Mr. Josh Chen, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "We are pleased to announce strong second quarter 2011 financial results, which continue to demonstrate the strong growth momentum of our business. The growth in this quarter outperformed our expectations, driven by a surge in demand from all industry verticals, including e-commerce, online video and online gaming. In order to meet this increase in customer demand, we accelerated our expansion plans by opening several additional partnered data centers, while the rollout of our self-build data centers continues to be on track."

"In addition, we believe our continued improvement in operational efficiencies and our marketing strategy will result in accelerated growth in the managed network services business in the second half of 2011. Customers continue to demand the enhanced data transmission capabilities that 21Vianet provides through increased reliability, stability and speed in their network connections. As competition intensifies throughout China's Internet sectors, we believe that the demand for our premium offerings from our existing and potential customers will remain strong."

Mr. Shang Hsiao, President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, "Not only is our growth in customer demand exciting but we are also pleased to have achieved greater operational efficiency in the second quarter while successfully executing our capacity expansion. We successfully managed the surge in demand by expanding capacity in partnered data centers while improving our gross margins through effective operational management. This efficiency and margin improvement continues to be exemplified through our high utilization rates, low churn rates and stable customer base. We believe our business is well positioned heading into the second half of 2011 as we expect strong growth in both our hosting services and managed network services."

Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results

REVENUES: Net revenues for the second quarter of 2011 increased by 104.6% to RMB230.4 million (US$35.6 million) from RMB112.6 million in the prior year comparative period. Net revenues from hosting and related services increased by 60.2% to RMB145.7 million (US$22.5 million) in the second quarter of 2011 from RMB90.9 million in the prior year comparative period, primarily due to an increase in total cabinets under management in self-built and partnered data centers attributable to growing customer demand. Net revenues from managed network services increased by 290.4% to RMB84.7 million (US$13.1million) in the second quarter of 2011 from RMB21.7 million in the prior year comparative period, primarily due to the inclusion of operating results of two companies that provide managed network services in China (the "Managed Network Entities"), that the Company acquired in September 2010. Excluding revenues contributed by the Managed Network Entities, net revenues from managed network services increased by 1.7% to RMB22.1million (US$3.4 million) from RMB21.7 million in the prior year comparative period. The increase in managed network services revenue was primarily driven by organic network capacity growth for data transmission services.

GROSS PROFIT: For the second quarter of 2011, gross profit increased by 119.7% to RMB61.9 million (US$9.6million) from RMB28.2 million in the prior year comparative period. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2011 increased to 26.9% from 25.0% in the prior year comparative period.

Adjusted gross profit, which excludes share-based compensation expense of RMB0.5 million and amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions of RMB6.8 million, increased by 141.6% to RMB69.2 million (US$10.7 million) from RMB28.7 million in the prior year comparative period. Adjusted gross margin increased to 30.0%, compared to 25.4% in the prior year comparative period. The increase in adjusted gross margin was primarily due to the continued revenue mix shift towards a higher percentage of self-built data centers, which carry slightly higher gross margins relative to partnered data centers. 

OPERATING EXPENSES:Total operating expenses increased to RMB92.6 million (US$14.3 million) from RMB17.0 million in the prior year comparative period.

Sales and marketing expenses increased to RMB18.5 million (US$2.9 million) from RMB7.0 million in the prior year comparative period, primarily due to the expansion of the Company's sales team and the recognition of share-based compensation expense of RMB1.4million (US$0.2 million).

General and administrative expenses increased to RMB17.9 million (US$2.8 million) from RMB6.9 million in the prior year comparative period, reflecting the Company's strengthening of senior management with several mid- and high-level hires, continued expansion of its existing subsidiaries necessary to service increasing client demand as well as the recognition of share-based compensation expense of RMB6.4 million (US$1.0 million).

Research and development expenses increased to RMB8.1 million (US$1.3 million) from RMB3.0 million in the prior year comparative period, reflecting the Company's efforts to further expand and improve its service offerings.

Change in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable was RMB48.1 million (US$7.4 million) during the second quarter of 2011. This non-cash expense was primarily due to an increase in the present value of estimated cash and share considerations as of June 30, 2011 associated with the Company's acquisition of the Managed Network Entities.

Adjusted operating expenses, which excludes share-based compensation expense and the changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable, increased to RMB36.0 million (US$5.6million) from RMB17.0 million in the prior year comparative period. As a percentage of net revenue, adjusted operating expenses was 15.6% compared with 15.1% in the prior year comparative period.

ADJUSTED EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2011 increased by 195.0% to RMB47.2 million (US$7.3million) from RMB16.0 million in the prior year comparative period. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 20.5%, compared to 14.2% in the prior year comparative period. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2011 excludes share-based compensation expense of RMB9.1 million (US$1.4 million) and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable of RMB48.1 million (US$7.4 million). 

NET PROFIT/LOSS: Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 was RMB22.8million (US$3.5 million) compared to a net profit of RMB5.8 million in the prior year comparative period. 

Adjusted net profit for the second quarter of 2011 increased by 229.5% to RMB34.0 million (US$5.3 million) from RMB10.3 million in the prior year comparative period. Adjusted net profit in the second quarter of 2011 excludes share-based compensation expense of RMB9.1 million, amortization expenses of intangible assets derived from acquisitions of RMB6.8 million, and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable and related deferred tax assets of RMB40.9 million. Adjusted net margin increased to 14.8% compared to 9.2% in the prior year comparative period.

EARNING/LOSS PER SHARE: Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share for the second quarter of 2011 were RMB0.11, which represents the equivalent of US$0.10 per American Depositary Share ("ADS"). Each ADS represents six ordinary shares. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2011 were RMB0.09, which represents the equivalent of US$0.085 per ADS4. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net profit which excluded share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions, change in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable, reversal of unrecognized tax benefit and related deferred tax assets and outside tax basis difference as discussed above to divide the weighted average shares number. 

BALANCE SHEET: As of June 30, 2011, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were RMB1,641.8 million (US$254.0 million), compared to RMB83.3 million as of December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had a total of 334.2 million basic shares outstanding or 55.7 million ADSs outstanding.
