“We are pleased that as a result of strong execution we beat our prior guidance with a 5% year-over-year growth in total net revenues for the third quarter of 2012 despite a challenging market environment. While our margins remained under pressure as we had to increase commissions paid to sales agents in order to safeguard our market share due to intensified competition, we saw our gross margin bottoming out in the third quarter in 2012. In addition, we believe that our strategy execution in the past year has well prepared us for a gradual turnaround,” said Mr. Chunlin Wang, CNinsure’s chief executive officer. “2012 has been a year of transition and adjustment for CNinsure, during which we shut down low efficiency sales outlets, reduced unproductive sales agents and abandoned cooperation with some channels that were demanding higher commissions and could not meet our management requirements. While these efforts may adversely affect our financial performance initially, we believe that they make us a more solid company and prepare us for a successful future. In the mean time, we are glad to see significant progress in developing our e-commerce platform and building up the sales capability of comprehensive financial services and products. Following the launch of our insurance comparison website (www.baoxian.com) in January 2012, we unveiled our mobile sales support device in October 2012, which we believe will become a powerful business growth driver for the Company and help us further strengthen our leading market position in the Chinese insurance intermediary sector.”
Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2012
Total net revenues were RMB403.0 million (US$64.1 million) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, representing an increase of 5.0% from RMB383.7 million for the corresponding period in 2011, primarily due to increases in net revenues from our property and casualty (“P&C”) insurance and claims adjusting business segments. The increase in the P&C business segment was mainly driven by increases in commission rates received from insurance underwriters, and the growth of the claims adjusting segment was mainly attributable to growth in auto insurance-related claims adjusting business. Net revenues from commissions and fees derived from the property and casualty insurance, life insurance and claims adjusting businesses for the third quarter of 2012 contributed 70.6%, 15.2%, and 14.2% of the Company’s total net revenues, respectively, compared to 69.3%, 16.9% and 13.8%, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2011.
Total operating costs and expenses were RMB400.1 million (US$63.7 million) for the third quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 28.6% from RMB311.0 million for the corresponding period in 2011.
Commissions and fees expenses were RMB294.3 million (US$46.8 million) for the third quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 52.5% from RMB192.9 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to an increase in commissions paid to our sales agents within the P&C segment as greater competition among P&C insurance companies has driven up commission rates in the auto insurance market, and increased competition largely resulting from telemarketing by other insurance companies has pushed up the Company’s per policy acquisition cost.
Selling expenses were RMB19.4 million (US$3.1 million) for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 2.6% from RMB20.0 million for the corresponding period of 2011.
2
General and administrative expenses were RMB86.4 million (US$13.7 million) for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 12.0% from RMB98.1 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the following factors:
1) recognition of approximately RMB10.0 million in financial advisor and legal fees incurred in the third quarter of 2011 in relation to the non-binding going-private proposal which the Company received on May 14, 2011 and was later withdrawn on September 15, 2011; and
2) recognition of RMB7.0 million impairment loss in respect of intangible assets and of RMB12.9 impairment loss in respect of goodwill for the claims adjusting segment in the third quarter of 2011.
The decrease was partially offset by a 189.1% increase in share-based compensation expenses, from RMB4.6 million for the third quarter of 2011 to RMB13.2 million (US$2.1 million) for the corresponding period of 2012, mainly representing compensation expenses related to options granted to employees in March 2012 which were recognized on an accelerated basis in the third quarter of 2012.
As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income was RMB2.9 million (US$0.5 million) for the third quarter in 2012, representing a decrease of 96.0% from RMB72.7 million for the corresponding period of 2011.
Non-GAAP operating income, which excluded (1) share-based compensation expenses for the third quarter of 2012 and the corresponding period of 2011, (2) impairment losses in respect of goodwill for the claims adjusting segment and intangible assets for the third quarter of 2011, and (3) professional fees relating to a non-binding going-private proposal that was later withdrawn for the third quarter of 2011, was RMB16.1 million (US$2.6 million) for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 85.0% from RMB107.1 million for the corresponding period in 2011.
Operating margin was 0.7% for the third quarter of 2012, compared to 18.9% for the corresponding period in 2011. Non-GAAP operating margin was 4.0% for the third quarter of 2012, compared to 27.9% for the corresponding period in 2011.
Interest income was RMB25.3 million (US$4.0 million) for the third quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 85.9% from RMB13.6 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The increase in interest income was primarily due to (1) RMB2.0 million (US$0.3 million) in interest charged on amounts due from related parties and (2) increases in interest-bearing bank balances and bank interest rates from the corresponding period in 2011.
Income tax expense was RMB12.7 million (US$2.0 million) for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 42.8% from RMB22.3 million for the corresponding period in 2011 due to the significant decrease in operating income. The effective income tax rate applicable to the Company was 44.7% for the third quarter of 2012, compared to 23.3% for the corresponding period in 2011. The increase in effective tax rate was mainly due to the increase in share-based compensation expenses which are not tax-deductible, and the internal sales of fixed assets which incurred taxable income although such intercompany income has been eliminated on the consolidated financial statements.
3
Net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders was RMB23.0 million (US$3.7 million) for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 70.6% from RMB78.2 million for the corresponding period in 2011.
Net margin was 5.7% for the third quarter of 2012 compared to 20.4% for the corresponding period in 2011.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, which excluded (1) share-based compensation expense for the third quarter of 2012 and the corresponding period of 2011, (2) impairment losses in respect of goodwill for the claims adjusting segment and intangible assets, net of tax, for the third quarter of 2011 and (3) professional fees relating to a non-binding going-private proposal that was later withdrawn for the third quarter of 2011, was RMB36.2 million (US$5.8 million) for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 67.4% from RMB110.9 million for the corresponding period in 2011.
Non-GAAP net margin was 9.0% for the third quarter of 2012 compared to 28.9% for the corresponding period in 2011.
Basic net income per ADS was RMB0.46 (US$0.07) for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 70.6% from RMB1.56 for the corresponding period in 2011. Diluted net income per ADS was RMB0.46 (US$0.07) for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 70.1% from RMB1.53 for the corresponding period in 2011.
Non-GAAP basic net income per ADS was RMB0.72 (US$0.11) for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 67.4% from RMB2.21 for the corresponding period in 2011. Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS was RMB0.72 (US$0.11) for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 67.0% from RMB2.18 for the corresponding period in 2011.
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had RMB2.7 billion (US$427.5 million) in cash and cash equivalents.
Recent developments:
· On November 6, 2012, CNinsure’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to US$30 million of its ADSs by May 6, 2013. Purchases will be made on the open market or in negotiated transactions off the market from time to time as market conditions warrant, and will be subject to restrictions related to volume, price and timing.
· On October 23, 2012, CNinsure officially launched CNpad, the workstation for its mobile sales support system, which is a key component of its e-commerce platform.
· On October 10, 2012, CNinsure established CNinsure Sales Service Group Company Limited, which is the first insurance sales service group company in China.
4
· As of September 30, 2012, CNinsure’s distribution and service network consisted of 469 sales and services outlets operating in 26 provinces, compared to 593 sales and service outlets operating in 23 provinces as of September 30, 2011. CNinsure had 46,556 sales agents and 1,271 professional claims adjustors as of September 30, 2012, compared to 43,643 sales agents and 1,334 professional claims adjustors as of September 30, 2011. The decrease of the number of sales outlets as of September 30, 2012 was mainly because we shut down or combined certain less productive sales outlets in the third quarter of 2012.
Business Outlook
CNinsure expects its total net revenues to remain flat for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period in 2011. This forecast reflects CNinsure’s current view, which is subject to change.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the Company’s consolidated financial results under GAAP, the Company also provides non-GAAP financial measures, excluding share-based compensation expenses for the third quarter of 2012 and the corresponding periods in 2011, professional fees relating to the non-binding going-private proposal that was later withdrawn and intangible asset and goodwill impairment losses for the third quarter of 2011. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. One limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude the items that were significant in the third quarter of 2012 and the corresponding period of 2011. Another is that items such as share-based compensation expenses have been, and will continue to be, a significant recurring factor in our business.
In light of the limitations, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and other interested persons to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this release.
