Phoenix New Media Reports First Quarter 2019 Unaudited Financial Results
BEIJING, May 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Phoenix New Media Limited (NYSE: FENG) ("Phoenix New Media", "ifeng" or the "Company"), a leading new media company in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Mr. Shuang Liu, CEO of Phoenix New Media, commented, "I am so pleased that our topline exceeded our expectations. In the first quarter of 2019, we continued to focus on enhancing our AI framework by further improving its synergies with our editorial system. The successful integration of human expertise and AI algorithms not only strengthened our ability to generate and distribute high-quality content, but also allowed us to maintain our professional journalism standards and provide unbiased, premium content to our users. In addition, our new growth initiatives in our content offering strategy, digital reading and our expansion in lifestyle related verticals have all out-performed our expectations.
Despite headwinds from macroeconomic uncertainties and industry challenges, we are confident that our ability to generate accurate and highly relevant sales leads in a variety of niche verticals can help our clients achieve a high ROI with a limited marketing budget."
Ms. Betty Ho, CFO of Phoenix New Media, further stated, "For the first quarter of 2019, our total revenues reached RMB284.9 million, exceeding the high end of our previous guidance as a result of the better than expected performance of the digital reading business of Tadu. The total consolidated paid services revenues for the first quarter of 2019 increased by 66.1% year over year to RMB68.9 million. However, our net advertising revenues for the first quarter of 2019 decreased to RMB216.0 million primarily as a result of macroeconomic uncertainties and increased competition. Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in the expansion of original content and to further diversify our product offerings. We are actively exploring potential investment in premium content and expect the synergies between our different businesses to enable us to enter into a fresh growth cycle."
First Quarter 2019 Financial Results
REVENUES
Total revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were RMB284.9 million (US$42.4 million), which were flat as compared with the same quarter last year, though the Company consolidated the revenues from Beijing Yitian Xindong Network Technology Co., Ltd. ("Yitian Xindong" or "Tadu") of RMB43.5 million (US$6.5 million), the advertising revenues were decreased due to macroeconomic headwind and intense competition.
Net advertising revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were RMB216.0 million (US$32.2 million), which represented a decrease of 11.3% from RMB243.4 million in the first quarter of 2018, primarily attributable to a 9.0% year-over-year decrease in PC advertising revenues and a 12.4% year-over-year decrease in mobile advertising revenues.
Paid services revenues([1]) for the first quarter of 2019 were RMB68.9 million (US$10.3 million), which represented an increase of 66.1% from RMB41.5 million in the first quarter of 2018. Revenues from paid contents for the first quarter of 2019 increased 147.8% to RMB52.9 million (US$7.9 million) from RMB21.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to the inclusion of digital reading revenues from Tadu. Revenues from games for the first quarter of 2019 were RMB3.1 million (US$0.5 million), which represented a decrease of 35.0% from RMB4.8 million in the first quarter of 2018. Revenues from MVAS for the first quarter of 2019 were RMB7.9 million (US$1.2 million), which represented a decrease of 42.0% from RMB13.7 million in the first quarter of 2018. Revenues from others for the first quarter of 2019 were RMB5.0 million (US$0.7 million), which represented an increase of 200.8% from RMB1.6 million in the first quarter of 2018, mainly caused by the increase in revenues from commissions generated from online transactions.
[1] Prior to 2019, paid services revenues comprised of (i) revenues from digital entertainment, which included MVAS and digital reading, and (ii) revenues from games and others, which included web-based games, mobile games, content sales, and other online and mobile paid services through the Company's own platforms. Beginning from January 1, 2019, paid services revenues have been re-classified and now comprised of (i) revenues from paid contents, which includes digital reading, audio books, paid videos, and other content-related sales activities, (ii) revenues from games, which includes web- based games and mobile games, (iii) revenues from MVAS, and (iv) revenues from others. For comparison purposes, the revenues from paid services for the quarters of 2018 have been retrospectively re-classified.
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2019 was RMB178.2 million (US$26.5 million), representing an increase of 38.4% from RMB128.7 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in cost of revenues was mainly due to:
-- Content and operational costs for the first quarter of 2019 increased from RMB105.8 million in the first quarter of 2018 to RMB147.0 million (US$21.9 million), primarily attributable to an increase in IP production costs. -- Revenue sharing fees to telecom operators and channel partners for the first quarter of 2019 increased from RMB8.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 to RMB17.3 million (US$2.6 million), primarily attributable to the increase in revenue sharing fees paid to content providers by Tadu. -- Share-based compensation included in cost of revenues was RMB1.4 million (US$0.2 million) in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to RMB0.2 million in the first quarter of 2018, primarily attributable to the newly granted restricted share units to some employees under a restricted share unit scheme adopted in 2018 by Fread Limited, a subsidiary of the Company.
The increase in cost of revenues was partially offset by decrease in bandwidth costs from RMB14.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 to RMB13.9 million (US$2.1 million) for the first quarter of 2019.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2019 was RMB106.7 million (US$15.9 million), as compared to RMB156.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2019 decreased to 37.5% from 54.9% in the first quarter of 2018, mainly caused by the 38.4% year-over-year increase in cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2019 as explained above.
To supplement the financial measures presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, which excluded the impact of certain reconciling items as stated in the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below. The related reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are presented in the accompanying "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results of Operation Measures to the Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures."
Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2019, which excluded share-based compensation, decreased to 38.0% from 55.0% in the first quarter of 2018.
OPERATING EXPENSES AND LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2019 increased by 6.9% from RMB214.0 million in the first quarter of 2018 to RMB228.8 million (US$34.1 million), primarily attributable to the inclusion of operating expenses from Tadu. Share-based compensation included in operating expenses was RMB2.5 million (US$0.4 million) in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to RMB3.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. As the Company recognized share-based compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, on a graded-vesting basis over the vesting term of the awards, there was less share-based compensation recognized in the first quarter of 2019 for share options granted prior to 2019.
Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2019 was RMB122.1 million (US$18.2 million), as compared to loss from operations of RMB57.9 million in the first quarter of 2018. Operating margin for the first quarter of 2019 decreased to negative 42.9% from negative 20.3% in the first quarter of 2018.
Non-GAAP loss from operations for the first quarter of 2019, which excluded share-based compensation, was RMB118.1 million (US$17.6 million), as compared to non-GAAP loss from operations of RMB54.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP operating margin for the first quarter of 2019, which excluded share-based compensation, decreased to negative 41.5% from negative 19.1% in the first quarter of 2018.
OTHER INCOME OR LOSS
Other income or loss reflects interest income, interest expense, foreign currency exchange gain or loss, income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairments, and others, net([2]). Total net other income for the first quarter of 2019 was RMB1.9 million (US$0.3 million), as compared to net other loss of RMB5.2 million in the first quarter of 2018.
-- Interest income for the first quarter of 2019 decreased to RMB8.7 million (US$1.3 million) from RMB12.9 million in the first quarter of 2018. -- Interest expense for the first quarter of 2019 decreased to RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million), from RMB4.6 million in the first quarter of 2018, which was primarily due to the decrease in outstanding short-term bank loans in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to that of 2018. -- Foreign currency exchange loss for the first quarter of 2019 was RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million), as compared to foreign currency exchange loss of RMB15.1 million in the first quarter of 2018, which was mainly caused by the less significant appreciation of Renminbi against US dollars in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to that of 2018 that generated less exchange loss in Renminbi denominated liabilities recorded in the Company's subsidiaries whose functional currency is not Renminbi. -- Loss from equity method investments, net of impairments, for the first quarter of 2019 was RMB4.0 million (US$0.6 million), as compared to loss from equity method investments, net of impairment, of RMB2.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. -- Others, net, for the first quarter of 2019 decreased to RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million), from RMB4.1 million in the first quarter of 2018.
[2] "Others, net" primarily consists of government subsidies and litigation loss provisions.
NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PHOENIX NEW MEDIA LIMITED
Net loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the first quarter of 2019 was RMB119.7 million (US$17.8 million), as compared to net loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited of RMB57.5 million in the first quarter of 2018. Net margin for the first quarter of 2019 decreased to negative 42.0% from negative 20.2% in the first quarter of 2018. Net loss per diluted ADS([3]) in the first quarter of 2019 was RMB1.65 (US$0.25), as compared to net loss per diluted ADS of RMB0.79 in the first quarter of 2018.
Non-GAAP net loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the first quarter of 2019, which excluded share-based compensation and income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairments, was RMB111.8 million (US$16.7 million), as compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited of RMB51.7 million in the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net margin for the first quarter of 2019 decreased to negative 39.2% from negative 18.2% in the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net loss per diluted ADS in the first quarter of 2019 was RMB1.54 (US$0.23), as compared to non-GAAP net loss per diluted ADS of RMB0.71 in the first quarter of 2018.
For the first quarter of 2019, the Company's weighted average number of ADSs used in the computation of diluted net loss per ADS was 72,773,389. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a total of 582,249,952 ordinary shares outstanding, or the equivalent of 72,781,244 ADSs.
[3] "ADS" means American Depositary Share of the Company. Each ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares of the Company.
CERTAIN BALANCE SHEET ITEMS
As of March 31, 2019, the Company's cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and short term investments and restricted cash were RMB1.75 billion (US$260.3 million). Restricted cash represents deposits placed as security for banking facilities granted to the Company, which are restricted in their withdrawal or usage. The increase of cash balance was due to the receipt of the US$100.0 million deposit from proposed buyers of investments in Particle Inc. ("Particle").
On February 23, 2019, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with an independent third party to sell 32% of the total outstanding shares of Particle on an as-if converted basis to such party or its designated entities (collectively referred to as the "Proposed Buyers") for a total consideration of US$448.0 million in cash. The proposed buyers have paid cash deposit of US$100.0 million to the Company, and the Company and the proposed buyers entered into the formal purchase agreement (the "SPA") on March 22, 2019 (the "Proposed Transactions"). Completion of the Proposed Transactions is still subject to certain closing conditions, though some of them have been met and some of them are progressing. There is no assurance that the Proposed Transactions will ever be closed. The fair value of available-for-sale debt investments in Particle increased from RMB1,959.5 million as of December 31, 2018 to RMB2,728.4 million (US$406.6 million) as of March 31, 2019, mainly due to the increased possibility of completing the Proposed Transactions based on the status of various closing conditions used in the valuation of available-for-sale debt investments in Particle for the first quarter of 2019.
Business Outlook
For the second quarter of 2019, the Company expects its total revenues to be between RMB374.1 million and RMB394.1 million; net advertising revenues are expected to be between RMB308.8 million and RMB323.8 million; and paid services revenues are expected to be between RMB65.3 million and RMB70.3 million.
All of the above forecasts reflect the Company's current and preliminary view on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Phoenix New Media Limited uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income or loss from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited, non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP net income or loss per diluted ADS, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP income or loss from operations is income or loss from operations excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income or loss from operations divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited is net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited excluding share-based compensation and income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairments. Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss per diluted ADS is non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by weighted average number of diluted ADSs. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the aforementioned non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with the related GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that using these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business allows both management and investors to assess the Company's performance against its competitors and ultimately monitor its capacity to generate returns for investors. The Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of items like share-based compensation and income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairments, which have been and will continue to be significant and recurring in its business. However, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's gross profit, income or loss from operations and net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the period. In addition, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as an alternative to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
