Third Quarter 2011 Unaudited Financial Results
Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011 were RMB343.3 million (US$53.8 million), an increase of 26.4% from RMB271.6 million for the same quarter in 2010.
Online recruitment services revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were RMB212.7 million (US$33.4 million), representing a 49.0% increase from RMB142.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher average revenue per unique employer as well as a greater number of unique employers using the Company’s online recruitment services. Average revenue per unique employer increased 27.9% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same quarter in 2010 due to growing demand for online recruitment services and the impact of price increases implemented in April 2011. Unique employers increased 16.5% to 165,572 in the third quarter of 2011 compared with 142,098 in the same quarter of the prior year driven by new customer acquisition and greater usage of online services.
Print advertising revenues for the third quarter of 2011 decreased 30.8% to RMB42.9 million (US$6.7 million) compared with RMB62.0 million for the same quarter in 2010. The decline was primarily due to a reduction in the number of cities where 51job Weekly is published and a 38.3% decrease in the estimated number of print advertising pages generated in the third quarter of 2011 to 1,322 from 2,143 pages in the same quarter in 2010. This decline was partially offset by higher average revenue per page. Average revenue per page increased 12.1% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same quarter in 2010 primarily as a result of greater page contribution from higher priced cities.
Other human resource related revenues for the third quarter of 2011 increased 31.0% to RMB87.6 million (US$13.7 million) from RMB66.9 million in the same quarter of 2010 primarily due to greater market demand for our business process outsourcing and training services.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2011 increased 34.1% to RMB236.2 million (US$37.0 million) from RMB176.1 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Gross margin, which is gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, expanded to 72.4% in the third quarter of 2011 compared with 68.4% in the same quarter in 2010 primarily due to greater economies of scale.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2011 increased 15.6% to RMB124.0 million (US$19.4 million) from RMB107.2 million for the same quarter of 2010. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 38.0% for the third quarter of 2011 compared with 41.6% for the third quarter of 2010. Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2011 increased 20.0% to RMB82.2 million (US$12.9 million) from RMB68.5 million for the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to an increase in sales headcount and higher salary expenses, commissions and bonuses. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2011 increased 7.9% to RMB41.8 million (US$6.6 million) from RMB38.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to higher share-based compensation, rental and office expenses.

The Company also recognized loss from foreign currency translation of RMB2.9 million (US$0.5 million) in the third quarter of 2011 compared with RMB2.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 due to an appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.
Excluding share-based compensation expense and loss from foreign currency translation as well as their related tax impact, non-GAAP adjusted income for the third quarter of 2011 increased 54.9% to RMB111.6 million (US$17.5 million) compared with RMB72.0 million for the third quarter of 2010.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), 51job uses non-GAAP measures of income before income tax expense, income tax expense, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted earnings per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation and loss from impairment of long-term investments as well as their related tax impact. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense and its related tax impact from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company’s core operating results as such expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company’s business operations and do not impact its cash earnings. The Company believes excluding loss from foreign currency translation and its related tax impact from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such translation loss is not indicative of the Company’s core business operations and will not result in cash settlement nor impact the Company’s cash earnings. The Company believes excluding the loss from impairment of long-term investments and its related tax impact from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such loss is unrelated to the Company’s core business operations. 51job also believes these non-GAAP measures excluding share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation and loss from impairment of long-term investments, as well as their related tax impact, are important in helping investors to understand the Company’s current financial performance and future prospects and to compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial statements.
