  • Online recruitment services revenues increased 7.6% over Q2 2014 to RMB335.7 million (US$54.1 million), which reflected the impact of a 6% value-added tax ("VAT") policy change effective June 1, 2014

Second Quarter 2015 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 were RMB508.0 million (US$81.9 million), an increase of 11.0% from RMB457.5 million for the same quarter in 2014.

Online recruitment services revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were RMB335.7 million (US$54.1 million), representing a 7.6% increase from RMB312.0 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The growth was principally due to an increase in the number of unique employers and greater usage of online recruitment services, which was partially offset by the implementation of a 6% VAT policy change effective June 1, 2014 that reduced revenues recorded. Unique employers increased 7.3% to 300,681 in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 280,203 in the same quarter of the prior year driven by new customer additions. Average revenue per unique employer increased 0.3% in the second quarter of 2015 as compared with the same quarter in 2014 primarily due to the purchase of higher priced services by customers, which offset the effect of the VAT policy change.

Print advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2015 decreased 47.0% to RMB1.2 million (US$0.2 million) compared with RMB2.3 million for the same quarter in 2014. The estimated number of print advertising pages generated in the second quarter of 2015 was 11 pages compared with 21 pages in the same quarter in 2014. The Company currently operates a print publication in the city of Xian.

Other human resource related revenues for the second quarter of 2015 increased 19.5% to RMB171.1 million (US$27.6 million) from RMB143.2 million in the same quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to greater customer adoption and usage of business process outsourcing and training services driven by improved sales efforts.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 increased 11.2% to RMB362.2 million (US$58.4 million) from RMB325.8 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Gross margin, which is gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, was 72.8% in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 73.9% in the same quarter in 2014.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2015 increased 17.9% to RMB239.7 million (US$38.7 million) from RMB203.4 million for the same quarter of 2014. Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2015 increased 22.0% to RMB173.9 million (US$28.1 million) from RMB142.6 million for the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to greater advertising and promotion expenditures as well as headcount additions and higher employee compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2015 increased 8.2% to RMB65.8 million (US$10.6 million) from RMB60.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses, including share-based compensation, which was partially offset by lower professional services fees in the second quarter of 2015.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2015 was RMB122.4 million (US$19.7 million), which was substantially the same as the second quarter of 2014. Operating margin, which is income from operations as a percentage of net revenues, was 24.6% in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 27.8% in the same quarter of 2014. Excluding share-based compensation expense, operating margin would be 29.3% in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 31.9% in the same quarter of 2014.

In April 2014, the Company completed an offering of US$172.5 million in convertible senior notes. In the second quarter of 2015, the Company recognized a mark-to-market, non-cash loss of RMB25.9 million (US$4.2 million) associated with a change in the fair value of convertible notes compared with RMB28.9 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Other income in the second quarter of 2015 included local government financial subsidies of RMB45.4 million (US$7.3 million) compared with RMB32.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2015 decreased to 19.3% compared with 36.0% in the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to non-taxable items, such as the change in fair value of convertible notes, which comprised a smaller portion of the income before income tax base in the second quarter of 2015 than in the comparable year-ago period. The effective tax rate on non-GAAP results in the second quarter of 2015 was 15.2% compared with 15.0% in the second quarter of 2014.

Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was RMB137.0 million (US$22.1 million) compared with RMB52.0 million for the same quarter in 2014. Fully diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2015 were RMB2.33 (US$0.38) compared with RMB0.86 for the same quarter in 2014.

In the second quarter of 2015, total share-based compensation expense was RMB23.2 million (US$3.7 million) compared with RMB18.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. The Company also recognized a gain from foreign currency translation of RMB3.9 million (US$0.6 million) in the second quarter of 2015 compared with RMB5.3 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Excluding share-based compensation expense, gain from foreign currency translation, convertible senior notes issuance costs, change in fair value of convertible notes and change in fair value of zero-strike call options, as well as the related tax effect of these items, non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2015 increased 9.9% to RMB182.2 million (US$29.4 million) compared with RMB165.8 million for the second quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were RMB3.04 (US$0.49) in the second quarter of 2015 compared with RMB2.75 in the second quarter of 2014.

Six Months 2015 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were RMB966.1 million (US$155.8 million), an increase of 8.0% from RMB894.7 million for the same period in 2014. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 1.5% to RMB245.9 million (US$39.7 million) from RMB242.2 million for the same period in 2014.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was RMB310.3 million (US$50.0 million) compared with RMB170.4 million for the same period in 2014. Fully diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was RMB4.71 (US$0.76) compared with RMB2.81 for the same period in 2014.

Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per common share were RMB5.43 (US$0.88) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with RMB5.01 in the same period in 2014.

As of June 30, 2015, cash and short-term investments totaled RMB4,617.8 million (US$744.8 million) compared with RMB4,494.7 million as of December 31, 2014. Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit with original maturities from three months to one year.

Completed Acquisition and Investments

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company closed the acquisition of Yingjiesheng.com ("YJS"), an established recruitment website with over 8 million registered users which is focused on college graduates and students in China. Operating commercially since 2007 and based in Shanghai, YJS provides information on full-time, part-time and internship job opportunities, campus talks, corporate visits and recruitment fairs, as well as moderates online career advice and job seeker counseling forums. The total consideration for 100% of the equity interests in YJS was RMB250.0 million (US$40.3 million), which was funded by the Company's existing cash resources. Beginning April 3, 2015, YJS has been fully consolidated into 51job's financial statements.

On June 23, 2015, the Company completed an investment for a 60% equity interest in Beijing Zhiding Youyuan Management Consulting Co., Ltd. ("Zhiding Youyuan") for a total of RMB18.7 million (US$3.0 million), which was funded by the Company's existing cash resources. Founded in 2010, Zhiding Youyuan provides talent assessment services, including a system of in-house developed, proprietary psychometric tests, which help employers to identify ideal job candidates and better allocate talent resources in their organizations in China.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company also made several small, noncontrolling strategic investments for an aggregate amount of RMB20.1 million (US$3.2 million), which was funded by the Company's existing cash resources.

Business Outlook

Based on current market conditions, the Company's total revenues target for the third quarter of 2015 is in the estimated range of RMB505 million to RMB525 million (US$81.5 million to US$84.7 million). Excluding share-based compensation expense, any gain or loss from foreign currency translation, and any mark-to-market gain or loss associated with a change in fair value of convertible notes, as well as the related tax effect of these items, the Company's non-GAAP fully diluted earnings target for the third quarter of 2015 is in the estimated range of RMB2.25 to RMB2.45 (US$0.36 to US$0.40) per share. The Company expects total share-based compensation expense in the third quarter of 2015 to be in the estimated range of RMB20 million to RMB21 million (US$3.2 million to US$3.4 million).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), 51job uses non-GAAP financial measures of income before income tax expense, income tax expense, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expense, gain from foreign currency translation, convertible senior notes issuance costs, change in fair value of convertible notes and change in fair value of zero-strike call options, as well as the related tax effect of these items. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company's core operating results as such expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and do not impact its cash earnings. The Company believes excluding gain from foreign currency translation and its related tax effect from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such translation gain is not indicative of the Company's core business operations and will not result in cash settlement nor impact the Company's cash earnings. The Company believes excluding convertible senior notes issuance costs and its related tax effect from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such costs are one-time, non-recurring and not attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business. The Company believes excluding changes in fair value of convertible notes and zero-strike call options, as well as their related tax effect, from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such changes are not indicative of the Company's core business operations and will not result in cash settlement nor impact the Company's cash earnings. 51job also believes these non-GAAP financial measures excluding share-based compensation expense, gain from foreign currency translation, convertible senior notes issuance costs, change in fair value of convertible notes and change in fair value of zero-strike call options, as well as the related tax effect of these items, are important in helping investors to understand the Company's current financial performance and future prospects and to compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial statements.

Notes:

1. The conversion of Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollar amounts is based on the noon buying rate of RMB6.2000 to US$1.00 on June 30, 2015 in New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as set forth in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.

2. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the "if converted" method. This includes the add-back of interest expense of RMB8,571 (US$1,382) related to the convertible senior notes to the numerator of non-GAAP adjusted net income and the addition of the maximum number of 4,035,672 potentially converted shares related to the convertible senior notes to the denominator of common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The potential conversion of the convertible senior notes was excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

3. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the "if converted" method. This includes the add-back of interest expense of RMB17,180 (US$2,771) related to the convertible senior notes to the numerator of non-GAAP adjusted net income and the addition of the weighted average maximum number of 4,035,672 potentially converted shares related to the convertible senior notes to the denominator of common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The potential conversion of the convertible senior notes was excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2014 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
