SINA Reports Second Quarter 2019 Unaudited Financial Results

 

BEIJING, China—August 19, 2019—SINA Corporation (the “Company” or “SINA”) (NASDAQ: SINA), a leading online media company serving China and the global Chinese communities, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights

 

·          Net revenues decreased 1% year-over-year to $533.1 million. Non-GAAP net revenues decreased 1% year-over-year to $530.4 million, representing an increase of 5% on a constant currency basis [1].

·          Advertising revenues decreased 5% year-over-year to $433.6 million.

·          Non-advertising revenues increased 19% year-over-year to $99.4 million. Non-GAAP non-advertising revenues increased 20% year-over-year to $96.8 million.

·          Net income attributable to SINA was $51.4 million, or $0.73 for diluted net income per share attributable to SINA’s ordinary shareholders. Non-GAAP net income attributable to SINA was $54.0 million, or $0.76 for non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to SINA’s ordinary shareholders.

 


[1] On a constant currency (non-GAAP) basis, we assume that the exchange rate in the second quarter of 2019 had been the same as it was in the second quarter of 2018, or RMB6.40=US$1.00.

 

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

 

For the second quarter of 2019, SINA reported net revenues of $533.1 million, a decrease of 1% compared to $537.4 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were $530.4 million, a decrease of 1% compared to $534.8 million for the same period last year.

 

Advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were $433.6 million, a decrease of 5% compared to $454.1 million for the same period last year, primarily due to a decline in portal advertising revenues and negative currency translation impact.

 

Non-advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were $99.4 million, an increase of 19% compared to $83.3 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP non-advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were $96.8 million, an increase of 20% compared to $80.7 million for the same period last year. The year-over-year growth in non-advertising revenues was mainly attributable to the revenues derived from Weibo’s live streaming business acquired in the fourth quarter of 2018 and increased revenues generated from SINA fin-tech businesses.

 

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2019 was 77%, compared to 80% for the same period last year. Advertising gross margin for the second quarter of 2019 was 80%, compared to 82% for the same period last year. Non-advertising gross margin for the second quarter of 2019 was 61%, down from 69% for the same period last year, resulted from the relatively lower gross margin of the acquired live streaming business of Weibo.

 


 

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $282.7 million, compared to $294.7 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $256.0 million, compared to $272.1 million for the same period last year. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily attributable to a reduction in sales and marketing expenses through cost efficiency achieved in channel marketing campaigns.

 

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2019 was $126.0 million, compared to $136.2 million for the same period last year. Operating margin was 24%, compared to 25% for the same period last year. Non-GAAP income from operations for the second quarter of 2019 was $152.8 million, compared to $159.1 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating margin was 29%, compared to 30% for the same period last year.

 

Non-operating income for the second quarter of 2019 was $19.7 million, compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year. Non-operating income for the second quarter of 2019 included (i) a $15.7 million net interest and other income; (ii) a $4.3 million net earning from equity method investments, which is reported one quarter in arrears; and (iii) a $0.3 million net loss on sale of investments, fair value changes and impairment on investments, which is excluded under non-GAAP measures. Non-operating income for the second quarter of 2018 included (i) a $20.1 million net interest and other income; (ii) a $16.4 million net loss on sale of investments, fair value changes and impairment on investments, which is excluded under non-GAAP measures; and (iii) a $2.5 million net loss from equity method investments, which is reported one quarter in arrears.

 

Income tax expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $46.7 million, compared to $27.9 million for the same period last year, largely attributable to the deferred tax charges recognized from the fair value changes of investments.

 

Net income attributable to SINA’s ordinary shareholders for the second quarter of 2019 was $51.4 million, compared to $35.1 million for the same period last year. Diluted net income per share attributable to SINA’s ordinary shareholders for the second quarter of 2019 was $0.73, compared to $0.47 for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income attributable to SINA’s ordinary shareholders for the second quarter of 2019 was $54.0 million, compared to $66.5 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to SINA’s ordinary shareholders for the second quarter of 2019 was $0.76, compared to $0.89 for the same period last year.

 

As of June 30, 2019, SINA’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $2.0 billion, compared to $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2018. For the second quarter of 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $128.6 million, capital expenditures totaled $5.0 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to $11.6 million.

 


 

Non-GAAP Measures

 

This release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP net revenues, non-GAAP advertising revenues, non-GAAP non-advertising revenues, non-GAAP advertising and non-advertising gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income attributable to SINA’s ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to SINA’s ordinary shareholders. 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 related to the license granted to Leju, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, adjustment for non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, gain (loss) on sale of investment, deemed disposal, fair value changes and impairment on investment, adjustment for non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items for the income attributable to non-controlling interests, amortization of convertible debt issuance cost, and income tax effects of above non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items. 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, gain/loss 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.”

(1) In 2019, the Company set up few trusts, which were administered by third-party trust company to invest in consumer loans to the individual borrowers recommended by the Company. The trusts are considered as variable interest entities under ASC 810. Accordingly, the financing receivables due from the borrowers and the loan payables to the third party investors of the trust units are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as financing receivables and funding debts, respectively.

 

(2) The Company adopted the new leasing guidance (ASU 2016-2) started from January 1, 2019, which requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. The Company recognized a right-of-use asset and a liability relating to lease payments (the Lease Liability) in the statements of financial position for lease contracts having terms beyond 12 months period.

(d)         To exclude non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, net of share of amortization of intangibles not on their books.

(e)          To exclude (gain) loss on sale of investments, (gain) loss on deemed disposal, fair value changes and impairment on investments, net.

(f)           To exclude non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items for the income attributable to non-controlling interests.

(g)         To exclude the amortization of convertible debt issuance cost.

(h)         To exclude the provision (benefit) for income tax related to item (c) and (e). Other non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items have no income tax effect.**

 

*                 Net income attributable to SINA’s ordinary shareholders is adjusted for diluted shares issued by our subsidiary and equity method investments.

 

**          The Company considered the tax implication arising from the reconciliation items, and those items recorded in entities in tax free jurisdictions were without relevant tax implications. For impairment on investments, valuation allowances were made for those differences the Company does not expect they can be realized in the foreseeable future.
