NetEase.com Reports First Quarter 2011

Unaudited Financial Results

 

(Beijing — May 19, 2011) — NetEase.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES), one of China’s leading Internet and online game services providers, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

 

William Ding, Chief Executive Officer and Director of NetEase, stated, “For the first quarter, total revenues from online games increased by approximately 28% year-over-year, driven by higher revenue contributions from our self-developed games, namely Heroes of Tang Dynasty, Fantasy Westward Journey, Westward Journey Online II and Tianxia II, along with continued revenue growth from World of Warcraft®, a game licensed from Blizzard Entertainment.  Online game revenue decreased by 3% quarter-over-quarter mainly due to seasonality.  Fantasy Westward Journey and Westward Journey Online II continued to perform well due to well-received promotional campaigns during the first quarter, along with favorable response to the latest expansion pack for Fantasy Westward Journey released in January 2011.  As a game in its eighth year of commercial operation, we were tremendously pleased with Westward Journey Online II’s new record quarterly revenue in the current quarter as well as a new record number of peak concurrent users, resulting from players’ positive response to the promotional activities held during the recent Labor Day holidays in China.  We plan to keep working hard to make the game a continued success.  Our newer games Heroes of Tang Dynasty and Tianxia II also continued to show solid growth.  Moreover, we concluded the open beta test for Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft® II in China during the first quarter and commenced commercial operation on April 6, 2011.  StarCraft II holds the record for fastest-selling strategy game of all time, and we are delighted to bring this exciting gaming experience to Chinese players.”

 

“A new expansion pack for Tianxia II was released in April 2011, and we plan to launch an advanced version for this game in the third quarter of 2011.  In addition, we are currently on schedule to release the next expansion packs for Heroes of Tang Dynasty and Westward Journey Online II during the second quarter of 2011 and the next expansion pack for Legend of Westward Journey and Westward Journey: Genesis during the third quarter of 2011.  In view of the outstanding user statistics performance during the limited closed beta testing for Ghost in the first quarter, we started the unlimited closed beta testing for this game in April and also plan to launch its next new expansion pack in the second half of 2011.  Next, I would like to talk about our new 2.5D turn-based MMORPG, Legend of Fairy which has just entered limited closed beta testing in early May.  In this game, players can enjoy an

exciting and adventurous journey in a European-styled fantasyland.  Unlike traditional online games, this new game allows players to freely change characters, skills and attributes, allowing for evolving combat experiences as the game progresses.  We plan to proceed with its unlimited closed beta in the second half of 2011.”

 

Mr. Ding continued, “Advertising services revenue grew 39% year-over-year due to increasing demand for advertising services, particularly from the automobile and Internet services sectors.  The quarter-over-quarter revenue decline of approximately 46% from our strong fourth quarter 2010 reflects typical industry seasonality and the non-recurring impact from our 2010 Asian Games sponsorship.  During the first quarter of 2011, we were pleased to launch our newly developed mobile news application software for smart-phones, which instantly became a top app download.  We remain committed to addressing advertisers’ growing demand by offering unique content innovation, service integration and new product development.”

 

Mr. Ding concluded, “We regret to announce that Mr. Zhonghui Zhan has resigned from his position as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer effective May 15, 2011 for personal reasons.  Zhonghui has been a valuable member of our management team and has made significant contributions to our business over the years.  He first joined NetEase in 1999, holding various positions culminating in Co-Chief Operating Officer in May 2006 and Chief Operating Officer in March 2009.  I am personally grateful to him for his leadership, expertise and dedication.”

 

First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

 

Revenues

 

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2011 were RMB1.5 billion (US$234.9 million), compared to RMB1.7 billion and RMB1.2 billion for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.

 

Revenues from online games were RMB1.4 billion (US$211.6 million) for the first quarter of 2011, compared to RMB1.4 billion and RMB1.1 billion for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.

 

Revenues from advertising services were RMB126.8 million (US$19.4 million) for the first quarter of 2011, compared to RMB233.7 million and RMB91.5 million for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.

 

Revenues from wireless value-added services and others (“WVAS and others”) were RMB25.7 million (US$3.9 million) for the first quarter of 2011, compared to RMB23.3 million and RMB18.1 million for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2011 was RMB985.0 million (US$150.4 million), compared to RMB1.1 billion and RMB772.4 million for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in revenues from advertising services and online games, partially offset by decreases in information costs and incentive compensation, resulting from decreased advertising services revenue.  The quarter-over-quarter decrease in advertising services revenue was primarily due to seasonality and the non-recurring advertising revenue from our 2010 Asian Games sponsorship.  The slight quarter-over-quarter decrease in online game revenue was primarily due to reduced revenue from World of Warcraft, a licensed game from Blizzard Entertainment, resulting from seasonality and a reduced level of promotional

 

2



 

activities during the first quarter of 2011.

 

The year-over-year increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to increased revenues from both the online games and advertising businesses, partially offset by increased cost of revenues from the online games business. The year-over-year increase in online games revenue was primarily driven by increased revenues from the Company’s various self-developed games as well as increased revenue from World of Warcraft.  Revenue from self-developed games increased primarily as a result of various expansion packs and promotional activities in the first quarter of 2011, as well as the commercial launch of Heroes of Tang Dynasty in April 2010. The year-over-year increase in revenue from World of Warcraft was mainly due to the release of the Wrath of the Lich King™ expansion pack in August 2010. The year-over-year increase in cost of revenue for the online games business was mainly due to increased royalties and consultancy fees related to World of Warcraft operations and increased staff-related costs, resulting from increased headcount in the current quarter.

 

The year-over-year increase in advertising services revenue was primarily due to continued rising demand for advertising services, primarily from the automobile and Internet services sectors.

 

Gross Profit (Loss) Margin

 

Gross profit margin for the online game business for the first quarter of 2011 was 70.0%, compared to 71.8% and 71.9% for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.

 

Gross profit margin for the advertising business for the first quarter of 2011 was 33.4%, compared to 53.5% and 16.9% for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.  The quarter-over-quarter decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to the significant decline in advertising service revenue, partially offset by lower cost of revenue in the current quarter for reasons explained above.  The year-over-year increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to increased advertising service revenue, partially offset by increased revenue sharing costs and staff-related costs, resulting from increased headcount during the first quarter of 2011.

 

Gross loss margin for the WVAS and others business for the first quarter of 2011 was 21.6%, compared to 19.7% and 35.9% for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were RMB292.0 million (US$44.6 million), compared to RMB320.7 million and RMB217.4 million for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to reduced selling and marketing expenses, resulting from reduced marketing promotional activities for certain self-developed games and World of Warcraft.  The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased selling and marketing expenses related to Westward Journey Online II, Heroes of Tang Dynasty and Ghost, and increased staff-related costs, resulting primarily from increased headcount in the general administration and research and development areas.  In addition, share-compensation costs grew by RMB20.4 million year-over-year, resulting mainly from restricted share unit awards first granted by the Company in June 2010.

 

Net Profit

 

Net profit for the first quarter of 2011 totaled RMB737.4 million (US$112.6 million), compared to RMB712.5 million and RMB452.3 million for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.  During the first

 

3



 

quarter of 2011, the Company reported a net foreign exchange gain of RMB25.3 million (US$3.9 million), compared to net foreign exchange losses of RMB36.4 million and RMB39.5 million for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.

 

The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year foreign exchange gains/losses were mainly due to the translation gains/losses arising from the Company’s Euro-denominated bank deposit balances as of March 31, 2011 as the exchange rate of the Euro against the RMB fluctuated over the periods.  NetEase reported basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share (“ADS”) of US$0.86 each for the first quarter of 2011.  The Company reported basic and diluted earnings per ADS of US$0.84 and US$0.83 for the preceding quarter and US$0.53 each for the first quarter of 2010.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded a net income tax charge of RMB37.2 million (US$5.7 million) for the first quarter of 2011, compared to RMB83.2 million and RMB94.5 million for the preceding quarter and for the first quarter of 2010, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was 4.8% as compared to 10.3% for the preceding quarter and 17.4% for the first quarter of 2010.

 

The Company’s various principal subsidiaries’ enjoyed the preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% as High and New Technology Enterprises from 2008 to 2010. These subsidiaries are currently in the process of applying to renew the New and High Technology Enterprises qualification and expect to be able to retain this qualification for 2011 to 2013 as the qualification criteria remain unchanged. Accordingly, this preferential tax rate has been applied for these subsidiaries in the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for 2011, though the Company cautions that it cannot be certain such applications will be approved. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in effective tax rate was mainly due to the recognition of a tax benefit of approximately RMB47.1 million (US$7.2 million) related to fiscal year 2010 upon receiving the Key Software Enterprises status during the first quarter of 2011.  The year-over-year decrease in effective tax rate was mainly due to the above-mentioned tax benefit.  In addition, one of the Company’s other subsidiaries was recognized as a Software Enterprise in the fourth quarter of 2010 resulting in tax-exempt status for 2010 and 2011.

 

Other Information

 

As of March 31, 2011, the Company’s total cash and time deposit balance was RMB10.4 billion (US$1.6 billion), compared to RMB9.5 billion, as of December 31, 2010.  Cash flow generated from operating activities was RMB969.3 million (US$148.0 million) for the first quarter of 2011, compared to RMB901.5 million and RMB676.5 million for the preceding quarter and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.

Note 3:  In the fourth quarter of 2010, management of the Company decided to allocate facility costs comprising of office and staff quarter rentals and management fees, building amortization and miscellaneous utility costs previously recorded under general and administration to the respective functions based on headcount under cost of revenue, selling and marketing, research and development and general and administration.  The change was implemented to better reflect staff-related operating cost.  Reclassifications have been made to cost of revenue and operating expense amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and segment information for the relevant prior period in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.  There is no change to the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
