First Quarter 2015 Results

Revenues

Total net revenues were RMB441.8 million (US$71.3 million) in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 105.8% from RMB214.7 million from the same period last year and an increase of 5.7% from RMB417.8 million in the prior quarter. The sequential and year-over-year increase was mainly due to the continued success of our existing self-developed and published games, including Crisis Action (全民枪战), and the success of games newly launched in the first quarter of year 2015 such as Pleasant Goat. ARPU for our social games has increased by 16.2% to RMB54.6 in the first quarter of 2015 from RMB 47.0 in the fourth quarter of 2014 as our mix of poker games, which have lower ARPU, has decreased. Meanwhile, our single-player games have recognized an increase of 51.4% in paying users to 10.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 from 7.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 mainly due to the new users brought in by Pleasant Goat.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was RMB166.1 million (US$26.8 million) in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 108.4% from RMB79.7 million in the first quarter of 2014 and a decrease of 3.3% from RMB171.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The sequential decrease was primarily due to a higher percentage of publishing revenue out of total revenues compared to the prior quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increases in payments made to mobile carrier channels and revenue sharing to distribution channels as our overall revenue continued to grow, as well as an increase in amortization expenses.

The Company's overall gross margin was 62.4% during the first quarter of 2015, compared with 62.9% in the first quarter of 2014 and 58.9% in the fourth quarter of 2014. Gross margin increased quarter-over-quarter primarily as a result of a higher percentage of publishing revenue out of total revenues compared to the prior quarter. Gross margin was comparable to the same quarter last year.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were RMB214.6 million (US$34.6 million) in the first quarter of 2015, compared with RMB97.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 and RMB183.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Operating expenses were 48.6% of revenues for the first quarter of 2015, compared with 43.8% in the prior quarter and 45.4% for the same quarter last year. The sequential and year-over-year increases in operating expenses were primarily a result of higher share-based compensation expenses for the warrants issued to external consultants as well as RMB 3.1 million for internal investigation costs incurred in relation to a short seller report.

Selling expenses were RMB106.2 million (US$17.1 million) during the first quarter of 2015, compared with RMB56.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 and RMB103.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Selling expenses as a percentage of revenues was 24.0%, which is comparable to 24.8% for the fourth quarter of 2014, and decreased from 26.5% compared to the first quarter of 2014. Selling expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased year-over-year as our revenues increased significantly year-over-year. Selling expenses increased year-over-year due to an increase of revenue and an expansion of online advertising activities, including increased game promotion through web platforms, application stores and agents.

General and administrative expenses were RMB74.3 million (US$12.0 million) in the first quarter of 2015, compared with RMB23.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 and RMB40.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 16.8% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to 10.8% in the first quarter of 2014 and 9.8% in the fourth quarter of 2014. The sequential and year-over-year increases were mainly due to an increase in share-based compensation expenses for warrants issued to external consultants in the first quarter of 2015, an increase in staff costs and internal investigation costs incurred in relation to a short seller report.

Research and development expenses were RMB34.1 million (US$5.5 million) in the first quarter of 2015, compared with RMB17.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 and RMB38.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 7.7% in the first quarter of 2015, a decrease from 8.1% from the first quarter of 2014 and from 9.3% in the fourth quarter of 2014. The sequential and year-over-year decreases were primarily due to an increase in revenues.

Share-based compensation expenses totaled RMB18.5 million (US$3.0 million) in the first quarter of 2015, compared with RMB3.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 and RMB20.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The sequential decrease was due to RMB12.7 million in share-based compensation for the performance-based share options incurred in the prior quarter as the financial target for 2014 was achieved. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to additional expenses of RMB8.7 million (US$1.4 million) incurred for warrants issued to external consultants in the first quarter of 2015 as well as share option and warrants granted to management in the first quarter of 2015.

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing, CMGE's operating income was RMB61.1 million (US$9.9 million) in the first quarter of 2015, compared with an operating income of RMB37.6 million in the first quarter of 2014, representing a 62.5% increase year-over-year and a decrease of 2.9% compared to operating income of RMB62.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP operating income, excluding (1) share-based compensation expenses and (2) internal investigation costs, was RMB82.7 million (US$13.3 million) during the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 100.7% compared with a non-GAAP operating income, excluding share-based compensation expenses, of RMB41.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, and a decrease of 0.8% compared with non-GAAP operating income, excluding share-based compensation expenses, of RMB83.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Other Income (loss)

There was no material other loss during the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2014. Other income for the first quarter of 2014 was RMB 2.5 million and mainly represented a rebate for our public shares offering activity from our depositary.

Income Tax

The Company had income tax expenses of RMB1.7 million (US$0.3 million) for the first quarter of 2015, compared with an income tax benefit of RMB0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and income tax expenses of RMB6.0 million for the first quarter of 2014. The year-over-year decrease was mainly because of tax concessions obtained in 2014 that were reversed in the second quarter of 2014, while tax expenses were fully recorded in the first quarter of 2014.

Net Income attributable to CMGE

Net income attributable to CMGE for the first quarter of 2015 was RMB63.4million (US$10.2 million), compared with net income attributable to CMGE of RMB34.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 and net income attributable to CMGE of RMB67.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Net income attributable to CMGE was 83.2% higher year-over-year and 5.9% lower quarter-over-quarter. Net income attributable to CMGE decreased sequentially mainly because of increase in staff costs and internal investigation costs incurred in relation to a short seller report. Net income attributable to CMGE increased year-over-year due to an increase in revenues while the expenses remained largely comparable. 

Non-GAAP net income attributable to CMGE, excluding (1) share-based compensation expenses and (2) internal investigation costs, was RMB85.0 million (US$13.7 million) during the first quarter of 2015, compared with a non-GAAP net income attributable to CMGE, excluding share-based compensation expenses,of RMB37.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 and non-GAAP net income attributable to CMGE, excluding share-based compensation expenses, of RMB87.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
