Management Commentary
Mr. Kevin Ma, Chairman and CEO of ACG, stated, “During Second Quarter 2022, we remained focused on supporting our students in their creative arts studies, particularly those who had to shift to a distance learning delivery method due to local COVID-19 resurgences and subsequent lockdowns. Those restrictions in major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have since been lifted, but our top and bottom line results were impacted by the decreased contributions from our portfolio training and research-based learning services during the period as our training centers in those core cities had to temporarily close in compliance with mandatory lockdown procedures. We did see modest increases in revenues from overseas study counselling service, which gives us confidence that there continues to be strong demand for overseas study opportunities and students are looking to take advantage of these opportunities in the near future. ACG continued to provide quality programs to students while closely monitoring the pandemic situation in China. One of our online offerings, the ACG Overseas Master program, has continued to be well received by participating students since we initially introduced it in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ACG Overseas Master program provides small classes within specialized areas of fine and applied arts, architecture, and industrial and interactive design, all of which are taught by professors from prestigious overseas arts schools including the University of the Arts London, Parsons School of Design and others.”
Outlook
Mr. Jun Zhang, President of ACG, stated, “We continue to strive to provide superior course offerings and support for ACG’s students despite the uncertainties caused by the recent resurgence of COVID-19 in some of our core cities. As the public health situation across the nation gradually improves, ACG and our staff are committed to guiding our students through the upcoming application process this fall and winter as a next step in their creative arts education journey. We plan to continue developing hands-on programs that cater to the interests of our students, including a new series of online courses focused on current topics such as the metaverse and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as well as the on-site learnings tours that feature visits to cultural heritage sites in China. ACG is also working to streamline our organizational structure by integrating full-time teachers in more active roles in internal management including sales, marketing and product development, key areas that drive the Company’s growth that will enable us to seize potential opportunities that may occur in the market. We remain confident in the value we bring to students as a leading provider of creative arts education and are continuously exploring ways in which we can meet the needs of our evolving student population.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Review – GAAP Results
ACG’s total net revenues for Second Quarter 2022 were RMB34.0 million (US$5.1 million), compared to RMB36.8 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to revenue decreases from the portfolio training and research-based learning service businesses caused by local COVID-19 resurgences and subsequent lockdowns in major cities such as Shanghai and Beijing. Revenues from portfolio training programs were RMB26.4 million, or 77.6% of total net revenues, during the period. Revenues from overseas study counselling services, research-based learning services and other educational services were RMB7.6 million, or 22.4% of total net revenues, during the period.

For Second Quarter 2022, basic and diluted losses per common share attributable to ACG were both RMB0.35 (US$0.05), compared to basic and diluted earnings per common share of RMB0.21 for the prior-year period.

The financial information contained in this release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and other filings that ACG has made with the SEC.

Currency Convenience Translation
The Company’s financial information is stated in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the People’s Republic of China. The translations of RMB amounts for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, into U.S. dollars are included solely for the convenience of readers and have been made at the rate of RMB6.6981 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate as of June 30, 2022, 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 Measures
To 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.
