Fourth Quarter 2012 financial results

Advertising net revenue from the LCD display network was $127.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a slight decrease of 1% from $128.4 million for the third quarter of 2012 and a decrease of 7% from $137.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.  The decrease in net revenue was due to a weaker brand advertising environment.

Advertising net revenue from the poster frame network was $85.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 5% from $81.6 million for the third quarter of 2012 and an increase of 33% from $64.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, which was driven by the strength of promotional budget spending in the market.

Advertising net revenue from the in-store network was $11.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 23% from $14.5 million for the third quarter of 2012 and a decrease of 31% from $16.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.  The decrease was mostly attributable to less advertising spending from domestic dairy producers.

Advertising net revenue from the movie theater network was $19.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 15% from $23.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 due to seasonal factors and a decrease of 5% from $20.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.  The decrease in net revenue was mainly due to a weaker brand advertising environment.

Advertising net revenue from the traditional outdoor billboard network was $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 21% from $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2012 and a decrease of 56% from $13.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 due to combination of downsizing of the division and a weaker advertising environment.  Due to medium term advertising spending uncertainties and the continued view of the Company that the traditional outdoor billboard network is not a core business segment, the Company has decided to downsize this business segment by divesting four entities within the segment. Two of which have been divested prior to end of the third quarter of 2012 and the other two were divested in the fourth quarter of 2012. Consequently, $1.2 million of revenues of two divested entities for the fourth quarter of 2012, $4.8 million of revenues of four divested entities for the third quarter of 2012 and $3.8 million of revenues of four divested entities for the fourth quarter of 2011 have been reclassified into "Net loss from discontinued operations" in the consolidated statements of operations.  Other relevant items in the consolidated statements of operations were also reclassified accordingly to reflect the reclassification arising from the discontinued operations of the 4 entities.

Non-GAAP gross profit from the LCD display network for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $98.3 million, representing a decrease of 2% from $99.8 million for the third quarter of 2012 and a decrease of 13% from $113.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.  The decrease in non-GAAP gross profit was a result of quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year revenue declines while the cost of sales remained largely unchanged in the LCD display network

Non-GAAP gross profit from the poster frame network for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $56.9 million, representing an increase of 8% from $52.5 million for the third quarter of 2012, and an increase of 58% from $35.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP gross profit from the in-store network for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $5.8 million, representing a decrease of 36% from $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2012 and a decrease of 55% from $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 mainly due to the combination of a lower revenue and relatively unchanged cost of sales.

Non-GAAP gross profit from the movie theater network for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $10.9 million, representing a decrease of 25% from $14.5 million for the third quarter of 2012 and a decrease of 21% from $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 due to a lower revenue and a larger cost of sales as a result of network expansion.

Non-GAAP gross profit from the traditional outdoor billboard network for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $0.8 million, compared to $1.2 million loss for the third quarter of 2012 and a decrease of 62% from $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. 

Non-GAAP operating expense for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $57.9 million, substantially unchanged from $57.5 million for the third quarter of 2012.   It also represented a decrease of 7% from $62.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Net cash inflow from operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2012 and full year of 2012 were $142.4 million and $358.3 million, respectively, representing an 11% increase from $128.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and a 28% increase from $280.2 million for full year 2011, respectively.

Net cash inflow from investing activities for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $53.3 million.  In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company incurred capital expenditures of $4.8 million.  Meanwhile, the Company received net cash inflows from disposal of short-term investments after deducting the placement of restricted cash totaling $57.3 million during the quarter. Short-term investments are longer term dated cash deposits normally with maturities of between three and twelve months that earn higher interest rate as compared to cash and cash equivalents.  Restricted cash is deposited in bank accounts as security for bank borrowings.

Net cash used for financing activities for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $17.8 million, which consisted of a dividend paid by the Company declared in the third quarter of 2012.

Arrangements Regarding Announced Recurring Shareholder Payments

On January 10, 2012, the Company announced a policy starting from 2012 to issue a recurring dividend with payments expected to equal approximately 25% of the Company's annual non-GAAP net income of the preceding fiscal year and to reserve up to an additional 30% of the Company's annual non-GAAP net income of the preceding fiscal year (starting from 2012 earnings) that can be used, at the discretion of the board of directors, to increase the dividend payment or the size of our share purchase program in effect at that time (the "dividend policy").

The Company announced on November 27, 2012 that its board of directors had resolved to postpone approval of future cash dividends through December 31, 2012 due to ongoing considerations relating to the going private proposal.

Due to the signing on December 19, 2012 of the going private merger agreement, which prohibits the Company from paying any dividends or repurchasing any of its ordinary shares or ADS pending consummation of the merger, the Company's board of directors has resolved to terminate the dividend policy effective December 31, 2012.

Announcement of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to Vote on the Going Private Transaction

The Company announced today that it has called an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders to be held on April 29, 2013 to consider and vote on, among other things, the proposal to authorize and approve the previously announced agreement and plan of merger, dated December 19, 2012, among Giovanna Parent Limited, Giovanna Acquisition Limited and the Company, the plan of merger and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the merger). 

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of December 31, 2012, which was $1 to RMB 6.2855.  Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the fourth quarter of 2012, which was $1 to RMB 6.2926.  Translation adjustments are reported as a component of comprehensive income.

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 earnings per ADR, all excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, loss from equity investment and goodwill impairment.  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 for future periods.  The Company computes its non-GAAP financial measures using a consistent method from quarter to quarter, mostly excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, loss from equity investment and goodwill impairment.  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.
