Third Quarter Revenue Increased by 149.6% and Net Income Increased by 72.6% Year-over-year

SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 20 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Focus Media Holding Limited (Nasdaq: FMCN), China’s largest digital media group, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Highlights for third Quarter 2007:

-- Total revenues grew 149.6% year-over-year and 33.6% quarter-over-

quarter to $151.4 million.

-- Net income for the third quarter was $46.6 million, up 72.6% year-over-

year and 23.6% quarter-over-quarter. Fully diluted net income per ADS

for the third quarter of 2007 was $0.37. Focus Media also provides

operating margin, net income and earnings per ADS on a non-GAAP basis

that exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense and acquired

intangible assets amortization expense to enable investors to better

assess the Company’s operating performance. The non-GAAP measures are

described below and reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure in the

section below titled “Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures”. Net

income, excluding non-cash share-based compensation expenses and

amortization of acquired intangible assets resulting from acquisitions

(non-GAAP) for the third quarter was $54.6 million or $0.43 per fully

diluted ADS.

-- In the third quarter of 2007, digital out-of-home advertising revenue

was $94.7 million, up 23.3% quarter-over-quarter.

-- Advertising service revenue from our commercial location network,

including revenue from our LCD display networks, outdoor digital and

non-digital billboard networks (also referred to as our iStreet

Network) and movie theater advertising network, grew 67.7% year-

over-year and 26.5% quarter-over quarter to $64.6 million.

-- Advertising service revenue from our in-store network was $7.1

million, down 2.1% year-over-year and 2.2% quarter-over-quarter, due

to the relatively more competitive environment in our in-store

business.

-- Advertising service revenue from our in-elevator poster frame

network grew 104.4% year-over-year and 24.3% quarter-over-quarter to

$23.1 million.

-- Mobile handset advertising revenue grew 298.9% year-over-year and 28.9%

quarter-over-quarter, to $14.0 million in the third quarter 2007.

-- Internet advertising revenue was $42.5 million in the third quarter of

2007, up 68.5% quarter-over-quarter.

“We have achieved another record quarterly revenue and profit in the third quarter 2007. During the quarter, we saw robust advertising demand for our digital media offerings. Our Internet advertising business grew strongly in the quarter after several small acquisitions to strengthen the market leadership of Allyes. Although the gross margin of our Internet advertising business was lower than the previous quarter due to the consolidation of newly acquired entities, we believe the gross margin of our Internet business will trend up in the future as we leverage Allyes’ strong technology platform to improve the operations of these acquired businesses. We are well positioned to capitalize on the expected strong demand growth in the China advertising market in 2008,” said Jason Jiang, CEO of Focus Media. “In addition, our mobile handset advertising business continues to demonstrate strong growth potential. We believe its highly targeted ad delivery to mobile users based on demographic or location-based information is increasingly gaining acceptance by advertisers. In order to maximize shareholder value, we are evaluating a potential option for a separate listing of our mobile handset advertising business in Hong Kong or the United States.”

Third Quarter Financial Results

For the third quarter of 2007, Focus Media reported total revenues of $151.4 million, an increase of 149.6% compared to $60.6 million for the third quarter of 2006, and an increase of 33.6% compared to $113.3 million for the second quarter of 2007.

Our total digital out-of-home advertising revenue was $94.7 million in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 66.1% from $57.0 million in the third quarter of 2006 and a sequential increase of 23.3% from $76.9 million in the second quarter of 2007. In the third quarter of 2007, commercial location advertising revenue was $64.6 million, contributing 68.2% of total digital out-of-home advertising revenue. Advertising service revenue from our in-store network was $7.1 million, or 7.5% of total digital out-of-home advertising revenue. Advertising service revenue from our in-elevator poster frame network placed primarily in the elevators of residential complexes was $23.1 million in the third quarter of 2007, or 24.3% of total digital out-of-home advertising revenue.

As of September 30, 2007, the total installed base of LCD displays in our commercial location network was 95,398 nationwide, including 90,375 displays through our directly owned networks, and 5,023 displays through our regional distributors. In the third quarter of 2007, we continued to expand the installed base of our hypermarkets to 1,266 stores as of September 30, 2007 from 1,205 hypermarkets as of June 30, 2007. Our in-store network also covers 695 supermarkets and 2,080 convenience stores as of September 30, 2007. The number of displays installed in our in-store network increased to 43,315 as of September 30, 2007 compared to 41,322 as of June 30, 2007. The total number of non-digital frames available for sale on our poster frame network was 163,455 as of September 30, 2007. In addition, as of September 30, 2007, we had installed 7,150 digital 2.0 frames, mainly in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Mobile Advertising Business

Advertising service revenue from Focus Media Wireless in the third quarter of 2007 was $14.0 million, up 298.9% from $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2006 and 28.9% from $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2007.

Internet Advertising Business

Internet advertising service revenue was $42.5 million in the third quarter of 2007, up 68.5% from $25.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. Digital marketing service accounted for 94.0% of the total Internet advertising revenue. Rich Media, pay-for-performance and technology solutions accounted for the remaining 6.0%.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2007 was $77.1 million, representing an increase of 99.9% compared to $38.6 million for the corresponding period a year ago and a 24.7% increase compared to $61.8 million in the second quarter 2007. In the third quarter 2007, gross margin for our digital out-of-home business was 62.7%. Within our digital out-of-home advertising networks, commercial location network gross margin was 64.7%, in-store network gross margin was 17.7%, and the in-elevator poster frame network gross margin was 71.1%. Commercial location gross margin was impacted by the acquisition of a leading outdoor billboard operator in China, which operates over 200 highly attractive outdoor billboard locations in major commercial centers in China. Excluding the non-digital outdoor billboard business we acquired in the second quarter of 2007, commercial location gross margin would have been 74.6%. We plan to upgrade some of these sites to digital LED billboards upon expiration of the current contracts with advertisers. The acquisition provides Focus Media with a stronger strategic position for the growth of outdoor digital billboard business in the future. The gross margin for our mobile advertising business was 56.2% in the third quarter of 2007. The gross margin for our Internet advertising business was 23.0% in the third quarter 2007, lower than the previous quarter due to several small acquisitions to strengthen the market leadership of Allyes. Blended gross margin for the company for the third quarter was 50.9%, as compared to 54.6% in the second quarter of 2007, primarily due to the contribution of the lower-margin Internet advertising business and in-store business.

In the third quarter of 2007, operating expenses totaled $30.0 million, including $1.1 million in acquired intangible asset amortization resulting from acquisitions and non-cash share-based compensation expense of $4.4 million. Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues in the third quarter 2007 was 19.8%, as compared to 20.9% in the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses in the third quarter totaled $19.1 million including $2.4 million in share compensation expense, or 12.6% of total revenues. General and administrative expense in the third quarter was $12.1 million including $2.0 million in share-based compensation expense, or 8.0% of total revenues. Our operating margin in the third quarter of 2007 was 31.1%, as compared to 33.7% in the second quarter 2007. Excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense and acquired intangible asset amortization expense, operating margin (non-GAAP) was 36.4% in the third quarter 2007. Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2007 also include a one-time expense of approximately $2.1 million relating to the recent Audit Committee inquiry.

Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $46.6 million, an increase of 72.6% compared to $27.0 million for the same period in 2006, and 23.6% compared to $37.7 million for the second quarter of 2007. Fully diluted net income per ADS for the third quarter of 2007 was $0.37. Net income excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense and acquired intangible assets amortization expense resulting from acquisitions (non-GAAP) in the third quarter of 2007 was $54.6 million, or $0.43 per fully diluted ADS.

Other Recent Developments

In November 2007, Focus Media and certain of its shareholders, consisting mainly of the former shareholders of Framedia, Dotad and Allyes, completed a secondary offering. In this offering, Focus Media sold 5,000,000 ADSs of newly issued shares and various selling shareholders sold 8,720,873 ADSs to the public.

On September 28, 2007, Mr. David Ying Zhang was appointed to Focus Media’s board of directors as an independent director. Mr. Zhang is the managing director and head of the Beijing office of WI Harper, a private equity fund. With the appointment of Mr. Zhang, Focus Media’s board regained a majority of independent directors.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The Company estimates its total revenues for the forth quarter of 2007 will range from $160 million to $170 million. Fourth quarter 2007 net income excluding share-based compensation expense and intangible assets amortization expense resulting from acquisitions (non-GAAP) is expected to be between $62 million and $64 million or $0.48 to $0.50 per fully diluted ADS based on 129 million total ADS-equivalent average shares outstanding.

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 earnings per fully diluted ADS, all excluding non-cash share-based compensation and acquired intangible asset amortization expense resulting from acquisitions. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide 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 in the attached financial information.

The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of Focus Media 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.
