BEIJING, Nov 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NetEase, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES) ("NetEase" or the "Company"), one of China's leading internet and online game services providers, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.
"We maintained steady growth across each of our primary business lines in the third quarter with a continued focus on providing first-rate games and products to the expanding online market, both domestically and abroad," said Mr. William Ding, Chief Executive Officer and Director of NetEase. "Led by our online game services segment, our total net revenues increased 38.1% year-over-year with growth of 26.0% in online games services, 23.8% in advertising services, and 107.2% in our e-mail, e-commerce and others segment."
"Ingenuity, quality and diversification have provided the cornerstones for our competitive edge. As the internet technology industry expands, we will keep pushing the boundaries with new and improved products. Our latest endeavors for our online game services include enhancing interactive communications among our mobile users, establishing virtual and augmented reality interfaces, as well as exploring other innovative gameplay options that offer exciting advances in how players experience and connect with our games."
"There remains extensive opportunity in the thriving mobile game industry where we continue to introduce chart-topping games. During the third quarter we released a number of new games to add to our mobile portfolio that spans over 100 titles. Our latest mobile 3D game Onmyoji was an instant success, surpassing our expectations. Onmyoji quickly became one of the top-grossing games in China's iOS app store for both the iPhone and iPad following its release in early September. Our Fantasy Westward Journey and Westward Journey Online mobile games and the mobile version of New Ghost also remained popular in the third quarter. Additionally, we launched mobile games such as Tianxia III mobile, OverOcean and Audition Mobile in the third quarter, followed by HIT, a stunning new ARPG, in October, and are planning to bring our mobile players exciting, original titles in the near-term with games such as Heroes of Tang Dynasty Mobile, Demon Seals Mobile and Land of Glory."
"Our classic PC-client games also maintained a steady presence in the third quarter with the launch of new expansion packs for games including Fantasy Westward Journey Online (formerly named Fantasy Westward Journey II), New Westward Journey Online II, New Westward Journey Online III, Heroes of Tang Dynasty Zero, Revelation and New Ghost. New expansion packs for Kung Fu Master II and Demon Seals were also recently released. In the coming months we plan to launch new expansion packs for games including Tianxia III and Heroes of Tang Dynasty Zero."
"Blizzard Entertainment's Overwatch® and Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft™ with its new adventure: One Night in Karazhan™, continued to gain favor among Chinese audiences in the third quarter, demonstrating the universal strength of these world renowned brands. Similarly, the latest expansion pack for Blizzard's World of Warcraft®, Legion™, has garnered considerable attention from players in China, surpassing our expectations since its September 1 release in mainland China."
"Supported by our industry leading Mobile News App and diversified mobile products, as well as high profile events such as the 2016 Summer Olympics, we are creating attractive options for our advertising partners. In the third quarter, our advertising services revenues grew sequentially and year-over-year with the automobile, internet services and telecommunications sectors as our top performing verticals. Additionally, our

e-commerce offering continues to grow at a healthy pace. While our primary focus is on direct merchandise sales, we also look forward to maximizing the value of complementary services that extend the reach of this platform."
"We believe that there remain significant growth opportunities for NetEase. By utilizing the strength of our experience as industry veterans and our strong R&D capabilities, our products and services continue to evolve and help shape the market. With an eye toward innovation, we build this value across our businesses not only for our players, but for all of our customers, partners and investors," Mr. Ding concluded.
Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were RMB9,211.6 million (US$1,381.4 million), compared to RMB8,952.8 million and RMB6,671.8 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively.
Net revenues from online games were RMB6,568.0 million (US$984.9 million) for the third quarter of 2016, compared to RMB6,438.3 million and RMB5,212.9 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively.
Net revenues from advertising services were RMB563.3 million (US$84.5 million) for the third quarter of 2016, compared to RMB531.1 million and RMB454.9 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively.
Net revenues from e-mail, e-commerce and others were RMB2,080.4 million (US$312.0 million) for the third quarter of 2016, compared to RMB1,983.4 million and RMB1,004.0 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2016 was RMB5,333.6 million (US$799.8 million), compared to RMB5,280.4 million and RMB3,849.3 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively.
The year-over-year increase in online games gross profit was primarily driven by increased revenue contribution from mobile games such as the Westward Journey Online mobile game, the mobile version of New Ghost and Blizzard Entertainment's Overwatch and World of Warcraft.
The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases in advertising services gross profit were primarily attributable to strong demand from advertisers and NetEase's monetization efforts for its mobile applications, primarily its Mobile News App.
The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases in e-mail, e-commerce and others gross profit was primarily due to increased revenue contribution from NetEase's e-commerce business.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit margin for the online games business for the third quarter of 2016 was 65.0%, compared to 66.2% and 67.9% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to increased revenue contribution from mobile games and licensed games, which have relatively lower gross profit margins, as a percentage of NetEase's total online games revenues. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to increased revenue contribution from licensed games.
Gross profit margin for the advertising services business for the third quarter of 2016 was 65.3%, compared to 65.5% and 67.6% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to higher staff-related costs and content purchase costs.
Gross profit margin for the e-mail, e-commerce and others business for the third quarter of 2016 was 33.5%, compared to 33.8% and 0.1% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively. The year-over-year increase in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the business development and the gross profit margin improvement of NetEase's certain e-commerce businesses.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2016 were RMB2,487.0 million (US$372.9 million), compared to RMB2,232.5 million and RMB1,761.2 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases in operating expenses were mainly due to higher staff-related costs resulting from an increase in headcount, average compensation, research and development investments and selling and marketing expenses.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded a net income tax charge of RMB427.2 million (US$64.1 million) for the third quarter of 2016, compared to RMB262.7 million and RMB399.2 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 was 13.3%, compared to 8.6% and 17.1% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes in the effective tax rate was mainly due to the fact that certain subsidiaries of the Company were approved as Key Software Enterprises in the second quarter of 2016 and subject to a preferential tax rate of 10% for 2015. The Company recognized the related tax credits in the second and third quarters of 2016. The effective tax rate represents certain estimates by the Company as to the tax obligations and benefits applicable to it in each quarter.
Net Income After Tax
Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders for the third quarter of 2016 totaled RMB2.7 billion (US$410.9 million), compared to RMB2.7 billion and RMB1.9 billion for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively. Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders[1] for the third quarter of 2016 totaled RMB3.0 billion (US$452.5 million), compared to RMB3.2 billion and RMB2.1 billion for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively.
During the third quarter of 2016, the Company had a net foreign exchange gain of RMB14.8 million (US$2.2 million), compared to net foreign exchange gains of RMB77.3 million and RMB66.5 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively. The net foreign exchange gains were mainly due to unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from the Company's U.S. dollar-denominated bank deposits and short-term loan balances as the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the RMB fluctuated over the periods.
NetEase reported basic and diluted earnings per ADS of US$3.13 and US$3.11, respectively, for the third quarter of 2016. The Company reported basic and diluted earnings per ADS of US$3.11 and US$3.09, respectively, for the preceding quarter, and basic and diluted earnings per ADS of US$2.15 and US$2.13, respectively, for the third quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS were US$3.45 and US$3.42, respectively, for the third quarter of 2016, compared to non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS of US$3.68 and US$3.66, respectively, in the preceding quarter, and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS of US$2.34 and US$2.32, respectively, for the third quarter of 2015.
[1] As used in this press release, non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders is defined to exclude share-based compensation expenses and impairment on investment. See "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release. |

The board of directors has approved a dividend of US$0.78 per ADS for the third quarter of 2016, which is expected to be paid on December 2, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 25, 2016.
NetEase paid a dividend of US$0.73 per ADS for the first quarter of 2016 on June 3, 2016 and US$0.78 per ADS for the second quarter of 2016 on September 9, 2016.
Under the Company's quarterly dividend policy announced on May 13, 2014, quarterly dividends will be set at an amount equivalent to approximately 25% of the Company's anticipated net income after tax in each fiscal quarter. The determination to make dividend distributions and the amount of such distributions in any particular quarter will be made at the discretion of the board of directors and will be based upon the Company's operations and earnings, cash flow, financial condition and other relevant factors.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company's total cash and cash equivalents, current and non-current time deposits and short-term investments balance totaled RMB32.1 billion (US$4.8 billion), compared to RMB26.8 billion as of December 31, 2015. Cash flow generated from operating activities was RMB3.7 billion (US$559.3 million) for the third quarter of 2016, compared to RMB3.3 billion and RMB2.2 billion for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2015, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program
On September 1, 2015, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a new share repurchase program of up to US$500 million of the Company's outstanding ADSs for a period not to exceed 12 months.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains statements of a forward-looking nature. These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these forward-looking statements by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. The accuracy of these statements may be impacted by a number of business risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated, including risks related to: the risk that the online game market will not continue to grow or that NetEase will not be able to maintain its leading position in that market, which could occur if, for example, its new online games or expansion packs and other improvements to its existing games do not become as popular as management anticipates; the ability of NetEase to successfully expand its mobile internet offerings; the ability of NetEase to effectively market its games and other services and achieve a positive return on its marketing expenditures; the risk that Shanghai EaseNet will not be able to continue operating World of Warcraft®, StarCraft® II, Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft™, Diablo III®: Reaper of Souls™, Heroes of the Storm™, Overwatch® or other games licensed by it for a period of time or permanently due to possible governmental actions or the risk that such games will not be popular with game players in China; the risk that changes in Chinese government regulation of the online game market and the market for NetEase's e-commerce services may limit future growth of NetEase's revenues or cause revenues to decline; competition in the online advertising business and the risk that investments by NetEase in its content and services may not increase the appeal of the NetEase websites among internet users or result in increased advertising revenues; the risk that NetEase may not be able to continuously develop new and creative online services, including its ability to maintain and enhance the popularity of its e-mail, mobile and e-commerce services and develop attractive mobile games; the risk that NetEase will not be able to control its expenses in future periods; competition in NetEase's existing and potential markets; governmental uncertainties (including possible changes in the effective tax rates applicable to NetEase and its subsidiaries and affiliates and the ability of NetEase to receive and maintain approvals of the preferential tax treatments and general competition and price pressures in the marketplace); the risk that fluctuations in the value of the Renminbi with respect to other currencies could adversely affect NetEase's business and financial results; and other risks outlined in NetEase's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. NetEase does not undertake any obligation to update this forward-looking information, except as required under the applicable law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
NetEase considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing its operating performance and formulating its business plan. The presentation of 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
NetEase defines non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders as net income attributable to the Company's shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses and impairment on investment. Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders enables NetEase's management to assess its operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses and impairment on investment, which are non-cash charges or non-recurring in nature. NetEase believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company's current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. NetEase also believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders is that it does not reflect all items of expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses and impairment on investment have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures NetEase uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
NetEase compensates for these limitations by reconciling non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release. NetEase encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
