Second Quarter 2016 Results
Total net revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were US$14.4 million, representing a 38.5% increase from the corresponding period in 2015.
Advertising and IVAS net revenues were US$7.6 million, representing a 14.6% decrease from the corresponding period of 2015. Advertising revenues were US$0.8 million for the second quarter of 2016, a 78.7% decrease from the corresponding period of 2015. The decrease was due to increasing competition and the continuing migration of our traffic to mobile. Internet Value-Added Services (IVAS) revenues were US$6.8 million, representing a 34.7% increase from the corresponding period in 2015. The increase was mainly due to the revenue from woxiu and the new Renren mobile live streaming revenue started this quarter. Monthly unique log-in users decreased from approximately 45 million in June 2015 to approximately 35 million in June 2016.
Financing income was US$6.8 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to US$1.5 million in the corresponding period of 2015. The increase was in line with the increase of financing receivable from US$62.4 million as of June 30, 2015 to US$207.2 million as of June 30, 2016.
Cost of revenues was US$13.1 million, a 75.4% increase from the corresponding period of 2015.
Operating expenses were US$20.1 million, a 28.7% decrease from the corresponding period of 2015.
Selling and marketing expenses were US$5.2 million, a 40.5% decrease from the corresponding period of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advertising expenses, headcount reductions, and a decrease in personnel related expense.
Research and development expenses were US$4.6 million, a 46.5% decrease from the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to headcount reductions and a decrease in personnel related expense.
General and administrative expenses were US$10.2 million, a 4.9% decrease from the corresponding period in 2015.
Share-based compensation expenses, which were all included in operating expenses, were US$5.5 million, compared to US$6.2 million in the corresponding period in 2015.
Operating loss was US$18.8 million, compared to an operating loss of US$25.3 million in the corresponding period in 2015.

Earnings in equity method investments were US$1.4 million, compared to earnings of US$3.3 million in the corresponding period in 2015.
Net loss attributable to the Company was US$46.1 million, compared to a net loss of US$70.3 million in the corresponding period in 2015.
Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) was US$40.6 million, compared to an adjusted net loss of US$64.3 million in the corresponding period in 2015. Adjusted net loss is defined as loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets.
Business Outlook
The Company expects to generate revenues in an amount ranging from US$17.5 million to US$19.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, representing a 98.4% to 121.1% year-over-year increase, driven by the new Renren mobile live streaming and financing business. This forecast reflects Renren's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.
