"Baidu once again posted solid growth in 2012 amidst challenging macro conditions," said Robin Li, chairman and chief executive officer of Baidu. "Similar to the early days of the Internet, this is a time of boundless innovation, creativity and opportunity in our industry. We are at the heart of the Internet in China and we're excited to embrace and lead the next stage of mobile- and cloud-centric Internet growth."

Mr. Li continued, "We made encouraging progress in 2012, integrating Baidu's superior search and search-related products and functions, like maps and image recognition, into our offering. In 2013 we will continue to enhance functionality, introduce new products, and step up efforts to push our products to users."

Jennifer Li, Baidu's chief financial officer, commented, "Revenue growth and profitability maintained a healthy trajectory in 2012 as we continued to invest aggressively in developing a comprehensive ecosystem. In December, we completed the iQiyi deal and consolidated its financials in our fourth quarter results. In 2013, we'll be both stepping up our investments and increasing sales and marketing efforts to ensure Baidu captures the huge opportunities ahead."

Fourth Quarter 2012 Results

Baidu reported total revenues of RMB6.335 billion ($1.017 billion) for the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a 41.6% increase from the corresponding period in 2011.

Online marketing revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 were RMB6.288 billion ($1.009 billion), representing a 40.8% increase from the corresponding period in 2011. Baidu had about 406,000 active online marketing customers[3] in the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a 30.5% increase from the corresponding period in 2011 and a 4.1% increase from the previous quarter. Revenue per online marketing customer for the fourth quarter of 2012 was approximately RMB15,500 ($2,488), a 7.6% increase from the corresponding period in 2011 and a 3.1% decrease from the previous quarter.

Traffic acquisition cost (TAC) as a component of cost of revenues was RMB606.8 million ($97.4 million), representing 9.6% of total revenues, as compared to 7.9% in the corresponding period in 2011 and 8.6% in the third quarter of 2012. The increase mainly reflects increased contextual ads contributions and hao123 promotions through our network.

Bandwidth costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB337.2 million ($54.1 million), representing 5.3% of total revenues, compared to 4.3% in the corresponding period in 2011. Depreciation costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB317.5 million ($51.0 million), representing 5.0% of total revenues, compared to 4.8% in the corresponding period in 2011. These increases were mainly due to an increase in network infrastructure capacity and the consolidation of iQiyi into the Company's financial statements.

Content costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB120.3 million ($19.3 million), representing 1.9% of total revenues, compared to 0.6% in the corresponding period in 2011. Content costs mainly consist of amortization of licensed content costs from copyright owners or content distributors, and costs of self-produced content. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of iQiyi into the Company's financial statements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB792.4 million ($127.2 million), representing an increase of 51.7% from the corresponding period in 2011, mainly due to an increase in marketing expenses and the consolidation of iQiyi into the Company's financial statements.

Research and development expenses were RMB701.6 million ($112.6 million), a 69.6% increase from the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of research and development personnel.

Share-based compensation expenses, which were allocated to related operating cost and expense line items, were RMB66.6 million ($10.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to RMB56.7 million in the previous quarter and RMB46.6 million in the corresponding period in 2011.

Operating profit was RMB2.848 billion ($457.1 million), representing a 24.0% increase from the corresponding period in 2011. Operating profit excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) was RMB2.915 billion ($467.8 million), a 24.3% increase from the corresponding period in 2011.

Loss from equity method accounting was RMB121.7 million ($19.5 million), representing an increase of RMB113.9 million ($18.3 million) compared to the corresponding period in 2011. This increase was mainly attributable to loss pickup from Baidu's cash investment in iQiyi and other invested entities.

Other Income was RMB380.5 million ($61.1 million), representing an increase of RMB359.5 million ($57.7 million) compared to the corresponding period in 2011. This increase mainly reflects a one-time gain for fair value adjustment arising from the step acquisition of iQiyi.

Income tax expense was RMB539.9 million ($86.7 million), compared to an income tax expense of RMB404.5 million in the corresponding period in 2011. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 16.2% compared to 16.5% for the corresponding period in 2011.

Net income attributable to Baidu was RMB2.795 billion ($448.7million), representing a 36.1% increase from the corresponding period in 2011. Basic and diluted earnings attributable to Baidu per ADS for the fourth quarter of 2012 amounted to RMB8.00 ($1.28) and RMB7.99 ($1.28), respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, Baidu had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of RMB32.485 billion ($5.214 billion). This amount includes the $1.5 billion raised through the Company's registered bond offering in November 2012. Net operating cash inflow and capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2012 were RMB3.396 billion ($545.1 million) and RMB786.4 million ($126.2 million), respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), defined in this announcement as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-operating income and share-based compensation expenses, were RMB3.324 billion ($533.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a 25.9% increase from the corresponding period in 2011.

Fiscal Year 2012 Results

Total revenues in 2012 were RMB22.306 billion ($3.580 billion), representing a 53.8% increase from 2011.

Online marketing revenues in 2012 were RMB22.246 billion ($3.571 billion), representing a 53.5% increase from 2011. The growth was driven by increases in both the number of active online marketing customers and revenue per customer. Baidu had about 596,000 active online marketing customers in 2012, representing a 22.1% increase from 2011. Revenue per online marketing customer for 2012 was RMB37,300 ($5,987), an increase of 25.6% from 2011.

Traffic acquisition costs in 2012 were RMB1.930 billion ($309.8 million), representing 8.7% of total revenues, compared to 8.0% in 2011. The increase in TAC as a percentage of total revenues reflects an increased revenue contribution from Baidu's products and services, such as contextual ads, through our network.

Bandwidth costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB1.069 billion ($171.6 million), representing 4.8% of total revenues, compared to 4.3% in 2011. Depreciation costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB1.082 billion ($173.7million), representing 4.9% of total revenues, compared to 4.5% in 2011. These increases were mainly due to an increase in network infrastructure capacity.

Content costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB215.1 million ($34.5 million), representing 1.0% of total revenues, compared to 0.5% in 2011. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of iQiyi into the Company's financial statements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2012 were RMB2.501 billion ($401.5 million), representing an increase of 47.8% from the previous year, mainly due to an increase in people and marketing expenses.

Research and development expenses totaled RMB2.305 billion ($370.0 million) in 2012, representing a 72.7% increase from 2011, primarily due to an increase in the number of research and development personnel.

Share-based compensation expenses, which were allocated to related operating cost and expense line items, were RMB212.3 million ($34.1 million) in 2012, compared to RMB152.0 million in 2011.

Operating profit in 2012 was RMB11.051 billion ($1.774 billion), a 45.9% increase from 2011. Operating profit excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) in 2012 was RMB11.264 billion ($1.808 billion), representing a 45.7% increase from 2011.

Loss from equity method accounting in 2012 was RMB294.2 million ($47.2 million), representing an increase of RMB114.8 million ($18.4 million) compared to 2011. This increase was mainly attributable to loss pick-up from invested entities.

Income tax expense was RMB1.574 billion ($252.7 million), compared to an income tax expense of RMB1.189 billion in 2011. The effective tax rate for 2012 was 13.2% compared to 15.2% in 2011. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate was mainly due to recognition of tax benefits obtained in 2012 for 2011.

Net income attributable to Baidu in 2012 was RMB10.456 billion ($1.678 billion), representing a 57.5% increase from 2011. Basic and diluted earnings attributable to Baidu per ADS in 2012 amounted to RMB29.86 ($4.79) and RMB29.83 ($4.79), respectively.

Net income attributable to Baidu excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) in 2012 was RMB10.668 billion ($1.712 billion), reflecting a 57.1% increase from 2011. Basic and diluted earnings attributable to Baidu per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) in 2012 were RMB30.47 ($4.89) and RMB30.44 ($4.89), respectively.

Net operating cash inflow and capital expenditures in 2012 were RMB12.583 billion ($2.020 billion) and RMB2.311 billion ($370.9 million), respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB12.698 billion ($2.038 billion) in 2012, representing a 47.4% increase from 2011.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "confident" and similar statements. Among other things, the outlook for the first quarter 2013 and quotations from management in this announcement, as well as Baidu's strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements. Baidu may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to fourth parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Baidu's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: our growth strategies; our future business development, including development of new products and services; our ability to attract and retain users and customers; competition in the Chinese and Japanese language Internet search markets; competition for online marketing customers; changes in our revenues and certain cost or expense items as a percentage of our revenues; the outcome of ongoing, or any future, litigation or arbitration, including those relating to intellectual property rights; the expected growth of the Chinese language Internet search market and the number of Internet broadband and mobile device users in China; Chinese governmental policies relating to the Internet and Internet search providers and general economic conditions in China and elsewhere. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in our annual report on Form 20-F and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Baidu's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Baidu uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: adjusted EBITDA, operating profit excluding share-based compensation expenses, net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding 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 tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures" and "Reconciliation from net cash provided by operating activities to adjusted EBITDA" set forth at the end of this release.

Baidu believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses, particularly share-based compensation expenses, that may not be indicative of its operating performance or financial condition from a cash perspective. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to Baidu's historical performance and liquidity. Baidu has computed its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter since April 1, 2006. Baidu 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 these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charge that has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our results of operations. A limitation of using non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is that it does not include all items that impact our net income for the period. 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.
