THIRD QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were US$82.6 million, a 31.4% increase from the corresponding period in 2014, primarily due to increases in one-time commission revenues, recurring service fees and performance-based income.
| Wealth Management Business |
| Net revenues from one-time commissions for the third quarter of 2015 were US$27.8 million, a 10.9% increase from the corresponding period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in the aggregate value of the wealth management products distributed by the Company. |
3
| Net revenues from recurring service fees for the third quarter of 2015 were US$24.8 million, a 8.3% increase from the corresponding period in 2014, mainly due to the cumulative effect of finance products previously distributed by the Company with chargeable recurring service fees, which was partially offset by the impact of lower recurring service fee rates due to a change in product mix. |
| Net revenues from performance-based income for the third quarter of 2015 were US$5.4 million, primarily consisting of performance-based income received for the positive performance of the secondary equity market fund products distributed by the Company. |
| Net revenues from other service fees for the third quarter of 2015 were US$1.3 million, compared with US$0.2 million in the corresponding period of 2014. |

DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:
In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Companys earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of all forms of share-based compensation. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest GAAP measures is set forth in the table captioned Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results below.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company may be prepared differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
When evaluating the Companys operating performance in the periods presented, management reviewed non-GAAP net income results reflecting adjustments to exclude the impacts of share-based compensation to supplement U.S. GAAP financial data. As such, the Company believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP income per diluted ADS and non-GAAP net margin provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Companys financial condition and results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, the Company recognized significant amounts of expenses for the restricted shares and share options in the periods presented. The Company utilized the non-GAAP financial results to make financial results comparable period to period and to better understand its historical business operations.
