Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
As disclosed in the second quarter 2020 unaudited financial results announcement made on August 17, 2020, the Company sold all of its investment in Beijing Yitian Xindong Network Technology Co., Ltd. ("Yitian Xindong" or "Tadu") in the second quarter of 2020 and the disposal of Tadu was qualified for reporting as a "discontinued operation" in the Company's financial statements. Accordingly, Tadu's results of operations had been excluded from the Company's results from continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) and were presented in separate line items as discontinued operations for all prior periods. The financial information and non-GAAP financial information disclosed in this press release is presented on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise specifically stated.
REVENUES
Total revenues in the second quarter of 2021 decreased by 17.8% to RMB256.7 million (US$39.8 million) from RMB312.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the year-over-year decline in the Company's net advertising revenues. Total revenues in the second quarter of 2021 increased by 13.5% from RMB226.1 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Net advertising revenues in the second quarter of 2021 decreased by 18.6% to RMB233.0 million (US$36.1 million) from RMB286.3 million in the same period of 2020, mainly due to the reduction in advertising spending of advertisers from certain industries and industry-wide intensified competition in the second quarter of 2021.
Paid services revenues[1] in the second quarter of 2021 decreased by 8.8% to RMB23.7 million (US$3.7 million) from RMB26.0 million in the same period of 2020. Revenues from paid contents in the second quarter of 2021 decreased by 32.4% to RMB9.6 million (US$1.5 million) from RMB14.2 million in the same period of 2020, mainly due to the trend towards free online reading in the online reading market. Revenues from E-commerce and others in the second quarter of 2021 increased by 19.5% to RMB14.1 million (US$2.2 million) from RMB11.8 million in the same period of 2020, which was mainly caused by the increase in revenues from E-commerce business.
[1] Prior to 2021, paid services revenues comprised of (i) revenues from paid contents, which included digital reading, audio books, paid videos, and other content-related sales activities, (ii) revenues from games, which included web-based games and mobile games, (iii) revenues from MVAS, and (iv) revenues from others. |
As revenues from games and revenues from MVAS were small and had been declining for the past years, to better reflect the Company's paid services revenues disaggregated by products and services, beginning from January 1, 2021, paid services revenues have been re-grouped and comprise of (i) revenues from paid contents, which includes digital reading, audio books, paid videos, and other content-related sales activities, (ii) revenues from E-commerce and others, which mainly includes revenues from E-commerce, MVAS, games and others. For comparison purposes, the revenues from paid services for the quarters of 2020 have been retrospectively re-classified. |
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues in the second quarter of 2021 increased by 9.9% to RMB137.0 million (US$21.2 million) from RMB124.7 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in cost of revenues was mainly due to the following:
- Content and operational costs in the second quarter of 2021 increased by 10.2% to RMB118.4 million (US$18.3 million) from RMB107.4 million in the same period of 2020, mainly caused by the resumption of offline activities in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to decreased operational activities due to COVID-19 impact in the same period of 2020 in China.
- Revenue sharing fees in the second quarter of 2021 increased by 78.3% to RMB4.1 million (US$0.6 million) from RMB2.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily attributable to the increase in revenue sharing fees paid to channel partners.
The increase was partially offset by the following:
- Bandwidth costs in the second quarter of 2021 decreased by 3.3% to RMB14.5 million (US$2.3 million) from RMB15.0 million in the same period of 2020.
GROSS PROFIT

Recent Regulatory Developments in China
There have been certain recent regulatory developments in China regarding cybersecurity, data protection and supervision of China-based, overseas listed companies. Among others,
- The PRC Data Security Law was promulgated and will take effect in September 2021, which imposes data security and privacy protection obligations on any person carrying out data activities, and provides for a national security review procedure for data activities that may affect national security. The Cyberspace Administration of China issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review in July 2021 for public comments, which would require any "data processor" carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security to be subject to cybersecurity review. The revised draft Measures for Cybersecurity Review have not been adopted and it remains unclear whether the final version to be adopted will include any changes.
- The General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly promulgated the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities in July 2021 which, among others, required relevant PRC governmental authorities to improve laws and regulations on data security, cross-border data transfer and management of classified information, especially as it relates to confidentiality and file management of overseas securities offering and listing. The Opinions also required relevant PRC government authorities to enhance supervision of China-based companies that are listed overseas and accelerate the establishment of a regulatory scheme for such companies.
These laws and regulations are new and some of them require further actions of the relevant PRC government authorities. There remain substantial uncertainties as to their implementation and interpretation. The Company is closely monitoring these regulatory developments and endeavor to fully comply with the laws and regulations as they are adopted and implemented. The Company's business involves the collection and processing of various types of data. The Company conducts its business through subsidiaries and affiliated consolidated entities in China, while American depositary shares representing the Company's Class A ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. As such, these regulatory developments may have some impacts on the Company's business operation and financial performance in the future, but the Company is not in a position to assess the nature or extent of such impacts at this stage.
Business Outlook
For the third quarter of 2021, the Company expects its total revenues to be between RMB257.9 million and RMB282.9 million; net advertising revenues are expected to be between RMB236.7 million and RMB256.7 million; and paid services revenues are expected to be between RMB21.2 million and RMB26.2 million.
All of the above forecasts reflect the current and preliminary view of the Company's management, which are subject to change and substantial uncertainty, particularly in view of the potential impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, the effects of which are difficult to analyse and predict.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Phoenix New Media Limited uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income or loss from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited, non-GAAP net margin from continuing operations and non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations per diluted ADS, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP income or loss from operations is income or loss from operations excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income or loss from operations divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited is net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited excluding share-based compensation, income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairment, changes in fair value of loan related to co-sale of Particle shares and changes in fair value of forward contract in relation to disposal of investments in Particle. Non-GAAP net margin from continuing operations is non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations per diluted ADS is non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by weighted average number of diluted ADSs. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the aforementioned non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with the related GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that using these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business allows both management and investors to assess the Company's performance against its competitors and ultimately monitor its capacity to generate returns for investors. The Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of items like share-based compensation, income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairment, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring items, and without the effect of changes in fair value of loan related to co-sale of Particle shares and changes in fair value of forward contract in relation to disposal of investments in Particle, which have been significant and one-time items. However, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's gross profit, income or loss from operations and net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the period. In addition, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as an alternative to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
