Fourth Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues were $31.5 million in 4Q09, an increase of 14.4%, or $4.0 million over 4Q08. The increase was attributable to an increase in the Company’s software sales of 70.9% to $18.7 million, and system integration services increased 84.4% to $4.6 million, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. Software and system integration sales constituted 59.3% and 39.7% of the Company’s total revenue. The increase in system integration revenues were skewed due to the temporary delay of some projects in 4Q08.
Sales of hardware products included $4.68 million contributed by Huipu in November and December of 2009. Despite this, sales of hardware products decreased by 32.3%, for fourth quarter of 2009 from the same period of 2008.
These changes are reflective of the Company’s increased focus on high value-added offerings surrounding its core competency, which warrant higher gross margin.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit was $15.8 million in 4Q09, an increase of 44.9%, or $4.89 million, from 4Q08. Gross margin was 50.0% in 4Q09, an improvement of 1054 basis points from 4Q08. The increase in gross margin from the same period one year ago was primarily due to a shift in product mix in favor of software business, which generates higher gross margin than the other two segments.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses were $5.7 million in 4Q09, an increase of 44.2%, or $1.7 million in 4Q08. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses went from 14.3% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2008 to 18.0% in the current period, reflecting our efforts in enhancing managerial capabilities which lead to higher compensation to staff and increased head count. Such investment shall yield managerial efficiency in the long run.
Income from Operations
Income from operations were $8.1 million in 4Q09, an increase of 48.8%, or $2.67 million in 4Q08. The operating margin improved by 595 basis points from 19.8% in the fourth quarter of 2008 to 25.8% in 4Q09. The operating margin increase was primarily due to widened gross margin, partially offset by the increase in administrative expense ratio.
Net Income Attributable to the Company
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income contributable to the Company was $8.8 million in 4Q09, an increase of 72.0%, or $3.7 million in 4Q08.
Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Results
Revenues
Revenue was $101.0 million, compared to $85.30 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $15.7 million, or 18.4%. The increase in revenues during 2009 was attributable to an increase in software sales of 82.6% to $63.83 million, as compared to $34.96 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Software sales constituted 63.2% of the Company’s total revenue.
Sales of hardware products included $4.68 million contributed by Huipu in November and December of 2009. Sales of hardware products and system integration services decreased by 37.4% and 1.6%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the year 2008.
These changes are reflective of the Company’s increased focus on high value-added offerings surrounding its core competency, which warrant higher gross margin.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately $54.20 million of the Company’s revenues were generated by its DIST segment, $36.83 million of revenues were generated by its GIS segment, and $9.97 million was generated by its DHIS segment. This compares with $50.97 million by DIST, $34.28 million by GIS and $50,801 by DHIS for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in DIST and GIS segments were 6.3% and 7.4% year-over-year due to growth in the GIS market exceeding that of DIST. The DHIS segment was started in November 2008, so the Company’s full-year comparison is skewed by the difference in time periods that contributed to the consolidated results.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross Profit increased by 29.6% from $39.1 in fiscal year 2008 to $50.7 in fiscal year 2009. Gross margin was 50.2% for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of 434 basis points, from 45.8% in 2008. The increase in gross margin from the same period one year ago was primarily due to a shift in product mix in favor of software business, which generates higher gross margin than the other two segments.
Income from Operations
Income from operations increased $8.3 million, or 34.6%, to $32.2 million in 2009, from $23.9 million in 2008. The operating margin improved by 384 basis points from 28.0% in 2008 to 31.8% in 2009. The operating margin increase was primarily due to widened gross margin and partially offset by our administrative expense ratio as a result of enhancing managerial capabilities.
Net Income Attributable to the Company
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income contributable to the Company increased $6.3 million, or 26.5%, to $30.1 million in 2009, from $23.8 million in 2008. Fully diluted net income per share was $0.62 in 2009, as compared to $0.51 in 2008.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures for earnings that exclude non-cash charges. China Information Security believes that these non- GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude non-cash charges that China Information Security's management excludes when it internally evaluates the performance of the Company's business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting, and performance measurement, because these measures provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. Moreover, management believes these non-GAAP measures reflect the essential operating activities of China Information Security. Accordingly, management excludes the expense arising from certain non-cash charges when making operational decisions. China Information Security believes that providing the non-GAAP measures that management uses to its investors is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand China Information Security's financial performance in comparison to historical periods. In addition, it allows investors to evaluate China Information Security's performance using the same methodology and information as that used by China Security's management. Non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges are excluded from the non- GAAP financial measure. However, China Information Security's management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded. The following table provides the non-GAAP financial measure and the related GAAP measure and provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the equivalent GAAP measure.
