Our execution has been solid since our IPO last April. In 2014, Weibo experienced the largest user increase since our inception, as we continued to focus on building the leading social media in China for internet users to create, share and discover multi-media content, stated Gaofei Wang, CEO of Weibo. On the monetization front, mobile ad revenues now make up more than half of Weibos total ad revenues, and we are seeing significant interest from customers to learn more about Weibo marketing. 2015 will be another high growth year for mobile and social marketing in China, and we are well positioned to take advantage of this trend.
Fourth Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Non-GAAP costs and expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $95.5 million, compared to $68.4 million for the same period last year. The increase in non-GAAP costs and expenses was mainly due to an increase in personnel-related costs, marketing expenditures, value-added-tax expenses resulting from higher revenues and infrastructure-related costs from the growth in traffic.

Changes in Management Roles
The Company also announced changes in management roles, whereby Ms. Bonnie Yi Zhang, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, will assume a new role as the Chief Financial Officer of SINA Corporation, Weibos parent company, and Mr. Herman Yu, SINA Corporations Chief Financial Officer, will become the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. 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 Weibos 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 Weibos 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 Companys financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Companys 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 Companys management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their financial and operating decision-making, because management believes these measures reflect the Companys 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 Companys current financial results with the Companys past financial results in a consistent manner, and (ii) in understanding and evaluating the Companys 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 Companys core operating results and business outlook.
Use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations. The Companys non-GAAP financial measures do not include all income and expense items that affect the Companys 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 Companys GAAP measures to the nearest non-GAAP measures are set forth in the section below titled Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.
Conference Call
Weibo will host a conference call at 9p.m.10p.m. Eastern Time on March 10, 2015 (or 9a.m. 10a.m. Beijing Time on March 11, 2015) to present an overview of the Companys financial performance and business operations.
