Q4 2007 Financial Results
Deferred Revenue:
Despite the severe correction of China's stock market in the fourth
quarter of 2007, subscription services provided to retail investors, the
Company's current core business, still delivered strong performance and
achieved record results. Deferred revenue at the end of the fourth quarter of
2007, which represents prepaid service fees made by customers for subscription
services that have not been rendered as at December 31, 2007, reached the
Company's historical high of $25.12 million, with current deferred revenue of
$20.46 million and non-current deferred revenue of $4.66 million. The Company
started to provide subscription services for a service period longer than one
year in 2007; therefore, the Company reported non-current deferred revenue at
December 31, 2007.
Net Revenues:
During the fourth quarter of 2007,China Finance Online reported net
revenues of $8.88 million, compared to $2.52 million for the same period in
2006, and $7.30 million for the third quarter of 2007, up 252% year-over-year
and 22% quarter-over-quarter. The increase is primarily due to the growth in
subscription service fees from individual customers. Revenues from
subscription service fees paid by retail customers were $7.76 million in the
fourth quarter of 2007, representing 87% of net revenues for the quarter.
Revenues from mobile value added services were $384,000, representing 4% of
net revenues for the quarter. Revenues from subscription service fees paid by
institutional customers were $229,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007,
approximately 3% of net revenues for the quarter. Revenues from
advertising-related business for the quarter contributed $408,000,
representing 5% of net revenues for the quarter. Other revenues were $102,000,
representing 1% of net revenues for the quarter.
Gross Profit:
Gross profit for the quarter was $7.56 million, compared to $1.89 million
for the same period in 2006 and $6.11 million for the third quarter of 2007.
Gross margin of 85% in the fourth quarter was an increase from 75% in the same
period of 2006 and from 84% in the third quarter of 2007. Cost of revenues for
the fourth quarter of 2007 included website maintenance and development
expenses of $903,000, compared to $634,000 from the previous quarter, which
consists of bandwidth costs, personnel-related expenses, server depreciation
expenses, and content expenses for our jrj.com and stockstar.com websites.
Since advertising-related services, which represent 5% of net revenues of the
fourth quarter of 2007, are not a sizable business of the Company, website
maintenance and development expenses do not have direct relationship with net
revenues recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007. Excluding website
maintenance and development expenses of $903,000, the gross margin for the
fourth quarter of 2007 would have been 95%.
Operating Expenses:
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter totalled $5.93 million, compared
to $2.64 million for the same period in 2006 and $4.67 million from the
previous quarter. The increase from Q3 2007 is primarily due to higher
commission and bonus expenses in line with strong core business results, the
increase in marketing expenditure to enhance brand and product awareness, as
well as the increase in professional service fees.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter were $2.63 million,
compared to $1.05 million for the same period in 2006 and $2.17 million from
the previous quarter. The increase is primarily due to increase in
professional service fees. General and administrative expenses for the fourth
quarter included $797,000 in stock-based compensation, compared to $1.01
million in the previous quarter.
Sales and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter were $2.43 million,
compared to $1.25 million for the same period in 2006 and $1.89 million from
the previous quarter. This increase is largely due to the increased commission
and bonus expenses and marketing expenditure. Sales and marketing expenses for
the fourth quarter of 2007 also included $45,000 in stock-based compensation,
compared to $37,000 in the third quarter.
Product development expenses for the fourth quarter were $865,000,
compared to $334,000 for the same period in 2006 and $614,000 from the
previous quarter, which is primarily due to increases in employee compensation
as a result of increased headcounts. Product development expenses for the
quarter also included stock-based compensation of $33,000, compared to $39,000
in the previous quarter.
Income from Operations:
Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $1.77 million,
compared to operating loss $741,000 for the same quarter in 2006 and income
from operation of $1.44 million for the third quarter of 2007. Adjusted income
from operations (non-GAAP), which is defined as income from operations
excluding stock-based compensation expenses of $875,000, was $2.64 million for
the quarter, compared to adjusted operating loss of $516,000 for the same
quarter in 2006 and adjusted operating income of $2.52 million for the third
quarter of 2007.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Net Income (Loss):
In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an investment
impairment of $11.13 million in our cost method investment in Moloon.
Non-GAAP net income, excluding stock-based compensation expenses of
$875,000 and the investment impairment of $11.13 million in Moloon, was $3.63
million for Q4 2007, compared to a net loss of $149,000 for the fourth quarter
of 2006, and net income of $2.98 million for the third quarter of 2007.
Reflecting the non-cash impairment charge, net loss for Q4 2007 was $8.37
million.
As part of the net income for the fourth quarter, the Company recorded a
net exchange gain of $220,000 due to the recent change in the exchange rates
between the U.S. dollar and the RMB.
Excluding stock-based compensation expenses of $875,000 and the investment
impairment of $11.13 million in Moloon, non-GAAP net income margin for the
fourth quarter of 2007 was 41%, compared to non-GAAP net income margin of -6%
for the same period in 2006 and non-GAAP net income margin of 41% for the
third quarter of 2007. Net income margin was -94% for Q4 2007, compared to
-67% for the same period in 2006 and 26% for the third quarter of 2007. Total
income tax benefit for the quarter was $398,000, compared to $77,000 for the
same period in 2006 and $176,000 for the previous quarter.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $74.73 million at
the end of the fourth quarter of 2007, including cash denominated in RMB with
an equivalent to $51.13 million and cash denominated in other foreign
currencies with an equivalent to $23.60 million.
Cash Flow Statement:
Cash inflow from subscription services provided to retail customers was
$13.73 million. Net operating cash flows for the fourth quarter of 2007 were
$10.91 million.
Adjusted EBIDTA (Non-GAAP):
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), which is defined as earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-operating income and stock-based
compensation expenses, was $2.96 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.
Full Year 2007 Financial Results
For the full year ended December 31, 2007, net revenues increased by 263%
to $25.90 million from $7.13 million in 2006.
Gross profit in 2007 increased by 279% to $21.47 million from $5.66
million in 2006. Gross margin in 2007 was 83% compared with 79% in 2006.
Total operating expenses in 2007 were $16.98 million, compared to $6.36
million in 2006.
Income from operations in 2007 was $4.64 million, compared to the
operating loss of $704,000 in 2006.
Non-GAAP net income in 2007, excluding stock-based compensation expenses
of $2.95 million and the investment impairment of $11.13 million in Moloon,
was $9.94 million, up 422% from $1.91 million in 2006.
Non-GAAP net income margin in 2007 was 38%, compared to non-GAAP net
income margin of 27% in 2006.
Reflecting the non-cash impairment charge, net loss in 2007 was $4.13
million. Net income margin was -16% for full year 2007.
Investment Impairment
In December of 2005, the Company purchased a minority interest in Moloon,
a provider of mobile stream media technology and services. During the second
half of 2006,China Mobile Communication Corporation announced policy changes
in accordance with directives from China's Ministry of Information Industry.
These policy changes had a negative impact on all mobile value-added service
("MVAS") providers including Moloon.
Thereafter, Moloon adopted new strategies to transform itself into a
leading provider of mobile online gaming services inChina.
However, despite the new strategies Moloon's financial conditions have
deteriorated and, following an independent valuation of the Company's cost
method investment in Moloon, it was determined that the Company should record
a non-cash investment impairment of $11.13 million, reducing the carrying
balance of such investment from $12.61 million to $1.48 million, 88% off the
book value.
China Finance Online does not expect the impairment charge against its
investment in Moloon, or disposal of this investment in the future if possible,
to have any adverse impact on its business growth.
Q4 2007 Operating Results
As of December 31, 2007, the Company has 9.0 million registered user
accounts of jrj.com and stockstar.com, compared to 8.1 million in the previous
quarter, an increase of 0.9 million quarter-on-quarter.
Active paying retail subscriber as of December 31, 2007 grew to 56,200, up
24% from 45,500 in the previous quarter.
Outlook for First Quarter and Full Year 2008
The Company currently expects to generate net revenues in an amount
ranging from $10 million to $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2008,
representing a 150% to 163% increase from the corresponding period in 2007.
On a non-GAAP basis, the Company estimates adjusted earnings, which
represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, will be
between $3.7 million and $4 million for the first quarter of 2008,
representing a 217% to 242% increase from the corresponding period in 2007.
Backed by record deferred revenue and operating cash flows, steadily
increasing registered user base and continuous enhancement in telemarketing
capabilities and our recent partnerships withShanghai Stock Exchange and
China Telecom, the Company now raises its projected net revenues for 2008 to a
range from $54 million to $61 million, compared to the previous guidance of
$50 million to $60 million. Accordingly, the Company also raises its projected
adjusted earnings for 2008 from the previous guidance of $22 million to $28
million to the range of $24 million to $29 million.
The Company believes that the projected 2008 financial results will be
back-end loaded due to, among other things, the following reasons: 1) prepaid
subscription fees from retail subscribers are recognized over subscription
periods; 2) the Company does not expect the recent initiatives includingChina
Telecom partnership and expansion of telemarketing team to make a sizable
contribution to revenues and earnings until the second half of 2008.
The above forecast reflects the Company's current and preliminary view,
which is subject to change. A number of important factors including, but not
limited to, fluctuation in the Chinese stock market could cause the actual
results to differ materially from those contained in the above guidance.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information
presented in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company uses non-GAAP measures of
income from operations, net income, net income per share, net income per ADS,
and EBITDA, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude
impairment in a cost method investment and the compensation cost of
share-based awards granted to employees primarily due to the adoption of SFAS
123R, which became effective on January 1, 2006. The non-GAAP financial
measures are provided to enhance the investors' overall understanding of the
Company's current and past financial performance in on-going core operations
as well as prospects for the future. These measures should be considered in
addition to results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, but should
not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Management
uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business
internally and therefore deems it important to provide all of this information
to investors.
Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are set fourth after the
"Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations" included in this release.
