Third Quarter 2025 Operating Results

•

For PC games, total average monthly active user accounts³ (MAU) were 2.7 million, an increase of 24% year-over-year and 15% quarter-over-quarter. Total quarterly aggregate active paying accounts⁴ (APA) were 1.1 million, an increase of 27% year-over-year and 19% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increases in MAU and APA were mainly from TLBB: Return, which was launched in July 2025, as well as the improved performance of TLBB PC, resulting from content updates and optimization launched during recent quarters. The quarter-over-quarter increases in MAU and APA were mainly from TLBB: Return.

•

For mobile games, total average MAU were 1.9 million, a decrease of 42% year-over-year and 4% quarter-over-quarter. Total quarterly APA were 0.3 million, a decrease of 72% year-over-year and 3% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decreases in MAU and APA were mainly due to the natural decline of New Westward Journey, which was launched during the second quarter of 2024.

Third Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenues were US$163 million, an increase of 27% year-over-year and 53% quarter-over-quarter. Online game revenues were US$162 million, an increase of 27% year-over-year and 53% quarter-over-quarter.

Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit were US$141 million, compared with US$108 million for the third quarter of 2024 and US$92 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Both GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses were US$54 million, an increase of 19% year-over-year and 31% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to an increase in marketing and promotional spending for our online games, as well as an increase in salary and benefits expenses.

²	“Changyou Results” consist of the results of Changyou’s online games business and its 17173.com Website.

³	Monthly active user accounts refers to the number of registered accounts that are logged in to these games at least once during the month.

⁴	Quarterly aggregate active paying accounts refers to the number of accounts from which game points are utilized at least once during the quarter.

Non-GAAP operating profit was US$88 million, compared with US$62 million for the third quarter of 2024 and US$51 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Recent Development

Under the previously-announced share repurchase program of up to US$150 million of the outstanding ADSs, Sohu had repurchased 7.6 million ADSs for an aggregate cost of approximately US$97 million as of November 13, 2025.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2025, Sohu estimates:

•

Marketing services revenues to be between US$15 million and US$16 million; this implies an annual decrease of 15% to 20%, and a sequential increase of 10% to 18%.

•

Online game revenues to be between US$113 million and US$123 million; this implies an annual increase of 3% to 12%, and a sequential decrease of 24% to 30%.

•

Both non-GAAP and GAAP net loss attributable to Sohu.com Limited to be between US$25 million and US$35 million.

For the fourth quarter 2025 guidance, the Company has adopted a presumed exchange rate of RMB7.10=US$1.00, as compared with the actual exchange rate of approximately RMB7.15=US$1.00 for the fourth quarter of 2024, and RMB7.13=US$1.00 for the third 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 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 and interest expense recognized in connection with the Toll Charge from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures is useful for itself and investors. Further, the impact of share-based compensation expense and interest expense recognized in connection with the Toll Charge 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 does not involve subsequent cash outflow and is not reflected in the cash flows at the equity transaction level, Sohu does not factor in its 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 and 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/(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. 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.

Safe Harbor Statement

Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Sohu’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, and other filings with and information furnished to the SEC.
