Publishing business

According to Analysys International, the Company ranked No. 1 in terms of gross billings among China’s mobile game publishers for six straight quarters from July 2013 to December 2014, and was estimated to have approximately 20.1% of the mobile game publishing’s market share in China during the fourth quarter of 2014. Since establishing our third-party publishing business in the middle of 2013, the Company has successfully published more than ten mobile games each with monthly gross billings over RMB10 million, including Despicable me: Minion Rush , Crisis Action , Super Hero , Tian Tian Ying Xiong and Jue Zhan Sha Cheng .

During February of 2015, Uncharted Waters V , which we published in cooperation with Tecmo Koei became one of the few successful Japanese mobile games published in China in the first quarter of 2015.

In 2014, the Company also published high-quality mobile games outside of China. The Company has established offices in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Japan to focus on the localization of the games it publishes as well as actively pursue collaboration opportunities with overseas marketing platforms.

In recognition of the success of its publishing business, for the 2014 Golden Plume Awards, the Company was named “The 10 Best Game Enterprises”. Moreover, the Company’s game Crisis Action was named “The Most Popular Social Game”.

Self-developed games

According to Analysys International, the Company was ranked a Top 10 developer in China in both the third and the fourth quarter of 2014. In 2014, the Company’s self-developed MMORPG mobile game Wonder Hero was ranked first in popularity rankings on Kakao Talk, Naver, T-store, N-store within 48 hours after its launch in Korea. Currently, the Company has multiple games in its self-development pipeline. New Legend of Sword and Fairy , co-developed with Softstar Technology , will begin closed beta testing in April of 2015. Naruto: Shinobi Masters , co-developed with GREE, is in its final stage of development. The Company is also currently developing a Shaolin Temple- themed ARPG mobile game as well as a RPG game that is adapted from the popular online fiction Ze Tian Ji co-developed with 7Cool . Both games are scheduled to enter closed beta testing in Q2 2015. In addition, in 2014, the highly anticipated ARPG mobile game The Creator , which the Company co-developed with Shanghai Yin He Shu Wu , won the 2014 Unity3D Vision Award.

The Company also has numerous games in various stages of self-development and co-development based on IP rights the Company acquired, including, among others, One Piece: The Path of Powers , Samurai Shodown , Ikkyuu San , Si Da Ming Bu and Hello Kitty . These games are expected to be launched during 2015. We are looking forward to strong overall growth of our self-developed games in 2015.

Intellectual property:

Throughout 2014, the Company established a series of strategic partnerships with IP owners in Japan, the US and Taiwan and sourced several classic IPs such as Naruto , One Piece , Dragon Ball Z , Ikkyuu San , Hello Kitty and Samurai Showdown , among others. In addition, the Company made a strategic investment in Inplay, a leading Korean developer of mobile and PC games of which Warner Brothers is a major shareholder.

Recently, in the area of manga, the Company has acquired the rights from North Stars Pictures to develop mobile games based on the popular Japanese manga Fist of the North Star . In the area of classic games, the Company has been authorized by Softstar Technology to co-develop a 3D mobile game version of New Legend of Sword and Fairy , a game that is widely recognized as a classic Chinese culture-themed RPG.

Long-life-cycle product strategy:

In 2014, in addition to further developing our existing competitive products, the Company has also developed two product lines each with long life-cycles, including poker games and e-sports games. Both of these products performed exceptionally well in 2014. In addition, the Company entered into a strategic cooperation with Jin Huan Tian Lang , a leading mobile poker game developer in China in which the Company made a strategic investment in 2014, to focus on building a social platform with multiple social functions and interactive services.

In 2014, the Company published various e-sports mobile games, including Crisis Action , Charming Dancer and, King of Fighters’ 97 . As one of the world’s first FPS competitive mobile games and an official mobile game title in the World E-sport Championship Games, Crisis Action has performed very well as part of the regularly held online competitions titled “Hero Leagues,” which attracts many players. Another unique 3D dance-themed game, Charming Dancer , with its simple operation, catchy characters and real-time communication tools, has won popularity among players and was awarded the 2014 GMGC Best Visual Award.

In addition, the Company also commenced closed beta testing on the Android platform for the battle game The King of Fighters’ 97 in January 2015 . This version of The King of Fighters’ 97 preserves the 36 characters from the original game while adding exciting and upgraded visual effects and multiple game play modes for improved player experience. Similarly, the Company will also upgrade the arcade game Samurai Shodown 2 on Android platforms.

Distribution platform

In 2014, the Company’s proprietary game center developed steadily with total registered users reaching 24 million by December 31, 2014. In addition, the Company’s highest monthly downloads and total downloads for the year were approximately 100 million and over 700 million, respectively. By pre-installing game center applications on the handsets of users mainly from third-tier and fourth-tier cities in China, the Company has achieved successes in promoting its single-player games and mobile poker games. In particular, we have achieved the annual targets we set to pre-install our game center application and/or games on more than 80 million smartphones by the end of 2014.

In 2014, through strategic cooperation with China Unicom, the Company has also expanded into the field of television games. In October of 2014, the Company and International Data Group collectively established the “Future Family Fun Alliance” on China Unicom’s WoStore , which has aggregated over forty core enterprises in the family entertainment industry, including content providers, electrical appliance manufacturers, game controller manufacturers, chipset manufacturers, third party platforms and media, among others, to develop and distribute mobile games and other forms of entertainment on a smart television platform.

---

Game support platform

In 2014, the Company also established a game support platform. “Super SDK” combines social chatting, cross promotion, data mining and other functions. It links game developers with multiple distribution channels while simultaneously increasing user stickiness and increasing the efficiency of developers in distributing and marketing their games. In order to further consolidate its game support platform, the Company strategically invested in Shenzhen Yunva Technology (“Yunva Technology”) in 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2014, Yunva Technology launched “YAYA Yu Yin” 3.0, which has enriched the social functions and incorporated a game distribution function. YAYA Yu Yin attracted an average 50,000 newly registered users during the fourth quarter of 2014. For improved game experience, Super SDK has incorporated YAYA Yu Yin. In addition, Beijing Super Flash Software Co. Ltd, in which the Company also made a strategic investment, launched its “Mobimirage” game engine (the “Mirage Engine”) in the third quarter of 2014. The Mirage Engine is a 2D/3D cross-platform mobile game engine. With an average three to five month game research and development period, it has already launched several successful games, including Jue Zhan Sha Cheng , which was self-developed by us, Heng Sao Xi You , which was exclusively published by Tencent.

Integrated ecosystem focusing on product innovation and user satisfaction

For every segment of the mobile game industry in which it is involved, the Company has either made strategic investments or established operating subsidiaries with a goal to develop an integrated ecosystem focused on product innovation and user satisfaction. Such strategic investments and subsidiaries include Inplay, 51 PK , Yunva Technology, Super Flash and Jin Huan Tian Lang , among others. Among all of the Company’s investment projects, its strategic investment in Angel Fund Success Capital has been instrumental in making the Company’s overall investment strategy in the mobile game industry more complete. Since its inception in June 2014, Success Capital has invested in 18 projects including in mobile game developers, television game developers, game art production companies, game music production companies, gaming media as well as game IP integrators.

In 2014, with product innovation and user satisfaction as its core principles, the Company has successfully established an integrated ecosystem, bringing together self-developed games, game publishing, IP, a game support platform and distribution platform. Through this ecosystem, the Company will continue to strive to provide players with more interesting games and high quality services and thereby create a gaming brand to foster loyalty among our players.

Mr. Ken Chang, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, added “I am pleased to report that CMGE again achieved record quarterly revenue and significant growth in operational performance in the fourth quarter of 2014. Our game revenue grew 185.4% year-over-year or 16.8% quarter-over-quarter, while our Non-GAAP net profit grew 146.9% year-over-year or 6.2% quarter-over-quarter . Our operating data for social games was exceptional in the fourth quarter of 2014. Thanks to the success of social games such as Crisis Action and Jue Zhan Sha Cheng , MAUs have expanded significantly from 36.6 million in the prior quarter to 71.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.”

Fourth Quarter 2014 Results

Revenues

Total net revenues were RMB417.8 million (US$67.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 185.4% from RMB146.4 million from the same period last year and an increase of 16.8% from RMB357.6 million in the prior quarter. The sequential and year-over-year increase was mainly due to the continued success of our self-developed and published games, including the recent successes of Jue Zhan Sha Cheng and Crisis Action , which have both driven an increase in the number of paying users and ARPU. The continued success of our social games has increased ARPU for social games by 2.4% to RMB47.0 in the fourth quarter of 2014 from RMB 45.9 in the third quarter of 2014. Meanwhile, our single-player games have also recognized an increase of 80.0% in paying users to 7.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 from 4.0 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was RMB171.7 million (US$27.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 218.0% from RMB54.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and an increase of 36.7% from RMB125.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. The sequential increase was primarily due to an increase in amortization expenses for published games and licensed IPs. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increases in payments made to mobile carrier channels and revenue sharing to distribution channels as our overall revenue continued to grow, as well as an increase in amortization expenses.

The Company’s overall gross margin was 58.9% during the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with 63.1% in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 64.9% in the third quarter of 2014. Gross margin decreased quarter-over-quarter primarily as a result of the higher amortization expenses incurred on licensing fees for published games and licensed IPs. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to an increase in payments made to mobile carrier channels and revenue sharing with distribution channels and the higher amortization expenses.

---

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were RMB183.2 million (US$29.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with RMB86.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and RMB158.8 million in the third quarter of 2014. Operating expenses were 43.8% of revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with 44.4% in the prior quarter. The increase in operating expenses was primarily a result of higher share-based compensation expenses. Meanwhile, operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased significantly year-over-year from 58.7% due to economies of scale, which has resulted in a smaller increase in fixed overheads relative to a significantly higher increase in revenues.

Selling expenses were RMB103.5 million (US$16.7 million) during the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with RMB51.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and RMB91.4 million in the third quarter of 2014. Selling expenses as a percentage of revenues was 24.8%, which is comparable to 25.6% for the third quarter of 2014, and decreased from 35.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Selling expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased year-over-year as our revenues increased significantly year-over-year. Selling expenses increased year-over-year and sequentially due to an increase of revenue and an expansion of online advertising activities, including increased game promotion through web platforms, application stores and agents.

General and administrative expenses were RMB40.8 million (US$6.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with RMB14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and RMB34.9 million for the third quarter of 2014. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 9.8% in the fourth quarter of 2014, which are comparable to 9.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 9.8% in the third quarter of 2014. The sequential and year-over-year increases were mainly due to increase in share-based compensation expenses.

Research and development expenses were RMB38.8 million (US$6.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with RMB19.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and RMB32.5 million in the third quarter of 2014. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 9.3% in the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease from 13.6% from the fourth quarter of 2013 and comparable to that of 9.1% in the third quarter of 2014. The year-over-year decrease was due to an increase in revenues.

Share-based compensation expenses totaled RMB20.5 million (US$3.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with RMB0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and RMB6.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. Share-based compensation expenses increased sequentially and year-over-year primarily as a result of additional expenses of RMB12.7 million (US$2.1 million) incurred for the performance based share options issued to employees as financial performance targets for 2014 were achieved.

---

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing, CMGE’s operating income was RMB62.9 million (US$10.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with an operating income of RMB6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, representing a 882.8% increase year-over-year and a decrease of 14.2% compared to operating income of RMB73.3 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP operating income, excluding share-based compensation, was RMB83.4 million (US$13.4 million) during the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 1,144.8% compared with a non-GAAP operating income, excluding (1) share-based compensation expenses and (2) goodwill and intangible assets impairment loss, of RMB6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, and an increase of 3.1% compared with non-GAAP operating income, excluding (1) share-based compensation expenses and (2) internal investigation costs, of RMB80.9 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Other Income

There was no material other income during the third and fourth quarters of 2014. Other income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was RMB10.1 million and mainly represented a gain resulting from a business acquisition for which the purchase consideration was lower than the fair value of the new assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Income Tax

The Company had an income tax benefit of RMB0.1 million (US$0.02 million) for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with an income tax benefit of RMB0.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 and an income tax benefit of RMB1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Net Income attributable to CMGE

Net income attributable to CMGE for the fourth quarter of 2014 was RMB67.4 million (US$10.9 million), compared with net income attributable to CMGE of RMB34.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and net income attributable to CMGE of RMB75.5 million in the third quarter of 2014. Net income attributable to CMGE was 97.1% higher year-over-year and 10.7% lower quarter-over-quarter. Net income attributable to CMGE was lower sequentially primarily because of an increase in share based compensation as a result of the additional expenses of RMB12.7 million (US$2.1 million) incurred for the performance based share options issued to employees as financial performance targets for 2014 were achieved. Net income attributable to CMGE was higher year-over-year because of higher operating profit as our revenues increased while expenses increased to a lesser extent.

---

Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2013

Net Revenues

Our net revenues increased by 258.3% to RMB1,264.7 million (US$203.8 million) in 2014 from RMB353.0 million in 2013. This increase was primarily due to greater revenue contribution from both self-developed and licensed social games resulting from our continued marketing efforts, game development, licensing and operation.

 

•

Our game revenue increased by 296.2% to RMB1,264.7 million (US$203.8 million) in 2014 from RMB319.2 million in 2013, primarily due to continued success of our self-developed games and other popular third party published social games

 

•

Our handset design revenue decreased to nil from RMB33.8 million in 2013 as we shifted our focus away from handset design to focus our resources on game development, game publishing and distribution.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues increased by 210.2% to RMB483.9 million (US$78.0 million) in 2014 from RMB156.0 million in 2013. This increase was largely in line with our increase in revenues.

 

•

Our cost of revenues attributable to games increased by 288.7% to RMB483.9 million (US$78.0 million) in 2014 from RMB124.5 million in 2013. This increase was primarily due to an increase in amortization of intangible assets and game licensing fees and an increase in payments made to mobile carrier channels and revenue sharing with distribution channels.

 

•

Our cost of revenues attributable to handset design decreased to nil from RMB31.5 million in 2013 due to our shift of focus to game development, game publishing and distribution.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by 296.4% to RMB780.8 million (US$125.8 million) in 2014 from RMB197.0 million in 2013. Our gross margin increased to 61.7% in 2014 from 55.8% in 2013. This increase is attributable primarily to growth in our games publishing business, as the amount paid to mobile game developers is netted off against revenue and not booked under cost of revenues. In addition, the percentage of fixed amortization costs also decreased in relation to the increase in revenue.

 

•

Our gross profit attributable to games increased by 301.0% to RMB780.8 million in 2014 from RMB194.7 million in 2013. Our gross margin attributable to games increased to 61.7% in 2014 from 61.0% in 2013.

---

•

Due to our shift in focus to game development, game publishing and distribution, we had nil gross profit attributable to handset design in 2014. The gross profit attributable to handset design was RMB2.3 million in 2013.

Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses increased by 151.7% to RMB563.4 million (US$90.8 million) in 2014 from RMB223.8 million in 2013. This increase was primarily due to an increase in selling expenses and general and administrative expenses.

 

•

Selling expenses increased by 189.1% to RMB320.9 million (US$51.7 million) in 2014 from RMB111.0 million in 2013. Selling expenses increased due to an increase of revenue and an expansion of online advertising activities, including increased game promotion through web platforms, application stores and agents. Selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 25.4% in 2014 from 31.4% in 2013.

 

•

General and administrative expenses increased by 134.7% to RMB131.2 million (US$21.1 million) in 2014 from RMB55.9 million in 2013 primarily as a result of the higher share-based compensation to motivate and reward our staff and the increased headcount to support our growing operations. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 10.4% in 2014 from 15.8% in 2013.

 

•

Research and development expenses increased by 105.0% to RMB111.3 million (US$17.9 million) in 2014 from RMB54.3 million in 2013. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 8.8% in 2014 from 15.4% in 2013 due to a substantial year-over-year increase in revenues.

Operating Income (Loss)

We had operating income of RMB217.4 million (US$35.0 million) in 2014, compared to an operating loss of RMB26.8 million in 2013. As a result of the cumulative effect of the above factors, our operating margin increased to 17.2% in 2014 from -7.6% in 2013.

Other Income

We had other income of RMB5.2 million (US$0.8 million) in 2014, compared to other income of RMB25.7 million in 2013. Other income in 2014 mainly represented government grants and foreign exchange gain arising from the stronger RMB exchange rate against the US dollar. In comparison, other income in 2013 mainly represented (i) gain on disposal of a subsidiary engaged in the sale and development of mobile games in 2013, (ii) gain on an acquisition for which the purchase consideration was lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and (iii) government grants.

---

Changes in Fair Value of Contingently Returnable Consideration Assets

Our changes in fair value of contingently returnable consideration assets were nil in 2014. The amount for 2013 was a gain of RMB24.4 million, which was primarily due to an increase in the fair value of consideration shares to be returned to VODone pursuant to the contingent conditions related to the acquisitions of the 3GUU Group. Beginning in 2014, we will no longer have changes in fair value of contingently returnable consideration assets related to our historical reorganization as the contingently returnable consideration assets was fully settled as of 31 December 2013.

Income Tax

We had an income tax expense of RMB1.1 million (US$0.2 million) in 2014, compared to an income tax benefit of RMB0.2 million in 2013. Our effective tax rate was 0.49% in 2014, compared to 0.75% in 2013, primarily due to our increased profitability.

Net Income attributable to CMGE

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded net income attributable to CMGE of RMB232.1 million (US$37.4 million) in 2014, representing an increase of 904.8% from the net income attributable to CMGE of RMB23.1 million in 2013. Our non-GAAP net income attributable to CMGE, excluding (i) share-based compensation and (ii) internal investigation costs, was RMB272.1 million (US$43.9 million) in 2014, compared with non-GAAP net income attributable to CMGE, excluding (1) share-based compensation and (2) goodwill and intangible assets impairment loss of RMB39.7 million in 2013.

Declaration of Annual Cash Dividends

On March 26, 2015, the Company’s board of directors declared annual cash dividends in the aggregate amount of approximately USD4.4 million to the Company’s shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 17, 2015 (Eastern Daylight Time), at US$0.01 per Class A or Class B ordinary share, or US$0.14 per ADS, each representing fourteen Class A ordinary shares. The cash dividends are expected to be distributed on or about May 15, 2015.

The Company may continue to distribute annual dividends in the future. However, the distribution of any future dividends will be at the full discretion of the Board and will be dependent on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, available cash, capital requirements and other factors.

---

Business Outlook

For the first quarter of 2015, the Company expects revenue of RMB435.0 million (US$70.1 million). This forecast reflects the Company’s current and preliminary view on the estimated performance of its game portfolio and on the market and operational conditions, which may fluctuate and are subject to change.
