DDTank, the flagship game of our new subsidiary 7Road, continues to be one of the top-ranked Web-based games on game portals and social networking sites in China. During the year, we completed a strategic review and implemented a number of changes reflecting the diversity of our business going forward, with separate teams and roadmaps for MMO games, Web-based games, mobile and social games, user platforms, and the international market.

Basis of Presentation for Unaudited Financial Results
On December 15, 2011, Changyou completed the acquisition from Sohu of the 17173 Business. As Changyou and the 17173 Business were under common control by Sohu both before and after the acquisition, in accordance with ASC 805-50, Changyou’s unaudited consolidated financial information reported in this press release, unless otherwise stated, has been prepared as if the 17173 Business had been owned and operated by Changyou throughout the periods presented. Tables showing Changyou’s unaudited financial information before the inclusion of the results of operations of the 17173 Business in Changyou’s unaudited consolidated financial statements are provided for investors’ reference in the accompanying “Supplementary Notes – Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations” and “Supplementary Notes – Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results of Operation Measures to the Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures.”
To enhance investors’ overall understanding of Changyou’s current financial performance and prospects for the future and consistent with the approach taken by other leading technology companies, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company revised its non-GAAP reporting methodology to exclude goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions, in addition to its historical practice of excluding share-based compensation expense from non-GAAP results. Like share-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions, cannot be anticipated by management, and these expenses 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. 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, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions.

Excluding revenues from the 17173 Business, total revenues increased 5% quarter-over-quarter and 37% year-over-year to US$125.2 million and exceeded the high end of the Company’s guidance by US$0.2 million.
Online game revenues, which include revenues from Changyou’s game operations and overseas licensing revenues and revenues from 7Road, increased 6% quarter-over-quarter and 34% year-over-year to US$123.3 million. The increases were mainly due to the growth and ongoing popularity of TLBB in China.
Online advertising revenues, which consist of revenues from the 17173 Business, increased 28% quarter-over-quarter and 65% year-over-year to US$12.4 million. The increases were mainly due to higher advertising spending by advertisers to promote the upcoming launch of new games in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Other revenues, which consist of cinema advertising revenues, were US$2.0 million, down 38% quarter-over-quarter. The decrease was mainly due to the Company streamlining its operations of the cinema advertising business in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Gross profit
Gross profit and non-GAAP gross profit increased 6% quarter-over-quarter and 30% year-over-year to US$116.7 million. Both gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin were 85%, which was the same as for the third quarter of 2011, compared with 90% in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Both gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin of the online games business were 87%, which was the same as for the third quarter of 2011, compared with 90% in the fourth quarter of 2010. The year-over-year decline in gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin of the online game business were mainly due to higher bandwidth costs incurred for new games and the hiring of game operation staff in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Gross profit of the online advertising business increased 31% quarter-over-quarter and 71% year-over-year to US$11.3 million.

The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases in gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin of the online advertising business were mainly due to an increase in online advertising revenues in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Gross loss and non-GAAP gross loss of other business were US$1.6 million compared with US$0.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. The increases in gross loss and non-GAAP gross loss of other business were mainly due to lower cinema advertising revenues in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses increased 15% quarter-over-quarter and 57% year-over-year to US$43.7 million, which included US$5.4 million of goodwill impairment and impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses.

Product development expenses were US$16.0 million, an increase of 27% quarter-over-quarter and 18% year-over-year. The quarter-over-quarter increase in product development expenses was mainly due to the hiring of game engineers and increased expenses related to royalties for licensed games in the fourth quarter of 2011. The year-over-year increase in product development expenses was mainly due to the hiring of game engineers and a full quarter of product development expenses from 7Road, offset by lower expenses related to royalties for licensed games in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Sales and marketing expenses were US$12.5 million, a decrease of 29% quarter-over-quarter and an increase of 35% year-over-year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in sales and marketing expenses was largely a result of a reduction in advertising spending for DMD in the fourth quarter of 2011 after the game’s launch in the third quarter. The year-over-year increase in sales and marketing expenses was mainly due to an increase in headcount and higher advertising spending for the promotion of our games in the fourth quarter of 2011.
General and administrative expenses were US$9.9 million, an increase of 29% quarter-over-quarter and 95% year-over-year.

Changyou completes acquisition of the 17173 Business
On December 15, 2011, Changyou completed the acquisition from Sohu of the 17173 Business for fixed cash consideration of US$162.5 million.
Business Outlook
For the first quarter of 2012, Changyou expects:
Total revenues to be between US$130.0 million and US$134.0 million, including online game revenues of US$121.0 million to US$124.0 million and online advertising revenues of US$7.0 million to US$8.0 million.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited to be between US$58.0 million and US$60.0 million.
Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per ADS attributable to Changyou.com Limited to be between US$1.08 and US$1.12.
Assuming no new grants of share-based awards, share-based compensation expense to be between US$1.0 million and US$1.5 million, reducing fully diluted earnings per ADS attributable to Changyou.com Limited by US$0.02 to US$0.03.
Non-GAAP Disclosure
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company revised its non-GAAP reporting methodology to exclude goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions, in addition to its historical practice of excluding share-based compensation expense from non-GAAP results.
To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), Changyou’s management uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating profit, 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, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal 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 the share-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal 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, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions cannot be anticipated by management, and these expenses 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, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions does not involve subsequent cash outflow, Changyou does not factor this 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, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal 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 attributable to Changyou.com Limited and diluted net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited per ADS, excluding share-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal 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, goodwill impairment, impairment of intangibles via acquisitions of businesses and the related tax impact, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income from the reversal 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 between 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.
Mezzanine Equity consists of non-controlling interests in 7Road and a put option that gives the non-controlling shareholders the right to put their shares to Changyou at a pre-determined price if 7Road achieves specified performance milestones before the expiry of the put option and certain other circumstances occur. The put option will expire in 2014. Non-controlling interests of 7Road and the put option are classified as mezzanine equity in Changyou’s consolidated balance sheets, as redemption of the non-controlling interests is not solely within the control of Changyou.
In accordance with ASC subtopic 480-10, Changyou accretes the balance of non-controlling interests to its redemption value over the period from the date of 7Road acquisition to the earliest exercise date of the put right. Any subsequent changes in the redemption value are considered to be changes in accounting estimates and are also recognized over the same period as net income attributable to mezzanine classified non-controlling interests.
Safe Harbor Statement
It is currently expected that the Business Outlook will not be updated until the release of Changyou’s next quarterly earnings announcement; however, Changyou reserves the right to update its Business Outlook at any time for any reason.
This announcement contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the continuing global financial and credit markets crisis and its potential impact on the Chinese economy, the uncertain regulatory landscape in the People’s Republic of China, fluctuations in Changyou’s quarterly operating results, Changyou’s historical and possible future losses and limited operating history, and the Company’s reliance on Tian Long Ba Bu as its major revenue source. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Changyou’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on February 28, 2011, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
