• Generated a total of $22.0 million in operating cash flow for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014.

Operating Metrics as of September 30, 2014
The Company is herein presenting, for the first time, 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 not be compared to previously reported operating metrics 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 by advertising services. The MAU statistics do not include the users addressed by the installation of the Company’s advertising SDK into third-party applications or users addressed by the integration of the Company’s audio and image-based search technologies 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 September 30, 2014: 159.0 million
“We are pleased to report our earnings results for the first three quarters of 2014, and we are excited about the new leadership we have in place and what the future holds for NQ Mobile,” said Omar Khan, Co-Chief Executive Officer of NQ Mobile. “The last year has had its share of challenges, but as we continue to successfully implement our strategy and transition to a traffic-based advertising model, we are extremely confident about our direction, our revenue growth, and what this means for our consumers and shareholders.”
“NQ Mobile is heading into the new year in an extraordinarily strong position. We are putting last year’s challenges behind us, we are generating strong cash flow from our operations, and we have an extremely talented and committed team,” said Dr. Vincent Wenyong Shi, Chairman, Chief Operating Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer of NQ Mobile. “With our strategy in place, and the continued acceleration of the growth of our search and platform related revenues, we believe we can achieve great financial performance in 2015.”

Quarterly Results Presentation
There will be a separate section for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014 presented below. Within each section, there is added commentary and descriptions outlining various extraordinary items, business mix impacts, as well as other factors associated with business trends. Similar to the changes in the presentation of operating metrics to better align with NQ Mobile’s current business, the Company is also presenting net revenues in segments that match NQ Mobile’s business now and going forward. Specifically, the Company plans to present net revenues in the following segments: Mobile Value Added Services, which include mobile security and productivity, mobile games, social entertainment and search related revenues when that business becomes more significant in the future; Advertising Services, which include all of the Company’s advertising, third party app referral, promotion and advertisement network revenues; Enterprise Mobility, which encompasses all of the Company’s enterprise revenues, and Other Services, which includes revenues generated by providing technical contract services to third parties.
The specific commentary for each quarter reported herein is provided below in the section for each respective quarter, presented below, but in an effort to help consolidate and clearly describe some of the key business trends and items that impacted the profitability in the Company’s business thus far in 2014, below please find a summary of the three major items impacting NQ Mobile’s profitability:
1. Enterprise Mix: The biggest impact to profitability over this reporting period ended September 30, 2014 is the change in business mix and expansion of the enterprise mobility segment. The Company generated total net revenues of $104.7 million in its enterprise mobility segment for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014 compared to $29.5 million over the same period in 2013. The majority of the increase in enterprise mobility revenues came from product sales. The total cost of sales associated with product sales increased to $94.0 million for the first three quarters ended September 2014 compared to $19.6 million for the same period in 2013. This increase accounted for approximately 63.4% of the total increase in the Company’s total cost of revenues for the period compared to last year.
2. Cost of Revenues Increase excluding the Enterprise Mix: Excluding the impact from the increased enterprise mobility revenue mix, the remaining increase in cost of revenues was driven primarily by two factors. The biggest factor is related to the advertising services segment. Specifically, the costs in the advertising services segment include the payments the Company makes to developers and other partners for their advertising space (inventory) for which NQ Mobile delivers advertising. These advertising inventory costs increased compared to the same period in 2013. This increase accounted for approximately 18.9% of the total increase in the Company’s total cost of revenues, or approximately $22.2 million for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The second factor is related to the Company’s subsidiary FL Mobile and specifically, mobile game revenues. The revenue sharing costs associated with app stores and other business partners have increased year over year as mobile game revenues increased. This increase accounted for approximately 10.6% of the total increase in the total cost of revenues for the three quarters ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year.
3. Operating Costs: There were three main factors within operating costs that impacted profitability in the reported periods. The first is the extraordinary and one-time items related to the expenses incurred for the handling of short seller allegations and all of the associated independent investigation work, professional fees and extra auditor fees, among others. These total extraordinary costs incurred over the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $6.8 million. We do not see these costs factoring into operating expenses going forward. The second factor was the increase in share-based compensation expense. Total share-based compensation expense increased to $64.5 million for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014, up from $40.5 million during the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily from share-based compensation expense associated with the Company’s investments and acquisitions. The final factor that led to an increase in operating expenses in the three quarters ended September 30, 2014 over the same period from last year came from the operating expenses, including higher staff costs, from the Company’s emerging products and new businesses that the Company has not yet started to materially monetize. Some of these businesses include NQ Live (or vLife), Music Radar (Yinlong), Ruifeng (the Company’s mobile healthcare services), among others.

First Quarter 2014 Results
Revenues
Net revenues in the first quarter of 2014 increased 140.1% year-over-year to $79.8 million from $33.2 million in the same period in 2013.
Mobile value added service revenues increased 20.2% year-over-year to $27.4 million from $22.7 million in the same period in 2013. The increase in mobile value added service revenues was primarily due to the increase of mobile game revenues, offset by the decrease in consumer mobile security revenues. The increase in mobile game revenues was primarily due to the rapid growth of FL Mobile’s game platform and the launch of new games in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in consumer mobile security revenues was primarily due to the Company’s moving its focus away from premium security subscription-based revenues and focusing more on mobile applications and services that can be monetized via advertising.
Advertising revenues increased 407.0% year-over-year to $16.8 million from $3.3 million in the same period in 2013. Such robust growth was due to increased monetization through advertising and successful third party application referrals resulting mainly from the acquisitions of WAPS and Fanyue, the Company’s online and offline advertising networks.
Enterprise mobility revenues increased 463.4% year-over-year to $34.4 million from $6.1 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.
Other revenues increased 12.8% year-over-year to $1.2 million from $1.1 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 first quarter of 2014 increased 381.5% year-over-year to $50.4 million from $10.5 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 $31.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $3.8 million in the same period last year. Advertising inventory costs, or the cost that the Company pays developers and other partners for advertising space (inventory) increased to $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $0.5 million in the same period last year. The cost of additional revenue share for the Company’s mobile game business increased to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $0.05 million in the same period last year.

Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, was 36.9% in the first quarter of 2014, compared with 68.5% in the same period in 2013. Excluding the impact from the enterprise mobility business, gross margin was 60.8% in the first quarter of 2014, down from 76.3% in the first quarter of 2013.

Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, increased 68.5% year-over-year to $7.0 million, up from $4.2 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher marketing and advertising costs and increased staff costs associated with a growing headcount.
Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, which exclude the expenses incurred for the handling of short seller allegations and share-based compensation, increased 88.9% year-over-year to $11.0 million, up from $5.8 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher legal and professional fees related to acquisitions, and higher bad debt expenses.
Non-GAAP research and development expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, increased 66.5% to $4.9 million up from $2.9 million, in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher staff costs associated with headcount growth.
Share-based compensation expenses

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 of the 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 of 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.

NQ Mobile Inc. reports financial results for the First, Second and Third Quarter of 2014
BEIJING and DALLAS, December 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - NQ Mobile Inc. (“NQ Mobile” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NQ), a leading global provider of mobile internet services, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first, second and third quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Highlights For Period From January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014
• Recorded Net Revenues of $242.6 million for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014.
• Generated a total of $22.0 million in operating cash flow for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014.
• The Company has maintained a strong balance sheet position despite numerous extraordinary items, total cash, cash equivalents and term deposits as of September 30, 2014 was $278.3 million.
• Non-GAAP net income attributable to NQ Mobile for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014 was $23.0 million.
• Net Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 expected to be between $82 and $83 million.
• Full year 2014 Net Revenues expected to range from $325 million to $326 million, up from the previously stated guidance range of $320 to $325 million.
Operating Metrics as of September 30, 2014
The Company is herein presenting, for the first time, 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 not be compared to previously reported operating metrics 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 by advertising services. The MAU statistics do not include the users addressed by the installation of the Company’s advertising SDK into third-party applications or users addressed by the integration of the Company’s audio and image-based search technologies 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 September 30, 2014: 159.0 million
“We are pleased to report our earnings results for the first three quarters of 2014, and we are excited about the new leadership we have in place and what the future holds for NQ Mobile,” said Omar Khan, Co-Chief Executive Officer of NQ Mobile. “The last year has had its share of challenges, but as we continue to successfully implement our strategy and transition to a traffic-based advertising model, we are extremely confident about our direction, our revenue growth, and what this means for our consumers and shareholders.”
“NQ Mobile is heading into the new year in an extraordinarily strong position. We are putting last year’s challenges behind us, we are generating strong cash flow from our operations, and we have an extremely talented and committed team,” said Dr. Vincent Wenyong Shi, Chairman, Chief Operating Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer of NQ Mobile. “With our strategy in place, and the continued acceleration of the growth of our search and platform related revenues, we believe we can achieve great financial performance in 2015.”

Quarterly Results Presentation
There will be a separate section for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014 presented below. Within each section, there is added commentary and descriptions outlining various extraordinary items, business mix impacts, as well as other factors associated with business trends. Similar to the changes in the presentation of operating metrics to better align with NQ Mobile’s current business, the Company is also presenting net revenues in segments that match NQ Mobile’s business now and going forward. Specifically, the Company plans to present net revenues in the following segments: Mobile Value Added Services, which include mobile security and productivity, mobile games, social entertainment and search related revenues when that business becomes more significant in the future; Advertising Services, which include all of the Company’s advertising, third party app referral, promotion and advertisement network revenues; Enterprise Mobility, which encompasses all of the Company’s enterprise revenues, and Other Services, which includes revenues generated by providing technical contract services to third parties.
The specific commentary for each quarter reported herein is provided below in the section for each respective quarter, presented below, but in an effort to help consolidate and clearly describe some of the key business trends and items that impacted the profitability in the Company’s business thus far in 2014, below please find a summary of the three major items impacting NQ Mobile’s profitability:
1. Enterprise Mix: The biggest impact to profitability over this reporting period ended September 30, 2014 is the change in business mix and expansion of the enterprise mobility segment. The Company generated total net revenues of $104.7 million in its enterprise mobility segment for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014 compared to $29.5 million over the same period in 2013. The majority of the increase in enterprise mobility revenues came from product sales. The total cost of sales associated with product sales increased to $94.0 million for the first three quarters ended September 2014 compared to $19.6 million for the same period in 2013. This increase accounted for approximately 63.4% of the total increase in the Company’s total cost of revenues for the period compared to last year.
2. Cost of Revenues Increase excluding the Enterprise Mix: Excluding the impact from the increased enterprise mobility revenue mix, the remaining increase in cost of revenues was driven primarily by two factors. The biggest factor is related to the advertising services segment. Specifically, the costs in the advertising services segment include the payments the Company makes to developers and other partners for their advertising space (inventory) for which NQ Mobile delivers advertising. These advertising inventory costs increased compared to the same period in 2013. This increase accounted for approximately 18.9% of the total increase in the Company’s total cost of revenues, or approximately $22.2 million for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The second factor is related to the Company’s subsidiary FL Mobile and specifically, mobile game revenues. The revenue sharing costs associated with app stores and other business partners have increased year over year as mobile game revenues increased. This increase accounted for approximately 10.6% of the total increase in the total cost of revenues for the three quarters ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year.
3. Operating Costs: There were three main factors within operating costs that impacted profitability in the reported periods. The first is the extraordinary and one-time items related to the expenses incurred for the handling of short seller allegations and all of the associated independent investigation work, professional fees and extra auditor fees, among others. These total extraordinary costs incurred over the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $6.8 million. We do not see these costs factoring into operating expenses going forward. The second factor was the increase in share-based compensation expense. Total share-based compensation expense increased to $64.5 million for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2014, up from $40.5 million during the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily from share-based compensation expense associated with the Company’s investments and acquisitions. The final factor that led to an increase in operating expenses in the three quarters ended September 30, 2014 over the same period from last year came from the operating expenses, including higher staff costs, from the Company’s emerging products and new businesses that the Company has not yet started to materially monetize. Some of these businesses include NQ Live (or vLife), Music Radar (Yinlong), Ruifeng (the Company’s mobile healthcare services), among others.

First Quarter 2014 Results
Revenues
Net revenues in the first quarter of 2014 increased 140.1% year-over-year to $79.8 million from $33.2 million in the same period in 2013.
Mobile value added service revenues increased 20.2% year-over-year to $27.4 million from $22.7 million in the same period in 2013. The increase in mobile value added service revenues was primarily due to the increase of mobile game revenues, offset by the decrease in consumer mobile security revenues. The increase in mobile game revenues was primarily due to the rapid growth of FL Mobile’s game platform and the launch of new games in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in consumer mobile security revenues was primarily due to the Company’s moving its focus away from premium security subscription-based revenues and focusing more on mobile applications and services that can be monetized via advertising.
Advertising revenues increased 407.0% year-over-year to $16.8 million from $3.3 million in the same period in 2013. Such robust growth was due to increased monetization through advertising and successful third party application referrals resulting mainly from the acquisitions of WAPS and Fanyue, the Company’s online and offline advertising networks.
Enterprise mobility revenues increased 463.4% year-over-year to $34.4 million from $6.1 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.
Other revenues increased 12.8% year-over-year to $1.2 million from $1.1 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 first quarter of 2014 increased 381.5% year-over-year to $50.4 million from $10.5 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 $31.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $3.8 million in the same period last year. Advertising inventory costs, or the cost that the Company pays developers and other partners for advertising space (inventory) increased to $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $0.5 million in the same period last year. The cost of additional revenue share for the Company’s mobile game business increased to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $0.05 million in the same period last year.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit in the first quarter of 2014 increased 29.2% to $29.4 million from $22.8 million in the same period in 2013. Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, was 36.9% in the first quarter of 2014, compared with 68.5% in the same period in 2013. Excluding the impact from the enterprise mobility business, gross margin was 60.8% in the first quarter of 2014, down from 76.3% in the first quarter of 2013. The primary reasons for the decline in gross profit and gross margin is detailed in the cost of revenues section above.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2014 increased 141.6% year-over-year to $49.4 million from $20.4 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which exclude the expenses incurred for the handling of short seller allegations, share-based compensation, and the interest expense of convertible debts, increased 77.3% year-over year to $22.9 million up from $12.9 million in the same period in 2013.
Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, increased 68.5% year-over-year to $7.0 million, up from $4.2 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher marketing and advertising costs and increased staff costs associated with a growing headcount.
Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, which exclude the expenses incurred for the handling of short seller allegations and share-based compensation, increased 88.9% year-over-year to $11.0 million, up from $5.8 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher legal and professional fees related to acquisitions, and higher bad debt expenses.
Non-GAAP research and development expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, increased 66.5% to $4.9 million up from $2.9 million, in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher staff costs associated with headcount growth.
Share-based compensation expenses
Share-based compensation expenses, which were allocated to related operating costs and expense line items, amounted to $23.4 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $7.6 million in the corresponding period in 2013. The increase in share-based compensation expenses was mainly due to share options related to the performance conditions granted in relation to the Company’s acquisitions.
Income/Loss from Operations and Operating Margin
Loss from operations in the first quarter of 2014 was $20.0 million, compared with operating profit of $2.3 million in the same quarter last year.

Non-GAAP operating margin, or non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenues, was 8.2% in the first quarter of 2014, compared with 29.9% in the same quarter a year ago. Excluding the impact from the enterprise mobility business, non-GAAP operating margin was 15.7% in the first quarter of 2014 compared with 33.4% in the same period in 2013.
4
Foreign Exchange Gain / (Loss), Interest Income and Other Income
Foreign exchange loss was $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared with a gain of $0.1 million in the same quarter a year ago.

Interest expenses were primarily derived from interest expense of convertible debts, offset by the interest income from certain term deposits.

The increase in mobile game revenues was primarily due to the rapid growth of FL Mobile’s game platform and the launch of new games in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in consumer mobile security revenues was primarily due to the Company’s moving its focus away from premium security subscription-based revenues and focusing more on mobile applications and services that can be monetized via advertising.
Advertising revenues increased 176.1% year-over-year to $15.3 million up from $5.5 million in the same period in 2013.

Enterprise mobility revenues increased 342.4% year-over-year to $35.6 million up from $8.1 million in the same period in 2013.

Mobile value added service revenues decreased 6.7% year-over-year to $25.1 million down from $27.0 million in the same period in 2013. The slight decrease in mobile value added services revenues was primarily due to the decrease in consumer mobile security revenues, offset by the increase of mobile game revenues.

The increase in mobile game revenues was primarily due to the rapid growth of FL Mobile’s game platform and the launch of new games in the third quarter of 2014.
7
Advertising revenues increased 84.5% year-over-year to $20.4 million up from $11.0 million for the same period in 2013. Such robust growth was due to increased monetization through advertising and successful third party application referrals resulting mainly from the acquisitions of WAPS and Fanyue, the Company’s online and offline advertising networks.
Enterprise mobility revenues increased 125.7% year-over-year to $34.6 million up from $15.3 million in the same period in 2013.

Other revenues in the third quarter of 2014 increased 17.8% year-over-year to $1.1 million up from $0.9 million in the same period in 2013. Other revenues are generated primarily by providing technical contract services to third parties thus the revenues fluctuate as such business is driven by individual projects.

Cost of revenues in the third quarter of 2014 increased 167.5% year-over-year to $58.7 million up from $21.9 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the higher cost of products for the enterprise mobility business, which totaled $29.8 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2013. Advertising inventory costs, or the cost that the Company pays developers and other partners for the advertising space (inventory) increased to $12.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $4.0million in the third quarter of 2013. The cost of additional revenue share for the mobile game business increased to $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit in the third quarter of 2014 decreased 30.2% year-over-year to $22.5 million down from $32.3 million in the same period in 2013. Gross margin was 27.8% in the third quarter of 2014, compared with 59.5% in the same quarter a year ago. Excluding the impact from the enterprise mobility business, gross margin was 41.0% in the third quarter of 2014 compared with 73.3% in the same period last year. The primary reasons for the decline in gross profit and gross margin is detailed in the cost of revenue section above.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2014 increased 16.9% year-over-year to $40.9 million, up from $35.0 million in the same period in 2013. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which exclude the expenses incurred for the handling of short seller allegations, share-based compensation, and the interest expense of convertible debts, increased 48.1% year-over-year to $22.7 million up from $15.3 million in the same period in 2013.
Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, increased 20.1% year-over-year to $7.3 million up from $6.1 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher staff costs and office related expenses.
8
Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, which exclude the expenses incurred for the handling of short seller allegations and share-based compensation, increased 68.6% year-over-year to $9.5 million up from $5.6 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the increase in legal and professional fees related to acquisitions, depreciation and amortization and staff costs.
Non-GAAP research and development expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, increased 63.2% to $5.9 million up from $3.6 million in the same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher staff costs and joint R&D costs.
Share-based compensation expenses
Share-based compensation expenses, which were allocated to related operating costs and expense line items, were $15.7 million in the third quarter of 2014, comparing to $19.7 million in the corresponding period in 2013. The increase in share-based compensation expenses was mainly due to share options related to the performance conditions granted in relation to the Company’s acquisitions.
Income/Loss from Operations and Operating Margin
Loss from operation for the third quarter of 2014 was $18.3 million, compared with the operating loss of $2.7 million in the same period in 2013.

Foreign Exchange Gain / (Loss), Interest Income and Other Income
Foreign exchange loss was $0.03 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with a gain of $0.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. Foreign exchange loss was primarily attributable to the depreciation of RMB against the US Dollar. Interest expenses were $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with interest income of $0.9 million in the same quarter a year ago. Interest expenses were primarily derived from the convertible bonds, partially offset by interest income from certain term deposits.

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 of the 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 of 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.
