Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2009
Total net revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009 were RMB355.5 million (US$52.1 million), representing an increase of 26.3% from RMB281.4 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase was primarily driven by the significant growth of the life insurance business, and the increase in performance bonuses paid by life insurers as a result of growth in sales volume and more contracts entered into with life insurers at group levels.
Total operating costs and expenses were RMB245.3 million (US$35.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 6.2% from RMB230.9 million for the corresponding period of 2008, and an increase of 21.9% from adjusted operating costs and expenses of RMB201.2 million (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2008, which excluded a one-time charge of RMB29.6 million in share-based compensation expenses in the fourth quarter of 2008 that was associated with the surrender and cancellation of options to purchase an aggregate of 30,804,500 ordinary shares by various option holders.
Commissions and fees expenses were RMB177.2 million (US$26.0 million) for the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 21.5% from RMB145.9 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase was primarily due to sales growth and largely tracked the increase in net revenues from commissions and fees.
Selling expenses were RMB15.3 million (US$2.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 146.8% from RMB6.2 million for the corresponding period of 2008, primarily due to sales growth and the increase in expenses incurred by newly acquired entities.
General and administrative expenses were RMB52.8 million (US$7.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2009, representing a decrease of 33.0% from RMB78.8 million for the corresponding period of 2008, and an increase of 7.5% from adjusted general and administrative expenses of RMB49.1 million (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2008, which excluded the aforementioned one-time share-based compensation expense. The increase was primarily due to the following factors:
(1) increases in depreciation of fixed assets as a result of the commencement of the operation of the upgraded IT system in affiliated entities in 2009; and
(2) increases in amortization of intangible assets as a result of the acquisitions that we made in 2008 and 2009;
As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations was RMB110.2 million (US$16.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 117.8% from RMB50.6 million for the corresponding period of 2008, and an increase of 37.4% from adjusted income from operations of RMB80.2 million (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2008, which excluded the aforementioned one-time share-based compensation expense. Operating margin was 31.0% for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to 18.0% for the corresponding period of 2008.

Interest income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was RMB7.2 million (US$1.1 million), representing a decrease of 36.8% from RMB11.4 million for the corresponding period of 2008, primarily due to a decrease in bank deposit interest rates.
Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2009 was RMB28.3 million (US$4.2 million), representing an increase of 60.8% from RMB17.6 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to the increases of operating income and effective income tax rate in Shenzhen from 18% in 2008 to 20% in 2009. The effective income tax rate applicable to the Company was 24.1% for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to 28.3% for the corresponding period of 2008.
Net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders was RMB93.8 million (US$13.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 114.4% from RMB43.7 million for the corresponding period of 2008, and an increase of 27.8% from adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders of RMB73.4 million (non-GAAP) for the corresponding period of 2008, which excluded the aforementioned share-based compensation expense.
Net margin was 26.4% for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to 15.6% for the corresponding period of 2008.
Basic net income per ADS was RMB2.055 (US$0.301) for the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 114.4% from RMB0.959 for the corresponding period of 2008. Fully diluted net income per ADS was RMB1.995 (US$0.292) for the fourth quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 109.1% from RMB0.954 for the corresponding period of 2008.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had RMB1,457.9 million (US$213.6 million) in cash and cash equivalents.
Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2009
Total net revenues for fiscal year 2009 were RMB1,154.9 million (US$169.2 million), representing an increase of 36.8% from RMB844.0 million in fiscal year 2008.
The increase was primarily attributable to (1) enhanced sales and marketing efforts with the number of sales agents increasing by 33.9% year-over-year to 38,675 and claims adjusters increasing by 86.6% year-over-year to 1,556 in 2009 respectively; (2) newly acquired and established entities, including the subsidiaries under the Datong segment; and (3) the increase in performance bonuses paid by life insurers as a result of growth in sales volume and more contracts entered into with life insurers at group levels.

Total operating costs and expenses were RMB828.7 million (US$121.4 million) for fiscal year 2009, representing an increase of 30.7% from RMB634.2 million in fiscal year 2008, and an increase of 37.1% from adjusted operating costs and expenses of RMB604.5 million (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2008, which excluded the aforementioned one-time share-based compensation expense.
Commissions and fees expenses were RMB579.9 million (US$85.0 million) for fiscal year 2009, representing an increase of 32.8% from RMB436.8 million in fiscal year 2008. The increase was primarily due to sales growth and largely tracked the increase in net revenues from commissions and fees.
Selling expenses were RMB49.5 million (US$7.3 million) for fiscal year 2009, representing an increase of 186.1% from RMB17.3 million in fiscal year 2008. The increase was primarily due to the establishment of more new branches and subsidiaries under the Datong and Claims Adjusting segments and an increase in sales promotion expenses.
General and administrative expenses were RMB199.2 million (US$29.2 million) for fiscal year 2009, representing an increase of 10.7% from RMB180.0 million in fiscal year 2008, and an increase of 32.4% from adjusted general and administrative expenses of RMB150.4 million (non-GAAP) in fiscal year 2008, which excluded the aforementioned one-time share-based compensation expense. The increase was primarily due to the following factors:
(1) increases in depreciation of fixed assets as a result of the commencement of the operation of our upgraded IT system in affiliated entities in 2009;
(2) increases in headcount, primarily as result of the recruitment of more high-caliber senior managers, and higher base salaries for the managerial and administrative staff;
(3) increases in amortization of intangible assets as a result of the acquisitions we made in 2008 and 2009; and
(4) increases in office rental expenses and expenses incurred by newly acquired entities and the expansion of distribution and service network.
As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations was RMB326.2 million (US$47.8 million) for fiscal year 2009, representing an increase of 55.5% from RMB209.8 million in fiscal year 2008, and an increase of 36.3% from adjusted income from operations of RMB239.4 million (non-GAAP) in fiscal year 2008, which excluded the aforementioned one-time charge of share-based compensation expense recognized in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Income tax expense for fiscal year 2009 was RMB95.6 million (US$14.0 million), representing an increase of 53.2% from RMB62.4 million in fiscal year 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of operating income and the increase of effective income tax rate in Shenzhen from 18% in 2008 to 20% in 2009.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement CNinsure’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, CNinsure uses in this release the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted total operating costs and expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted net income from operations and adjusted net income attributable the Company’s shareholders, which exclude the one-time charge of RMB 29.6 million recognized as share-based compensation expenses in the fourth quarter of 2008, as a result of the surrender and cancellation of options to purchase an aggregate of 30,804,500 ordinary shares by various option holders in December 2008. 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 GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures” set forth at the end of this release.
CNinsure believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its operating results. The Company 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. A limitation of using adjusted operating costs and expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted operating income and adjusted net income is that these non-GAAP measures exclude the one-time share-based compensation charge that was a significant expense in the fourth quarter of 2008. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
