Live Conference Call to be Held at 8:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time, March 6, 2014

BEIJING, March 6, 2014 (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 fourth quarter and full year of 2013. The Company will hold a conference call at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 6, 2014. Dial-in details are provided at the end of the release.

Fourth quarter 2013 Financial Highlights

 

    Net revenues increased by 30.6% to RMB545.9 million (US$90.2 million) from RMB417.8 million in the comparative period in 2012.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA1 increased by 31.4% to RMB102.9 million (US$17.0 million) from RMB78.3 million in the comparative period in 2012.

Full Year 2013 Financial Highlights

 

    Net revenues increased by 29.0% to RMB1.97 billion (US$324.9 million) from RMB1.52 billion in 2012.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA increased by 24.3% to RMB365.6 million (US$60.4 million) from RMB294.2 million in 2012.

Mr. Josh Chen, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “In 2013, we made tremendous strides in expanding our capacity and market footprint, as well as diversifying our services through forging strategic partnerships with world-class global corporations. For 2014, we aim to deploy an additional 10,000 cabinets and achieve approximately 25,000 total cabinets by the end of 2014 for our core IDC business. For our cloud partnerships with Microsoft and IBM, not only will these help expedite our efforts to develop a premium cloud ecosystem comprised of both public and private cloud services, but also will support our customer expansion and diversification. Based on this foundation, we expect our cloud businesses to contribute approximately 10% of our full year 2014 revenue. Building upon the robust foundation we established in 2013, we are well and uniquely-positioned as an integrated internet services provider in China supported by multiple secular business drivers that will help propel our growth going forward.”

Mr. Shang-Wen Hsiao, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, “We were very pleased that we maintained a stable utilization rate of 71.2% and achieved an EBITDA margin of 18.8% in the fourth quarter, while significantly increasing our capacity in the second half of 2013. This performance was fueled by the ongoing strong customer demand for our IDC business services and improved sales throughout China. Moreover, our cloud business revenues from our on-going commercialization of the Azure and Office 365 outperformed our initial expectations for the fourth quarter of 2013. Not only were we able to secure several thousand clients on our beta platforms as of year end 2013, but we were also successful in migrating a number of large customers into longer-term annual contracts. In addition, we expect to fully commercialize Microsoft’s Windows Azure by March 2014 followed by Office 365 in April with the addition of IBM’s private cloud by mid-year 2014. With China’s expanding communications apparatus characterized by the ubiquity of mobile Internet and cloud computing, we believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on the trends associated with China’s dynamic and evolving data and cloud services market.”


Fourth quarter 2013 Financial Results

REVENUES: Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased by 30.6% to RMB545.9 million (US$90.2 million) from RMB417.8 million in the comparative period in 2012.

Net revenues from hosting and related services increased by 43.6% to RMB364.0 million (US$60.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2013 from RMB253.4 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 the Company’s CDN services. Net revenues from managed network services increased to RMB181.9 million (US$30.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2013 from RMB164.4 million in the comparative period in 2012 driven by an increase in network capacity demand for data transmission services.

GROSS PROFIT: For the fourth quarter of 2013, gross profit increased by 26.8% to RMB144.2 million (US$23.8 million) from RMB113.7 million in the comparative period in 2012. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 26.4%, compared with 27.2% in the comparative period in 2012 and 26.0% in the third 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 28.6% to RMB158.5 million (US$26.2 million) from RMB123.3 million in the comparative period in 2012. Adjusted gross margin was 29.0% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with 29.5% in the comparative period in 2012 and 28.9% in the third quarter of 2013.

OPERATING EXPENSES: Total operating expenses were RMB131.1 million (US$21.7 million), compared with RMB58.2 million in the comparative period in 2012.

Sales and marketing expenses increased to RMB48.3 million (US$8.0 million) from RMB31.6 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 RMB54.6 million (US$9.0 million) from RMB49.4 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 RMB21.0 million (US$3.5 million) from RMB17.3 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 RMB7.2 million (US$1.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with a gain of RMB40.1 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 December 31, 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 RMB102.0 million (US$16.8 million) from RMB77.5 million in the comparative period in 2012. As a percentage of net revenue, adjusted operating expenses were 18.7%, compared with 18.5% in the comparative period in 2012 and 17.8% in the third quarter of 2013.


ADJUSTED EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased by 31.4% to RMB102.9 million (US$17.0 million) from RMB78.3 million in the comparative period in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 18.8%, increased from 18.7% in the comparative period in 2012 and 18.6% in the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2013 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB24.6 million (US$4.1 million) and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable of RMB7.2 million (US$1.2 million).

NET PROFIT/LOSS: Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2013 was RMB3.9 million (US$0.6 million), compared to net profit of RMB43.1 million in the comparative period in 2012. The decrease in net profit was mainly due to a non-cash loss in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable versus a non-cash gain in the comparative period in 2012 and an increase in interest expense.

Adjusted net profit for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased to RMB41.0 million (US$6.8 million) from RMB39.5 million in the comparative period in 2012. Adjusted net profit in the fourth quarter of 2013 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB24.6 million (US$4.1 million), amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions of RMB11.7 million (US$1.9 million), and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable and related deferred tax impact of RMB8.6 million (US$1.4 million) in the aggregate. Adjusted net margin was 7.5%, compared to 9.5% in the comparative period in 2012 and 5.7% in the third quarter of 2013.

EARNING/LOSS PER SHARE: Diluted loss per ordinary share for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 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 2013 was RMB0.1, which represents the equivalent of RMB0.6 (US$0.1) per ADS. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net profit as discussed above to divide the weighted average shares number.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a total of 398.2 million ordinary shares outstanding, or the equivalent of 66.4 million ADSs.

BALANCE SHEET: As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment were RMB2.6 billion (US$423.0 million).

Fourth quarter 2013 Operational Highlights
