Third Quarter 2014 Unaudited Financial Results
Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 were RMB474.0 million (US$77.2 million), an increase of 13.0% from RMB419.6 million for the same quarter in 2013.
Online recruitment services revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were RMB315.5 million (US$51.4 million), representing a 13.6% increase from RMB277.6 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The growth was principally due to an increase in the number of unique employers using online recruitment services, which was partially offset by a decrease in average revenue per unique employer and the implementation of a 6% VAT policy change effective June 1, 2014. Unique employers increased 19.4% to 283,651 in the third quarter of 2014 compared with 237,526 in the same quarter of the prior year driven by strengthened customer acquisition efforts and increased usage of online recruitment services by employers. However, average revenue per unique employer decreased 4.9% in the third quarter of 2014 as compared with the same quarter in 2013 primarily due to the effect of the VAT policy change on online recruitment services revenues and the addition of new customers who generally purchase introductory, lower priced services.
Print advertising revenues for the third quarter of 2014 decreased 78.5% to RMB2.0 million (US$0.3 million) compared with RMB9.4 million for the same quarter in 2013 primarily due to the ongoing business transition away from print advertising services. The estimated number of print advertising pages generated in the third quarter of 2014 was 19 pages compared with 298 pages in the same quarter in 2013. The Company operates a print publication in the city of Xian as of September 30, 2014 compared with four cities as of September 30, 2013.
Other human resource related revenues for the third quarter of 2014 increased 18.0% to RMB156.5 million (US$25.5 million) from RMB132.6 million in the same quarter of 2013 primarily due to growth and usage of business process outsourcing and training services.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 increased 14.6% to RMB334.0 million (US$54.4 million) from RMB291.5 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Gross margin, which is gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, increased to 72.9% in the third quarter of 2014 compared with 72.4% in the same quarter in 2013.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2014 increased 8.7% to RMB62.4 million (US$10.2 million) from RMB57.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses, including share-based compensation, as well as greater office and depreciation expenses.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2014 decreased to 12.3% compared with 17.7% in the third quarter of 2013 as a result of non-taxable items, primarily the change in fair value of convertible notes, which comprised a large portion of the income before income tax base.

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 financial measures of income before income tax expense, income tax expense, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expense, gain/loss from foreign currency translation, convertible senior notes issuance costs, change in fair value of convertible notes and change in fair value of zero-strike call options, as well as the related tax effect of these items. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect 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 gain/loss from foreign currency translation and its related tax effect 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 convertible senior notes issuance costs and its related tax effect from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such costs are one-time, non-recurring and not attributable to the underlying performance of the Company’s business. The Company believes excluding change in fair value of convertible notes and its related tax effect from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such change 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 change in fair value of zero-strike call options and its related tax effect from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such change is not indicative of the Company’s core business operations and will not result in cash settlement nor impact the Company’s cash earnings. 51job also believes these non-GAAP financial measures excluding share-based compensation expense, gain/loss from foreign currency translation, convertible senior notes issuance costs, change in fair value of convertible notes and change in fair value of zero-strike call options, as well as the related tax effect of these items, 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.

Notes:
| 1. | The conversion of Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollar amounts is based on the noon buying rate of RMB6.1380 to US$1.00 on September 30, 2014 in New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as set forth in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. |
| 2. | Includes share-based compensation expense of RMB7,462 and RMB9,501 (US$1,548) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. |
| 3. | Includes share-based compensation expense of RMB6,415 and RMB8,167 (US$1,331) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. |
| 4. | Includes share-based compensation expense of RMB32,698 and RMB41,634 (US$6,783) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. |
| 5. | Diluted earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the "if converted" method. The potential conversion of the convertible senior notes was excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 because the effect would be anti-dilutive. |
