2020. * Third Quarter 2020 net income attributable to ACG of RMB19.3 million (US$2.8 million), compared to net loss attributable to ACG of RMB25.2 million in the prior-year period * Nine Months 2020 net revenues of RMB101.3 million (US$14.9 million) * Nine Months 2020 net loss from continuing operations attributable to ACG of RMB33.3 million (US$4.9 million), compared to RMB56.3 million in the prior-year period * RMB111.9 million (US$16.5 million) in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 Management CommentaryMr. Kevin Ma, Chairman and CEO of ACG, stated, “During the third quarter of 2020, enrollment levels within our portfolio training program increased by 50% with credit hours delivered increasing by over 58% from the prior sequential quarter, which we feel is an incredible achievement considering many students continued to pursue their studies via online delivery when most would likely prefer to do so in-person. The public health situation in China continues to improve, and we are pleased that nearly all of our training centers have been able to resume traditional in-person delivery of coursework. ACG’s acquisition of Beijing Huanqiuyimeng Education Consultation Corp. (‘Huanqiuyimeng’) took place at an opportune time as the two companies had substantially assimilated by early 2020 when the pandemic hit, and it played a key role in our successful transitioning of coursework to the online platform. We worked to develop technology systems that would support Huanqiuyimeng’s daily operations and leveraged our leadership in finance, management and analysis, all of which were crucial elements contributing to our successful navigation of challenges created by the pandemic. The unique circumstances of the pandemic necessitated a transition to an online education model, which has proven advantageous for students who require the increased flexibility remote learning provides and for institutions that can now serve a much wider student population thanks to technology. We believe there remains a great deal of runway for growth, and we are optimistic for our future as we head into 2021.”Outlook/Impact of COVID-19Mr. Jun Zhang, President of ACG, stated, “We were pleased to see continued strong enrollment in Third Quarter 2020 as traditional in-person delivery of coursework became increasingly available and many students continued their educations online during the period. The fourth quarter tends to be our busiest time of the year as students are working in earnest to complete their portfolios ahead of year-end application deadlines for entry in the fall of 2021. Given the effects of the pandemic, we anticipate fourth quarter enrollments in our Portfolio Training Program will remain steady. While our educational travel business will continue to be impacted through the remainder of the year, the fall and winter tend to be lighter travel seasons, and we plan to continue offering alternatives to our traditional travel programs, mitigating the overall impact on our business. While the pandemic has undoubtedly overturned the economy and countless lives have been devastated by this disease, our students have shown a great deal of resilience, and we are proud that ACG as an institution has risen to the challenge of continuing to provide the educational opportunities our students seek. We believe we will emerge from the pandemic stronger than before and look forward to supporting our students with additional offerings and improved infrastructure well into the future.”Operating Review Enrollment UpdateACG student enrollment for Third Quarter 2020 was 1,225, of which 666 were enrolled in its portfolio training programs, which consist of time-based programs and project-based programs.A total of 44,203 credit hours were delivered for portfolio training programs during Third Quarter 2020, of which 26,117 credit hours were delivered for time-based programs and 18,086 credit hours were delivered for project-based programs. These courses were delivered either in person through ACG’s nationwide training center network or via online platform.The following is a summary of the credit hours delivered for ACG’s portfolio training programs, for the period beginning July 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020, compared to those for the prior-year period: July 1 – Sept. 30, 2020 July 1 – Sept. 30, 2019 % Change No. of Credit Hours No. of Credit Hours Time-based Program26,117 36,363 (28.2%) Project-based Program18,086 18,868 (4.1%) Total44,203 55,231 (20.0%) During Third Quarter 2020, 559 students were enrolled in ACG’s other programs, which consists of overseas study counseling and foreign language training services enrollments as well as enrollments for other educational services such as some short-term online bootcamp programs and other recently launched background enhancement programs, such as internships in fields like fashion and architectural design.GAAP ResultsNote: Impact of Huanqiuyimeng Acquisition on and Certain Adjustments to the Company’s Financial StatementsFollowing the completion of the Huanqiuyimeng business acquisition whereby Huanqiuyimeng became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in 2019, the financial results presented in this press release incorporate financial contributions from Huanqiuyimeng for Third Quarter 2020 and Nine Months 2020. Please note that the prior-year period comparisons in the below financial reviews include approximately two months of contributions from the Huanqiuyimeng business as control of Huanqiuyimeng transitioned to ACG on August 6, 2019. In addition, the Company has applied acquisition accounting and made purchase price allocation (“PPA”) adjustments to various assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Huanqiuyimeng business acquisition.Third Quarter 2020 Financial ReviewACG’s total net revenues for Third Quarter 2020 were RMB42.2 million (US$6.2 million), compared to RMB40.6 million in the prior-year period. Net revenues for this quarter include a negative adjustment of RMB6.0 million resulting from amortization of the difference between the carrying value of deferred revenues in Huanqiuyimeng’s book and the fair value of deferred revenues assessed from the PPA process applied to the Huanqiuyimeng business acquisition (“PPA Adjustment to Net Revenues”). Revenues from portfolio training programs were RMB34.2 million, or 81.0% of total net revenues, during the period. Revenues from overseas study counselling services, other educational services and the K-12 business were RMB8.0 million, or 19.0% of total net revenues during the period.Gross profit for Third Quarter 2020 was RMB15.8 million (US$2.3 million), compared to RMB14.6 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin was 37.4% during the period, compared 35.9% in the prior-year period. Excluding the PPA Adjustment to Net Revenues stated above, gross margin for Third Quarter 2020 would have been 45.2%.Total operating expenses for Third Quarter 2020 were RMB32.4 million (US$4.8 million), compared to RMB40.8 million in the prior-year period. This decrease was primarily driven by a value-added tax exemption stipulated by the State Authority of Taxation in response to the impact of COVID-19 on the specific industry in which Huanqiuyimeng operates in China in 2020, as well as lower general and administrative costs as a result of reductions in headcount and office space made as part of a general expense savings plan launched in response to COVID-19.Loss from operations for Third Quarter 2020 was RMB16.5 million (US$2.4 million), compared to RMB26.1 million in the prior-year period.Net income attributable to ACG for Third Quarter 2020 was RMB19.3 million (US$2.8 million), compared to a net loss of RMB25.2 million in the prior-year period.For Third Quarter 2020, basic and diluted earnings per common share attributable to ACG were both RMB0.28 (US$0.04), compared to basic and diluted losses per common share attributable to ACG of RMB0.51 for the prior-year period. Basic and diluted earnings per ADS attributable to ACG were both RMB0.56 (US$0.08), compared to basic and diluted losses per ADS attributable to ACG of RMB1.02 in the prior-year period.Nine Months 2020 Financial ReviewACG’s total net revenues for Nine Months 2020 were RMB101.3 million (US$14.9 million), compared to RMB43.6 million in the prior-year period. Net revenues for the period include a negative adjustment of RMB18.0 million resulting from the PPA Adjustment to Net Revenues, as noted above. Revenues from portfolio training programs were RMB72.4 million, or 71.4% of total net revenues, during the period. Revenues from other education services and the K-12 business were RMB28.9 million, or 28.6% of total net revenues during the period.Gross profit for Nine Months 2020 was RMB34.1 million (US$5.0 million), compared to RMB15.0 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin was 33.7% during the period, compared to 34.3% in the prior-year period. Excluding the PPA Adjustment to Net Revenues stated above, gross margin for Nine Months 2020 would have been 43.7%.Total operating expenses for Nine Months 2020 were RMB116.1 million (US$17.1 million), compared to RMB77.3 million in the prior-year period, which included only two months of expenses related to Huanqiuyimeng operations as control transitioned to ACG on August 6, 2019.Loss from continuing operations for Nine Months 2020 was RMB81.5 million (US$12.0 million), compared to RMB61.7 million in the prior-year period as a result of the increased operating expenses, which were partially offset by the increase in gross profit mentioned above.Net loss from continuing operations attributable to ACG for Nine Months 2020 was RMB33.3 million (US$4.9 million), compared to RMB56.3 million in the prior-year period.For Nine Months 2020, basic and diluted losses from continuing operations per common share attributable to ACG were both RMB 0.60 (US$0.09), compared to RMB1.24 for the prior-year period. Basic and diluted losses from continuing operations per ADS attributable to ACG were both RMB 1.20 (US$0.18), compared to RMB2.48 in the prior-year period.Non-GAAP MeasuresAdjusted net income attributable to ACG for Third Quarter 2020, which excludes share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange loss (non-GAAP), was RMB19.7 million (US$2.9 million), compared to adjusted net loss of RMB23.3 million in the prior-year period.Basic and diluted earnings per common share attributable to ACG excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange loss (non-GAAP) for Third Quarter 2020, were RMB0.29 (US$0.04). Basic and diluted earnings per ADS attributable to ACG excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange loss (non-GAAP) for Third Quarter 2020 were RMB0.58 (US$0.08).Please see the note about non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation table at the end of this press release.Other DataThe number of weighted average ADSs used to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per ADS for Third Quarter 2020 was 32.1 million. Each ADS represents two common shares.Balance Sheet HighlightsAs of September 30, 2020, ACG’s cash and cash equivalents were RMB111.9 million (US$16.5 million), working capital deficit was RMB134.9 million (US$19.9 million), and total shareholders’ equity was RMB259.8 million (US$38.3 million); compared to cash and cash equivalents of RMB154.2 million, working capital deficit of RMB81.3 million, and total shareholders’ equity of RMB305.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.Update on Share Repurchase Program In May 2020, ACG’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to US$1.0 million of its issued and outstanding ADSs on the open market and through privately negotiated transactions.

The filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and at ACG’s website at www.atai.net.cn.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release, to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, or changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law.

The translations of RMB amounts for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, into U.S. dollars are included solely for the convenience of readers and have been made at the rate of RMB6.7896 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate as of September 30, 2020, in New York for cable transfers in RMB per U.S. dollar as set forth in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. Such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that rate or any other rate, or to be the amounts that would have been reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).About Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement ACG’s consolidated financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, ACG uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain or loss, and basic and diluted earnings (losses) per common share and ADS excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain or loss.The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. ACG believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information about its performance by excluding share- based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain or loss, which may not be indicative of its operating performance.ACG 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 ACG’s historical performance. ACG computes its non-GAAP financial measures using a consistent method from period to period. ACG believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using non-GAAP net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain or loss and basic and diluted earnings (losses) per common share and per ADS excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange gain or loss is that share-based compensation charges and foreign currency exchange gain or loss have been, and are expected to continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in ACG’s business.Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Comparable GAAP Measures” shown at the end of this news release has more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures used by ACG.For more information on our company, please contact the following individuals:At the Company Investor Relations ATA Creativity Global The Equity Group Inc.
