Second Quarter 2016 Results 

 

Total net revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were US$14.4 million, representing a 38.5% increase from the corresponding period in 2015.

 

Advertising and IVAS net revenues were US$7.6 million, representing a 14.6% decrease from the corresponding period of 2015. Advertising revenues were US$0.8 million for the second quarter of 2016, a 78.7% decrease from the corresponding period of 2015. The decrease was due to increasing competition and the continuing migration of our traffic to mobile. Internet Value-Added Services (IVAS) revenues were US$6.8 million, representing a 34.7% increase from the corresponding period in 2015. The increase was mainly due to the revenue from woxiu and the new Renren mobile live streaming revenue started this quarter. Monthly unique log-in users decreased from approximately 45 million in June 2015 to approximately 35 million in June 2016.

 

Financing income was US$6.8 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to US$1.5 million in the corresponding period of 2015. The increase was in line with the increase of financing receivable from US$62.4 million as of June 30, 2015 to US$207.2 million as of June 30, 2016.

 

 

Cost of revenues was US$13.1 million, a 75.4% increase from the corresponding period of 2015.

 

Operating expenses were US$20.1 million, a 28.7% decrease from the corresponding period of 2015.

 

Selling and marketing expenses were US$5.2 million, a 40.5% decrease from the corresponding period of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advertising expenses, headcount reductions, and a decrease in personnel related expense.  

 

Research and development expenses were US$4.6 million, a 46.5% decrease from the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to headcount reductions and a decrease in personnel related expense.

 

General and administrative expenses were US$10.2 million, a 4.9% decrease from the corresponding period in 2015.

 

Share-based compensation expenses, which were all included in operating expenses, were US$5.5 million, compared to US$6.2 million in the corresponding period in 2015.

 

Operating loss was US$18.8 million, compared to an operating loss of US$25.3 million in the corresponding period in 2015.

 

Realized gain on short-term investments was US$0.7 million, compared to a loss of US$48.8 million in the corresponding period in 2015.

 

Earnings in equity method investments were US$1.4 million, compared to earnings of US$3.3 million in the corresponding period in 2015.

 

Net loss attributable to the Company was US$46.1 million, compared to a net loss of US$70.3 million in the corresponding period in 2015.

 

Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) was US$40.6 million, compared to an adjusted net loss of US$64.3 million in the corresponding period in 2015. Adjusted net loss is defined as loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets.

  

Business Outlook

 

The Company expects to generate revenues in an amount ranging from US$17.5 million to US$19.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, representing a 98.4% to 121.1% year-over-year increase, driven by the new Renren mobile live streaming and financing business. This forecast reflects Renren's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement Renren's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Renren uses "adjusted net income (loss)" which is defined as "a non-GAAP financial measure" by the SEC, in evaluating its business. We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets. We present adjusted net income (loss) because it is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance. We also believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as our management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of our peer companies.

 

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures" at the end of this release.
