(Nasdaq:EFUT) (the "Company" or "eFuture"), a leading provider of software and mobile social shopping network services to China's rapidly growing retail and consumer goods industries, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

  • Gross profit decreased 23% year-over-year to RMB10.7 million (US$1.7 million).
  • Adjusted EBITDA was negative RMB4.1 million (US$0.7 million), compared to an adjusted EBITDA of negative RMB3.4 million in the second quarter 2013.
  • Operating loss was RMB5.9 million, compared to an operating loss of RMB5.2 million in the second quarter 2013.

Chairman's Message

Mr. Adam Yan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of eFuture, commented, "Driven by myStore, a mobile shopping social network connecting physical stores with social local mobile and personalized (SoLoMoMe) consumers, our 2014 strategy is to create a true omni-channel model to help retailers in accelerating the inevitable transition to mobile internet.

"As the traditional department stores and groceries face great pressures from the explosive increase in e-commerce, many chose to delay opening new stores or even reduce the current number of stores. This had an immediate negative impact on our traditional software license revenue. However, we also were able to identify many new opportunities in the e-commerce and logistics industries. New wins in e-commerce and logistics industries were relatively larger and more complicated with longer implementation cycles. Therefore, revenue will be recognized more slowly than has historically been the case. As a result backlog increased 34.8% year-over-year, valued at RMB178 million (US$29 million) as of June 30, 2014.

"At July 31, 2014, myStore had approximately 800,000 registered users, compared with 630,000 registered users at April 30, 2014.  Our chain retailer customers currently are in trial period and only using myStore services in a limited number of their stores.   The user base is expected to increase once those retailers successfully complete the trial period and include all their stores in myStore in the second half-year.

"It is now becoming clear that online shopping is not the physical retail's predator, but only a branch of its omni-channels, as is mobile shopping and social shopping.   Traditional physical retailers and pure online retailers are accelerating their transition from a single channel to omni-channels to better serve their SoLoMoMe customers. We have initiated a pilot omni-channel project with one of our top chain retailers in the second quarter. After the trial period, they expect to do a roll out to all stores across China."

SECOND QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue

Total revenue for the second quarter 2014 decreased 31% to RMB31.0 million (US$5.0million) from RMB45.1 million in the second quarter 2013.

Revenue Breakdown

Service fee income 19,862 21,818 3,517 10%

Software license revenue for the second quarter 2014 decreased 39% year-over-year to RMB7.8 million (US$1.3 million) from RMB12.9 million in the second quarter 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased software license sales as a result of the delayed new stores openings of our customers.

Hardware revenue in the second quarter 2014 decreased 89% year-over-year to RMB1.3 million (US$0.2 million) from RMB 12.3 million in the second quarter 2013. The decrease was a result of the completion of a few one-off large projects in the logistics and grocery industries which occurred in the second quarter 2013.

Service fee income for the second quarter 2014 increased 10% year-over-year to RMB21.8 million (US$ 3.5 million) from RMB19.9 million in the second quarter 2013, which was primarily attributable to increased maintenance service fee income from key customers in the grocery industry.

The increases were primarily due to a lower proportion of low-margin hardware sales.

Operating Expenses 

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the second quarter 2014 decreased 20% year-over-year to RMB0.4 million (US$70,530), or 1% of total revenue, compared with RMB0.5 million, or 1% of total revenue in the second quarter 2013. R&D expenses, as a percentage of total revenue, was stable.

General and administrative expenses ("G&A") for the second quarter 2014 decreased 17% year-over-year to RMB6.3 million (US$1.0 million), representing 20% of total revenue, compared with RMB7.6 million, or 17% of total revenue in the second quarter 2013. The decrease in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to a lower head count as a result of improved management efficiency.

Selling and distribution ("S&D") expenses for the second quarter 2014 decreased 10% year-over-year to RMB9.8 million (US$1.6 million), representing 32% of total revenue, compared with RMB10.9 million, or 24% of total revenue in the second quarter 2013. The decrease in S&D expenses was in line with the decrease in total revenue excluding hardware sales.

Net Loss/Adjusted Net Loss and Loss Per Share/Adjusted Loss Per Share

As of June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents were RMB16.1 million (US$2.6 million), a decrease of RMB46.6 million from RMB62.6 million as of December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to the payment of annual bonuses and the expenditures incurred on customers' projects. 

Total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2014 decreased 17% to RMB21.9 million (US$3.5 million) from RMB26.4 million as of December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the improved collection of trade receivables.

Inventory and work in process as of June 30, 2014 increased 62% to RMB32.2 million (US$5.2 million) from RMB19.9 million as of December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in a number of on-going projects which had not reached the point of revenue recognition.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was RMB5.6 million (US$0.9 million). Net cash used in investing activities was RMB7.2 million (US$1.2 million).

THIRD QUARTER 2014 GUIDANCE

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2014 is expected to be in the range of negative RMB4 million (US$0.6 million) to negative RMB1 million (US$0.2 million).

CURRENCY CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION

For the convenience of readers, certain RMB amounts have been translated into US dollars at the rate of RMB6.2036 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate for U.S. dollars in effect on June 30, 2014 for cable transfers of RMB per U.S. dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement eFuture's unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, eFuture uses the following non-GAAP measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission: (i) adjusted EBITDA excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, impairment of intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses and depreciation; (ii) adjusted net income excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, impairment of intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses and accretion on convertible notes; and (iii) adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation expenses and accretion on convertible notes.

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 U.S. GAAP.

eFuture believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective or be indicative of its operating performance. eFuture believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to eFuture's historical performance and liquidity. eFuture computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The Company 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. The accompanying paragraphs have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

eFuture's management also believes that EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, is a useful financial metric to assess its operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes. In addition, eFuture's management believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the software industry and may be used by investors as a measure of its financial performance. Given the significant investments eFuture has made in property, equipment, depreciation and amortization expense comprises a meaningful portion of the Company's cost structure, eFuture's management believes that EBITDA will provide investors with a useful tool for comparability between periods because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense attributable to capital expenditures. The presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that the Company's future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains eFuture considers to be outside the ordinary course of its business.

The use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets, income tax expense, interest expense and interest income have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA. Further, share-based compensation expenses have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of eFuture's financial results. The term EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When assessing eFuture's operating and financial performance, you should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for its net income, operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company's EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as eFuture.
