We are even more pleased to report that we exceeded our raised guidance in each of our revenue categories and earnings for the fourth quarter announced in early December. Sohu's technological innovation and leadership as well as our strategic vision and execution continue to be the catalysts that propel us forward. With the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games kicking off in 185 days, the Sohu brand resonates across China as we broaden our media reach to penetrate the Olympic audience. We expect the continued expansion of the total Chinese internet population, combined with our advancements in technology and our Olympic sponsorship, to help us to increase our market share of internet users. We believe that we will continue to reap the rewards of our success and strong branding for 2008 and beyond."
Ms. Belinda Wang, Co-President and Chief Marketing Officer of Sohu.com, said, "We are excited about the trends driving strong momentum in the Chinese online advertising market. For fiscal 2007, Olympic partners, sponsors and suppliers increased advertising spending with Sohu by 74% year-on-year. Looking ahead for 2008, we believe the growth of our brand advertising business will continue to be robust."
Dr. Gong Yu, Chief Operating Officer of Sohu.com, added, "We have never performed better on an operating level and there is still a lot of leverage in the existing infrastructure and technology. This is particularly important as Sohu continues to leverage its opportunities surrounding the Olympics and further our role as being the leading internet portal in China."
Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Total revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 were US$65.3 million, compared to revenues of US$51.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, and US$34.4 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006.
Gross margin of 71% for the fourth quarter of 2007 increased from 67% in the previous quarter and 63% in the same period of 2006. Non-GAAP gross margin was 72% in the fourth quarter of 2007, up from 67% in the previous quarter and 64% in the same period of 2006. The gross margin expansion was primarily due to the contribution from TLBB.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was US$15.1 million or US$0.39 per fully diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for fourth quarter of 2007 was US$17.0 million or US$0.43 per fully diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of US$11.7 million or US$0.30 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2007 and US$8.1 million or US$0.21 per fully diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2006.
Advertising revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 totaled US$33.7 million, a 7% quarter-on-quarter increase and a 35% year-on-year increase.

Advertising gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2007 was 63%, flat with the previous quarter and down from 65% in the fourth quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP advertising gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2007 was 64%, flat with the previous quarter and down from 66% in the fourth quarter of 2006. The year-on-year decrease was mainly due to increased headcounts and bonuses, increased content costs, bandwidth and server depreciation expenses.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, Sohu's non-advertising revenues, which are derived mainly from online game and wireless value-added services, were US$31.6 million, representing 48% of total revenues.

Non-GAAP non-advertising gross margin was 79%, compared to 72% in the previous quarter and 57% in fourth quarter of 2006. Those increases were due to the contribution from TLBB.

Non-GAAP operating expenses totaled US$30.0 million, an increase of 25% from the previous quarter and up 111% year-on-year.

Fiscal Year 2007 Financial Results
Total revenues for fiscal year 2007 were US$188.9 million, a 41% increase over fiscal year 2006 revenues of US$134.2 million. Gross margin was 66% in fiscal 2007, increased from 64% in fiscal 2006. Non-GAAP gross margin was 67% in fiscal 2007, increased from 65% in fiscal 2006.

Advertising revenues consisted of US$112.1 million in brand advertising and US$7.1 million in sponsored search. Brand advertising revenues grew 42% year-on-year, attributable to China's robust online advertising market and stronger market momentum as the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games draw near. Sponsored search revenues decreased 44% year-on-year mainly due to strengthening of our anti-fraudulent click policy starting mid 2006.
In fiscal 2007, Sohu's non-advertising revenues totaled US$69.7 million, up 64% from US$42.5 million in fiscal 2006.

Ms. Carol Yu, Co-President and CFO of Sohu.com, commented, "Sohu's outstanding results for the fourth quarter and full year 2007 were driven by our technological capabilities to lead this market and create visionary products that shape the way internet users interface with Chinese web portals. When you combine this with our strong fiscal discipline we see those strategies paying off faster than we anticipated. We believe this multi-pronged approach will continue to further solidify our success."
Business Outlook
Sohu estimates total revenues for the first quarter 2008 to be between US$66.5 million to US$68.5 million, with advertising revenues of US$33.5 million to US$34.5 million and non-advertising revenues of US$33 million to US$34 million.
Sohu estimates brand advertising revenues for the first quarter of 2008 to be between US$32 million to US$33 million.
Sohu estimates online game revenues for the first quarter of 2008 to be between US$25.5 million to US$26.5 million.
Sohu estimates non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2008 to be between US$0.43 and US$0.45.
Assuming no new grants of share-based awards, Sohu estimates share-based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2008 to be between US$3 million and US$3.5 million. The estimated impact of this expense is expected to reduce Sohu's fully diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2008, under US GAAP, by US$0.08 to US$0.09.
Non-GAAP Disclosure
To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Sohu's management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, net income and net income per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the compensation cost of share-based awards granted to employees under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123R, effective from January 1, 2006. 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 the share-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measure is useful for itself and investors. Further, the amount of share-based compensation expense cannot be anticipated by management and business line leaders and these expenses were not built into the annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which 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 any upfront or subsequent cash outflow, Sohu does not factor this in when evaluating and approving expenditures or when determining the allocation of its resources to its business segments. As a result, the monthly financial results for internal reporting and any performance measure for commission and bonus are based on non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense.
The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the investors' overall understanding of Sohu's current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, net income and net income per share, excluding share-based compensation expenses is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in our business for the foreseeable future. In order to mitigate these limitations we have 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 we have presented.
Notes to Financial Information
Financial information in this press release other than the information indicated as being non-GAAP is extracted from Sohu's unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
On June 20, 2006, Sohu discontinued its own e-commerce platform of physical consumer goods. While processing the disposal of its e-commerce business, Sohu is reporting the related business activities as discontinued operations. Sohu's income statement separates out discontinued operations for both current and prior periods in order to focus on continuing operations and provide a consistent basis for comparing financial performance over time.
In those quarters prior to April 1, 2007, most of costs and expenses for the game department were related to product development and research. Accordingly, Sohu recorded all such costs and expenses in product development expenses in its statements of operations. Beginning April 1, 2007, in order to better present operation results to enhance comparability with industry peers, Sohu reclassified expenses in related to game operations, mainly salary and benefits of game masters, from product development expense to cost of online game revenues. To conform with current period presentations, the relevant amounts for prior periods have been reclassified. Such reclassification amounted to US$296,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006, and amounted to US$1,234,000 for the fiscal year 2006.
Safe Harbor Statement
This announcement contains forward-looking statements. It is currently expected the Business Outlook will not be updated until release of Sohu's next quarterly earnings announcement; however, Sohu reserves right to update its Business Outlook at any time for any reason.

Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Sohu's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
