21Vianet Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:VNET) ("21Vianet" or the "Company"), a
leading carrier-neutral internet data center services provider in
China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the
fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016. The Company
will hold a conference call at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday,
March 8, 2017. Dial-in details are provided at the end of the
release.
Mr. Steve Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, stated, "Despite facing severe headwinds in our managed
network services business, we continue to see stable growth in our
core IDC, VPN, and cloud businesses this quarter. Last December, in
partnership with Microsoft, we launched Power BI, a business data
analytics cloud service, adding to our wide-array of cloud
offerings for our customers. Most recently, we finalized and signed
an investment agreement with Warburg Pincus, which expands upon the
strategic agreement previously announced. The end result remains
the same, as we will establish joint ventures for our digital real
estate business with a focus on the customized wholesale data
center market, and will aim to build out 80,000 to 100,000
additional cabinets in the next five to seven years. Our core
retail colocation and cloud services will be supplemented with
wholesale data center services, providing more complete and
expanded service offerings to our customers. This restructuring of
our business will allow us to continue to fine-tune our Capex
structure, improve our operating leverage, and provide customers
with more value-added services such as hybrid cloud solutions. With
the evolving internet landscape in China and the strong demands of
internet traffic, computing, and data storage, we will solidify our
position as a leading internet infrastructure services provider and
meet the ever-changing needs of our customers."
Mr. Terry Wang, Chief Financial Officer of the
Company, further commented, "We are pleased to announce that we met
our fourth quarter and full year guidance for both top line net
revenues and adjusted EBITDA. In 2016, we increased our total
revenues to RMB3.64 billion, which was primarily driven by a 14.2%
year-over-year increase in revenues from our hosting and related
businesses. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we added over 300
cabinets in our self-built data centers, bringing the total number
of cabinets up to 26,380. Our cloud business maintained its growth
trajectory, which was mainly attributable to the robust results
from our partnerships with Microsoft and IBM. Looking forward, we
will aim to consistently deploy new cabinets and enhance our
monthly recurring revenues in order to reignite our top line growth
and realize margin expansion. Additionally, even though our MNS and
CDN businesses continued to experience pricing pressure and intense
competition in 2016, we began seeing signs of price stabilization.
We are confident that we will generate further value for our
shareholders through our continuous effort to optimize operations,
our sustainable investment in asset-light businesses and the
emerging opportunities in customized wholesale data centers."
Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial
Results
REVENUES: Net revenues for the
fourth quarter of 2016 were RMB900.6 million (US$129.7 million), as
compared with RMB983.4 million in the comparative period in 2015.
The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in MNS revenues.
Net revenues from hosting and related services
increased by 4.7% to RMB790.1 million (US$113.8 million) in the
fourth quarter of 2016 from RMB754.7 million in the comparative
period in 2015, primarily due to an increase in total number of
billable cabinets, partially offset by the lower utilization rate
and MRR, or monthly recurring revenue, per cabinet.
Net revenues from MNS were RMB110.6 million
(US$15.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared with
RMB228.7 million in the comparative period in 2015. The decrease
was primarily due to a 107 million decrease in Aipu revenues, which
was driven by intensified competition.
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit for
the fourth quarter of 2016 was RMB183.4 million (US$26.4 million),
as compared with RMB219.2 million in the comparative period in
2015. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 20.4%, as
compared with 22.3% in the comparative period in 2015.
Adjusted gross profit, which excludes
share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible
assets derived from acquisitions, was RMB222.6 million (US$32.1
million) in the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared with RMB264.3
million in the comparative period in 2015. Adjusted gross margin
was 24.7% in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with 26.9% in the
comparative period in 2015.

operating expenses were RMB690.4 million (US$99.4 million) in the
fourth quarter of 2016, as compared with RMB314.5 million in the
comparative period in 2015. Adjusted operating expenses, which
exclude a one-time impairment of long-term asset, share-based
compensation expenses and changes in the fair value of contingent
purchase consideration payable, were RMB309.8 million (US$44.6
million), as compared with RMB275.9 million in the comparative
period in 2015. As a percentage of net revenues, adjusted operating
expenses were 34.4%, as compared with 28.1% in the comparative
period in 2015.
Sales and marketing expenses were RMB92.0
million (US$13.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2016, as
compared with RMB101.8 million in the comparative period in 2015.
The decrease was primarily due to reduced agency fees.
General and administrative expenses were
RMB186.7 million (US$26.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2016,
as compared with RMB141.0 million in the comparative period in
2015. The increase was primarily due to increased staff cost.
Research and development expenses were RMB38.4
million (US$5.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared
with RMB41.6 million in the comparative period in 2015.
Bad debt provisions were RMB47.5 million (US$6.8
million) in the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared with RMB25.1
million in the comparative period in 2015.
Changes in the fair value of contingent purchase
consideration payable was a gain of RMB67.2 million (US$9.7
million) in the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared with a loss of
RMB5.1 million in the comparative period in 2015.
One-time impairment of long-term asset was
RMB392.9 million (US$56.6 million) in the fourth quarter of
2016.
ADJUSTED EBITDA: Adjusted
EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2016 was RMB52.0 million (US$7.5
million), as compared with RMB102.1 million in the comparative
period in 2015. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due
to the inclusion of a RMB47.5 million bad debt provision. Adjusted
EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 5.8% compared with
10.4% in the comparative period in 2015. Adjusted EBITDA for the
fourth quarter of 2016 excludes a one-time impairment of long-term
asset of RMB392.9 million (US$56.6 million), share-based
compensation expenses of RMB56.7 million (US$8.2 million) and
changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration

was RMB66.1 million (US$9.5 million), as compared with an adjusted

negative 3.0% in the comparative period in 2015.
LOSS PER SHARE: Diluted loss
per share for the fourth quarter of 2016 was RMB0.69, which
represents the equivalent of RMB4.14 (US$0.60) per American
Depositary Share ("ADS"). Each ADS represents six ordinary shares.
Adjusted diluted loss per share for the fourth quarter of 2016 was
RMB0.08, which represents the equivalent of RMB0.48 (US$0.07) per
ADS. Adjusted diluted loss per share is calculated using adjusted
net loss as discussed above divided by the weighted average number
of shares.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a total
