(Nasdaq:EFUT) (the "Company" or "eFuture"), a leading provider of software and services in China's rapidly growing retail and consumer goods industries, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

  • Gross profit increased 5% year-over-year to RMB16.1 million (US$2.6 million).
  • Adjusted EBITDA was minus RMB1.0 million (US$0.2 million), compared to adjusted EBITDA of RMB1.1 million in the third quarter 2011.
  • Operating loss was RMB3.9 million (US$0.6 million), compared to an operating loss of RMB3.2 million in the third quarter 2011.
  • Net loss was RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million), compared to a net loss of RMB2.5 million in the third quarter 2011.
  • Adjusted net income decreased 82% year-over-year to RMB0.3 million (US$47,415).

Mr. Adam Yan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of eFuture, commented on the results. "eFuture achieved the mid-range of the guidance we set last quarter and recorded a satisfactory gross margin. These performances for the third quarter 2012 were fully in-line with our expectations as we continued to execute on our strategic objectives to enhance profitability through product upgrades and revenue mix changes in a challenging macroeconomic environment.

"Following the trends we have seen in previous quarters, we continue to experience steady year over year order growth for our customized IT solutions services from grocery and department store clients in big cities as well as in tier two and three cities. However, we have also seen signs of a persistently soft China consumer market, leading to stagnant growth in the retail and consumer sector.

Mr. Yan concluded, "eFuture was named China's number one retail industry IT service provider measured by market share in the International Data Corporation's China Retail Industry IT Solution 2012-2016 Forecast and Analysis Report. We believe our leading market position and the combination of innovative products and customized services we now offer in the marketplace will equip eFuture with a sustainable model to outgrow the market, as we continue to gain market share and position ourselves for the eventual economic recovery."

Mr. Sean Zheng, Chief Financial Officer, added, "We have secured two important contracts for our customized IT solution services in the quarter and we expect to recognize revenue from these projects early next year. As such, we are expecting more evenly distributed revenue over the next four quarters of the next fiscal year.

"Looking ahead to 2013, we are optimistic that we will see continued momentum, along with a strengthened revenue stream throughout the year. Our new operational initiatives and strategic objectives should enable us to build on our relationships with existing customers and place us in a prime position to realize solid growth for the future."

THIRD QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue

Total revenue for the third quarter 2012 decreased 10% to RMB37.5 million (US$6.0 million) from RMB41.9 million in the third quarter 2011.

Revenue Breakdown

     
  3Q11 3Q12
  RMB '000 RMB '000 USD '000 Y-o-Y Change
Software license sales 13,544 13,264 2,111 (2%)
Hardware sales 3,010 5,867 933 95%
Service fee income 25,304 18,353 2,920 (27%)
Total 41,858 37,484 5,964 (10%)

Software license revenue for the third quarter 2012 decreased 2% year-over-year to RMB13.3 million (US$2.1 million) from RMB13.5 million in the third quarter 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decline of third-party software license revenue.

Hardware revenue in the third quarter 2012 increased 95% year-over-year to RMB5.9 million (US$0.9 million) from RMB3.0 million in the third quarter 2011. The increase was due to the completion of some large contracts from the grocery and logistics industry in the third quarter 2012.

Service fee income for the third quarter 2012 decreased 27% year-over-year to RMB18.4 million (US$2.9 million) from RMB25.3 million in the third quarter 2011, which was primarily attributable to decreased customization service fee income in fast moving consumer goods ("FMCG") and grocery industries in the third quarter 2012, as a result of the completion of two large contracts in the same period last year.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue for the third quarter 2012 decreased 19% to RMB21.4 million (US$3.4 million) from RMB26.5 million in the third quarter 2011.

Cost of Revenue Breakdown

Cost of software license sales 3,783 3,876 617 2%
Cost of hardware sales 2,133 4,816 766 126%
Cost of service fee 17,963 11,310 1,799 (37%)

Amortization of software costs 928 683 109 (26%)
Total 26,543 21,371 3,400 (19%)

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased 5% year-over-year to RMB16.1 million (US$2.6 million) from RMB15.3 million in the third quarter 2011, and consolidated gross margin for the third quarter 2012 was 43%, compared with 37% in the third quarter 2011. The improvement in gross margin was mainly due to an increased margin on service fee income. The Company continued to improve the sales portfolio to focus on more profitable projects, which reflects a higher proportion of high-margin maintenance and consulting service fee income in the third quarter 2012.

Operating Expenses

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the third quarter 2012 increased 76% year-over-year to RMB0.6 million (US$97,215), or 2% of total revenue, compared with RMB0.3 million, or 1% of total revenue in the third quarter 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of share-based compensation expenses, as a new grant under the share incentive plan started its vesting period in the second quarter 2012.

General and administrative expenses ("G&A") for the third quarter 2012 decreased 26% year-over-year to RMB8.0 million (US$1.3 million), representing 21% of total revenue, compared with RMB10.7 million, or 26% of total revenue in the third quarter 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to better debt reserve in the third quarter 2012 compared with the same period in 2011. In addition, the interim bonus and share-based compensation for senior management also decreased in the third quarter 2012.

Selling and distribution ("S&D") expenses for the third quarter 2012 increased 55% year-over-year to RMB11.5 million (US$1.8 million), representing 31% of total revenue, compared with RMB7.4 million, or 18% of total revenue in the third quarter 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the rise of sales commissions for the newly-signed contracts during the third quarter 2012. In the third quarter 2012, the amount of new contracts increased nearly 40% compared with the third quarter 2011. In addition, more expenditure on the business development was incurred for seed businesses in the third quarter 2012.

Operating Loss

Operating loss in the third quarter 2012 was RMB3.9 million (US$0.6 million), compared with an operating loss of RMB3.2 million in the third quarter 2011.

Net Loss/Adjusted Net Income and Loss Per Share/Adjusted Earnings Per Share

As a result of the aforementioned loss, third quarter 2012 net loss was RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million), compared with a net loss of RMB2.5 million in the third quarter 2011. Adjusted net income for the third quarter 2012 was RMB0.3 million (US$47,415), compared with an adjusted net income of RMB1.6 million in the third quarter 2011.

Basic and diluted loss per share in the third quarter 2012 was RMB0.52 (US$0.08), compared to basic and diluted loss per share of RMB0.62 in the third quarter 2011. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was RMB0.07 (US$0.01), compared to an adjusted diluted earnings per share of RMB0.39 in the third quarter 2011.

EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2012 was minus RMB1.0 million (US$0.2 million), compared to adjusted EBITDA of RMB1.1 million in the third quarter 2011.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of September 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents amounted to RMB39.1 million (US$6.2 million), a decrease of RMB18.1 million from RMB57.2 million as of December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to the expenditures on customization projects and capitalized R&D projects.

Total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2012 increased 14% to RMB22.6 million (US$3.6 million) from RMB19.9 million as of December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of revenue recognition from some large contracts in 2012; meanwhile the cash collection was partially impacted by the recent uncertain economic environment.

Inventory and work in process as of September 30, 2012 increased 26% to RMB35.1 million (US$5.6 million) from RMB28.0 million as of December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of on-going projects which had not reached the point of revenue recognition, and also related to the amount of hardware to be delivered to customers.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB12.4 million (US$2.0 million). Net cash used in investing activities was RMB5.5 million (US$0.9 million).

Share Repurchase Program

On December 22, 2011, the Company announced a share repurchase program to repurchase up to US$2 million worth of its ordinary shares over the next 12 months. During the third quarter of 2012, eFuture repurchased approximately 16 thousand shares with an average price of US$3.75 per share.

FOURTH QUARTER 2012 GUIDANCE

eFuture expects total revenue for the fourth quarter 2012 to be in the range of RMB65 million (US$10.3 million) to RMB70 million (US$11.1 million). Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2012 is expected to be in the range of RMB3 million (US$0.5 million) to RMB4.5 million (US$0.7 million). The year-over-year decrease in guidance for the fourth quarter is mainly due to the exceptionally strong results from Hardware revenue in the fourth quarter 2011.

CURRENCY CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION

For the convenience of readers, certain RMB amounts have been translated into US dollars at the rate of RMB6.2848 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate for US dollars in effect on September 30, 2012 for cable transfers of RMB per U.S. dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement eFuture's unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, eFuture uses the following non-GAAP measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission: (i) adjusted EBITDA excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, impairment of intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses and depreciation; (ii) adjusted net income excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, impairment of intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses and accretion on convertible notes; and (iii) adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation expenses and accretion on convertible notes.

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 U.S. GAAP.

eFuture believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective or be indicative of its operating performance. eFuture 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. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to eFuture's historical performance and liquidity. eFuture computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The accompanying paragraphs have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

eFuture's management also believes that EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization is a useful financial metric to assess its operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes. In addition, eFuture's management believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the software industry and may be used by investors as a measure of its financial performance. Given the significant investments that eFuture has made in property, equipment, depreciation and amortization expense comprises a meaningful portion of the Company's cost structure. eFuture's management believes that EBITDA will provide investors with a useful tool for comparability between periods because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense attributable to capital expenditures. The presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that the Company's future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains eFuture considers to be outside the ordinary course of its business.

The use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets, income tax expense, interest expense and interest income have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA. Further, share-based compensation expenses have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of eFuture's financial results. The term EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When assessing eFuture's operating and financial performance, you should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for its net income, operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company's EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as eFuture does.
