"In the second quarter of 2011, we experienced strong demand across service lines and geographical markets," said HiSoft Chief Executive Officer Mr. Tiak Koon Loh. "Our confidence in the growth of our business is reflected in our decision to increase full year 2011 top- and bottom-line guidance. In the second quarter, we experienced positive pricing action on contracts signed with some significant clients. Another positive trend in the second quarter was the quicker than expected recovery of our Japan business as more companies in Japan are seeking outsourcing services."

Mr. Loh continued, "Our investment in building higher value-added service offerings is seeing encouraging returns including new client wins in the China domestic sector. Currently, clients in this sector are driving the strong consulting and packaged solution services revenue growth and many have the potential to grow into key clients in the future. We will continue our investment to drive higher value-added services as we target to develop more sophisticated solutions and expand our significant client base."

Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues were US$50.9 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 46.6% year-over-year from US$34.7 million for the corresponding period in 2010. The year-over-year increase in net revenues was driven by strong demand across geographies and verticals including healthy demand from our Japan business following a slower first quarter as a result of the earthquake in March.

Net Revenues by Service Line

The Company's two service lines consist of IT services, which includes consulting and packaged solution services ("CPS") and application development, testing and maintenance services ("ADM"), and research and development ("R&D") services.

Net revenues from IT services were US$27.0 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 55.4% year-over-year from US$17.4 million for the corresponding period in 2010. Net revenues from R&D services were US$23.9 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 37.8% year-over-year from US$17.3 million for the corresponding period in 2010. The Company's CPS services continue to show good growth potential, with revenues increasing 284.0% year-over-year. The growth can be attributed primarily to the Company's transition into providing additional higher value-added services to clients, especially in the domestic China market.

Net Revenues by Geographic Markets

Based on the location of clients' headquarters, the United States and Europe, the Company's largest geographic market, accounted for US$30.5 million or 60.1% of net revenues during the second quarter of 2011, followed by 17.5% for Japan, 16.4% for Greater China and 6.0% for Others.

Measuring the Company's revenues by geographic markets based on the location of the contract signing entities, Greater China accounted for 39.9% of net revenues in the second quarter of 2011, while the United States and Europe accounted for 23.7%, Japan accounted for 21.8% and Others accounted for 14.6%.

Largest Clients as a Percentage of Net Revenues

Revenues from the Company's top three clients, top five clients and top ten clients accounted for 30.7%, 39.5% and 54.4% of net revenues, respectively, during the second quarter of 2011, compared to 33.2%, 44.8% and 61.2%, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2010.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was US$18.0 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 39.3% year-over-year from US$12.9 million for the corresponding period in 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, gross margin was 35.3% compared to 37.2% for the corresponding period in 2010. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin mainly was attributed to the Company hiring ahead of the curve to be able to meet demand for higher value-added service offerings.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses, which include general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing expenses and change in fair value of contingent consideration payable for business acquisitions, were US$14.1 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 64.6% year-over-year from US$8.6 million for the corresponding period in 2010. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to expenses relating to the strengthening of sales teams, the addition of management capacity, and increased expenses relating to operation as a publicly listed company.

Operating Income and Operating Margin

Operating income for the second quarter of 2011 was US$3.8 million, a decrease of 11.1% year-over-year from US$4.3 million for the corresponding period in 2010.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 11.2% for the second quarter of 2011, compared to 17.1% for the corresponding period in 2010. The year-over-year decline in operating income and margin was primarily due to the Company's continued investment efforts to grow its higher value-added services business.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was US$0.5 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to US$0.7 million provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2010.

Net Income and Earnings per ADS

Net income attributable to HiSoft Technology International Limited was US$3.9 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 3.9% year-over-year from US$3.8 million for the corresponding period in 2010. Diluted earnings per ADS was US$0.12 for the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of US$0.01 per ADS from foreign currency loss (3), it was US$0.13 for the second quarter of 2011, compared to US$0.17 for the corresponding period in 2010.

Non-GAAP net income was US$5.8 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 6.7% year-over-year from US$5.4 million for the corresponding period in 2010. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS was US$0.18 in the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of US$0.01 per ADS from foreign currency loss, it was US$0.19 in the second quarter of 2011, compared to US$0.24 in the corresponding period in 2010.

Outlook for the Third Quarter and Full Year 2011

For the third quarter 2011, based on current market and operating conditions and current book orders, the Company expects:

  • Net revenues to be in the estimated range of US$56 million to US$57 million, representing an expected growth rate of between 44.1% to 46.7% year-over-year
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS to be in the estimated range of US$0.22 to US$0.23, excluding foreign currency exchange gains or losses. This represents an expected growth rate of between 4.8% to 9.5% year-over-year, based on 32.6 million weighted average ADSs outstanding

For the full year 2011, based on current market and operating conditions and current book orders, the Company raises its top- and bottom-line guidance as follows:

  • Net revenues to be at least US$212 million, representing an expected growth rate of at least 44.6% year-over-year
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS to be in the estimated range of US$0.80 to US$0.84, excluding foreign currency exchange gains or losses. This represents an expected growth rate of between 14.3% to 20.0% year-over-year, based on 32.3 million weighted average ADSs outstanding.

Due to continued volatility in the currency markets, the non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS outlook excludes foreign currency exchange gains or losses. In addition, the non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS outlook assumes an effective income tax rate of 10% to 12%.

These estimates are based on current market and operating conditions, are subject to change, and may be influenced positively or negatively by factors outside the Company's control, including but not limited to the recent volatility in macroeconomic events in the markets in which the Company operates.

Recent Developments

  • Effective August 15, 2011, the Company announced executive chairman Mr. Cheng-Yaw Sun has transitioned to the role of non-executive chairman in order to devote more time to board governance and special projects. This transition is in line with the Company's continued efforts to strengthen its corporate governance practice.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement HiSoft's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, HiSoft uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS and related margins which exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets and change in fair value of contingent consideration payable for business acquisition. Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS for prior periods have been reclassified so that the presentations are consistent. 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.

HiSoft believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of its operating performance. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. A limitation of using non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS and related margins is that these non-GAAP measures exclude the share-based compensation charges, amortization of acquired intangible assets and change in fair value of contingent consideration payable for business acquisition that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the business. The presentation of these measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported of forecasted by other companies. 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 comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
