Meten EdtechX Achieves Positive Cash Flow in March 2021

SHENZHEN, China, May 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meten EdtechX Education Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: METX) (“Meten EdtechX” or the “Company”), one of the leading omnichannel English language training (“ELT”) service providers in China, today reported that the Company achieved positive cash flow in March 2021.

The Company’s overall operating cash flow reached RMB8.2 million in March 2021. Particularly, the operating cash flow from offline learning centers was RMB15.59 million, excluding the ABC Junior ELT business which operation was temporarily paused due to policy restrictions. The positive operating cash flow was mainly a result of the increasing gross billing generated by the Company’s offline learning centers which have resumed normal operation and recovered from the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Looking forward, the Company will implement its cash flow optimization strategies. The Company expects to adjust the operating structure by closing poorly performing stores or replacing their teams, increasing the sales of services with high profit margins through optimizing the incentive plan, reducing expenditures of headquarters and regional branches, and improving the efficiency of telemarketing.
