^[2] Non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expenses. See details in the section titled "USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES".

Fourth Quarter 2018 Operating Metrics

The average number of global mobile monthly active users ("Mobile MAUs") was 470 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The number of Mobile MAUs from markets outside of China, or overseas markets, accounted for 72% of the total number of Mobile MAUs in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Mr. Sheng Fu, Cheetah Mobile's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We achieved full year 2018 financial results that were in line with our previous expectations, mostly driven by growths in our mobile games operation, mobile utility products business in the domestic market, and artificial intelligence ("AI") powered business. In 2018, we further expanded our product offerings by launching many new games including Bricks n Balls, a popular casual elimination game, and introducing a number of new utility products focused on delivering personalized experiences. We also made substantial progress in attracting our users to purchase virtual items and premium services within our mobile applications, which diversified our revenue streams. More importantly, we have been leveraging AI technologies and expanding into AI-powered businesses. We have successfully launched AI hardware such as Cheetah Translator and deployed Cheetah GreetBot in many customer locations. Looking ahead, we are confident that our long-term growth prospects remain healthy and that our business will maximize the benefits of our users and advertisers continuously."

Mr. Vincent Jiang, Cheetah Mobile's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "In 2018, we grew our profits and expanded our margins. Our gross profit increased to RMB3.4 billion, and gross margin expanded to 69.1%. Our operating profit increased to RMB467 million and operating margin expanded to 9.4%. In addition, we continued investing in our mobile games business and our mobile utility products business in the domestic market. More importantly, we generated RMB342 million of net cash from operating activities in 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we sold a certain portion of our equity ownership in Bytedance Ltd., which generated a total investment gain of US$87 million and further augmented our balance sheet. As of December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments of approximately US$541 million. Our strong cash generation capabilities and our high cash balance should allow us to continue to invest in our long-term growth and our business expansion into the AI space."

Fourth Quarter 2018 Consolidated Financial Results

REVENUES

Total revenues in the fourth quarter increased by 1.8% year over year and 2.2% quarter over quarter to RMB1,381.2 million (US$200.9 million).

Revenues from utility products and related services decreased by 16.5% year over year and 6.3% quarter over quarter to RMB783.0 million (US$113.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018. The year over year decrease was mainly due to the discontinuation of certain ad formats, i.e., ads on mobile phone lock screens, by the Company's overseas third-party advertising partners. The quarter over quarter decrease was mainly due to disruptions to the Company's business as a result of the negative publicity caused by a news article released in November 2018, about which the Company has made a number of public clarification statements.

Revenues from the mobile entertainment business increased by 39.4% year over year and 11.6% quarter over quarter to RMB555.6 million (US$80.8 million) primarily driven by the growth of the Company's mobile games business in the fourth quarter of 2018. Revenues from the mobile entertainment business contributed to 40.2% of total revenues in the quarter.

Revenues from the mobile games business increased by 91.4% year over year and 14.3% quarter over quarter to RMB326.2 million (US$47.4 million). The increases were mainly due to contributions from Bricks n Balls, a casual elimination game that started ramping up in the middle of July 2018.
Revenues from the content-driven products, namely LiveMe, increased by 0.6% year over year and 7.9% quarter over quarter to RMB229.4 million (US$33.4 million), primarily driven by growths in both of its paying user count and average revenue per user as LiveMe continued to introduce new features to increase its user stickiness.

Revenues from others increased to RMB42.6 million (US$6.2 million) from RMB20.0 million in the same period last year and RMB18.5 million in the third quarter of 2018, mainly driven by the sales of Cheetah Translator, an AI-based interpretation device. Revenues from others accounted for 3.1% of total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2018.

By region, revenues generated from the China market increased by 3.7% year over year, but decreased by 0.6% quarter over quarter to RMB533.2 million (US$77.6 million), and constituted 38.6% of the Company's total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 37.9% in the same period last year and 39.7% in the third quarter of 2018. The year over year revenue growth in the China market was primarily attributable to the sales of Cheetah Translator.

Revenues generated from the overseas market increased by 0.7% year over year and 4.0% quarter over quarter to RMB848.0 million (US$123.3 million), constituting 61.4% of the Company's total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2018, up from 62.1% in the same period last year and 60.3% in the third quarter of 2018. The revenue growth in the overseas market was primarily driven by the rapid growth of the Company's mobile games business, whose market is mostly overseas.

COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenues decreased by 3.2% year over year and increased by 9.1% quarter over quarter to RMB416.4 million (US$60.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to (i) reduced traffic acquisition costs associated with third-party advertising, and (ii) reduced bandwidth and IDC costs and personnel costs involved in the Company's operation for the News Republic business. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily driven by (i) higher revenue sharing with live broadcasters of the Company's LiveMe business, (ii) higher costs as a result of revenue growth in the Company's hardware business, and (iii) higher costs of payment channels, such as Google Play and Apple's App Store, for the Company's mobile games business, as in-game purchase revenues from the Company's mobile games business grew. Non-GAAP cost of revenues decreased by 3.5% year over year and increased by 9.1% quarter over quarter to RMB416.2 million (US$60.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Gross profit increased by 4.1% year over year and remained relatively flat quarter over quarter at RMB964.8 million (US$140.3 million). Non-GAAP gross profit increased by 4.3% year over year and remained relatively flat quarter over quarter at RMB964.9 million (US$140.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018.

OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

Total operating expenses increased by 26.3% year over year and 5.6% quarter over quarter to RMB889.7 million (US$129.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018. Total non-GAAP operating expenses increased by 22.1% year over year and 4.7% quarter over quarter to RMB854.6 million (US$124.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased by 25.9% year over year and 9.0% quarter over quarter to RMB191.1 million (US$27.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increases were primarily due to increased share-based compensation expenses and increased R&D headcount for the mobile games business. Non-GAAP R&D expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses, increased by 19.4% year over year and 5.5% quarter over quarter to RMB176.0 million (US$25.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Selling and marketing expenses increased by 38.1% year over year but remained relatively flat quarter over quarter at RMB580.3 million (US$84.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increases were mainly due to increased marketing promotions for the Company's utility products and related services business in the domestic market and its mobile games business in all markets. Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses, increased by 36.5% year over year and 2.2% quarter over quarter to RMB577.7 million (US$84.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018.
General and administrative expenses increased by 14.6% year over year and 21.8% quarter over quarter to RMB131.8 million (US$19.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the increased share-based compensation expenses. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to higher employee benefits. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses, increased by 2.2% year over year and 22.0% quarter over quarter to RMB114.6 million (US$16.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Operating profit decreased by 66.2% year over year and 41.3% quarter over quarter to RMB75.1 million (US$10.9 million). The year-over-year decrease in the Company's operating profit was primarily due to the Company's investments in both its mobile utility products business in the domestic market and its mobile games business in all markets. Non-GAAP operating profit decreased by 51.1% year over year and 28.4% quarter over quarter to RMB110.3 million (US$16.0 million).

The Company has reported its operating profit along the following segments since the second quarter of 2017:

Operating profit for utility products and related services decreased by 31.5% year over year and 15.2% quarter over quarter to RMB224.0 million (US$32.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in revenues from this segment and the Company's increased marketing promotions for its utility products and related services business in the domestic market.
Operating loss for the mobile entertainment business was RMB64.8 million (US$9.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to an operating loss of RMB61.8 million in the same period last year and RMB74.1 million in the third quarter of 2018. The wider year-over-year loss was mainly due to higher sales and marketing expenses for the Company's mobile games operation. The reduced quarter-over-quarter loss was mainly a result of reduced expenses from the LiveMe business.

Share-based compensation expenses increased to RMB35.3 million (US$5.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018 from RMB3.4 million in the same period last year and RMB26.3 million in the third quarter of 2018, as the Company granted a certain quantity of restricted shares to key employees.

IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENTS

Impairment of investments were RMB98.9 million (US$14.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily due to a one-time non-cash write-down of some investment assets, which the Company considered as other-than-temporary, to its fair value. This write-down was the result of lower-than-expected performance and financial position of the investment assets.

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other income, net, was RMB789.3 million (US$114.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018, mainly resulting from the disposals of a certain portion of the Company's equity ownership in Bytedance Ltd., whose transaction agreement was entered in the fourth quarter of 2018 and resulted in a disposal gain of investment of US$43.3 million. This transaction also resulted in a fair value gain of US$43.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 for the remaining portion of the equity ownership which the Company still holds, in accordance with ASC 321, adopted on January 1, 2018.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO CHEETAH MOBILE SHAREHOLDERS

Revenues from utility products and related services decreased by 6.7% year over year to RMB3,119.5 million (US$453.7 million) in 2018.

This decrease was largely offset by an increase in revenues from the mobile utility products and related services business in China.

Revenues from the mobile game business increased by 48.5% year over year to RMB925.0 million (US$134.5 million). The increases were mainly due to the contribution from Bricks n Balls, a casual elimination game that started ramping up in the middle of July 2018.

By region, revenues generated from the China market increased by 27.5% year over year to RMB 1,971.1 million (US$286.7 million), and constituted 39.6% of the Company's total revenues in 2018, up from 31.7% in 2017. The revenue growth in the China market was primarily attributable to a ramp-up of the mobile utility products and related services in China.

Revenues generated from the overseas market decreased by 9.5% year over year to RMB3,010.6 million (US$437.9 million), constituting 60.4% of the Company's total revenues in 2018, down from 68.3% in 2017.

COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenues decreased by 8.3% year over year to RMB1,540.6 million (US$224.1 million) in 2018, primarily due to (i) reduced traffic acquisition costs associated with the Company's third-party advertising business, (ii) reduced bandwidth and IDC costs associated with the Company's mobile utility applications in the overseas markets, (iii) reduced personnel costs involved in the Company's PC business, and (iv) lower amortization of intangible assets in 2018 as the Company had disposed News Republic and completed the amortization of MobPartner, which was acquired in April 2015.

Research and development expenses decreased by 2.3% year over year to RMB668.9 million (US$97.3 million) in 2018, mainly due to lower share-based compensation expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by 15.3% year over year at RMB1,910.0 million (US$277.8 million) in 2018, which was primarily due to increased promotional activities for the Company's utility products and related services business in the domestic market and its mobile games business in all markets.

Operating profit for utility products and related services increased by 5.7% year over year to RMB1,035.0 million (US$150.5 million) in 2018. The increase was a result of the Company's strategy to optimize the cost and expense structure of the mobile utility products and related services business in the overseas markets, as well as revenue increase from the Company's mobile utility products and related services business in the domestic market.
Operating loss for the mobile entertainment business decreased to RMB312.5 (US$45.5 million) in 2018 from RMB417.4 million in 2017. The reduced loss was mainly a result of the year-over-year increases in revenues generated from the Company's mobile games business and reduced costs and expenses from News Republic business, which were partially offset by the Company's increased investments in the LiveMe operations.

Share-based compensation expenses increased by 16.1% year over year to RMB85.1 million (US$12.4 million) in 2018, as the Company granted a certain quantity of restricted shares to key employees.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement Cheetah Mobile's consolidated financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Cheetah Mobile uses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

Non-GAAP cost of revenues reflects cost of revenues excluding the portion of share-based compensation expenses allocated to cost of revenues.
Non-GAAP gross profit reflects gross profit excluding the portion of share-based compensation expenses allocated to gross profit.
Non-GAAP operating income and expenses reflect operating income and expenses excluding the portion of share-based compensation expenses allocated to operating expenses.
Non-GAAP operating profit reflects operating profit excluding share-based compensation expenses.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders is net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS is non-GAAP net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders excluding net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests, divided by weighted average number of diluted ADSs.
Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-operating income and share-based compensation expenses.
Free cash flow is net cash generated by operating activities less capital expenditure.

The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of share-based compensation expenses and the use of Adjusted EBITDA add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance from the cash perspective. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of share-based compensation expenses, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" and "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Cheetah Mobile Shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)" at the end of this release.

(a) On January 1, 2018, The Group adopted ASC 606, applying the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.
Adoption did not have a material impact as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606,
while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under ASC 605.
As ASC 605 has been superseded by ASC 606 on this subject, value added tax was reclassified from the cost of revenues to net against revenues.
Advertising-for-advertising barter transactions should be recorded at the fair value of the advertising received by reference to the fair value of advertising services
provided to other customers. Revenues are recognized in the same amount with costs and expenses. Previously, such transactions were recorded at cost which
was nil as no consideration was exchanged. The following table illustrates the effect of the adoption of ASC 606 by presenting a comparison of revenues for
the three months ended December 31, 2018, as actually reported and as they would have been reported under ASC 605, without the adoption of ASC 606:
