Commenting on the second quarter’s results, acting Chief Executive Officer Ted Sun said, “With the first half of 2005 completed, it is clear that NetEase is one of the leading Internet portals in China, with a heavy emphasis on its online game operation and development which continues to be the principle driver of the Company’s growth. We have also shown continuous improvement on providing stronger channel content on our websites through strategic partnerships and initiatives, which are now attracting more advertising spending. We hope to achieve healthy growth in the remainder of 2005 as we role out our pipeline of massively multi-player online role-playing games (“MMORPGs”) and casual games.”
Financial Results
The Company reported total revenues of RMB416.9 million (US$50.4 million) for the second quarter, representing a 27.2% increase over RMB327.7 million (US$39.6 million) for the preceding quarter, and a 90.2% increase over RMB219.1 million (US$26.5 million) for the corresponding period a year ago.
Revenues from online game services for the quarter showed continued strength, increasing 31.1% quarter-over-quarter and 146.5% year-over-year to RMB343.7 million (US$41.5 million), which was driven by the strong growth in the popularity of the Company’s leading games, Fantasy Westward Journey and Westward Journey Online II. In particular, Fantasy Westward Journey maintained its leadership position as one of China’s most popular MMORPGs, with peak and average concurrent user numbers reaching approximately 710,000 and 304,000, respectively, for the second quarter of 2005. In addition, Westward Journey Online II achieved double digit revenue growth in the second quarter despite the recent entry of a number of major new MMORPGs into the online game market in China which had little impact on the Company’s current game strategy. Westward Journey Online II ranked as one of the top-five MMORPGs in terms of user numbers in China for the second quarter, and it achieved record peak and average concurrent users of approximately 486,000 and 198,000, respectively, for the second quarter of 2005. Strong demand for these games can be attributed to a number of factors, including content enhancements through expansion packs released during the first quarter, the continued efforts to expand the Company’s distribution network (to access games and distribution of point cards) and further penetration into the market by enhanced sales and marketing efforts and online driven events.
Revenues from advertising services increased by 18.0% to RMB53.4 million (US$6.5 million) over the preceding quarter’s RMB45.3 million (US$5.5 million) and 30.8% over RMB40.9 million (US$4.9 million) for the corresponding period a year ago. The increase was driven by several factors, including the execution of portal-related agreements with parties such as China Finance Online, the title sponsor of the Company’s finance channel, and Sou Fun, the partner for the Company’s property channel. Additionally, the Company’s growth in advertising revenue benefited from the traditional seasonal increase in advertising spending in the second quarter, the continuous enhancement of its websites’ content which the Company believes attracted more spending from advertisers, and further strengthing of its advertising sales and marketing efforts.
Revenues from wireless value-added services and others decreased slightly from RMB20.3 million (US$2.4 million) for the preceding quarter to RMB19.7 million (US$2.4 million) for the second quarter. Revenues from wireless value-added services and others in the second quarter of 2004 was RMB38.8 million (US$4.7 million). This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in revenue earned from various SMS services as a result of intense competition and the overall decrease in popularity of such services in the wireless market in China.

Chief Operating Officer Michael Tong commented, “NetEase continues to experience significant growth in the popularity of our in-house developed games, Fantasy Westward Journey and Westward Journey Online II. We also see continued progress in our 2005 and 2006 game pipeline with several games nearing commercial launch, including a 2.5D game set during the Tang Dynasty which is currently under internal beta testing, a 3D game based on Chinese mythology and a diverse platform of casual games.
The Company reported gross profit in the second quarter of RMB326.8 million (US$39.5 million), representing a 29.1% increase over the previous quarter’s RMB253.2 million (US$30.6 million) and a 99.0% increase over RMB164.3 million (US$19.8 million) for the corresponding period a year ago.
Gross margins for online games further increased to 90.2% in the second quarter from 89.0% in the prior quarter due to increasing economies of scale. Gross margins for advertising services remained largely stable in the second quarter. On the other hand, gross margins for wireless value-added services and others decreased to 18.4% in the second quarter from 33.8% in the prior quarter mainly due to server depreciation charges which were higher in the second quarter due to a rise in the number of free email users.
Total operating expenses for the quarter were RMB80.1 million (US$9.7 million), representing a 11.5% decrease from the previous quarter’s RMB90.5 million (US$10.9 million) and a 25.8% increase from RMB63.6 million (US$7.7 million) in the corresponding period a year ago. The decrease in total operating expenses as compared with the preceding quarter was mainly due to the RMB20.7 million (US$2.5 million) expense incurred in the preceding quarter resulting from the purchase of a 3D game technology as discussed in the preceding quarter’s earnings release. Without taking into account such 3D game technology expense in the first quarter, the Company’s research and development expenses increased slightly to approximately RMB14.6 million (US$1.8 million) in the second quarter as a result of an increase in headcount for the online game development team.
Denny Lee, NetEase’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “We are pleased that we have been able to continue to deliver strong operating and financial results to our shareholders. The first half of 2005 is a testament to our ability to drive top line growth while maintaining a tight control on expenses, which in turn drove higher net profit margins as our portal enjoyed robust growth. We believe that our strong balance sheet gives us the leverage we need to strategically maintain NetEase’s leadership in the market.”
Mr. Lee added, “The Chinese government’s recent decision to peg the exchange rate of the Chinese Renminbi against a number of currencies, rather than just the U.S. dollar, has caused the Renminbi to appreciate slightly against the dollar. Although we cannot predict the future direction of the Renminbi exchange rates with other currencies, we believe that this appreciated exchange rate with the dollar, if it continues or further appreciation occurs, will tend to have a positive impact on our reported financial results since we generate all of our revenue in Renminbi, which has become more valuable in dollar terms.”
The Company also noted that its effective tax rate decreased in the second quarter because the Company has recently confirmed with the relevant regulators that one of its operating subsidiaries qualifies as a “software company” under the applicable tax regulations and the current practice of the local tax authority. As a result, such subsidiary is entitled to a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 10.5%, instead of the 18% tax rate which applied in the first quarter of 2005.

The Company reported net profit for the second quarter of RMB242.8 million (US$29.3 million), equivalent to US$0.91 (basic) or US$0.83 (diluted) per American Depositary Share (“ADS”). This represents a 57.8% increase over net profit of RMB153.9 million (US$18.6 million) for the preceding quarter and a 147.0% increase over net profit of RMB98.3 million (US$11.9 million) for the corresponding period in 2004.
As of June 30, 2005, the Company’s total cash and held-to-maturity investments balance was RMB2.7 billion (US$329.2 million), a 9.6% increase from the previous quarter’s RMB2.5 billion (US$300.3 million). The Company generated an operating cash flow of RMB255.3 million (US$30.9 million) for the quarter.
Mr. Tong concluded, “I am extremely pleased that we have maintained our position as one of China’s leading Internet portals. We have experienced superior growth in the first half of 2005, and we believe that we are well positioned to capture more market share as the online gaming community becomes larger and more sophisticated. Our current strategy is working well for us. We continue to focus on diversifying and expanding our online game pipeline while at the same time enhance and feed the continued growth of existing in-house developed games. We look forward to the further execution of our strategy to diversify our products and leverage our portal community in order to maintain our strong position in the online game market.”
Other Recent Developments
NetEase also announced today several changes in the composition of its board of directors and board committees. Ronald Lee has resigned from the board, which he had served on since June 2002, with immediate effect. Concurrently, the board elected Messrs.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION
| Note 1: | The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into United States dollars (USD) is based on the noon buying rate of USD1.00 = RMB8.2765 on June 30, 2005 in The City of New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. | |
| Note 2: | When calculating the fully diluted earnings per American Depositary Share (ADS) for the second quarter in 2005, the Company adopted the consensus reached on EITF 04-08, which is effective for periods ended after December 15, 2004. EITF 04-08 is applicable to the Company because the conversion of its zero coupon convertible subordinated notes (the “Convertible Notes”) depends on, among other things, whether the market price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares exceeds a pre-scripted conversion price. Application of the consensus requires the dilutive impact of the Convertible Notes to be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, notwithstanding the fact that the market prices of the Company’s American Depositary Shares in June 2004 and March 2005 did not exceed the pre-scripted conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The EITF 04-08 has been retroactively applied such that the diluted earnings per American Depositary Share for all prior periods were restated. | |
| In accordance with the adoption of EITF 04-08, the weighted average number of diluted ordinary shares and American Depositary Shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per American Depositary Share for the three months ended June 30, 2004, have been revised to include the contingently issuable shares in relation to the Company’s Convertible Notes outstanding as of June 30, 2004. The inclusion of these contingently issuable shares results in a decrease of US$0.01 to the previously reported diluted earnings per American Depositary Share for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. | ||
