BEIJING, Aug. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --Phoenix New Media Limited (NYSE: FENG) ("Phoenix New Media", "ifeng" or the "Company"), a leading new media company in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Mr. Shuang Liu, CEO of Phoenix New Media, commented, "Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment during the second quarter of 2019, we remained committed to the sustained growth and evolution of our business. During the second quarter, we continued to refine our combination of AI-powered content recommendation and seasoned editorial curation. Moreover, we further expanded our market-leading content library, which allowed us to explore additional monetization opportunities. Going forward, we are confident that our robust content recommendation system, premium brand equity, and innovative growth initiatives will further solidify our leadership in China's new media industry."

Ms. Betty Ho, CFO of Phoenix New Media, further stated, "In the second quarter of 2019, our total revenues reached RMB395.1 million, representing an 8.6% year-over-year growth and 38.7% sequential growth. Importantly, total revenues for paid services in the second quarter of 2019 increased by 51.1% year over year to RMB70.3 million, mainly driven by the outstanding performance of our digital reading business since the acquisition of Tadu. Also, our new business initiatives made material contributions to our growth as we continued to deliver a broad range of informative content in lifestyle-related categories such as real estate, food, and fashion. Our net advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2019 increased by 2.3% year over year to RMB324.8 million. Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in the development of AI technology, production of in-house content, and expansion of lifestyle verticals. We are confident that through our strategic allocation of capital and well-defined business objectives we will continue to generate long-term return to our shareholders."

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

REVENUES

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB395.1 million (US$57.5 million), representing an increase of 8.6% from RMB363.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was caused by the consolidated revenues of RMB49.2 million (US$7.2 million) in the second quarter of 2019 from Beijing Yitian Xindong Network Technology Co., Ltd. ("Yitian Xindong" or "Tadu") consolidated starting from December 28, 2018 and the consolidated revenues of RMB84.6 million (US$12.3 million), starting from April 1, 2019, from Beijing Fenghuang Tianbo Network Technology Co., Ltd. ("Tianbo"). The Company's net advertising revenues from traditional business decreased by 28.5% due to the macroeconomic uncertainties and increased competitions.

Net advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB324.8 million (US$47.3 million), representing an increase of 2.3% from RMB317.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the consolidation of advertising revenues from Tianbo. However, the Company's net advertising revenues from traditional business declined due to the above stated reason.

Paid services revenues[1] for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB70.3 million (US$10.2 million), which represented an increase of 51.1% from RMB46.5 million in the second quarter of 2018. Revenues from paid contents for the second quarter of 2019 increased by 126.7% to RMB54.0 million (US$7.9 million) from RMB23.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to the consolidation of digital reading revenues from Tadu. Revenues from games for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million), which represented a decrease of 34.7% from RMB4.0 million in the second quarter of 2018. Revenues from MVAS for the second quarter of 2019 were RMB6.7 million (US$1.0 million), which represented a decrease of 62.0% from RMB17.5 million in the second quarter of 2018. Revenues from others for the second quarter of 2019 increased to RMB7.0 million (US$1.0 million) from RMB1.2 million in the second quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 513.4% year-over-year, which was mainly caused by the increase in revenues from E-commerce and online real estate related services.

[1] Prior to 2019, paid services revenues comprised of (i) revenues from digital entertainment, which included MVAS and digital reading, and (ii) revenues from games and others, which included web-based games, mobile games, content sales, and other online and mobile paid services through the Company's own platforms.

Beginning from January 1, 2019, paid services revenues have been re-classified and now comprised of (i) revenues from paid contents, which includes digital reading, audio books, paid videos, and other content-related sales activities, (ii) revenues from games, which includes web-based games and mobile games, (iii) revenues from MVAS, and (iv) revenues from others. For comparison purposes, the revenues from paid services for the quarters of 2018 have been retrospectively re-classified. 

COST OF REVENUES

Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB185.0 million (US$26.9 million), representing an increase of 37.7% from RMB134.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in cost of revenues was mainly due to the following:    

  • Content and operational costs for the second quarter of 2019 increased to RMB156.4 million (US$22.7 million) from RMB108.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily attributable to the consolidation of content and operational costs of Tianbo and Tadu, and due to an increase in IP production costs.
  • Revenue sharing fees to telecom operators and channel partners for the second quarter of 2019 increased to RMB13.7 million (US$2.0 million) from RMB11.5 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily attributable to the increase in revenue sharing fees paid to content providers by Tadu.
  • Bandwidth costs for the second quarter of 2019 increased to RMB14.9 million (US$2.2 million) from RMB13.9 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Share-based compensation included in cost of revenues was RMB1.9 million (US$0.3 million) in the second quarter of 2019, as compared to RMB0.6 million the second quarter of 2018, primarily attributable to the restricted share units newly granted to some employees in 2019 under a restricted share unit scheme adopted in 2018 by Fread Limited, a subsidiary of the Company.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 decreased to RMB210.1 million (US$30.6 million) from RMB229.6 million in the second quarter of 2018. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2019 decreased to 53.2% from 63.1% in the second quarter of 2018, mainly attributable to a combined effect of a decrease in gross margin of the Company's traditional advertising business and the margin contributions from Tianbo and Tadu.

To supplement the financial measures presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, which excludes the impact of certain reconciling items as stated in the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below. The related reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are presented in the accompanying "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results of Operation Measures to the Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures."

Non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of 2019, which excluded share-based compensation, decreased to 53.7% from 63.3% in the second quarter of 2018.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND INCOME/(LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 increased by 44.5% to RMB289.1 million (US$42.1 million) from RMB200.2 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily attributable to the consolidation of operating expenses from Tianbo and Tadu. Share-based compensation included in operating expenses was RMB2.3 million (US$0.3 million) in the second quarter of 2019, as compared to RMB2.8 million in the second quarter of 2018. As the Company recognized share-based compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, on a graded-vesting basis over the vesting term of the awards, there was less share-based compensation recognized in the second quarter of 2019 for share options granted prior to 2019. 

Loss from operations for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB79.0 million (US$11.5 million), as compared to income from operations of RMB29.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. Operating margin for the second quarter of 2019 decreased to negative 20.0% from positive 8.1% in the second quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP loss from operations for the second quarter of 2019, which excluded share-based compensation, was RMB74.8 million (US$10.9 million), as compared to non-GAAP income from operations of RMB32.8 million in the second quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP operating margin for the second quarter of 2019, which excluded share-based compensation, decreased to negative 18.9% from positive 9.0% in the second quarter of 2018.

OTHER INCOME OR LOSS

Other income or loss reflects interest income, interest expense, foreign currency exchange gain or loss, income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairments, and others, net[2]. Total net other income for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB11.1 million (US$1.6 million), as compared to RMB28.1 million in the second quarter of 2018.

  • Interest income for the second quarter of 2019 decreased to RMB4.6 million (US$0.7 million) from RMB13.6 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to decrease in the loans granted to Particle, which were fully settled in the third quarter of 2018.
  • Interest expense for the second quarter of 2019 decreased to RMB1.7 million (US$0.3 million), from RMB3.4 million in the second quarter of 2018, which was primarily due to the decrease in outstanding short-term bank loans as the Company repaid all of the short-term bank loans in the second quarter of 2019.
  • Foreign currency exchange gain for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million), as compared to RMB16.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. This decrease was mainly caused by the less significant depreciation of Renminbi against US dollars in the second quarter of 2019, as compared to that of 2018, which generated less exchange gain in Renminbi denominated liabilities recorded in the Company's subsidiaries whose functional currency is not Renminbi.
  • Income from equity method investments, net of impairments, for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB0.5 million (US$0.1 million), as compared to loss from equity method investments, net of impairments, of RMB0.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. The Company recognized income from equity method investments, net of impairments, of RMB0.5 million (US$0.1 million) as a result of the re-measurement of the previously held equity interests upon completion of the step acquisition in Tianbo on April 1, 2019, which was previously accounted using the equity method of accounting.
  • Others, net increased to RMB4.8 million (US$0.7 million) in the second quarter of 2019 from RMB2.1 million in the second quarter of 2018, which was primarily attributable to the increase of the government subsidies received in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to that of 2018.

[2] "Others, net" primarily consists of government subsidies and litigation loss provisions.

NET INCOME/(LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PHOENIX NEW MEDIA LIMITED

Net loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the second quarter of 2019 was RMB70.1 million (US$10.2 million), as compared to net income attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited of RMB49.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. Net margin for the second quarter of 2019 decreased to negative 17.7% from positive 13.5% in the second quarter of 2018. Net loss per diluted ADS[3] in the second quarter of 2019 was RMB0.96 (US$0.14), as compared to net income per diluted ADS of RMB0.67 in the second quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the second quarter of 2019, which excluded share-based compensation and income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairments, was RMB66.4 million (US$9.7 million), as compared to non-GAAP net income attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited of RMB53.1 million in the second quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net margin for the second quarter of 2019 decreased to negative 16.8% from positive 14.6% in the second quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net loss per diluted ADS in the second quarter of 2019 was RMB0.91 (US$0.13), as compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted ADS of RMB0.73 in the second quarter of 2018. 

For the second quarter of 2019, the Company's weighted average number of ADSs used in the computation of diluted net loss per ADS was 72,783,430. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a total of 582,324,325 ordinary shares outstanding, or the equivalent of 72,790,541 ADSs.

[3] "ADS" means American Depositary Share of the Company. Each ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares of the Company.

CERTAIN BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

As of June 30, 2019, the Company's cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and short term investments and restricted cash were RMB1.69 billion (US$245.8 million), which included RMB251.6 million (US$36.7 million) from Tianbo and RMB16.3 million (US$2.4 million) from Tadu.

As previously announced by the Company, on July 23, 2019, the Company entered into a supplemental agreement (the "Supplemental Agreement") to the share purchase agreement (the "SPA") dated March 22, 2019 between the Company and Run Liang Tai Management Limited ("Run Liang Tai") for the sale of 32% of the total outstanding shares of Particle Inc. ("Particle" or "Yidian") to Run Liang Tai and its designated entities (the "Proposed Buyers") (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Company agrees to increase the number of Particle shares to be transferred to the Proposed Buyers from 199,866,509 shares to 212,358,165 shares while the total purchase price will remain unchanged at US$448 million. Instead of requiring full payment of the purchase price after satisfaction of all closing conditions, the Supplemental Agreement allows the Proposed Buyers to pay the purchase price in several installments. In addition to the deposit of US$100 million received in March 2019, the Proposed Buyers have paid the first installment of US$100 million to the Company according to the Supplemental Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed by both parties, the Proposed Buyers may pay the remaining purchase price on or before August 10, 2020. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will ever be closed. The fair value of available-for-sale debt investments in Particle decreased from RMB2,728.4 million as of March 31, 2019 to RMB2,271.1 million (US$330.8 million) as of June 30, 2019, mainly due to the decrease in the per-share value of Particle shares held by the Company as more shares would be transferred to the Proposed Buyers with the same total purchase price, and the time value of the purchase price used in the valuation of available-for-sale debt investments in Particle for the second quarter of 2019.

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2019, the Company expects its total revenues to be between RMB373.4 million and RMB393.4 million; net advertising revenues are expected to be between RMB312.0 million and RMB327.0 million; and paid services revenues are expected to be between RMB61.4 million and RMB66.4 million.

All of the above forecasts reflect the Company's current and preliminary view on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change.

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 non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income or loss from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited, non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP net income or loss per diluted ADS, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP income or loss from operations is income or loss from operations excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income or loss from operations divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited is net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited excluding share-based compensation and income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairments. Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss per diluted ADS is non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by weighted average number of diluted ADSs. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the aforementioned non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with the related GAAP financial measures 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 these non-GAAP financial 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 investors. The Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of items like share-based compensation and income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairments, which have been and will continue to be significant and recurring in its business. However, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's gross profit, income or loss from operations and net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the period. In addition, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as an alternative to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
