About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses gross billings, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss), each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.
The Company defines gross billings for a specific period as the total amount of cash received for the sale of course offerings in such period, net of the total amount of refunds in such period. The Company’s management uses gross billings as a performance measurement because the Company generally bills its students for the entire course fee at the time of sale of its course offerings and recognizes revenue proportionally as the classes are delivered. For some courses, the Company continues to provide students with 12 months to 36 months access to the pre-recorded audio-video courses after the online live courses are delivered. The Company believes that gross billings provides valuable insight into the sales of its course packages and the performance of its business. As gross billings have material limitations as an analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) exclude share-based compensation expenses. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from 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 the Company’s historical performance. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from 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 table captioned “Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures” set forth at the end of this release.
The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

January 10, 2025By
Tianma, a leading global manufacturer of flat panel displays, is featuring an expanded portfolio of display technologies for the automotive market at CES, West Hall Meeting Rooms – W323, Las Vegas, Nevada, January 7-10. Highlighted OLED and Micro-LED products include: Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display; 3D Instrument Cluster; 12.3″ LTPS Mini-LED InvisiVue™ Display; Integrated Reflective Imaging System (IRIS) Panoramic Head-Up Display; and a new Light Field 3D-HUD.
CHINO, Calif., Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Tianma, a leading global manufacturer of flat panel displays, is featuring an expanded portfolio of display technologies for the automotive market at CES, West Hall Meeting Rooms – W323, Las Vegas, Nevada, January 7-10.
Highlighted OLED and Micro-LED products include: Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display; 3D Instrument Cluster; 12.3″ LTPS Mini-LED InvisiVue™ Display; Integrated Reflective Imaging System (IRIS) Panoramic Head-Up Display; and a new Light Field 3D-HUD.
Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display
Tianma’s Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display, developed in conjunction with Corning, offers unparalleled visual clarity in automotive applications. This innovative true-black display features a unique multi-curvature design, with a left curvature radius of R800mm for optimal driver focus, a middle curvature radius of R1140mm, and a right curvature radius of R2160mm to accommodate the passenger.
The system seamlessly bonds two color-matched 13″ OLED displays to the multi-curve cover glass made possible with Corning® ColdForm™ Technology. The result is a single, continuous screen providing an enhanced visual experience.
Equipped with advanced Stacked Layered OLED Device (SLOD) technology, this display is not only thinner and lighter but also boasts an extended lifespan, making it the perfect choice for modern vehicle interior design.
12.3″ 3D Instrument Cluster
The 12.3″ 3D Instrument Cluster is the industry’s first automotive instrument display screen that employs liquid crystal prism technology to achieve 2D/3D switchable functionality. It is also the first automotive display screen to achieve 500 pixels per inch (PPI). This instrument cluster offers real-time adjustable 3D depth, along with lossless switching between 2D and 3D modes. Additionally, the module adopts Tianma’s own light field rendering technology, providing drivers with a stable, continuous and comfortable 3D visual experience.
12.3″ LTPS High Transmissivity InvisiVue™ Mini-LED
This display features a highly transmissive decorative layer that looks like brushed metal or wood grain in the non-operating state, while the active area of the display is invisible to the user. When the display is turned on, only the image content emerges through the 80% transmissive decorative layer. The combination of a Mini-LED backlight and the high-transmissivity decorative layer yields a high-quality image for improved visual perception and user experience.
Integrated Reflective Imaging System (IRIS) Panoramic-HUD
The IRIS PHUD, independently developed by Tianma with its sophisticated optical path design, precisely projects images to the bottom edge of the vehicle’s windshield. It can adopt a triple-screen or large-size bar-shaped display layout, comprehensively covering the visual range of the driver, the center console area, and the front passenger.
Light Field 3D Head-Up Display (HUD)
The 4.1″ Light Field 3D-HUD is the industry’s first 3D-HUD display product utilizing light field rendering technology. It combines an advanced 3D picture generation unit (PGU) with an augmented reality (AR) HUD platform to provide users with realistic 3D scenes and natural depth perception effects. Compared to traditional 2D images, the 3D-HUD offers a more intuitive and immersive AR experience.
Tianma is hosting visitors at their booth in West Hall Meeting Rooms – W323. More information is also available in the Tianma press kit, accessible online at usa.tianma.com/press
