— Meeting guidance with net revenue (non-GAAP)¹ of US$124.4 million

— Meeting guidance with net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP)² per basic share of US$0.26

BEIJING/SANTA CLARA, Calif. – July 30, 2012 – AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASIA) (“AsiaInfo-Linkage,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), a leading provider of telecommunication software solutions and services in China, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

“Our business continued to grow in the second quarter, despite challenging market conditions, as we strengthened our competitive positioning, and saw healthy demand from China’s three telecommunications carriers,” said AsiaInfo-Linkage President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Zhang. “In the second quarter of 2012, we signed seven additional NG-BOSS 3.5 upgrade contracts with China Mobile, and began work on NG-BOSS 4.0 functional specifications, which we expect will result in additional upgrade and implementation work starting in the second half of this year. We are also in a good position to win additional work related to China Mobile’s OSS functional needs.”

“We have completed convergent software implementation for four of the six northern provinces in our long-term project with China Unicom and plan to complete implementation for the remaining two provinces in the third quarter of 2012. For China Telecom, we recently won a contract to develop and implement an intelligent cloud management project for Jiangsu Telecom. Additionally, in the cable television market, we have successfully provided BOSS software system implementation to Gehua Cable and have migrated over five million users to this new system and plan to leverage this achievement to gain greater market share.”

Mr. Zhang added, “We continue to believe that our future work with China’s three carriers will hinge on our strengths in assisting them to gather insights regarding their users and monetize their vast data traffic. In the second quarter of 2012, we won data traffic monetization contracts with three provincial subsidiaries of China Mobile and expect to win additional projects. We anticipate data traffic monetization will drive carrier spending as we couple this work with our core IT solutions and services.”

Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were US$126.3 million, an increase of 8.7% year-over-year and an increase of 2.1% sequentially. Net revenue (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2012 was US$124.4 million, an increase of 12.8% year-over-year and an increase of 2.7% sequentially. The year-over-year increase was primarily the result of continued investment in IT software from China’s telecom carriers and the sequential increase was mainly due to the on-time delivery of China Mobile’s previously signed projects and the phase-one delivery of an international project.

Gross margin for the quarter was 38.5%, compared to 42.2% in the year-ago period and 39.2% in the previous quarter. Gross margin of net revenue (non-GAAP)³ was 43.8% in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 49.5% in the year-ago period and 44.8% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to an increase in employee compensation, which was mainly due to increased headcount of implementation engineers and increased share-based compensation expenses. The slight sequential decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in implementation incurred in the second quarter after the end of the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday in the first quarter.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2012 increased 35.0% year-over-year and 1.6% sequentially to US$46.7 million. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the Company’s research and development (“R&D”) expenses to develop products for current and anticipated contract opportunities, to support product standardization, and to achieve delivery improvement initiatives. The sequential increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased R&D expenses, offset by a decrease in sales and marketing expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2012 decreased by 4.0% year-over-year and 9.4% sequentially to US$18.4 million. The year-over-year decrease in sales and marketing expenses was driven by the fact that certain intangible assets related to the Linkage acquisition as of June 30, 2011 have been fully amortized in prior year, which resulted in a decrease in sales and marketing of US$2.5 million. The sequential decrease was mainly due to a decrease in sales and marketing activities in the period. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2012 increased 39.1% year-over-year and increased 4.7% sequentially to US$7.8 million. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to an additional accrual of allowance for doubtful accounts of US$0.6 million, and an increase in wage inflation and headcount by 36 administrative professionals for the second quarter of 2012 which resulted in the increase in overall compensation. The sequential increase in G&A expenses was mainly the result of an additional accrual of allowance for doubtful accounts of US$0.3 million. R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2012 increased 72.0% year-over-year and increased 12.7% sequentially to US$20.4 million. The year-over-year increase in R&D expenses reflected an increase in compensation, which was a result of wage inflation and the addition of 321 R&D engineers between the second quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012. The sequential increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to an increase in overtime and travel related expenses of US$0.7 million, which saw an increase in R&D activity incurred in the second quarter after the end of the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday in the first quarter.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2012 was US$2.0 million, a decrease of 86.4% year-over-year and 21.3% sequentially. Operating margin of total revenue was 1.6% for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 12.5% in the year-ago period and 2.0% in the previous quarter. Operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP)⁴ for the second quarter of 2012 was 12.0%, compared to 26.6% in the year-ago period and 12.8% in the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease in operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) was mainly attributable to the increases in employee headcount and wage inflation, which led to the increase in cost of sales and R&D expenses. The sequential decrease was primarily due to an increase in G&A and R&D expenses.

Other income for the second quarter of 2012 was US$4.0 million compared to US$1.2 million in the year-ago period and US$4.3 million in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to improved returns from bank deposits and a US$1.2 million gain from sales of short-term investment in the second quarter of 2012.

In the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. of US$6.2 million, or US$0.09 per basic share, compared to US$32.9 million, or US$0.45 per basic share, in the year-ago period and US$6.4 million, or US$0.09 per basic share, in the previous quarter. As a result of the qualification as a High and New Technology Enterprise (“HNTE”) of the Company’s Nanjing subsidiary, Linkage-AsiaInfo Technologies (Nanjing), Inc. (“LKNJ”) and our current expectation of renewing this status going forward, the tax rate applicable to LKNJ was reduced from the previous rate of 25.0% to a 15.0% preferential tax rate in the second quarter of 2011. This effect resulted in a US$20.6 million reduction in the deferred tax liability related to LKNJ’s intangible assets amortization and a US$2.3 million reduction in the deferred tax asset related to welfare accrual, both of which were previously calculated at a tax rate of 25.0%. The total effect of the tax benefits in the second of 2011 was US$18.3 million or US$0.25 per basic share. Other effects of the year-over-year decrease in net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. was due to an increase in employee compensation, share-based compensation and headcount of implementation engineers and R&D engineers, resulting in increased cost of sales and R&D expenses. The sequential decrease was primarily the result of increased G&A and R&D expenses.

In the second quarter of 2012, net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) was US$18.6 million or US$0.26 per basic share. Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) in the year-ago period was US$29.3 million or US$0.40 per basic share. Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) in the previous quarter was US$19.4 million or US$0.27 per basic share. Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) decreased 36.4% year-over-year and 3.9% sequentially, mainly due to an increase in employee compensation, increased headcount of implementation engineers and R&D engineers, resulting in increased cost of sales and R&D expenses. The sequential decrease was primarily the result of increased G&A and R&D expenses.

As of June 30, 2012, AsiaInfo-Linkage had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling US$269.3 million and short-term investments totaling US$26.8 million. Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2012 was a net outflow of US$31.2 million.

As of June 30, 2012, AsiaInfo-Linkage had gross accounts receivable (“AR”) of US$307.3 million compared to US$301.3 million as of March 31, 2012, US$298.1 million as of June 30, 2011, and US$281.6 million as of December 31, 2011. Gross AR includes agent arrangements with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) or its distributors and a few other hardware companies (“IBM-Type Arrangements”). Since these arrangements typically consist of back-to-back payment terms for certain products sold to AsiaInfo-Linkage customers, there is no impact on the Company’s cash flow or days of sales outstanding (“DSO”). Net AR, which excludes IBM-Type Arrangements, was US$222.9 million as of June 30, 2012, compared to US$222.0 million as of March 31, 2012, US$220.7 million as of June 30, 2011, and US$204.4 million as of December 31, 2011. The combined effect of revenue and the AR trends, including lower down payments from certain customers as part of business expansion initiatives, resulted in the Company’s DSO being 154 days as of June 30, 2012 compared to 155 days as of March 31, 2012, 159 days as of June 30, 2011, and 147 days as of December 31, 2011. A table presenting further information regarding the Company’s gross AR, AR relating to IBM-Type Arrangements (“IBM-Related AR”), net AR, revenues and DSO is provided at the end of this press release.

Recent Developments

On March 26, 2012, AsiaInfo-Linkage announced that the Special Committee would solicit interest from, and engage in discussions with, other potential qualified interested parties regarding a potential transaction involving AsiaInfo-Linkage, and to evaluate any proposals it receives.

That process remains ongoing. However, there can be no assurance that any definitive offer will ultimately be made, that any agreement will be executed, or that any transaction will be approved or consummated by the Company.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release presents the following “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by applicable U.S. securities regulations. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional information to help both management and investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent and more meaningful basis and enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and prospects for the future. These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all items of income and expenses that impact the Company’s operations. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering the Company’s GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures the Company uses are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered an alternative to measurements required by GAAP and should not be considered measures of the Company’s liquidity. Pursuant to relevant regulatory requirements, we are providing the following reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

(1) Net revenue (non-GAAP)

AsiaInfo-Linkage’s net revenue (non-GAAP) represents total revenue net of third party hardware costs that are passed through to our customers. We believe total revenues net of third party hardware costs more accurately reflects our core business, which is the provision of software solutions and services, and provides transparency to our investors. It is also the same measure used by our management to evaluate the competitiveness and development of our business.

Reconciliation of net revenue (non-GAAP) to GAAP total revenues

(2) Gross margin of net revenue (non-GAAP)

Gross margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing gross profit, excluding third party hardware costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and share-based compensation expenses, by net revenue (non-GAAP). We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses and income that may not be indicative of our operating performance. Management uses the gross margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) measure to gain a better understanding of the Company’s comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis of planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP gross margin and other GAAP financial metrics, provides useful information to investors by offering: a) the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results; b) the ability to better identify trends in the Company’s underlying business and perform related trend analysis; c) a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business; and d) an easier way to compare the Company’s most recent results of operations against investor and analyst financial models.

(3) Operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP)

Operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing income from operations, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses and non-recurring consulting related expenses, by net revenue (non-GAAP). We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses and income that may not be indicative of our operating performance. Management uses the operating margin of net revenue (non-GAAP) measure to gain a better understanding of the Company’s comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis of planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP operating margin and other GAAP financial metrics, provides useful information to investors by offering: a) the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results; b) the ability to better identify trends in the Company’s underlying business and perform related trend analysis; c) a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business; and d) an easier way to compare the Company’s most recent results of operations against investor and analyst financial models.

(4) Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP)

Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-recurring consulting related expenses, dividend income and a 15% tax rate adjustment for LKNJ. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses and income that may not be indicative of our operating performance. Management uses the net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) measure to gain a better understanding of the Company’s comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis of planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes the Company’s net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) measure, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP net income measure and other GAAP financial metrics, provides useful information to investors by offering: a) the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results; b) the ability to better identify trends in the Company’s underlying business and perform related trend analysis; c) a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business; and d) an easier way to compare the Company’s most recent results of operations against investor and analyst financial models.

Reconciliation of net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) to GAAP net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc.

(5) Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) per basic share

Net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) per basic share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) (which as discussed above excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-recurring consulting related expenses, dividend income and a 15% tax rate adjustment for LKNJ) by the same number of weighted average shares outstanding used in the computation of net income per basic share. Management believes that net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) per basic share, when used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. per basic share, provides useful information to investors for the same reasons discussed above regarding net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc (non-GAAP). In addition, net income attributable to AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc. (non-GAAP) per basic share allows investors to evaluate the Company’s operating performance from period to period on a per share basis, thus providing a useful basis for assessing the Company’s value on a per share basis.

AR, IBM-Related AR, Revenue and DSO

AR balances included both billed and unbilled amounts. Revenue recognized in excess of billings is recorded as unbilled receivable. In addition to revenues from the sales of its goods and services and from hardware procured on behalf of customers, the Company generated service revenues by acting as a sales agent pursuant to the IBM-Type Arrangements. In December 2010, the Company disposed of its former IT Security business and, accordingly, no longer generates revenues from the sale of its information security products. The Company’s DSO calculations are as follows as of the last day of the respective periods indicated, with net AR excluding the receivables attributable to the IBM-Type Arrangements, and with revenues excluding those attributable to the IT Security Business, respectively:

1) Q1 2011 DSO = (Q4 2010 net AR + Q1 2011 net AR)/2/Q1 revenue x 90

2) Q2 2011 DSO = (Q4 2010 net AR + Q2 2011 net AR)/2/Q2 cumulative revenue x 180

3) Q3 2011 DSO = (Q4 2010 net AR + Q3 2011 net AR)/2/Q3 cumulative revenue x 270

4) Q4 2011 DSO = (Q4 2010 net AR + Q4 2011 net AR)/2/Q4 cumulative revenue x 360

5) Q1 2012 DSO = (Q4 2011 net AR + Q1 2012 net AR)/2/Q1 revenue x 90

6) Q2 2012 DSO = (Q4 2011 net AR + Q2 2012 net AR)/2/Q2 cumulative revenue x 180

The following table presents further information regarding the Company’s gross AR, net AR, revenues, and DSO.
