Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

REVENUES

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB362.5 million (US$54.8 million) under the new accounting standard, which represented a decrease of 7.8% from RMB393.3 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Net advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB316.0 million (US$47.8 million) (net of advertising agency service fees and sales taxes and surcharges) under the new accounting standard, which represented a decrease of 6.7% from RMB338.7 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Paid services revenues[1] for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB46.5 million (US$7.0 million) under the new accounting standard, which represented a decrease of 14.9% from RMB54.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. Revenues from digital entertainment[2] for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB37.8 million (US$5.7 million) under the new accounting standard, which represented a decrease of 17.0% from RMB45.6 million in the second quarter of 2017. Revenues from games and others[3] for the second quarter of 2018 were RMB8.7 million (US$1.3 million) under the new accounting standard, which represented a decrease of 3.5% from RMB9.0 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Under the old accounting standard ASC605, total revenues for the second quarter of 2018 would have been RMB396.7 million (US$60.0 million), which would have represented an increase of 0.9% from RMB393.3 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Under the old accounting standard ASC605, net advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2018 would have been RMB347.3 million (US$52.5 million), which would have represented an increase of 2.5% from RMB338.7 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily attributable to a 23.0% year-over-year increase in mobile advertising revenues that was partially offset by a 26.6% year-over-year decrease in PC advertising revenues.

Under the old accounting standard ASC605, paid services revenues for the second quarter of 2018 would have been RMB49.4 million (US$7.5 million), which would have represented a decrease of 9.5% from RMB54.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. Under the old accounting standard ASC605, revenues from digital entertainment for the second quarter of 2018 would have been RMB40.1 million (US$6.1 million), which would have represented a decrease of 12.0% from RMB45.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, due to a 29.3% decrease in the MVAS revenues mainly resulting from the decline in users' demand for services provided through telecom operators in China. Under the old accounting standard ASC605, revenues from games and others for the second quarter of 2018 would have been RMB9.3 million (US$1.4 million), which would have represented an increase of 3.3% from RMB9.0 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily attributable to the increase in revenues derived from other new businesses while the revenues generated from web-based games operated on the Company's own platforms were still declining.

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

[2]  Digital entertainment includes mobile value-added services delivered through telecom operators' platforms, or MVAS, and digital reading.

[3]  Games and others include web-based and mobile games, and other online and mobile paid services through the Company's own platforms

COST OF REVENUES

Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB132.9 million (US$20.1 million) under the new accounting standard, which represented a decrease of 20.8% from RMB167.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. Under the old accounting standard ASC605, cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2018 would have been RMB167.3 million (US$25.3 million), which would have represented a decrease of 0.3% from RMB167.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in cost of revenues under the new accounting standard was mainly due to:

  • The sales taxes and surcharges were RMB34.3 million (US$5.2 million) in the second quarter of 2018, which was excluded from cost of revenues and recorded as a reduction item of revenues under the new accounting standard, as compared to sales taxes and surcharges of RMB33.2 million in the second quarter of 2017, which was recorded as a component of cost of revenues under the old accounting standard ASC605.
  • Content and operational costs for the second quarter of 2018 increased slightly to RMB107.5 million (US$16.2 million) from RMB106.0 million in the second quarter of 2017.
  • Revenue sharing fees to telecom operators and channel partners for the second quarter of 2018 decreased by 23.9% to RMB11.5 million (US$1.7 million) from RMB15.1 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the sales of MVAS products.
  • Bandwidth costs for the second quarter of 2018 increased slightly to RMB13.9 million (US$2.1 million) from RMB13.6 million in the second quarter of 2017.
  • Share-based compensation included in cost of revenues was RMB0.6 million (US$0.1 million) in the second quarter of 2018, as compared to RMB1.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. 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 2018 for share options granted prior to 2018.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB229.6 million (US$34.7 million), as compared to RMB225.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2018 increased to 63.3% from 57.3% in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the increase in gross profit as well as the decrease in revenues under the new accounting standard as explained above.

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 excluded 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 2018, which excluded share-based compensation, was 63.5%, as compared to 57.6% in the second quarter of 2017.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 decreased by 0.1% to RMB200.2 million (US$30.2 million) from RMB200.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. Share-based compensation included in operating expenses was RMB2.8 million (US$0.4 million) in the second quarter of 2018, as compared to RMB4.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. 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 2018 for share options granted prior to 2018.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB29.4 million (US$4.4 million), as compared to RMB25.0 million in the second quarter of 2017. Operating margin for the second quarter of 2018 was 8.1%, as compared to 6.4% in the second quarter of 2017, which was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues under the new accounting standard.

Non-GAAP income from operations for the second quarter of 2018, which excluded share-based compensation, was RMB32.8 million (US$5.0 million), as compared to RMB30.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP operating margin for the second quarter of 2018, which excluded share-based compensation, was 9.1%, as compared to 7.7% in the second quarter of 2017.

OTHER INCOME OR LOSS

Other income or loss reflects interest income, interest expense, foreign currency exchange gain or loss, income or loss from equity investments, including impairments, and others, net[4]. Total net other income for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB28.1 million (US$4.2 million), as compared to RMB3.4 million in the second quarter of 2017.

  • Interest income for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB13.6 million (US$2.0 million), as compared to RMB13.5 million in the second quarter of 2017.
  • Interest expense for the second quarter of 2018 decreased to RMB3.4 million (US$0.5 million), from RMB6.4 million in the second quarter of 2017, which was primarily due to the decrease in both the carrying amount and the interest rates of the outstanding short-term bank loans in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to that in 2017.
  • Foreign currency exchange gain for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB16.2 million (US$2.5 million), as compared to foreign currency exchange loss of RMB7.9 million in the second quarter of 2017, which was mainly caused by the depreciation of Renminbi against US dollars in the second quarter of 2018 that generated exchange gain in Renminbi denominated borrowings recorded in the Company's subsidiaries whose functional currency is not Renminbi.
  • Loss from equity investments, including impairments, for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB0.4 million (US$0.07 million), as compared to income from equity investments, including impairments, of RMB1.1 million in the second quarter of 2017.
  • Others, net, for the second quarter of 2018 was RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million), as compared to RMB3.1 million in the second quarter of 2017.

 

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

Net margin for the second quarter of 2018 was 13.6%, as compared to 6.3% in the second quarter of 2017. Net income per diluted ADS[5] in the second quarter of 2018 was RMB0.67 (US$0.10), as compared to RMB0.35 in the second quarter of 2017.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the second quarter of 2018, which excluded share-based compensation and income or loss from equity investments, including impairments, was RMB53.1 million (US$8.0 million), as compared to RMB29.3 million in the second quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP net margin for the second quarter of 2018 was 14.6%, as compared to 7.4% in the second quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP net income per diluted ADS in the second quarter of 2018 was RMB0.73 (US$0.11), as compared to RMB0.41 in the second quarter of 2017.

CERTAIN BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

Business Outlook

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 investments, including 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 investments, including 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.

*  The Company adopted ASU 2016-1, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, beginning from January 1, 2018. After the adoption of
this new accounting standard, the Company measures long-term equity investments other than equity method investments at fair value through earnings. As investments in
Particle meet the definition of debt securities, which are recorded as available-for-sale investments, there is no impact by the adoption of ASU 2016-1 on the available-for-
sale investments in Particle and the changes in their fair value continue to be recorded in other comprehensive income.
