CNinsure Reports Third Quarter 2013 Unaudited Financial Results

 

GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 21, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 20131.

 

Financial Highlights for Third Quarter of 2013

 

·Total net revenues: RMB430.6 million (US$70.4 million), representing an increase of 6.9% from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

·Operating income: RMB1.8 million (US$0.3 million), representing a decrease of 39.1% from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

·Net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders: RMB29.0 million (US$4.7 million), representing an increase of 26.0% from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

·Adjusted EBITDA: RMB28.0million (US$4.6 million), representing a decrease of 10.2% from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

·Basic and diluted net income per ADS: RMB0.58(US$0.09) and RMB0.58(US$0.09), respectively, representing increases of 26.5% and 26.6%, respectively, from the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Commenting on the third quarter financial results, Mr Chunlin Wang, CNinsure’s chief executive officer, stated, “We are in the midst of a fundamental change in China moving from a low cost country to a high productivity one. Amid this change, we have been able to continue to grow our top line while transiting the Company, and we start to see some positive signs during the third quarter 2013. Gross margin for the third quarter 2013 improved sequentially, primarily driven by a rebound in gross margin of our property and casualty insurance (“P&C”) business both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. The magnitude of the decline in operating income has also narrowed significantly as compared to the last six quarters. This quarter’s financial results reaffirmed our confidence in a recovery in profitability in the coming quarters.

 

“Significant progress has been made on the application of mobile technology. As of the end of third quarter 2013, total number of CNpad sold hit 2,190 units, generating RMB90 million insurance premiums in aggregate. In addition, we are getting ready for a trial operation of CNpad that enables the sales of life insurance, wealth management, private equity fund and mutual fund products in selected cities in a couple of weeks. We believe additional product offerings will significantly enhance the competitiveness of CNpad, which is expected to help agents improve their efficiency and broaden their revenue sources.”

 

He continued, “We have successfully completed the organizational restructuring which we believe will enable a more centralized operation and generate more cross selling opportunities for our sales agents. We expect the benefits of the restructuring will be gradually realized over the next few quarters.”

Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2013

 

Total net revenues were RMB430.6 million (US$70.4 million) for the third quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 6.9% from RMB403.0 million for the corresponding period in 2012, primarily attributable to increases in net revenues from our P&C insurance and claims adjusting business segments, offsetting the decline in net revenues from our life insurance business segment mostly due to shifted focus to the sales of protection insurance products which has lower average premium per policy compared to participating insurance products, although the number of insurance policies sold during the third quarter of 2013 remained flat year-over-year. The increase in the P&C business segment was mainly driven by increases in both sales volume and commission rates received from insurance underwriters, while 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 third quarter of 2013 contributed 72.2%, 13.0%, and 14.8% of the Company’s total net revenues, respectively, compared to 70.6%, 15.2% and 14.2%, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Total operating costs and expenses were RMB428.8 million (US$70.1 million) for the third quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 7.2% from RMB400.1 million for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Commissions and fees expenses were RMB317.3 million (US$51.9 million) for the third quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 7.8% from RMB294.3 million for the corresponding period in 2012. The increase mainly related to sales growth.

 

Selling expenses were RMB27.3 million (US$4.5 million) for the third quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 40.6% from RMB19.4 million for the corresponding period in 2012, primarily due to increases in staff salary, travel, gasoline and office expenses mostly incurred by the claims adjusting business segment due to staff increase.

 

General and administrative expenses were RMB84.2 million (US$13.8 million) for the third quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 2.6% from RMB86.4 million for the corresponding period in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the net effect of the following factors:

 

(1) a decrease of 42.0% in share-based compensation expenses, from RMB13.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 to RMB7.6 million (US$1.2 million) for the third quarter of 2013. Share-based compensation expenses for the third quarter of 2013 were mainly associated with stock options granted to certain employees in March 2012, which were recognized on an accelerated basis and such expenses have decreased each period since the grant; offset by

 

(2) an increase of 13.3% in depreciation expense from RMB5.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 to RMB5.9 million (US$1.0 million) for the third quarter of 2013 due to the purchase of more fixed assets for our e-commerce operations in December 2012.

 

As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations was RMB1.8 million (US$0.3 million) for the third quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 39.1% from RMB2.9 million for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Operating margin was 0.4% for the third quarter of 2013, compared with 0.7% for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Interest income was RMB20.7 million (US$3.4 million) for the third quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 18.2% from RMB25.3 million for the corresponding period in 2012. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the bank deposits as we increased short-term investments.

Income tax expense was RMB4.7 million (US$0.8 million) for the third quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 62.8% from RMB12.7 million for the corresponding period in 2012 due to the high base effect as a result of increased share-based compensation expenses for the third quarter of 2012 which were non-tax deductible and the internal sales of fixed assets which incurred taxable income for the third quarter of 2012 although such intercompany income has been eliminated on the consolidated financial statements. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 was 17.6% compared with 44.7% for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders was RMB29.0 million (US$4.7 million) for the third quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 26.0% from RMB23.0 million for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Net margin was 6.7% for the third quarter of 2013 compared with 5.7% for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Basic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB0.58(US$0.09) and RMB0.58(US$0.09) for the third quarter of 2013, respectively, representing increases of 26.5% and 26.6% from RMB0.46 and RMB0.46 for the corresponding period in 2012, respectively.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was RMB28.0 million (US$4.6million) for the third quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 10.2% from RMB31.1 million for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.5% for the third quarter of 2013 compared with 7.7% for the corresponding period in 2012.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had RMB2.3 billion (US$370.9 million) in cash and cash equivalents.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to the Company’s consolidated financial results under GAAP, the Company also provides adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before income tax expense, investment income and interest income, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by total net revenues. 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 third quarter of 2013 and the corresponding period of 2012, and these items 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 Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin” set forth at the end of this release.
