Due to strong demand for professional training services and the early timing of Chinese spring festivals, we also opened 7 new learning centers and entered into three new cities in the fourth quarter of 2016. We believe we have laid a solid foundation to drive sustained growth in 2017," said Mr. Shaoyun Han, Tarena's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"We are particularly pleased with the progress we made in kid education, which is another exciting initiative in 2016 to leverage our core competency and resources, so as to expand our course offerings as well as target demographics. After one year of operation, we have launched three kid education programs in computer programming, robotics and digital arts (including 3D printing) under the new brand name Tongcheng, Tongchuang and Tongmei. By the end of December 2016, we had successfully enrolled 2,354 students in kid courses. "Mr. Han continued, "As computer technology is going to become a basic skill globally that people need to learn, STEM education, defined as a problem-based approach that combines science, technology, engineer and mathematics and brings more creative and independent-thinking to younger learners, is now stirring a craze across China. While more and more kids are prepared to have a head start in STEM learning, we believe it will gradually become an important pillar for our whole business in future. "

Mr. Yuduo Yang, Tarena's Chief Financial Officer, added, "alongside the robust revenue and student enrollment growth, we are also encouraged to see the significant year-over-year improvement in profitability. Our operating margin in 2016 increased by 116 basis points year-over-year while non-GAAP operating margin increased by 266 basis points year-over-year. The expansion of our operating margin was primarily driven by the greater business scale, improvement in our employee productivity, optimization in marketing efficiency and effective control in bad debt. Bad debt expenses has been substantially reduced to RMB33.6 million in 2016, compared with RMB63.1 million in 2015. Moving forward, we are confident that we will continue to deliver enhanced value for our shareholders by executing on our objective to drive sustainable growth and implementing strategic priority to further improve our operational efficiency in the long run."

Fourth Quarter 2016 Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues increased by 22.0% to RMB464.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, from RMB380.3 million in the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to increased course enrollments and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the standard tuition fees.

Total course enrollments in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased by 18.9% to 27,897, from 23,466 in the same period in 2015, which was driven mainly by the number and the popularity of our course offerings.

The total seat capacity in our learning centers increased by 20.5% from 42,434 as of December 31, 2015 to 51,127 as of December 31, 2016, to cater to the increased demand for our courses.

Cost of revenues grew by 28.5% to RMB123.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, from RMB96.0 million in the same period in 2015. Along with the business expansion, the increase in cost of revenues was mainly due to an increase in personnel cost and welfare expenses resulting from growing number of teaching and advisory staff at our learning centers, rental cost resulting from higher seat capacity, as well as depreciation expenses for the growing number of learning centers.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by 19.8% to RMB340.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, from RMB284.3 million in the same period in 2015.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by 29.6% to RMB138.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, from RMB106.9 million in the same period in 2015. The increase was due to an increase in personnel cost and welfare expenses related to the growth in our selling and marketing headcount, and increased marketing efforts as we expanded our course offerings and network of learning centers.

General and administrative expenses increased by 13.2% to RMB84.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, from RMB74.7 million in the same period in 2015.

Interest income in both periods consisted of interest earned on our cash and time deposits in commercial banks and interest income recognized in relation to our installment payment plan for students. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower bank deposits and interest rate, as well as lower tuition interest income in relation to our installment payment plan for students.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)

Foreign exchange gain was RMB6.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to RMB10.6 million foreign exchange loss in the same period in 2015.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the Company revised its non-GAAP financial measures to exclude gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, in addition to its historical practice of excluding share-based compensation expenses for non-GAAP results.

To supplement Tarena's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Tarena's management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), and basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

Tarena's management believes that excluding the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items identified as non-recurring and infrequent in nature, and non-cash charges. The amount of share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact are not built into the Company's annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which generally will be the basis for information Tarena provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of Tarena's current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income (loss) and net income (loss), excluding the share-based compensation expenses, gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a recurring expense in the Company's business for the foreseeable future, and gain or loss on derivative instruments, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact may recur in the future. In order to mitigate these limitations the Company has provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables include details on the reconciliation between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has presented.
