Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of presentation |
| (a) | Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation |
| (b) | Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the Consolidated VIEs for which the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the Consolidated VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation. Results of acquired subsidiaries and its Consolidated VIEs are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company.
Use of estimates |
| (c) | Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the Company’s financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of long-lived assets, subsequent impairment assessment of long-lived assets and goodwill arising from business acquisition, determining the fair value of equity method investments and retained equity investments in the disposed subsidiaries, accounting for investments and the subsequent impairment assessment, determining the provision for accounts and other receivable, accounting for deferred income taxes, accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, and accounting for capital lease. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency |
| (d) | Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Company and its overseas subsidiaries is the United States dollar (“US$”), whereas the functional currency of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and its Consolidated VIEs is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as determined based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The Company uses the RMB as its reporting currency. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities are re-measured at the balance sheet date exchange rate. Exchange gains and losses are included in foreign exchange gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations. Assets and liabilities of the Company and its overseas subsidiaries are translated into RMB at fiscal year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income within the statements of comprehensive loss.
Convenience Translation |
| (e) | Convenience translation
Amounts in US$ are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of US$1.00 to RMB6.5063 on December 29, 2017 in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at such rate.
Cash and cash equivalents |
| (f) | Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use and have original maturities less than three months. All highly liquid investments with a stated maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.
Restricted cash |
| (g) | Restricted cash
Restricted cash mainly represents amounts held by a few banks in escrow as security for credit facilities, the guarantee of compliance with the network and service requirements of the radio spectrum license awarded by the Hong Kong Telecommunication Authority, the deposits held in escrow for the advances received from end customers subscribing Office 365 and Windows Azure services (the disbursement of which shall be agreed by both Microsoft (China) Co., Ltd. (“Microsoft”) and the Company).
Short-term investments |
| (h) | Short-term investments
All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than 90 days but less than 365 days are mainly fixed rate time deposits that are classified as short-term investments. The Company accounts for the investments in debt and equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320 (“ASC 320”), Investments—Debt and Equity Securities. The Company classifies the investments in debt and equity securities as “held-to-maturity”, “trading” or “available-for-sale”, whose classification determines the respective accounting methods stipulated by ASC 320. Dividend and interest income for all categories of investments in securities are included in earnings. Any realized gains or losses, if any, on the sale of the short-term investments are determined on a specific identification method, and such gains and losses are reflected in earnings during the period in which gains or losses are realized. The securities that the Company has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and stated at amortized cost. For individual securities classified as held-to-maturity securities, the Company evaluates whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary in accordance with the Company’s policy and ASC 320. When the Company intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred. In these instances, the other-than-temporary impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the entire excess of the debt security’s amortized cost basis over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. When the Company does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company must determine whether or not it will recover its amortized cost basis. If the Company concludes that it will not, an other-than-temporary impairment exists and that portion of the credit loss is recognized in earnings, while the portion of loss related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive loss. The securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings. Investments not classified as trading or as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Realized gains or losses are included in earnings during the period in which the gain or loss is realized. An impairment loss on the available-for-sale securities would be recognized in earnings when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. No impairment loss had been recorded during each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Debt |
| (i) | Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful debt
Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful debt is recorded in the period when loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging and other factors. An accounts receivable is written off after all collection effort has ceased.
Inventories |
| (j) | Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net market value are made, if required, for decreases in sales prices, obsolescence or similar reductions in the estimated net realizable value.
Property and equipment |
(k) | Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Category |  | Estimated useful life
Property |  | 25-46 years
Leasehold improvements |  | Over the shorter of lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets
Optical fibers |  | 10-20 years
Computer and network equipment |  | 1-10 years
Office equipment |  | 1-8 years
Motor vehicles |  | 4-8 years
Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas the costs of betterments that extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sale and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Property and equipment that are purchased or constructed which require a period of time before the assets are ready for their intended use are accounted for as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is recorded at acquisition cost, including installation costs. Construction-in-progress is transferred to specific property and equipment accounts and commences depreciation when these assets are ready for their intended use.
Intangible assets |
| (l) | Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any recorded impairment. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using a straight-line method. These amortization methods reflect the estimated pattern in which the economic benefits of the respective intangible assets are to be consumed. The Company has capitalized certain internal use software development costs in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-40 (“ASC 350-40”), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use Software, amounting to RMB23,780, RMB12,781 and RMB9,238 (US$1,420) for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The Company capitalizes certain costs relating to software acquired, developed, or modified solely to meet the Company’s internal requirements and for which there are no substantive plans to market the software. These costs mainly include the consulting and service fees paid to a third-party developer that are directly associated with the internal-use software projects during the application development stage and the research staff costs directly associated with the internal-develop software projects during the application development stage. Capitalized internal-use software costs are included in “intangible assets, net”. Intangible assets have weighted average useful lives from the date of purchase/ acquisition as follows:
Purchased software |  |  | 4.4 years |
Radio spectrum license |  |  | 15 years |
Contract backlog* |  |  | 4.9 years |
Customer relationships* |  |  | 8.8 years |
Supplier relationships* |  |  | 10 years |
Licenses* |  |  | 15 years |
Trade Name* |  |  | 20 years |
Platform software* |  |  | 5 years |
Non-compete agreement* |  |  | 5 years |
Internal use software |  |  | 4.9 years |
| * | Acquired in the acquisitions of subsidiaries.
Land use rights |
| (m) | Land use rights
The land use rights represent the amounts paid and relevant costs incurred for the rights to use land in the PRC and are recorded at purchase cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective land use rights certificates.
Long-term investments |
| (n) | Long-term investments
The Company’s long-term investments consist of cost method investments, equity method investments and available for sale investments. In accordance with ASC 325-20, Investments-Other: Cost Method Investments, for investments in an investee over which the Company does not have significant influence, the Company carries the investment at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distributions of earnings. The Company’s management regularly evaluates the impairment of its cost method investments based on the performance and financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of estimated market values. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee’s cash position, recent financing, projected and historical financial performance, cash flow forecasts and current and future financing needs. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations equal to the excess of the investment’s cost over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment. Investments in equity investees represent investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323-10, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Overall. The Company applies the equity method of accounting that is consistent with ASC 323-10 in limited partnerships in which the Company holds a three percent or greater interest. Under the equity method, the Company initially records its investment at cost and prospectively recognizes its proportionate share of each equity investee’s net profit or loss into its consolidated statements of operations. The difference between the cost of the equity investee and the amount of the underlying equity in the net assets of the equity investee is recognized as equity method goodwill included in equity method investments on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment under ASC 323-10. An impairment loss on the equity method investments is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary.
Goodwill |
(o) | Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of an acquired business. In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, recorded goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment present. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company assigned and assessed goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. Prior to the change in segment reporting in 2016, the Company had one single reporting unit which is also its only operating segment. Goodwill that has arisen as a result of the acquisitions of subsidiaries was assigned to this reporting unit. Immediately upon the change in segment reporting in 2016, there were two reporting units consisting of two service lines namely hosting and related services and managed network services. The goodwill was reassigned to the two reporting units using a relative fair value allocation approach. After the disposal of WiFire Entities and Aipu Group as defined in Note 4 in September 2017, the Company determined that there is only hosting and related services remained and hence the Company as a whole is one reporting unit as of December 31, 2017. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Fair value is primarily determined by computing the future discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the reporting unit. Immediately before the disposal of WiFire Entities and Aipu Group in September 2017, the Company completed its impairment test for goodwill in managed network services. The Company determined the fair value of the reporting unit using the income approach based on the discounted expected cash flows associated with the reporting unit. The discounted cash flows for the reporting unit were based on five year projections. Cash flow projections were based on past experience, actual operating results and management best estimates about future developments as well as certain market assumptions. Cash flows after five years were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which considered terminal value growth at 3%, considering the long term revenue growth for entities in a similar industry in the PRC. The discount rate of approximately 13% was derived and used in the valuations which reflect the market assessment of the risks specific to the Company and its industry and is based on its weighted average cost of capital. The resulting fair value of the reporting unit significant lower than its carrying value, the Company fully impaired goodwill in managed network services and recorded an amount of RMB766 million for impairment loss of goodwill as of December 31, 2017 and nil and nil as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Pursuant to ASC 350-30, the Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment for hosting and related services. As of October 1, 2017, the Company completed its annual impairment test for goodwill that has arisen out of its acquisitions. The Company evaluated all relevant factors including, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, financial performance, and the share price of the Company. The Company weighed all factors in their entirety and concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not the fair value was less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, and further impairment testing on goodwill was unnecessary.
Impairment of long-lived assets |
(p) | Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or a group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available for the long-lived assets. In 2016, due to the deterioration of the operating results of one of the Company’s asset group, the Company recognized an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. The Company determined the fair value of the asset group using the income approach based on the discounted expected cash flows associated with the asset group. The discounted cash flows for the asset group were based on eight year projections which is consistent with the remaining useful lives of its principal assets. Cash flow projections were based on past experience, actual operating results and management best estimates about future developments as well as certain market assumptions. The discount rate of approximately 13% was derived and used in the valuations which reflect the market assessment of the risks specific to the Company and its industry and is based on its weighted average cost of capital. As of December 31, 2017, due to continued operational losses, the Company recorded the long-lived assets impairment amounting to RMB170,695 and RMB231,113 for the asset groups of Aipu Group and WiFire Entities, respectively, resulting from excess of the carrying amount of the asset groups over their fair values of the two asset groups, respectively. The Company determined the fair value of the asset groups using the income approach based on the discounted expected cash flows associated with the respective asset groups. The discounted cash flows for the asset groups were based on seven year projections for Aipu and five years for WiFire Entities, which are consistent with the remaining useful lives of its principal assets. Cash flow projections were based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The discount rate of approximately 13% was derived and used in the valuations which reflect the market assessment of the risks specific to the Company and its industry and is based on its weighted average cost of capital. No impairment was recognized in other assets groups as there was no impairment indicator identified. The impairment loss reduced the carrying amount of the long-lived assets of a group on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amount of those assets. The Company recorded impairment charges associated with its long-lived assets and acquired intangibles as follows:
|  | Years ended December 31, |
|  | 2015 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2017 |
|  | RMB |  |  | RMB |  |  | RMB |  |  | US$ |
Impairment of equipment |  |  | — |  |  |  | 238,144 |  |  |  | 237,956 |  |  |  | 36,443 |
Impairment of intangible assets |  |  | — |  |  |  | 154,803 |  |  |  | 163,852 |  |  |  | 25,314 |
Fair value of financial instruments |
| (q) | Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable, other receivables and payables, bonds payable, short-term, long-term bank borrowings, available-for-sale investments, share-settled bonuses, liability-classified restricted share units, and balances with related parties. Other than the bonds payable, long-term bank borrowings, share-settled bonuses and the contingent consideration payable included in the balances with related parties, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amounts of long-term bank borrowings approximate their fair values since they bear interest rates which approximate market interest rates. The contingent considerations and share-settled bonuses are initially measured at fair value on the acquisition dates of the acquired businesses and the date of grant, respectively, and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period with an adjustment for fair value recorded to the current period expense
Revenue recognition |
| (r) | Revenue recognition
The Company provides hosting and related services including hosting of customers’ servers and networking equipment, connecting customers’ servers with internet backbones, content delivery network services optimizing speed and security of data transmission, virtual private network services providing encrypted secured connection to public internet and other value-added services. Prior to the disposal of WiFire Entities and Aipu Group in September 2017, the Company also provides managed network services to enable its customers to deliver data across the internet in a faster and more reliable manner through extensive data transmission network and BroadEx smart routing technology, and to get the last-mile broadband internet connection services in large metro areas in China. Consistent with the criteria under ASC topic 605 (“ASC 605”), Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue from sales of these services when there is a signed sales agreement with fixed or determinable fees, services have been provided to the customer and collection of the resulting customer’s receivable is reasonably assured. The Company’s services are provided under the terms of a master service agreement, which will typically accompany a one-year term renewal option with the same terms and conditions. Customers can choose at the outset of the arrangement to either use the Company’s services through a monthly fixed fee arrangement or choose a plan based on actual bandwidth or traffic volume used during the month at fixed pre-set rates. The Company recognizes and bills for revenue for excess usage, if any, in the month of its occurrence to the extent a customer’s usage of the services exceeds their pre-set monthly fixed bandwidth usage and fee arrangements. The rates as specified in the master service agreements are fixed for the duration of the contract term and are not subject to adjustment. Prior to the disposal of Aipu Group in September 2017, the Company also provides last-mile wired broadband internet access services, sometimes bundled with broadband related products, to individual and corporate customers at agreed prices. The Company allocates the contract price based on the relative selling price method under which the selling price of each deliverable is determined using VSOE of selling price, third-party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price, or management’s best estimate of the selling price (“BESP”). The Company considers all reasonably available information in determining the BESP, including both market and entity-specific factors. Revenues are recognized for each deliverable when all four criteria under ASC 605-10 are met. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of service sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. Generally, when the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, have latitude in establishing prices and / or selecting suppliers, or have several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded at the gross sale price. The Company generally records the net amounts as commissions earned if the Company is not primarily obligated and do not have latitude in establishing prices. Such amounts earned are determined using a fixed percentage of the gross sales price. Cash received in advance from customers that are expected to be recognized as revenue upon completion of performance obligations is recorded as deferred revenue when there is no general right of refund; otherwise, it is recorded as advances from customers. Business tax on revenues earned from provision of services to customers is recorded as a deduction from gross revenue to derive net revenue in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized. Most of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and its Consolidated VIEs are subject to a business tax rate of 3% or 5%. The business tax expenses and other surcharges for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to RMB6,394. Effective since June 2014, VAT of 6% replaced the original business tax for all telecommunication services provided in Mainland China. There was no business tax expense charged in 2016 and afterwards.
Cost of revenues |
| (s) | Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of telecommunication costs, depreciation of the Company’s long-lived assets, amortization of acquired intangible assets, maintenance, data center rental expenses directly attributable to the provision of the IDC services, payroll and other related costs of operations.
Advertising expenditures |
| (t) | Advertising expenditures
Advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expenses, which amounted to RMB26,360, RMB20,420 and RMB7,773 (US$1,195) for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
Research and development expenses |
| (u) | Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of payroll and related personnel costs for routine upgrades and related enhancements of the Company’s services and network. Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred.
Government grants |
| (v) | Government grants
Government grants are provided by the relevant PRC municipal government authorities to subsidize the cost of certain research and development projects. The amount of such government grants are determined solely at the discretion of the relevant government authorities and there is no assurance that the Company will continue to receive these government grants in the future. Government grants are recognized when it is probable that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them, and the grants are received. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate, as a reduction of the related operating expense. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred government grants and released to the consolidated statement of operations in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset, when operational, as a reduction of the related depreciation expense.
Leases |
| (w) | Leases
Leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. The Company did not enter into any leases whereby it is the lessor for any of the periods presented. As the lessee, a lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exists: a) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, b) there is a bargain purchase option, c) the lease term is at least 75% of the property’s estimated remaining economic life, or d) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date. A capital lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. The Company entered into capital leases for certain optical fiber, computer and network equipment and property in the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the periods of their respective lease terms. The Company leases office space and employee accommodation under operating lease agreements. Certain lease agreements contain rent holidays and escalating rent. Rent holidays and escalating rent are considered in determining the straight-line rent expense to be recorded over the lease term. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the lease property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Capitalized interest |
| (x) | Capitalized interest
Interest costs are capitalized if they are incurred during the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset and such costs could have been avoided if expenditures for these assets have not been made. As a result of total interest costs capitalized during the period, the interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, was as follows:
|  | 2015 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2017 |
|  | RMB |  |  | RMB |  |  | RMB |  |  | US$ |
Interest expense and amortization cost of bonds |  |  | 172,677 |  |  |  | 113,367 |  |  |  | 63,354 |  |  |  | 9,738 |
Interest expense on bank and other borrowings |  |  | 55,391 |  |  |  | 46,377 |  |  |  | 87,916 |  |  |  | 13,512 |
Interest expense on capital lease |  |  | 57,189 |  |  |  | 66,687 |  |  |  | 63,757 |  |  |  | 9,799 |
Total interest costs |  |  | 285,257 |  |  |  | 226,431 |  |  |  | 215,027 |  |  |  | 33,049 |
Less: Total interest costs capitalized |  |  | (11,073 | ) |  |  | (27,842 | ) |  |  | (29,714 | ) |  |  | (4,567 | )
Interest expense, net |  |  | 274,184 |  |  |  | 198,589 |  |  |  | 185,313 |  |  |  | 28,482 |
Income taxes |
| (y) | Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company applies ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, to account for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of “income tax” in the consolidated statements of operations. On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, and classified all deferred income tax assets as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheets on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard resulted in the reclassification of RMB43 million from current deferred tax assets to noncurrent deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.
Share-based compensation |
| (z) | Share-based compensation
Share options and Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) granted to employees are accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires that share-based awards granted to employees be measured based on the grant date fair value and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period and/or performance period (which is generally the vesting period) in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for share-based awards granted with service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule. For share-based awards granted with performance conditions, the Company recognizes compensation expense using the accelerated method. The Company commences recognition of the related compensation expense if it is probable that the defined performance condition will be met. To the extent that the Company determines that it is probable that a different number of share-based awards will vest depending on the outcome of the performance condition, the cumulative effect of the change in estimate is recognized in the period of change. For the performance bonuses that the employees can elect to settle in cash and/or restricted shares at an agreed premium of the Company (“Share-Settled Bonus”), the Company estimates the portion of the arrangement to be settled in shares based on its past settlement practices and classifies such portion as a liability in accordance with ASC topic 480 (“ASC 480”), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company remeasures the fair value of such liability at each reporting period end through earnings until the underlying shares were approved and granted to the employees and accounted for the granted restricted shares unit as equity award. The original cash bonus amount continues to be classified as a liability within “Accrued expenses and other payables” in the consolidated balance sheets until the end of the six months’ lock-up period as such amounts will be paid to the employees in cash upon the termination of their employment. The fair value of the premium will be reclassified to additional paid in capital and recognized over the remaining lock-up period using the accelerated method, respectively. A cancellation of the terms or conditions of an equity award under original award in exchange for a new award should be treated as modification. The compensation costs associated with the modified awards are recognized if either the original vesting conditions or the new vesting conditions have been achieved. Total recognized compensation cost for the awards is at least equal to the fair value of the original awards at the grant date unless at the date of the modification the performance or service conditions of the original awards are not expected to be satisfied. The incremental compensation cost is measured as the excess of the fair value of the replacement awards over the fair value at the modification date. Therefore, in relation to the modified awards, the Company recognizes share-based compensation over the vesting periods of the new awards, which comprises (i) the amortization of the incremental portion of share-based compensation over the remaining vesting term, and (ii) any unrecognized compensation cost of original awards, using either the original term or the new term, whichever results in higher expenses for each reporting period. For modification of a liability award that remains a liability after modification, the liability award continues to be remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. On April 15, 2016 (“the Modification date”), the Company made revisions to the Share-Settled Bonus to remove the agreed premium and six month lock-up period for the employees above a specified level and the option to settle in share for the employees below a specified level. The modified awards remain as liabilities in accordance with ASC 718 as the Company can only settle the Share-Settled Bonus by issuing variable number of shares until the settlement date or in cash. In January 2017, the Company made revisions to the Share-Settled Bonus to remove the option to settle bonus accrued in 2017. For the Share-Settled Bonus accrued in 2016 which were elected to be settled in shares, the Company issued shares to settle all the Share-Settled Bonus as of December 31, 2017. On November 26, 2016, the Board approved a new incentive program to replace unvested RSUs to certain individuals with a new bonus scheme which will be settled by issuing a variable number of shares with a fair value equal to fixed dollar amount on the settlement date. The modification was treated as an equity to liability modification in accordance with ASC 718. The Company remeasures the fair value of such liability at each reporting period end through earnings until the actual settlement date, which is the date when the number of underlying shares were fixed and recorded the incremental cost over the remaining vesting term and the unrecognized compensation of original awards using the new term. Before January 1, 2017, the Company elected to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical and future expectations of employee turnover rates and are adjusted to reflect future changes in facts and circumstances, if any. Share-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expense is recorded only for those share-based awards that are expected to vest. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company estimated that the forfeiture rate for both the management and non-management employees of the Company was 1.10% and 1.81%. On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, and elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of RMB13,425 (US$2,058) was recorded upon transition, which is measured for outstanding awards based on the difference between (1) the fair value estimate of awards historically expected to be forfeited and (2) the fair value estimate of awards actually forfeited.
Loss per share |
| (aa) | Loss per share
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of unrestricted ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Contingently issuable shares, including performance-based share awards and contingent considerations to be settled in shares, are included in the computation of basic earnings per share only when there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Contingently issuable shares are included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation as of the beginning of the period or as of the inception date of the contingent share arrangement, if later, only when dilutive and when all the necessary conditions have been satisfied as of the reporting period end. For contracts that may be settled in ordinary shares or in cash at the election of the Company, share settlement is presumed, pursuant to which incremental shares relating to the number of shares that would be required to settle the contract are included in the denominator of diluted loss per share calculation if the effect is more dilutive. For the contracts that may be settled in ordinary shares or in cash at the election of the counterparty, the more dilutive option of cash or share settlement is used for the purposes of diluted loss per share calculation, pursuant to which share settlement requires the number of shares that would be required to settle the contract be included in the denominator whereas cash settlement requires an adjustment to be made to the numerator for any changes in income or loss that would result as if the contract had been classified as an asset or a liability for accounting purposes during the period for a contract that is classified as equity for accounting purposes, if the effect is more dilutive. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the share options, using the treasury stock method. Ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.
Share repurchase program |
| (bb) | Share repurchase program
Pursuant to the Board of Directors’ resolutions on August 18, 2016, the Company’s management is authorized to repurchase, in one or more tranches, up to an aggregate of US$200,000 of its own outstanding shares (including shares represented by ADSs) (each such transaction a “Repurchase”) over a period of 12 months starting from June 29, 2016. The Company accounted for the repurchased shares as Treasury Stock at cost in accordance to ASC 505-30, Treasury Stock, and the share repurchase is shown separately in the consolidated statement of shareholder’s equity, as the Company has not yet decided on the ultimate disposition of those ADSs acquired. When the Company uses the treasury stock to settle the share consideration for the acquisitions (Note 18), the difference between the fair value at settlement date and the repurchase price is debited into additional paid-in capital. When the Company decides to retire the treasury stock, the difference between the original issuance price and the repurchase price is debited into accumulated deficit. For the year ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Company repurchased nil, 4,893,150 and 20,690,892 ADSs for a consideration of nil, RMB42,665 and RMB133,126 (US$20,461).
Comprehensive loss |
| (cc) | Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss is defined as the decrease in equity of the Company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Accumulated other comprehensive loss of the Company includes foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Company and its overseas subsidiaries, whose functional currency is US$.
Segment reporting |
| (dd) | Segment reporting
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company historically had only one single reportable segment since the Company’s chief executive officer, who has been identified as the Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) formerly relied on the consolidated results of operations when making decisions on allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. On October 1, 2016, the Company changed its reportable segments as the CODM reviewed the operating result of two different services in order to allocate resources and assess performance of the Company. The operations of the Company are organized into two segments, consisting of the hosting and related services and managed network services. Hosting and related services business focuses primarily on colocation, interconnectivity, cloud, VPN, hybrid IT and other value-added services. Managed network services focuses on businesses that primarily utilize bandwidth such as content delivery network (“CDN”) service, hosting area network services and last-mile wired broadband service. In September 2017, the Company disposed WiFire Entities and Aipu Group (Note 4), which are primarily engaged in the managed network services. After the disposals, the CODM reviews the operation results on the Company basis. As of December 31, 2017, the Company only has one reporting segment. The Company has restated the presentation of its reportable segments for prior years to conform with the current year’s presentation.
Employee benefits |

Recent accounting pronouncements |
| (gg) | Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is originally effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. As a result, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company has substantially completed the assessment over the impact of adopting this new guidance and does not expect the adoption will have significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”), Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. An entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. ASU 2016-01 also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new standard on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases. ASU 2016-02 specifies the accounting for leases. For operating leases, ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard will replace “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, and early adoption is permitted. The Group is evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, FASB has issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The ASU affects all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods for public entities. The Group is evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. This standard provides clarity and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share based payment award. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
