Fourth Quarter 2025 Operating Results

  • For PC games, total average monthly active user accounts[3] (MAU) were 2.8 million, an increase of 19% year-over-year and 4% quarter-over-quarter. Total quarterly aggregate active paying accounts[4] (APA) were 1.1 million, an increase of 8% year-over-year and a decrease of 3% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increases in MAU and APA were mainly from Changyou's PC game Tian Long Ba Bu ("TLBB"): Return, which was launched during the third quarter of 2025.

Total quarterly APA were 0.3 million, a decrease of 26% year-over-year and an increase of 1% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decreases in MAU and APA were mainly due to the natural decline of several games launched by Changyou during the year of 2024.

Recent Development

Under the previously-announced share repurchase program of up to US$150 million of the outstanding ADSs, Sohu had repurchased 8.1 million ADSs for an aggregate cost of approximately US$106 million as of February 5, 2026.

Business Outlook

For the first quarter of 2026, Sohu estimates:

  • Marketing services revenues to be between US$10 million and US$11 million; this implies an annual decrease of 20% to 27%, and a sequential decrease of 35% to 41%.
  • Online game revenues to be between US$113 million and US$123 million; this implies an annual decrease of 4% to an annual increase of 5%, and a sequential decrease of 6% to a sequential increase of 2%.
  • Both non-GAAP and GAAP net loss attributable to Sohu.com Limited to be between US$10 million and US$20 million.

For the first quarter 2026 guidance, the Company has adopted a presumed exchange rate of RMB7.02=US$1.00, as compared with the actual exchange rate of approximately RMB7.18=US$1.00 for the first quarter of 2025, and RMB7.08=US$1.00 for the fourth quarter of 2025.

This forecast reflects Sohu's management's current and preliminary view, which is subject to substantial uncertainty.

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/(loss), net income/(loss), net income/(loss) attributable to Sohu.com Limited and diluted net income/(loss) attributable to Sohu.com Limited per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense; changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations with respect to the Company's investments; impairment of goodwill; and the income tax benefit in connection with the Toll Charge and related accrued interest expense. 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 the Company's investments; impairment of goodwill; and the income tax benefit in connection with the Toll Charge and related accrued interest expense from the Company's non-GAAP financial measures is useful for itself and investors. Further, the impact of share-based compensation expense; changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations with respect to the Company's investments; impairment of goodwill; and the income tax benefit in connection with the Toll Charge and related accrued interest expense could not 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 share-based compensation expense, changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations with respect to the Company's investments, and impairment of goodwill do not involve subsequent cash outflow and are not reflected in the cash flows at the equity transaction level, Sohu does not factor in their impact 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 the Company's investments, and impairment of goodwill, and also exclude the income tax benefit in connection with the Toll Charge and related accrued interest 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 gross profit, operating profit/(loss), net income/(loss), net income/(loss) attributable to Sohu.com Limited, and diluted net income/(loss) attributable to Sohu.com Limited per ADS excluding share-based compensation expense is that this expense has been and can be expected to continue to recur in Sohu's business. It is also possible that changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations with respect to the Company's investments and impairments of goodwill will recur in the 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.
