Strategic releases of updates proved to be successful in reinforcing the popularity of our existing games. Meanwhile, we’ve been focusing on diversifying our game portfolio through greater efforts on developing the differentiated games in our 2010 pipeline."

Commenting on Sohu’s brand advertising business, Ms. Belinda Wang, Co-President and COO, added, "Brand advertising revenues were in-line with our expectations and we are optimistic that business will accelerate as advertisers ramp up their promotional campaigns ahead of the World Expo and World Cup. Our nationwide marketing reach and diversified platform position us well as brands look for broad-based and effective advertising solutions in China."

Supplementary Metrics for Online Game Results

Operations

Aggregate registered accounts for Changyou’s games as of March 31, 2010 increased 8% quarter-over-quarter and 38% year-over-year to 87.4 million.

Aggregate peak concurrent users ("PCU") for Changyou’s games rose 5% quarter-over-quarter and increased 7% year-over-year to approximately 1.04 million.

Aggregate active paying accounts ("APA") for Changyou’s games was 2.4 million, which was consistent with last quarter and an increase of 5% year-over-year.

Aggregate average revenue per active paying account (“ARPU”) for Changyou’s games increased 2% quarter-over-quarter and 12% year-over-year to RMB201, which is within a range that Changyou targets to keep games affordable for the majority of Chinese game players.

Revenue

Total online game revenues for the first quarter of 2010 increased 2% quarter-over-quarter and 17% year-over-year to US$72.1 million.

Revenues from game operations for the first quarter of 2010 increased 2% quarter-over-quarter and 18% year-over-year to US$70.2 million. The increases were mainly due to the ongoing popularity of the Company’s flagship games.

Overseas licensing revenues for the first quarter of 2010 decreased 10% quarter-over-quarter and 17% year-over-year to US$1.9 million. The decrease was largely the result of greater competition in mature online game markets abroad.

Business Outlook

Sohu estimates total revenues for the second quarter of 2010 to be between US$139.0 million and US$144.0 million, with advertising revenues of US$54.0 million to US$56.0 million.

Sohu estimates brand advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2010 to be between US$51.0 million and US$53.0 million.

Sohu estimates online game revenues for the second quarter of 2010 to be between US$74.0 million and US$77.0 million.

Sohu estimates non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2010, before deducting the share of non-GAAP net income pertaining to the Non-Controlling Interest in Changyou, to be between US$48.0 million to US$50.5 million. After deducting the share of non-GAAP net income pertaining to the Non-Controlling Interest in Changyou, Sohu estimates non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2010 to be between US$34.0 million to US$36.0 million, and non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2010 to be between US 87 cents and US 92 cents.

Assuming no new grants of share-based awards, Sohu estimates compensation expense and income tax expense related to share-based awards for the second quarter of 2010 to be between US$6.5 million and US$7.5 million, which includes Changyou’s share-based compensation expense for the second quarter of 2010 estimated to be between US$2.0 million and US$2.5 million. Considering Sohu’s share in Changyou, the estimated impact of this expense under US GAAP is expected to reduce Sohu’s fully diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2010 by US 15 cents to US 17 cents.

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. 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 or business line leaders and these expenses are not built into the annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which is 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 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 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 expense, is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in Sohu’s 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 the 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 interim financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor Statement

This announcement contains forward-looking statements. It is currently expected that the Business Outlook will not be updated until release of Sohu’s next quarterly earnings announcement; however, Sohu reserves right to update its Business Outlook at any time for any reason. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Sohu’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. 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 current global financial and credit markets crisis and its potential impact on the Chinese economy, the slower growth the Chinese economy experienced during the latter half of 2008 and in 2009, which could recur in the future, the uncertain regulatory landscape in the People’s Republic of China, fluctuations in Sohu’s quarterly operating results, EPS dilution resulting from Changyou’s initial public offering, Sohu’s historical and possible future losses, and its reliance on online advertising sales, online games and wireless services (most wireless revenues are collected from a few mobile network operators) 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, 2009, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
