NetEase.com Reports Second Quarter 2010 Unaudited Financial Results

2010-08-19 03:26 2790
    BEIJING, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- NetEase.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTES), one of China's leading Internet and online game services providers, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

    William Ding, Chief Executive Officer and Director of NetEase, stated, "Our newer games and the operation of Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft(R) continued to drive solid quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year gains in online games revenue.

    "In June, we launched a major marketing promotion for Fantasy Westward Journey with the introduction of our new product spokesperson, renowned music artist Jay Chou. Since July, we have also started to roll out a first-of-its-kind game design feature in China, a dual scene setting for Fantasy Westward Journey players, known as 'Weimei' version, meaning 'Perfect Beauty.' Now players may opt for the Perfect Beauty scene setting which features 3D graphics and an even cuter and more realistic appearance of the role characters. We also continue to work hard on the next expansion pack of Fantasy Westward Journey, which is scheduled for release during the fourth quarter and we remain on schedule to release new expansion packs for Westward Journey Online II and III during the third quarter.

    "Performance of our newest game, Heroes of Tang Dynasty, exceeded our expectation in its first full quarter, and as a result, we will advance the release of its next expansion pack to the third quarter. We were pleased with the performance of Tianxia II during the second quarter, closing a successful first year of commercial launch. We have also been planning large scale promotional campaigns for each of these games in the third quarter. In addition, on August 16, we hosted a big event for players to celebrate the eighth anniversary of Westward Journey Online II in Beijing, China.

    "World of Warcraft, a game licensed from Blizzard Entertainment, continued to perform well during the second quarter. We have now received the relevant government authorities' approval for the operation of Wrath of the Lich King(R), the game's second expansion set, and will start the commercial operation of the expansion as soon as we complete all necessary technical procedures. We have a series of promotional activities planned to coincide with the expansion's release to attract both new and returning players, and we look forward to the successful launch of Wrath of the Lich King in China."

    Mr. Ding continued, "The overall traffic for our portal business grew significantly during the second quarter mainly due to our comprehensive coverage of major events such as the 2010 FIFA World Cup and Expo 2010 in Shanghai. Advertising revenue growth of approximately 60% quarter-over-quarter and 100% year-over-year resulted from a combination of factors including the domestic economic recovery; improved portal traffic during the second quarter, increasing recognition by advertisers of our user diversity, extensive reach and stickiness of our portal, and improved internal organizational structure resulting in more effective marketing and sales execution."

    Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results

    Revenues

    Total revenues for the second quarter of 2010 were RMB1.3 billion (US$198.6 million), compared to RMB1.2 billion and RMB872.1 million for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively.

    Revenues from online games were RMB1.2 billion (US$174.1 million) for the second quarter of 2010, compared to RMB1.1 billion and RMB781.5 million for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively.

    Revenues from advertising services were RMB145.9 million (US$21.5 million) for the second quarter of 2010, compared to RMB91.5 million and RMB72.8 million for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively.

    Revenues from wireless value-added services and others ("WVAS and others") were RMB19.9 million (US$2.9 million) for the second quarter of 2010, compared to RMB18.1 million and RMB17.8 million for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively.

    Gross Profit

    Gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 was RMB878.4 million (US$129.5 million), compared to RMB780.7 million and RMB691.9 million for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the increased game revenues from our self-developed game, Heroes of Tang Dynasty, launched in April 2010, and World of Warcraft, a game licensed from Blizzard Entertainment, as well as increased advertising service revenue, partially offset by increased cost of revenues. Increased advertising revenue was attributable to a combination of factors as described above. Increased cost of revenues was primarily due to increased royalties and consultancy fees related to World of Warcraft operations, increased headcount-related costs and share-based compensation cost related to grants made under the Company's new restricted share unit plan, and increased information cost during the second quarter of 2010.

    The year-over-year increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to increased revenues from online game and advertising services. Increased online game revenue was mainly attributable to World of Warcraft operations, Tianxia II and Heroes of Tang Dynasty. In addition, the Company recognized online game revenue of RMB10.4 million (US$1.5 million) from the clean-up of dormant accounts in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to RMB83.3 million for the same period of 2009 resulting from a change in our user agreement with online game players implemented in May 2009. Increased advertising revenue was attributable to a combination of factors as described above. The foregoing revenue increases were partially offset by increased cost of revenues such as royalties and consultancy fees, server depreciation charges and server custody fees related to World of Warcraft operations, headcount-related costs for online game and advertising businesses as well as increased share-based compensation and information costs during the second quarter of 2010 as explained above.

    Gross Profit (Loss) Margin

    Gross profit margin for the online game business for the second quarter of 2010 was 71.3%, compared to 72.1% and 88.3% for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively. Quarter-over-quarter gross profit margin remained relatively stable during the second quarter of 2010. The year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to the operation of Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft in the current quarter. Lower margin was reported for World of Warcraft operations compared to the Company's self-developed games primarily because of royalties, amortization of license fees and technical consultancy service fees associated with the licensing and operation of this game.

    Gross profit margin for the advertising business for the second quarter of 2010 was 46.4%, compared to 22.9% and 16.6% for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases in gross profit margin were primarily due to the significant increase in advertising revenues, partially offset by a relatively small increase in cost of revenue during the second quarter of 2010.

    Gross loss margin for the WVAS and others business for the second quarter of 2010 was 38.7%, compared to 34.0% and 43.0% for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively.

    Operating Expenses

    Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were RMB268.7 million (US$39.6 million), compared to RMB225.7 million and RMB174.8 million for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase in operating expenses was primarily due to marketing promotion for Fantasy Westward Journey and Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft, increased bad debt provisions and increased share-based compensation cost relating to grants made under the Company's new restricted share unit plan in the current quarter. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased advertising spending on corporate-brand building, game-specific and portal-related marketing promotional activities such as sponsorships of car and fashion shows, increased share-based compensation cost and increased headcount-related costs in the sales and marketing, general administration and research and development areas.

    Net Profit

    Net profit for the second quarter of 2010 totaled RMB485.7 million (US$71.6 million), compared to RMB452.3 million and RMB468.1 million for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company reported a net foreign exchange loss of RMB67.8 million (US$10.0 million), compared to a net foreign exchange loss of RMB39.5 million in the preceding quarter and a net foreign exchange gain of RMB47.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year changes in foreign exchange gains/losses were mainly due to the translation losses arising from the Company's Euro-denominated bank deposit balances as of June 30, 2010 as the exchange rate of the Euro against the RMB fluctuated over the periods. In addition, the Company made a donation of RMB15.0 million (US$2.2 million) to assist the victims of the Yu Shu Earthquake during the second quarter of 2010. NetEase reported basic and diluted earnings per ADS of US$0.55 each for the second quarter of 2010. The Company reported basic and diluted earnings per ADS of US$0.51 and US$0.51 and US$0.54 and US$0.53 for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively.

    Income Taxes

    The Company recorded a net income tax charge of RMB75.5 million (US$11.1 million) for the second quarter of 2010, compared with RMB94.5 million and RMB115.4 million for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2010 was 13.4% as compared to 17.4% and 19.8% for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in effective tax rate was mainly due to the reversal of valuation allowance resulting from the utilization of taxable losses from prior years by one of the Company's subsidiaries in China to offset against its current quarter taxable profits. The year-over-year decrease in effective tax rate was primarily due to the fact that the local tax authority notified one of the Company's principal subsidiaries in June 2009 that it should pay its corporate income tax liability for 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 at the rate of 12.5% instead of 7.5% based on the interpretation of a new circular issued by the State Administration of Taxation in April 2009.

    Other Information

    As of June 30, 2010, the Company's total cash and time deposit balance was RMB8.3 billion (US$1.2 billion), compared to RMB7.0 billion as of December 31, 2009. In addition, the Company had a restricted cash balance of approximately RMB32.0 million (US$4.7 million) as of June 30, 2010, representing a security guarantee for consulting fee payments due to Blizzard Entertainment for a 12-month period to October 2010. The guarantee will be renewable annually until termination of the license agreement for the operation of Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft.
    Cash flows generated from operating activities were RMB744.3 million (US$109.7 million) for the second quarter of 2010, compared to RMB676.5 million and RMB544.4 million for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2009, respectively.
