Third Quarter Financial Results

Total revenues were US$216 million , up 37% year-over-year and 6% quarter-over-quarter.
Brand advertising revenues totaled US$34 million , down 18% year-over-year and 8% quarter-over-quarter. The decrease was mainly due to decreases in portal advertising revenues.
Online game revenues were US$167 million , up 65% year-over-year and 10% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly contributed by TLBB Vintage, which was launched during the fourth quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly from Little Raccoon: Heroes, which was launched during the third quarter of 2021.
Gross Margin
Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin was 74%, compared with 66% in the third quarter of 2020 and 76% in the second quarter of 2021.

Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin for online games was 83%, compared with 80% in the third quarter of 2020 and 89% in the second quarter of 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in gross margin was mainly due to a higher percentage revenue contribution from mobile games, which typically require higher revenue-sharing payments.

For the third quarter of 2021, GAAP operating expenses totaled US$135 million , up 17% year-over-year and 3% quarter-over-quarter. Non-GAAP operating expenses were US$132 million , up 20% year-over-year and 4% quarter-over-quarter.

Recent Development
Sohu today announced that on November 13, 2021 , its board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to US$100 million of the outstanding American depositary shares ("ADSs") of Sohu over the next twelve months. The ADSs may be purchased from time to time at Sohu's management's discretion at prevailing market prices in accordance with Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Sohu's management will determine the timing and amount of any purchases of ADSs based on their evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of ADSs and other factors. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Sohu plans to fund repurchases from its existing cash balance.
Business Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2021, Sohu estimates:
- Brand advertising revenues to be between US$28 million and US$31 million ; this implies an annual decrease of 26% to 33% and a sequential decrease of 8% to 17%.
- Online game revenues to be between US$140 million and US$150 million ; this implies an annual decrease of 23% to 29% and a sequential decrease of 10% to 16%.
- Non-GAAP net loss attributable to Sohu.com Limited to be between nil and US$10 million ; and GAAP net loss attributable to Sohu.com Limited to be between US$3 million US$13 million .
For the fourth quarter 2021 guidance, the Company has adopted a presumed exchange rate of RMB6.40 = US$1.00 , as compared with the actual exchange rate of approximately RMB6.63 = US$1.00 for the fourth quarter of 2020, and RMB6.47 = US$1 .00 for the third 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.
