(“Shanghai Jingmao”), which operated Changyou’s cinema advertising business, ceased operations and commenced bankruptcy proceedings during the third quarter of 2019. During the third quarter of 2023, Shanghai Jingmao’s bankruptcy proceedings were concluded by a Chinese mainland bankruptcy court, and the Company accordingly recognized a disposal gain within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the second quarter of 2026, as a result of the Company’s receipt of a further distribution of Shanghai Jingmao’s insolvent assets, the Company recognized an additional disposal gain of US$1 million within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Unless indicated otherwise, results presented in this press release are related to continuing operations only and exclude the disposal gain mentioned above.

[2] Non-GAAP results exclude share-based compensation expense. 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 Operation Measures to the Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures.”

Operating Expenses 

Both GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses were US$120 million, down 9% year-over-year and 4% quarter-over-quarter.

Operating Profit/(Loss)

Both GAAP and non-GAAP operating losses were US$18 million, compared with operating profit of US$14 million in the third quarter of 2025 and an operating loss of US$18 million in the second quarter of 2026.

Income Tax Expense/(Benefit)

Both GAAP and non-GAAP income tax expenses were US$4 million, compared with income tax expense of US$17 million in the third quarter of 2025 and income tax benefit of US$7 million in the second quarter of 2026. For the second quarter of 2026, income tax benefit included reversal of a tax expense of approximately US$13 million due to a reversal of uncertain tax positions.

GAAP net loss attributable to Sohu.com Limited was US$15 million, or a net loss of US$0.60 per fully-diluted American depositary share (“ADS,” each ADS representing one Sohu ordinary share), compared with net income of US$9 million in the third quarter of 2025 and net income of US$0.2 million in the second quarter of 2026.

Supplementary Information for Changyou Results[3]

Third Quarter 2026 Operating Results

For PC games, total average monthly active user accounts[4] (MAU) were 2.6 million, a decrease of 4% year-over-year and flat quarter-over-quarter. Total quarterly aggregate active paying accounts[5] (APA) were 1.0 million, a decrease of 8% year-over-year and an increase of 4% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decrease in APA was mainly due to the natural decline of Changyou’s older games, including Tian Long Ba Bu (“TLBB”) PC, and to the natural decline of TLBB: Return, which was launched during the third quarter of 2025.

For mobile games, total average MAU were 1.4 million, a decrease of 24% year-over-year and 16% quarter-over-quarter. Total quarterly APA were 0.2 million, a decrease of 25% year-over-year and 4% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases in MAU and APA were mainly due to the natural decline of Changyou’s older games.

Third Quarter 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenues were US$115 million, a decrease of 30% year-over-year and 2% quarter-over-quarter. Online game revenues were US$114 million, a decrease of 30% year-over-year and 2% quarter-over-quarter. For online game revenues, the year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a natural decline from a high comparison base driven by content updates released for TLBB PC and the launch of TLBB: Return in the third quarter of 2025.

Both GAAP and non-GAAP total cost of revenues were US$14 million, a decrease of 33% year-over-year and an increase of 2% quarter-over-quarter.

Both GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses were US$42 million, a decrease of 23% year-over-year and 12% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease in salary and benefits expenses, as well as a decrease in marketing and promotional spending for our online games. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to a decrease in licensing fees related to product development.

GAAP operating profit was US$58 million, compared with US$87 million for the third quarter of 2025 and US$55 million for the second quarter of 2026.             

Non-GAAP operating profit was US$59 million, compared with US$88 million for the third quarter of 2025 and US$56 million for the second quarter of 2026.

[3] “Changyou Results” consist of the results of Changyou’s online game business and its 17173.com Website.

[4] Monthly active user 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.

Recent Development

Under the previously-announced share repurchase program of up to US$150 million of the outstanding ADSs, Sohu had repurchased 10.1 million ADSs for an aggregate cost of approximately US$134 million as of November 5, 2026.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2026, Sohu estimates:

Marketing services revenues to be between US$13 million and US$14 million; this implies an annual decrease of 18% to 24%, and a sequential decrease of 6% to 13%.Online game revenues to be between US$111 million and US$121 million; this implies an annual decrease of 8% to an annual increase of 1%, and a sequential decrease of 3% to a sequential increase of 6%.Both non-GAAP and GAAP net loss attributable to Sohu.com Limited to be between US$17 million and US$27 million.

For the fourth quarter 2026 guidance, the Company has adopted a presumed exchange rate of RMB6.73=US$1.00, as compared with the actual exchange rate of approximately RMB7.08=US$1.00 for the fourth quarter of 2025, and RMB6.78=US$1.00 for the third quarter of 2026.

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 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. 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 from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures is useful for itself and investors. Further, the impact of share-based compensation expense 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.

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 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.

Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Sohu’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other filings with and information furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Thesis Elements Expands Support for Student Course Scheduling and Enrollment Analytics

Mappify, a course scheduling and enrollment analytics platform, will help colleges and universities improve the student registration experience and make more informed scheduling decisions.

CHESTERFIELD, Mo., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Thesis America, provider of the Elements student information system (SIS), has acquired Mappify, a platform that helps colleges and universities improve course scheduling for students and gain better insight into enrollment trends.

Mappify gives institutions a public-facing course scheduling tool for students, along with enrollment analytics for registrars, academic leaders, and other higher education decision makers. The platform uses data institutions already maintain in their SIS, making it easier to improve the registration experience and make informed decisions about course offerings.

“Institutions are working hard to give students the courses they need while managing enrollment, faculty, and classroom resources,” said Jason Duggan, CEO of Thesis Elements. “Mappify gives higher ed a practical way to see what’s happening during registration and respond when it matters. It’s a great addition to what we offer, and we’re excited to make it available to more colleges and universities.”

Helping students and institutions make better use of registration data

For students, Mappify makes it easier to find courses and build a schedule that works. Students can check course availability, avoid scheduling conflicts, account for work and other commitments, and explore alternatives when a section fills. Advisors can share recommended schedules directly with students, giving them a useful starting point for conversations about course selection and academic progress.

For institutional leaders, Mappify provides a timelier view of registration. Teams can see which sections are filling, where enrollment is lagging, and which courses may be making it harder for students to get the schedules they need. Enrollment heatmaps, section consolidation tools, and reporting features help institutions evaluate demand and make better-informed decisions about course offerings and resource allocation.

Too often, those issues become clear only after registration has progressed or the term has begun. Mappify helps institutions identify potential problems earlier, when there may still be time to respond.

“A student picking classes is solving a puzzle: work shifts, a commute, a lab that has to line up with a lecture. Most schedule pages leave them to solve it alone. Mappify lets them see what’s open, what conflicts, and what their backup is when a section fills, before registration day and not in the middle of it,” said Travis Cattron, creator of Mappify. “There’s a lot of useful information in an institution’s SIS, but getting that information into a form people can use isn’t always easy. Joining Thesis is an opportunity to bring Mappify to more institutions and keep building on what we’ve started.”

Designed to fit existing systems

Mappify works with data institutions already maintain by using a lightweight export script and API endpoints, eliminating the need for new servers or complex middleware. Institutions can brand the public-facing schedule to match their identity and configure data refreshes to meet their needs, with updates available as often as every minute during peak registration periods.

Most institutions can go live in less than three weeks, according to Mappify, giving colleges a way to introduce new scheduling and analytics capabilities without a lengthy implementation project.

Mappify will be available to Thesis Elements clients as well as a standalone solution for higher education institutions using other student information systems.
