"We are pleased to announce our fourth quarter and full year 2009 results," commented Mr. Michael Chi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Perfect World. "We had a great year as we successfully expanded our portfolio by launching our first 2.5D MMORPG 'Battle of the Immortals' and our first 2D turn-based MMORPG 'Fantasy Zhu Xian,' both of which quickly emerged as popular games in the market. Our existing games also contributed to our encouraging results as we continued to enhance game content by releasing a steady stream of new expansion packs. 'Zhu Xian' and 'Perfect World II,' for example, are two games where new expansion packs have led to meaningful growth."
"Our diversified pipeline of six truly differentiated games that span the 3D, 2.5D and 2D market segments highlights our competitive position in the online game industry. We continue to take advantage of our specialized game engines and production studios to build franchises that include flagship titles in each of these market segments."
"During the past year, we saw a considerable amount of growth in our overseas business and are pleased with our progress. We continued to strengthen our overseas network as we licensed more of our games to additional countries and regions. Our North American operation has seen significant expansion as we also introduced new games to the market through our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary. We are the leader in the Chinese online game export market in terms of revenues and geographic coverage."
"Given what we have accomplished in North America so far, we are pleased to announce that we recently established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Europe. This strategic decision will not only allow us to capture growth opportunities in the European market by leveraging our experience in the North American markets, but will also expand our overseas operational capabilities."
"We believe that 2010 will be an exciting year for us as we have a number of new and diversified games and expansion packs that are scheduled to be launched. We will continue to dedicate more resources to longer-term projects as our modified strategy has demonstrated to be effective in lengthening the growth cycle of both our new and existing games. We aspire to sustain the steady growth of our Company, and will do so by utilizing our proven execution capabilities and strong R&D and operating platform to constantly strive to meet the varied interests and expectations of online game players around the world."
Fourth Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Total Revenues
Total revenues were RMB607.9 million (USD89.1 million) in 4Q09, an increase of 3.0%, or RMB17.9 million, from RMB590.0 million in 3Q09, and an increase of 45.5%, or RMB190.1 million, from RMB417.8 million in 4Q08.
Online game operation revenues were RMB541.8 million (USD79.4 million) in 4Q09, an increase of 11.5%, or RMB55.9 million, from RMB485.9 million in 3Q09, and an increase of 49.4%, or RMB179.2 million, from RMB362.6 million in 4Q08. The sequential growth in online game operation revenues was primarily attributable to a number of achievements, including the launch of "Fantasy Zhu Xian," the release of expansion packs for some of the Company's existing games and a series of marketing activities.
The aggregate average concurrent users (ACU) for games under operation in mainland China was approximately 1,157,000 in 4Q09, as compared to 713,000 in 3Q09 and 690,000 in 4Q08. The active paying customers (APC) for games operated in mainland China under the item-based revenue model was approximately 2,188,000 in 4Q09, as compared to 1,643,000 in 3Q09 and 1,546,000 in 4Q08. The average revenue per active paying customer (ARPU) for games operated in mainland China under the item-based revenue model was RMB223 in 4Q09, as compared to RMB266 in 3Q09 and RMB225 in 4Q08. The increase in ACU and APC from 3Q09 was mainly due to the strong performance of the newly launched "Fantasy Zhu Xian" and the continued popularity of a number of the Company's existing games. The decrease in ARPU from 3Q09 was mainly due to the dilution effect arising from the launch of "Fantasy Zhu Xian" during 4Q09.
Overseas licensing revenues were RMB61.7 million (USD9.0 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB58.8 million in 3Q09 and RMB55.2 million in 4Q08. The increase from 3Q09 was mainly due to an increase in usage-based royalty fees, and was partially offset by a decrease in initial license fees.
Film, television and other revenues were RMB4.5 million (USD0.7 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB45.3 million in 3Q09 and Nil in 4Q08. Most of the film, television and other revenues recognized in 4Q09 were related to licensing of the copyright for the movie "Sophie's Revenge," which was released in August 2009.
Cost of Revenues
The cost of revenues was RMB81.5 million (USD11.9 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB95.0 million in 3Q09 and RMB49.3 million in 4Q08.
The online game related cost was RMB79.8 million (USD11.7 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB68.0 million in 3Q09 and RMB49.3 million in 4Q08. The increase from 3Q09 was mainly due to increases in sales-related taxes and staff cost.
The film, television and other cost was RMB1.7 million (USD0.3 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB27.0 million in 3Q09 and Nil in 4Q08. Most of the film, television and other cost recognized in 4Q09 was related to the movie "Sophie's Revenge."
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit was RMB526.4 million (USD77.1 million) in 4Q09, an increase of 6.3%, or RMB31.4 million, from RMB495.0 million in 3Q09, and an increase of 42.9%, or RMB157.9 million, from RMB368.5 million in 4Q08. Gross margin was 86.6% in 4Q09, as compared to 83.9% in 3Q09 and 88.2% in 4Q08.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were RMB249.8 million (USD36.6 million) in 4Q09, an increase of 26.6%, or RMB52.5 million, from RMB197.3 million in 3Q09, and an increase of 14.1%, or RMB30.9 million, from RMB218.9 million in 4Q08. The increase in operating expenses from 3Q09 was mainly attributed to higher sales and marketing expenses, R&D expenses and general and administrative expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 41.7%, or RMB36.7 million, from RMB88.0 million in 3Q09 to RMB124.7 million (USD18.3 million) in 4Q09. This was largely due to an increase in advertising and promotional expenses associated with both the launch of the new game "Fantasy Zhu Xian" and the launch of "Tale of the Mermaid," a large-scale expansion pack for "Perfect World II," during 4Q09. In addition, the Company also incurred a special charge of approximately RMB17.5 million (USD2.6 million) associated with a change in the estimated useful lives of certain intangible assets acquired from InterServ which are related to outsourcing services. The Company re-allocated and integrated most of the acquired outsourcing team into its game R&D business to further enhance the Company's R&D capabilities.
R&D expenses increased by 7.6%, or RMB5.4 million, from RMB71.5 million in 3Q09 to RMB76.9 million (USD11.3 million) in 4Q09. The increase from 3Q09 was primarily due to an increase in staff cost.
General and administrative expenses increased by 27.7%, or RMB10.5 million, from RMB37.8 million in 3Q09 to RMB48.3 million (USD7.1 million) in 4Q09. The increase from 3Q09 was mainly due to an increase in staff cost, including a special year-end bonus.
Operating Profit
Operating profit was RMB276.5 million (USD40.5 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB297.7 million in 3Q09 and RMB149.5 million in 4Q08. Non-GAAP operating profit was RMB298.5 million (USD43.7 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB317.9 million in 3Q09 and RMB244.7 million in 4Q08. The decrease from 3Q09 was mainly due to the special charge of approximately RMB17.5 million (USD2.6 million) associated with a change in the estimated useful lives of certain intangible assets acquired from InterServ which are related to the outsourcing services. In addition, the launch of new game "Fantasy Zhu Xian" and "Tale of the Mermaid," a large-scale expansion pack for "Perfect World II," both during 4Q09, also caused an increase of advertising and promotional expenses.
Total Other Income
Total other income was RMB11.8 million (USD1.7 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB2.4 million in 3Q09 and RMB8.9 million in 4Q08. The increase from 3Q09 was mainly due to recognition of certain government financial incentives in 4Q09.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was RMB17.5 million (USD2.6 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB11.1 million in 3Q09 and RMB33.6 million in 4Q08. The increase from 3Q09 was mainly due to an increase in withholding tax on overseas licensing revenues and an increase in income tax associated with domestic online game operations.
Net Income Attributable to the Company's Shareholders
Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB270.8 million (USD39.7 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB288.3 million in 3Q09 and RMB124.8 million in 4Q08. Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB292.8 million (USD42.9 million) in 4Q09, as compared to RMB308.5 million in 3Q09 and RMB220.0 million in 4Q08.
Basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB5.44 (USD0.80) and RMB5.09 (USD0.75), respectively, in 4Q09, as compared to RMB5.83 and RMB5.50, respectively, in 3Q09, and RMB2.22 and RMB2.12, respectively, in 4Q08. Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB5.88 (USD0.86) and RMB5.50 (USD0.81), respectively, in 4Q09, as compared to RMB6.24 and RMB5.88, respectively, in 3Q09, and RMB3.91 and RMB3.74, respectively, in 4Q08.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had RMB1,567.2 million (USD229.6 million) of cash and cash equivalents, as compared to RMB1,194.0 million as of September 30, 2009. The increase was mainly due to net cash inflow generated from the Company's online game operations.

Recent Development
Established Subsidiary in Europe
In January 2010, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Europe to expand its overseas operating capabilities.
Business Outlook
Based on the Company's current operations, total revenues for the first quarter of 2010 are expected to be between RMB620 million and RMB644 million, representing an increase of 2% to 6% on a sequential basis and an increase of 46% to 51% on a year-over-year basis. This reflects expected growth from the Company's existing games.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders and non-GAAP earnings per ADS by excluding share-based compensation charge and an in-process research and development charge related to the InterServ acquisition in October 2008 (which was recorded only in 4Q08) from operating profit, net income attributable to the Company's shareholders and earnings per ADS, respectively. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand the Company's operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess the Company's core operating results, as they exclude certain expenses that are (i) not expected to result in cash payments or (ii) non-recurring in nature. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be incurred and is not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures. It should be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. None of the non-GAAP measures is a measure of net income attributable to the Company's shareholders, operating profit, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our share-based compensation charge and an in-process research and development charge related to the InterServ acquisition in October 2008 in our reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are set forth at the end of this release.
