AsiaInfo-Linkage Reports Unaudited Third Quarter 2011 Results

BEIJING/SANTA CLARA, Calif. – October 31, 2011 – AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASIA) (“AsiaInfo-Linkage,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), a leading provider of telecommunication software solutions and services in China, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

“Year to date, we are witnessing strong double digit growth in sales order bookings from our three main telecommunications customers,” said AsiaInfo-Linkage President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Zhang. “Carriers will continue to spend on 3G and Internet-related solutions to expand bandwidth and enhance customer data analysis, which in turn will drive demand for our business. In the third quarter we completed a CRM system migration for China Mobile’s Zhejiang subsidiary, successfully migrating approximately 52 million subscribers from their old CRM system to our state-of-the art system. Our latest CRM system gives customers the ability to roll out new features and applications much more quickly than before, which will shift spending away from hardware and increasingly into software.”

Mr. Zhang added, “The fourth quarter has traditionally been our strongest quarter of the year and we expect this seasonality to continue. As we take a longer-term outlook, we have increased spending in new products like enhanced CRM systems, as well as in new markets and customers, for instance our projects in Southeast Asia, as we reinvest in strategic areas of our business to drive long-term, sustainable growth.”

Recent Developments

On December 1, 2010, AsiaInfo-Linkage announced the divestiture of its IT security business. Results for the IT security business have been retrospectively reclassified to discontinued operations, and AsiaInfo-Linkage no longer separates results between the telecom solutions business and the IT security business.

In the third quarter of 2011, AsiaInfo-Linkage signed Business Support System (“BSS”) Convergent software supervision contracts for five China Unicom subsidiaries in Beijing, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Shandong provinces.

In the third quarter of 2011, AsiaInfo-Linkage signed a Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) 2.0 contract with Qinghai Telecom, a provincial subsidiary of China Telecom.

Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were US$119.3 million, an increase of 8.0% year-over-year and 2.7% sequentially. Meeting guidance, net revenue (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2011 was US$117.2 million, an increase of 12.8% year-over-year and 6.3% sequentially. The year-over-year and sequential increases were mainly the result of the steady demand for the Company’s services and solutions from China’s telecom carriers.

Gross margin for the quarter was 43.9%, compared to 42.8% in the year-ago period and 42.2% in the previous quarter. Gross margin of net revenue (non-GAAP)³ was 49.4% in the third quarter of 2011, compared to 50.8% in the year-ago period and 49.5% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases in GAAP gross margin were primarily attributable to a decrease in sales of third party hardware equipment. The slight year-over-year decrease in non-GAAP gross margin was primarily the result of an increase in cost of labor, which was partially offset by improved billing rates.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2011 increased 24.4% year-over-year and 7.3% sequentially to US$37.1 million. The year-over-year and sequential increases were primarily attributable to the addition of research and development (“R&D”) engineers, an increase in R&D investment in product development for current and anticipated overseas expansion, product standardization and delivery improvements, and increased cost of labor. Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2011 remained flat year-over-year and decreased 15.3% sequentially to US$16.3 million. The sequential decrease in sales and marketing expenses was mainly due to the completion of the backlog amortization schedule related to the merger with Linkage Technologies International Holdings Limited (“Linkage”). General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the third quarter of 2011 decreased 43.3% year-over-year and 60.5% sequentially to US$2.2 million. The year-over-year and sequential decreases in G&A expenses were primarily due to a US$1.2 million reversal of allowance for doubtable accounts due to the Company’s enhanced long-aging accounts receivable collection effort. R&D expenses increased 93.6% year-over-year and 56.7% sequentially to US$18.6 million. The year-over-year and sequential increases in R&D expenses were primarily driven by the addition of R&D engineers, investment in product development for current and anticipated overseas expansion, product standardization and delivery improvements, and increased cost of labor.

As a result of the aforementioned, income from operations for the third quarter of 2011 was US$15.3 million, a decrease of 12.5% year-over-year and an increase of 5.1% sequentially. Operating margin of total revenue was 12.8% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 15.8% in the year-ago period and 12.5% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease in operating margin was mainly attributable to the increases in R&D expenses and cost of labor and the slight sequential increase was mainly due to the decreases in G&A expenses and amortization expenses.

Operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP)⁴ for the third quarter of 2011 was 23.6%, compared to 29.4% in the year-ago period and 26.6% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year and sequential decreases in operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) were primarily due to the increases in R&D expenses and cost of labor.

Other income for the third quarter of 2011 was US$578 thousand compared to US$538 thousand in the year-ago period and US$1.2 million in the previous quarter. The decrease in other income was mainly due to an impairment charge of investment. The Company has conducted a full review of long-term and short-term investments and, based on current market valuations, booked a US$1.0 million impairment provision for one long-term investment.

On a GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2011, the Company recorded net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. of US$13.3 million, or US$0.18 per basic share, compared to US$16.5 million, or US$0.22 per basic share, in the year-ago period and US$32.9 million, or US$0.45 per basic share, in the previous quarter. The Company’s earnings per basic share in the previous quarter increased by US$0.25 as a result of a tax rate adjustment for the Company’s Nanjing subsidiary, Linkage-AsiaInfo Technologies (Nanjing), Inc (“LKNJ”), which resulted in a US$20.6 million reduction in the deferred tax liability related to LKNJ’s intangible assets amortization and a US$2.3 million reduction in the deferred tax asset related to welfare accrual.

In the third quarter of 2011, net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) was US$26.7 million or US$0.37 per basic share. Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) in the year-ago period was US$29.6 million or US$0.40 per basic share. Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) in the previous quarter was US$29.3 million or US$0.40 per basic share. Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) decreased 9.8% year-over-year and 8.6% sequentially. The year-over-year and sequential decreases in net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) were mainly attributable to an increase in R&D expenses and increased cost of labor.

For the third quarter of 2011, AsiaInfo-Linkage had a net operating cash inflow of US$21.9 million mainly due to strong cash collection.

As of September 30, 2011, AsiaInfo-Linkage had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling US$230.4 million and short-term investments totaling US$32.8 million.

As of September 30, 2011, AsiaInfo-Linkage had gross accounts receivable (“AR”) of US$292.2 million compared to US$298.1 million as of June 30, 2011. Gross AR includes agent arrangements with International Business Machines Corporation or its distributors and for a few other hardware companies (“IBM-Type Arrangements”). Since these arrangements typically consist of back-to-back payment terms for certain products sold to AsiaInfo-Linkage customers, there is no impact on the Company’s cash flow or days of sales outstanding (“DSO”). Net AR, which excludes IBM-Type Arrangements and IT Security business-related AR, was US$224.3 million as of September 30, 2011, compared to US$220.7 million as of June 30, 2011. This slight sequential increase in net AR was in line with the Company’s sequential growth in revenue. This resulted in the Company’s DSO being 159 days as of September 30, 2011, flat compared to DSO as of June 30, 2011. A table presenting further information regarding the Company’s gross AR, AR relating to IBM-Type Arrangements (“IBM-Related AR”), revenues and DSO is provided at the end of this press release.

Business Outlook

AsiaInfo-Linkage expects fourth quarter 2011 net revenue (non-GAAP) to be in the range of US$127.0 million to US$131.0 million. The Company expects fourth quarter 2011 net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. per basic share (non-GAAP) to be in the range of US$0.30 to US$0.33.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release presents 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 measurements 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 most directly comparable GAAP measures.

(1) Net revenue (non-GAAP)

AsiaInfo-Linkage’s net revenue (non-GAAP) represents total revenue net of third party hardware costs that are passed through to our customers. We believe total revenues net of third party 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.

Reconciliation of net revenue (non-GAAP) to GAAP total revenues

(2) Gross margin of net revenue (non-GAAP)

Gross margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing gross profit, excluding third party hardware costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and share-based compensation expenses, by net revenue (non-GAAP). 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 gross margin of net revenue (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 this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP gross margin and other GAAP financial metrics, 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) Operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP)

Operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing income from operations, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses and non-recurring merger related expenses, by net revenue (non-GAAP). 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.

Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment loss on investment, non-recurring merger related expenses, after-tax dividend income and LKNJ 15% tax rate adjustment. 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.

(5) Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) per basic share

Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) per basic share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) (which as discussed above excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment loss on investment, non-recurring merger related expenses, after-tax dividend income and LKNJ 15% tax rate adjustment) by the same number of weighted average shares outstanding used in the computation of net income per basic share. Management believes that net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) per basic share, when used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. per basic share, provides useful information to investors for the same reasons discussed above regarding net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc (non-GAAP). In addition, net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) per basic 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.

AR, IBM-Related AR, Revenue and DSO

AR balances included both billed and unbilled amounts. Revenue recognized in excess of billings is recorded as unbilled receivable. In addition to revenues from the sales of its goods and services and from hardware procured on behalf of customers, the Company generated service revenues by acting as a sales agent pursuant to the IBM-Type Arrangements. In December 2010, the Company disposed of its former IT Security business and, accordingly, no longer generates revenues from the sale of its information security products. The Company’s DSO calculations are as follows as of the last day of the respective periods indicated, with net AR excluding the receivables attributable to the IT Security Business and the IBM-Type Arrangements, and with revenues excluding those attributable to the IT Security Business, respectively:

1) Q1 2010 DSO = (Q4 2009 net AR + Q1 2010 net AR)/2/Q1 revenue x 90

2) Q2 2010 DSO = (Q4 2009 net AR + Q2 2010 net AR)/2/Q2 cumulative revenue x 180

3) Q3 2010 DSO = (Q4 2009 net AR + Q3 2010 net AR)/2/Q3 cumulative revenue x 270

4) Q4 2010 DSO = (Q4 2009 net AR + Q4 2010 net AR)/2/Q4 cumulative revenue x 360

5) Q1 2011 DSO = (Q4 2010 net AR + Q1 2011 net AR)/2/Q1 revenue x 90

6) Q2 2011 DSO = (Q4 2010 net AR + Q2 2011 net AR)/2/Q2 cumulative revenue x 180

7) Q3 2011 DSO = (Q4 2010 net AR + Q3 2011 net AR)/2/Q3 cumulative revenue x 270

The following table presents further information regarding the Company’s gross AR, net AR, revenues, and DSO.
