 CNinsure Reports First Quarter 2013 Unaudited Financial Results

 

GUANGZHOU, China, May 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CNinsure Inc., (Nasdaq: CISG), (the “Company” or “CNinsure”), a leading independent insurance intermediary company operating in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.1

 

Financial Highlights for First Quarter of 2013

 

lTotal net revenues: RMB401.3 million (US$64.6 million), representing an increase of 18.9% from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

lOperating income: RMB1.6 million (US$0.3 million) representing a decrease of 95.8% from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

lNon-GAAP operating income: RMB14.4 million (US$2.3 million), which excludes share-based compensation expenses, representing a decrease of 66.3% from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

lNet income attributable to the Company’s shareholders: RMB21.0 million (US$3.4 million), representing a decrease of 61.5% from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

lNon-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders: RMB33.8 million (US$5.4 million), which excludes share-based compensation expenses, representing a decrease of 42.4% from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

lBasic and diluted net income per ADS: RMB0.42 (US$0.07) and RMB0.42 (US$0.07), respectively, representing decreases of 61.4% and 61.3%, respectively, from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

lNon-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS: RMB0.68 (US$0.11) and RMB0.67 (US$0.11), respectively, representing decreases of 42.2% and 42.1%, respectively, from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Commenting on the first quarter financial results, Mr. Chunlin Wang, CNinsure’s chief executive officer, stated, “The first quarter of 2013 continued to present challenges for the Chinese insurance industry. Although the property and casualty (“P&C”) insurance market had solid premium growth, fiercer competition among P&C insurance companies resulted in a higher combined ratio and lower profitability for many P&C insurance companies. Life insurance premium growth remained sluggish with weak growth in new policy sales and a sharp increase in policy surrender ratios.

“Against this backdrop, during the first quarter of 2013, our total net revenues were up 18.9% year-on-year, beating our previous guidance, while gross margin declined. Revenue growth was largely attributable to volume growth in our claims adjusting and P&C businesses, as well as a further increase in commission rate for auto insurance due to intensified competition in the auto insurance market. These higher commission rates also directly squeezed our gross margin. In our life insurance segment, new policy sales continued to drop year-on-year, but at a slower pace as compared to the previous quarter, with net revenues derived from life insurance flat compared with the previous year, benefiting from our continued high persistency ratio. We believe that our high persistency ratio is a reflection of our high service levels and a defendable competitive advantage which will pay off as the life insurance business rebounds.

 

“The financial results for the first quarter of 2013 also reflect a key decision made by management during the Company’s strategic transformation. In view of the continuing increases in the commission costs of our P&C business and the growth slowdown of our life insurance business, we have decided to focus resources on developing our e-commerce business and strengthening our ability to offer comprehensive financial products and services which we believe will become our new growth engines. However, before these two areas start to make meaningful contribution, it is crucial for us to keep the stability of our organization, sales team and operation, maintain our bargain power and safeguard our market position, in order to pave the way for a successful transition to these new areas of focus.

 

“We are encouraged by the achievements we made on these two initiatives during the first quarter of 2013. We are continuing the pilot of the CNpad, the workstation for our proprietary mobile sales support system, which contributed over RMB19 million insurance premiums during the first quarter of 2013. In addition, we distributed over RMB190 million worth of wealth management products during the first quarter of 2013.

 

Mr. Wang concluded, “We believe that we are on the right track and remain confident that the changes we are implementing will bring the Company back to high volume growth and strong profitability.”

 

Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2013

 

Total net revenues were RMB401.3 million (US$64.6 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 18.9% from RMB337.3 million for the corresponding period in 2012, primarily due to increases in net revenues from our P&C insurance and claims adjusting business segments. The increase in the P&C business segment was mainly driven by increases in commission rates received from insurance underwriters and volume growth. The growth of the claims adjusting segment was mainly attributable to growth in the auto insurance-related claims adjusting business. Net revenues from commissions and fees derived from the P&C insurance, life insurance and claims adjusting businesses for the first quarter of 2013 contributed 70.5%, 16.5%, and 13.0% of the Company’s total net revenues, respectively, compared to 67.6%, 19.4% and 13.0%, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2012.

Total operating costs and expenses were RMB399.7 million (US$64.3 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 33.8% from RMB298.7 million for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Commissions and fees expenses were RMB297.2 million (US$47.8 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 39.2% from RMB213.5 million for the corresponding period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to further increases in commissions paid to our P&C sales agents caused by (i) higher commission rates in the auto insurance market as a result of increased competition among P&C insurance companies, and (ii) increased per policy acquisition costs largely because of expenses incurred in competing with telemarketing channels of certain P&C insurance companies.

 

Selling expenses were RMB20.1 million (US$3.2 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 7.6% from RMB18.7 million for the corresponding period in 2012, primarily due to growth in sales volume.

 

General and administrative expenses were RMB82.4 million (US$13.3 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 23.8% from RMB66.5 million for the corresponding period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to the following factors:

 

(1) an increase of 211.9% in share-based compensation expenses, from RMB4.1 million for the first quarter of 2012 to RMB12.8 million (US$2.1 million) for the first quarter of 2013. Share-based compensation expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were mainly associated with the grant of certain stock options in March, 2012;

 

(2) an increase of 11.5% in payroll and social insurance expenses from RMB30.4 million for the first quarter of 2012 to RMB33.9 million (US$5.5 million) for the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to pay raises for our administrative staff; and

 

(3) an increase of 41.6% in depreciation expense from RMB4.3 million for the first quarter of 2012 to RMB6.2 million (US$1.0 million) for the first quarter of 2013 due to the purchase of more fixed assets for our e-commerce operation during 2012.

 

As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income was RMB1.6 million (US$0.3 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 95.8% from RMB38.7 million for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Non-GAAP operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses was RMB14.4 million (US$2.3 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 66.3% from RMB42.8 million for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Operating margin was 0.4% for the first quarter of 2013, compared with 11.5% for the corresponding period in 2012. Non-GAAP operating margin was 3.6% for the first quarter of 2013, compared with 12.7% for the corresponding period in 2012.

Interest income was RMB21.5 million (US$3.5 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 4.1% from RMB22.5 million for the corresponding period in 2012. The slight decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the bank interest rate from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Income tax expense was RMB6.2 million (US$1.0 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 54.5% from RMB13.7 million for the corresponding period in 2012 due to the significant decrease in operating income. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was 26.8% compared with 22.1% for the corresponding period in 2012. The increase in effective tax rate was mainly due to the increase in share-based compensation expenses which are non tax-deductible.

 

Net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders was RMB21.0 million (US$3.4 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 61.5% from RMB54.6 million for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Net margin was 5.2% for the first quarter of 2013 compared with 16.2% for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, which excludes share-based compensation expense was RMB33.8 million (US$5.4 million) for the first quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 42.4% from RMB58.7 million for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Non-GAAP net margin was 8.4% for the first quarter of 2013 compared with 17.4% for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Basic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB0.42 (US$0.07) and RMB0.42 (US$0.07) for the first quarter of 2013, respectively; representing decreases of 61.4% and 61.3% from RMB1.09 and RMB1.08 for the corresponding period in 2012, respectively.

 

Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB0.68 (US$0.11) and RMB0.67 (US$0.11) for the first quarter of 2013, respectively; representing decreases of 42.2% and 42.1% from RMB1.17 and RMB1.16 for the corresponding period in 2012, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had RMB2.5 billion (US$395.8 million) in cash and cash equivalents.

 

Recent developments:

 

lAs of March 31, 2013, CNinsure’s distribution and service network consisted of 481 sales and services outlets operating in 27 provinces, compared with 532 sales and service outlets operating in 26 provinces as of March 31, 2012. CNinsure had 47,312 sales agents and representatives, and 1,258 professional claims adjustors as of March 31, 2013, compared with 47,425 sales agents and representatives, and 1,337 professional claims adjustors as of March 31, 2012. The decrease in the number of sales outlets was primarily because we shut down some sales outlets which were less productive primarily during the second and third quarter of 2012.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to the Company’s consolidated financial results under GAAP, the Company also provides non-GAAP financial measures, which are adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expenses. 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. One limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude the items that were significant in the first quarter of 2013 and the corresponding period of 2012. Another is that items such as share-based compensation expenses have been, and will continue to be, a significant recurring factor in our business.

 

In light of the limitations, 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. We encourage investors and other interested persons to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this release.
