Mobile revenues for the fourth quarter of 2015 were RMB973.9 million (US$150.3 million), an increase of 278.3% year-on-year, representing 75.3% of total revenues.
Flight and flight related revenues for the fourth quarter of 2015 were RMB636.2 million (US$98.2 million), an increase of 84.7% year-on-year and 6.6% quarter-on-quarter. Year-on-year flight and flight related revenue growth was primarily due to an increase in revenue per ticket and an increase in Total Estimated Flight Ticket volume (TEFT).
Accommodation reservation revenues were RMB535.1 million (US$82.6 million), an increase of 423.6% year-on-year and remaining relatively stable quarter-on-quarter. Excluding revenues generated from the merchant model program, where revenues are booked on a gross basis, accommodation reservation revenues were RMB312.7 million (US$48.3 million), an increase of 206.0% year-on-year. Year-on-year accommodation reservation revenue growth was primarily due to the increase in Total Estimated Hotel Room-night volume (TEHR).
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2015 was RMB786.6 million (US$121.4 million), an increase of 105.9% year-on-year. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 60.8%, compared to 73.5% for the corresponding period of 2014 and 62.4% for the third quarter of 2015. The quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year decreases in gross margin were primarily due to the increase in certain accommodation reservation revenues booked on a gross basis. The year-on-year increase in gross profit during the quarter was primarily due to the significant increase in total revenues.
Product development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were RMB1,531.8 million (US$236.5 million), an increase of 532.7% year-on-year, primarily due to a significant increase in share-based compensation expenses resulting from issuances under our new 2015 share incentive plan and our previously announced employee share exchange program that became effective starting on December 14, 2015 (the “Employee Share Exchange Program”), and an increase over the same period last year in salary, welfare and other expenses associated with headcount increases. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, product development expenses were RMB323.9 million (US$50.0 million), an increase of 43.6% year-on-year, and accounted for 25.0% of total revenues, compared to 43.4% for the corresponding period of 2014 and 26.9% for the third quarter of 2015.
Product sourcing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were RMB339.4 million (US$52.4 million), an increase of 207.0% year-on-year, primarily due to a significant increase in share-based compensation expenses resulting from issuances under our new 2015 share incentive plan and Employee Share Exchange Program and an increase over the same period last year in product sourcing headcount. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, product sourcing expenses were RMB193.6 million (US$29.9 million), an increase of 77.9% year-on-year, and accounted for 15.0% of total revenues, compared to 20.9% for the corresponding period of 2014 and 13.9% for the third quarter of 2015.
Sales and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were RMB872.8 million (US$134.7 million), an increase of 213.0% year-on-year, primarily due to a significant increase in share-based compensation expenses resulting from issuances under our new 2015 share incentive plan and Employee Share Exchange Program and stepped up discretionary expenditures to acquire new mobile users through offline channels, and to a lesser degree due to an increase in online marketing expenses as well as salary and welfare expenses as a result of increased headcount. The headcount expenses under sales and marketing were primarily expenses related to personnel with operational functions, including our customer service staff, photographers, editors, and staff responsible for data analysis. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, sales and marketing expenses were RMB589.2 million (US$91.0 million), an increase of 114.5% year-on-year, and accounted for 45.5% of total revenues, compared to 52.9% for the corresponding period of 2014 and 57.1% for the third quarter of 2015.
General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were RMB2,998.4 million (US$462.9 million), an increase of 2,814.1% year-on-year, primarily due to a significant increase in share-based compensation expenses and related professional service fees resulting from issuances under our new 2015 share incentive plan and Employee Share Exchange Program, and an increase in salary and welfare expenses associated with headcount increase. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses were RMB133.2 million (US$20.6 million), an increase of 121.5% year-on-year, and accounted for 10.3% of total revenues, compared to 11.6% for the corresponding period of 2014 and 5.8% for the third quarter of 2015.
Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2015 was RMB4,955.8 million (US$765.0 million), compared to RMB666.6 million in the corresponding period of 2014 and RMB661.1 million in the third quarter of 2015.

Operating margin (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2015 was negative 35.0%, compared to negative 55.2% in the corresponding period of 2014 and negative 41.3% in the third quarter of 2015. The year-on-year increase in operating loss was mainly attributable to a ROI-driven, aggressive marketing strategy, and continued investment in product development and product sourcing to accelerate rapid market share gains, especially with respect to the development of the Company's hotel direct business. The quarter-on-quarter decrease in operating loss was primarily due to strong revenue and controlled operating expenditures.
Net loss attributable to Qunar’s shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2015 was RMB5,091.0 million (US$785.9 million), compared to RMB675.5 million in the corresponding period of 2014 and RMB734.8 million in the third quarter of 2015. The quarter–on-quarter increase in net loss was primarily due to share-based compensation expenses resulting from issuances under our new 2015 share incentive plan and Employee Share Exchange Program. Basic and diluted net loss per ADS for the fourth quarter of 2015 was RMB36.90 (US$5.70).
Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP), defined as net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses of RMB4,502.5 million (US$695.1 million) and impairment loss of long-term investments of RMB39.4 million (US$6.1 million), was RMB550.9 million (US$85.0 million) for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to adjusted net loss of RMB295.9 million in the corresponding period of 2014 and adjusted net loss of RMB624.2 million in the third quarter of 2015.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Qunar's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United Statements Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Qunar also uses adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) as additional non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures enable management to assess the Company's operating results without considering the impact of noncash charges, including share-based compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization, online marketing expenses from the Zhixin Cooperation Agreement, fair value change in warrant liability and impairment loss of the long-term investments. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures eliminate the impact of items that Qunar does not consider indicative of the performance of its business.
Qunar presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate its operating performance, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions on capital allocation. Qunar also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating performance and consolidated results of operations in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of its peer companies. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures do not include all items that impact the Company's results of operations for the period. The table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Measures" has more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures.
