VANCEINFO TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS STRONG GROWTH IN

REVENUES AND NET INCOME FOR

THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2007

Beijing, February 27, 2007 – VanceInfo Technologies Inc. (NYSE:VIT), an IT service provider and one of the leading offshore software development companies in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2007 Financial and Operating Highlights

 

 

Net revenues for the fourth quarter were US$19.3 million, up 96.1% from the fourth quarter 2006.

 

 

Net revenues for the year 2007 were $62.7 million, up 115.9% from 2006.

 

 

Gross margin was 38.6% in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 38.5% for the year, up from 37.2% and 38.2%, respectively, for the same periods in 2006.

 

 

Net income for the fourth quarter was US$3.1 million, up 136.3% from the fourth quarter of 2006.

 

 

Net income for the full year 2007 was US$9.6 million, up 118.7% from 2006.

 

 

Employees at year end 2007 totaled 3,675, up 60.5% from year end 2006. Of these, billable professionals totaled 3,224, up 64.3% from year end 2006.

“We are pleased to announce our fourth quarter and annual results for the first time as a public company, especially given our strong performance for both the quarter and the year,” commented Mr. Chris Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VanceInfo Technologies. Historically, our business tended to be stronger in the second and third quarters due to the seasonality of the business related to working days, but this year, our fourth quarter results clearly exceeded those of our third quarter. This strong performance

demonstrates our ability to execute our strategies and positions us for sustained growth. During the fourth quarter, we continued to improve our service quality and to generate increasing customer demand. In particular, revenues from research & development services, quality assurance & testing, and application development & maintenance were up strongly due to increased demand from both current and new clients. I believe our long-term commitment to expand geographically and to provide clients with a higher quality service has contributed to our growth in 2007. We expect further robust growth, driven by the booming Chinese economy, the growing number of multinational corporations expanding in China, and the fast-maturing engineering and IT workforce in China. Additionally, China is increasingly becoming an important alternative for IT outsourcing solutions. These highly favorable trends should largely mitigate the potential effects of the U.S. economic slowdown.”

Fourth Quarter 2007 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues were US$19.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, up 96.1% from the same quarter of 2006. The increase in net revenues was primarily driven by the strong organic growth from VanceInfo’s existing clients, incremental revenues and cross-selling revenue synergies from a number of small acquisitions completed in the first nine months of 2007, and the new client relationships developed during the year.

Table of Contents

Net revenues from research & development services grew 66% compared with the fourth quarter of 2006 and continued to account for the majority of the Company’s revenues. Net revenues from enterprise solutions and application development & maintenance had the strongest growth, up 338 % and 284%, respectively, from the fourth quarter of 2006 as a result of significant organic investments and selective acquisitions.

Net Revenues by Geographic Markets

Based on the location of the clients’ headquarters, the U.S. was the largest of the Company’s geographic markets, accounting for US$12.2 million, or 63.2% of net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007, followed by 13.2% from clients headquartered in China, 11.6% in Europe and 11.6% in Japan. However, of the US$12.2 million net revenues from U.S. headquartered clients, more than 70% were contracted with their Chinese or other Asian subsidiaries, driven by these customers’ rising investments in the Asia Pacific region and desire to grow their businesses in the China markets. As a result, the Company has experienced minimal effect from the U.S. economic slowdown. For the same reason, only 20.4% of the Company’s net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007 were subject to any effect from the U.S. dollar depreciation against the Chinese Renminbi.

Top Clients

The Company’s client population continued to become more diverse, and the net revenues have become less dependent on a few large clients. For example, the total revenues from the Company’s largest two clients, Microsoft and IBM, accounted for 29.8% of the Company’s net revenues in the fourth quarter, compared to 53.2% of net revenues in the fourth quarter 2006. Similarly, revenues from the top five clients totaled 49.1% of net revenues in the quarter, compared to 68.8% in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2007 was US$7.4 million, an increase of 103.1% from the fourth quarter of 2006. Gross margin was 38.6% in the fourth quarter of 2007, up from 37.2% in the fourth quarter of last year, as the Company continued to optimize its service mix with improved average billing rates while effectively managing the staff costs.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses in the fourth quarter 2007 were US$5.5 million, compared to US$2.3 million in the fourth quarter 2006. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to increased general and administrative expenses associated with becoming a public company, as well as higher selling and marketing expenses due to recent hires in the United States as part of the Company’s global business development efforts. The fourth quarter operating expenses also included US$0.4 million in professional fees that will not recur on a quarterly basis going forward.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income was US$0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, consisting primarily of government grants that the Company received for its internal process management system and to subsidize part of the Company’s training costs incurred in 2007. The Company expects continued financial support from the Chinese government in areas such as employee training and process improvements.

Operating Income and Margin

Income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2007 was US$2.7 million, compared to US$1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Operating margin was 13.9% in the fourth quarter of 2007, up from 13.4% in the fourth quarter of 2006, mainly due to gross margin expansion, partly offset by the higher selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses to support the Company’s continuing strong growth, as well as higher expenses associated with becoming a public company.

Net Income and EPS

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2007 was US$3.1 million, up 136.3% from US$1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Net margin was 16.2% in the fourth quarter 2007, up from 13.4% in the same period last year. The quarter’s diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were US$0.07, up from US$0.02 in the fourth quarter 2006. Non-GAAP diluted EPS, which assumes conversion of the preferred shares for the entire quarter and excludes share-based compensation expense, was US$0.10 in the fourth quarter, compared to US$0.05 in the same period of 2006.

The non-GAAP measures are described below and reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the section below titled “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Net revenues from both enterprise solutions and application development & maintenance grew more than 300% compared with 2006, as the Company expanded its service offerings and moved aggressively into these new service lines through both organic investments and strategic acquisitions.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for the full year 2007 was US$24.2 million, an increase of 117.9% from US$11.1 million in 2006. Gross margin was 38.5% in the full year 2007, up from 38.2% in 2006 as the Company continued to move up the value chain and provided new higher margin services.

Net Income and EPS

Net income for the year 2007 was US$9.6 million, up 118.7% from US$4.4 million in 2006. Net margin was 15.3% in 2007, up from 15.1% in 2006. Diluted EPS for the year was US$0.19, up from US$0.07 in 2006. Non-GAAP diluted EPS, which assumes

conversion of the preferred shares for the entire year and excludes share-based compensation expense, were US$0.34 for the full year 2007, compared to US$0.21 in 2006.

Business Outlook for First Quarter and Full Year 2008

VanceInfo expects to generate net revenues between US$18.5 million and US$19.5 million in the first quarter 2008, representing a 77% to 87% increase from the corresponding period in 2007. First quarter diluted EPS is expected to be US$0.06 on a GAAP basis and US$0.07 on a non-GAAP basis, which excludes share-based compensation, based on 40.3 million total ADS-equivalent average shares outstanding. The first quarter diluted EPS reflects the normal seasonality effect from the extended Chinese New Year holiday and the increased average shares outstanding after the Company’s initial public offering in December 2007.

For the full year 2008, the Company expects to generate net revenues between US$92 million and US$96 million, representing a 47% to 53% increase from 2007. The Company expects to report diluted EPS between US$0.34 and US$0.38 on a GAAP basis, and non-GAAP diluted EPS excluding share-based compensation between US$0.37 and US$0.41, based on 40.6 million total ADS-equivalent average shares outstanding.

Total headcount by the end of 2008 is expected to be between 4,800 and 5,000.

Chairman and CEO, Mr. Chris Chen, continued, “Our strategic and operating plans are in place, and we have been executing well, adding new clients and talented employees, developing new tools and advanced processes, and delivering on our clients’ and our investors’ expectations. We expect to continue that trend.”

its services lines and industry expertise, and the availability of a large talent pool in China and supply of qualified professionals, as well as the PRC government’s investment in infrastructure construction and adoption of various incentives in the IT service industry. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in VanceInfo’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its registration statement on Form F-1. All information provided in this press release and in the attachments is as of February 27, 2008, and VanceInfo does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable law.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement VanceInfo’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, VanceInfo uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and diluted EPS excluding share-based compensation expenses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures” set forth at the end of this release.

VanceInfo believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. A limitation of using non-GAAP net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and diluted EPS excluding share-based compensation expenses is that these non-GAAP measures exclude the share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
