SINA Corporation announced preliminary selected unaudited financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. The preliminary results are subject to change as the Company is still in the process of finalizing the financial results for the quarter.

- Net loss attributable to SINA** to be approximately $33 million, or $0.52 diluted net loss per share attributable to SINA.

- Total net revenues include approximately $4.1 million related to the deferred revenues from the license agreements resulting from the E-House/CRIC transaction.
** Net loss attributable to SINA is expected to include a non-cash loss of approximately $40.2 million related to the change in fair value of investor option liability, which was mainly due to Weibo Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company, going public in April 2014. This item is not reflected in the Company’s non-GAAP net income.
The Company’s non-GAAP income excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, net of tax, convertible debt issuance cost, recognition of deferred revenue in relation to certain equity investment, gain/loss resulting from the disposal, purchase or impairment of a business, investment or non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and change in fair value of investor option liability.
