CH Chan's questions to Gaotu Techedu Inc (GOTU) leadership • Q2 2024
Question
CH Chan from CLSA requested more color on the Q3 revenue growth guidance, asking for a breakdown between online and offline businesses and by specific business segment.
Answer
CFO Nan Shen clarified why the Q3 revenue growth guidance (30.5%-53.0%) appears lower than the H1 gross billings growth (67.7%). She cited two factors: a calendar effect with one less weekend in September impacting revenue by ~5%, and special pricing for summer courses that boosted Q3 gross billings but defers the corresponding revenue recognition to Q4. She also confirmed that offline revenue is not yet significant enough to be disclosed separately.
