Our online business achieved record revenues as we successfully grew our client base, adding employers from existing cities and new geographies. Although we increased sales and customer service headcount as well as marketing activities in light of improved market conditions, we reached new highs in gross margin and operating margin in the second quarter by leveraging the powerful scale economies and operating efficiency of our business model. We remain focused on executing our strategic plan, delivering tangible results to our clients and increasing value for our shareholders.”
Second Quarter 2010 Unaudited Financial Results
Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 were RMB262.4 million (US$38.7 million), an increase of 35.7% from RMB193.3 million for the same quarter in 2009.
Print advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 6.8% to RMB71.7 million (US$10.6 million) compared with RMB67.2 million for the same quarter in 2009. The increase was primarily due to improved market demand and higher average revenue per page which was partially offset by a decrease in the number of print advertising pages. Although print advertising prices in each city were largely unchanged, overall average revenue per page increased 18.1% over the second quarter of 2009 as a result of an increase in page volume contribution from higher priced cities as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. However, mainly due to the decrease in the number of cities where51job Weeklyis published, from 22 cities as of June 30, 2009 to 17 cities as of June 30, 2010, the estimated number of print advertising pages generated in the second quarter of 2010 decreased 9.5% to 2,587 compared with 2,860 pages in the same quarter in 2009.
Online recruitment services revenues for the second quarter of 2010 were RMB134.6 million (US$19.9 million), representing a 74.0% increase from RMB77.4 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. Unique employers increased 73.2% to 137,111 in the second quarter of 2010 compared with 79,151 in the same quarter of the prior year driven by greater customer acceptance and usage of online recruitment services.
Other human resource related revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 14.9% to RMB56.0 million (US$8.3 million) from RMB48.7 million in the same quarter of 2009 primarily due to greater market demand for our business process outsourcing, executive search and training services.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 increased 54.3% to RMB169.0 million (US$24.9 million) from RMB109.6 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Gross margin, which is gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, expanded to 68.0% in the second quarter of 2010 compared with 59.8% in the same quarter in 2009 primarily due to greater economies of scale, improved efficiency and a decrease in printing-related expenses.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were RMB104.6 million (US$15.4 million) compared with RMB82.8 million for the same quarter of 2009. Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2010 increased 41.3% to RMB68.5 million (US$10.1 million) from RMB48.5 million for the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to an increase in salaries and commissions resulting from higher sales and headcount additions as well as greater advertising and promotion expenses. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2010 increased 5.1% to RMB36.1 million (US$5.3 million) from RMB34.3 million in the second quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses.
Income from operations for the second quarter of 2010 increased to RMB64.5 million (US$9.5 million) from RMB26.8 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Operating margin, which is income from operations as a percentage of net revenues, increased to 25.9% in the second quarter of 2010 compared with 14.6% in the same quarter of 2009. The reduction in the effective tax rate to 23.0% in the second quarter of 2010 from 32.7% in the second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to the qualification of an operating entity as a High and New Technology Enterprise in December 2009, which is subject to a preferential tax rate of 15%.
Net income for the second quarter of 2010 increased to RMB54.3 million (US$8.0 million) from RMB20.8 million for the same quarter in 2009. Fully diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2010 were RMB0.97 (US$0.14) compared with RMB0.37 for the same quarter in 2009. Fully diluted earnings per ADS for the second quarter of 2010 were RMB1.95 (US$0.29) compared with RMB0.74 in the second quarter of 2009.
In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recognized total share-based compensation expense of RMB6.5 million (US$1.0 million) compared with RMB6.8 million in the second quarter of 2009. The Company also recognized a foreign currency translation loss of RMB1.0 million (US$0.2 million) in the second quarter of 2010 compared with RMB0.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 due to an appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.
Excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency translation loss as well as their related tax impact, non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2010 increased to RMB61.9 million (US$9.1 million) compared with RMB27.7 million for the second quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per common share were RMB1.11 (US$0.16) in the second quarter of 2010 compared with RMB0.50 in the second quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per ADS in the second quarter of 2010 were RMB2.22 (US$0.33) compared with RMB0.99 in the second quarter of 2009.

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 common share and adjusted earnings per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expense and foreign currency translation gain or loss 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 foreign currency translation gain or loss and its related tax impact from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such translation gain or 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. 51job also believes these non-GAAP measures excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency translation gain or loss and 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.
