"We achieved strong year-over-year growth in our two business segments during the second quarter of 2010," commented Mr. Rick Luk, Chief Executive Officer of Jingwei International. "This quarter's performance demonstrates that our strategy to enter select growth areas last year is paying off. In particular, the Data Mining segment continued to benefit from strong demand for our bundled mobile value-added service (VAS) offerings. Software Services, on the other hand, enjoyed stellar revenue and earnings growth from providing software solutions to major telecom carriers to support IPTV / DTV deployment. In addition, the delivery of an App Store software platform to a major telecom carrier has contributed favorably to this quarter's results."
Business Outlook
Given the strong momentum in the first half of 2010 and the outlook for the remainder of the year, the Company reaffirms its previous revenue guidance for fiscal year 2010 of total revenues between $37.5 million and $42.0 million, and raises its net income guidance to between $7.8 million and $8.7 million from between $7.3 million and $8.2 million. Pursuant to asset acquisition agreement with Shenzhen Newway Digital S&T Co., LTD ("Newway"), the Company has agreed to pay Newway an acquisition fee of RMB 45,000,000 in the form of both cash and contingent shares. As the net income targets at the one-year anniversary have been met, the Company expects to pay 3.3 million contingent shares to Newway in the third quarter of 2010. Taking into account of the impact of these shares, we expect this year's diluted share count to approximate 20.8 million on a weighed average basis, and diluted earnings per share to range from $0.38 to $0.42 in 2010, which compares to the Company's original guidance of between $0.43 and $0.48 in 2010 based on 17.05 million shares outstanding.
"Looking at the second half of the year, while there are rising concerns over the possibility of an economic slowdown in China, due to the combined effect of weaker-than-expected economic recovery in the US and European Union and tightening credits in the Chinese banking system, we have observed that general industry dynamics still appear favorable to support our growth strategy. Therefore, we remain cautiously optimistic about our growth projection for the traditionally strong second half of the year. In terms of growth initiatives, we expect our data mining, interactive marketing and bundled mobile VAS solutions to continue to perform well. In the Software Services segment, we are well positioned to benefit from continued growth in demand for our software solutions to support the 3G rollout as well as the nationwide IPTV/DTV deployment in the telecom and cable TV sector. And, as the 3-network convergence and the national smart grid modernization programs gain traction, we will consider leveraging our strong cash position to conduct disciplined M&A activities, that are accretive to earnings and are consistent with our ultimate goal of creating long term shareholder value," Mr. Luk concluded.
