“RYB firmly supports the governmental strategies and policies related to pre-school education that are being introduced over time. As a participant of the early education industry, we strive to fulfill our corporate responsibilities and deliver products and services that complement public education. We continue to actively follow the policies that aim to better achieving the accessibility of education to young children and to provide better services to families and society,” said Ms. Yanlai Shi, co-founder, director and chief executive officer of RYB. “During the first half of 2021, in response to government’s call for increasing the overall supply of inclusive kindergarten and preschool education, we continued our efforts in expanding the number of classes and enrollment capacity at our facilities without compromising quality and safety. We make efforts to improve the quality of education and teaching through multiple ways and to create a learning environment that fosters independent decision making, collaboration and symbiotic value creation, which we believe supports the healthy, happy and all-rounded development of young children.
“Going through the challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s business operations made a sound recovery in the second quarter of 2021. The recurrences of some COVID-19 cases in some regions during the first half of this year, however, casted some impact on the play-and-learn center operations. Nevertheless, we continue to upgrade our content and curriculum systems with the goal of completing it by the end of the year. With a hands-on approach to support the franchised play-and-learn centers, we remain committed to providing them with operational guidance and course and brand upgrades support to facilitate their operations once they resume normal business. The Company will also actively follow government’s policy and guidance on early childcare, leverage our non-branded early childcare offerings, and empower the development of the industry,” concluded Ms. Shi.
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the second quarter of 2021 were $53.4 million, an increase of 318.1% from $12.8 million for the same quarter of 2020.
Service revenues for the second quarter of 2021 were $51.3 million, an increase of 342.2% from $11.6 million for the same quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to a significant increase in tuition fees revenue, as all of the Company’s directly operated facilities in China were in normal operation in the second quarter of 2021 whereas those facilities, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, just started reopening in late May 2020. The increase in the number of students enrolled at facilities in both China and Singapore also contributed to a higher tuition fees revenue.
Products revenues for the second quarter of 2021 were $2.1 million, compared with $1.2 million for the same quarter of 2020. The increase is due to a significant increase in the amount of merchandise sold through the Company’s franchise network, as the franchisees’ facilities have resumed operation.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2021 was $38.9 million, a 74.2% increase from $22.3 million for the same quarter of 2020. Cost of revenues for services for the second quarter of 2021 was $37.9 million, compared with $21.8 million for the same quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly contributed by increase in the direct cost and staff compensation cost, as the Company’s directly operated facilities have resumed operation. Cost of products revenues for the second quarter of 2021 was $0.9 million, compared with $0.6 million for the same quarter of 2020. The increase was generally in line with the increase in products revenues.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.
EBITDA is defined as net income excluding depreciation, amortization and income tax expenses; adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, income tax expenses, and share-based compensation expenses; adjusted operating income is defined as operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses; adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders is defined as net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses and changes in redeemable non-controlling interest; and adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders are defined as basic and diluted net income per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses and changes in redeemable non-controlling interest.
We believe that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS, help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in income from operations and net income. We believe that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS, provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS, should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical adjusted financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS, presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
