Michael Tao Song, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sky-mobi, stated, “We were pleased that our fiscal fourth quarter 2013 revenues exceeded the high end of our prior guidance by approximately 28.8% and achieved 9.6% sequential growth. Even though we revised up our full fiscal year guidance last quarter we still managed to beat the high end of the guidance by 6.4%. These results are a testament to our proactive strategy to address the declining feature phone market by focusing on expanding our Maopao Community, which delivered over 13% year-over-year growth through game monetization.

“Our focus remains on the tremendous opportunities associated with China’s fast growing smartphone market, especially the dramatic increase in the adoption of low-end smartphones. This strategy resulted in accelerated growth in the number of smartphone users which more than doubled quarter-over-quarter to over 20 million users. This strength continues to demonstrate the success of our multi-pronged approach for growing our smartphone business. More specifically, our partnerships with over 160 smartphone handset partners continues to provide immediate access to new users through direct pre-installations on smartphones. Also, our established offline presence through physical stores for application installation in partnership with Suning, one of China’s largest consumer electronics and appliance retailers, as well as provincial carrier stores has become an increasingly important growth avenue which has resulted in over 140,000 daily smartphone user additions. Looking ahead, as China’s smartphone market is increasingly driven by the adoption of low-end smartphones, we remain focused on the monetization opportunities available in this segment and are confident in our strategy to service these users, staying in front of China’s evolving marketplace.”
Carl Yeung, Chief Financial Officer of Sky-mobi, commented, “ We were encouraged by our better-than-expected top line performance and the substantial improvement in operating profit and margins we experienced in the past quarter. In addition, through strategic analysis and disciplined investments, we continue to actively roll out our innovative growth initiatives that led to our improved quarter. As a result, we managed to maintain positive cashflow with our cash and deposits position growing to RMB608 million as of March 31, 2013. Given our recent success in navigating the macro shift to smartphones in China, we remain cautiously optimistic as we continue to adjust our model to better target these new emerging opportunities and improve shareholder value over the long term.”
“In addition, beginning this quarter we have started to disclose additional operating metrics for our smartphone operation. We believe this additional disclosure will help investors to better understand our progress in expanding our reach and audience footprint in the increasingly important smartphone business. Combined with our ongoing share repurchase program, we believe that these efforts demonstrate our commitment to generating shareholder value as well as confidence in achieving long-term growth.”

Total revenues | | | 179,036 | | | | 161,005 | | | | 25,924 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The discussion and analysis below focuses on revenues by source, as the Company believes this metric is more useful to investors in analyzing and understanding its business model.
Total revenues for fourth quarter 2013 decreased 10.1% to RMB161.0 million (US$25.9 million) from RMB179.0 million in fourth quarter 2012. The Company currently derives all revenues from its feature phone business.
7
Revenues collected from carrier channels were RMB114.7 million (US$18.5 million) in fourth quarter 2013, representing 71.3% of total revenues, decreased 16.7% from RMB137.8 million in fourth quarter 2012. Sky-mobi had 1.7 billion user visits and 443.0 million downloads of applications and content from the feature phone Maopao application store in fourth quarter 2013, which decreased from 3.8 billion user visits and 924.7 million downloads in fourth quarter 2012. The decrease in revenues collected from carrier channels was primarily due to fewer user visits and downloads as a result of the anticipated on-going decline in the feature phone market, which was partially offset by higher user activity monetization rate as a result of direct cooperation with wireless carriers and improved content installations.
Revenues collected from third party channels were RMB34.5 million (US$ 5.6 million), up 12.8% from fourth quarter 2012 and contributing 21.4% of total revenues in fourth quarter 2013. The Company collected most of its Maopao Community revenues through this channel. Sky-mobi’s Maopao Community had 10.6 million active members and 608.2 million member log-ins during the fourth quarter 2013, representing a decrease from 17.3 million active members and 775.1 million member log-ins in the fourth quarter 2012. Revenues from the Maopao Community increased due to higher ARPU3 on the Company’s two most popular mobile social games, “Fantasy of Three Kingdoms” and “Fairy Magic World”, despite a decrease in the number of active members and log-ins. The Company expects the revenue contribution collected from third party channels to steadily increase in future quarters.
Other revenues consist of commissions from companies for using Maopao Platform to promote and sell applications (“promotion income”) as well as overseas revenues generated by the Company’s international mobile service providers. Other revenues were RMB11.8 million (US$1.9 million) in fourth quarter 2013, up from RMB10.7 million in fourth quarter 2012, primarily due to the Company’s strengthened efforts in developing its promotional services on the Maopao Platform as well as growth of its application store and related services outside of China.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Total cost of revenues for fourth quarter 2013 decreased 17.8% to RMB100.6 million (US$16.2 million) compared to RMB122.5 million in fourth quarter 2012.
Total non-IFRS cost of revenues for fourth quarter 2013 decreased 17.7% to RMB100.4 million (US$16.2 million) compared to RMB122.0 million in fourth quarter 2012.

Non-IFRS Gross Margin | | | 31.8 | % | | | 37.6 | % | | | | |
Non-IFRS cost of revenues is defined as cost of revenues excluding share-based compensation expenses. The discussion and analysis below focuses on non-IFRS cost of revenues, which the Company believes more accurately reflects the Company’s operating performance than IFRS cost of revenues.
Sky-mobi strengthened the cooperative relationship with China Mobile in fiscal year 2013 and was granted access to fee-collection codes from China Mobile, which enabled the Company to collect proceeds without having to use service providers as intermediaries. The Company will try to maximize its cooperation with China Mobile directly, as long as the data volume resources granted by China Mobile are not exceeded, to benefit from lower channel costs and faster collection of the proceeds.
Non-IFRS costs associated with payments to industry participants decreased 16.6% to RMB93.4 million (US$15.0 million) in fourth quarter 2013 compared to RMB112.0 million in fourth quarter 2012. This decrease was primarily due to reduced channel costs, which were in-line with the decline in revenues collected from those channels, costs savings from dealing directly with the mobile operators as well as improved cost controls on purchasing mobile content for feature phones. Approximately RMB2.0 million of accrued costs payable were reversed into cost of sales in fourth quarter 2012 while no such reversal occurred in fourth quarter 2013. Such accrued costs are not expected to recur in the current fiscal year.
Non-IFRS direct costs including salaries and benefits, depreciation, office expenses and utilities directly related to the operation of the Maopao application store and the Maopao Community decreased 30.0% to RMB7.0 million (US$1.1 million) in fourth quarter 2013 compared to RMB10.0 million in fourth quarter 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in overall headcount in the Company’s feature phone market business, which was in line with the Company’s strategy to focus on the smartphone market.
9
Non-IFRS gross profit for fourth quarter 2013 increased 6.3% to RMB60.6 million (US$9.8 million) compared to RMB57.0 million in fourth quarter 2012. Non-IFRS gross margin in fourth quarter 2013 was 37.6%, up from 31.8% in fourth quarter 2012, mainly due to the higher contribution of promotional income, which has a higher profit margin, as well as lower billing and transmission failure rates and cost savings from direct cooperation with China Mobile on the game platform.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses, primarily consisting of employee salaries and benefits, training expenses, travelling, entertainment and office related expenses, decreased 35.5% in fourth quarter 2013 to RMB30.7 million (US$4.9 million) from RMB47.6 million in fourth quarter 2012, primarily due to the decrease in headcount.
Total non-IFRS operating expenses were RMB27.2 million (US$4.4 million) in fourth quarter 2013, a decrease of 32.0% from RMB40.0 million in fourth quarter 2012.

The Company’s employee headcount decreased 16.3% to 489 as of March 31, 2013 from 584 as of March 31, 2012 as described in the table below. The decrease in headcount was a result of the Company’s reorganization, which rebalanced the Company’s overall headcount to focus on smartphone application development and reducing resources allocated to the feature phone group.
The sharp decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to RMB6 million reversal of accrued annual bonus in this quarter as a result of the performance review and office cost control measures in addition to the decrease in headcount.

About Non-IFRS Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, Sky-mobi uses several non-IFRS financial measures defined below. The Company believes management and investors benefit from non-IFRS financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and prospects. Specifically, the Company believes that non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s operating performance.
The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with IFRS. A limitation of using non-IFRS cost of revenues, gross profit, operating expenses, profit from operations, net profit and net profit per share is that these non-IFRS measures exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense. Management provides specific information regarding the IFRS amounts excluded from each non-IFRS measure. For more information on these non-IFRS financial measures, please see the tables containing reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to comparable IFRS measures in this release.
