Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 were US$42.8 million, 19.7% lower than the fourth quarter of 2012. Despite strong box office performance by Bona’s films Out of Inferno and The White Storm, net revenues were lower year-on-year because the Company did not release any TV series in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with sales generated from the Bona TV series, The King’s Battle, in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Net revenues from film investment and production were US$3.3 million, which were mainly derived from the sale of continuous broadcasting rights for several Bona films that were released in the third quarter of 2013 to networks and TV stations.

For the fourth quarter of 2013, gross profit increased to US$16.9 million from US$10.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The year-over-year increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the strong box office performance of Out of Inferno and The White Storm, compared with lower gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2012 that resulted from the higher acceleration of the amortization of production costs based on the economic performance and public acceptance of certain films and the higher impairment of production costs using a discounted cash flow approach, and lower-than-expected box office performance from The Last Tycoon.

Segment margin for the film distribution segment decreased to 32.0% in the fourth quarter of 2013 from 43.4% in the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily due to a lower percentage of print and advertising expenses to be withdrawn from film distribution revenue generated from Bona distributed films, in particular Out of Inferno and The White Storm, in the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

Segment margin from the Company’s investment and production business decreased to (10.8)% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with segment margin of (2.0)% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease in segment margin in this business was a result of the acceleration of the amortization of production costs based on the economic performance and public acceptance of certain films and impairment of production costs using a discounted cash flow approach, and the absence of revenue generated from the investment in TV series in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with the successful sale of the Bona TV series The King’s Battle in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Segment margin from the Company’s movie theater business was 58.5% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with 56.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012, which is in-line with Bona’s expanded theater operations.

Total operating expenses, including participation expenses, general and administrative expenses, and selling and marketing expenses, decreased 10.3% to US$16.9 million from US$18.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in selling and marketing expenses of print and advertising costs associated with the four films theatrically distributed in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with three films and one TV series released in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Fourth quarter 2013 operating margin was 7.8% compared to (10.7)% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The year-over-year improvement in operating margin was primarily due to the strong performance of Out of Inferno and The White Storm, compared with lower-than-expected box office performance of The Last Tycoon in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Net revenues from distribution totaled US$76.6 million in 2013, compared with US$64.1 million in 2012. During 2013, Bona distributed 18 new films domestically. The increase in net revenues from the distribution segment was mainly due to the strong box office performance of the films released in 2013, in particular Unbeatable, My Lucky Star, Out of Inferno, The White Storm, among others.

 

Net revenues from film investment and production were US$41.0 million in 2013, compared with US$73.7 million in 2012. The decrease was mainly due to the absence of revenue generated from investing in TV series in 2013, compared with the successful sale of the Bona TV series The King’s Battle in 2012.

 

Net revenues from the movie theater segment increased to US$61.5 million in 2013, compared with US$41.7 million in 2012. The increase was primarily a result of the increase in the number of theaters and screens from Bona’s strategic expansion efforts.

Segment margin for the distribution segment decreased to 30.1% in the full year 2013 from 39.2% for the full year 2012, primarily due to a lower percentage of print and advertising expenses to be withdrawn from film distribution revenue generated from Bona distributed films in 2013.

 

Segment margin from the Company’s investment and production business improved to 21.1% for the full year 2013, compared with a segment margin of 8.7% for the full year 2012. The improvement in segment margin for this business was mainly due to the higher acceleration of the amortization of production costs based on the economic performance and public acceptance of certain films and the higher impairment of production costs using a discounted cash flow approach, and lower-than-expected box office performance from The Last Tycoon in 2012.

 

Segment margin from the Company’s movie theater business increased to 57.7% for the full year 2013, compared with 56.6% for the full year 2012, which is in-line with Bona’s expanded theater operations.

Total operating expenses, including participation expenses, general and administrative expenses, and selling and marketing expenses, increased 3.4% to US$62.9 million from US$60.8 million for the full year 2012. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses relating to expanding Bona’s movie theater segment, partially offset by a decrease in selling and marketing expenses to promote Bona’s distributed films.

 

Full year 2013 operating margin was 5.8% compared to (0.5)% for the full year 2012. The year-over-year improvement in operating margin was primarily due to the strong performance of the films released in the second half of 2013 and the greenfield theaters gradually maturing in 2013.

Cash and Cash Flow

 

As of December 31, 2013, Bona had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling US$63.4 million, compared with US$28.0 million as of December 31, 2012. Net cash used in operating activities for 2013 was approximately US$21.6 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of US$9.5 million for 2012. The change in cash flow from operations was mainly attributable to the investment in several films released in 2013 or scheduled for release in 2014.

 

 

Business Outlook

 

Based on current market and operating conditions, the Company expects non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2014 to be in the range of US$1.0 million to US$1.5 million.

 

“We have a robust slate of films scheduled for release in 2014, and our business segments are on track to demonstrate progressive growth throughout the year. Our first two film releases, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and The Man From Macau, have kicked-off the year in top form, generating strong box office results, particularly during the Chinese New Year season. We expect the Chinese film industry to generate strong box office returns again in 2014, and believe that Bona’s solid slate of films and vertically integrated business model make us well positioned to capitalize on this growth in the market,” concluded Mr. Yu.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement Bona’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Bona uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to Bona Film Group Limited per ADS, which exclude share-based compensation expenses, and adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, interest, taxes, and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or to be superior to the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Bona’s definition of non-GAAP net income may be different from the definitions used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

Bona believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of its operating performance and a supplemental liquidity measure which is useful for understanding and evaluating the Company’s capacity for servicing its debt, and otherwise meeting its cash needs. Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP, excludes depreciation and amortization, so it does not reflect any cash requirements for the replacement of the assets, which will often have to be replaced in the future. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and liquidity, and when planning and forecasting future periods. The table appears at the end of this press release has more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
