  • Cash used for repurchasing shares in the third quarter of 2011 was $66.1 million.

Jason Jiang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Focus Media said, "We reached two important historical milestones in the third quarter of 2011. Not only did we achieve record high total revenue in our core business, but we also opened up a new chapter in the history of the Company whereby we have taken our media into an interactive age. Driven by positive secular domestic consumption trend in the PRC, we believe for the rest of the year and 2012 advertising demand for our media will continue to be healthy and robust. Over the next several years, leveraging our media interactive capability, we will strive to retain our brand advertising leadership in the industry as well as endeavor to become one of the key default promotional media platforms in the PRC."

Kit Low, the Company Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer added, "In the third quarter of 2011, the Company achieved aggregate net revenue year on year growth in our LCD display (including the movie theater network), in-store and poster frame businesses of 53%. GAAP net income attributable to Focus Media and non-GAAP net income attributable to Focus Media for the third quarter of 2011 was $62.2 million and $82.7 million, respectively. We achieved a positive net cash inflow from operating activities after deducting the purchase of equipment and subsidiaries of $76.1 million in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to a net cash inflow of $37.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 and a net cash inflow of $23.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. In the first three quarters of 2011, the Company cumulatively generated net cash inflow from operating activities net of capital expenditure and acquisitions of subsidiaries of $118.5 million."

Third Quarter 2011 financial results

The total number of non-digital frames available for use in our poster frame network was 391,304 as of September 30, 2011, as compared to 354,945 as of June 30, 2011. In addition, as of September 30, 2011, we had 34,711 digital frames installed in our poster frame network, a slight decrease from 35,217 as of June 30, 2011 due to optimization of the network. The total number of displays installed in our in-store network was 50,696 as of September 30, 2011, as compared to 50,129 as of June 30, 2011.

Non-GAAP operating expense for the third quarter of 2011 was $46.9 million, representing an increase of 46% from $32.2 million for the third quarter of 2010, which was mainly attributable to: 1) an increase of bad debt provision expenses in the amount of $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2011; 2) an increase of sales commission expenses resulted from revenue growth; and 3) an increase of employees' salary and welfare in the amount of $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2011; and 4) the Company incurred the disposal loss for fixed assets in the amount of $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 to prepare for upgrading most of the screens in seven major cities into the next generation interactive screens for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Net cash inflow from operating activities in the third quarter of 2011 was $86.3 million, increasing by 71% from $50.6 million for the second quarter of 2011 and more than doubling the $34.2 million for the third quarter of 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities for the third quarter of 2011 was $28.1 million. In the third quarter of 2011, the Company incurred capital expenditures of $6.1 million, mostly attributable to upgrading our LCD screens into interactive screens in seven major cities in China, as well as consideration payments of $4.1 million for our poster frame and traditional outdoor billboard related acquisitions, and net investments of $14.9 million in short-term investments (as part of our ongoing effort to improve our interest income by depositing some cash into longer term dated deposits).

Business Outlook for Fourth Quarter 2011

The Company provides the following guidance with respect to the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2011:

Net revenues for the core business (inclusive of the LCD display network and other, the in-store network and the poster frame network) are expected to be in the range of $212-$214 million, the mid-point of which would represent year-on-year growth of 45% and quarter-on-quarter growth of 9%. Net revenues for the non-core business (the traditional outdoor billboard network) are expected to be in the range of $14-$16 million. The Company's non-GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of $88-$90 million. The Company estimates the weighted average ADS outstanding for the calculation of fully diluted earnings per ADS in the fourth quarter is 140 million, assuming no further share repurchases during the quarter.

Announced Share Repurchase Program

On October 3, 2011, Focus Media announced an increase in the size of its share repurchase program to US$650 million from $450 million. As of November 17, 2011, the Company has cumulatively spent approximately $355 million in share repurchases.

Foreign Currency Translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The financial records of the Company's subsidiaries are maintained in its local currency, the Renminbi ("RMB"), which is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of September 30, 2011, which was $1 to RMB6.3549. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the third quarter of 2011, which was $1 to RMB6.4132. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income in the statement of equity and comprehensive income (loss).

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 gross profit (cumulatively and by segment), non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating profit (loss), non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP fully-diluted earnings per ADS, all excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, profit or loss from disposal of previously acquired subsidiaries, loss from equity method investee and impairment charges of goodwill. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to better assess operating performance of the Company. 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 a consistent method from quarter to quarter and the reconciliation items mostly include share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, profit or loss from disposal of previously acquired subsidiaries, loss from equity method investee and goodwill impairment charges. 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.
