Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results
For the third quarter of 2015, SINA reported net revenues of
$226.3 million, compared to
$198.6 million for the same period
last year. Non-GAAP net revenues for the third quarter of 2015
totaled $223.7 million, compared to
$196.0 million for the same period
last year.
Online advertising revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were
$193.5 million, compared to
$166.8 million for the same period
last year. The year-over-year growth in online advertising revenues
resulted from an increase of $40.5
million in Weibo advertising and marketing revenues,
partially offset by a decline of $13.8
million in portal advertising revenues.
Non-advertising revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were
$32.8 million. Non-GAAP
non-advertising revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were
$30.2 million, compared to
$29.2 million for the same period
last year.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2015 was 63%, at similar
level for the same period last year. Advertising gross margin for
the third quarter of 2015 was 64%, compared to 62% for the same
period last year. Non-advertising gross margin for the third
quarter of 2015 was 60%, compared to 67% for the same period last
year. The decline in non-advertising margin was primarily due to
the decrease in higher margin data licensing revenue and increase
in lower margin contribution of portal's early stage new
business.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2015 totaled
$128.6 million, compared to
$135.7 million for the same period
last year. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of
2015 totaled $113.9 million, compared
to $127.1 million for the same period
last year, primarily due to the decrease in sales and marketing
expenditures, decrease in general and administrative expenses,
partially offset by an increase in product and development
expenses.
Income from operations for the third quarter of 2015 was
$14.7 million, compared to a loss of
$10.9 million for the same period
last year. Non-GAAP income from operations for the third quarter of
2015 was $28.4 million, compared to a
non-GAAP loss of $4.0 million for the
same period last year as a result of enhanced operation
efficiency.
Non-operating income for the third quarter of 2015 was
$4.9 million, compared to a
non-operating income of $144.3
million for the same period last year. Non-operating income
for the third quarter of 2015 mainly included a $5.9 million interest and other income.
Non-operating income for the third quarter of 2014 was $144.3 million, which mainly included 1) a
$109.2 million gain from the sale of
a portion the Company's investment in Alibaba through Yunfeng
E-Commerce Funds in Alibaba's initial public offering; 2) a
$19.2 million gain as a result of the
initial public offering of Leju, a subsidiary of E-house, which had
been excluded from non-operating income under non-GAAP measure.
Net income attributable to SINA for the third quarter of 2015
was $9.8 million, compared to
$133.6 million for the same period
last year. Diluted net income per share attributable to SINA for
the third quarter of 2015 was $0.16,
compared to $1.91 for the same period
last year. Non-GAAP net income attributable to SINA for the third
quarter of 2015 was $24.4 million,
compared to $13.1 million for the
same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share
attributable to SINA for the third quarter of 2015 was $0.39, compared to $0.19 for the same period last year.
As of September 30, 2015, SINA's
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled
$1.9 billion, compared to
$2.2 billion as of December 31, 2014. The decrease in cash, cash
equivalents, and short-term investments was mainly due to the share
buyback completed in May 2015 and
investments made in the past three quarters of 2015. For the third
quarter of 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was
$107.1 million, capital expenditures
totaled $6.7 million, and
depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to $8.8 million.

Non-GAAP Measures
This release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures:
non-GAAP net revenues, non-GAAP non-advertising revenues, non-GAAP
advertising and non-advertising gross margin, non-GAAP operating
expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net
income attributable to SINA and non-GAAP diluted net income per
share attributable to SINA. These non-GAAP financial measures
should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for,
measures of the Company's financial performance prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP financial
measures may be defined differently than similar terms used by
other companies. Accordingly, care should be exercised in
understanding how the Company defines its non-GAAP financial
measures.
The Company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude recognition of
deferred revenues in relation to the equity investment in E-House,
stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets net of
tax, adjustment for GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items on the share
of equity method investments, gain (loss) on the sale, deemed
disposal and impairment on business, investment and non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary, change in fair value of investor option
liability, adjustment for GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items for
the gain (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests and
amortization of convertible debt issuance cost. The Company's
management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their
financial and operating decision-making, because management
believes these measures reflect the Company's ongoing business
operations in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period
comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures provide useful information to investors and others in the
following ways: (i) in comparing the Company's current financial
results with the Company's past financial results in a consistent
manner, and (ii) in understanding and evaluating the Company's
current operating performance and future prospects in the same
manner as management does, if they so choose. The Company also
believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
information to both management and investors by excluding certain
expenses, gains/losses and other items (i) that are not expected to
result in future cash payments or (ii) that are non-recurring in
nature or may not be indicative of the Company's core operating
results and business outlook.
Use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations. The
Company's non-GAAP financial measures do not include all income and
expense items that affect the Company's operations. They may not be
comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Management compensates for these limitations by also considering
the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP measures to the
nearest comparable GAAP measures are set forth in the section below
titled "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Results."
