BEIJING and SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 23 /Xinhua-EMWNews/
-- AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASIA), (''AsiaInfo'' 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 ended June 30, 2008.
''I'm delighted to report robust revenue growth and improved operating
margin during the second quarter,'' said Steve Zhang, AsiaInfo's president
and chief executive officer. ''In light of the recently announced telecom
industry restructuring, we are strategically working with carriers to
prepare their IT systems for a post-restructuring environment of
intensified competition. AsiaInfo is poised to benefit as carriers expand
their IT spending in order to differentiate their service offerings, and
I'm confident that we will continue to grow alongside the rapidly evolving
telecom industry in China.''
Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was US$42.1 million, an
increase of 42.2% year over year and 20.1% sequentially. Exceeding
guidance, net revenue (Non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2008 was US$34.4
million, an increase of 29.5% year over year and 12.1% sequentially. The
year-over-year and sequential increases were mainly driven by strong uptake
for the Company's software and service solutions.
In the second quarter, the Company announced several significant
contracts with China's major telecom carriers including an agreement with
Northern Telecom and Xinjiang Telecom to develop operational data store
systems and with Zhejiang Telecom to implement an online charging system.
The Company also won a tender with Guizhou Mobile to provide call center
solutions.
In the second quarter of 2008, gross margin was 45.3% compared to 49.0%
in the year-ago period and 51.0% in the previous quarter. The Company noted
that the decrease in gross margin primarily reflects an increase in the
percentage of revenue generated from third-party hardware in response to
customer requests, which has a lower gross margin than its core software
and service revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue (Non-GAAP)
was 55.4% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 54.5% in the year-ago
period and 58.1% in the previous quarter. The Company noted that gross
margin of net revenue (Non-GAAP) has remained relatively stable for the
last several quarters.
In the second quarter of 2008, AsiaInfo's telecom business contributed
87.4% to total revenue and 87.9% to net revenue (Non-GAAP). Total revenue
for AsiaInfo's telecom business increased 45.5% year over year and 14.6%
sequentially to US$36.8 million. Net revenue (Non-GAAP) for AsiaInfo's
telecom business increased 31.2% year over year and 8.2% sequentially to
US$30.3 million. The increases reflect strong uptake for the Company's
software and service solutions, which help telecom carriers manage and
diversify their service offerings.
In the second quarter of 2008, the Lenovo-AsiaInfo business unit
contributed 12.6% to total revenue and 12.1% to net revenue (Non-GAAP).
Total revenue for the Lenovo-AsiaInfo business unit increased 23.0% year
over year and 81.3% sequentially to US$5.3 million. Net revenue (Non-GAAP)
for the Lenovo-AsiaInfo business unit increased 18.4% year over year and
51.8% sequentially to US$4.2 million. The year-over-year increases reflect
a concerted effort to improve operations in this division. Sequentially,
the notable increase is mainly due to seasonality, which is strongest
during the first quarter of the year. Please refer to the end of this press
release for condensed segmented financial results for AsiaInfo's two
business units.
Income from operations for the second quarter of 2008 was US$3.6
million, an increase of 198.0% year over year and 33.0% sequentially,
primarily as a result of improving economies of scale and the Company's
efforts to improve operational efficiency. Sales and marketing expenses
increased 23.4% year over year and 4.0% sequentially to US$8.2 million,
mainly due to increased sales headcount and higher accrued sales commission
expenses, which were a result of a higher number of new contracts. General
and administrative expenses decreased 9.0% year over year and 13.8%
sequentially to US$2.2 million, mainly due to lower bad debt provisions as
a result of improving accounts receivable collection. Research and
development expenses increased 20.9% year over year and 8.0% sequentially,
to US$5.0 million, mainly reflecting an increase in headcount in line with
the Company's strategy of continuing to invest in research and development
capabilities to position it for future market opportunities.
Operating margin of total revenue was 8.5% for the second quarter of
2008, compared to 4.0% in the year-ago period and 7.7% in the previous
quarter. Operating margin of net revenue (Non-GAAP) was 10.3% for the
second quarter of 2008, compared to 4.5% in the year-ago period and 8.7% in
the previous quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were
mainly the result of the Company's efforts to improve operational
efficiency.
Other income for the second quarter of 2008 was US$3.3 million, an
increase of 75.2% year over year and 39.4% sequentially. The year-over-year
and sequential increases were mainly due to higher returns on short-term
investments.
In the second quarter of 2008, AsiaInfo recorded net income of US$5.2
million or US$0.12 per basic share, compared to US$2.5 million or US$0.06
per basic share in the year-ago period and US$5.3 million or US$0.12 per
basic share in the previous quarter. The significant year-over-year
increase was mainly due to strong demand for the Company's telecom software
products and solutions and overall operating efficiency, which expanded
operating margins during the quarter.
Net income excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization,
after-tax dividend income and gain on discontinued operations (net income
(Non-GAAP)(5) was US$6.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 or US$0.14
per basic share. Net income (Non-GAAP) in the year-ago period was US$3.8
million or US$0.09 per basic share. Net income (Non-GAAP) in the previous
quarter was US$5.2 million or US$0.12 per basic share. Net income
(Non-GAAP) increased 63.2% year over year and 19.2% sequentially.
As of June 30, 2008, AsiaInfo had cash and cash equivalents, restricted
cash and short-term investments totaling US$217.8 million. Operating cash
flow in the second quarter of 2008 was a net inflow of approximately US$4.0
million.

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.

total revenue.
(4) Operating margin of net revenue (Non-GAAP) is operating margin
divided by net revenue (Non-GAAP).

compensation expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible
assets, after-tax dividend income, gain on discontinued operations,
and gain on settlement of escrow. A reconciliation of these non-
GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided at
the end of the press release.

operations per basic share to be in the range of US$0.13 to US$0.14. Net
income from continuing operations per basic share in the third quarter of
2007 was US$0.14, which included a higher than normal dividend income of
US$3.3 million. Excluding this impact, the Company's third quarter 2008
guidance would represent an increase of 86% to 100% year over year.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
This earnings release contains presentations of 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, measurement 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 nearest comparable GAAP measures.
(1) Net revenue (Non-GAAP)
AsiaInfo'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.

(2) Net income (Non-GAAP) Net income (Non-GAAP) excludes certain expenses and income, including
share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible
assets, after-tax dividend income, gain on discontinued operations, and
gain on settlement of escrow. We believe that this non-GAAP financial
measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our
performance by excluding certain expenses and income that may not be
indicative of our operating performance. Management uses the net income
(Non-GAAP) measure to gain a better understanding of the Company's
comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis of
planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes net income
(Non-GAAP) measure, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP net
income measure and other GAAP financials, provides useful information to
investors by offering: a) the ability to make more meaningful
period-to-period comparisons of the Company's on-going operating results;
b) the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying
business and perform related trend analysis; c) a better understanding of
how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business; and d)
an easier way to compare the Company's most recent results of operations
against investor and analyst financial models.

(3) Net Income (Non-GAAP) Per Basic Share. Net income (Non-GAAP) per share is calculated based on net income
(Non-GAAP). Like net income (Non-GAAP), net income (Non-GAAP) per share
excludes certain expenses and income, including share-based compensation
expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, after-tax dividend
income, gain on discontinued operations, and gain on settlement of escrow.
Management believes that net income (Non-GAAP) per share, when used in
conjunction with the Company's GAAP net income per share, provides useful
information to investors for the same reasons discussed above regarding net
income (Non-GAAP). In addition, net income (Non-GAAP) per share allows
investors to evaluate the Company's operating performance from period to
period on a per share basis, thus providing a useful basis for assessing
the Company's value on a per share basis.
