Business Outlook for Fourth Quarter 2010
Prior to the start of the third quarter of 2010, the core business of the Company consisted of the LCD display network, the movie theatre network, poster frame network and in-store network. The non-core business consisted of the traditional outdoor billboard network, Internet advertising services and the movie theater network. From the third quarter of 2010, the Company re-categorized the movie theater network from non-core business to core business and presented it in the category of LCD display network and other. Following the re-categorization, the core business of the Company consists of the LCD display network and other, poster frame network and In-store network, and the non-core business of the Company consists of the traditional outdoor billboard network only (the Internet advertising services have been sold in the early part of third quarter of 2010) from the third quarter of 2010.
The Company provides the following guidance with respect to the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2010:
Net revenues for the core business (inclusive of the LCD display network and other, the in-store network and the poster frame network) are expected to be in the range of $130 -$132 million, the mid-point of which would represent quarter-on-quarter growth of 2% and year-on-year growth of 30%. Net revenues for the non-core business (the traditional outdoor billboard network) are expected to be in the range of $10 - $11 million. The Company's non-GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of $52-$53 million. The Company estimates the weighted average fully diluted ADS count for the quarter at 142 million, assuming no further share repurchases during the quarter.
The Company incurred cumulative earn-out payments of $25.1 million in the first three quarters of 2010. Based on the existing business outlook, the Company expects earn-out payments remaining in the fourth quarter of 2010, or partially spilled over into the first quarter of 2011, to be no more than $9.9 million and cumulatively no more than $35 million for 2010 versus our previous guidance of $38 million.
Announced Share Repurchase Program
On August 3, 2010, Focus Media announced its intention to increase the size of its previously announced share repurchase program from $200 million to $300 million and to extend the termination date of the repurchase plan to June 2011 from February 2011. As of November 22, 2010, the Company has cumulatively spent $237 million in share repurchases.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of September 30, 2010, which was $1 to RMB 6.7011. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the third quarter of 2010, which was $1 to RMB 6.7803. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income in the statement of equity and comprehensive income (loss).
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to Focus Media's consolidated financial results under GAAP, the Company also provides non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit (cumulatively and by segment), non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating profit (loss), non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP fully-diluted EPS, all excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, loss from disposal of previously acquired subsidiaries and equity affiliates, impairment charges of long-lived assets and goodwill, write-off of receivables from ex-shareholders of disposed business, Impairment and termination charges related to ceasing expansion of digital poster frame networks and boat-based advertising platform charges from expensing IPO expenditures as a result of termination of the IPO process of Allyes and the profit from the disposal of the internet business Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to better assess operating performance of the Company. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with another method for assessing Focus Media's operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations. 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, and should refer to the reconciliation of GAAP results with non-GAAP results in the attached financial information. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of Focus Media and when planning and forecasting future periods. The Company computes its non-GAAP financial measures using a consistent method from quarter to quarter, mostly including Share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, profit or loss from disposal of previously acquired subsidiaries and impairment charges. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation between these financial measures.
