Jiayuan Announces First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
BEIJING, June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Jiayuan.com International Ltd. (“Jiayuan”) (NASDAQ: DATE), operator of the largest online dating platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
First Quarter 2013 Highlights[1]
· Net revenues for the first quarter 2013 were RMB111.5 million (US$18.0 million), a year-over-year increase of 27.6%.
· Operating income for the first quarter 2013 was RMB9.4 million (US$1.5 million), with an increase of 139.1% compared to operating income of RMB3.9 million for the corresponding quarter of 2012. The increase in operating income was a result of strong growth in Jiayuan’s online services. Excluding share-based compensation, non-GAAP[2] operating income for the first quarter 2013 was RMB13.5 million (US$2.2 million), compared to non-GAAP operating income of RMB7.8 million for the corresponding quarter of 2012, representing a year-over-year increase of 73.4%.
· Net income for the first quarter 2013 was RMB7.9 million (US$1.3 million), up 51.8% compared to net income of RMB5.2 million for the corresponding quarter of 2012. Excluding share-based compensation, non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2013 was RMB12.1 million (US$2.0 million), up 32.8% compared to RMB9.1 million for the corresponding quarter of 2012.
“Jiayuan’s total revenue increased 27.6% in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the same period last year,” said Mr. Linguang Wu, CEO of Jiayuan. “By enabling users to access our services while travelling, the popularity of Jiayuan’s mobile products helped to mitigate the seasonality associated with the late Chinese New Year holiday, even as it coincided this year with Valentine’s Day, traditionally our peak period of user activity.”
Mr. Wu added, “We are very excited to be celebrating our 10th anniversary this year with the launch of Jiayuan’s new logo and mascot, reaffirming our commitment to quality and innovation in helping marriage-minded singles in China find love.”
“Building on our industry leadership through sustained investment in new product development and R&D is at the core of Jiayuan’s long-term growth strategy, and we remain encouraged with our progress on this front,” said Mr. Shang Koo, CFO of Jiayuan. “Recently we completed our move to Jiayuan’s new company-owned office space which provides comfortable and cost-effective space for our growing team.”
Mr. Koo noted that on May 16th the Company announced a special dividend and an annual dividend policy, in line with Jiayuan’s commitment to delivering shareholder value.
First Quarter 2013 Operational Results
The number of average monthly active user accounts[3] for the first quarter 2013 was 5,188,638, compared to 5,434,692 for the corresponding period of 2012 and 5,123,265 for the previous quarter.
The number of average monthly paying user accounts[4] for the first quarter 2013 was 1,279,063, compared to 1,171,031 for the corresponding period of 2012 and 1,233,466 for the previous quarter.
Average monthly revenue per paying user (“ARPU”) for online services for the first quarter 2013 was RMB26.1, compared to RMB22.0 for the corresponding period in 2012 and RMB26.5 for the previous quarter.
First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Jiayuan reported net revenues of RMB111.5 million (US$18.0 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing a year-over-year increase of 27.6% from RMB87.4 million and a slight increase from RMB110.5 million in the previous quarter. This was primarily due to strong growth in online services, despite a weaker-than-usual rebound in user activities as a result of the Chinese New Year falling later in the calendar year and its overlap with Valentine’s Day, a traditionally strong dating period.
· Online services contributed RMB100.2 million (US$16.1 million), or 89.8% of net revenues for the first quarter of 2013, representing a year-over-year increase of 29.6% from RMB77.3 million, and a slight increase from RMB98.1 million for the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to the increase in paying user accounts and ARPU. The sequential increase was due to the increase in paying user accounts, partially offset by the decrease in ARPU.
· Events and VIP services contributed RMB11.3 million (US$1.8 million), or 10.2% of net revenues for the first quarter of 2013, representing a year-over-year increase of 11.9% from RMB10.1 million, which is in line with the increase of VIP clients served, and a quarter-over-quarter decrease of 9.0% from RMB12.4 million for the previous quarter due to a decline in the number of events held.
Cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2013 was RMB37.9 million (US$6.1 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 22.0% from RMB31.1 million, and a slight decrease from RMB38.2 million for the previous quarter. The yearly increase was in line with the growth of online services. The slight sequential decline was a result of fewer number of events held during the period.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2013 was RMB73.6 million (US$11.8 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 30.7% from RMB56.3 million, and a slight increase compared to RMB72.3 million for the previous quarter.
Selling and marketing expenses were RMB44.1 million (US$7.1 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing a year-over-year increase of 24.7% from RMB35.4 million, and a quarter-over-quarter increase of 8.3% from RMB40.7 million. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased advertising prices.
General and administrative expenses were RMB14.8 million (US$2.4 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing a year-over-year increase of 14.4% from RMB12.9 million. There was a sequential increase of 6.0% from RMB13.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to increased headcount and an annual salary adjustment which became effective in January.
Research and development expenses were RMB5.3 million (US$856,000) for the first quarter of 2013, representing a year-over-year increase of 29.8% from RMB4.1 million, and a quarter-over-quarter increase of 7.1% from RMB5.0 million. The sequential increase was due to an increase in the number of research and development personnel in line with Jiayuan’s segmentation strategy.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2013 was RMB9.4 million (US$1.5 million), an increase of 139.1% compared to operating income of RMB3.9 million for the corresponding quarter of 2012, and a decrease of 26.1% from RMB12.7 million in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was due to strong growth in Jiayuan’s online business. The sequential decrease was primarily due to the increase of operating expenses associated with a post-Chinese New Year advertising campaign. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP operating income for the first quarter of 2013 was RMB13.5 million (US$2.2 million), compared to non-GAAP operating income of RMB7.8 million for the corresponding quarter of 2012, and non-GAAP operating income of RMB17.4 million for the previous quarter.
Foreign currency exchange net gain for the first quarter of 2013 was RMB135,000 (US$22,000), compared to foreign currency exchange net gain of RMB61,000 for the corresponding quarter of 2012 and a foreign currency exchange net gain of RMB745,000 for the previous quarter. The foreign currency exchange net gain for the first quarter of 2013 was mainly attributable to RMB appreciation against the U.S. dollar during the period. Part of the proceeds from Jiayuan’s IPO was converted into RMB and is being held by its overseas entities whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar.
Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was RMB7.9 million (US$1.3 million), compared to net income of RMB5.2 million for the corresponding quarter of 2012, and net income of RMB17.2 million for the previous quarter. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2013 was RMB12.1 million (US$2.0 million), compared to RMB9.1 million for the corresponding quarter of 2012, and RMB22.0 million for the previous quarter.
Basic and diluted net income per ADS[5] for the first quarter of 2013 were RMB0.27 (US$0.04) and RMB0.26 (US$0.04), respectively, compared to basic and diluted net income per ADS of RMB0.17 and RMB0.16 for the corresponding quarter of 2012, and basic and diluted net income per ADS of RMB0.57 and RMB0.56, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2012.
Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS for the first quarter of 2013 were RMB0.41 (US$0.07) and RMB0.40 (US$0.06), respectively, compared to non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS of RMB0.29 and RMB0.28 for the corresponding quarter of 2012 and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS of RMB0.73 and RMB0.71, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2012.
As of March 31, 2013, Jiayuan had cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits of RMB542.8 million (US$87.4 million). Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter of 2013 were RMB64.0 million (US$10.3 million).
The weighted average number of ADSs outstanding used in calculating diluted net income per ADS and non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS in the first quarter of 2013 was 30.6 million. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had 32.1 million ADSs outstanding, including 0.2 million ADSs issued to the depository for future exercise of options.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We disclose non-GAAP financial measures of operating income, net income and net income per ADS, each of which is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense. We review non-GAAP financial measures to obtain an additional understanding of our operating performance. We also believe it is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess our operating performance without the effect of non-cash share-based compensation expense, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in our business. For a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see “Reconciliation To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income” included in this press release.
However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that it does not include all items that impact our non-GAAP financial measures during the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from or as an alternative to GAAP financial measures. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amount excluded from the non-GAAP measure.
