Second Quarter 2013 Results

 

Revenues

 

Revenues were $151.7 million, representing an increase of 108% from $72.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 and an increase of 38% from $109.9 million in the first quarter of 2013. The solid year-over-year and sequential increases in revenues were due to strong performance in both online advertising and Internet value-added services, driven by continued robust user and traffic growth and contribution from performance based advertising on Personal Startup Page. In addition, better than expected ramp in search and mobile monetization provided incremental growth drivers.

 

Online advertising revenues were $90.6 million, representing an increase of 78% from the same period last year and 43% from the prior quarter. The solid year-over-year increase was primarily driven by increased monetization of user activities on 360 Personalized Start-up Pages. The robust quarter-over-quarter growth was in part driven by a strong ramp-up in search monetization.

 

Internet value-added service revenues, which are mainly derived from game platform operations, were $60.9 million, representing an increase of 181% from the same period last year and 33% from the prior quarter. The robust year-over-year growth was driven in part by strong momentum in mobile games, although seasonal softness in Web game operations limited the upside in sequential growth.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues was $17.8 million, compared with $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $13.9 million in the prior quarter, representing increases of 169% and 28%, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses were $97.2 million, compared with $56.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $89.2 million in the first quarter of 2013. Operating expenses excluding share-based compensation (non-GAAP) were $79.3 million, compared with $42.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $77.2 million in the prior quarter.

 

The year-over-year increases in non-GAAP operating expenses were mainly driven by increased marketing expenses, personnel-related costs, and bandwidth and equipment depreciation expenses, as the Company continued to enhance its technology and product development capabilities, and strengthen its brand in mobile Internet and search. The modest sequential increases in non-GAAP operating expenses were mainly due to increases in personnel-related costs, partially offset by lower marketing expenses.

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income was $36.6 million, compared with $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $6.8 million in the prior quarter.

 

 
 

 

Operating income excluding share-based compensation (non-GAAP) was $54.5 million, compared with $23.6 million in the second quarter 2012 and $18.8 million in the prior quarter.

 

Operating margin was 24.1%, compared with 13.6% in the second quarter of 2012 and 6.2% in the prior quarter.

 

Operating margin excluding share-based compensation (non-GAAP) was 36.0%, compared with 32.4% in the second quarter of 2012 and 17.1% in the prior quarter.

 

The year-over-year and sequential increases in non-GAAP operating margin were mainly due to leverage from strong revenue growth while the Company continues to invest in new product and business initiatives.

 

Net Income attributable to Qihoo 360

 

Net income attributable to Qihoo 360 was $33.0 million, compared with $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $5.6 million in the prior quarter.

 

Net income attributable to Qihoo 360 excluding share-based compensation (non-GAAP) was $51.0 million, compared with $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $17.5 million in the prior quarter.

 

Net Margin

 

Net margin was 21.8%, compared with 9.6% in the same period last year, and 5.1% in the prior quarter.

 

Net margin excluding share-based compensation (non-GAAP) was 33.6%, compared with 28.4% in the same period last year and 15.9% in the prior quarter.

 

The year-over-year and sequential increases in non-GAAP net margin were also mainly due to leverage from strong revenue.

 

Diluted Earnings per ADS (“EPADS”)

 

Diluted EPADS for the second quarter of 2013 were $0.26, and diluted EPADS for the second quarter of 2013 excluding share-based compensation (non-GAAP) were $0.40. Both GAAP and non-GAAP weighted average ADSs used in computing diluted EPADS were 127.6 million.

 

Cash Flows and Cash Balance

 

Net cash provided by operations in the second quarter of 2013 was $86.4 million, compared to $18.1 million in the same period last year and net cash outflow from operations of $27.9 million in the prior quarter. Cash capital expenditures were $13.4 million. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $378.0 million.

 

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measure, which is adjusted from results based on U.S. GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expenses. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are set forth in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details on the non-GAAP financial measures.

 

 
 

 

Our non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help our 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 our continuing operations and our prospects for the future. Our non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
