線上和青少英語培訓業務的增長推動了注冊學生人數
公司利(li)用重新開放教育(yu)中心(xin)提(ti)(ti)供(gong)的交叉銷售機會帶動線(xian)上(shang)和青少英語培訓業務(wu)的增長(chang)勢頭,從(cong)而提(ti)(ti)高了(le)該(gai)季度整體(ti)學生(sheng)入(ru)學率。
截至2020年9月(yue)30日,線(xian)上(shang)課程的(de)注冊用戶(hu)數量同比增加(jia)了54%,至171萬(wan)名注冊用戶(hu)。 同時,公司發現(xian),無論是在線(xian)下(xia)教育中心還(huan)是線(xian)上(shang)學習(xi)平臺,青(qing)少英語(yu)教學客戶(hu)重新報讀的(de)速(su)度都比可支(zhi)配收(shou)入受到新冠(guan)肺炎疫情影(ying)響的(de)成年客戶(hu)更(geng)快(kuai)。
這些積極趨勢緩解了新(xin)冠肺炎疫(yi)情對(dui)線下入(ru)學(xue)率(lv)的(de)部(bu)分負(fu)面影響,2020年第三季度(du)的(de)整體學(xue)生入(ru)學(xue)人數同比(bi)下降(jiang)了46 %,而2020年前9個(ge)月則下降(jiang)了53 %。
2020年(nian)第(di)三季(ji)度(du)的總(zong)收現同比下降49%至2.288億元(yuan)人(ren)民幣(約3,370萬美(mei)元(yuan))(2019年(nian)第(di)三季(ji)度(du):4.457億元(yuan)人(ren)民幣),但(dan)較2020年(nian)第(di)二季(ji)度(du)增長了(le)42%。
2020年第三季度青少英(ying)語培(pei)訓(xun)業(ye)務的(de)收(shou)現比(bi)上(shang)一季度增(zeng)長了89%,而線上(shang)英(ying)語培(pei)訓(xun)業(ye)務的(de)總(zong)收(shou)現同比(bi)上(shang)升了22%。
2020年的前9個月,總收現同比下降56%至5.142億元(yuan)(yuan)人(ren)民幣(約7,570萬(wan)美(mei)元(yuan)(yuan))(2019年前9個月:11.604億元(yuan)(yuan)人(ren)民幣)。
線下業務網絡全面運營
公司于第(di)三季度繼續根據(ju)適(shi)用的法規指引逐步(bu)重開線下(xia)教育中(zhong)心(xin)(xin),截至本業(ye)績發布之日,美(mei)聯教育旗(qi)下(xia)123間線下(xia)教育中(zhong)心(xin)(xin)已(yi)全部(bu)投入運營(ying)。線下(xia)教育中(zhong)心(xin)(xin)的運營(ying)模式仍需遵(zun)守持續的社(she)交隔離措施和清潔要求,以確(que)保高衛生水平。
持續的產品創新
美聯(lian)教育持續投資(zi)于產品開發,最近(jin)更在其(qi)線下和線上平臺上推(tui)出了多款新產品。包括兩種(zhong)新語(yu)言(日語(yu)、西班牙(ya)語(yu)和韓語(yu);西班牙(ya)語(yu)和韓語(yu)課程(cheng)將在12月(yue)推(tui)出)的培訓(xun)課程(cheng)、K12青(qing)少教育服務(wu)以及面向中(zhong)學生(sheng)的“比(bi)高(gao)”應試培訓(xun)。
通過精簡運營提高效率
在新冠肺炎疫(yi)情(qing)期(qi)間,公(gong)司積極節(jie)省(sheng)運營成本,力爭在每年(nian)(nian)(nian)減(jian)少(shao)(shao)(shao)約1.8億元(yuan)(yuan)人民幣(約2,650萬(wan)(wan)美元(yuan)(yuan))開支。此外,公(gong)司重新協商了旗下(xia)自營教(jiao)育中心(xin)的(de)70份租(zu)(zu)賃合同(tong)(約占總租(zu)(zu)賃合同(tong)的(de)40%),并關(guan)閉了22間成人英語教(jiao)學(xue)中心(xin),從而將資源重新部署到(dao)青(qing)少(shao)(shao)(shao)英語教(jiao)學(xue)和(he)線上英語教(jiao)學(xue)部門。因此,2020年(nian)(nian)(nian)第三季度的(de)凈虧(kui)損將按季大幅減(jian)少(shao)(shao)(shao)至約3,970萬(wan)(wan)元(yuan)(yuan)人民幣(約580萬(wan)(wan)美元(yuan)(yuan))(2020年(nian)(nian)(nian)第二(er)季度的(de)凈虧(kui)損為9,340萬(wan)(wan)元(yuan)(yuan))。相關(guan)的(de)節(jie)流(liu)措施將繼續(xu)進行,公(gong)司預期(qi)在2021年(nian)(nian)(nian)初(chu)實現更(geng)(geng)精(jing)簡的(de)成結構,并在線下(xia)和(he)線上以及(ji)成人和(he)青(qing)少(shao)(shao)(shao)年(nian)(nian)(nian)客戶群體之間實現更(geng)(geng)均衡的(de)收入組合。
財務業績
收入
2020年(nian)第三季度(du),公司收入(ru)為2.977億元(yuan)人民(min)幣(bi)(bi)(約4,380萬美元(yuan)),同(tong)比(bi)下降(jiang)29.6%(2019年(nian)第三季度(du)為4.229億元(yuan)人民(min)幣(bi)(bi)),但環比(bi)增長57.3%(2020年(nian)第二季度(du)為1.893億元(yuan)人民(min)幣(bi)(bi))。2020年(nian)前三季度(du)錄得收入(ru)6.686億元(yuan)人民(min)幣(bi)(bi)(約9,850萬美元(yuan)),與(yu)2019年(nian)同(tong)期(10.95億元(yuan)人民(min)幣(bi)(bi))相比(bi)下降(jiang)了(le)38.9%,主(zhu)要是受新冠疫情肺炎的(de)不利影(ying)響。
營業成本
公司的營業(ye)成(cheng)本主要包括員工成(cheng)本、物業(ye)支出(chu)、折舊(jiu)和攤銷,以及(ji)咨詢費(fei)、與外籍教(jiao)師(shi)相關的行政(zheng)費(fei)用和教(jiao)材費(fei)用等其他成(cheng)本支出(chu)。
2020年(nian)第三(san)季(ji)度(du)(du),營(ying)業成本(ben)同比下降(jiang)13.4%至1.718億(yi)元人民(min)(min)幣(bi)(bi)(bi)(約(yue)2,530萬美元)(2019年(nian)第三(san)季(ji)度(du)(du)為(wei)1.985億(yi)元人民(min)(min)幣(bi)(bi)(bi)),環比增長26.6%(2020年(nian)第二季(ji)度(du)(du)為(wei)1.357億(yi)元人民(min)(min)幣(bi)(bi)(bi))。2020年(nian)前三(san)季(ji)度(du)(du)的(de)營(ying)業成本(ben)從2019年(nian)同期的(de)5.588億(yi)元人民(min)(min)幣(bi)(bi)(bi)降(jiang)至4.526億(yi)元人民(min)(min)幣(bi)(bi)(bi)(約(yue)6,670萬美元),這(zhe)主要(yao)歸功于(yu)有(you)效的(de)成本(ben)管理措施。
毛利
2020年第(di)三(san)季(ji)(ji)度(du),公司毛利潤同比下降43.9%至1.259億(yi)元人(ren)民(min)(min)幣(bi)(約(yue)1,850萬(wan)美元)(2019年第(di)三(san)季(ji)(ji)度(du)為(wei)2.244億(yi)元人(ren)民(min)(min)幣(bi)),但由于新(xin)冠疫(yi)情相關(guan)限制的解除使經(jing)營條件(jian)大幅改善,毛利潤環(huan)比增長了134.9%(2020年第(di)二季(ji)(ji)度(du)為(wei)5,360萬(wan)人(ren)民(min)(min)幣(bi))。受新(xin)冠疫(yi)情的負面影響,公司2020年前三(san)個季(ji)(ji)度(du)的毛利潤從2019年同期的5.362億(yi)元人(ren)民(min)(min)幣(bi)降至2.16億(yi)元人(ren)民(min)(min)幣(bi)(約(yue)3,180萬(wan)美元)。
公司(si)毛利率在2020年第三季度下降了(le)11個百分點(dian),從2019年同(tong)期的(de)53.1%降至42.3%,但環比(bi)增(zeng)長49.4%(2020年第二季度為28.3%)。
運營費用
2020年(nian)(nian)第三(san)季(ji)度(du)的(de)銷(xiao)(xiao)售(shou)和(he)營銷(xiao)(xiao)費(fei)用從2019年(nian)(nian)第三(san)季(ji)度(du)的(de)7,330萬元(yuan)人(ren)民(min)(min)幣降至8,540萬元(yuan)人(ren)民(min)(min)幣(約(yue)1,260萬美(mei)元(yuan)),同(tong)比(bi)下降13.8%。2020年(nian)(nian)前9個月的(de)銷(xiao)(xiao)售(shou)和(he)營銷(xiao)(xiao)費(fei)用為2.248億元(yuan)人(ren)民(min)(min)幣(約(yue)3,310萬美(mei)元(yuan)),較(jiao)2019年(nian)(nian)同(tong)期(3.233億元(yuan)人(ren)民(min)(min)幣)有(you)所下降,這主要是由于(yu)線下教育中心(xin)暫時關閉,導致營銷(xiao)(xiao)活動減少。
2020年第三(san)季度的研(yan)發費(fei)用同(tong)比減少(shao)19.9%至630萬(wan)(wan)元(yuan)人(ren)民(min)幣(bi)(約90萬(wan)(wan)美(mei)元(yuan)),2019年第三(san)季度為790萬(wan)(wan)元(yuan)人(ren)民(min)幣(bi)。2020年首(shou)三(san)季度的研(yan)發費(fei)用從2019年同(tong)期的2,540萬(wan)(wan)元(yuan)人(ren)民(min)幣(bi)降(jiang)至2,150萬(wan)(wan)元(yuan)人(ren)民(min)幣(bi)(約320萬(wan)(wan)美(mei)元(yuan)),這主(zhu)要歸因于新冠肺炎疫情的限制導致部(bu)分線下研(yan)發活動的減少(shao)。
2020年(nian)(nian)第(di)三季度的一般和行(xing)政(zheng)費用從2019年(nian)(nian)第(di)三季度的7,330萬(wan)元人(ren)民幣(bi)(bi)(bi)增至(zhi)9,400萬(wan)元人(ren)民幣(bi)(bi)(bi)(約(yue)1,380萬(wan)美元)。2020年(nian)(nian)前(qian)9個(ge)月的一般和行(xing)政(zheng)費用同(tong)比(bi)下(xia)降10.6%至(zhi)2.244億元人(ren)民幣(bi)(bi)(bi)(約(yue)3,310萬(wan)美元)(2019年(nian)(nian)前(qian)9個(ge)月為2.564億元人(ren)民幣(bi)(bi)(bi)),主要原(yuan)因是該季度學習中(zhong)心暫時關閉及得益于(yu)公司(si)的成本(ben)控制措(cuo)施。
經營虧損
2020年(nian)(nian)第三季度的經(jing)營虧損為人民(min)幣5,980萬元(yuan)人民(min)幣(約880萬美元(yuan)),而2019年(nian)(nian)第三季度的經(jing)營收入(ru)為4,430萬元(yuan)人民(min)幣。

凈收入/虧損
2020年第三(san)季度的(de)凈(jing)虧損為(wei)3,970萬元人民幣(約580萬美元),而(er)2019年第三(san)季度的(de)凈(jing)收入為(wei)4,190萬元人民幣,2020年第二季度的(de)凈(jing)虧損為(wei)9,340萬元人民幣。
2020年前9個月(yue)的凈虧損為2.348億(yi)元(yuan)人(ren)民幣(約3,460萬美(mei)元(yuan)),而2019年同期為5,960萬元(yuan)人(ren)民幣。
現金流
2020年(nian)(nian)第(di)三季度(du)的經(jing)(jing)營現(xian)金流(liu)(liu)(liu)凈(jing)(jing)(jing)流(liu)(liu)(liu)出(chu)為(wei)6,970萬(wan)(wan)元人(ren)民(min)幣(bi)(約(yue)1,030萬(wan)(wan)美元),而(er)2019年(nian)(nian)第(di)三季度(du)為(wei)經(jing)(jing)營現(xian)金流(liu)(liu)(liu)凈(jing)(jing)(jing)流(liu)(liu)(liu)入5,640萬(wan)(wan)元人(ren)民(min)幣(bi),2020年(nian)(nian)第(di)二(er)季度(du)的經(jing)(jing)營現(xian)金流(liu)(liu)(liu)凈(jing)(jing)(jing)流(liu)(liu)(liu)出(chu)6,990萬(wan)(wan)元人(ren)民(min)幣(bi)。2020年(nian)(nian)前9個月的經(jing)(jing)營現(xian)金流(liu)(liu)(liu)凈(jing)(jing)(jing)流(liu)(liu)(liu)出(chu)2.32億(yi)元人(ren)民(min)幣(bi)(約(yue)3,420萬(wan)(wan)美元),2019年(nian)(nian)同期為(wei)凈(jing)(jing)(jing)流(liu)(liu)(liu)入760萬(wan)(wan)元人(ren)民(min)幣(bi)。
2020年(nian)第三季度的(de)資本支出為360萬(wan)(wan)元人(ren)民(min)幣(bi)(bi)(約50萬(wan)(wan)美元),而2019年(nian)第三季度的(de)資本支出為2,240萬(wan)(wan)元人(ren)民(min)幣(bi)(bi),主(zhu)要受新冠肺(fei)炎疫情影響。
2020年(nian)前9個月的資本(ben)支出為1,230萬元(yuan)人民幣(約180萬美元(yuan)),與去年(nian)同(tong)期(6,960萬元(yuan)人民幣)相比有(you)所下降。
現金及現金等價物
