Looking forward, we will continue to focus on developing our future consumer-centric automotive platform which is composed of four distinct categories: auto-media, auto-ecommerce, auto-finance, and auto-lifestyle. This will transform Autohome from a content-driven vertical media platform into a comprehensive automotive ecosystem which leverages our advanced technology and data analytics. We believe the combination of a well-established ecosystem based on precise data analytics, broad user base and strong brand equity will position us as the clear market leader in all aspects of China’s online automotive market. We are very excited about the opportunities we see ahead in 2017 as we look to further expand our business, drive synergistic value with our partners, and push to the forefront of innovation in the digital automotive category.”
Mr. Julian Wang, Chief Financial Officer, added, “While we experienced some management changes and operational difficulties for the online transaction business during 2016, our core media and leads generation businesses remains strong across all key metrics, including user numbers, brand recognition, user engagement, and automaker/dealer partnerships. Our new strategic focus will concentrate on seizing the enormous market opportunities we see and utilize our leading technology to further benefit both our audience and clients. This will also better position Autohome to generate high revenue growth and healthy profitability. We are encouraged by the results we have seen so far and are confident of our ability to re-accelerate the expansion of our business, maintain cost-effective management, invest prudently for sustainable and profitable long-term growth, and generate increased value for our shareholders.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement net income presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome Inc., Non-GAAP basic and diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome Inc. as net income attributable to Autohome Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization expenses of intangible assets related to acquisitions. We define Non-GAAP basic and diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome Inc. divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Autohome Inc. before income tax expense, depreciation expenses of property and equipment and amortization expenses of intangible assets and interest expense, excluding share-based compensation expenses. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, in addition to net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand our operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess our 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 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 our results. 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. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.
