For example, in December 2015, mobile DAUs grew 46% year over year to 94 million and average daily video views grew 53% sequentially.”

Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results

For the fourth quarter of 2015, Weibo reported net revenues of $149.0 million, compared to $105.2 million for the same period last year. Advertising and marketing revenue totaled $129.5 million, compared to $88.0 million for the same period last year.

Costs and expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $123.2 million, compared to $100.6 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP costs and expenses were $116.3 million, compared to $95.7 million for the same period last year. The increase in non-GAAP costs and expenses was primarily due to an increase in infrastructure costs resulting from strong video consumption and overall growth traffic, an increase in game and other revenue share, value added taxes associated with higher revenues, and higher personnel-related costs.

Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $25.8 million, compared to $4.7 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP income from operations was $32.8 million, compared to $9.5 million for the same period last year.

Net income attributable to Weibo’s ordinary shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $19.1 million, or diluted net income per share of $0.09, compared to $4.4 million for the same period last year, or diluted net income per share of $0.02. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo’s ordinary shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $32.9 million, or diluted net income per share of $0.15, compared to $9.2 million for the same period last year, or diluted net income per share of $0.04.

As of December 31, 2015, Weibo’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $335.9 million. For the fourth quarter of 2015, cash provided by operating activities was $51.7 million, capital expenditures totaled $2.7 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to $4.4 million.

Business Outlook

For the first quarter of 2016, Weibo estimates that its net revenues to be between $111 million and $116 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 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, gain on the sale of investments and impairment on investments, net, and dividend income from investments. In addition, adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation expenses, interest income (expenses) and income tax expenses (benefits). 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 non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures are set forth in the section below titled “Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Results.”

The unaudited condensed combined and consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets have been prepared assuming that the Weibo funds acquired from SINA on June 30, 2015 as if they had been owned by Weibo for all periods. Impact of such funds to each period was not significant.

About Weibo Corporation

Weibo is a leading social media for people to create, share and discover Chinese-language content.

Weibo offers a wide variety of advertising and marketing solutions to its customers, ranging from large brand advertisers to Alibaba/e-commerce merchants to small and medium sized enterprises to individuals.
