Fourth Quarter 2009 Unaudited Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 increased 3% quarter-over-quarter and 21% year-over-year to US$70.7 million.
Revenues from game operations for the fourth quarter of 2009 increased 3% quarter-over-quarter and 22% year-over-year to US$68.6 million. The sequential increase primarily reflects the growing popularity of our games. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increased popularity of the Company's flagship game, TLBB.
Overseas licensing revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 increased 15% quarter-over-quarter and 5% year-over-year to US$2.1 million. The increases were mainly due to increased momentum of TLBB in Vietnam and Malaysia.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2009 increased 2% quarter-over-quarter and 21% year-over-year to US$65.3 million. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2009 was 92%, compared to 93% in the previous quarter and 92% in the fourth quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2009 increased 2% quarter-over-quarter and 21% year-over-year to US$65.3 million.

Non-GAAP product development expenses increased 5% sequentially and decreased 12% year-over-year to US$5.1 million. The sequential increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits due to hiring of more game engineers. The year-over-year decrease was primarily the result of a change in the Company's bonus program for key engineers, for whom the Company lessened cash bonuses after share-based awards previously granted increased in value after the Company's IPO.
Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses increased 3% sequentially and decreased 5% year-over-year to US$9.5 million. The sequential increase was primarily due to an increase in marketing and promotional activities for new content releases of the Company's existing games. The year-over-year decrease was primarily because of savings in marketing and promotional spending due to the Company's optimization of marketing campaigns in 2009 offset by an increase in salaries and benefits from the expansion of our sales and marketing team.
Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses decreased 25% sequentially and 2% year-over-year to US$3.1 million. The sequential decrease was primarily due to an increase in legal expenses to enforce the Company's intellectual property rights in the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease was primarily the result of a change in our bonus program for management, for whom we lessened cash bonuses after share-based awards previously granted increased in value after the IPO.

The Asset's Triple A Regional Award for Best ADR Equity Deal/IPO of 2009
In January 2010, Changyou was honored as the "Best ADR Equity Deal/IPO of 2009" in The Asset's 2009 Triple A Regional Awards. The Asset magazine's annual Triple A awards recognize institutions and individuals that have made a significant contribution to the development of the finance industry in Asia and are highly regarded due to their rigorous assessment process. Changyou was awarded "Best ADR Equity Deal/IPO of 2009" based on a number of factors, including the execution, size, pricing and after-market performance of the Company's IPO.
Business Outlook
Changyou estimates total revenues for the first quarter of 2010 to be between US$70.0 million and US$73.0 million.
Changyou estimates non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2010 to be between US$41.0 million and US$42.5 million.
Changyou estimates non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per ADS for the first quarter of 2010 to be between US$0.77 and US$0.80.
Assuming no new grants of share-based awards, Changyou estimates share-based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2010 to be between US$3.0 million and US$3.5 million, reducing fully diluted earnings per ADS by US$0.06 to US$0.07.
Non-GAAP Disclosure
To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Changyou's management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, net income and net income per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the compensation cost of share-based awards granted to employees. 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.
Changyou's management believes that 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 these expenses are not built into the Company's annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which generally will be the basis for information Changyou 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, Changyou does not factor this in when evaluating and approving expenditures or when determining the allocation of its resources to its business operations. As a result, in general, the monthly financial results for internal reporting and any performance measure for commissions and bonuses are based on non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense.
The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of Changyou'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 ADS, excluding share-based compensation expense, is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in the Company's business for the foreseeable future. In order to mitigate these limitations the Company has 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 the Company has presented.
Notes to Financial Information
Financial information in this press release other than the information indicated as being non-GAAP is extracted from Changyou's unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Safe Harbor Statement
It is currently expected that the Business Outlook will not be updated until the release of Changyou's next quarterly earnings announcement; however, Changyou reserves the right to update its Business Outlook at any time for any reason.
This announcement contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company's 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. The Company cautions that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Changyou's Registration Statement on Form F-1 originally filed on March 17, 2009 as amended through March 31, 2009, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
