The year-on-year increase was primarily due to the significant increase in overall revenues, and was partially offset by an increase in sales tax and surcharges, an increase in short-message-service fees and an increase in data acquisition cost as a result of an increase in flight search queries.
Product development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 were RMB107.9 million (US$17.8 million), an increase of 99.6% year-on-year and 19.0% quarter-on-quarter, primarily due to an increase in salary, welfare and other headcount-related expenses associated with the growth of the product development team.

Sales and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 were RMB133.8 million (US$22.1 million), an increase of 114.8% year-on-year and 23.8% quarter-on-quarter, primarily due to increases in online marketing expenses and the number of sales and marketing personnel.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Qunar's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United Statements Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Qunar also uses Adjusted net income/(loss) and Adjusted EBITDA as additional non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures enable management to assess the Company's operating results without considering the impact of noncash charges, including share-based payments, depreciation and amortization, expenses relating to free user traffic contributed by Baidu, Inc. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures eliminate the impact of items that Qunar does not consider indicative of the performance of its business.
Qunar presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate its operating performance, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions on capital allocation. Qunar also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating performance and consolidated results of operations in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of its peer companies. 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. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP financial measures do not include all items that impact the Company's results of operations for the period. The table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Measures" has more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures.
