"Our fourth quarter and full year results reflect strong organic revenue growth," said Ms. Jiangping Jiang, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer.

Our revenue growth reflects the continued development of the domestic tourism market in China and the strength of our operating platform. Universal Travel has a strong product portfolio, broad geographic coverage and a brand awareness that enable us to continue to expand our network of customers and remain at the forefront of the growing China travel market."
Fourth Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2009, was $34.2 million compared to $29.4 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of approximately 16.1%. Revenue generated by the air cargo agency segment for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $5.1 million. Excluding this segment, revenue generated from the current three segments was $24.4 million, a year- over-year increase of 40.3%. This increase in revenue was primarily due to the successful integration and cross selling among the Company's three business segments, which increased the Company's competitive position in the marketplace.
Revenue from air-ticketing was $6.6 million, compared to $5.1 million for the same period last year, an increase of 29.6%. This increase was mainly due to the increased demand for air passenger transportation.
Revenue generated by the Company's hotel reservation segment was $4.0 million compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of 5.5%. This increase was due to the successful integration of the various business segments of the Company.
Revenue generated by package tours was $23.6 million compared to $18.2 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of 30.0%. This increase was primarily due to the increase in tourism demand and successful integration of the Company's various business segments and marketing channels.
Gross profit was $10.1 million compared to $9.9 million for three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of 1.3%. Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 29.5% compared to 33.8% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily because the packaged tour business, which has a lower profit margin due to the way revenues are recognized, constituted a higher percentage of the Company's total revenues than during the prior year period.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses totaled $2.5 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period last year, an increase of 45.1%. The SG&A expenses were 7.4% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to 5.9% for the same period last year. The increase in percentage was primarily due to higher amortization expenses related to the Company's employee stock incentive plan, higher marketing and rent expenses to support the increased sales volume, and additional professional fees.
Income from operations was $7.5 million compared to $8.2 million in the same period last year. The Company incurred non-cash charges related to stock- based compensation of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $0.1 million in the prior year period. Excluding these non-cash charges, the Company's adjusted income from operations was $7.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $8.2 million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating margin was 23.1%(*).
Net income from continuing operations was $5.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $6.3 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Excluding the effect of non-cash charges related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $0.3 million and stock-based compensation of $0.4 million, the Company's adjusted net income from continuing operations was $5.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $6.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2008(*).
Full Year 2009 Financial Results
Revenue for full year 2009 was $97.9 million compared to $65.8 million in 2008, an increase of 48.7%. Revenue from air-ticketing was $17.5 million compared to $12.3 million last year, an increase of 42.0%. Revenue generated by the hotel reservation segment was $13.0 million compared to $8.3 million last year, an increase of 56.4%. Revenue generated by package tours was $67.3 million compared to $45.1 million last year, an increase of 49.1%.
Gross profit was $32.4 million compared to $22.5 million for full year 2008, an increase of 43.8%. Gross profit margin for the full year of 2009 was 33.1% compared to 34.2% last year.
SG&A expenses totaled $8.2 million compared to $4.6 million last year, an increase of 78.7%. SG&A expenses were 8.4% of revenue compared to 7.0% last year.
Income from operations increased 34.9% to $24.2 million from $17.9 million in the full year 2008. The Company incurred non-cash charges related to stock- based compensation in the full year 2009 of $1.2 million compared to $0.2 million last year.
Excluding these non-cash charge, the Company's adjusted income from operations would be $25.3 million for the full year 2009, an increase of 39.7% from last year. Adjusted operating margin was 25.8%(*).
Net income from continuing operations was $11.3 million compared to $13.8 million last year. The Company incurred non-cash charges related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $6.8 million and stock-based compensation of $1.2 million in the full year 2009. Excluding these non-cash charges, adjusted net income from continuing operations would be $19.3 million, or $1.26 per fully diluted share, an increase of 38.1% from $14.0 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, in the full year 2008(*).

Universal Travel Group expects to continue to capitalize on the fast growing China travel market through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. The Company's business in the Pearl River Delta region continues to grow and its expansion into the Chongqing Delta region is on track. In addition, the Company has made significant progress identifying acquisition targets that it believes will help Universal Travel achieve its goal of further expanding its geographic footprint into additional regions of China. Following its $20 million financing in December of last year, the Company announced its intention to acquire travel businesses in Anhui Province, Hebei Province, and Henan Province. Universal Travel plans to integrate and further expand these businesses in 2010.
Universal Travel Group is also planning a nationwide rollout of the TRIPEASY Travel Service Kiosks (the "Kiosks") within the next two years. In 2010, the Company plans to roll out an additional 1,400 Kiosks in certain selected cities in China. (By the end of 2009, Universal Travel Group had 623 Kiosks in place to serve its customers.) The Kiosks will enable customers to make travel related inquiries and book their travel without a computer or an internet connection. The Company will promote the Kiosks via local media such as newspapers, billboards and internet ads, including its own award-winning website, http://www.cnutg.com/ , as well as other related websites, which in turn will further the Company's brand recognition. The Company expects the Kiosks themselves to provide a strong media platform to strengthen Universal Travel Group's franchise.
Ms. Jiang commented, "We our optimistic about our business prospects. The travel market in China continues to show robust growth. We expect to see increasing sales and strong financial performance in 2010 as we integrate our recently announced acquisitions and as our comprehensive marketing initiatives continue to demonstrate positive results. In addition, the TRIPEASY Kiosks, which have shown promising results to date, will serve, together with our website and call center, to further integrate our air ticket sales, hotel room sales, and packaged tours businesses."
For the full year 2010, Universal Travel Group expects to achieve an organic growth rate of approximately 20% for revenues and net income.
