Second Quarter 2007 Unaudited Financial Results
Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 were RMB209.9 million (US$27.6 million), an increase of 21.1% from RMB173.4 million for the same quarter in 2006.
Print advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2007 increased 10.8% to RMB107.6 million (US$14.1 million) compared with RMB97.1 million for the same quarter in 2006. The increase was primarily the result of a greater volume of advertisements in51job Weeklywhich was partially offset by lower average revenue per page. The estimated number of print advertising pages generated in the second quarter of 2007 grew 37.3% to 4,213 compared with 3,068 pages in the same quarter in 2006. Average revenue per page in the second quarter of 2007 decreased 19.3% over the same quarter in 2006 due to growing revenue contribution from lower priced cities.
Online recruitment services revenues for the second quarter of 2007 were RMB71.2 million (US$9.4 million), representing a 29.3% growth from RMB55.1 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was mainly attributable to growth in the number of employers using the Company’s online services. Unique employers using the Company’s online recruitment services increased 32.1% to 57,975 in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 43,891 in the same quarter last year.
Executive search revenues for the second quarter of 2007 increased 2.8% to RMB4.7 million (US$0.6 million) from RMB4.6 million for the same quarter last year. For the second quarter of 2007, other human resource related revenues grew 58.7% to RMB26.5 million (US$3.5 million) from RMB16.7 million in the second quarter last year principally due to greater customer demand for corporate training and business process outsourcing services.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2007 was RMB115.1 million (US$15.1 million), representing an increase of 25.4% from RMB91.8 million for the same quarter last year. Gross margin, which is equal to gross profit divided by net revenues, was 57.8% in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 56.0% in the same quarter in 2006.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2007 were RMB72.0 million (US$9.5 million) compared with RMB62.4 million for the same quarter last year. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 36.2% for the second quarter of 2007 from 38.1% for the second quarter of 2006. Excluding share-based compensation expense, operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 33.3% in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 34.0% in the second quarter of 2006.
Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2007 increased 34.5% to RMB42.2 million (US$5.5 million) from RMB31.4 million for the same quarter in 2006 primarily due to higher employee salary and benefit expenses due to the hiring of additional salespersons, greater advertising expenses, and increased spending on marketing and promotional activities.
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2007 decreased to RMB29.8 million (US$3.9 million) from RMB31.0 million in the second quarter last year primarily due to lower office rental and share-based compensation expenses, which were partially offset by increased costs relating to new staff additions and higher employee salaries.
Income from operations for the second quarter of 2007 increased 46.4% to RMB43.1 million (US$5.7 million) from RMB29.4 million for the same quarter last year. The Company’s effective tax rate increased to 31.2% in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 21.9% in the second quarter of 2006 due to the expiration of certain tax exemptions.
Net income for the second quarter of 2007 increased 19.5% to RMB31.0 million (US$4.1 million) from RMB26.0 million for the same quarter in 2006. Fully diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2007 were RMB0.55 (US$0.07) compared with RMB0.46 for the same quarter in 2006. Fully diluted earnings per ADS for the second quarter of 2007 were RMB1.10 (US$0.14) compared with RMB0.92 in the second quarter of 2006.
In the second quarter of 2007, the Company recognized total share-based compensation expense of RMB6.8 million (US$0.9 million) compared with RMB8.0 million in the second quarter of 2006. The Company also recognized a foreign currency translation loss of RMB4.3 million (US$0.6 million) in the second quarter of 2007 compared with a translation loss of RMB1.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 resulting from an appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.
Excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency translation loss which had no impact on the Company’s cash earnings, non-GAAP adjusted income for the second quarter of 2007 was RMB42.1 million (US$5.5 million), a 19.6% increase from RMB35.2 million for the second quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per common share were RMB0.74 (US$0.10) in the second quarter of 2007 compared with RMB0.62 in the second quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per ADS in the second quarter of 2007 were RMB1.49 (US$0.20) compared with RMB1.25 in the second quarter of 2006.

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 adjusted income, adjusted earnings per common share and adjusted earnings per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense and foreign currency translation gain or loss. The Company believes excluding stock-based compensation expense 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 foreign currency translation gain or loss from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such translation gain or loss is unrelated to 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 measures excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency translation gain or loss 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.
Safe Harbor Statement
Statements in this release regarding targets for the third quarter of 2007, future business and operating results constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
