Operating Metrics as of December 31, 2014

As a reminder, beginning in the third quarter of 2014, the Company began presenting the operating metrics of average monthly active user accounts ("MAUs") as redefined to include many emerging businesses previously not included in the Company's user account metrics. The MAUs presented herein include the user accounts in NQ Live, Music Radar and more recent investments such as Yipai and Showself, among others. As such, the MAUs presented herein should only be compared to the third quarter of 2014 and not be compared to operating metrics previously reported in historical periods because there is not a way to accurately compare such results. The MAUs for the period presented herein and going forward are expected to be better aligned with the key underlying trends of a mobile internet platform company focused on driving mobile consumer traffic and engagement that can be monetized. The MAU statistics do not include the users addressed by the installation of the Company's advertising SDK into third-party applications. These indirect users generate impressions and search traffic that the Company can monetize outside of the user accounts generated directly by the Company's own portfolio of products and applications.

Average Monthly Active User Accounts as of December 31, 2014: 160.8 million

"We are pleased to report record revenues both for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year of 2014, as we continued our transition toward the traffic-based mobile entertainment business," said Dr. Vincent Wenyong Shi, Chairman, Chief Operating Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer of NQ Mobile. "With the challenging year of 2014 now behind us, our transition is in full swing as we firmly further execute our various strategic initiatives. In addition to our top-line growth, we were also encouraged to see sequential improvement for our margins that indicates stabilization of profitability. We believe we are well-positioned to capture the growth opportunities in the mobile internet landscape."

Fourth Quarter 2014 Results

Revenues

Net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 32.2% year-over-year to $89.7 million from $67.9 million in the same period in 2013.

Mobile value added service revenues decreased 9.9% year-over-year to $24.4 million from $27.1 million in the same period in 2013. The decrease in mobile value added service revenues was due to the decrease in consumer mobile security revenues, which in turn was primarily due to the Company's moving its focus away from premium security services and focusing more on mobile applications and services. This decrease was offset partially by the growth in mobile gaming revenues and the inclusion of live mobile social video platform revenues. The increase in mobile gaming revenues was primarily the result of the rapid growth of FL Mobile's game platform and the launch of new games in the fourth quarter of 2014. The inclusion of live mobile social video platform revenues is the result of the consolidation of Showself.

Advertising revenues increased 22.2% year-over-year to $20.4 million from $16.7 million in the same period in 2013.The growth was due to increased monetization through advertising and successful third party application referrals resulting mainly from WAPS and Fanyue, the Company's online and offline advertising networks.

Enterprise mobility revenues increased 87.2% year-over-year to $44.0 million from $23.5 million in the same period in 2013.This increase is mainly due to the fast growth of the enterprise mobility business as a result of obtaining a premium distributor agreement with Apple Inc. as well as the acquisition of Trustek, which is also a premium distributor for Apple Inc. In addition, the growth of the services and software component of Enterprise Mobility also reached a record level in the fourth quarter and showed sequential improvement throughout 2014.

Other revenues increased 60.4% year-over-year to $0.9 million from $0.5 million in the same period in 2013. Other revenues are generated primarily by providing technical contract services to third parties and fluctuate as such business is driven by individual projects.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 81.8% year-over-year to $63.1 million from $34.7 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher cost of products for the enterprise mobility business, which totaled $34.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $17.8 million in the same period last year. Customer acquisition costs, including advertising inventory costs, or the cost that the Company pays developers and other partners for advertising space (inventory), increased to $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $6.8 million in the same period in 2013. The cost of additional revenue sharing, which is incurred mainly for the Company's mobile game business increased to $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $2.1 million in the same period last year.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2014 decreased 19.9% to $26.5 million from $33.1 million in the same period in 2013. Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, was 29.6% in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with 48.8% in the same period in 2013. Excluding the impact from the enterprise mobility business, gross margin was 42.2% in the fourth quarter of 2014, down from 63.6% in the same period in 2013.The primary reason for the decline in gross profit and gross margin is the expansion of the enterprise mobility business which has a lower margin compared with other business of the Company as well as the increase of cost of revenues detailed above.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 22.9% year-over-year to $46.5 million from $37.8 million in the same period in 2013.Non-GAAP operating expenses, which exclude share-based compensation and expenses incurred for the handling of short seller allegations, increased 19.1% year-over-year to $24.5 million from $20.5 million in the same period in 2013.

Selling and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 decreased 14.8% year-over-year to $6.6 million from $7.8 million in the same period in 2013. Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, decreased 14.3% year-over-year to $6.4 million from $7.5 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the decrease in overseas promotional channels associated with the consumer mobile security business.

General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 31.1% year-over-year to $31.4 million from $24.0 million in the same period in 2013. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, which excludes share-based compensation and the expenses incurred for the handling of short seller allegations, increased 33.7% year-over-year to $9.8 million, up from $7.3 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher staff costs associated with headcount growth, partially offset by decreased bad debt expenses.

Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 39.0% year-over-year to $8.4 million from $6.0 million in the same period in 2013. Non-GAAP research and development expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, increased 44.1% to $8.3 million from $5.7 million in the same period in 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), NQ Mobile's management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, income from operations and net income attributable to NQ Mobile, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the handling of short seller allegations and interest expenses related to convertible debts. The Company also uses non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per ADS, which is the non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADS.

The Company's non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help the Company's investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors' overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of the Company's continuing operations and its prospects for the future. The Company's non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, the Company's calculation of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of NQ Mobile's current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, income from operations and net income attributable to NQ Mobile, excluding share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the handling short seller allegations and interest expenses related to convertible debts, are that these items has been and may continue to be a significant expense in the Company's business for the foreseeable future. In order to mitigate these limitations the Company has provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables include details on the reconciliation between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has presented.
