Second Quarter 2012 Results

Revenues

Net revenues in the second quarter of 2012 were $20.0 million, an increase of 125.0% year-over-year from $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 and 24.9% sequentially from $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2012. Excluding revenues of $1.4 million from NationSky, net revenues increased 109.1% year-over-year and 16.1% sequentially to $18.6 million, exceeding the high end of the Company’s previous guidance of $17.5 million to $17.8 million.

Net revenues from premium mobile Internet services increased 108.8% year-over-year and 15.7% sequentially to $16.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increases were primarily due to the strong and steady growth in the number of paying user accounts, which reflected growth in the number of registered and active user accounts, as well as increased use of NQ Mobile’s premium services, particularly among the overseas paying user accounts, which generally pay a higher subscription rate. Revenue contribution from overseas users accounted for 51.2% of total net revenues from premium mobile Internet services in the second quarter of 2012, compared with 49.5% in the second quarter of 2011, and 50.8% in the first quarter of 2012.

Net revenues from other services in the second quarter of 2012, which include revenues from NationSky, increased 231.0% year-over-year and 86.1% sequentially to $3.9 million. Excluding the revenues of $1.4 million from NationSky, net revenues from other services were $2.5 million, representing an increase of 111.3% year-over-year and 18.8% sequentially. The increases were mainly due to the growth in revenues from secured download and delivery services for mobile applications produced by third parties. Excluding revenues from NationSky, net revenues from other services as a percentage of total net revenue excluding NationSky was 13.4% in the second quarter of 2012, compared with 13.3% in the second quarter of 2011 and 13.1% in the first quarter of 2012.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues in the second quarter of 2012 was $4.7 million, representing an increase of 159.3% year-over-year and 37.2% sequentially. Excluding $1.1 million of NationSky’s contribution, cost of revenues increased 97.0% year-over-year and 4.2% sequentially to $3.6 million. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased customer acquisition costs as a result of more users acquired in the second quarter and higher revenue sharing with mobile payment service providers which is consistent with the increase of revenue from mobile payment service providers while the sequential increase was primarily due to increased staff cost due to headcount increase and intangible asset amortization cost resulted from the NationSky acquisition.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2012 was $15.3 million, representing an increase of 116.2% year-over-year from $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2011 and 21.6% sequentially from $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2012. Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, was 76.5% in the second quarter of 2012, compared with 79.6% in the second quarter of 2011 and 78.6% in the first quarter of 2012. Excluding the impact from NationSky, gross margin was 80.8% in the second quarter of 2012. Given NationSky’s lower margin business nature, gross margin is expected to decline further in the second half of 2012 as NationSky’s revenue contribution becomes greater. NationSky’s gross margin in the second quarter was about 19.9% on a standalone basis and cost of revenues for NationSky primarily consist of the hardware device procurement cost.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2012 were $13.8 million, representing an increase of 108.9% year-over-year and 22.7% sequentially. Non-GAAP operating expenses[7], were $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 158.8% year-over-year from $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2011 and 25.1% sequentially from $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2012. NationSky contributed to $0.13 million in operating expenses in the second quarter of 2012.

Selling and marketing expenses were $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 223.1% year-over-year and 17.0% sequentially. Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses[8] were $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 275.4% year-over-year and 22.1% sequentially, compared with $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher marketing and advertising spending and higher staff costs as a result of increases in salary and headcount while the sequential increase was primarily due to higher staff cost and office related expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 89.6% year-over-year and 24.3% sequentially. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher share-based compensation expenses caused by the impact of additional option issuance to employees since the end of second quarter of 2011 and restricted share grant to a newly hired executive in the first half of 2012, higher staff costs from salary and headcount increases, higher legal and professional fees resulted from the contemplated follow-on offering and higher office related expenses. The sequential increase was primarily due to higher share-based compensation expenses caused by the impact of modification of the restricted shares grant in the second quarter of 2012 and higher legal and professional fees resulted from the contemplated follow-on offering partially offset by lower staff costs caused mainly by a one-time signing bonus paid to a newly hired executive in the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses[9] were $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2012. The 143.8% year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher staff costs from salary and headcount increases, higher legal and professional fees resulted from the contemplated follow-on offering and higher office related expenses while the 24.5% sequential increase was primarily due to higher legal and professional fees resulted from the contemplated follow-on offering and higher office related expenses partially offset by lower staff costs caused mainly by a one-time signing bonus paid to a newly hired executive in the first quarter of 2012.

Research and development expenses were $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 66.1% year-over-year and 27.9% sequentially. Non-GAAP research and development expenses[10] were $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 74.8% year-over-year and 33.1% sequentially, compared with $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2012.The year-over-year and sequential increases were primarily due to higher staff costs from salary and headcount increases

Operating Income and Operating Margin

Operating income in the second quarter of 2012 was $1.5 million, representing an increase of 216.4% year-over-year from $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 and an increase of 12.2% sequentially from $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2012. Operating margin, or operating income as a percentage of net revenues, was 7.5% in the second quarter of 2012, compared with 5.4% in the second quarter of 2011 and 8.4% in the first quarter of 2012.

Non-GAAP operating income was $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 77.5% year-over-year from $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 and a sequential increase of 17.0% from $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP operating margin[11] was 32.8% in the second quarter of 2012, compared with 41.6% in the second quarter of 2011 and 35.0% in the first quarter of 2012. Excluding the impact from NationSky, non-GAAP operating margin was 34.5% in the second quarter of 2012. NationSky’s operating margin was about 10.4% on a standalone basis in the second quarter of 2012.

Foreign Exchange Gain and Interest Income Foreign exchange loss was $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with a gain of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2011 and a loss of $0.06 million in the first quarter of 2012. The larger foreign exchange loss increases was primarily attributable to the depreciation of RMB against US$ as a significant portion of IPO proceeds was converted into RMB and placed in bank deposits since the second quarter of 2011. Interest income was $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2012. The significant year-over-year increases were primarily due to the higher deposit position resulting from the May 2011 IPO proceeds.

Income Tax

Income tax expenses were $0.12 million and the effective tax rate was 5.7% in the second quarter of 2012, compared with an income tax benefit of $0.02 million in the second quarter of 2011 and an income tax expense of $0.07 million in the first quarter of 2012. The low effective tax rate was primarily due to the preferential tax treatment enjoyed by certain subsidiaries of the Company.

NationSky contributed about $0.05 million to net income in the second quarter of 2012.

Cash Flows and Deferred Revenue

Net cash flow generated from operations for the second quarter of 2012 was $1.9 million, compared with $3.0 million for the corresponding period of 2011 and $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2012.

Equity Investment in Associates

Equity investment in associates was $6.7 million as of the end of second quarter of 2012 compared to $1.3 million as of the end of first quarter of 2012 because the Company made minority equity investments in two mobile Internet companies in the second quarter totaling $5.2 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), NQ Mobile’s management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income and net income attributable to NQ Mobile, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the share-based compensation expenses. The Company also uses non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per ADS, which is the non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADS.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help the Company’s investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of the Company’s continuing operations and its prospects for the future. The Company’s non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, the Company’s calculation of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of NQ Mobile’s current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income and net income attributable to NQ Mobile, excluding share-based compensation expenses, is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business for the foreseeable future. In order to mitigate these limitations the Company has provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables include details on the reconciliation between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has presented.

Notes to Financial Information

Financial information in this press release other than the information indicated as being non-GAAP is derived from NQ Mobile’s unaudited financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Note 1: The net income attributable to common shareholders reflected the impact of non-cash accounting charges relating to the preferred shares.  All outstanding preferred shares were automatically converted into common shares upon the completion of the Company’s IPO on May 5, 2011. Thereafter, there was no accretion and allocation of net income to the preferred shares and all net income was attributable to the common shareholders subsequent to IPO.
Note 2: The Company was listed in May 2011, the net earnings per ADS for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 is calculated using the same conversion ratio assuming the ADS was existed during such period.  Each ADS represents five Class A common shares.
