Financial Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2018
Net Revenues
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, TAL reported net revenues of US$321.9 million, representing a 65.0% increase from US$195.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The increase was mainly driven by an increase in total student enrollments, which increased by 62.2% to approximately 1,047,760 from approximately 646,050 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in total student enrollments was driven primarily by the growth of enrollments in the small class offerings and online courses.
Operating Costs and Expenses
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, operating costs and expenses were US$293.7 million, a 65.0% increase from US$178.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Non-GAAP operating costs and expenses, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, were US$283.0 million, a 66.8% increase from US$169.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.
Cost of revenues increased by 68.8% to US$169.6 million from US$100.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The increase in cost of revenues was mainly due to an increase in rental costs and teacher compensation. Non-GAAP cost of revenues, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, increased by 68.8% to US$169.6 million, from US$100.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by 80.2% to US$43.5 million from US$24.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, increased by 81.4% to US$42.3 million, from US$23.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The increase of selling and marketing expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 was primarily a result of a rise in the compensation to sales and marketing staff to support a greater number of programs and service offerings compared to the year-ago period, as well as more marketing promotion activities on both brand enhancement and consumer experience.
General and administrative expenses increased by 50.9% to US$80.6 million from US$53.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to an increase of the number of our general and administrative personnel compared to the year-ago period and a rise in compensation to our general and administrative personnel. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, increased by 55.2% to US$71.1 million, from US$45.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.
Total share-based compensation expenses allocated to the related operating costs and expenses increased by 27.3% to US$10.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 from US$8.4 million in the same period of fiscal year 2017.

Other (Expense) / Income
Other income was US$6.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, compared to other expense of US$15.1 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Other income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 was mainly due to a gain from fair value change of an investment.
3 |
Impairment Loss on Long-term Investments
Impairment loss on long-term investments was US$0.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, mainly due to the other-than-temporary declines in the value of long-term investments in several investees.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was US$8.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, compared to US$4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The increase was mainly due to increase in income before provision for income tax and loss from equity method investments.
Net Income Attributable to TAL Education Group
Net income attributable to TAL increased by 117.5% to US$28.8 million from US$13.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Non-GAAP net income attributable to TAL, which excluded share-based compensation expenses, increased by 82.5% to US$39.5 million, from US$21.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 were US$29.6 million, an increase of US$16.9 million from US$12.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The increase was mainly due to leasehold improvements and the purchase of servers, computers, software systems and other hardware for the Company's teaching facilities and mobile network research and development.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments
As of May 31, 2017, the Company had US$719.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and US$398.2 million of short-term investments, compared to US$470.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and US$229.5 million of short-term investments as of February 28, 2017.

Business Outlook
Based on the Company's current estimates, total net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 are expected to be between US$428.4 million and US$433.8 million, representing an increase of 58% to 60% on a year-over-year basis. If not including the impact from the recent depreciation of RMB against the U.S. Dollar, the projected revenue growth rate is expected to be in the range of 61% to 63% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018.
These estimates reflect the Company's current expectation, which is subject to change.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating its business, TAL considers and uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC as supplemental metrics to review and assess its operating performance: non-GAAP operating costs and expenses, non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income attributable to TAL, non-GAAP basic and non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS. To present each of these non-GAAP measures, the Company excludes share-based compensation expenses. 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. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release.
TAL believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. TAL 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 TAL's historical performance and liquidity. TAL computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and from period to period. TAL 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 measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the Company's business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

Exhibit 99.2
TAL Education Group Announces ADS Ratio Change
BEIJING, July 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TAL Education Group ("TAL" or the "Company") (NYSE: TAL), a leading K-12 after-school tutoring services provider in China, today announced that it will change its American depositary share ("ADS") to Class A common share ("Share") ratio from one (1) ADS representing two (2) Shares to three (3) ADSs representing one (1) Share. The Company will file an amendment to its registration statement on Form F-6 and a registration statement on Form F-6 (collectively, the "Form F-6") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to reflect the change in the ADS ratio. The Company anticipates that the change in the ADS ratio will be effective on August 16, 2017, subject to the SEC having declared the Form F-6 to be effective on or before that date.
Holders of TAL ADSs of record as of the close of business on August 8, 2017 will receive five (5) additional ADSs for every one ADS held on that date. For TAL's ADS holders, this ratio change will have the same effect as a 6-for-1 ADS split.
The ADS ratio change will have no impact on TAL's underlying Shares. Furthermore, no action by ADS holders is required to effect the ratio change.
