Phoenix New Media Reports Third Quarter 2021 Unaudited Financial Results

BEIJING, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Phoenix New Media Limited (NYSE: FENG) ("Phoenix New Media", "ifeng" or the "Company"), a leading new media company in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Mr. Shuang Liu, CEO of Phoenix New Media, commented, "Faced with pressures from the current macroeconomic uncertainties, we remained steadfast in our commitment to further developing our core competitive differentiation in original content production capabilities. During the third quarter of 2021, we deepened our collaboration with Phoenix TV in content production and event execution and sales, creating a cohesive and integrated media group and further enhancing our brand influence. In addition, we upgraded our iFeng app to better incorporate exclusive content from Phoenix TV and improved the app's features and content distribution. Meanwhile, we launched our own Multi-Channel Network and developed our monetization channels on third-party platforms. Going forward, we plan to remain prudent in evaluating business initiatives, align our business with shifting industry dynamics, and elevate our brand influences through consistent delivery of original content."

Mr. Edward Lu, CFO of Phoenix New Media, further stated, "In the third quarter, we experienced increasing challenges from intensified industry-wide competition and a slowdown in the macroeconomic environment. In response, we re-strategized while proactively managing our expenses, streamlining our operations, and optimizing our team structure to improve operating efficiency. As we drive the evolution of our content ecosystem and monetization channels, we will continue to focus on generating more diverse revenue streams to increase shareholder value in the future."

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

REVENUES

Total revenues in the third quarter of 2021 decreased by 19.3% to RMB244.6 million (US$38.0 million) from RMB303.0 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the year-over-year decline in the Company's net advertising revenues.

Net advertising revenues in the third quarter of 2021 decreased by 23.0% to RMB216.6 million (US$33.6 million) from RMB281.3 million in the same period of 2020, mainly due to the reduction in advertising spending of advertisers from certain industries and intensified industry-wide competition in the third quarter of 2021.

Paid services revenues[1] in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 29.0% to RMB28.0 million (US$4.4 million) from RMB21.7 million in the same period of 2020. Revenues from paid contents in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 69.7% to RMB15.1 million (US$2.4 million) from RMB8.9 million in the same period of 2020, mainly caused by the increase in revenues from licensing fees related to audio books.

Cost of revenues in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 3.1% to RMB154.7 million (US$24.0 million) from RMB150.0 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in cost of revenues was mainly due to the following:

  • Content and operational costs in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 3.5% to RMB134.2 million (US$20.8 million) from RMB129.7 million in the same period of 2020, mainly caused by the increase in content acquisition costs in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Revenue sharing fees in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 10.0% to RMB6.6 million (US$1.0 million) from RMB6.0 million in the same period of 2020, primarily attributable to the increase in revenue sharing fees paid to channel partners.

The increase was partially offset by the following:

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 63.3% to RMB296.2 million (US$46.0 million) from RMB181.4 million in the same period of 2020, primarily attributable to the increase in general and administrative expenses due to the RMB140.4 million (US$21.8 million) of allowance for credit losses that was recognized in the third quarter of 2021 related to the entire amount of accounts receivable and notes receivable from Evergrande Group caused by Evergrande's operating results.

Recent Regulatory Developments in China

There have been certain recent regulatory developments in China regarding cybersecurity, data protection and supervision of China-based, overseas listed companies. Among others,

  • The PRC Data Security Law was promulgated and came into effect in September 2021. The law imposes data security and privacy protection obligations on any person carrying out data activities, and provides for a national security review procedure for data activities that may affect national security. The Cyberspace Administration of China issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review in July 2021 for public comments, which would require any "data processor" carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security to be subject to cybersecurity review. The revised draft Measures for Cybersecurity Review have not been adopted and it remains unclear whether the final version to be adopted will include any changes.
  • The PRC Personal Information Protection Law was adopted and came into effect in November 2021. As the first comprehensive legislation on personal information protection in China, it specifies the scope of personal information, clarifies the legal bases for processing personal information, lays down the obligations and responsibilities imposed on processors, and imposes stringent requirements on data localization, safeguarding the interest of China in cross-border transfers of personal information. It works together with the PRC Cybersecurity Law and PRC Data Security Law to establish a broader regulatory architecture governing cybersecurity and data privacy protection in China and is expected to have a significant impact on the data compliance practices of both PRC domestic and multinational companies to the extent they process or use the personal information of individuals located within China.
  • The General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly promulgated the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities in July 2021 which, among others, required relevant PRC governmental authorities to improve laws and regulations on data security, cross-border data transfer and management of classified information, especially as it relates to confidentiality and file management of overseas securities offerings and listings. The Opinions also required relevant PRC government authorities to enhance supervision of China-based companies that are listed overseas and accelerate the establishment of a regulatory scheme for such companies.

These laws and regulations are new and some of them require further actions by the relevant PRC government authorities. There remain substantial uncertainties as to their implementation and interpretation. The Company is closely monitoring these regulatory developments and endeavor to fully comply with the laws and regulations as they are adopted and implemented. The Company's business involves the collection and processing of various types of data including certain personal information of its users. The Company conducts its business through subsidiaries and affiliated consolidated entities in China, while American depositary shares representing the Company's Class A ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company expects to incur increased compliance costs and may need to adjust its business operation as it endeavors to comply with these evolving laws and regulations. However, given the substantial uncertainties in the implementation and interpretation of these laws and regulations, the Company is not able to assess the full nature and extent of the potential impacts that these regulatory developments may have on the Company's business operation and financial performance in the future.

[1] Prior to 2021, paid services revenues comprised of (i) revenues from paid contents, which included digital reading, audio books, paid videos, and other content-related sales activities, (ii) revenues from games, which included web-based games and mobile games, (iii) revenues from MVAS, and (iv) revenues from others.

As revenues from games and revenues from MVAS were small and had been declining for the past years, to better reflect the Company's paid services revenues disaggregated by products and services, beginning from January 1, 2021, paid services revenues have been re-grouped and comprise of (i) revenues from paid contents, which includes digital reading, audio books, paid videos, and other content-related sales activities, (ii) revenues from E-commerce and others, which mainly includes revenues from E-commerce, MVAS, games and others. For comparison purposes, the revenues from paid services for the quarters of 2020 have been retrospectively re-classified.

[2] "Others, net" primarily consists of government subsidies and litigation loss provisions.

[3] "ADS" means American Depositary Share of the Company. Each ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares of the Company.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company expects its total revenues to be between RMB256.1 million and RMB276.1 million; net advertising revenues are expected to be between RMB239.7 million and RMB254.7 million; and paid services revenues are expected to be between RMB16.4 million and RMB21.4 million.

All of the above forecasts reflect the current and preliminary view of the Company's management, which are subject to change and substantial uncertainty, particularly in view of the potential impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, the effects of which are difficult to analyse and predict.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Phoenix New Media Limited uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income or loss from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited, non-GAAP net margin from continuing operations and non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations per diluted ADS, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP income or loss from operations is income or loss from operations excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income or loss from operations divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited is net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited excluding share-based compensation, income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairment, changes in fair value of loan related to co-sale of Particle shares and impairment of available-for-sale debt investments. Non-GAAP net margin from continuing operations is non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations per diluted ADS is non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by weighted average number of diluted ADSs. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the aforementioned non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with the related GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that using these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business allows both management and investors to assess the Company's performance against its competitors and ultimately monitor its capacity to generate returns for investors. The Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of items like share-based compensation, income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairment, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring items, and without the effect of changes in fair value of loan related to co-sale of Particle shares and impairment of available-for-sale debt investments, which have been significant and one-time items. However, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's gross profit, income or loss from operations and net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the period. In addition, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as an alternative to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
