Business Outlook

 

We expect our software & solution revenues to grow 20-25% in 2012 and our platform & maintenance services revenue to decline about 10%. The gross margin of the software & solution also is anticipated to decline to 43% while the non-GAAP operating margin will be maintained at the level of 13.0%, mostly due to the fact that wage inflation pressure remains high for 2012.

 

For the quarter ending March 31, 2012, Yucheng expects net revenue (non-GAAP) to be approximately US$14.5 million and net income (non-GAAP) per share of US$0.01.

 

For the full year of 2012, Yucheng expects net revenue (non-GAAP) to be approximately US$90.0-92.0 million and net income (non-GAAP) per share of US$0.50.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP Measures

 

This earnings release presents the following "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined by applicable U.S. securities regulations. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional information to help both management and investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent and more meaningful basis and enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and prospects for the future.  These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all items of income and expenses that impact the Company's operations.  Management compensates for these limitations by also considering the Company's GAAP results.  The non-GAAP financial measures the Company uses are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered an alternative to measurements required by GAAP and should not be considered measures of the Company's liquidity.  Pursuant to relevant regulatory requirements, we are providing the following reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.  

 

(1) Net revenue (non-GAAP)

 

Yucheng's net revenue (non-GAAP) represents total revenue net of third party hardware and software costs that are passed through to our customers. We believe total revenues net of third party hardware and software costs more accurately reflects our core business, which is the provision of software solutions and services, and provides transparency to our investors. It is also the same measure used by our management to evaluate the competitiveness and development of our business.

(2) Gross margin of net revenue (non-GAAP)

Gross margin of net revenues (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing gross profit by net revenue (non-GAAP). We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. Management uses the gross margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) measure to gain a better understanding of the Company's comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis of planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP gross margin and other GAAP financial metrics, provides useful information to investors by offering: a) the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's on-going operating results; b) the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying business and perform related trend analysis; c) a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business; and d) an easier way to compare the Company's most recent results of operations against investor and analyst financial models.

(3) Operating expenses (non-GAAP)

 

Operating expenses (non-GAAP) excludes stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets related to previous acquisitions. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses and income that may not be indicative of our operating performance. Management uses the operating expenses (non-GAAP) measure to gain a better understanding of the Company's comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis of planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP operating expenses and other GAAP financial metrics, provides useful information to investors by offering: a) the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's on-going operating results; b) the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying business and perform related trend analysis; c) a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business; and d) an easier way to compare the Company's most recent results of operations against investor and analyst financial models.

(7) Net income (non-GAAP) per diluted share

 

Net income (non-GAAP) per diluted share is calculated by dividing net income (non-GAAP) (which as discussed above excludes stock-based compensation expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets) by the same number of weighted average shares outstanding used in the computation of net income per diluted share. Management believes that net income (non-GAAP) per diluted share, when used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP net income per diluted share, provides useful information to investors for the same reasons discussed above regarding net income (non-GAAP). In addition, net income (non-GAAP) per diluted share allows investors to evaluate the Company's operating performance from period to period on a per share basis, thus providing a useful basis for assessing the Company's value on a per share basis.
