2 Adjusted net income (loss) represents net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses.

Mr. Andy Liu, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, "The COVID outbreak in China in the fourth quarter 2022 caused significant delays in the bidding and delivery processes of our projects, which in turn affected our revenue and financial results in the quarter. However, we responded quickly by adapting our product offerings for alternative distribution channels and payment structure to remain agile under the new environment."

"Despite the environment, we are pleased to see significant progress since the last quarter. On March 23, 2023, the Company was officially awarded a new educational digital transformation project based on smart-pen and intelligent homework in Shanghai Minhang District with a contract value of RMB 116 million. This project clearly illustrates the industry recognition for our teaching and learning SaaS offering, which has an outstanding ability to facilitate daily teacher and student use on a mass scale. This ability is rooted in our deep understanding of classroom and homework scenarios, accumulated AI technology and data insights, as well as smooth online-offline integration."

Mr. Michael Du, Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Company commented, "The delay in the bidding and delivery process of several of our projects significantly affected the revenue recognized in the fourth quarter and thus our overall financial performance. However, such fluctuation in revenue are inevitable during the early stage of our business development, especially given the external environment."

------

"Nevertheless, we are pleased to report that our continuous cost and expense reduction measures have allowed us to significantly reduce our net loss in 2022, despite the termination of our legacy K-12 after-school online tutoring operation which accounted approximately 95% of our revenue in the past. With China's economy recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are confident the latest awarded project is another important milestone in the Company's continuous transformation into new business strategies."

**<u>Non-GAAP Financial Measures</u>**

17EdTech's management uses adjusted net income (loss) as a non-GAAP financial measure to gain an understanding of 17EdTech's comparative operating performance and future prospects.

Adjusted net income (loss) represents net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and such adjustment has no impact on income tax.

Adjusted net income (loss) is used by 17EdTech's management in their financial and operating decision-making as a non-GAAP financial measure; because management believes it reflects 17EdTech's ongoing business and operating performance in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. 17EdTech's management believes that such non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating 17EdTech's operating performance in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. Specifically, 17EdTech believes the non-GAAP measure provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain charges that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results.

------

The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations. It does not include all items of income and expense that affect 17EdTech's income from operations. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measure is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and, with respect to the non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain items under GAAP, does not reflect any benefit that such items may confer to 17EdTech. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering 17EdTech's financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

**<u>Exchange Rate Information</u>**

The Company's business is primarily conducted in China and all of the revenues are denominated in Renminbi ("RMB"). However, periodic reports made to shareholders will include current period amounts translated into U.S. dollars ("USD" or "US$") using the exchange rate as of balance sheet date, for the convenience of the readers. Translations of balances in the consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, change in shareholders' deficit and cash flows from RMB into USD as of and for the three months and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 are solely for the convenience of the readers and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00=RMB6.8972 representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on December 31, 2022. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on December 31, 2022, or at any other rate.
