NetEase.com Reports Second Quarter 2009
Unaudited Financial Results
(Beijing – August 13, 2009) – NetEase.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES), one of China’s leading Internet and online game services providers, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
William Ding, Chief Executive Officer and Director of NetEase said, “The forefront of our online game business strategy has always been the ongoing in-house development and licensing of high-quality games that will continually diversify our user base. With respect to our strategic licensing strategy and the much anticipated relaunch of World of Warcraft which is licensed from Blizzard Entertainment in mainland China, we have completed technical support configuration and server rollout on schedule. China’s Ministry of Culture has approved the content of the game and it is now under the approval process with the General Administration of Press and Publication, or GAPP. We have commenced the closed beta testing of the game since July 30, 2009 and are well prepared to start the commercial launch of the game as soon as we receive approval from GAPP. Collectively, we increased our technical and customer service staff by approximately 500 to support Blizzard Entertainment’s Battle.net platform and the World of Warcraft relaunch.”
“Meanwhile, we continue to execute on our strategic plan to enhance our portfolio of in-house developed games. New user statistics were particularly strong for Westward Journey II, Datang and New Fly for Fun during the second quarter. Two new item-based games, Buibui and TF Online, were launched commercially in May and June, respectively. BuiBui, a casual game, offers players magic gun-firing experiences and TF Online, a 3-D game, offers star-war heroic role experiences. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately 1,000 game developers supporting our ongoing game pipeline.”
Mr. Ding continued, “Advertising services revenue improved quarter-over-quarter in terms of both sales by product and number of advertising customers. We believe this was due to improved advertising spending as a result of domestic economic stimulus and our efforts to upgrade our portal channels and add premium content. We launched several new channels covering education, travel network and real estate in July and August. We also plan to launch a book search and review channel in September. In addition, we are expanding our sales force to enhance our industry and customer coverage which we expect will help us driving further advertising revenue growth during the next six months.”

Mr. Ding concluded, “We believe that China’s economy continues its path to recovery, we are continuing to focus on our core strengths to maintain our dominance in China’s online game market and look forward to a solid second half of the year as our newest licensed and in-house games come to market.”
Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were RMB872.1 million (US$127.7 million), compared to RMB781.7 million (US$114.4 million) and RMB715.9 million (US$104.8 million) for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively.
Revenues from online games were RMB781.5 million (US$114.4 million) for the second quarter of 2009, compared to RMB724.0 million (US$106.0 million) and RMB595.0 million (US$87.1 million) for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively.
Revenues from advertising services were RMB72.8 million (US$10.7 million) for the second quarter of 2009, compared to RMB41.0 million (US$6.0 million) and RMB103.9 million (US$15.2 million) for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively.
Revenues from wireless value-added services and others, or WVAS and others, were RMB17.8 million (US$2.6 million) for the second quarter of 2009, compared to RMB16.6 million (US$2.4 million) and RMB16.9 million (US$2.5 million) for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB691.9 million (US$101.3 million), compared to RMB641.7 million (US$93.9 million) and RMB722.8 million (US$105.8 million) for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the recognition of RMB83.3 million (US$12.2 million) of revenue from the clean up of dormant accounts of online games in June 2009, partially offset by the increase in business tax resulting from higher revenue and increased staff-related costs resulting from increased headcount in the second quarter of 2009. The recognition of revenue from dormant accounts of online games resulted from a change in our user agreement with online game players in May 2009, whereby outstanding points in accounts that remain dormant for a period of 540 days or more will be removed after 30 days of our public notice issued on May 20, 2009. Going forward, we expect to recognize revenue related to the outstanding points removed from dormant accounts of online games on a quarterly basis.
The year-over-year decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to the receipt of a business tax refund of RMB146.8 million (US$21.5 million) in June 2008 and increased cost of revenues in the second quarter of 2009 as a result of increased staff-related costs resulting from increased headcount and increased business tax due to higher revenues in the second quarter of 2009, partially offset by increased game revenues in the second quarter of 2009. The increase in game revenue in the second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to revenue recognized from dormant accounts in June 2009 as explained above and increased revenue from Westward

Table of Contents
Journey II and Tianxia II. Increased revenue from Westward Journey II was mainly due to enhanced game play introduced in the expansion pack released in August 2008. We reported a full second quarter revenue for Tianxia II in 2009 compared to only one month revenue for the second quarter of 2008 as the game entered unlimited closed beta testing on June 6, 2008.
Gross Profit (Loss) Margin
Gross profit margin for the online game business for the second quarter of 2009 was 88.3%, compared to 90.0% and 91.2% for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decreases in gross profit margin were primarily due to increased staff-related costs in the second quarter of 2009.
Gross profit margin for the advertising business for the second quarter of 2009 was 16.6%, compared to gross loss margin of 13.1% and gross profit margin of 52.6% for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter improvement in gross profit margin was primarily due to increased revenue brought about by certain economic stimulus measures implemented by the Chinese government in the past few months, especially with respect to the automobile and electrical home appliances sectors. The year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to significantly reduced advertising revenues in the current quarter as demand for advertising services remained relatively low with advertisers remaining cautious and still looking ahead for clear signs of economic recovery.
Gross loss margin for the WVAS and others business for the second quarter of 2009 was 43.0%, compared to 22.3% for the preceding quarter and gross profit margin of 28.8% for the second quarter of 2008. The quarter-over-quarter increase in gross loss margin was primarily due to increased staff-related costs and increased bandwidth and custody fees resulting from increased traffic. The year-over-year increase in gross loss margin was mainly attributable to the receipt of the business tax refund in June 2008 and increased staff-related costs resulting from increased headcount in the second quarter of 2009.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2009 were RMB174.8 million (US$25.6 million), compared to RMB150.6 million (US$22.0 million) and RMB149.7 million (US$21.9 million) for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase in operating expenses was primarily due to nationwide marketing costs for promoting the open beta testing of New Fly for Fun in May and June of 2009 and costs associated with other promotional activities, as well as increased research and development expenses resulting from increased staff-related costs resulting from increased headcount.
The year-over-year increase in selling and marketing expenses was mainly due to increased staff-related costs resulting from increased salaries and wage levels and new headcount in 2009, and increased marketing costs for promoting online games and advertising services in the current quarter. The year-over-year increase in general and administration expenses was mainly caused by increased provision for bad debts resulting from an increase in accounts receivable balance aged over six months as of June 30, 2009, and increased office rental and property management fees resulting from increased office space in Beijing, China. The year-over-year research and development expenses remained relatively stable.

Net Profit
Net profit for the second quarter of 2009 totaled RMB468.1 million (US$68.5 million), compared to RMB416.7 million (US$61.0 million) and RMB438.2 million (US$64.2 million) for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively. During the current quarter, the Company reported a net foreign exchange gain of RMB47.2 million (US$6.9 million) under Other, net, compared to losses of RMB47.5 million (US$7.0 million) and RMB26.4 million (US$3.9 million) for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decrease in foreign exchange loss was mainly due to the reversal of translation loss with respect to the Company’s Euro-denominated bank deposit balances as of June 30, 2009 as the exchange rate of the Euro against the RMB fluctuated over the periods. NetEase reported basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share, or ADS of US$0.53 each for the second quarter of 2009. The Company reported basic and diluted earnings per ADS of US$0.48 and US$0.47 and US$0.53 and US$0.50 for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax charge of RMB115.4 million (US$16.9 million), RMB61.7 million (US$9.0 million) and RMB140.0 million (US$20.5 million) for the current quarter, the preceding quarter, and the second quarter of 2008, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase in tax charge was primarily due to increased revenue in the second quarter of 2009 and the payment of an extra tax charge of RMB38.5 million (US$5.6 million) in June 2009 related to the tax assessment of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 of one of the Company’s subsidiaries as explained below. The year-over-year decrease in tax charge was primarily due to the application of the statutory tax rate of 25% on the income of the Company’s subsidiaries in the second quarter of 2008 as approval for the preferred tax status of HNTEs was not received until December 2008.
This subsidiary (with both HNTEs and Software Enterprises status) paid its corporate income tax at a rate of 12.5% for the first three quarters of 2008 while also with the understanding that if it was granted the HNTEs tax status in 2008, this subsidiary would be entitled to a preferential tax rate of 7.5% in 2008 based on the interpretation of the grandfather provisions under the Corporate Income Tax Law and the related implementation guidelines. The preferential tax rate of 7.5% was calculated by applying the 50% tax rate reduction for Software Enterprises against 15%, which is the preferred tax rate applicable to this subsidiary’s HNTEs status. When this subsidiary was granted the HNTEs tax status in December 2008, the relevant local tax authority refunded the excess corporate income tax paid for the first three quarters of 2008 when applying the preferrential tax rate of 7.5% in these quarters. Following the issuance of a new tax circular by the State Administration of Taxation in April 2009, the local tax authority notified this subsidiary in June 2009 that it should pay its corporate income tax liability for 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 at the rate of 12.5% instead of 7.5%. Its decision was based on the interpretation of a new circular issued by the State Administration of Taxation in April 2009 that the 50% tax rate reduction for Software Enterprises should be made against the uniform corporate income tax rate at 25%, not the 15% preferred tax rate applicable to this subsidiary’s HNTEs status.
Other Information
As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s cash and time deposits totaled RMB6.2 billion (US$909.4 million), compared to RMB5.6 billion (US$821.9 million) as of December 31, 2008. In addition, the Company had a restricted cash balance of RMB82.0 million (US$12.0 million), representing a security deposit placed with a court in Guangzhou, China in connection with certain arbitration proceedings against the property developer of the office building located in Guangzhou, China, which is occupied by the Company. The Company

and Mr. Ding agreed that Mr. Ding would initiate such arbitration due to the property developer’s failure to complete registration for the transfer of title to the property to Mr. Ding who has agreed to on-sell the property to NetEase at cost and the property developer’s mortgaging of the property in contravention of its agreement with Mr. Ding. The arbitration proceedings are currently in the preliminary stage.
Cash flows generated from operating activities totaled RMB544.4 million (US$79.7 million) for the second quarter of 2009, compared to RMB567.8 million (US$83.1 million) and RMB513.3 million (US$75.2 million) for the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2008, respectively.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had spent in aggregate a total purchase consideration of approximately US$13.1 million (including transaction costs).
