2Q15 Adjusted EBITDA Up 13.2% YOY to RMB149.4 Million

Live Conference Call to be Held at 8:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time, August 26, 2015

BEIJING, Aug. 26, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 21Vianet Group, Inc. VNET ("21Vianet" or the "Company"), a leading carrier-neutral internet data center services provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2015. The Company will hold a conference call at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 26, 2015. Dial-in details are provided at the end of the release.

Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights

  • Net revenues increased by 31.7% to RMB866.8 million (US$139.8 million) from RMB658.0 million in the comparative period in 2014.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 increased by 13.2% to RMB149.4 million (US$24.1 million) from RMB132.0 million in the comparative period in 2014.

Mr. Josh Chen, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "During the second quarter, we further executed on our strategy with steady growth in our core internet data center ("IDC") and CDN businesses. For our IDC businesses, demand remains strong as we had another quarter of increasing cabinet sales. Following a seasonally soft first quarter, our CDN business also started to recover and is expected to further improve in the second half of 2015. However, this quarter also brought with it some challenges, including delays in new cabinet builds, continued headwinds in bandwidth prices and incremental costs due to organizational transitions. As we further optimize our operations, strengthen our organization and continue to invest in core growth opportunities, we are confident in our ability to address these challenges and re-accelerate our growth organically and profitably."

Mr. Terry Wang, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, "We finished another quarter of steady growth, with net revenues growing by 31.7% year over year and adjusted EBITDA growing by 13.2% year over year. We further improved our data center utilization rate to 67.5% from 65.0%, while maintaining our low hosting churn rate of 0.37%. In addition, our days-sales-outstanding ("DSO") also further improved to 77 days in the second quarter of 2015. However, we also recognize that our operating results this quarter were softer than expected in a few areas, and we are actively working with our operations team to address these issues. As we fine-tune our cost structure and become more disciplined in our capital investment programs in a market that is increasingly sophisticated and value-driven, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on our strategy as a leading internet infrastructure services provider."

Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

REVENUES: Net revenues for the second quarter of 2015 increased by 31.7% to RMB866.8 million (US$139.8 million) from RMB658.0 million in the comparative period in 2014.

Net revenues from hosting and related services increased by 37.9% to RMB643.7 million (US$103.8 million) in the second quarter of 2015 from RMB466.9 million in the comparative period in 2014, primarily due to contributions from acquisitions, an increase in the total number of cabinets under management, as well as a year-over-year increase in demand for the Company's cloud and CDN services, partially offset by the transition to a Value Added Tax ("VAT") system. Net revenues from managed network services increased by 16.7% to RMB223.1 million (US$36.0 million) in the second quarter of 2015 from RMB191.1 million in the comparative period in 2014 primarily driven by the contributions from acquisitions, which was partially offset by industry-wide decline in bandwidth prices and the transition to a VAT system.

GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 increased by 12.9% to RMB204.0 million (US$32.9 million) from RMB180.6 million in the comparative period in 2014. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2015 was 23.5%, compared with 27.4% in the comparative period in 2014. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to continued softness in MNS business and higher spending in telecom and electricity costs.

Adjusted gross profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions, increased by 24.2% to RMB245.7 million (US$39.6 million) from RMB197.9 million in the comparative period in 2014. Adjusted gross margin was 28.3% in the second quarter of 2015, compared with 30.1% in the comparative period in 2014.

OPERATING EXPENSES: Total operating expenses increased to RMB293.6 million (US$47.4 million) from RMB156.7 million in the comparative period in 2014. Adjusted operating expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses and the changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable, increased to RMB209.5 million (US$33.8 million) from RMB132.9 million in the comparative period in 2014. As a percentage of net revenue, adjusted operating expenses were 24.2%, compared with 20.2% in the comparative period in 2014 and 24.3% in the first quarter of 2015.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 32.7% to RMB78.0 million (US$12.6 million) from RMB58.8 million in the comparative period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in the number of the sales and service personnel in the Company's overall business and acquisitions of businesses with higher sales and marketing expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by 160.9% to RMB166.9 million (US$26.9 million) from RMB64.0 million in the comparative period in 2014, primarily due to increased headcount associated with the growth in the Company's overall business, acquisitions with higher general and administrative expenses and incremental expenses due to organizational transitions.

Research and development expenses increased by 27.6% to RMB32.1 million (US$5.2 million) from RMB25.1 million in the comparative period in 2014, which reflected the Company's efforts to further strengthen its research and development capabilities and expand its cloud computing and CDN service offerings.

Change in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable was a loss of RMB16.4 million (US$2.7 million) in the second quarter of 2015, compared with a loss of RMB8.8 million in the comparative period in 2014.

ADJUSTED EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 increased by 13.2% to RMB149.4 million (US$24.1 million) from RMB132.0 million in the comparative period in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 17.2% compared with 20.1% in the comparative period in 2014 and 19.4% in the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2015 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB69.8 million (US$11.3 million) and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable of RMB16.6 million (US$2.7 million).

NET PROFIT/LOSS: Net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was RMB141.8 million (US$22.9 million), compared with a net loss of RMB59.5 million in the comparative period in 2014.

Adjusted net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was RMB16.0 million (US$2.6 million) compared with an adjusted net profit of RMB23.2 million in the comparative period in 2014. Adjusted net loss in the second quarter of 2015 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB69.8 million (US$11.3 million), amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions of RMB39.4 million (US$6.4 million), changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable of RMB16.6 million (US$2.7 million) in the aggregate. Adjusted net margin was negative 1.8%, compared with positive 3.5% in the comparative period in 2014 and positive 2.2% in the first quarter of 2015.

EARNING/LOSS PER SHARE: Diluted loss per ordinary share for the second quarter of 2015 was RMB0.28, which represents the equivalent of RMB1.68 (US$0.27) per American Depositary Share ("ADS"). Each ADS represents six ordinary shares. Adjusted diluted loss per share for the second quarter of 2015 was RMB0.02, which represents the equivalent of RMB0.12 (US$0.02) per ADS. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net profit as discussed above divided by the weighted average number of shares.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had a total of 519.7 million ordinary shares outstanding, or the equivalent of 86.6 million ADSs.

BALANCE SHEET: As of June 30, 2015, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment were RMB2.91 billion (US$469.6 million).
