Changes in Management Roles

Both changes are effective immediately.

 

“I like to thank Bonnie for her hard work and dedication since joining Weibo last March,” stated Mr. Wang. “I also like to welcome Herman, who has over 20 years in financial management experience, spanning between the US and China, and significant capital market experience.”

 

Business Outlook

 

For the first quarter of 2015, Weibo estimates that its net revenues to be between $93 million and $96 million. This forecast reflects Weibo’s current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

 

Non-GAAP Measures

 

This release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures:  non-GAAP costs and expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Weibo’s ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of the Company’s financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets net of tax, change in fair value of investor option liability and remeasurement gain upon obtaining control. In addition, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes interest income (expenses), income taxes (benefits), and depreciation expenses. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their financial and operating decision-making, because management believes these measures reflect the Company’s ongoing operating performance in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in the following ways: (i) in comparing the Company’s current financial results with the Company’s past financial results in a consistent manner, and (ii) in understanding and evaluating the Company’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains (losses) and other items (i) that are not expected to result in future cash payments or (ii) that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook.

 

Use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures do not include all income and expense items that affect the Company’s operations.  They may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  Accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how the Company defines its non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of the Company’s GAAP measures to the nearest non-GAAP measures are set forth in the section below titled “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”
