These increases were mainly due to an increase in network infrastructure capacity.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB522.4 million ($83.0 million), representing an increase of 66.8% from the corresponding period in 2010, mainly due to an increase in personnel-related expenses and marketing expenses.
Research and development expenses were RMB413.8 million ($65.7 million), a 78.4% increase from the corresponding period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of research and development personnel.

Loss from equity method accounting in 2011 was RMB179.4 million ($28.5 million), representing an increase of RMB170.4 million ($27.1 million) compared to 2010. This increase was mainly attributable to Baidu's cash investment in iQiyi.
Income tax expense was RMB1.189 billion ($188.9 million), compared to an income tax expense of RMB536.0 million in 2010. The effective tax rate for 2011 was 15.2% as compared to 13.2% in 2010.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Baidu's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Baidu uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: adjusted EBITDA, operating profit excluding share-based compensation expenses, net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses. The presentation of these 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 GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures" and "Reconciliation from net cash provided by operating activities to adjusted EBITDA" set forth at the end of this release.
Baidu believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses, particularly share-based compensation expenses, that may not be indicative of its operating We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to Baidu's historical performance and liquidity. Baidu has computed its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter since April 1, 2006. Baidu believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charge that has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our results of operations. A limitation of using non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is that it does not include all items that impact our net income for the period. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
