BEIJING, Feb. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Changyou.com Limited ("Changyou" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CYOU), a leading online game developer and operator in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
Fourth Quarter 2015 Highlights
Fiscal Year 2015 Highlights
Mr. Dewen Chen, Co-CEO, commented, "2015 has been a year of re-focus for Changyou. We rationalized our operations, drove up efficiencies and realigned our R&D efforts, which yielded a 2015 record revenue of US$762 million and a non-GAAP net income of US$228 million. The strategy we set forward is 'Big IP, Top Games and Mass Marketing', meaning we will only bring to market the top-level games that meet all of our new testing criteria and we will support these top-level games with our best IP and marketing resources to ensure their success.
"TLBB is indisputably amongst a handful of most successful and largest MMO games in China. We have seen clear examples of successful MMO PC game achieving an overwhelming success when re-launched in a mobile format. Based on the enormous user base and our best R&D resources coming from the original PC game development team, we are optimistic our re-creation of TLBB on mobile will achieve a similar level of success" added Mr. Qing Wei, Chief Games Development Officer.
Ms. Jasmine Zhou, CFO of Changyou added, "While the new policy and higher testing standards have led to further cost savings and improved efficiencies in the fourth quarter, it has also set the bar high for new games in pipeline, putting pressure on our short-term revenue over the next two to three quarters. Nevertheless, we believe that focusing on the best is the only way to make a "hit game" possible."

Fourth Quarter 2015 Unaudited Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues were US$162 million, representing a decrease of 25% year-over-year and 14% quarter-over-quarter.
Online game revenues were US$127 million, representing a decrease of 31% year-over-year and 17% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly due to the natural decline in revenues of older games, such as TLBB 3D and TLBB, and a decrease in Web game revenue upon the completion of the sale of the 7Road business during the last quarter.
Online advertising revenues were US$15 million, representing a decrease of both 19% year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly due to fewer PC games launched in China as a result of the general weakness in PC games market during this quarter.
Internet value-added services ("IVAS") revenues increased 4% year-over-year and 26% quarter-over-quarter to US$7 million. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were a result of higher revenues from PC and mobile products in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Other revenues, which consist of cinema advertising revenues, almost doubled year-over-year and increased 5% quarter-over-quarter to US$13 million. The year-over-year increase reflected the strong growth of China's movie and cinema industry in general, and improvements made to the Company's advertising sales function. The quarter-over-quarter increase was due to popular movies having been launched in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Gross profit
GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit were both US$119 million, representing a decrease of 19% year-over-year and 15% quarter-over-quarter. Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins were 74%, compared with 74% in the third quarter of 2015 and 68% in the fourth quarter of 2014.
GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of the online games business were both US$99 million, representing a decrease of 26% year-over-year and 16% quarter-over-quarter. Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of the online games business were 78%, compared with 77% in the third quarter of 2015 and 72% in the fourth quarter of 2014. The year-over-year increase in gross margins was due to a smaller revenue contribution from mobile games that typically require revenue-sharing payments to others, which drive down gross margin.
Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of the online advertising business were US$12 million, representing a decrease of 17% year-over-year and 20% quarter-over-quarter. Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of the online advertising business were 84%, compared with 86% in the third quarter of 2015, and 82% in the fourth quarter of 2014. The year-over-year increase in gross margins was due to a reduction in personnel-related costs. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in gross margins was due to a decrease in online advertising revenues.
Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit for the IVAS business were US$3 million, compared with US$1 million in the third quarter of 2015 and a gross loss of US$1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of the other business were US$5 million, compared with US$5 million in the third quarter of 2015 and US$0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The year-over-year increase reflected improvements made to the Company's advertising sales function.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses were US$79 million, representing a decrease of 47% year-over-year and 32% quarter-over-quarter.
Product development expenses were US$44 million, representing an increase of 95% year-over-year and 11% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to lower salary and benefits expense in the fourth quarter of 2014 which included a US$28 million reversal of accruals associated with an employee incentive plan in that quarter. The reversal was primarily due to lowered estimates based on management's most recent assessment of the estimated compensation liabilities for three employee incentive plans. These three employment incentive plans were cancelled in early 2015, and therefore no such accrual has been made since then. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to an increase in the market price for the Company's ADSs, which triggered an increase in share-based compensation.
Sales and marketing expenses were US$15 million, representing a decrease of 60% year-over-year and 29% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a significant reduction in marketing and promotional spending for mobile internet products since the fourth quarter of 2014. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to a reduction in salary and benefits as a result of a reduction in bonus expense as well as a reduced headcount in the fourth quarter of 2015.
General and administrative expenses were US$20 million, representing a decrease of 45% year-over-year and an increase of 35% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a reduction in salary and benefits as a result of a reduction in the workforce. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to an increase in the market price for the Company's ADSs, which triggered an increase in share-based compensation.
Operating profit (loss)
Operating profit was US$40 million, compared with US$24 million in the third quarter of 2015 and an operating loss of US$2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Non-GAAP operating profit was US$48 million, compared with US$20 million in the third quarter of 2015 and US$1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Included in the third quarter of 2015 was a one-off impairment charge of US$40 million that was mainly related to the Dolphin Browser. Included in the fourth quarter of 2014 was a one-off impairment charge of US$52 million that was mainly related to the RaidCall Business.
Other Income
Other income was US$1 million, compared with US$59 million in the third quarter of 2015 and US$3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was due to one-off income related to gain recognized upon the divestment of 7Road and certain overseas assets during the third quarter of 2015.
Income tax expense
The Company's main operating entity in China is a "High and New Technology Enterprise," and as a result, the entity is entitled to a preferential corporate income tax rate of 15% for the 2015 and 2016 tax years.

Non-controlling interests include the non-controlling interests in RaidCall, which provides online music and entertainment services primarily in Taiwan, and in MoboTap Inc., the developer of the Dolphin Browser. The year-over-year improvement was mainly due to the impairment charge related to RaidCall that was recognized during the fourth quarter of 2014. The quarter-over-quarter improvement was mainly due to the impairment charge related to the Dolphin Browser that was recognized during the third quarter of 2015.
Net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited

Fiscal Year 2015 Unaudited Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues in 2015 were US$762 million, compared with US$755 million in 2014.
Online game revenues were US$637 million, down 2% from US$652 million in 2014. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the natural decline in revenues of older games, such as TLBB, and a decrease in Web game revenue upon the completion of the sale of the 7Road business during the third quarter of 2015. These were mostly offset by the launch of new mobile games, such as TLBB 3D, which was launched during the fourth quarter of 2014.
Online advertising revenues were US$58 million, compared with US$59 million in 2014.
IVAS revenues increased 9% year-over-year to US$24 million. The increase was a result of higher revenues from PC and mobile products.
Other revenues, which consist of cinema advertising revenues, almost doubled year-over-year to US$43 million. The year-over-year increase reflected the strong growth of China's movie and cinema industry in general, and improvements made to the Company's advertising sales function.
Gross profit
Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit were US$545 million, flat with US$553 million and US$554 million respectively in 2014. Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin were 72%, compared with 73% in 2014.
Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of the online games business were US$481 million, down 6% from 2014. Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of the online games business were 75%, compared with 78% in 2014. The decrease in gross margins was due to a change in the revenue mix as the Company launched new mobile games that typically require revenue-sharing payments to others, which drive down gross margin.
Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of the online advertising business increased to US$46 million, up 5% from 2014. Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of the online advertising business were 80%, compared with 75% in 2014. The year-over-year increase in gross margins was due to a reduction in personnel-related costs.
Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of IVAS were US$5 million, compared with a gross loss of US$1 million in 2014.
Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of the other business were US$13 million, compared with US$0.4 million in 2014. The year-over-year increase reflected the strong growth of China's movie and cinema industry in general and improvements made to the Company's advertising sales function.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses were US$384 million, down 36% from 2014.
Product development expenses were US$171 million, down 12% from 2014. The decrease was due to a decrease in salary and benefit expenses in 2015 as a result of a reduction in the workforce.
Sales and marketing expenses were US$92 million, down 62% from 2014. The decrease was due to a significant reduction in marketing and promotional spending for mobile internet products in 2015.
General and administrative expenses were US$80 million, down 25% from 2014. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in salary and benefit expenses in 2015 as a result of reduction in workforce.
Goodwill impairment and impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses was US$40 million, compared with US$52 million in 2014. The impairments in 2015 were mainly related to the Dolphin Browser business, which was acquired in 2014. Due to a change in the Company's strategic direction for some of its mobile internet products beginning in the third quarter of 2015, the Company determined that expected synergies between its mobile internet products and the Dolphin Browser were not likely to materialize, and that impairment charges were required to reflect the fair value of the Dolphin Browser. The impairments in 2014 were largely related to the business associated with RaidCall, which was acquired in 2013 with the intention of offering to online users a broader range of services, including real-time audio group communication. Upon review of post-integration results, the Company determined that RaidCall's audio communication technology was not a good fit for Changyou's online games, and that impairment charges were required to reflect the fair value of Raidcall.
Operating profit (loss)
Operating profit was US$161 million, compared with an operating loss of US$42 million in 2014.
Non-GAAP operating profit was US$176 million, compared with an operating loss of US$38 million in 2014. The year-over-year improvement was due to a reduction in marketing and promotional spending for mobile internet products, reduced headcount, as well as an overall increase in operating efficiencies.
Other Income
Other income was US$65 million, compared with US$4 million in 2014. The year-over-year increase was due to one-off income related to a gain that was recognized upon the divestment of 7Road and certain overseas assets in 2015.
Income tax expense
The Company's main operating entity in China is a "High and New Technology Enterprise," and as a result, the entity is entitled to a preferential corporate income tax rate of 15% for the 2015 and 2016 tax years.
Income tax expense was US$54 million in 2015, compared with US$2 million in 2014.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
Revision of Non-GAAP Reporting
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2014 , the Company's non-GAAP results excluded share-based compensation expenses, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards, and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company reassessed its definition of non-GAAP to better reflect the economic substance and performance of the Company. With the consideration that goodwill impairment and impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses can be an indicator of the economic substance of the acquired businesses, Changyou revised its definition of non-GAAP to exclude only compensation expense associated with share-based awards, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from adjustments of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions.
The Company's results for the fourth quarter of 2015 and fiscal year 2015 are presented using this revised definition of non-GAAP.
Revised Non-GAAP Disclosure
To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), Changyou's management uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating profit, net income, net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited and diluted net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the compensation cost of share-based awards granted, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions. 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 share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for itself and investors. Further, the amount of share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions 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, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions does not involve 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, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions.
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 gross profit, operating profit, net income, net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited and diluted net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited per ADS, excluding share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions, 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, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions may recur in the 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 derived from Changyou's unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
