爱点击提示新冠肺炎疫情的影响、发布2020年全年业绩展望

香港2020年3月17日 /美通社/ -- 中国独立在线营销与企业数字化运营解决方案提供商爱点击互动亚洲集团有限公司（纳斯达克代码: ICLK，以下简称“爱点击”或“公司”）今天发布新冠肺炎疫情对公司运营影响的最新情况和2020全年业绩展望，以及预告截至2019年12月31日的2019年第四季度和全年初步未经审计的财务业绩。

新冠肺炎疫情的影响

爱点击密切关注新冠肺炎疫情的进展。公司以保护员工、客户和全球合作伙伴的健康与安全为首要工作，同时努力支持他们的各项需求。

当前，虽然我们看到某些垂直行业，例如旅游业和酒店业受到新冠肺炎疫情的不利影响，但我们也观察到包括电商和线上游戏在内的其他一些行业在疫情之下表现出弹性，主要是消费者因疫情影响，将更多购物行为转到线上。根据当前的商业环境，我们预计品牌会将更多的广告预算分配给线上与移动装置精准营销，从而有可能使我们专注于移动装置和基于效果的在线营销解决方案业务受益。另外，品牌也可能还会看到线上和线下消费者行为数据整合和分析的重要性，从长期来看，可望有利于我们的企业数字化运营解决方案业务。

爱点击多元化的客户涵盖众多表现稳定且极具知名度的品牌，同时中国政府在疫情防控方面做出了卓越的努力，因为这些原因，我们对今年下半年保持谨慎乐观的态度。尽管如此，新冠肺炎疫情在全球的传播可能会持续影响市场状况，并有可能触发更长时期的全球经济放缓。有可能会影响我们品牌客户的整体广告预算，进而可能在短期内影响我们的在线营销解决方案业务。因此，市场环境的快速发展和变化导致我们无法预测新冠肺炎疫情最终产生的不利影响。爱点击管理层将继续密切关注此次疫情对我们今年的业务运营和财务业绩的影响，并将特别关注客户关系经营与留存和管理应收账款。

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating the Company’s operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, (iii) interest income, (iv) income tax expense/ (benefit), (v) share-based compensation, (vi) fair value losses/ (gain) on convertible notes, (vii) other losses/ (gains), net, (viii) convertible notes and warrants issuance cost, (ix) net loss/ (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests, (x) share of losses/ (income) from an equity investee, (xi) cost related to new business setup or acquisitions, (xii) cost related to filing of Form F-3, and (xiii) non-cash provision, if any. We will disclose more details on the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures when we release the actual results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the expenses and gains that the Company includes in net income (loss). The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the Company’s operating results, enhances the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
