BEIJING, May 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 21Vianet Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNET) (“21Vianet” or the “Company”), a leading carrier- and cloud-neutral Internet data center services provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company will hold a conference call at 8:00 P.M. on Thursday, May 14, 2020, U.S. Eastern Time to discuss the financial results. Dial-in details are provided at the end of this release.

First Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

· Net revenues increased by 25.1% to RMB1.09 billion (US$154.1 million) from RMB871.9 million in the same period of 2019.

· Adjusted cash gross profit (non-GAAP) increased by 2.6% to RMB417.1 million (US$58.9 million) from RMB406.7 million in the same period of 2019. Adjusted cash gross margin (non-GAAP) was 38.2%, compared to 46.6% in the same period of 2019.

· Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) increased by 2.3% to RMB259.4 million (US$36.6 million) from RMB253.5 million in the same period of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) was 23.8%, compared to 29.1% in the same period of 2019.

First Quarter 2020 Operational Highlights

· Retail IDC MRR1 per cabinet decreased slightly to RMB8,747 in the first quarter of 2020, compared to RMB8,788 in the same period of 2019 and RMB8,822 in the fourth quarter of 2019.

· Total cabinets under management increased by 3,355 to 39,646 as of March 31, 2020, compared to 36,291 as of December 31, 2019, and 30,578 as of March 31, 2019.

· Compound utilization rate in the first quarter of 2020 fell to 60.4% from 65.6% in the fourth quarter of 2019, mainly due to the continuous delivery of additional cabinets in the first quarter of 2020. Utilization rate for mature IDCs delivered prior to 2019 improved to 72.3% in the first quarter of 2020 from 71.8% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Utilization rate for newly-built and ramp-up IDCs delivered since 2019 improved to 12.3% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 8.6% in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Mr. Alvin Wang, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, stated, “During the first quarter of 2020, we delivered solid financial and operating results despite the immediate challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. In the face of these near-term headwinds, our preventative measures and effective execution allowed us to operate our data centers without interruptions, report zero infection cases, maintain our cabinet delivery schedule, and promptly resume construction upon the virus’ containment. Notably, our operating efficiency was further bolstered by the industry’s healthy growth trajectory in the period, which continued to ramp up due to the ongoing trend of corporate digitization. Moreover, we also benefited from industry tailwinds in both online education and cloud computing, which experienced an uptick in business activity during the quarantine period. All of our cabinet construction projects have resumed to date. As such, while we advance into 2020, we remain confident in our ability to meet the deadlines of our three-year growth plan for the year, emboldened by our growth prospects, and determined to help advance the industry going forward.”

1 Retail IDC MRR: Refers to Monthly Recurring Revenues for the retail IDC business.

Ms. Sharon Liu, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, “We delivered a strong financial performance in the first quarter of 2020, with revenue hitting the high end of our guidance and adjusted EBITDA being around the midpoint of our previous range. Notably, while we continued to expand our cabinet capacity and bolster our client base, we also leveraged our robust client network and established market leadership to further refine our operating efficiency. Going forward, we will continue to invest in line with our three-year growth plan while closely monitoring the market landscape to capitalize on those opportunities that we judge to have attractive returns and enhance our growth trajectory.”

First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

REVENUES: Net revenues in the first quarter of 2020 increased by 25.1% to RMB1.09 billion (US$154.1 million) from RMB871.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, representing an increase of 4.1% from RMB1.05 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the growing demand for data centers in the domestic market, driven by the ongoing expansion of corporate digitization across China, and an uptick in cabinet demand from the Company’s retail clients as a result of the pandemic.

GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit in the first quarter of 2020 was RMB234.1 million (US$33.1 million), compared to RMB240.8 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB247.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2020 was 21.5%, compared to 27.6% in the same period of 2019 and 23.6% in the fourth quarter of 2019. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the delivery of additional IDC capacity.

ADJUSTED CASH GROSS PROFIT (non-GAAP): Adjusted cash gross profit, which is defined as gross profit excluding depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation expenses, was RMB417.1 million (US$58.9 million) in the first quarter of 2020, compared to RMB406.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 and RMB425.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted cash gross margin in the first quarter of 2020 was 38.2%, compared to 46.6% in the same period of 2019 and 40.6% in the fourth quarter of 2019.

OPERATING EXPENSES: Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were RMB197.4 million (US$27.9 million), compared to RMB187.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 and RMB244.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, total operating expenses decreased to 18.1% in the first quarter of 2020 from 21.5% in the first quarter of 2019 and 23.3% in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2020 increased by 10.5% to RMB48.7 million (US$6.9 million) from RMB44.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, representing a decrease of 22.9% from RMB63.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The year-over-year increase in sales and marketing expenses was in line with the Company’s business expansion efforts, while the quarter-over-quarter decrease in sales and marketing expenses was mainly attributable to a decrease in sales and marketing activities during the quarantine period.

Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were RMB21.0 million (US$3.0 million), compared to RMB22.6 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB24.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were RMB125.2 million (US$17.7 million), compared to RMB120.8 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB110.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to increased share-based compensation expenses.

ADJUSTED OPERATING EXPENSES (non-GAAP) : Adjusted operating expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses and impairment of receivables from equity investees, increased by 3.8% to RMB177.8 million (US$25.1 million) in the first quarter of 2020 from RMB171.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, representing a decrease of 3.5% from RMB184.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, adjusted operating expenses reduced to 16.3% in the first quarter of 2020 from 19.6% in the first quarter of 2019 and 17.6% in the fourth quarter of 2019.

ADJUSTED EBITDA (non-GAAP) : Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020 was RMB259.4 million (US$36.6 million), compared to RMB253.5 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB263.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020 excluded share-based compensation expenses of RMB20.1 million (US$2.8 million). Adjusted EBITDA margin was 23.8% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 29.1% in the same period of 2019 and 25.2% in the fourth quarter of 2019.

NET PROFIT/LOSS: Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders in the first quarter of 2020 was RMB138.8 million (US$19.6 million), compared to a net profit of RMB5.6 million in the first quarter of 2019 and a net loss of RMB16.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders in the first quarter of 2020 included a foreign exchange loss of RMB41.7 million (US$5.9 million), compared to a foreign exchange gain of RMB29.5 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB22.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, and an interest expense of RMB102.3 million (US$14.4 million), compared to RMB69.4 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB88.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

PROFIT/LOSS PER SHARE: Basic and diluted loss per share were RMB0.18 (US$0.03) in the first quarter of 2020, which represents the equivalent of RMB1.08 (US$0.18) per American Depositary Share (“ADS”). Each ADS represents six ordinary shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated using net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments were RMB3.49 billion (US$492.5 million).

Net cash generated from operating activities in the first quarter of 2020 was RMB58.7 million (US$8.3 million), compared to RMB32.4 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB444.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Recent Development

In May 2020, the Company signed two memorandums of understanding with a leading internet company in China to provide colocation services in North China and East China using the Company’s existing resources. The construction is planned to be completed in different stages throughout 2020 and 2021.

Financial Outlook

For the second quarter of 2020, the Company expects net revenues to be in the range of RMB1,140 million to RMB1,160 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of RMB290 million to RMB310 million.

For the full year of 2020, the Company expects net revenues to be in the range of RMB4,600 million to RMB4,800 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of RMB1,250 million to RMB1,350 million. The midpoints of the Company’s updated estimates imply an increase of 24.0% year over year both in net revenues and adjusted EBITDA.

The forecast reflects the Company’s current and preliminary view on the market and its operational conditions, which do not factor in any of the future impacts potentially caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and are subject to change.
