Our success in the fourth quarter and full year of 2011 was led by solid financial and operational results across the board. This growth was driven by surging demand for both hosting and managed network services. With our diverse base of over 1,500 customers, demand for our services continued to grow, which was characterized by an increase in demand from customers conducting online video, online gaming and e-Commerce businesses.”

“We remain committed to further expanding our services and capacity as well as streamlining our business operations. During the quarter, we enhanced our revenue growth capabilities by further increasing our hosting capacity as well as network service capacity with the acquisition of Guangzhou Gehua Network Technology and Development Co., Ltd. (“Gehua”). Going forward, through leveraging our core Internet infrastructure platform, we are confident to remain a leading Internet infrastructure services provider throughout China.”

Mr. Shang Hsiao, President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, “Not only did our revenue growth exceed our expectations, but we were also able to expand our adjusted EBITDA margins by 4.6% year over year. Going into 2012, we are well-positioned to benefit from the significant growth in Internet usage on multiple devices in China as well as from increasing demand for reliable interconnectivity services from our core content customers.”

Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results

REVENUES: Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased by 61.3% to RMB318.3 million (US$50.6 million) from RMB197.3 million in the comparative period in 2010. Net revenue increased by 21.6% sequentially from the third quarter of 2011.

Net revenues from hosting and related services increased by 57.2% to RMB175.2 million (US$27.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2011 from RMB111.5 million in the comparative period in 2010, primarily due to an increase in the total number of cabinets under management in both our self-built and partnered data centers, which was attributable to growing customer demand.

Net revenues from managed network services increased by 66.6% to RMB143.0 million (US$22.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2011 from RMB85.8 million in the comparative period in 2010, primarily driven by an increase in network capacity demand for data transmission services. Net revenues from managed network services included the effects of acquiring Gehua, which generated RMB21.5 million (US$3.4 million) in net revenues during the fourth quarter of 2011.

GROSS PROFIT: For the fourth quarter of 2011, gross profit increased by 82.6% to RMB88.1 million (US$14.0 million) from RMB48.2 million in the comparative period in 2010. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased to 27.7% from 24.4% in the comparative period in 2010.

Adjusted gross profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB0.6 million (US$0.1 million) and amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions of RMB7.3 million, increased by 70.9% to RMB96.0 million (US$15.3 million) from RMB56.2 million in the comparative period in 2010.

Adjusted gross margin increased to 30.2%, compared to 28.5% in the comparative period in 2010. 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 were RMB79.9 (US$12.7 million) compared with RMB246.8 million in the comparative period in 2010.

Sales and marketing expenses increased to RMB25.5 million (US$4.0 million) from RMB16.4 million in the comparative period in 2010. Adjusted sales and marketing expenses, which excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB1.5 million (US$0.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2011 and RMB1.4 million in the comparative period in 2010, increased to RMB24.0 million (US$3.8 million) from RMB15.0 million in the comparative period in 2010 primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s sales and service support team.

General and administrative expenses decreased to RMB24.4 million (US$3.9 million) from RMB217.0 million in the comparative period in 2010. Adjusted general and administrative expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses of RMB7.7 million (US$1.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2011 and RMB211.5 million in the comparative period in 2010, increased to RMB16.7 million (US$2.7 million) from RMB5.5 million primarily due to headcount increases, office rental and other expansion related expenses.


Research and development expenses increased to RMB10.0 million (US$1.6 million) from RMB5.8 million in the comparative period in 2010. Adjusted research and development expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses of RMB0.7 million (US$0.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2011 and RMB0.6 million in the comparative period in 2010, increased to RMB9.3 million (US$1.5 million) from RMB5.2 million, which reflected the Company’s efforts to further strengthen its research and development capabilities and expand and improve its service offerings.

Change in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable was RMB20.0 million (US$3.2 million) during the fourth quarter of 2011. This expense was primarily due to an increase in the present value of estimated cash and share considerations as of December 31, 2011 associated with the Company’s acquisitions of the Managed Network Entities and Gehua.

Adjusted operating expenses, which excludes share-based compensation expenses and the changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable, increased to RMB50.0 million (US$7.9 million) from RMB25.8 million in the comparative period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenue, adjusted operating expenses was 15.7%, compared with 13.1% in the comparative period in 2010.

ADJUSTED EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased by 73.0% to RMB65.1 million (US$10.3 million) from RMB37.6 million in the comparative period in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter increased to 20.5% from 19.1% in the comparative period in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2011 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB10.5 million (US$1.7 million) and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable of RMB20.0 million (US$3.2 million).

NET PROFIT/LOSS: Net profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 was RMB11.5 million (US$1.8 million) compared to a net loss of RMB198.8 million in the comparative period in 2010.

Adjusted net profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased by 52.5% to RMB46.3 million (US$7.4 million) from RMB30.4 million in the comparative period in 2010. Adjusted net profit in the fourth quarter of 2011 excludes the share-based compensation expenses of RMB10.5 million, amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions of RMB7.3 million, changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable and related deferred tax impact of RMB17.0 million in the aggregate. Adjusted net margin was 14.6%, compared with 15.4% in the comparative period in 2010.

EARNING/LOSS PER SHARE: Diluted earnings per ordinary share for the fourth quarter of 2011 were RMB0.01, which represents the equivalent of RMB0.06 (US$0.01) per American Depositary Share (“ADS”). Each ADS represents six ordinary shares. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2011 were RMB0.12, which represents the equivalent of RMB0.72 (US$0.12) per ADS4. Adjusted earnings per share are calculated using adjusted net profit as discussed above to divide the weighted average shares number.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a total of 335.6 million basic ordinary shares outstanding or the equivalents of 55.9 million ADSs outstanding.

Adjusted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions, change in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable and related deferred tax impact, reversal of unrecognized tax benefit and outside tax basis difference as discussed above to divide the weighted average shares number.

BALANCE SHEET: As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short term investment were RMB1.3 billion (US$207.3 million), compared to RMB83.3 million as of December 31, 2010.
