"In our first fiscal year as a publicly listed company, we delivered record revenues and net income with each of our business units performing above expectations," said Mr. He Dang, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Charm. "Throughout the year, advertising, especially TV advertising, remained the most valuable factor behind brand building in China. In the fourth quarter, we experienced particularly strong demand from traditional TV advertisers, which benefited our TV agency business and resulted in higher than expected sales from our media business. Our digital media agency business, Charm Interactive, also continued to grow with five new accounts in the fourth quarter, and total digital advertising spending in the fourth quarter was 2.5 times greater than the third quarter.
"In November, we succeeded in contracting more sales than any other agency at the annual CCTV auction, which is seen as a barometer for the advertising industry's growth prospects for the year to come. This underscores the confidence our clients have in their 2011 advertising budgets and reiterates their leadership positions within their respective fields."
Mr. Dang continued, "The closing of the CCTV auction, along with the renewal of several key media contracts in the fourth quarter, has provided us with strong visibility for the full year 2011. We also won new media contracts during the quarter, including the exclusive right to operate digital media advertising on Beijing Gehua Cable's interactive HDTV platform, a rapidly growing new media space in which we hope to play a central role. As we move into 2011, we are confident Charm is well positioned to capitalize on its existing strengths in traditional advertising and strategic initiatives in internet and new media to maintain its leadership position in China's dynamic advertising market."
Mr. Wei Zhou, Charm's Chief Financial Officer, added, "We continued to capture higher market share in China's advertising market in 2010. Total customer advertising spending placed through or with Charm increased 70% from US$375 million in 2009 to US$637 million in 2010."
Mr. Zhou continued, "Looking ahead to 2011, we see above-market growth and increasing market share with first half investments in all three of our business units and the Vizeum China joint-venture, and expect to deliver progressively stronger results throughout the year. For Charm Advertising, we will invest in media buying infrastructure and advertising professionals to expand our coverage in non-CCTV media. For Shangxing Media, we will need a few quarters to ramp up the sales operations and build up the local sales team for the Hubei Provincial Economic TV channel, as we have just started our first year of operations there. Charm Interactive and Vizeum China will continue to make key hires to ensure they have the service capabilities to capture the growing demands from existing and new advertisers. We expect to continue making strategic investments in the future in order to build up our business and consistently deliver positive results to our shareholders."

The Company uses turnover (non-GAAP), defined as total customer advertising spending placed through or with Charm, to reflect the scale of its business.
The 68.3% year-over-year increase in total turnover was mainly due to the increase in the number of advertising clients and the increase in advertising spending from existing clients. The 36.7% quarter-over-quarter increase in turnover was largely because of strong CCTV placement demands from clients due to seasonal factors.
The 61.9% year-over-year increase in advertising agency business, or agency business, turnover was mainly due to the increase in the number of new agency clients and the increase in advertising spending from existing agency clients. The 45.5% quarter-over-quarter increase in turnover was mainly due to strong CCTV placement demands from clients as a result of seasonal factors in the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2010, Charm provided advertising agency services to 135 advertising client accounts, 7 of which were acquired in the fourth quarter of 2010. The revenue extraction rate, which is defined as revenue divided by turnover, for the agency business was 5.1%, compared to 5.4% for the fourth quarter of 2009 and 6.1% for the third quarter of 2010. The lower revenue extraction rate was mainly due to the fact that clients increased media placement on CCTV, which has a lower revenue extraction rate relative to non-CCTV media, in the fourth quarter of 2010. Charm expects the revenue extraction rate to increase as the Company expands its full service offerings across all media platforms under Charm Advertising and ramps up digital media offerings under Charm Interactive.
The 93.1% year-over-year increase in media investment management business, or principal media business which operates under the Shangxing Media brand, turnover (equivalent to GAAP revenue) was mainly due to the increase in satellite TV revenues as a result of price increases and the addition of exclusive CCTV programs. Compared with the third quarter of 2010, the 14.3% increase was mainly due to the seasonality of satellite TV revenues. For the fourth quarter of 2010, Charm had 266 advertisers for its principal media business, compared with 186 advertisers for the fourth quarter of 2009.

The increases in agency and principal media business revenues are consistent with the increases in turnover, while the increases in branding and identity services were primarily due to greater client demand for creative services as they increased their overall media spending in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The 63.3% increase in selling and marketing expenses compared with the fourth quarter of 2009 was primarily due to increased headcount at Charm Interactive. Selling and marketing expenses represented 9.7% of the Company's total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to 11.0% for the fourth quarter of 2009 and 11.9% for the third quarter of 2010.
The 44.4% year-over-year increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to professional expenses incurred after the Company became a listed company. The 51.4% sequential increase was primarily due to more professional expenses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
To supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presented in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company also provides the following non-GAAP financial measures: "turnover," which is defined as total customer advertising spending placed through or with Charm, and "non-GAAP net income," which is defined as GAAP net income excluding stock-based compensation expenses and impairment on investments.
The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's current and past financial performance in ongoing core operations as well as prospects for the future. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating the Company's business internally and therefore deems it important to provide all of this information to investors.
Cautions on Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to Charm's consolidated financial results prepared under US GAAP, the Company also provides non-GAAP financial measures, including "turnover" and "non-GAAP net income." The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with another method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations.
Management believes investors will benefit from greater transparency in referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, management recognizes that:
- these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered only as a supplement to the Company's GAAP financial measures;
- these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP financial measures;
- these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be superior to the Company's GAAP financial measures; and
- these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with GAAP and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a comprehensive set of rules or principles.
Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. As such, this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the Company's results to the results of other companies. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies.
A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or measures appears at the end of this press release.
