Focus Media Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results

SHANGHAI, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Focus Media Holding Limited (NASDAQ:FMCN), China's largest digital media group, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Basis of Presentation

On December 22, 2008, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with SINA Corporation ("SINA") to sell substantially all of the assets of Focus Media's digital out-of-home advertising networks, including the LCD display network, poster frame network and certain in-store network. The assets to be sold to SINA were recorded as an asset group held-for-sale in accordance with US GAAP, and were not depreciated or amortized nor were they subject to the same impairment analysis as assets held and used in continuing operations. Therefore, the GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures related to the asset group to be sold to SINA for the quarters ended on March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 did not include any amortization or depreciation expenses related to the intangible and fixed assets or impairment of fixed assets. On September 28, 2009, the Company and SINA jointly reached a decision not to extend the deadline of the agreement announced on December 22, 2008. As such, the assets proposed to be sold to SINA, were reclassified for financial reporting purpose, as assets to be held and used. In accordance with US GAAP, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $17.0 million on September 28, which represented the cumulative catch-up of depreciation expenses the Company would have recorded during the period from December 22, 2008 to June 30, 2009. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company also announced that it would cease expansion of its digital poster frame networks and, in response to a regulation promulgated by Shanghai Municipality Government in early 2009, the operation of its boat-based advertising platform on the Huangpu River. In accordance with US GAAP, the digital poster frame and the boat-based advertising platform, as part of the asset group to be sold to SINA, were not subject to the same impairment analysis as assets held and used in continuing operations. With the termination of the agreement with SINA in the third quarter of 2009, the assets were reevaluated for impairment, resulting in the Company impairing these assets and recording an impairment charge of $36.0 million in cost of sales for the third quarter of 2009.

The effect of the cumulative catch-up depreciation expenses amounted to $17.0 million, without considering tax effect, and was recorded as cost of sales in both our GAAP and Non-GAAP measures.

In August 2009, the Company started to negotiate with the ex-shareholders of various subsidiaries within the Internet division to sell back part of the equity interests held by the Company in those entities in exchange for the reduction of future earn-out payments. Some of these partial equity disposal transactions were closed towards the end of August. As a result, some of these entities no longer met the criteria for consolidation and were therefore deconsolidated and accounted for as cost or equity method investments from September 2009 onwards. The Company consolidated, in the third quarter of 2009, the results of operations from these entities up to the date of the partial equity disposal transactions. The total net revenues and gross profit for these entities included in the Company's consolidated statement of income for the third quarter of 2009 was $28.6million and $5.1 million, respectively, without considering tax effect. The net revenues and gross profit from these entities will no longer be consolidated by the Company after the dates of the partial equity disposal transactions.

Highlights for Third Quarter 2009:
-- Total net revenue for third quarter 2009 was $166.6 million, declining
3% from $171.3 million for the second quarter of 2009 and declining 26%

periods. The high end of the Company's previous guidance for the
continuing operations was $47 million for the third quarter of 2009.

results of operation for the third quarter of 2009 was $16.9 million or

operations) was $141.5 million as of September 30, 2009, a decline of

receivable for the movie theatre and outdoor traditional billboard
network and Internet advertising services (previously classified within
continuing operations), was $113.2 million as of September 30, 2009, a
decline of 11% from $127.0 million as of June 30, 2009.
-- Capital expenditures were $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2009.
-- Contingent earn-out payments related to historical acquisitions paid in
the third quarter of 2009 were $5.3 million, mostly attributable to
poster frame network.

Jason Jiang, chairman and CEO of Focus Media said, "During this quarter, we have been doing restructurings on multiple business divisions, which lined up as follows: Firstly, we partially disposed of our equity ownership in some acquired subsidiaries in the Internet advertising service division and outdoor traditional billboard division. As a result, we expect to significantly reduce the potential earn-out payments in these two business divisions in the future. Secondly, we terminated the acquisition contracts or renegotiated the earn-out payments with a few under-performing subsidiaries in our poster frame division and meanwhile, expedited the integration of those subsidiaries acquired in previous years. In this way, we enhanced the control over these subsidiaries and, on the other hand, significantly reduced the contingent earn-out payments as well. Though during the past few quarters our poster frame business has performed less satisfactorily due to multiple reasons, such as changes in senior management, the ongoing renegotiation over earn-out payments, fierce competition and over-investment in fixed assets in previous years, we believe that this business division will be back on track with the progress of our integration processes and we expect to see improvement for the fourth quarter and the following quarters. Thirdly, the termination of the agreement with SINA in this quarter enabled us to reevaluate some non-performing assets on our balance sheet, such as the idle digital frames due to ceasing expansion of our digital frame network and the boat-based advertising platform in response to certain new regulations. As a result of these reevaluations, we made impairment charges of $38.8 million on those assets. Through the above mentioned measures, we believe that the assets impairment and disposal losses, which have been negatively affecting our company since the last quarter of 2008 will come to the end by early 2010."

Jason continued, "Going forward, we will focus on our core business and primarily seek organic growth. At the same time, financial discipline will be rigorously followed in our decision-making processes."

The aggregate subscription price was $142,425,000. On November 20, 2009, the Company announced the completion of this subscription.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to Focus Media's consolidated financial results under GAAP, the Company also provides non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating profit (loss) and non-GAAP net income, all excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, loss from disposal of previously acquired subsidiaries, impairment charges of certain assets, including acquired intangible assets, goodwill, impairment and termination charges related to ceasing expansion of digital poster frame networks and boat-based advertising platform, write-off of receivables from ex-shareholders of disposed business and one-off charges from expensing IPO expenditures as a result of termination of IPO process of Allyes. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with another method for assessing Focus Media's operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies, and should refer to the reconciliation of GAAP results with non-GAAP results in the attached financial information. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of Focus Media and when planning and forecasting future periods. The Company computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation between these financial measures.
