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 Operations Measures to the Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures".

Mr. Dewen Chen, CEO, commented, "During the quarter, TLBB PC performed better than our expectations, which demonstrates that players are happy with the current in-game environment and the long-term outlook for the game. Legacy TLBB Mobile also showed its resilience and did better than we expected due to new content and other improvements that we made to the game. In 2019, we will continue to manage player engagement through our long-term oriented operational strategies. With our tireless efforts to improve game quality, we believe we are well prepared to roll out exciting new games in the future."

Mr. Qing Wei, Chief Games Development Officer, added, "During the quarter, Legacy TLBB Mobile's revenue remained relatively stable, mainly due to the various in-game holiday events and promotions that we launched. We also reduced the number of daily quests so that players did not have to commit as much time to repetitive tasks. For the second quarter of 2019, we will launch an expansion pack for Legacy TLBB Mobile's 2-year anniversary with a new clan and various celebratory events to further promote player engagement."

Mr. Yaobin Wang, CFO of Changyou, added, "We got off to a good start in 2019 thanks to the solid performance of our online games. For the first quarter of 2019, both our total revenue and net income came in ahead of our expectations. Given our ongoing profitability and strong operating cash flow, we will continue to invest in the development of high-end games as we look to enhance our leading position in the industry."

First Quarter 2019 Operational Results

  • Total average monthly active accounts[4] of the Company's PC games were 1.9 million, a decrease of 24% year-over-year and 5% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases reflected the natural declining life cycles of the Company's older games, including TLBB PC.
  • Total average monthly active accounts of the Company's mobile games were 2.7 million, flat year-over-year and a decrease of 7% quarter-over-quarter. The quarter-over-quarter decrease reflected the natural declining life cycles of the Company's older games, including Legacy TLBB Mobile.
  • Total quarterly aggregate active paying accounts[5] of the Company's PC games were 0.9 million, an increase of 13% year-over-year and flat quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly driven by the greater willingness of TLBB PC players to pay as the Company launched some anticipated in-game promotional events in the first quarter of 2019.
  • Total quarterly aggregate active paying accounts of the Company's mobile games were 0.6 million, a decrease of 25% year-over-year and 14% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases reflected the natural declining life cycles of the Company's older games.

[4] Monthly Active Accounts refers to the number of registered accounts that are logged in to these games at least once during the month.


[5] Quarterly Aggregate Active Paying Accounts refers to the number of accounts from which game points are utilized at least once during the quarter.

First Quarter 2019 Unaudited Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was US$123 million, a decrease of 10% year-over-year and an increase of 5% quarter-over-quarter.

Online game revenue was US$99 million, a decrease of 6% year-over-year and an increase of 5% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decrease was due to the natural decline in revenue of the Company's older games, including Legacy TLBB Mobile. The quarter-over-quarter increase was largely due to better-than-expected performance of TLBB PC as a result of in-game promotional events that were launched around the Chinese Spring Festival in the first quarter of 2019.

Online advertising revenue was US$3 million, a decrease of 33% year-over-year and 19% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly due to fewer games being marketed on the 17173.com Website.

Cinema advertising revenue was US$20 million, a decrease of 19% year-over-year and an increase of 12% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decrease reflected the impact of a strategy adjustment in the second quarter of 2018 related to the acquisition and sale of advertising resources. The quarter-over-quarter increase was a result of a recovery in revenue following the strategy adjustment, as well as the release of several popular movies in the first quarter of 2019.

Internet value-added services ("IVAS") revenue was US$1 million, a decrease of 58% year-over-year and 51% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly because the RaidCall business was wound down in the first quarter of 2019.

Gross profit/ (loss)

GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit were both US$88 million, a decrease of 7% year-over-year and an increase of 14% quarter-over-quarter. GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin were both 71%, compared with 69% in the first quarter of 2018, and 66% in the fourth quarter of 2018.

GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of the online games business were both US$85 million, a decrease of 4% year-over-year and an increase of 6% quarter-over-quarter. GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of the online games business were both 86%, compared with 84% in the first quarter of 2018 and 85% in the fourth quarter of 2018.

GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of the online advertising business were both US$2 million, a decrease of 39% year-over-year and 26% quarter-over-quarter. GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of the online advertising business were both 65%, compared with 71% in the first quarter of 2018 and 70% in the fourth quarter of 2018. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases in gross margin were mainly due to lower online advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2019.

GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of the cinema advertising business were both US$1 million, compared with a gross profit of US$2 million in the first quarter of 2018 and a gross loss of US$6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of the cinema advertising business were both 7%, compared with 9% in the first quarter of 2018 and negative 31% in the fourth quarter of 2018. The quarter-over-quarter increase in gross margin was mainly due to a decrease in cinema advertising costs as the Company partnered with fewer cinemas, as well as an increase in cinema advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2019. In the coming months the Company will look to add a number of additional higher-quality cinema resources.

GAAP and non-GAAP gross loss of the IVAS business were both US$0.3 million, compared with gross profit of US$0.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 and gross profit of US$0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses were US$47 million, a decrease of 18% year-over-year and 32% quarter-over-quarter.

Product development expenses were US$31 million, a decrease of 8% year-over-year and 5% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly due to a decline in salary and benefit expenses as a result of a reduction in bonus expenses that mainly related to Legacy TLBB Mobile.

Sales and marketing expenses were US$11 million, a decrease of 31% year-over-year and 12% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly because of lower marketing and promotional spending for online games in the first quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expenses were US$5 million, a decrease of 33% year-over-year and 35% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decline in salary and benefit expenses as a result of a reduction in bonus expenses and workforce. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to a decline in salary and benefit expenses as a result of a reduction in bonus expenses.

Operating profit

Operating profit was US$41 million, compared with an operating profit of US$37 million in the first quarter of 2018 and an operating profit of US$8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Business Outlook

For the second quarter of 2019, Changyou expects:

  • Non-GAAP net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited to be between US$22 million and US$27 million, and non-GAAP net income per fully-diluted ADS to be between US$0.41 and US$0.50. Gain on share-based compensation to be around US$1 million, assuming no new grants of share-based awards, and considering the impact of the payment of special cash dividend. Taking into account the elimination of the impact of these share-based awards, GAAP net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited to be between US$23 million and US$28 million, and GAAP net income per fully-diluted ADS to be between US$0.43 and US$0.52.

For the second quarter of 2019 guidance, the Company has adopted a presumed exchange rate of RMB6.80 = US$1.00, which compares with the actual exchange rate of approximately RMB6.38 = US$1.00 for the second quarter of 2018, and RMB6.74 = US$1.00 for the first quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), Changyou's management uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating profit, net income, net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited and diluted net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the compensation cost of share-based awards granted, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions. 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.

Changyou's management believes that excluding share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for itself and investors. Further, the amount of share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions cannot be anticipated by management, and these expenses and benefits are not built into the Company's annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which generally will be the basis for information Changyou provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance. As share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions do not involve subsequent cash outflow, Changyou does not factor these in when evaluating and approving expenditures or when determining the allocation of its resources to its business operations. As a result, in general, the monthly financial results for internal reporting and any performance measure for commissions and bonuses are based on non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions.

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of Changyou'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 Changyou.com Limited and diluted net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited per ADS, excluding share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions, is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in the Company's business for the foreseeable future, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions may recur in the future. In order to mitigate these limitations, the Company has provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables include details on the reconciliation of GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has presented.

Notes to Financial Information

Financial information in this press release other than the information indicated as being non-GAAP is derived from Changyou's unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
