Management Comments
"We delivered solid financial and operational results for the third quarter with revenues exceeding the high end of our guidance," commented Mr. Michael Yao,Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 58.com. "We continued to see improvement in user growth and engagement on our mobile apps. Our two early-stage businesses,Zhuan Zhuan and 58 Town,continue to enjoy rapid user growth. Excluding Zhuan Zhuan and 58 Town,our core businesses maintained revenue,profit and profit margin growth momentum on a year-over-year basis. Despite an uncertain macro-economic environment,the China market remains massive and we continue to see enormous opportunities in lower-tier cities and towns where product innovation and technological advances are driving offline-to-online user conversion and substantially improving the services we can offer."
Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues were RMB3,626.8 million (US$527.2 million),representing an increase of 33.2% fromRMB2,722.5 millionin the same quarter of 2017.
Membership revenues were RMB1,181.1 million (US$171.7 million),an increase of 18.8% from RMB994.1 million in the same quarter of 2017. The increase in membership revenues was primarily driven by an increase in the number of subscription-based paying membership accounts. The total number of subscription-based paying membership accounts on the Company's platforms,which include 58.com,Ganji.com and Anjuke.com,was approximately 2,968,000 during the third quarter of 2018,a 13.7% increase from approximately 2,611,000 in the same quarter of 2017. The Company defines subscription-based paying membership accounts as registered accounts through which users have purchased the Company's subscription-based membership services and whose membership subscriptions are active at any point during a given period. Some paying merchant members purchase membership services from more than one Company platform which contributes separately to the revenues of each platform.
Online marketing services revenues were RMB2,328.9 million (US$338.5 million),an increase of 40.3% from RMB1,660.5 million in the same quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily driven by the increasing adoption and effectiveness of the Company's various online marketing services such as real-time bidding,priority listing and various other online marketing services.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was RMB380.6 million (US$55.3 million),an increase of 67.1% from RMB227.8 million in the same quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by increases in the costs of used goods and services sold on the Zhuan Zhuan platform,traffic acquisition costs ("TAC") paid to 58.com's advertising union partners,and salaries and benefits primarily for information quality control teams.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit was RMB3,246.2 million (US$471.9 million),an increase of 30.1% from RMB2,494.8 million during the same quarter of 2017.

Within sales and marketing expenses,advertising expenses in the third quarter of 2018 were RMB978.2 million (US$142.2 million),an increase of 80.7% from RMB541.2 million in the third quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to promotional campaigns launched during the quarter for the Company's apps. Advertising expenses associated with the Company's core businesses including 58.com and Anjuke accounted for the majority of the increase,while advertising expenses for Zhuan Zhuan grew at a faster rate from a smaller base in 2017.
Non-advertising sales and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2018 were RMB941.9 million (US$136.9 million),an increase of 17.0% from RMB805.0 million in the same quarter in 2017. Non-advertising sales and marketing expenses include salaries,benefits,commissions and share-based compensation for the Company's sales,sales support,customer service,and marketing dealer management personnel,online and offline promotional expenses,and other operating expenses that are associated with sales and marketing activities.
The Company's sales and marketing headcount as of September 30,2018 was approximately 16,000,a 2.0% decrease from September 30,2017. The increase in non-advertising sales and marketing expenses was mainly related to marketing and promotional expenses for the Company's core businesses as well as the expansion of Zhuan Zhuan and 58 Town.
Research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2018 were RMB468.8 million (US$68.1 million),an increase of 25.7% from RMB372.9 million in the same quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits and share-based compensation expenses for the Company's research and development personnel for the development of new features and services.
General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2018 were RMB186.7 million (US$27.1 million),a decrease of 26.3% from RMB253.3 million in the same quarter of 2017. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to the decreases in professional expenses,depreciation and amortization expenses and other administrative expenses,which were partially offset by the increase in salaries,benefits and share-based compensation expenses related to administrative personnel.
Income from Operations

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States,or GAAP,this press release presents non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations,non-GAAP operating margin,non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to 58.com Inc.,non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share and per ADS by excluding share-based compensation expenses,amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions,change in fair value of long-term investments,share-based compensation expenses included in share of results of equity investees,income tax effects of above GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand the Company's operating and financial performance,compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess the Company's core operating results,as they exclude certain expenses that are not expected to result in cash payments. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Share-based compensation expenses,non-cash gain or loss and income tax effects resulting from GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items have been and will continue to be incurred in the future and are not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures,but should be considered in the overall evaluation of the Company's results. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of its share-based compensation expenses,income tax effects of above GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items,all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP,but should not be considered a substitute for,or superior to,financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.

the readers. Unless otherwise specified,all translations of Renminbi (RMB) amounts into US$ amounts in this press release
