Management Comments

"We are pleased to have finished the year with a strong fourth quarter in which we beat our topline guidance," commented Mr. Michael Yao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 58.com. "Twelve months ago we only had the 58.com platform, but have since strengthened and consolidated our platform to include Ganji, Anjuke and China HR. These platforms have together generated increased traffic, merchants and revenues and have further strengthened the competitive positions of our core content categories such as jobs, housing, auto and local services. We are now focusing on nurturing further innovation, enhancing the user experience and increasing operational efficiency. 58 Home continues to grow very rapidly and its operational efficiency is improving. We successfully spun off the consumer-to-consumer ("C2C") used car platform Guazi during the quarter and it is off to a fantastic start under Mark Yang's visionary leadership."

Mr. Hao Zhou, Chief Financial Officer of 58.com added, "Total revenues and paying customer numbers continued to reach new records during the fourth quarter. Non-GAAP operating loss was reduced to US$50.9 million from US$69.9 in the third quarter. While 58 Home and Guazi continued to generate losses as they are still in the early stages of expansion, our core listings business already turned profitable. Operating cash flow became positive in the fourth quarter. Our net loss for the quarter was impacted by gains associated with the Guazi spin-off, which was a one off transaction."

Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results

58.com's financial results for the fourth quarter of 2015 include the results from Anjuke and Ganji, which the Company started to consolidate in March 2015 and early August 2015, respectively.

Revenues

Total revenues were US$255.3 million, representing an increase of 218.3% from US$80.2 million in the same quarter of 2014. The increase in total revenues was primarily driven by the addition of revenues from Ganji and Anjuke, as well as the organic growth of the 58.com platform.

Membership revenues were US$100.9 million, an increase of 153.3% from US$39.8 million in the same quarter of 2014. The increase in membership revenues was primarily driven by an increase in the number of paying merchant members. The number of paying merchant members on the 58.com platform during the fourth quarter of 2015 was approximately 964,000, an increase of 59.3% from 605,000 in the same quarter of 2014. In addition, Ganji and Anjuke jointly had approximately 791,000 paying merchant members in the fourth quarter of 2015. Paying merchant members refer to the merchants who have purchased the Company's subscription-based membership services and whose membership subscriptions are active at any point during a given period. It is important to note that some paying members purchase membership services from more than one 58.com platform, which contributes separately to the revenues from these platforms.

Online marketing services revenues were US$135.9 million, an increase of 237.1% from US$40.3 million in the same quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily driven by increased revenue from Ganji and Anjuke, as well as organic growth of the 58.com platform. Online marketing services revenues generated from the 58.com platform continued to grow and were primarily driven by the effectiveness of real time bidding services and increased traffic.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was US$20.8 million, an increase of 352.8% from US$4.6 million during the same quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily driven by increased costs associated with the addition of Ganji and Anjuke, as well as the Company's organic growth. The year-over-year increase in the 58.com platform's cost of revenues was primarily driven by increased Traffic Acquisition Costs ("TAC") paid to the Company's advertising union partners as well as other types of website maintenance related costs such as Short Message Service ("SMS") costs, bandwidth fees and depreciation expenses.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was US$234.5 million, an increase of 210.1% from US$75.6 million during the same quarter of 2014.

Gross margin was 91.8%, compared with 94.3% during the same quarter of 2014. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by growth in 58.com's advertising union business, which has lower gross margin than the core classifieds business.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were US$306.2 million, representing an increase of 278.2% from US$81.0 million in the same quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily a result of increased operating expenses associated with the consolidation of Ganji's and Anjuke's financials. Operating expenses associated with 58.com's core classifieds business also grew rapidly to support increased traffic and revenues. In addition, operating expenses associated with new transactional model businesses, such as 58 Home and Guazi, also increased significantly in the fourth quarter of 2015 from an immaterial amount in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2015 were US$238.4 million, an increase of 294.4% from US$60.4 million during the same quarter in 2014.

Within sales and marketing expenses, advertising expenses accounted for US$98.1 million and US$24.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase primarily resulted from the consolidation of Ganji's and Anjuke's financials. Within Ganji's financials, Guazi accounted for the majority of the increase in advertising expenses.

Other sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2015 were US$140.3 million, an increase of 293.1% from US$35.6 million during the same period last year. Other sales and marketing expenses mainly include compensation, benefits and commissions of sales, customer services and marketing teams as well as office overhead associated with these teams. The increase was driven by the consolidation of Ganji's and Anjuke's financials and organic growth in 58.com's businesses. The increase in 58.com's business was attributable to subsidies paid to service providers on the 58 Home platform, as well as increased salaries, benefits and commissions as a result of the increased headcount of sales and marketing personnel since competition with Ganji began increasing in the summer of 2014.

Research and development expenses during the fourth quarter of 2015 were US$43.6 million, an increase of 223.6% year-over-year from US$13.5 million in the same quarter of 2014. The increase was driven by an increase in research and development expenses associated with the 58.com platform, as well as those from Ganji and Anjuke platforms. The increase associated with the 58.com platform was primarily due to increased costs associated with the hiring of additional research and development personnel for the development of new features and services.

General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2015 were US$24.2 million, an increase from US$7.0 million in the same quarter of 2014. The increase was driven by the consolidation of Ganji's and Anjuke's financials, organic growth in 58.com's businesses, increased share-based compensation expenses and an increase in the number of support staff hired to support the expansion of the Company's sales team.

Loss from operations was US$71.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with loss from operations of US$5.3 million in the same quarter of 2014. Operating margin was negative 28.1% in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with negative 6.6% in the same quarter of 2014.

On November 25, 2015, the Company announced its plan to spin off Guazi, and the spin off was completed in December 2015.

Prior to the spin-off, Guazi's losses were consolidated in the Company's financial statements.

Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Results

58.com's financial results for the fiscal year 2015 include results from Anjuke and Ganji, which the Company began consolidating in March 2015 and early August 2015, respectively.

Revenues

Total revenues were US$714.9 million in fiscal year 2015, representing an increase of 169.8% from US$265.0 million in fiscal year 2014. The increase in total revenues was driven by the addition of revenues from Ganji and Anjuke, as well as the organic growth of the 58.com platform.

Membership revenues were US$297.2 million in fiscal year 2015, an increase of 113.0% from US$139.5 million in fiscal year 2014. The increase in membership revenues was primarily driven by an increase in the number of paying merchant members. The number of quarterly average paying merchant members on the 58.com platform during fiscal year 2015 was approximately 827,000, an increase of 56.3% from 529,000 in fiscal year 2014.

Online marketing services revenues were US$385.5 million in fiscal year 2015, an increase of 208.4% from US$125.0 million in fiscal year 2014. The increase was primarily driven by the organic growth of the 58.com platform, as well as the effectiveness of real time bidding services, increased traffic, and the consolidation of new businesses such as Ganji and Anjuke.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was US$51.4 million in fiscal year 2015, an increase of 271.3% from US$13.8 million during fiscal year 2014. The increase was primarily driven by the consolidation of Ganji's and Anjuke's financials, the organic growth of the 58.com platform, an increase in TAC paid to 58.com's advertising union partners, as well as other types of PC and mobile platform maintenance related costs such as SMS costs, bandwidth fees and depreciation expenses.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was US$663.5 million in fiscal year 2015, an increase of 164.2% from US$251.1 million during fiscal year 2014.

Gross margin was 92.8% in fiscal year 2015, compared with 94.8% during fiscal year 2014. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the growth in 58.com's advertising union business, which has lower gross margin than the core classifieds business.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were US$914.1 million in fiscal year 2015, representing an increase of 273.9% from US$244.5 million in fiscal year 2014. The increase was primarily a result of increased operating expenses associated with the consolidation of Ganji's and Anjuke's financials. The operating expenses associated with 58.com's core classifieds business also grew rapidly to support increased traffic and revenues as competition escalated since the summer of 2014. In addition, operating expenses associated with new transactional model businesses such as 58 Home and Guazi C2C used car platforms also increased significantly during the year, especially during the second half of 2015 from an immaterial amount last year.

Sales and marketing expenses in fiscal year 2015 were US$697.5 million, an increase of 287.2% from US$180.1 million in fiscal year 2014.

Within sales and marketing expenses, advertising expenses accounted for US$289.2 million and US$73.4 million in fiscal year 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase primarily resulted from the consolidation of Ganji's and Anjuke's financials. The Company sequentially increased Anjuke's advertising expenses from second quarter as China's real estate market began to recover. The year-over-year increase in advertising expenses for the 58.com platform in response to increasing competition was also very significant, especially during the first half of 2015, but following the consolidation of Ganji that took place in August 2015, the expenses have been scaled back.

Other sales and marketing expenses in fiscal year 2015 were US$408.3 million, an increase of 282.6% from US$106.7 million in fiscal year 2014. Other sales and marketing expenses mainly include compensation, benefits and commissions of sales, customer services and marketing teams as well as office overhead associated with these teams. The increase was driven by increased expenses associated with consolidation of Ganji and Anjuke's financials, and the organic growth in 58.com's businesses. The increase in 58.com's businesses was attributable to subsidies paid to service providers on the 58 Home platform, as well as increased salaries, benefits and commissions as a result of the increased headcount of sales and marketing personnel in response to increased competition with Ganji.

Research and development expenses in fiscal year 2015 were US$123.2 million, an increase of 182.0% from US$43.7 million in fiscal year 2014. The increase was driven by an increase in research and development expenses associated with the 58.com platform, as well as those from the Ganji and Anjuke platforms. The increase associated with the 58.com platform was primarily due to increased costs associated with the hiring of additional research and development personnel for the development of new features and services.

General and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2015 were US$93.4 million, an increase from US$20.6 million in fiscal year 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to share-based compensation expenses and approximately US$34.7 million in professional fees associated with the strategic investment in Ganji. The increase was also partially due to an increase in the number of support staff hired to support the expansion of the Company's sales team.

This represents a year-over-year increase of 162% to 171%. These estimates reflect the Company's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Information

The unaudited financial information disclosed in this press release is preliminary. The audit of the financial statements and related notes to be included in the Company's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015 is still in progress. In addition, because an audit of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting in connection with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has not yet been completed, the Company makes no representation as to the effectiveness of those internal controls as of the end of fiscal year 2015.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to 58.com Inc., non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings/(losses) per share and per ADS by excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses of the group, net off the amount allocated to noncontrolling interests, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, (iii) loss resulted from revaluation of previously held interest in Ganji, (iv) share-based compensation expenses included in the equity pick-up of net loss of Ganji and (v) gain on disposal of a business, net off income tax expense. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand the Company's operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess the Company's core operating results, as they exclude certain expenses that are not expected to result in cash payments. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions and their impact on share-based compensation attributable to noncontrolling interests have been and will continue to be incurred in the future and are not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures, but should be considered in the overall evaluation of the Company's results. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of its (i) share-based compensation expenses of the group, net off the amount allocated to noncontrolling interests, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, (iii) loss resulted from revaluation of previously held interest in Ganji, (iv) share-based compensation expenses included in the equity pick-up of net loss of Ganji and (v) gain on disposal of a business, net off income tax expense, which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.
