On the native advertising side, we partnered with some well-known international brands on innovative native advertisement projects which have turned out to be immensely successful in terms of viewership and revenue contributions. As we expand in the native advertising arena, we are also exploring personalized marketing, as characterized by our strategic investment in the personalized news-feed mobile app, Yidian Zixun. Looking ahead, as we continue to improve our mobile product development and content generation capabilities, we are confident in our ability to remain firmly ahead of the curve in capitalizing on emerging trends in order to continuously expand our user base, strengthen monetization efforts and in turn deliver long-term value to our shareholders. "

Mr. Ya Li, President of Phoenix New Media, stated, "In the third quarter, the incremental revenue growth and operating margin improvement were largely supported by the strong 45.5% year-over-year growth in net advertising revenues. As we have strengthened our advertising capabilities, we continue to invest in our platform by enhancing our mobile product offering and supporting the steady growth of our verticals. Our auto, real estate, fashion, finance, and sports verticals have continued to pick up momentum in attracting new users, serving to further elevate our brand recognition and provide us with future monetization opportunities. Furthermore, on the video side, the ongoing success of several of our in-house productions, which are co-developed with Phoenix TV, continues to demonstrate the strong potential of our convergence strategy and has enabled us to implement multiple monetization strategies that aim to diversify and streamline the content distribution process."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Phoenix New Media Limited uses adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited, adjusted net margin and adjusted net income per diluted ADS, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation. Adjusted gross margin is adjusted gross profit divided by total revenues. Adjusted income from operations is income from operations excluding share-based compensation. Adjusted operating margin is adjusted income from operations divided by total revenues. Adjusted net income attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited is net income attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited excluding share-based compensation, gain on disposition of subsidiaries and acquisition of equity investments, and loss from equity investments. Adjusted net margin is adjusted net income attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by total revenues. Adjusted net income per diluted ADS is adjusted net income attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by weighted average number of diluted ADSs. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the non-cash impact of share-based compensation, gain on disposition of subsidiaries and acquisition of equity investments, and loss from equity investments add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews adjusted net income together with net income to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that using multiple measures to evaluate its business allows both management and investors to assess the Company's performance against its competitors and ultimately monitor its capacity to generate returns for its investors. The Company also believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of non-cash share-based compensation, gain on disposition of subsidiaries and acquisition of equity investments, and loss from equity investments. Share-based compensation and loss from equity investments have been and will continue to be significant and recurring in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
