Second Quarter of Fiscal 2018 Financial Results

REVENUES. Revenues increased by 27.4% to RMB234.6 million ($35.3 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 from RMB184.1 million in the prior year period. The increase was mainly driven by the strong growth in new subscribers and the Company's enlarged total subscriber base.

Revenues generated from processing fees and other services in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 increased by 33.9% to RMB154.1 million ($23.2 million) from RMB115.1 million in the prior year period. 23,647 new subscriber sign-ups were recorded during the reporting quarter compared to 18,037 new subscribers in the prior year period. Revenues generated from processing fees accounted for 65.7% of total revenues compared to 62.5% in the prior year period.

The accumulated subscriber base as of September 30, 2017 was 620,6801. Storage fee revenues accounted for 34.3% of total revenues compared to 37.5% in the prior year period.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 increased to RMB188.9 million ($28.4 million), a 30.2% increase from RMB145.1 million in the prior year period. Benefiting from economies of scale, gross margin was 80.5%, up from 78.8% in the prior year period.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased by 39.4% to RMB76.3 million ($11.5 million). The increase in sales and marketing expenses was reduced by slower growth in general and administrative expenses which resulted in operating margin expansion from 29.7% to 32.5%. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter amounted to RMB12.4 million ($1.9 million), similar to the same period last year. Share-based compensation expense for the second quarter amounted to RMB20.1 million ($3.0 million) as compared to RMB15.5 million in the prior year period. Various sales and marketing expenses, excluding sales and marketing related share-based compensation expense, experienced an increase from the prior year period. As a result, operating income before depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense grew at a flatter pace of 31.2% to RMB108.7 million ($16.3 million).2

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses was RMB3.7 million ($0.6 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to RMB2.4 million in the prior year period.

During the quarter, the Company continued to motivate its front line sales forces by stepping up performance incentives while escalating marketing and promotion activities. As a result, staff costs and promotion expenses continued to rise. However, sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues were kept in check at 23.9%, which was similar to the fiscal year 2017 full-year average.

General and Administrative Expenses. During the reporting quarter, the Company continued to closely monitor its general and administrative expenses. As a result, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues declined from 26.2% during the same quarter last year to 22.5% in the reporting quarter. In nominal value, general and administrative expenses increased from RMB48.3 million in the same period last year to RMB52.8 million ($7.9 million), and the increase was mainly driven by an increase in share-based compensation expense.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE COMPANY'S SHAREHOLDERS. As a result of an increase in operating income and the absence of interest expense, income before income tax for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 increased significantly to RMB83.2 million ($12.5 million) from RMB29.9 million in the prior year period. Income tax expense for the second quarter was RMB14.5 million ($2.2 million) compared to RMB12.6 million in the prior year period.

For the first half of fiscal year 2018, total revenues increased by 28.5% to RMB458.8 million ($69.0 million) from RMB357.1 million in the prior year period.

Revenues from processing fees and storage fees grew by 35.6% and 16.8%, respectively. Gross profit increased by 31.3% to RMB368.4 million ($55.4 million) from RMB280.6 million in the prior year period.

1 During the three months and six months ended September 30, 2017, 23,647 and 46,170 new subscribers were recruited, respectively. The Company reclassified 142 and 530 private cord blood units as donated cord blood units during the three months and six months ended September 30, 2017 after the Company determined that the recoverability of these prior private cord blood banking subscribers was low. Therefore, the Company terminated their subscription 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 620,680 as of September 30, 2017.


2 See exhibit 3 of this press release for a reconciliation of operating income to exclude the non-cash items related to the depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expenses to the comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").


3 The reported operating income for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017included the following:

(i)

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017 were RMB12.6 million and RMB12.4 million ($1.9 million). Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017 were RMB25.1 million and RMB25.1 million ($3.8 million); and

(ii)



As of September 30, 2017, a total of 7,300,000 restricted share units ("RSUs") were issued and outstanding under the Company's RSU scheme, subject to certain performance conditions. Share-based compensation expenses related to this RSU scheme were RMB15.5 million and RMB20.1 million ($3.0 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017. Share-based compensation expenses related to this RSU scheme were RMB30.6 million and RMB16.6 million ($2.5 million) for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017.


4 Out of 7,300,000 RSUs issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017, 7,080,000 ordinary shares ("Shares") were issued and deposited into a trust sponsored and funded by the Company ("Trust"), and will be transferred to respective executives, directors and key employees (or their designated nominees) under the Company's RSU scheme when the performance conditions are met. The Trust facilitates the granting (and subsequent vesting) of incentive RSUs and holds such Shares for the benefit of such executives, directors and key employees as a class. Taking into account of such Shares, in addition to 113,524,742 outstanding shares (73,003,248 outstanding shares for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016), basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share would be RMB0.20 and RMB0.56 ($0.08) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share would be RMB0.40 and RMB1.15 ($0.17) for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

GAAP results for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2017 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.
