Dr. Charles Zhang, Chairman and CEO of Sohu.com, stated, “We are pleased to report outstanding second quarter results for Sohu, exceeding our expectations in each of our revenue categories and earnings. Our dominant advantages surrounding the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games – as official Internet Content Sponsor and operator of beijing2008.cn, exclusive strategic partner of China Interactive Sports, and exclusive Internet Content Partner for Team China – are paying off. Advertising revenue momentum continues to accelerate as our unmatched content strength brings in more users, increased traffic and new advertisers.”
Second Quarter Financial Results
Total revenues for second quarter ended June 30, 2007 totaled US$39.0 million, compared to revenues of US$33.1 million for first quarter ended March 31, 2007, and US$34.1 million for second quarter ended June 30, 2006.
Gross margin of 61% in second quarter of 2007 increased from 60% in the previous quarter and decreased from 63% in the same period of 2006. Non-GAAP gross margin was 62% in the second quarter of 2007, up from 61% in the previous quarter and down from 64% in the same period of 2006.
Net income for second quarter of 2007 was US$5.7 million or US$0.15 per fully diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for second quarter of 2007 was US$8.1 million or US$0.21 per fully diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of US$7.0 million or US$0.18 per fully diluted share for first quarter 2007 and US$8.4 million or US$0.22 per fully diluted share for second quarter of 2006 which included a gain on early redemption of convertible notes of US$0.8 million.
Advertising revenues for second quarter of 2007 totaled US$28.4 million, an 11% quarter-on-quarter increase and a 24% year-on-year increase. Advertising revenues, consisting of US$26.6 million in brand advertising and US$1.8 million in sponsored search, accounted for 73% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2007. Brand advertising revenues for second quarter of 2007 increased 13% quarter-on-quarter and 38% year-on-year. Sponsored search revenues for second quarter of 2007 decreased 16% quarter-on-quarter and 50% year-on-year. Advertising gross margin for second quarter of 2007 was 62%, flat with the previous quarter and down from 70% in the second quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP advertising gross margin for second quarter of 2007 was 64%, flat with the previous quarter and down from 71% in the second quarter of 2006.
For the second quarter of 2007, Sohu’s non-advertising revenues, which are derived mainly from wireless value-added services and online games, were US$10.6 million, representing 27% of total revenues. Non-advertising gross margin was 56%, compared to 52% in the previous quarter and 50% in second quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP non-advertising gross margin was 56%, compared to 52% in the previous quarter and 50% in second quarter of 2006. The increase in non-advertising gross margin was primarily due to the commercial launch of TLBB.
For second quarter of 2007, Sohu’s operating expenses totaled US$18.7 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses totaled US$16.7 million, an increase of 22% from the previous quarter and up 19% year-on-year. The quarter-on-quarter and year-over-year increases were mainly due to continued investment in product development and Sohu branding, as well as marketing expenses in promoting TLBB.
As of June 30, 2007, Sohu’s balance of cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable debt securities was US$113.1 million, compared to US$97.5 million and US$129.7 million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Carol Yu, Co-President and CFO of Sohu.com, commented, “We are very pleased with our second quarter results. We look forward to accelerating momentum during the run-up to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games through continued solid execution of our Olympic strategy. In addition, we will closely monitor progress of TLBB and strive to capitalize on its initial success.”
Business Outlook
Sohu estimates total revenues for third quarter 2007 to be between US$45 million to US$47 million, with advertising revenues of US$30 million to US$31 million and non-advertising revenues of US$15 million to US$16 million. Sohu estimates brand advertising revenues for the third quarter of 2007 to be between US$28.5 million to US$29.5 million.
Sohu estimates non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2007 to be between US$0.25 and US$0.27.
Assuming no new grants of share-based awards, Sohu estimates share-based compensation expense for the third quarter of 2007 to be between US$2.0 million and US$2.1 million. The estimated impact of this expense is expected to reduce Sohu’s fully diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2007, under US GAAP, by US$0.05.
Non-GAAP Disclosure
To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), Sohu’s management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, net income and net income per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the compensation cost of share-based awards granted to employees under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123R, effective from January 1, 2006. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
Sohu’s management believes excluding the share-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measure is useful for itself and investors. Further, the amount of share-based compensation expense cannot be anticipated by management and business line leaders and these expenses were not built into the annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which have been the basis for information Sohu provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance. As share-based compensation expense does not involve any upfront or subsequent cash outflow, Sohu does not factor this in when evaluating and approving expenditures or when determining the allocation of its resources to its business segments. As a result, the monthly financial results for internal reporting and any performance measure for commission and bonus are based on non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense.
The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the investors’ overall understanding of Sohu’s current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, net income and net income per share, excluding share-based compensation expenses is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in our
business for the foreseeable future. In order to mitigate these limitations we have provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables include details on the reconciliation between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures we have presented.
Notes to Financial Information
Financial information in this press release other than the information indicated as being non-GAAP is extracted from Sohu’s unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
On June 20, 2006, Sohu discontinued its own e-commerce platform of physical consumer goods. While processing the disposal of its e-commerce business, Sohu is reporting the related business activities as discontinued operations. Sohu’s income statement separates out discontinued operations for both current and prior periods in order to focus on continuing operations and provide a consistent basis for comparing financial performance over time.
In previous quarters, most of costs and expenses for the game department were related to product development and research. Accordingly, Sohu recorded all such costs and expenses in product development expenses in its statements of operations. Beginning April 1, 2007, in order to better present operation results to enhance comparability with industry peers, Sohu reclassified expenses in related to game operations, mainly salary and benefits of game masters, from product development expense to cost of online game revenues. To conform with current period presentations, the relevant amounts for prior periods have been reclassified. Such reclassification amounted to US$275,000 and US$319,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively, and amounted to US$642,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Safe Harbor Statement

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the uncertain regulatory landscape in the People’s Republic of China, fluctuations in Sohu’s quarterly operating results, Sohu’s historical and possible future losses and limited operating history, and the company’s reliance on online advertising sales, wireless services (most wireless revenues are collected from a few mobile network operators), and online games for its revenues. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Sohu’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
