About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating its business, TAL considers and uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC as supplemental metrics to review and assess its operating performance: non-GAAP operating costs and expenses, non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income attributable to TAL, non-GAAP basic and non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS. To present each of these non-GAAP measures, the Company excludes share-based compensation expenses. 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 table captioned “Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures” set forth at the end of this release.

TAL 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. TAL 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 TAL’s historical performance and liquidity. TAL computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and from period to period. TAL 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 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. 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.

Published

on

By

NORTHRIDGE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Thinking Nation, a national 501c3 committed to cultivating thoughtful citizens through the promotion of historical thinking in social studies, today announced Director of Curriculum Annie Jenson will present at the Texas Council for the Social Studies Annual Conference in Round Rock, Texas, on November 1, 2024. This year’s conference theme is “Building Social Studies Literacy”. 

Ms. Jenson’s presentation, “Walking in Their Shoes: The Role of Historical Fiction in Building Empathy and Engagement in Social Studies Education”, is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. CDT. It will delve into the transformative potential of historical fiction in inspiring students to connect with a diverse human experience. Through this presentation, participants will uncover how compelling narratives and vivid characters enable students to step into the shoes of individuals from the past. Attendees will learn practical strategies for integrating historical fiction into the curriculum to spark curiosity, ignite critical thinking, and inspire meaningful connections with history.

“As Texas teachers grapple with the complexities of censorship that threaten inclusive education, my session “Walking in Their Shoes,” aims to support their efforts,” said Ms. Jenson. “I will share actionable strategies and accessible resources for integrating diverse narratives within the limits of their curriculum. Additionally, I will highlight local groups that are ready to assist teachers as they navigate these challenges and advocate for their students.”

Inquiry by the Book: Teaching Historical Fiction with the Inquiry Design Model, a recent publication by the National Council for the Social Studies, co-authored by Kristy A. Brugar and Annie McMahon Whitlock, underscores the importance of historical fiction in education. The book advances the idea that historical fiction not only provides context and perspective but also invites students to critically examine the past, thereby strengthening foundational literacy skills.

Visitors to the TXCSS (Texas) 2024 Annual Conference can meet Ms. Jenson and further explore Thinking Nation’s innovative curriculum and platform at exhibit booth #405.
