Beijing, China May 9, 2011 AirMedia Group Inc. (AirMedia or the Company) (Nasdaq: AMCN),
a leading operator of out-of-home advertising platforms in China targeting mid-to-high-end
consumers, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31,
2011.
First Quarter 2011 Financial and Business Highlights
|
|
|
Total revenues increased by 25.8% year-over-year to US$61.4 million. |
|
|
|
Gross profit increased by 65.7% year-over-year to US$3.7 million. |
|
|
|
Net loss attributable to AirMedias shareholders was US$3.9 million, improving from net
loss attributable to AirMedias shareholders of US$6.5 million in the same period one year
ago. Basic and diluted net loss attributable to AirMedias shareholders per American
Depositary Share (ADS) were both US$0.06. |
|
|
|
Adjusted net loss attributable to AirMedias shareholders (non-GAAP), which is net loss
attributable to AirMedias shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses and
amortization of acquired intangible assets, was US$2.3 million, improving from adjusted
net loss attributable to AirMedias shareholders (non-GAAP) of US$3.8 million in the same
period one year ago. Adjusted basic and diluted net loss attributable to AirMedias
shareholders per ADS (non-GAAP) were both US$0.03. |
|
|
|
The Company continued generating positive operating cash flow in excess of
capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2011. Other than restricted cash of US$6.9
million, cash and short-term investments increased to US$109.9 million as of March 31,
2011, from US$106.5 million as of December 31, 2010. |
We are pleased to report a stronger-than-expected revenue growth in the first quarter of 2011. Our
automobile advertisers have demonstrated steady and strong preference to our media platforms by
delivering revenue growth of 75.4% year-over-year. Our price increase also contributed to the
revenue growth, commented Herman Guo, chairman and chief executive officer of AirMedia. We will
continue to focus on our strategy of achieving profitable growth.
Our core business has demonstrated strong profitable growth in the first quarter of 2011. The
non-GAAP loss of $2.3 million was about the same amount as the loss from the newly signed gate
bridges contracts at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport in the first quarter of
2011, Ping Sun, AirMedias chief financial officer, commented.

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2011 reached US$61.4 million, representing a year-over-year
increase of 25.8% from US$48.8 million and a quarter-over-quarter decrease of 13.3% from US$70.8
million. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increases in revenues from digital frames
in airports and traditional media in airports. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was due to
decreases in revenues from most of the product lines except for gas station media network and other
media.
Revenues from digital frames in airports
Revenues from digital frames in airports for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 34.8%
year-over-year and decreased by 7.5% quarter-over-quarter to US$30.2 million. The year-over-year
increase was due to increases in both the number of time slots sold and the average advertising
revenue per time slot sold (the ASP). The quarter-over-quarter decrease was due to a decrease in
the number of time slots sold, which was partially offset by an increase in the ASP. Please refer
to Summary of Selected Operating Data below for detailed definitions of the operating data cited
in this press release.
The number of time slots sold for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 13.1% year-over-year and
decreased by 23.7% quarter-over-quarter to 10,327 time slots. The year-over-year increase was due
to continued sales efforts and growing acceptance of AirMedias digital frames. The
quarter-over-quarter decrease was due to the usual seasonal weakness associated with the Chinese
New Year period and the higher ASP in the first quarter of 2011. AirMedia operated digital frames
in 35 airports in the first quarter of 2011, up from 32 airports at the end of the first quarter of
2010 and from 34 airports at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010. The number of time slots
available for sale for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 13.3% year-over-year and decreased by
2.3% quarter-over-quarter to 34,139 time slots. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to
the increase in the number of airports in AirMedias digital frame network. The
quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to AirMedias ceasing to operate the TV-attached
digital frames in Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport as of March 1, 2011. The utilization rate
of digital frames for the first quarter of 2011 remained relatively unchanged year-over-year and
decreased by 8.5 percentage points quarter-over-quarter to 30.2%. The quarter-over-quarter decrease
was primarily due to the decrease in the number of time slots sold.
The ASP of digital frames for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 19.2% year-over-year and by
21.2% quarter-over-quarter to US$2,924. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an
increase in the listing prices of digital frames in some airports in early 2010, which had only
partial impact in the same period one year ago, and lower discounts offered in the first quarter of
2011 than in the same period one year ago. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to
lower discounts offered in the first quarter of 2011 than in the previous quarter and an increase
in the listing prices of stand-alone digital frames in all airports starting from January 1, 2011,
which had partial impact in the first quarter of 2011.
2
Revenues from digital TV screens in airports
Revenues from digital TV screens in airports for the first quarter of 2011 decreased by 19.5%
year-over-year and by 39.3% quarter-over-quarter to US$5.2 million. The year-over-year and
quarter-over-quarter decreases were due to decreases in the number of time slots sold, which was
partially offset by increases in the ASP of digital TV screens in the airports.
The number of time slots sold for the first quarter of 2011 decreased by 52.6% year-over-year and
by 50.0% quarter-over-quarter to 3,555 time slots. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to
the higher ASP during the quarter, The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the usual
seasonal weakness associated with the Chinese New Year period, and the higher ASP during the
quarter, which resulted in fewer time slots sold when advertisers did not increase their
advertising spending at the same speed as the increase in ASP. The number of time slots available
for sale for the first quarter of 2011 decreased by 18.5% year-over-year and by 21.7%
quarter-over-quarter to 18,780 time slots. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases
were primarily due to the fact that AirMedia shortened advertising time within each one hour
program to 20 minutes from 25 minutes after it became the operator of CCTVs Air Channel to better
attract air travelers attention. The change in advertising time only had impact on time slots
available for sale and utilization rate, and had no impact on time slots sold and ASP; thus it had
no impact on revenues from digital TV screens in airports as this media was not fully utilized in
the first quarter of 2011 and in the past. The utilization rate for the first quarter of 2011
decreased by 13.7 percentage points year-over-year and by 10.7 percentage points
quarter-over-quarter to 18.9% primarily due to the decreases in the number of time slots sold,
which was partially offset by the decreases in the number of time slots available for sale.
The ASP of digital TV screens in airports for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 70.0%
year-over-year and by 21.2% quarter-over-quarter to US$1,465. The year-over-year increase was
primarily due to the change in mix of time slots sold and lower discounts offered in the first
quarter of 2011 than in the same period one year ago. The number of time slots sold in the top
three airports, which have significantly higher ASPs than those sold in other airports, accounted
for a much higher percentage of total number of time slots sold in the first quarter of 2011 than
in the same period one year ago. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to lower
discounts in the first quarter of 2011 than in the previous quarter, and the change in mix of time
slots sold. The number of time slots sold in the top three airports, which have significantly
higher ASPs than those sold in other airports, accounted for a higher percentage of total number of
time slots sold in the first quarter of 2011 than in the previous quarter.
Revenues from digital TV screens on airplanes
Revenues from digital TV screens on airplanes for the first quarter of 2011 decreased slightly
year-over-year and by 29.2% quarter-over-quarter to US$6.8 million. The quarter-over-quarter
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of time slots sold.
The number of time slots sold for the first quarter of 2011 decreased by 18.9% year-over-year and
decreased by 42.3% quarter-over-quarter to 232 time slots. The year-over-year decrease was due to
higher ASP during the quarter, which resulted in fewer time slots sold when advertisers did not
increase their advertising spending at the same speed as the increase in ASP. The
quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the comparison with an exceptionally
good quarter in the previous quarter, and the higher ASP during the quarter, which resulted in
fewer time slots sold when advertisers did not increase their advertising spending at the same
speed as the increase in ASP. The number of time slots available for sale for the first quarter of
2011 increased by 1.5% year-over-year and decreased by 2.8% quarter-over-quarter to 414 time slots.
The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the operation of the digital media on Hainan
Airlines airplanes, which was partially offset by the termination of operation of digital TV
screens on Xiamen Airlines airplanes. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the
termination of operation of digital TV screens on Xiamen Airlines airplanes, which was partially
offset by the commencement of operations of advertising time on the Video-on-Demand system and
portable multi-media devices in business class and first class on the airplanes of China Southern
Airlines, which was sold separately from the advertising time on the digital TV screens on China
Southern Airlines airplanes. The utilization rate for the first quarter of 2011 decreased by 14.1
percentage points year-over-year and 38.4 percentage points to 56.0%. The year-over-year and
quarter-over-quarter decreases were primarily due to the decreases in the number of time slots
sold.
3
The ASP of digital TV screens on airplanes for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 22.3%
year-over-year and by 22.8% quarter-over-quarter to US$29,325. The year-over-year and
quarter-over-quarter increases in the ASP were primarily due to the change in the mix of the time
slots sold and lower discounts offered in the first quarter of 2011 than in the same period one
year ago and in the previous quarter. The number of time slots sold on the three largest airlines,
which have significantly higher ASPs than those sold on the other airlines, accounted for a higher
percentage in the first quarter of 2011 than in the same period one year ago and in the previous
quarter.
Revenues from traditional media in airports
Revenues from traditional media in airports for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 40.4%
year-over-year and decreased by 2.2% quarter-over-quarter to US$13.9 million. The year-over-year
increase was due to increases in both the number of locations sold and the ASP of traditional media
in airports. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was due to a decrease in the ASP of traditional
media in airports, which was offset by an increase in the number of locations sold.
The number of locations sold for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 32.8% year-over-year and by
3.6% quarter-over-quarter to 522 locations primarily due to continued sales efforts and growing
acceptance of AirMedias traditional media in airports. The number of locations available for sale
for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 28.7% year-over-year and by 16.4% quarter-over-quarter
to 875 locations. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the newly signed billboards and
painted advertisement on gate bridges at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport in the
first quarter of 2011 and the commencement of operations of light boxes in Dalian Zhoushuizi
International Airport in September 2010. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to the
newly signed billboards and painted advertisement on gate bridges at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital
International Airport. The utilization rate of traditional media for the first quarter of 2011
increased by 1.9 percentage points year-over-year and decreased by 7.3 percentage points
quarter-over-quarter to 59.7%. The year-over-year increase was due to the increase in the number of
locations sold, which was partially offset by the increase in the number of locations available for
sale. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the increase in the number of
locations available for sale.
The ASP of traditional media in airports for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 5.7%
year-over-year and decreased by 5.5% quarter-over-quarter to US$26,631. The year-over-year increase
was primarily due to lower discounts offered in the first quarter of 2011 than in the same period
one year ago and more locations with higher listing prices sold in the first quarter of 2011 than
in the same period one year ago. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to higher
discounts offered in the first quarter of 2011 than in the previous quarter and more locations with
lower listing prices sold in the first quarter of 2011 than in the previous quarter.
4
Revenues from the gas station media network
Revenues from the gas station media network for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 922.2%
year-over-year and 15.4% quarter-over-quarter to US$1.8 million.
As of April 30, 2011, AirMedias gas station media network had covered total 2,509 Sinopec gas
stations. Of these gas stations, 213 are located in Beijing, 310 are in Shanghai, 103 are in
Shenzhen and the remaining 1,883 are in 58 other cities.
Revenues from other media
Revenues from other media were primarily revenues from Beijing AirMedia City Outdoor Advertising
Co., Ltd., a company AirMedia acquired in January 2010. Revenues from other media increased by 4.5%
year-over-year to US$2.6 million, which remained relatively unchanged quarter-over-quarter.
Business tax and other sales tax
Business tax and other sales tax for the first quarter of 2011 were US$1.5 million, compared to
US$1.0 million in the same period one year ago and US$2.1 million in the previous quarter. For
purposes of calculating the amount of business and other sales tax, concession fees are permitted
to be deducted from total revenues under applicable PRC tax law.
Net revenues
Net revenues for the first quarter of 2011 reached US$59.9 million, representing a year-over-year
increase of 25.4% from US$47.8 million and a quarter-over-quarter decrease of 12.8% from US$68.7
million.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2011 was US$56.2 million, representing a year-over-year
increase of 23.4% from US$45.5 million and a quarter-over-quarter increase of 3.4% from US$54.3
million. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increases in concession fees, agency fees
paid to third-party advertising agencies, and depreciation cost. The quarter-over-quarter increase
was primarily due to increases in concession fees. Cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues
in the first quarter of 2011 was 93.8%, compared to 95.3% in the same period one year ago and 79.1%
in the previous quarter.
AirMedia incurs concession fees to airports for placing and operating digital frames, digital TV
screens, traditional media and other displays in airports, to airlines for playing programs on
their digital TV screens, to Sinopec for placing outdoor media in its gas stations, and to other
media resources owners for placing unipole signs and other outdoor media.
Concession fees for the first quarter of 2011 increased by 18.5% year-over-year and by 5.8%
quarter-over-quarter to US$37.9 million. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to newly
signed or renewed concession rights contracts during the period. The quarter-over-quarter increase
was primarily due to the newly signed billboards and painted advertisement on gate bridges at
Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport. Concession fees as a percentage of net
revenues in the first quarter of 2011 was 63.2%, decreasing from 66.9% in the same period one year
ago and increasing from 52.1% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease of concession
fees as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due to the fact that revenues continued to ramp
up while incremental concession fees grew at a slower pace than revenue
growth. The quarter-over-quarter increase of concession fees as a percentage of net revenues was e
primarily because newly signed billboards and painted advertisement on gate bridges were a
low-margin business and the incremental concession fees associated with these new concession rights
contracts were fixed once concession rights contracts were entered into, while revenues generated
from newly signed concession rights contracts would take time to ramp up.
5
Gross Profit/Loss
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2011 was US$3.7 million, representing a year-over-year
increase of 65.7% from US$2.2 million and a quarter-over-quarter decrease of 74.2% from US$14.3
million.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the first quarter of 2011 was 6.2%, compared to
4.7% in the same period one year ago and 20.9% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase
in gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due to the increase in net revenues.
The quarter-over-quarter decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due
to the decreases in net revenues and the increase in cost of revenues.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were US$9.1 million, representing a
year-over-year decrease of 15.0% from US$10.8 million and a quarter-over-quarter decrease of 17.2%
from US$11.0 million.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2011 included share-based compensation expenses
of US$709,000, compared to share-based compensation expenses of US$1.8 million in the same period
one year ago and share-based compensation expenses of US$1.1 million in the previous quarter. The
year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases in share-based compensation expenses were
primarily due to the fully vesting on July 2, 2010, July 20, 2010, and November 29, 2010,
respectively, of stock options granted on July 2, 2007, July 20, 2007 and November 29, 2007,
respectively.
Adjusted operating expenses (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2011, which excluded share-based
compensation expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets, were US$7.5 million,
representing a year-over-year decrease of 7.1% from US$8.1 million and a quarter-over-quarter
decrease of 16.2% from US$8.9 million. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues
(non-GAAP) in the first quarter of 2011 was 12.5%, compared to 16.9% in the same period one year
ago and 13.0% in the previous quarter.
Please refer to the attached table captioned Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Expenses to Non-GAAP
Adjusted Operating Expenses for a reconciliation of operating expenses under U.S. GAAP to adjusted
operating expenses (non-GAAP).
Selling and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were US$4.3 million, including
share-based compensation expenses of US$281,000. This represented a year-over-year increase of 4.0%
from US$4.1 million and a quarter-over-quarter decrease of 11.9% from US$4.9 million. The
year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher expenses related to the expansion of the gas
station media network and higher sales commissions for direct sales staff. The quarter-over-quarter
decrease was primarily due to lower expenses related to the gas station media network and lower
sales commissions for direct sales staff.
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were US$4.9 million, including
share-based compensation expenses of US$428,000. This represented a year-over-year decrease of
26.8% from US$6.6 million and a quarter-over-quarter decrease of 6.3% from US$5.2 million. The
year-over-year decrease was primarily due to lower bad-debt provisions and lower share-based
compensation expenses. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to lower share-based
compensation expenses and lower travel expenses.

Income/Loss from Operations
Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2011 was US$5.4 million, as compared to loss from
operations of US$8.5 million in the same period one year ago and income from operations of US$3.3
million in the previous quarter.
Adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2011, which excluded share-based
compensation expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets, was US$3.8 million, compared

adjusted income from operations (non-GAAP) of US$5.4 million in the previous quarter. Adjusted
operating margin (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2011, which excluded the effect of share-based
compensation expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets, was negative 6.3%, compared
to negative 12.2% in the same period one year ago and 7.9% in the previous quarter.

Other than restricted cash of US$6.9 million, cash totaled US$109.9 million as of March 31, 2011,
compared to US$106.5 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase in cash from December 31, 2010
was primarily due to cash flow from operations.
ADS Repurchases
On March 21, 2011, AirMedias board of directors authorized AirMedia to repurchase up to US$20
million of its own outstanding American Depositary Shares (ADSs) within two years from March 21,
2011. As of May 8, 2011, AirMedia had repurchased an aggregate of 231,183 ADSs on the open market
for a total consideration of US$1.1 million.
Management Announcement
On May 5, 2011, AirMedias board of directors appointed Mr. James Zhonghua Feng, its former chief
operating officer, as president of the Company, effective May 6, 2011. Mr Feng Zhonghua ceased to
serve as chief operating officer of the Company, effective on the same day. Mr Feng Zhonghua was
also appointed to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, effective May 6, 2011.
Other Recent Developments
On May 6, 2011, AirMedia filed its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2010, including its audited financial statements for the year, with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.
On March 22, under its 2007 Share Incentive Plan, AirMedia granted certain employees and
consultants options to purchase a total of 2,110,000 ordinary shares with the exercise price of
US$2.3 per ordinary share, or US$4.6 per ADS. These options will vest on a straight-line basis over
a three-year period, with one-twelfth of the options vesting each quarter from the date of grant.
The incremental share-based compensation expenses associated with this grant was US$24,000 in the
first quarter of 2011 and will be additional approximately US$221,000 in the
second quarter of 2011 and each quarter going forward.
On March 21, 2011, AirMedia commenced operations of 14 sets of 65-inch stand-alone digital frames
across the airport and 14 sets of 70-inch digital frames at the baggage claim areas of Taiyuan Wusu
International Airport.
AirMedia obtained concession rights through two contracts to operate advertisements inside and
outside 59 gate bridges located at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport from
February 1, 2011 to January 31, 2013, and from March 1, 2011 to February 28, 2013, respectively.

Business Outlook
AirMedia currently expects that its total revenues for the second quarter of 2011 will range from
US$60.0 million to US$62.0 million, which include revenues of US$2.0 million from gate bridges at
Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport, representing a year-over-year increase of 6.5%
to 10.1% from the same period in 2010.
AirMedia currently expects that concession fees will be approximately US$41.3 million in the second
quarter of 2011. The quarter-over-quarter increase from the first quarter of 2011 will be primarily
due to the full-quarter operations of the newly signed billboards and painted advertisement on gate
bridges at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport.
The above forecast reflects AirMedias current and preliminary view and is therefore subject to
change. Please refer to the Safe Harbor Statement below for the factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

We define a time slot as a 30-second equivalent advertising time unit for digital TV screens in
airports and digital TV screens on airplanes, which is shown during each advertising cycle on a
weekly basis in a given airport or on a monthly basis on the routes of a given airline,
respectively. Our airport advertising programs are shown repeatedly on a daily basis during a given
week in one-hour cycles and each hour of programming includes 20 minutes of advertising content,
which allows us to sell a maximum of 40 time slots per week. The number of time slots available for
sale for our digital TV screens in airports during the period presented is calculated by
multiplying the time slots available for sale per week per airport by the number of weeks during
the period presented when we had operations in each airport and then calculating the sum of all the
time slots available for sale for each of our network airports. The length of our in-flight
programs typically ranges from approximately 45 minutes to an hour per flight, approximately five
to 13 minutes of which consist of advertising content. The number of time slots available for sale
for our digital TV screens on airplanes during the period presented is calculated by multiplying
the time slots per airline per month by the number of months during the period presented when we
had operations on each airline and then calculating the sum of all the time slots available for
sale for each of our network airlines. |
|
(2) |
|
We define a time slot as a 12-second equivalent advertising time unit for digital frames in
airports, which is shown during each standard advertising cycle on a weekly basis in a given
airport. Our standard airport advertising programs are shown repeatedly on a daily basis during a
given week in 10-minute cycles, which allows us to sell a maximum of 50 time slots per week. The
length of time slot and advertising program cycle of some digital frames in several airports are
different from the standard ones. The number of time slots available for sale for our digital
frames in airports during the period presented is calculated by multiplying the time slots per week
per airport by the number of weeks during the period presented when we had operations in each
airport and then calculating the sum of all the time slots available for each of our network
airports. |
|
(3) |
|
Number of time slots sold refers to the number of 30-second equivalent advertising time units
for digital TV screens in airports and digital TV screens on airplanes or 12-second equivalent advertising time
units for digital frames in airports sold during the period presented. |

|
|
|
(4) |
|
Utilization rate for digital TV screens in airports, digital TV screens on airplanes and
digital frames in airports refers to total time slots sold as a percentage of total time slots
available for sale during the relevant period. |
|
(5) |
|
Average advertising revenue per time slot sold for digital TV screens in airports, digital TV
screens on airplanes and digital frames in airports is calculated by dividing our revenues derived
from digital TV screens in airports, digital TV screens on airplanes and digital frames in airports
respectively by the respective number of time slots sold. |
|
(6) |
|
We define the number of locations available for sale in traditional media as the sum of (1) the
number of light boxes and billboards in Beijing, Shenzhen, Wenzhou and certain other airports
(light boxes and billboards), and (2) the number of gate bridges in certain airports (gate
bridges). |
|
(7) |
|
The number of locations sold is defined as the sum of (1) the number of light boxes and
billboards sold and (2) the number of gate bridges sold. To calculate the number of light boxes and
billboards sold in a given airport, we first calculate the utilization rates of light boxes and
billboards in such airport by dividing the total value of light boxes and billboards sold in
such airport by the total value of light boxes and billboards in such airport. The total value
of light box and billboard sold in a given airport is calculated as the daily listing prices of
each light boxes and billboards sold multiplied by their respective number of days sold during the
period presented. The total value of light boxes and billboards in a given airport is calculated
as the sum of quarterly listing prices of all the light boxes and billboards during the period
presented. The number of light boxes and billboards sold in a given airport is then calculated as
the number of light boxes and billboards available for sale in such airport multiplied by the
utilization rates of light boxes and billboards in such airport. The number of gate bridges sold in
a given airport is counted based on the contracts. |
|
(8) |
|
Utilization rate for traditional media in airports refers to total locations sold as a
percentage of total locations available for sale during the period presented. |
|
(9) |
|
Average advertising revenue per location sold is calculated by dividing the revenues derived
from all the locations sold by the number of locations sold during the period presented. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
AirMedias management uses non-GAAP financial measures to gain an understanding of AirMedias
comparative operating performance and future prospects. AirMedias non-GAAP financial measures
exclude the following non-cash items: (1) share-based compensation expenses, and (2) amortization
of acquired intangible assets. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by AirMedias management in
their financial and operating decision-making, because management believes they reflect AirMedias
ongoing business and operating performance in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period
comparisons. AirMedias management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating AirMedias operating
performance in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. Specifically, AirMedia
believes the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and
investors by excluding certain charges that the Company believes are not indicative of its core
operating results.
The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations. They do not include all items of income and
expense that affect AirMedias income from operations. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial
measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial
measures used by other companies and, with respect to the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude
certain items under GAAP, do not reflect any benefit that such items may confer to AirMedia.
Management compensates for these limitations by also considering AirMedias financial results as
determined in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to
be considered superior to, in isolation from or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance
with US GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table
captioned Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) and EPS and Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
and EPS, Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Expenses to Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses and
Reconciliation of GAAP Loss from Operations to Non-GAAP Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations
set forth at the end of this release.

Safe Harbor Statement
This announcement contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the safe
harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as will, expect, anticipate,
future, intend, plan, believe, estimate, confident and similar statements. Among other
things, the Business Outlook section and the quotations from management in this announcement, as
well as AirMedia Group Inc.s strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements.
AirMedia may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its reports to the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and
other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to
third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about AirMedias
beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve
inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to: if advertisers or the viewing public do not accept,
or lose interest in, Airmedias air travel advertising network, Airmedia may be unable to generate
sufficient cash flow from its operating activities and its prospects and results of operations
could be negatively affected; Airmedia derives most of its revenues from the provision of air
travel advertising services, and any slowdown in the air travel advertising industry in China may
materially and adversely affect its revenues and results of operations; Airmedias strategy of
expanding its advertising network by building new air travel media platforms and expanding into
traditional media in airports may not succeed, and its failure to do so could materially reduce the
attractiveness of its network and harm its business, reputation and results of operations; if
Airmedia does not succeed in its expansion into gas station and other outdoor media advertising,
its future results of operations and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected; if
Airmedias customers reduce their advertising spending or are unable to pay Airmedia in full, in
part or at all for a period of time due to an economic downturn in China and/or elsewhere or for
any other reason, Airmedias revenues and results of operations may be materially and adversely
affected; Airmedia faces risks related to health epidemics, which could materially and adversely
affect air travel and result in reduced demand for its advertising services or disrupt its
operations; if Airmedia is unable to retain existing concession rights contracts or obtain new
concession rights contracts on commercially advantageous terms that allow it to operate its
advertising platforms, Airmedia may be unable to maintain or expand its network coverage and its
business and prospects may be harmed; a significant portion of Airmedias revenues has been derived
from the five largest airports and three largest airlines in China, and if any of these airports or
airlines experiences a material business disruption, Airmedias ability to generate revenues and
its results of operations would be materially and adversely affected; Airmedias limited operating
history makes it difficult to evaluate its future prospects and results of operations; and other
risks outlined in AirMedias filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. AirMedia
does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under
applicable law.

Safe Harbor Statement
This announcement contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the safe
harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as will, expect, anticipate,
future, intend, plan, believe, estimate, confident and similar statements. Among other
things, the quotation from management in this announcement as well as AirMedias strategic and
operational plans contain forward-looking statements. AirMedia may also make written or oral
forward-looking statements in its reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in its
annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements
made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical
facts, including statements about AirMedias beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A
number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
if advertisers or the viewing public do not accept, or lose interest in, Airmedias air travel
advertising network, Airmedia may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow from its operating
activities and its prospects and results of operations could be negatively affected; Airmedia
derives most of its revenues from the provision of air travel advertising services, and any
slowdown in the air travel advertising industry in China may materially and adversely affect its
revenues and results of operations; Airmedias strategy of expanding its advertising network by
building new air travel media platforms and expanding into traditional media in airports may not
succeed, and its failure to do so could materially reduce the attractiveness of its network and
harm its business, reputation and results of operations; if Airmedia does not succeed in its
expansion into gas station and other outdoor media advertising, its future results of operations
and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected; if Airmedias customers reduce their
advertising spending or are unable to pay Airmedia in full, in part or at all for a period of time
due to an economic downturn in China and/or elsewhere or for any other reason, Airmedias revenues
and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected; Airmedia faces risks related to
health epidemics, which could materially and adversely affect air travel and result in reduced
demand for its advertising services or disrupt its operations; if Airmedia is unable to retain
existing concession rights contracts or obtain new concession rights contracts on commercially
advantageous terms that allow it to operate its advertising platforms, Airmedia may be unable to
maintain or expand its network coverage and its business and prospects may be harmed; a significant
portion of Airmedias revenues has been derived from the five largest airports and three largest
airlines in China, and if any of these airports or airlines experiences a material business
disruption, Airmedias ability to generate revenues and its results of operations would be
materially and adversely affected; Airmedias limited operating history makes it difficult to
evaluate its future prospects and results of operations; and other risks outlined in AirMedias
filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. AirMedia does not undertake any
obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.
