Live Conference Call to be Held at 8:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time, November 25, 2013

BEIJING, November 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 21Vianet Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNET) (“21Vianet” or the “Company”), the largest carrier-neutral internet data center services provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2013. The Company will hold a conference call at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 25, 2013. Dial-in details are provided at the end of the release.

Third quarter 2013 Financial Highlights

 

    Net revenues increased by 29.8% to RMB514.0 million (US$84.0 million) from RMB396.1 million in the comparative period in 2012.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA1 increased by 25.5% to RMB95.4 million (US$15.6 million) from RMB76.0 million in the comparative period in 2012.

Mr. Josh Chen, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “During this quarter, we continued to focus on growing our core internet data center business as well as expanding our diversified client offerings, further strengthening our position as China’s leading internet infrastructure provider. We are pleased to add 1,172 cabinets to our self-built data centers this quarter, bringing the total number of cabinets in our self-built data center to 8,576, or 64% of the total 13,307 cabinets under our management. In addition, new initiatives, such as our strategic joint venture with the Dongguan Municipal People’s Government in Guangdong province to build a new internet data center in southern China, will further help us to develop our cloud computing services as well as China’s own interconnection market. These initiatives are expected to further strengthen our position as a leading internet infrastructure and carrier-neutral data center services provider in China. As China’s internet traffic and cloud services continue to grow, we are confident that our business model and on-going initiatives position us well to capitalize on future growth opportunities.”

Mr. Shang-Wen Hsiao, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, “We are pleased with the continued growth in our internet data center related business throughout China. As a result of solid data center demand in China, we increased our total self-built cabinet count by 16% from the second quarter of 2013 while improving our utilization rate to 73.7% from 70.2%. In addition, we are excited about the strong initial interest from potential customers in Microsoft’s Windows Azure and Office 365, which are expected to gradually become a major growth driver alongside our hosting business. Our on-going structural shift to more self-built data centers, as well as our upcoming full commercial launch of our cloud business, will further help improve overall margins over the coming year. With the additional funding from our recent bond offering and the investment from Temasek, we believe we are well-positioned to continue executing our build-out plan for data centers, rollout of our cloud platform with Microsoft, as well as other initiatives that will strengthen our foundation as a leading internet infrastructure company over the long-term.”

Third quarter 2013 Financial Results

REVENUES: Net revenues for the third quarter of 2013 increased by 29.8% to RMB514.0 million (US$84.0 million) from RMB396.1 million in the comparative period in 2012.


Net revenues from hosting and related services increased by 54.3% to RMB337.6 million (US$55.2 million) in the third quarter of 2013 from RMB218.9 million in the comparative period in 2012, primarily due to an increase in the total number of cabinets under management as well as an increase in demand for our CDN services. Net revenues from managed network services decreased by 0.4% to RMB176.4 million (US$28.8 million) in the third quarter of 2013 from RMB177.2 million in the comparative period in 2012, primarily due to a decrease in selling prices as competition intensifies.

GROSS PROFIT: For the third quarter of 2013, gross profit increased by 20.9% to RMB133.4 million (US$21.8 million) from RMB110.4 million in the comparative period in 2012. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2013 was 26.0%, compared with 27.9% in the comparative period in 2012 and 26.1% in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in cost of revenues, resulting from increased depreciation for the Company’s self-built data centers.

Adjusted gross profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions, increased by 25.2% to RMB148.7 million (US$24.3 million) from RMB118.7 million in the comparative period in 2012. Adjusted gross margin was 28.9% in the third quarter of 2013, compared with 30.0% in the comparative period in 2012 and 28.8% in the second quarter of 2013.

OPERATING EXPENSES: Total operating expenses were RMB118.0 million (US$19.3 million), compared with RMB102.3 million in the comparative period in 2012.

Sales and marketing expenses increased to RMB38.9 million (US$6.4 million) from RMB28.9 million in the comparative period in 2012, primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s sales and service support team and the Company’s marketing efforts associated with the launch of Microsoft’s premier cloud services.

General and administrative expenses increased to RMB47.0 million (US$7.7 million) from RMB42.6 million in the comparative period in 2012, primarily due to an increase in headcount, office rentals and other expansion-related expenses associated with the Company’s efforts to expand its cloud computing service offering.

Research and development expenses increased to RMB21.4 million (US$3.5 million) from RMB18.8 million in the comparative period in 2012, which reflected the Company’s efforts to further strengthen its research and development capabilities and expand its cloud computing service offerings.

Change in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable was a loss of RMB10.7 million (US$1.8 million) in the third quarter of 2013, compared with a loss in the change in fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable of RMB12.0 million in the prior year period. This non-cash loss was primarily due to an increase in the market value of the Company’s shares, which resulted in an increase in the fair value of share-based contingent purchase considerations payable as of September 30, 2013 associated with the Company’s past acquisitions.

Adjusted operating expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses and the changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable, increased to RMB91.7 million (US$15.0 million) from RMB68.8 million in the comparative period in 2012. As a percentage of net revenue, adjusted operating expenses were 17.8%, compared with 17.4% in the comparative period in 2012 and 18.2% in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in adjusted operating expense as a percentage of net revenue from the second of quarter of 2013 was mainly due to increase of operation efficiency.

ADJUSTED EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 increased by 25.5% to RMB95.4 million (US$15.6 million) from RMB76.0 million in the comparative period in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 18.6%, compared with 19.2% in the comparative period in 2012 and 18.5% in the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2013 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB18.5 million (US$3.0 million) and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable of RMB10.7 million (US$1.8 million).


NET PROFIT/LOSS: Net loss for the third quarter of 2013 was RMB12.9 million (US$2.1 million), compared to a net profit of RMB12.2 million in the comparative period in 2012. The decrease in net profit was mainly due to an increase in interest expense associated with the bond offering.

Adjusted net profit for the third quarter of 2013 was RMB29.5 million (US$4.8 million), compared with RMB52.2 million in the comparative period in 2012. Adjusted net profit in the third quarter of 2013 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB18.5 million (US$3.0 million), amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions of RMB12.3 million (US$2.0 million), and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable and related deferred tax impact of RMB11.5 million (US$1.9 million) in the aggregate. Adjusted net margin was 5.7%, compared to 13.2% in the comparative period in 2012 and 4.0% in the second quarter of 2013.

EARNING/LOSS PER SHARE: Diluted loss per ordinary share for the third quarter of 2013 was RMB0.04, which represents the equivalent of RMB0.24 (US$0.04) per American Depositary Share (“ADS”). Each ADS represents six ordinary shares. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2013 was RMB0.08, which represents the equivalent of RMB0.48 (US$0.08) per ADS. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net profit as discussed above to divide the weighted average shares number.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a total of 357.7 million ordinary shares outstanding, or the equivalent of 59.6 million ADSs.

BALANCE SHEET: As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment were RMB2.2 billion (US$362.9 million).

Third quarter 2013 Operational Highlights

 

    Monthly Recurring Revenues (“MRR”) per cabinet was RMB10,520 in the third quarter of 2013, compared to RMB10,559 in the second quarter of 2013.
