BEIJING and SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 28 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASIA), ("AsiaInfo-Linkage" or the "Company") a leading provider of telecom software solutions and IT security products and services in China, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2010.

AsiaInfo-Linkage's Chief Executive Officer, Steve Zhang, commented, "We are pleased with our strong financial results this quarter, achieving a record high operating margin and year-over-year non-GAAP EPS growth of 35 percent. In the second quarter, we worked to close our merger with Linkage, which was successfully completed on July 1st. We have already witnessed positive momentum resulting from our merger. Specifically, we recently won new market share in our China Telecom account in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and successfully started to cross-sell Internet data center operation management products for Jiangsu Mobile. Overall, the integration process has moved along rather smoothly and we are starting to realize the synergies. Besides our core revenue drivers, we are pleased that our cable BSS business has started to contribute more meaningful revenue as our overseas business development team explores opportunities to grow in Southeast Asia."

    (1) Net revenue (non-GAAP), a non-GAAP measure, represents total revenue
        net of third-party hardware costs. A reconciliation of net revenue
       (non-GAAP) to GAAP revenue is provided at the end of this press release.
    (2) Operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) is operating income divided
        by net revenue (non-GAAP).

Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results

On July 1, 2010, AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc. ("AsiaInfo") completed its merger with IT software and solutions provider Linkage Technologies International Holdings Limited ("Linkage") and was renamed AsiaInfo-Linkage. Starting in the third quarter of 2010, AsiaInfo-Linkage will consolidate Linkage's operating results and financial position.

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was US$66.9 million, an increase of 14.2% year-over-year and 5.4% sequentially. Meeting guidance, net revenue (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2010 was US$65.6 million, an increase of 22.9% year-over-year and 6.2% sequentially. The year-over-year and sequential increases were driven by strong demand from China's major telecom carriers.

During the quarter, gross margin was 59.4%, compared to 49.1% in the year-ago period and 61.5% in the previous quarter. The slight sequential decrease in gross margin is in line with historical gross margin levels and the year-over-year increase was primarily due to a strong contribution from higher-margin software solutions and services projects during the second quarter. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue (non-GAAP) was 60.6% in the second quarter of 2010, compared to 53.9% in the year-ago period and 63.2% in the previous quarter.

In the second quarter of 2010, the AsiaInfo Technologies business unit, which focuses on telecommunications software and services, contributed 88.7% to both total revenue and net revenue (non-GAAP). Total revenue for the AsiaInfo Technologies business unit increased 12.5% year-over-year and 0.1% sequentially to US$59.3 million. Net revenue (non-GAAP) for the AsiaInfo Technologies business unit increased 21.3% year-over-year and 0.8% sequentially to US$58.1 million. The year-over-year increase in net revenue (non-GAAP) mainly reflects demand from telecom carriers in China and a steady inflow of contract tenders to upgrade and maintain existing installations.

In the second quarter of 2010, the Lenovo-AsiaInfo business unit, which focuses on IT security products and services, contributed 11.3% both to total revenue and net revenue (non-GAAP). Total revenue for the Lenovo-AsiaInfo business unit increased 28.9% year-over-year and 79.2% sequentially to US$7.6 million. Net revenue (non-GAAP) for the Lenovo-AsiaInfo business unit increased 36.6% year-over-year and 82.9% sequentially to US$7.4 million. The year-over-year increase reflects customers' demand for professional consultants to assist in the installation and maintenance of IT solutions. Sequentially, the notable increase is primarily due to seasonality, as sales in the Lenovo-AsiaInfo business unit are typically the weakest in the first quarter. Please refer to the end of this press release for condensed segmented financial results for AsiaInfo-Linkage's two business units.

Total operating expenses increased 12.6% year-over-year and decreased 10.0% sequentially to US$25.2 million. The sequential decrease was primarily due to non-recurring merger-related expenses as well as a bad debt provision in the first quarter. Sales and marketing expenses increased 8.8% year-over-year and 4.8% sequentially to US$10.8 million. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher sales commission expenses incurred upon signing new contracts. General and administrative expenses increased 25.9% year-over-year and decreased 46.9% sequentially to US$4.6 million. The year-over-year increase was largely the result of merger-related expenses and the sequential decrease was primarily due to US$3.5 million in merger-related expenses incurred in the first quarter. Research and development expenses increased 11.2% year-over- year and 8.7% sequentially to US$9.8 million, which mainly reflect the Company's need to continue to develop best-of-class products and upgrades to meet the demand of customers.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2010 was US$14.5 million, an increase of 126.9% year-over-year and a 31.6% sequentially. Operating margin of total revenue(3) was 21.7% for the second quarter of 2010, compared to 10.9% in the year-ago period and 17.4% in the previous quarter. Operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) was 22.2% for the second quarter of 2010, compared to 12.0% in the year-ago period and 17.9% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year and sequential margin improvement were mainly the result of improved operational efficiency and reduced sales costs.

Other income for the second quarter of 2010 was US$1.4 million, a decrease of 19.5% from US$1.8 million in the year-ago period and an increase of 112.5% from US$665,000 in the previous quarter.

In the second quarter of 2010, AsiaInfo-Linkage recorded net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. of US$13.9 million, or US$0.29 per basic share, compared to US$7.2 million, or US$0.16 per basic share, in the year-ago period and US$10.3 million, or US$0.22 per basic share, in the previous quarter.

Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP)(4) was US$16.7 million in the second quarter of 2010, or US$0.35 per basic share. Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) in the year-ago period was US$11.4 million, or US$0.26 per basic share. Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) in the previous quarter was US$16.2 million, or US$0.34 per basic share. Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) increased 46.9% year-over-year and 3.1% sequentially.

As of June 30, 2010, AsiaInfo-Linkage had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling US$230.0 million and short-term investments totaling US$44.2 million. Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2010 was a net outflow of approximately US$15.6 million. The negative operating cash flow was primarily the result of annual bonus payouts and a seasonal collection slowdown.

    (3) Operating margin of total revenue is operating income divided by total
        revenue.
    (4) Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) and net
        income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) per share
        measures exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of
        acquired intangible assets, after-tax dividend income, and non-
        recurring merger related expenses. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP
        measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided at
        the end of the press release.

Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) was US$32.9 million or US$0.69 per basic share in the first half of 2010, an increase of 78.1% year-over-year.

Business Outlook

Starting in the third quarter of 2010, AsiaInfo-Linkage will consolidate Linkage's operating results and financial position.

The Company noted that its third quarter 2010 net revenue (non-GAAP) guidance accounts for temporary project delays in its China Unicom and China Telecom accounts.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release presents the following "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined by applicable U.S. securities regulations. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional information to help both management and investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent and more meaningful basis and enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and prospects for the future. These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all items of income and expenses that impact the Company's operations. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering the Company's GAAP results. The non- GAAP financial measures the Company uses are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered an alternative to measurements required by GAAP and should not be considered measures of the Company's liquidity. Pursuant to relevant regulatory requirements, we are providing the following reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

(1) Net revenue (non-GAAP)

AsiaInfo-Linkage's net revenue (non-GAAP) represents total revenue net of hardware costs that are passed through to our customers. We believe total revenues net of hardware costs more accurately reflects our core business, which is the provision of software solutions and services, and provides transparency to our investors. It is also the same measure used by our management to evaluate the competitiveness and development of our business.
