Unaudited Financial Results

Live Conference Call to be Held at 8:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time, May 26, 2016

BEIJING, May 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 21Vianet Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNET) (“21Vianet” or the “Company”), a leading carrier-neutral internet data center services provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2016. The Company will hold a conference call at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 26, 2016. Dial-in details are provided at the end of the release.

First Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights

 

    Net revenues increased to RMB862.3 million (US$133.7 million) from RMB860.1 million in the comparative period in 2015.

Mr. Steve Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “First of all, we are very excited to welcome an industry leader, Tus-Holdings, as a major strategic investor in our company and believe that its investment offers significant strategic values in strengthening our core operations and expanding new business opportunities. During the first quarter, we continued to execute on our strategies to grow our core businesses organically while maintaining a disciplined approach in our cost structure. Our IDC business remains a steady growth engine, driven by improving utilization rate, relatively low churn and strong billing cabinet sales, especially in tier one markets. Additionally, we are pleased to see demand for our cloud services remained strong thanks to continued traction with the Windows Azure and Office 365 product offerings. However, as we restructure our business and invest in our core growth opportunities, we also witnessed certain industry challenges and non-recurring factors. Solid year-over-year growth in IDC, cloud and VPN revenues were offset by continued weakness in MNS business, seasonal headwinds in our content delivery network business and the optimization process in Aipu business. However, going forward, we are confident that we can overcome these challenges, reignite growth and profitability and strengthen our position as a leading internet infrastructure services provider.”

Mr. Terry Wang, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, “Our total revenues in the first quarter increased to RMB862.3 million (US$133.7 million), primarily driven by solid year-over-year growth in our hosting line, including IDC, cloud and VPN. Overall number of cabinets reached 23,825 and our data center utilization rate improved to 74.6% from 71.7%. Additionally, we also tightened our cost by reducing sales agency fees and consulting fees, reducing our total operating expenses to RMB254.5 million (US$39.5 million) in the first quarter of 2016. However, hosting revenue growth was partially offset by the continued bandwidth pricing pressure in our MNS business and as we trimmed some of the lower margin revenue in the Aipu business. As the entire operations team is proactively working to address these challenges, we will continue to fine-tune our cost structure and become more disciplined in our capital investment programs going forward.”

First Quarter 2016 Financial Results

REVENUES: Net revenues for the first quarter of 2016 increased by 0.3% to RMB862.3 million (US$133.7 million) from RMB860.1 million in the comparative period in 2015, primarily driven by a year-over-year increase in IDC, cloud and VPN revenues, partially offset by the decline in MNS revenues.


Net revenues from hosting and related services increased by 15.1% to RMB706.1 million (US$109.5 million) in the first quarter of 2016 from RMB613.2 million in the comparative period in 2015, primarily due to the year-over-year increase in total number of billable cabinets and improved utilization rate, partially offset by lower MRR, or monthly recurring revenue, per cabinet. Net revenues from MNS were RMB156.1 million (US$24.2 million) in the first quarter of 2016, compared with RMB246.9 million in the comparative period in 2015. The decrease is primarily due to the continued industry-wide decline in bandwidth prices and lower than expected revenues from Aipu due to fierce competition and weaker equipment sales.

GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit for the first quarter of 2016 was RMB169.0 million (US$26.2 million), compared with RMB230.3 million in the comparative period in 2015. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2016 was 19.6%, compared with 26.8% in the comparative period in 2015. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to higher spending on telecommunication services and continued softness in the Company’s MNS business.

Adjusted gross profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions, was RMB211.1 million (US$32.7 million) in the first quarter of 2016, compared with RMB272.7 million in the comparative period in 2015. Adjusted gross margin was 24.5% in the first quarter of 2016, compared with 31.7% in the comparative period in 2015.

OPERATING EXPENSES: Total operating expenses decreased to RMB254.5 million (US$39.5 million) in the first quarter of 2016 from RMB274.6 million in the comparative period in 2015. Adjusted operating expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses and the changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable, increased to RMB219.5 million (US$34.0 million) from RMB209.4 million in the comparative period in 2015. As a percentage of net revenue, adjusted operating expenses were 25.5%, compared with 24.3% in the comparative period in 2015 and 28.1% in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 14.5% to RMB77.3 million (US$12.0 million) in the first quarter of 2016 from RMB90.4 million in the comparative period in 2015, primarily due to reduced staffing costs and sales agency fees.

General and administrative expenses increased by 3.6% to RMB133.8 million (US$20.8 million) in the first quarter of 2016 from RMB129.2 million in the comparative period in 2015, primarily due to increased staff cost, but partially offset by lower consulting fees and share-based compensation expenses.

Research and development expenses increased by 23.0% to RMB41.9 million (US$6.5 million) in the first quarter of 2016 from RMB34.0 million in the comparative period in 2015 as we continued to invest in key strategic growth areas.

Change in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable was a loss of RMB1.5 million (US$0.2 million) in the first quarter of 2016, compared with a loss of RMB20.9 million in the comparative period in 2015.

ADJUSTED EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2016 was RMB108.6 million (US$16.8 million), compared with RMB166.9 million in the comparative period in 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first quarter of 2016 was 12.6% compared with 19.4% in the comparative period in 2015 and 10.4% in the fourth quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2016 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB37.4 million (US$5.8 million) and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable which was a loss of RMB1.5 million (US$0.2 million).

NET PROFIT/LOSS: Net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was RMB151.3 million (US$23.5 million), compared with a net loss of RMB88.7 million in the comparative period in 2015.

Adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was RMB73.8 million (US$11.4 million) compared with an adjusted net profit of RMB18.9 million in the comparative period in 2015. Adjusted net loss in the first quarter of 2016 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB37.4 million (US$5.8 million), amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions of RMB38.2 million (US$5.9 million), changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable and related deferred tax assets which was a loss of RMB2.0 million (US$0.3 million) in aggregate. Adjusted net margin in the first quarter of 2016 was negative 8.6%, compared with 2.2% in the comparative period in 2015 and negative 3.0% in the fourth quarter of 2015.


LOSS PER SHARE: Diluted loss per ordinary share for the first quarter of 2016 was RMB0.28, which represents the equivalent of RMB1.68 (US$0.26) per American Depositary Share (“ADS”). Each ADS represents six ordinary shares. Adjusted diluted loss per share for the first quarter of 2016 was RMB0.14, which represents the equivalent of RMB0.84 (US$0.13) per ADS. Adjusted loss per share is calculated using adjusted net loss as discussed above divided by the weighted average number of shares.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a total of 524.2 million ordinary shares outstanding, or equivalent of 87.4 million ADSs.

BALANCE SHEET: As of March 31, 2016, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment were RMB1.24 billion (US$192.0 million).
