Fourth Quarter 2011 Results

Baidu reported total revenues of RMB4.474 billion ($710.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2011, representing an 82.5% increase from the corresponding period in 2010.

Online marketing revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 were RMB4.467 billion ($709.7 million), representing an 82.3% increase from the corresponding period in 2010. Baidu had about 311,000 active online marketing customers in the fourth quarter of 2011, representing a 12.7% increase from the corresponding period in 2010 and a 2.3% increase from the previous quarter. Revenue per online marketing customer for the fourth quarter 2011 was approximately RMB14,400 ($2,288), a 61.8% increase from the corresponding period in 2010 and a 5.1% increase from the previous quarter.

Traffic acquisition cost (TAC) as a component of cost of revenues was RMB353.8 million ($56.2 million), representing 7.9% of total revenues, as compared to 8.1% in the corresponding period in 2010 and 8.0% in the third quarter of 2011.

Bandwidth costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB192.2 million ($30.5 million), representing 4.3% of total revenues, compared to 4.0% in the corresponding period in 2010. Depreciation costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB214.9 million ($34.1 million), representing 4.8% of total revenues, compared to 4.0% in the corresponding period in 2010. These increases were mainly due to an increase in network infrastructure capacity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB522.4 million ($83.0 million), representing an increase of 66.8% from the corresponding period in 2010, mainly due to an increase in personnel-related expenses and marketing expenses.

Research and development expenses were RMB413.8 million ($65.7 million), a 78.4% increase from the corresponding period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of research and development personnel.


Share-based compensation expenses, which were allocated to related operating cost and expense line items, were RMB46.6 million ($7.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to RMB39.4 million in the previous quarter and RMB28.2 million in the corresponding period in 2010.

Income tax expense was RMB404.5 million ($64.3 million), compared to an income tax expense of RMB159.6 million in the corresponding period in 2010. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2011 was 16.5% as compared to 12.1% for the corresponding period in 2010. The year-on-year increase in the effective tax rate was due to the expiration of preferential tax treatments for some of Baidu’s PRC subsidiaries.

Net income attributable to Baidu was RMB2.054 billion ($326.3 million), representing a 76.9% increase from the corresponding period in 2010. Basic and diluted earnings attributable to Baidu per ADS for the fourth quarter of 2011 amounted to RMB5.88 ($0.93) and RMB5.87 ($0.93), respectively.

Fiscal Year 2011 Results

Total revenues in 2011 were RMB14.501 billion ($2.304 billion), representing an 83.2% increase from 2010.


Online marketing revenues in 2011 were RMB14.490 billion ($2.302 billion), representing an 83.1% increase from 2010. The growth was driven by increases in both the number of active online marketing customers and revenue per customer. Baidu had about 488,000 active online marketing customers in 2011, representing an 18.4% increase from 2010. Revenue per online marketing customer for 2011 was RMB29,700 ($4,719), an increase of 54.7% from 2010.

Traffic acquisition costs in 2011 were RMB1.156 billion ($183.6 million), representing 8.0% of total revenues, compared to 9.6% in 2010. The decrease in TAC as a percentage of total revenues reflects the continued impact of the Company’s traffic optimization efforts from previous years.

Bandwidth costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB626.4 million ($99.5 million), representing 4.3% of total revenues, compared to 3.9% in 2010. Depreciation costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB657.8 million ($104.5 million), representing 4.5% of total revenues, compared to 4.2% in 2010. These increases were mainly due to an increase in network infrastructure capacity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2011 were RMB1.693 billion ($269.0 million), representing an increase of 55.4% from the previous year, mainly due to an increase in personnel-related expenses and marketing expenses.

Research and development expenses totaled RMB1.334 billion ($212.0 million) in 2011, representing an 85.8% increase from 2010, primarily due to an increase in the number of research and development personnel.

Share-based compensation expenses, which were allocated to related operating cost and expense line items, were RMB152.0 million ($24.2 million) in 2011, compared to RMB93.7 million in 2010.

Operating profit in 2011 was RMB7.577 billion ($1.204 billion), a 91.4% increase from 2010. Operating profit excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) in 2011 was RMB7.729 billion ($1.228 billion), representing a 90.7% increase from 2010.

Loss from equity method accounting in 2011 was RMB179.4 million ($28.5 million), representing an increase of RMB170.4 million ($27.1 million) compared to 2010. This increase was mainly attributable to Baidu’s cash investment in iQiyi.

Income tax expense was RMB1.189 billion ($188.9 million), compared to an income tax expense of RMB536.0 million in 2010. The effective tax rate for 2011 was 15.2% as compared to 13.2% in 2010. The year-on-year increase in the effective tax rate was mainly due to the expiration of preferential tax treatments for some of Baidu’s PRC subsidiaries.


Net income attributable to Baidu in 2011 was RMB6.639 billion ($1.055 billion), representing an 88.3% increase from 2010. Basic and diluted earnings attributable to Baidu per ADS for 2011 amounted to RMB19.03 ($3.02) and RMB18.99 ($3.02), respectively.

Basic and diluted earnings attributed to Baidu per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) in 2011 were RMB19.46 ($3.09) and RMB19.42 ($3.09), respectively.

Full year net operating cash inflow and capital expenditures were RMB 8.179 billion ($1.299 billion) and RMB1.762 billion ($280.0 million), respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB 8.614 billion ($1.369 billion) in 2011, representing a 91.4% increase from 2010.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Baidu’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Baidu uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: adjusted EBITDA, operating profit excluding share-based compensation expenses, net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures” and “Reconciliation from net cash provided by operating activities to adjusted EBITDA” set forth at the end of this release.

Baidu believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses, particularly share-based compensation expenses, that may not be indicative of its operating We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Baidu’s historical performance and liquidity. Baidu has computed its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter since April 1, 2006. Baidu believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charge that has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our results of operations. A limitation of using non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is that it does not include all items that impact our net income for the period. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
