In view of the previously-announced Share Purchase Agreement between subsidiaries of Tencent Holdings Limited ("Tencent") and the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Sohu.com (Search) Limited ("Sohu Search") with respect to Sohu Search's Sogou Inc. ("Sogou") shares (the "Sogou Share Purchase"), the results of operations for Sogou have been excluded from the Company's results from continuing operations in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and are presented in separate line items as discontinued operations. Retrospective adjustments to the historical statements have been made in order to provide a consistent basis of comparison. Unless indicated otherwise, results presented in this release are related to continuing operations only[1].
Second Quarter Highlights
- Total revenues were US$204 million[2], up 28% year-over-year and down 8% quarter-over-quarter.
- Brand advertising revenues were US$37 million, down 3% year-over-year and up 20% quarter-over-quarter.
- Online game revenues were US$151 million, up 43% year-over-year and down 14% quarter-over-quarter.
- GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to Sohu.com Limited was US$22 million, compared with net income of US$11 million[3] in the second quarter of 2020 and net income of US$32 million in the first quarter of 2021.
- Non-GAAP[4] net income from continuing operations attributable to Sohu.com Limited was US$25 million, compared with net income of US$12 million in the second quarter of 2020 and net income of US$37 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Dr. Charles Zhang, Chairman and CEO of Sohu.com Limited, commented, "For the second quarter of 2021, despite the negative impact of COVID-19, we kept exploring new monetization opportunities while strictly controlling the budget. Thanks to the outperformance of our online game business, our profitability exceeded the prior guidance. For Sohu Media, we focused on innovating our products and technology, and effectively promoting the generation and distribution of high-quality content. For Sohu Video, we continued to execute our "Twin engine" strategy of developing high quality long-form and short-form content, while at the same time refining our advanced live broadcasting technologies and rolling them out to various applications. We were also able to diversify our revenue sources and better capture advertising budgets by integrating our live broadcasting technologies into our unique events. For Changyou, online games performed well during the quarter, and its revenue exceeded the high end of our prior guidance."
[1] The parties currently expect the completion of the transaction will be during the second half of 2021, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to the transaction. |
[2] On a constant currency (non-GAAP) basis, if the exchange rate in the second quarter of 2021 had been the same as it was in the second quarter of 2020, or RMB7.08=US$1.00, US$ total revenues in the second quarter of 2021 would have been US$186 million, or US$18 million less than GAAP total revenues, and up 17% year-over-year. |
[3] Both the GAAP and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to Sohu.com Limited for the second quarter of 2020 mentioned in this release excluded the impact of an additional accrual of withholding income tax of US$88 million recognized by Changyou in that quarter following completion of the Changyou privatization, as Changyou changed its policy for its PRC subsidiaries with respect to distribution of cash dividends. |
[4] Non-GAAP results exclude share-based compensation expense; changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations with respect to equity investments with readily determinable fair values; an impairment charge recognized for an investment unrelated to the Company's core businesses; and interest expense recognized in connection with the one-time transition tax (the "Toll Charge") imposed by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law on December 22, 2017 (the "U.S. TCJA"). Explanation of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures and related reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are included in the accompanying "Non-GAAP Disclosure" and "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results of Operation Measures to the Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures." |
Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues were US$204 million, up 28% year-over-year and down 8% quarter-over-quarter.
Brand advertising revenues totaled US$37 million, down 3% year-over-year and up 20% quarter-over-quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly attributable to a seasonality increase and our continuing efforts to boost our revenues in portal and video advertising.
Online game revenues were US$151 million, up 43% year-over-year and down 14% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly contributed by TLBB Vintage, which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the natural decline of TLBB PC.
Gross Margin
Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin was 76%, compared with 67% in the second quarter of 2020 and 79% in the first quarter of 2021.
GAAP gross margin for the brand advertising business was 27%, compared with 40% in the second quarter of 2020 and 20% in the first quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin for the brand advertising business was 28%, compared with 40% in the second quarter of 2020 and 20% in the first quarter of 2021.The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to increases in costs of events hosted in the second quarter of 2021, which have been resumed to a large extent with the easing of COVID-19. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to increased revenues in the portal and video advertising businesses.
GAAP gross margin for online games was 89%, compared with 77% in the second quarter of 2020 and 89% in the first quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin for online games was 89%, compared with 78% in the second quarter of 2020 and 90% in the first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was mainly due to a higher percentage revenue contribution from PC games, which typically require lower revenue-sharing payments.
Operating Expenses
For the second quarter of 2021, GAAP operating expenses totaled US$130 million, up 23% year-over-year and 5% quarter-over-quarter. Non-GAAP operating expenses were US$127 million, up 25% year-over-year and 4% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increases in marketing expenses and salary and benefits expenses.
Operating Profit
GAAP operating profit was US$25 million, compared with an operating profit of US$1 million in the second quarter of 2020 and an operating profit of US$51 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Non-GAAP operating profit was US$28 million, compared with an operating profit of US$5 million in the second quarter of 2020 and an operating profit of US$53 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Income Tax Expense
GAAP income tax expense was US$11 million, compared with income tax expense of US$86 million in the second quarter of 2020 and income tax expense of US$23 million in the first quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP income tax expense was US$9 million, compared with income tax expense of US$83 million in the second quarter of 2020 and income tax expense of US$23 million in the first quarter of 2021. The income tax expense in the second quarter of 2021 included a one-time tax benefit of US$9 million recognized by Changyou after final settlement of its income tax due for 2020. For the second quarter of 2020, Changyou recognized an additional accrual of withholding income tax of US$88 million, as Changyou changed its policy for its PRC subsidiaries with respect to distribution of cash dividends after the completion of the privatization of Changyou.
Net Income
GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to Sohu.com Limited was US$22 million, or net income of US$0.55 per fully-diluted ADS, compared with net income of US$11 million in the second quarter of 2020 and net income of US$32 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to Sohu.com Limited was US$25 million, or net income of US$0.63 per fully-diluted ADS, compared with net income of US$12 million in the second quarter of 2020 and net income of US$37 million in the first quarter of 2021.

- For PC games, total average monthly active user accounts[5] (MAU) were 2.1 million, an increase of 9% year-over-year and a decrease of 8% quarter-over-quarter.

Online game revenues were US$151 million, an increase of 43% year-over-year and a decrease of 14% quarter-over-quarter.

GAAP operating expenses were US$63 million, an increase of 24% year-over-year and 4% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to an increase in bonus expenses related to revenue growth, as well as an increase in marketing and promotional spending for online games.
Non-GAAP operating expenses were US$61 million, an increase of 28% year-over-year and 4% quarter-over-quarter.
GAAP operating profit was US$73 million, compared with an operating profit of US$33 million for the second quarter of 2020 and US$99 million for the first quarter of 2021.
Non-GAAP operating profit was US$75 million, compared with a non-GAAP operating profit of US$37 million for the second quarter of 2020 and US$101 million for the first quarter of 2021.
Business Outlook
For the third quarter of 2021, Sohu estimates:
- Brand advertising revenues to be between US$35 million and US$39 million; this implies an annual decrease of 5% to 15% and a sequential decrease of 5% to a sequential increase 6%.
- Online game revenues to be between US$145 million and US$155 million; this implies an annual increase of 43% to 53% and a sequential decrease of 4% to a sequential increase 2%.
- Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to Sohu.com Limited to be between nil and US$10 million; and GAAP net income/(loss) from continuing operations attributable to Sohu.com Limited to be between a net loss of US$4 million and a net income of US$6 million.
For the third quarter 2021 guidance, the Company has adopted a presumed exchange rate of RMB6.47=US$1.00, as compared with the actual exchange rate of approximately RMB6.92=US$1.00 for the third quarter of 2020, and RMB6.46=US$1.00 for the second quarter of 2021.
This forecast reflects Sohu's management's current and preliminary view, which is subject to substantial uncertainty, particularly in view of the potential ongoing impact of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, which remains difficult to predict.
Non-GAAP Disclosure
To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), Sohu's management uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating profit, net income, net income attributable to Sohu.com Limited and diluted net income attributable to Sohu.com Limited per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the impact of the share-based awards, which consist mainly of share-based compensation expense; changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations with respect to equity investments with readily determinable fair values; an impairment charge recognized for an investment unrelated to the Company's core businesses; and interest expense recognized in connection with the Toll Charge imposed by the U.S. TCJA. 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 share-based compensation expense, changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations with respect to equity investments with readily determinable fair values; the impairment charge recognized for an investment unrelated to the Company's core businesses; and interest recognized in connection with the Toll Charge from its non-GAAP financial measure is useful for itself and investors. Further, the impact of share-based compensation expense and changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations with respect to equity investments with readily determinable fair values; the impairment charge recognized for an investment unrelated to the Company's core businesses; and interest expense recognized in connection with the Toll Charge cannot be anticipated by management and business line leaders and these expenses were not built into the annual budgets and quarterly forecasts that have been the basis for information Sohu provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance. As the impact of share-based compensation expense, changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations with respect to equity investments with readily determinable fair values, and the impairment charge recognized for an investment unrelated to the Company's core businesses does not involve subsequent cash outflow or is reflected in the cash flows at the equity transaction level, Sohu does not factor this impact in when evaluating and approving expenditures or when determining the allocation of its resources to its business segments. As a result, in general, the monthly financial results for internal reporting and any performance measures for commissions and bonuses are based on non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense, changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations with respect to equity investments with readily determinable fair values, the impairment charge recognized for an investment unrelated to the Company's core businesses, and also excluded the interest expense recognized in connection with the Toll Charge.
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 gross profit, operating profit, net income, net income attributable to Sohu.com Limited and diluted net income attributable to Sohu.com Limited per ADS, excluding share-based compensation expense, is that the impact of share-based awards 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 Sohu has 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 that have been presented.
Notes to Financial Information
Financial information in this press release other than the information indicated as being non-GAAP is derived from Sohu's unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
