Management Comments
"I am pleased to report another record setting quarter as our business
continues to gain strong momentum," commented Mr.Michael Yao, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of 58.com. "Our overall traffic increased to record
high levels. Mobile traffic continued to grow at a much faster pace than PC
traffic, with 54% of traffic coming from our mobile platforms demonstrating
the traction we are gaining. While we continue to be the leading player in
China's multi-category local services market, we need to invest aggressively
now to strengthen our competitive advantages in order to extend our lead
and ensure future sustainable growth."
Mr. Hao Zhou, Chief Financial Officer of 58.com added, "Our revenues
exceeded the high end of our guidance for the third consecutive quarter
since our IPO. The number of subscription-based paying merchant members
during the second quarter of 2014 exceeded 500,000 for the first time.
However, it is still less than 10% of the merchants that use our platform
and is an even smaller fraction of the SME merchants population in China.
Our profitability and cash position give us more power to re-invest in
growing our business, including M&A activities to further expand market
share."
