Company Announces Adoption of Semi-Annual Financial Results and Conference Call Schedule

BEIJING, May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- China TechFaith Wireless Communication Limited (NASDAQ: CNTF), today announced the adoption of a semi-annual financial results and conference call schedule. Under the schedule, the Company expects to report its unaudited financial results for the first half of 2016 and hold an update conference call with investors and analysts in August 2016, and approximately every six months after that to report its semi-annual financial results. The Company remains committed to continued compliance with all applicable United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") filing requirements and The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC's listing requirements, including the filing with the SEC a Form 6-K that includes an interim balance sheet as of the end of the Company's second fiscal quarter and a semi-annual income statement for the first two quarters and the filing of the Company's annual report on Form 20-F with the SEC. The Company also announced that, it achieved total net revenues of approximately US$10.0 million for the first quarter of 2016, in line with its guidance of US$8.0 million to US$10.0 million. 

Miss Ouyang Yuping, Chief Financial Officer of TechFaith said: "After careful discussion with our Board of Directors, legal and auditing teams, it was determined that a semi-annual financial reporting schedule would better reflect the Company's business trends. We have made considerable progress in our business execution over the last few quarters and are on-track to realize value in our real estate portfolio. By moving to a semi-annual financial reporting schedule, we expect to provide more meaningful updates on our business progress and results for financial professionals and investors to evaluate our financial performance and prospects."

Mr. Deyou Dong, CEO of TechFaith, said: "We remain committed to full transparency and open communications with our shareholders, as evidenced by the corporate update slides we recently published on our investor relations website. After a full review, we believe that the reporting process had become more of a distraction and added less value to investors and financial professionals than it did when our business was operating at a much higher quarterly revenue run rate. We are focused on the execution of our business strategy and welcome investors to tour our properties when they are in China. We are pleased that we continued the growth momentum in the first quarter of 2016 with increased revenue from our mobile phone business. This reflects the demand for our tailor made ruggedized smart devices in both retail and enterprise sectors. We are encouraged by the results and will seek to capture additional opportunities both in China and key international markets."
