Fourth Quarter Financial Results

For the fourth quarter of 2006, Focus Media reported total revenues of $68.3 million, an increase of 177.4% compared to $24.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and an increase of 11.8% compared to $61.1 million for the third quarter of 2006.

Commercial Location Network

For the commercial location network, advertising service revenue, including revenue from our outdoor LED network and movie theater advertising network, was $42.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 102.4% from $20.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and an increase of 7.8% sequentially from $38.9 million in the previous quarter.

The total number of displays installed on our commercial location network in our directly operated cities was 80,263 as of December 31, 2006, increasing from 68,723 as of September 30, 2006, while the number of displays in networks operated by our regional distributors was 5,197 as of December 31, 2006.

Slots Sold in Tier-II Cities increased 49.4% to 7,285 in the fourth quarter 2006 from 4,879 in the third quarter 2006, which implies a sell-out rate of 49.6%. The Premier Channel A accounted for approximately 69% of total commercial location advertising service revenues in the quarter while other channels (Office Building Channel B, Elite Channel, Travel Channel, Fashion Channel, Healthcare Channel and IT Mall Channel), our outdoor LED network and movie theater advertising business contributed the remaining 31%.

Other revenues in the fourth quarter was $1.2 million, which include approximately $0.7 million we received as license fee from our overseas franchise companies.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter was 68.5%, up from 65.3% in the previous quarter. For the commercial location network (including our outdoor LED network and movie theater advertising business), gross margin was 73.0% in the fourth quarter 2006, increasing from 71.4% in the third quarter of 2006 as we continue to increase the sell-out rate of our media inventories while focusing on cost optimization.

For the poster frame network, gross margin was 75.4% in the fourth quarter of 2006, rising from 70.7% in the third quarter of 2006. For Focus Media wireless, gross margin was 63.0% in the fourth quarter of 2006 due to a one-time rebate from one of the wireless network operators in China and as we continue to do more business with direct advertising customers rather than MVAS (Mobile Value-added Service Provider) customers, up from 40.6% in the third quarter of 2006.

In the fourth-quarter of 2006, operating expenses totaled $19.2 million, including $1.7 million in acquired intangible asset amortization resulting from acquisitions and non-cash share-based compensation expense of $3.3 million.

Other Recent Developments

In January 2007, Focus Media and certain of its pre-IPO shareholders completed a secondary offering. In this offering, including the greenshoe exercised by the underwriters, Focus Media sold 1,500,000 ADSs of newly issued shares and its selling shareholders sold 6,154,055 ADSs to the public.

During the fourth quarter 2006, we completed the acquisition of Fengjing Advertisement. We signed a definitive term sheet to acquire 95% of Fengjing Advertisement Company ("Fengjing") in July 2006 to further expand our outdoor LED network in Shanghai. Upon the closing of this acquisition, we added an additional 96 4-ft by 6-ft outdoor LED digital billboards installed on street-sides in major commercial areas in Shanghai and have the right to operate these LED screens for at least 6 years. By the end of 2006, the number of the LED screens in our street-side outdoor LED network in prime commercial and shopping areas (iStreet Network) reached 226.

During the fourth quarter, we continued to expand our poster advertising network through acquisitions. We signed agreements to acquire approximately 10,000 frames from Power Media which operates frame advertising network in universities throughout China and approximately 9,000 frames in Hangzhou.

Focus Media continued to strengthen its management team. We appointed Dr. Zhi Tan, former chief executive officer of Framedia, as president of Focus Media in January 2007. Dr. Zhi Tan joined Focus Media as senior vice president following the acquisition of Framedia in October 2005. During his tenure with Framedia, Dr. Tan successfully consolidated China's in-elevator poster frame advertising market through multiple acquisitions and helped Framedia to achieve a leading position in the in-elevator poster advertising business in China. In his new capacity, Dr. Tan will be responsible for the company's overall operations, strategic planning and execution. In November 2006, Diana Chen was appointed as our chief operating officer. Diana Chen had been Chief Marketing Officer, focusing on formulating marketing strategy and maintaining large client relationships for Focus Media's multi-platform life style media, since she joined the company in May 2005. The promotion expands her role in day-to-day operation of the company and strengthens our focus on Tier-II city expansion in 2007.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The company estimates its total revenues for the first quarter of 2007 will range from $54 million to $56 million. First quarter 2007 net income excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions (non-GAAP) is expected to be between $20 million and $21 million or $0.36 to $0.38 per fully diluted ADS based on 55 million total ADS equivalent shares outstanding.

The company estimates its total revenues for full year 2007 to range from $350 million to $360 million. Net income of full year 2007 excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions (non-GAAP) is expected to be between $164 million to $168 million or $2.83 to $2.90 per fully diluted ADS based on an estimated 58 million total ADS equivalent shares outstanding.

The company expects its capital expenditure for 2007 to be approximately $20 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the company estimates total share-based compensation expenses in 2007 will be approximately $16.0 million based on stock options that have been granted as of February 28, 2006.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to Focus Media's consolidated financial results under GAAP, the company also provides non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earning per fully diluted ADS, all excluding non-cash share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets resulting from acquisitions. The company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with another method for assessing Focus Media's operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies, and should refer to the reconciliation of GAAP results with non-GAAP results for the three-month periods and the twelve-month periods of 2005 and 2006, respectively, in the attached financial statements.

The company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of Focus Media's liquidity and when planning and forecasting future periods. The company computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation between these financial measures.
