Third Quarter 2009 Unaudited Financial Results
Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 were RMB219.6 million (US$32.2 million), an increase of 5.1% from RMB209.0 million for the same quarter in 2008.
Print advertising revenues for the third quarter of 2009 decreased 7.2% to RMB77.1 million (US$11.3 million) compared with RMB83.2 million for the same quarter in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a lower volume of print advertising pages in51job Weeklyresulting from a decline in market demand, which was largely offset by higher average revenue per page. The estimated number of print advertising pages generated in the third quarter of 2009 decreased 23.6% to 3,213 compared with 4,204 pages in the same quarter in 2008. Although print advertising prices charged in each city have remained relatively stable, overall average revenue per page increased 21.4% over the third quarter of 2008 due to an increase in page volume contribution from cities where print advertising prices are generally higher as compared to the same quarter of the prior year.
Online recruitment services revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were RMB90.1 million (US$13.2 million), representing a 16.0% increase from RMB77.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase primarily resulted from a greater number of unique employers using the Company’s online recruitment services, which was partially offset by lower average revenue per unique employer. Unique employers increased 47.0% to 91,167 in the third quarter of 2009 compared with 62,023 in the same quarter of the prior year driven by greater customer acceptance and usage of online recruitment services. Average revenue per unique employer decreased 21.1% in the third quarter of 2009 due to employers purchasing lower priced products and/or reducing their overall spending on online recruitment services as compared to the same quarter in 2008.
Other human resource related revenues for the third quarter of 2009 increased 8.6% to RMB52.4 million (US$7.7 million) from RMB48.2 million in the same quarter of 2008 principally due to greater customer demand for human resource outsourcing services, which was partially offset by lower revenues from executive search and training services.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2009 increased 24.3% to RMB129.7 million (US$19.0 million) from RMB104.3 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Gross margin, which is equal to gross profit divided by net revenues, expanded to 62.4% in the third quarter of 2009 compared with 52.7% in the same quarter in 2008 primarily due to lower printing related and other direct expenses resulting from the implementation of cost control and efficiency measures earlier this year.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2009 were RMB89.6 million (US$13.1 million) compared with RMB82.3 million for the same quarter of 2008. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues was 43.1% for the third quarter of 2009 compared with 41.6% for the third quarter of 2008. Excluding share-based compensation expense, operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues was 40.5% in the third quarter of 2009 compared with 38.9% in the third quarter of 2008.
Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2009 increased 7.5% to RMB53.2 million (US$7.8 million) from RMB49.4 million for the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to increased commissions resulting from higher sales and greater advertising expenses, which were partially offset by lower travel and entertainment expenses compared to the same quarter in 2008.
General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2009 increased 11.1% to RMB36.5 million (US$5.3 million) from RMB32.8 million in the third quarter of 2008, which was largely attributable to higher employee compensation, rental and depreciation expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2009.
Income from operations for the third quarter of 2009 increased 81.6% to RMB40.1 million (US$5.9 million) from RMB22.1 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Other income in the third quarter of 2009 included tax subsidies of RMB7.4 million (US$1.1 million) compared with RMB2.9 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate was 30.1% in the third quarter of 2009 compared with 7.4% in the third quarter of 2008, which was lower due to an adjustment for the cumulative impact of certain tax changes in 2008.
Net income for the third quarter of 2009 increased 27.0% to RMB35.9 million (US$5.3 million) from RMB28.3 million for the same quarter in 2008.

The Company also recognized a foreign currency translation loss of RMB86,000 (US$13,000) in the third quarter of 2009 compared with a translation loss of RMB1.5 million in the third quarter of 2008.

Business Outlook
Based on current market and operating conditions, and taking into consideration that the fourth quarter is historically a seasonally weak period for recruitment, the Company’s revenue target for the fourth quarter of 2009 is in the estimated range of RMB215 million to RMB225 million (US$31.5 million to US$33.0 million). Excluding share-based compensation expense and any foreign currency translation loss or gain, the Company’s non-GAAP fully diluted earnings target for the fourth quarter of 2009 is in the estimated range of RMB0.58 to RMB0.68 per common share (US$0.17 to US$0.20 per ADS). The Company expects aggregate share-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2009 to be in the estimated range of RMB6 million to RMB7 million (US$0.9 million to US$1.0 million).

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 net 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 share-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.
