  • Mobile monthly active users ("Mobile MAUs") increased by 48 million quarter-over-quarter to 443.6 million in March 2015. Mobile MAUs from overseas markets were 70.9% of total mobile MAUs in March 2015.

Mr. Sheng Fu, Cheetah Mobile's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our mobile business continued to enjoy tremendous momentum during the first quarter 2015. Our mobile MAUs increased by 48 million quarter-over-quarter to 443.6 million in March. Five of our apps were among the top-30 non-game apps on Google Play in March 2015 and Cheetah Mobile remained the top publisher in the tools category on Google Play.  Started only two years ago, our mobile monetization, especially in overseas markets, has already become our main source of revenue and a key growth engine for us. During the quarter, we have further expanded our partnerships with leading mobile advertising networks worldwide and made strategic investments and acquisitions of key mobile advertising assets.  As a result, for the first time in our operating history, mobile revenues accounted for a majority of total revenues, a major milestone towards achieving our mobile and global transformation goals.  As we continue towards our strategic goal to be among the top three global mobile advertising platforms, we will remain relentlessly focused on our users, product innovation and operational excellence."    

Mr. Andy Yeung, Cheetah Mobile's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our total revenues this quarter increased 113% year over year, which well exceeded our prior guidance and was driven mainly by the continued ramp-up of our mobile advertising business, especially in overseas markets. Mobile revenues increased 584.1% year over year and now accounts for 55% of total revenues, with overseas revenues contributing 38% of total revenues and 70% of mobile revenues in the quarter. In order to capture the vast global mobile advertising opportunities ahead, we will continue to execute on our strategy to attract more mobile users, further strengthen our capabilities in big data analytics, and improve our mobile advertising technology and platform." 

First Quarter 2015 Financial Results

REVENUES

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2015 increased by 113.0% to RMB672.5 million (US$108.5 million) from RMB315.7 million in the prior year period. This increase was driven by the Company's organic business growth, primarily due to substantial improvements in mobile monetization. 

  • Revenues from online marketing services increased by 141.1% to RMB559.9 million (US$90.3 million) in the first quarter of 2015 from RMB232.2 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by the strong demand for the Company's mobile advertising business in overseas and domestic markets as well as the rapid growth of the worldwide mobile advertising market.
  • Revenues from internet value added services ("IVAS") increased by 35.3% to RMB97.2 million (US$15.7 million) in the first quarter of 2015 from RMB71.8 million in the prior year period. This increase primarily reflected the growth of revenue from mobile and PC games published by the Company.
  • Revenues from internet security services and others increased by 32.0% to RMB15.5 million (US$2.5 million) in the first quarter of 2015 from RMB11.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the sales of the Company's air purifier product.

By platform, revenues generated from mobile business increased by 584.1% to RMB367.4 million (US$59.3 million) from RMB53.7 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the increasing popularity of the Company's mobile marketing services in overseas and domestic markets, as well as the rapid growth of mobile advertising market globally.

Cost of revenues increased by 106.3% to RMB145.3 million (US$23.4 million) in the first quarter of 2015 from RMB70.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in cost of revenues was mainly due to higher costs associated with the mobile game business, higher bandwidth and internet data center (IDC) costs associated with increased user traffic, as well as higher amortization costs from intangible assets resulting from acquisitions.

Gross profit increased by 114.9% to RMB527.2 million (US$85.0 million) in the first quarter of 2015 from RMB245.3 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased to 78.4% in the first quarter of 2015 from 77.7% in the prior year period.

  • Research and development expenses increased by 65.8% to RMB128.9 million (US$20.8 million) from RMB77.8 million in the prior year period.

  • Selling and marketing expenses increased by 123.5% to RMB249.5 million (US$40.2 million) from RMB111.6 million in the prior year period.

Safe Harbor Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements.  These statements, including management quotes and business outlook, constitute forward-looking statements under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements.  Such statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about: Cheetah Mobile's growth strategies; Cheetah Mobile's ability to retain and increase its user base and expand its product and service offerings; Cheetah Mobile's ability to monetize its platform; Cheetah Mobile's future business development, financial condition and results of operations; competition from companies in a number of industries including internet companies that provide online marketing services and internet value-added services; expected changes in Cheetah Mobile's revenues and certain cost or expense items; and general economic and business condition globally and in China.

Cheetah Mobile does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Cheetah Mobile's consolidated financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Cheetah Mobile uses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Non-GAAP operating expenses reflect operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses.
  • Non-GAAP operating profit reflects operating profit excluding share-based compensation expenses.
  • Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenues.
  • Non-GAAP net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders is net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses.
  • Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders as a percentage of total revenues.
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS is non-GAAP net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADSs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-operating income and share-based compensation expenses

The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of share-based compensation expenses adds clarity to the constituent parts of its performance from the cash perspective. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measure for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of share-based compensation expenses, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" and "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Cheetah Mobile Shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)" at the end of this release.
