Fourth Quarter 2009 Results

Concord Medical reported total net revenues of RMB86.8 million ($12.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2009, a 24.3% increase from the corresponding period in 2008, primarily due to an increase in patient cases from existing centers and the opening of new centers.

Cost of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 was RMB25.0 million (US$3.7 million), a 45.2% increase from the corresponding period in 2008, primarily due to an increase in depreciation costs related to new equipment installation in 2009.

Gross profit margin in the fourth quarter of 2009 was 71.2% as compared to 71.4% in the previous quarter and 75.3% in the corresponding period in 2008.

Operating expenses, consisting of selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, were RMB13.3 million ($2.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to RMB9.7 million in the previous quarter and RMB8.6 million in the corresponding period in 2008. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to an increase in salary and compensation expenses related to business expansion, and RMB1.0 million in share-based compensation expenses associated with certain option grants in November 2009.

Operating income was RMB48.4 million ($7.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009, representing a 10.2% increase from the corresponding period in 2008. Operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) was RMB49.4 million ($7.2 million), a 12.5% increase from the corresponding period in 2008.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 22.9% as compared to 23.0% in the third quarter of 2009 and 21.5% for the corresponding period in 2008.

Net income was RMB35.9 million ($5.3 million), representing an 8.2% decrease from the corresponding period in 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a RMB7.7 million one-time gain recognized as other income in the fourth quarter of 2008. Both basic and diluted earnings per ADS for the fourth quarter of 2009 amounted to RMB0.69($0.10).

Net income excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) was RMB36.9 million ($5.4 million), a 5.6% decrease from the corresponding period in 2008. Both basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2009 amounted to RMB0.72($0.11).

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), was RMB 72.1 million ($10.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2009, representing a 22.3% increase from the corresponding period in 2008.

Days sales outstanding decreased to approximately 120 days in the fourth quarter of 2009 from approximately 128 days in the previous quarter.

Fiscal Year 2009 Results

Total net revenues in 2009 were RMB292.4 million ($42.8 million), representing a 70.2% increase from RMB171.8 million in 2008, primarily due to (i) an increase in patient cases from existing centers and the opening of new centers, and (ii) consolidation of China Medstar's revenues for the entire fiscal year 2009 as compared to for the last five months of 2008, as a result of the acquisition of China Medstar being completed in July 2008.

Cost of revenues in 2009 was RMB87.6 million (US$12.8 million), representing a 92.0% increase from RMB45.6 million in 2008, primarily due to the an increase depreciation cost related to the opening of new centers and the resulting increase in salaries and benefits to additional personnel employed and assigned to the new centers.

Gross profit margin in 2009 was 70.1%, compared to 73.5% in 2008. This decrease was primarily due to (i) higher operating costs associated with having a bigger number of new centers in their ramp-up periods, and (ii) an increase in the number of centers that offered diagnostic imaging services, which generally have a lower margin than radiotherapy treatment services.

Selling expenses in 2009 were RMB7.7 million ($1.1 million), representing a 39.6% increase from RMB5.5 million in 2008, which was primarily due to increases in headcount and marketing and other expenses to support increased business development efforts.

General and administrative expenses in 2009 were RMB29.8 million ($4.4 million), representing a 58.0% increase from RMB18.9 million in 2008, which was primarily due to (i) increases in headcount and travel expenses, and (ii) increases in auditing expenses and share based compensation charges. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased to 10.2% in 2009 from 11.0% in 2008 mainly due to economies of scale.

These forward looking statements are based upon management's current views and expectations with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. Furthermore, these statements are, by their nature, subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance and results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors.

Statement Regarding Unaudited Financial Information

The Company's independent auditors are in the process of completing an audit of the Company's U.S. GAAP financial statements for 2009. These unaudited 2009 numbers disclosed in this announcement are, therefore, subject to change.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Concord Medical uses certain non-GAAP measures. The Company presents certain of its financial information that is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company's core operating results as such expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and do not impact its cash earnings. Concord Medical also believes these non-GAAP measures excluding share-based compensation expense are important in helping investors to understand the Company's current financial performance and future prospects and to compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. In addition, Concord Medical also presents the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined in this announcement as net (loss) income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses and other adjustments. Other adjustments include change in fair value of convertible notes, foreign exchange loss and other income. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of items that the Company does not consider indicative of the performance of its network of centers. The Company believes investors will similarly use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the key metrics to evaluate its financial performance and to compare its current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with other companies in the healthcare services industry. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial statements.
