17 Education & Technology Group Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results
17 Education & Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: YQ) recently announced unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2024, showcasing its commitment to improving educational technology and operational efficiency.
Financial Highlights for Q2 2024
In the second quarter of 2024, the company reported net revenues of RMB67.5 million (approximately US$9.3 million), a slight decline compared to RMB69.2 million from the same quarter last year.
The gross margin significantly decreased to 16.0%, a drop from 48.3% in the previous year, primarily due to the ongoing shift in project delivery dynamics affecting revenue mix.
Net loss amounted to RMB55.7 million (US$7.7 million), widening from a loss of RMB47.9 million in Q2 2023. The net loss accounted for 82.5% of net revenues, reflecting a need for strategic adjustments in operational expenditures.
Notably, the adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP measurement that excludes share-based compensation, was reported at RMB42.6 million (US$5.9 million), significantly higher than the adjusted loss of RMB28.6 million during the same quarter last year.
First Half Financial Overview
For the first half of 2024, net revenues reached RMB93.0 million ($12.8 million), increasing from RMB78.5 million in H1 2023. Despite the rise in revenues, losses continued to be a dominant narrative:
- Gross margin stood at 22.1%, down from 45.5% year-over-year.
- The net loss for the first six months totaled RMB111.8 million (US$15.4 million), an improvement from RMB140.5 million in H1 2023.
- Adjusted net loss was noted at RMB85.3 million (US$11.7 million), a stark comparison to the previous year’s profits.
Operational Achievements
The company made significant strides in its core Software as a Service (SaaS) business, showcasing a compelling growth of 165% quarter-on-quarter in customer contracts. This growth reflects the increasing demand for innovative educational technology solutions.
Mr. Andy Liu, the company’s Founder and CEO, emphasized the positive impact of their high-quality, data-driven education solutions, stating that they are dedicated to enhancing academic performance within partner schools.
Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Michael Du, noted that efforts to optimize operational efficiency have started to pay off, as operational losses have shown improvement compared to previous periods. Furthermore, adapting to the unique challenges posed by the evolving digital learning landscape has enabled the company to reach a broader audience.
Financial Updates and Future Outlook
As of June 30, 2024, the cash reserves, including cash equivalents and term deposits, totaled RMB410.7 million (US$56.5 million), a decrease from RMB476.7 million at year-end 2023.
