"We are pleased to announce our second quarter results which came in ahead of our previously raised guidance," commented Mr. Michael Chi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Perfect World. "Our strong results were primarily driven by better than anticipated performance of our newly launched 2.5D mysterious adventure MMORPG 'Battle of the Immortals' and increasingly optimistic results from a number of our existing games. We believe our fine-tuned strategy of allocating more resources to longer-term projects and larger expansion packs has really begun to show positive results."
"The successful launch of 'Battle of the Immortals' is a great example. The positive acceptance and strong results following its debut were mainly due to our effective implementation of this strategy. It is also a promising illustration of our ability to leverage our strong R&D capabilities and operating platform as well as leading technologies in the 3D game market to develop and operate hit games in the 2.5D and 2D markets. By spending more time and resources on developing games and larger expansion packs prior to launch, we believe we will effectively lengthen the growth cycle of our games."
"We continue to focus on building a well-rounded, diversified portfolio of games. Our portfolio includes highly differentiated games which provide us with a number of distinctive growth drivers. We currently have a deep pipeline of seven diverse games spanning the 3D, 2.5D and 2D segments. Moving forward, we will build a variety of franchises, including unique flagship titles in each of the 3D, 2.5D and 2D market segments, by utilizing our specialized game engines and production studios that are tailored to each of these areas."
"We are also pleased to announce that we plan to launch our first 2D turn-based cartoon MMORPG, 'Fantasy Zhu Xian,' in the fourth quarter of this year. This new game has many distinctive characteristics and targets a different segment than our 3D real-time game 'Zhu Xian.' We expect to leverage the strong branding of 'Zhu Xian' to effectively penetrate into lower tier cities with this new game and further grow our 'Zhu Xian' franchise."
"Our overseas development efforts are also progressing positively. We continue to hold a leading position in the Chinese online game export market in terms of revenues and geographic coverage. Not only do we license a number of our games in various regions around the world, we are also making progress in operating our own games in North America. During the quarter, we successfully launched 'Zhu Xian' in North America under the name 'Jade Dynasty' through our wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Perfect World Entertainment Inc."
"We are confident that our strong execution capabilities will help raise and maintain the interest of game players for both our newly launched and existing games. We remain fully committed to producing influential, differentiated games in the 3D, 2.5D and 2D game markets, and by doing so we aim to sustain a stable growth rate for our Company over the long term."
Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Total Revenues
Total revenues were RMB521.3 million (USD76.3 million) in 2Q09, an increase of 22.6%, or RMB96.2 million, from RMB425.1 million in 1Q09 and an increase of 55.9%, or RMB186.9 million, from RMB334.4 million in 2Q08.
Online game operation revenues were RMB475.1 million (USD69.6 million) in 2Q09, an increase of 26.0%, or RMB97.9 million, from RMB377.2 million in 1Q09 and an increase of 58.7%, or RMB175.7 million, from RMB299.4 million in 2Q08. The strong sequential growth in online game operation revenues was primarily attributable to the successful launch of open beta testing for "Battle of the Immortals," the successful release of expansion packs for a number of the Company's existing games, and a series of successful marketing activities.
The aggregate average concurrent users (ACU) for games under operation in mainland China was approximately 761,000 in 2Q09, as compared to 615,000 in 1Q09 and 619,000 in 2Q08. The active paying customers (APC) for games operated in mainland China under the item-based revenue model was approximately 1,877,000 in 2Q09, as compared to 1,464,000 in 1Q09 and 1,530,000 in 2Q08. The average revenue per active paying customer (ARPU) for games operated in mainland China under the item-based revenue model was RMB237 in 2Q09, as compared to RMB244 in 1Q09 and RMB188 in 2Q08. The increase in ACU and APC from 1Q09 was mainly due to the strong performance of the newly launched "Battle of the Immortals" and the continued popularity of a number of the Company's existing games. The slight decrease in ARPU from 1Q09 was mainly due to the dilution effect arising from the new game launch.
Overseas licensing revenues were RMB46.2 million (USD6.8 million) in 2Q09, as compared to RMB48.0 million in 1Q09 and RMB35.0 million in 2Q08.
Cost of Revenues
The cost of revenues was RMB66.8 million (USD9.8 million) in 2Q09, an increase of 18.3%, or RMB10.3 million, from RMB56.4 million in 1Q09 and an increase of 62.4%, or RMB25.7 million, from RMB41.1 million in 2Q08. The increase from 1Q09 was mainly due to an increase in sales-related taxes.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit was RMB454.5 million (USD66.5 million) in 2Q09, an increase of 23.3%, or RMB85.8 million, from RMB368.7 million in 1Q09, and an increase of 55.0%, or RMB161.2 million, from RMB293.3 million in 2Q08. Gross margin was 87.2% in 2Q09, as compared to 86.7% in 1Q09 and 87.7% in 2Q08.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were RMB174.9 million (USD25.6 million) in 2Q09, an increase of 26.4%, or RMB36.5 million, from RMB138.3 million in 1Q09, and an increase of 37.3%, or RMB47.5 million, from RMB127.3 million in 2Q08. The increase in operating expenses from 1Q09 was mainly attributed to higher sales and marketing expenses, R&D expenses and general and administrative expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 42.8%, or RMB21.8 million, from RMB50.9 million in 1Q09 to RMB72.7 million (USD10.6 million) in 2Q09. This was largely due to an increase in advertising and promotional expenses associated with the launch of "Battle of the Immortals."
R&D expenses increased by 14.1%, or RMB8.0 million, from RMB57.0 million in 1Q09 to RMB65.0 million (USD9.5 million) in 2Q09. The increase from 1Q09 was primarily due to an increase in staff costs.
General and administrative expenses increased by 22.1%, or RMB6.7 million, from RMB30.4 million in 1Q09 to RMB37.2 million (USD5.4 million) in 2Q09. This was primarily attributable to an increase in staff costs and professional fees.
Operating Profit
Operating profit was RMB279.7 million (USD40.9 million) in 2Q09, an increase of 21.4%, or RMB49.3 million, from RMB230.4 million in 1Q09, and an increase of 68.5%, or RMB113.7 million, from RMB166.0 million in 2Q08. Non-GAAP operating profit was RMB300.0 million (USD43.9 million) in 2Q09, an increase of 22.0%, or RMB54.2 million, from RMB245.8 million in 1Q09, and an increase of 68.7%, or RMB122.1 million, from RMB177.8 million in 2Q08.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was RMB19.8 million (USD2.9 million) in 2Q09, as compared to RMB19.9 million in 1Q09 and RMB5.3 million in 2Q08.
Net Income attributable to the Company's shareholders
Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB262.6 million (USD38.4 million) in 2Q09, an increase of 21.9%, or RMB47.1 million, from RMB215.4 million in 1Q09, and an increase of 59.6%, or RMB98.1 million, from RMB164.5 million in 2Q08. Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB282.9 million (USD41.4 million) in 2Q09, an increase of 22.5%, or RMB52.0 million, from RMB230.9 million in 1Q09, and an increase of 60.4%, or RMB106.5 million, from RMB176.3 million in 2Q08.
Basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB5.21 (USD0.76) and RMB4.94 (USD0.72), respectively, in 2Q09, as compared to RMB4.14 and RMB3.96, respectively, in 1Q09, and RMB2.93 and RMB2.76, respectively, in 2Q08. Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB5.61 (USD0.82) and RMB5.32 (USD0.78), respectively, in 2Q09, as compared to RMB4.43 and RMB4.25, respectively, in 1Q09, and RMB3.14 and RMB2.96, respectively, in 2Q08.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had RMB945.7 million (USD138.5 million) of cash and cash equivalents, as compared to RMB986.4 million as of March 31, 2009. The decrease was mainly due to a payment of approximately USD52.4 million to SB Asia Investment Fund II, L.P. ("SAIF") in June 2009 for the repurchase of the Company's Class A and Class B ordinary shares, and was partially offset by the net cash inflow generated from the Company's online game operations.
Capital Increase and Share Transfer Transaction with Beijing Perfect World Cultural Communication Co., Ltd.
During the second quarter of 2009, Beijing Perfect World Network Technology Co., Ltd. ("PW Network"), the Company's controlled entity, completed the transaction with Beijing Perfect World Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. ("PW Cultural"), a media and entertainment company, to acquire additional equity in and increase the registered capital of PW Cultural. Following the completion of the transaction, PW Network holds 89% equity in PW Cultural. As such, PW Cultural has been consolidated into the Company's financial statements since the second quarter of 2009.
ADS and Share Repurchases
In October 2008, the Company's Board authorized an ADS repurchase program to repurchase up to USD100 million of the Company's ADSs from October 2008 to October 2009. As of August 9, 2009, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 1,683,192 ADSs on the open market.
In addition to and separate from the above ADS repurchase program, the Company completed a repurchase of 18,750,000 shares of its Class A ordinary shares for approximately USD56.6 million from SAIF and an affiliate of SAIF in January 2009, and a repurchase of a total of 1,203,812 shares of its Class A ordinary shares and 11,296,188 shares of its Class B ordinary shares for approximately USD52.4 million from SAIF in June 2009.
All the repurchased shares have been cancelled pursuant to Cayman Islands' law.
Business Outlook
Based on the Company's current operations, total revenues for the third quarter of 2009 are expected to be between RMB547 million and RMB563 million, representing an increase of 5% to 8% on a sequential basis and 43% to 47% on a year-over-year basis. This reflects expected growth of the newly launched "Battle of the Immortals" and other existing games. With the Company's strong executional capabilities, the Company aims to sustain a stable growth rate over the long term.
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 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 access the Company's core operating results, as they exclude certain expenses that are not expected to result in cash payments. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Share-based compensation charge has been and will 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 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.
