Dr. Jianyu Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Concord Medical, commented, "The year of 2015 was crucial for the Company's strategic transformation. During the last year, we had laid a solid foundation for continuous sustainable and stable development by acquiring Concord Cancer Hospital in Singapore, optimizing its operative segments and medical processes through working closely with our strategic partner, MD Anderson Cancer Center ("MDACC"). In 2016, well prepared to receive a large number of high-end patients from mainland China, Concord Cancer Hospital will provide world-class integrated cancer treatment, including the utilization of the advanced immunotherapy and targeted drugs, to our high-end patients. The comprehensive cooperation between Concord Cancer Hospital and MDACC will satisfy the needs of Chinese patients for the highest level of medical expertise.

Since 2012, Chinese government has published a series of policies to facilitate medical reform by encouraging social capital to invest in the medical industry and form a diversified industrial landscape. Accordingly, we have been undertaking our strategic transformation since 2013 by transforming the cooperative centers with public hospitals into self-owned centers, taking advantage of our talent pool and years of experience to build our own brand, Meizhong Jiahe Cancer Center. We plan to build the Meizhong Jiahe brand into the largest radiotherapy chain throughout the country, providing high quality medical services featuring imaging diagnosis and radiotherapy. Meanwhile, we will establish a sophisticated quality control system to improve the cure rate of radiotherapy and the life quality of patients. Datong Meizhong Jiahe Cancer Center will launch its grand opening and start to treat patients at the end of April 2016. It will become our first free-standing center in the Concord Medical network and set a milestone for the Company's strategic transformation.

In order to fully reflect our asset value, we announced the listing of our subsidiary, Meizhong Jiahe Hospital Management Corp. Ltd. ("Meizhong Jiahe" or "MHM") on the New Third Board in China in the second half of last year, and officially received approval to become a listed company on the New Third Board the over-the-counter (OTC) stock exchange in China, in January 2016. In the first quarter of 2016, Meizhong Jiahe announced to undertake asset restructuring and to launch a private placement. The funds raised in such private placement will be used for its acquisition and construction of cancer centers.

Cancer is now a major challenge to the health of the Chinese people. According to the report released by the National Cancer Center, new cancer patients in China reached 4.29 million in 2015 with 2.8 million deaths from cancer. As a member of the healthcare and medical industry, we have felt the responsibility to make a contribution to the fight against cancer in China.

Healthcare and medical industry will become a real "sunrise industry" in China. We intend to capitalize on this growing opportunity and take full advantage of favorable government policies. Providing the advanced treatment technology and medical process, as well as the humanistic care, we will contribute to the improvement of overall cancer treatment and diagnosis in China, while also generating long term, stable returns for our shareholders at the same time."

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Concord Medical uses certain non-GAAP measures. The Company presents certain of its financial information that is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, bad debt provision and asset impairment. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense from its GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company's core operating results, as such expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and do not impact its current cash earnings. Concord Medical also believes these non-GAAP measures excluding share-based compensation expense, bad debt provision and asset impairment are important in helping investors to understand the Company's current financial performance and future prospects and to compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. In addition, Concord Medical also presents the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined in this announcement as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expenses and other adjustments. Other adjustments include foreign exchange gain (loss), loss from disposal of property, plant and equipment, loss on extinguishment, changes in fair value of derivatives and other income or expense. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of items that the Company does not consider to be indicative of the performance of the network business and hospital business. The Company believes investors will similarly use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the key metrics to evaluate its financial performance and to compare its current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with other companies in the healthcare services industry. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial information.
