Operating Highlights for the Second Fiscal Quarter Ended November 30, 202 5

Michael Yu, New Oriental's Executive Chairman, commented, "It is encouraging to see an accelerated year over year top line growth of 14.7% in the second fiscal quarter of 2026. Revenues from overseas test preparation increased by approximately 4.1%. In addition, our domestic test preparation business targeting adults and university students grew by approximately 12.8% year over year, followed by a growth of 21.6% year over year for our new educational business initiatives. Our non-academic tutoring courses rolled out in around 60 cities, attracting approximately 1,058,000 student enrollments this quarter. Concurrently, our intelligent learning system and devices were adopted in around 60 cities, with approximately 352,000 active paid users. We will sharpen our focus on our core education business, prioritizing enhanced teaching standards and product quality. Simultaneously, we will continue to optimize our cost structure and operational efficiency to ensure that growth is high-quality, efficient and sustainable. We have also initiated the development of a comprehensive, cross-departmental customer service system. In today's macroeconomic climate, this initiative will boost customer loyalty and retention rate, facilitate cross-departmental upselling, and enhance customer lifetime value – all while reducing customer acquisition costs and marketing expenses. We remain dedicated in elevating our brand influence and creating long-term value for our customers and shareholders.

Chenggang Zhou, New Oriental's Chief Executive Officer, added, "In this fiscal quarter, we executed cautious capacity expansion while carefully balancing revenue growth and operational efficiency. In parallel, we enhanced our OMO (online-merge-offline) teaching system while investing in AI integration across our education ecosystem. We remain driven to embedding AI across existing educational offerings, refining new AI-powered products, and extending AI application to boost operational efficiency and solidify support for our teaching staff and employees. In this fiscal quarter, East Buy strengthened its product development and supply chain, diversifying beyond fresh food and snacks into seafood, healthcare, condiments, and home goods. This expansion enriched its private label portfolio to 801 SPUs, driving sales and profit growth by addressing demand for health and convenience, thereby optimizing the product mix. Concurrently, East Buy initiated offline channel expansion by capitalizing on its brand strength and New Oriental's established network. Building on the demonstrated profitability of smart vending machines in select cities, East Buy plans to continue this rollout with nationwide coverage."

Stephen Zhihui Yang, New Oriental's Executive President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "In addition to accelerating revenue growth, we delivered a significant year over year improvement in our Non-GAAP operating margin. This was primarily driven by enhanced operational efficiency and improved utilization within our educational business. We recorded a quarterly Non-GAAP operating margin of 7.5%, up by 470 basis points compared to the same period last fiscal year. Looking ahead, we remain committed to a disciplined approach on intensifying our cost and efficiency initiatives across all business lines, with the goal of cementing our foundation for sustainable and profitable growth over the long term."

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement New Oriental's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, New Oriental uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, (gain)/loss from fair value change of investments, loss/(gain) from equity method investments, impairment of long-term investments and goodwill, gain on disposals of investments and others, as well as tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments; operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, and impairment of goodwill; operating margin excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, and impairment of goodwill; and basic and diluted net income per ADS and per share excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, loss/(gain) from fair value change of investments, loss/(gain) from equity method investments, impairment of long-term investments and goodwill, gain on disposals of investments and others, as well as tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. 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 tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release.

New Oriental believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding from each non-GAAP measure certain items that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. New Oriental believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to 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 New Oriental's historical performance and liquidity. New Oriental 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 these non-GAAP measures is that they exclude from each non-GAAP measure certain items that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in its 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.

Reconciliation between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu was engaged by the company to conduct limited assurance engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) "Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" ("HKSAE 3000 (Revised)") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA") on the reconciliation of the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2025 and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2025 of the company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") between the accounting policies adopted by the Group of the relevant period in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the "US GAAP") and the International Financial Reporting Standards (the "IFRSs") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (together, the "Reconciliation").

The limited assurance engagement undertaken in accordance with HKSAE 3000 (Revised) involves performing procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

the related adjustments and reclassifications give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
the Reconciliation reflects the proper application of the adjustments and reclassifications to the differences between the Group's accounting policies in accordance with the US GAAP and the IFRSs.

The procedures performed by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu were based on their professional judgment, having regard to their understanding of the management's process on preparing the Reconciliation, nature, business performance and financial position of the Group. Given the circumstances of the engagement, the procedures performed included:

(i) Comparing the "Amounts as reported under US GAAP" as of and for the six months ended November 30, 2025 in the Reconciliation as set out in the Appendix with the financial results as of and for the six months ended November 30, 2025 prepared in accordance with the US GAAP;

(ii) Evaluating the assessment made by the board of directors in identifying the differences between the accounting policies in accordance with the US GAAP and the IFRSs, and the evidence supporting the adjustments and reclassifications made in the Reconciliation in arriving at the "Amounts as reported under IFRSs" in the Reconciliation as set out in the Appendix; and

(iii) Checking the arithmetic accuracy of the computation of the Reconciliation as set out in the Appendix.

The procedures performed by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in this limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. Accordingly, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu do not express a reasonable assurance opinion.

Based on the procedures performed and evidence obtained, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu have concluded that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that:

(i) The "Amounts as reported under US GAAP" as of and for the six months ended November 30, 2025 in the Reconciliation as set out in the Appendix is not in agreement with the financial results as of and for the six months ended November 30, 2025 prepared in accordance with the US GAAP;

(ii) The adjustments and reclassifications made in the Reconciliation in arriving at the "Amounts as reported under IFRSs" in the Reconciliation as set out in the Appendix, do not reflect, in all material respects, the different accounting treatments according to the Group's accounting policies in accordance with the US GAAP and the IFRSs of the relevant period; and

(iii) The computation of the Reconciliation as set out in the Appendix is not arithmetically accurate.

Appendix

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which differ in certain respects from IFRSs. The effects of material differences between the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group prepared under US GAAP and IFRSs are as follows:

Notes

(i) Investments measured at fair value

Under US GAAP, the Group elects measurement alternative to the fair value measurement for the equity securities without readily determinable fair values, under which these investments are measured at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer with the fair value change recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

For investments in investee's shares which are determined to be debt securities, the Group accounts for them as available-for-sale investments when they are not classified as either trading or held-to-maturity investments. Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Realized gains or losses on the sales of these securities are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Under IFRSs, the aforementioned investments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and measured at fair value. Fair value changes of these long-term investments are recognized in profit or loss.

(ii) Share-based compensation

Under US GAAP, the Group recognized as compensation expenses net of forfeitures as they occur using graded vesting method over the requisite service period.

Under IFRSs, the compensation expenses are recognized net of estimated forfeitures using graded vesting method over the requisite service period.

(iii) Lease accounting

Under US GAAP, the amortization of the right-of-use assets and interest expense related to the lease liabilities are recorded together as lease expense to produce a straight-line recognition effect in profit or loss.

Under IFRSs, the amortization of the right-of-use asset is on a straight-line basis while the interest expense related to the lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost.
