4  The non-GAAP weighted average number of diluted ADS includes those incremental shares that are dilutive in calculation of the Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per ADS, even if they are anti-dilutive in calculation of the GAAP fully diluted loss per ADS.
5  “Registered user account” means a user account that was registered with us. We calculate registered user accounts for any particular period as the cumulative number of user accounts at the end of the relevant period. Because every time a person activates one of our products after the initial installation, a unique registered user account is generated, and each person can install and activate more than one of our products on his or her smartphone device, each smartphone device could be associated with more than one of our registered user accounts. In addition, each person could have more than one smartphone device with our products installed and activated. Consequently, the number of registered user accounts we present overstates the number of persons who are our registered users.

  •   Average monthly active user accounts6 of consumer mobile security products for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 were 136.0 million, compared with 97.7 million for the corresponding period of 2012 and 133.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

6  “Active user account” means the registered user account that has accessed our services at least once during such relevant period.
7  “Premium user account” means a user account that generates revenues either through direct payment or through indirect payment from third party developers and advertisers. This replaces the concept of “paying user account,” which refers to a user account that has paid or subscribed for our premium consumer mobile security services during the relevant period that we used previously. Average monthly premium user accounts should not be compared with average monthly paying user accounts in earlier periods.

“I am pleased to report that we once again achieved record revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 and for the full year,” commented Dr. Henry Lin, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of NQ Mobile. “The strength of our platform business model has delivered tangible results. Even though our current reported operating metrics do not include many of emerging products and services such as NQ Live, Music Radar and our expanding advertising platform, we are seeing extremely strong user acquisition and engagement. I am very excited about the growth prospects across our consumer and enterprise businesses. We look forward to another record year in 2014.”

“We remain focused on executing the strategy that we have previously laid out,” added Omar Khan, Co-Chief Executive Officer of NQ Mobile, “I am so proud of the NQ Mobile team for their dedication and commitment. The foundation has been set and we are excited for the future as we reach for new heights within the mobile revolution.”

Fourth Quarter 2013 Results

Revenues8

Net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $67.9 million, up 126.0% year-over-year and up 25.2% sequentially.

Mobile Value Added Service revenues, which include Consumer Mobile Security revenues and Mobile Games revenues, increased 35.4% year-over-year and 0.9% sequentially to $27.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in Mobile Value Added Service revenues was primarily due to the growth of Mobile Game revenues and partially offset by the decline of Consumer Mobile Security revenues as we migrate the monetization of security and productivity applications into advertising. The increase in Mobile Games revenues was primarily due to the rapid user growth of FL Mobile’s game platform and the launch of new games in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Advertising revenues were $16.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, up 532.4% year-over-year and 51.5% sequentially. The robust growth was due to increased monetization through advertising and promotional revenue in the form of 3rd party application referrals through our mobile security products, mobile games and our advertising network platforms.

Enterprise Mobility revenues increased 53.1% sequentially to $23.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 due to the strong growth in the enterprise business and new customer gains.

 

8  Due to the expansion of its business and diversification of its revenue streams, since the first quarter of 2013, NQ Mobile classifies its revenues into the below categories: Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) to include Consumer Mobile Security and Mobile Games, Enterprise Mobility, Advertising and Other.

Other revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $0.5 million, down 43.1% sequentially. Other revenues are generated primarily by providing technical contract services to third parties and thus the revenues fluctuate as such since the business is driven by individual projects.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $34.7 million, up 259.1% year-over-year and 58.4% sequentially. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the increased hardware procurement cost for NationSky’s Enterprise Mobility business, amortization of intangible assets resulted from acquisitions, increased revenue sharing with content providers and payment service providers, increased customer acquisition costs to drive user growth, and higher staff costs from increased headcounts and salaries. The sequential increase was primarily due to increased hardware procurement cost for NationSky’s Enterprise Mobility business, increased customer acquisition costs, increased revenue sharing with content providers and payment service providers and higher staff cost.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $33.1 million, up 62.7% year-over-year and 2.7% sequentially. Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, was 48.8% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with 67.8% in the same quarter a year ago and 59.5% in the previous quarter. Excluding the impact from NationSky, gross margin was 63.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with 73.3% in the previous quarter. The decline of the gross margin was mainly due to increased revenue contribution of mobile games and advertising which have lower gross margins than the mobile security subscription business. NationSky’s gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2013 was approximately 20.6%, compared with 24.8% in the previous quarter, and the cost of revenues for NationSky primarily consists of the hardware device procurement cost. The decline of NationSky’s gross margin in this quarter was mainly due to the higher percentage of hardware sale revenues which has lower gross margin.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $37.8 million, up 89.4% year-over-year and 8.1% sequentially. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $20.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, up 63.6% year-over-year and 34.1% sequentially. In this quarter, expenses related to handling short seller allegations were $2.4 million.

Selling and marketing expenses were $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, up 62.5% year-over-year and 18.1% sequentially. Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses9 were $7.5 million, up 79.2% year-over-year and 23.0% sequentially. The GAAP expenses year-over-year increases were primarily due to higher marketing and advertising spending and higher staff costs from headcount and salary increase, partially offset by lower share-based compensation costs. The sequential increase was primarily due to higher marketing and advertising spending and higher staff costs, partially offset by lower share-based compensation costs.

 

9  Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $24.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, up 103.6% year-over-year and down 1.3% sequentially. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses10 were $7.3 million, up 31.9% year-over-year and 29.9% sequentially. The GAAP expenses year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher share-based compensation expenses, higher staff costs, higher office related expenses, higher bad debt expenses and higher legal fees. The sequential increase was primarily due to higher legal and professional fees, higher staff costs and higher bad debt expenses, partially offset by lower share-based compensation expenses.

Research and development expenses were $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, up 78.1% year-over-year and 48.1% sequentially. Non-GAAP research and development expenses11 were $5.7 million, up 102.8% year-over-year and 59.4% sequentially. The GAAP expenses year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher staff cost from salary and headcount increases, higher rental costs, and higher depreciation.

Interest expenses were $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with interest income of $0.9 million in the same quarter a year ago and $0.9 million in the previous quarter. The decrease in interest income was primarily contributed by forfeited interest income of $1.6 million due to early termination of term deposits and the $1.7 million of interest expenses related to the convertible debt issued in the fourth quarter of 2013. The loss from the change in fair value of the embedded call option of the convertible debt was $1.1 million and other income was $1.7 million due to the re-measurement gain of Yinlong investment and government subsidies.

The negative cash flow from operations was mainly the result of prepayment for game content and titles, prepayments for marketing and to our business partners in this quarter as well as a significant pay down of accounts payables to suppliers during the quarter. As of December 31, 2013, the Company resumed its regular cash management and deposits across its operating bank accounts following the extreme measures taken during the quarter including the transferring of approximately $103 million (RMB 628 million) into a branch at Standard Chartered Bank in Beijing as previously announced. The Company has returned most of our cash balances from Standard Chartered Bank to its normal operating accounts at domestic Chinese banks.

Historical accounting overstatement of share based compensation expense

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company identified an accounting overstatement relating to share based compensation expense in the unaudited financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as previously reported in the Company’s quarterly result announcement on Form 6-K dated November 12, 2013. This overstatement resulted from two clerical errors in the calculation of the share-based compensation expense and caused the overstatement of the share based compensation expense in the unaudited financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Therefore, the Company has revised the unaudited financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 to reflect the impact of the correction.

Correction of the overstatement in the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidation statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 resulted in a reduction of $369,624 in the amount reported for general and administrative expenses and correspondingly resulted in a reduction of $369,624 in the amount reported for net loss attributable to NQ Mobile Inc. and a reduction of $0.0013 in the amounts reported for both basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share attributable to NQ Mobile Inc., as compared to the amounts reported in the Company’s previously announced quarterly result on Form 6-K for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Correction of the error in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 resulted in an increase of $369,624 in additional paid-in capital, as compared to the corresponding amounts reported in the Company’s announced quarterly result on Form 6-K.

Business Outlook

The Company expects net revenues to be in the range of $75 million and $76 million for the first quarter of 2014 and raises the full year 2014 net revenue guidance from the previously issued range of $305 million to $310 million to a range of $320 million to $325 million.

The above forecast reflects the Company’s current and preliminary view, which is subject to possible material changes.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Information

The unaudited financial information disclosed in this press release is preliminary. The audit of the financial statements and related notes to be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013 is still in progress. In addition, because an audit of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in connection with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has not yet been completed, the Company makes no representation as to the effectiveness of those internal controls as of the end of fiscal year 2013.

Adjustments to the financial statements may be identified when the audit work is completed, which could result in significant differences between the Company’s audited financial statements and this preliminary unaudited financial information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), NQ Mobile’s management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, income from operations and net income attributable to NQ Mobile, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the handling short seller allegations and interest expenses and fair value changes of the embedded call options of the convertible debt. The Company also uses non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per ADS, which is the non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADS.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help the Company’s investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of the Company’s continuing operations and its prospects for the future. The Company’s non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, the Company’s calculation of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of NQ Mobile’s current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, income from operations and net income attributable to NQ Mobile, excluding share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the handling short seller allegations and interest expenses and fair value changes of the embedded call options of convertible debt, are that these items has been and may continue to be a significant expense in the Company’s business for the foreseeable future. In order to mitigate these limitations the Company has provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables include details on the reconciliation between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has presented.

Notes to Financial Information

Financial information in this press release other than the information indicated as being non-GAAP is derived from NQ Mobile’s unaudited financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
