BEIJING, March 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sogou Inc. (NYSE:
SOGO) ("Sogou" or "the Company"), an innovator in search and a
leader in China's internet industry, today announced its unaudited
financial results for the fourth quarter and full year, ended
December 31, 2019.
Fourth Quarter 2019 Highlights
- Total revenues[1] were $301.0
million, a 1% increase year-over-year, or a 3% increase in
RMB terms.
- Net income attributable to Sogou Inc. was $35.0 million, a 33% increase year-over-year.
Non-GAAP[2] net income attributable to Sogou Inc. was
$39.0 million, a 44% increase
year-over-year.
- Sogou Mobile Keyboard had 464 million DAUs (daily average
users), up 9% year-over-year. As China's largest voice recognition
app, it processed up to 802 million daily voice requests.
Full Year 2019 Highlights
- Total revenues were $1.17
billion, an increase of 4% year-over-year, or a 9% increase
in RMB terms.
- Net income attributable to Sogou Inc. was $89.1 million, compared to $98.8 million in 2018. Non-GAAP net income
attributable to Sogou Inc. was $105.0
million, compared to $113.0
million in 2018.
"Our business showed resilience in 2019 despite continued
headwinds in the macro environment and in the online advertising
industry in China," said
Xiaochuan Wang, CEO of Sogou.
"Search revenue grew faster than the industry average in 2019, as
we stepped up efforts to build out our content and service
ecosystem. Revenues from our Recommendation Service leveraging
Mobile Keyboard increased nearly 90% year-over-year in 2019. The
Smart Hardware business maintained healthy growth momentum as we
increasingly integrated our core AI capabilities into product
upgrades. With respect to our language-centric AI technologies, we
have been able to provide industry-leading solutions, including our
AI-powered Vocational Avatars and Simultaneous Interpretation."
Mr. Wang added, "The recent COVID-19 outbreak has increased user
requests for reliable information and high efficiency. As a result,
our Search traffic and Mobile Keyboard users reached record high
levels. We also quickly mobilized our R&D and technological
advantages to address the situation and facilitate the development
of AI healthcare. While we expect the epidemic to have a short-term
dampening impact on our results in the first quarter of 2020, we
remain confident in our overall positioning with strong execution
of our strategies to further unlock the potential of our core user
assets."
Joe Zhou, CFO of Sogou, said, "We
are pleased to see steady progress in our fourth quarter results,
despite continued pressure from external challenges. In particular,
we experienced margin expansion across the board in the quarter,
and our non-GAAP net income increased 44% year-over-year to
$39 million. This primarily resulted
from our efforts to prudently control traffic acquisition costs and
to drive operational efficiencies, which we will continue as we
forge ahead, particularly amidst the near-term challenging
environment. We remain confident in our long-term growth
prospects."
Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Total revenues were $301.0
million, a 1% increase year-over-year.
- Search and search-related revenues were
$274.6 million, down 1%
year-over-year. However, auction-based pay-for-click services
continued to increase year-over-year, accounting for 88.2% of
search and search-related revenues, compared to 84.8% in the
corresponding period in 2018.
- Other revenues were $26.4
million, a 26% increase year-over-year. The increase was
primarily due to increased revenues from sales of smart hardware
products.
Cost of revenues was $168.7
million, a 9% decrease year-over-year. Traffic
acquisition cost, a primary driver of cost of revenues, was
$129.0 million, a 14% decrease
year-over-year, representing 42.8% of total revenues, compared to
50.3% in the corresponding period in 2018.
Gross profit was $132.4
million, an 18% increase year-over-year. Non-GAAP
gross profit was $132.6 million,
a 19% increase year-over-year.
Total operating expenses were $95.0 million, a 4% decrease year-over-year.
- Research and development expenses were
$48.7 million, a 1% increase
year-over-year, representing 16.2% of total revenues, largely flat
with the corresponding period in 2018.
- Sales and marketing expenses were
$34.9 million, a 16% decrease
year-over-year, representing 11.6% of total revenues, compared to
14.0% in the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease was
primarily attributable to a decrease in marketing and promotional
spending.
- General and administrative expenses were
$11.3 million, a 21% increase
year-over-year, representing 3.8% of total revenues, compared to
3.1% in the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in professional fees.
Operating income was $37.4
million, a 202% increase year-over-year, compared to
$12.4 million in the corresponding
period in 2018. Non-GAAP operating income was $41.5 million, a 216% increase year-over-year,
compared to $13.1 million in the
corresponding period in 2018.
Other income, net was $0.5
million, compared to $9.6
million in the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease
was primarily due to a $9.1 million
impairment loss on certain equity investments of the Company in
2019.
Income tax expense was $2.0
million, compared to an income tax benefit of $3.6 million in the corresponding period of
2018.

million in the corresponding period in 2018.

$0.09. Non-GAAP basic and
diluted earnings per ADS were $0.10.

investments of $1.1 billion,
compared to $1.0 billion as of
December 31, 2018. Net operating
cash inflow for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $52.0 million. Capital expenditures for
the fourth quarter of 2019 were $9.1
million.
Full Year 2019 Financial Results
Total revenues were $1.17
billion, a 4% increase from 2018.
- Search and search-related revenues were
$1.07 billion, a 5% increase from
2018. The increase was primarily due to growth in auction-based
pay-for-click services. Auction-based pay-for-click services
accounted for 88.1% of search

million in 2018.

income was $80.3 million, a 36%
increase from 2018.
Other income, net was $21.1
million, compared to $41.5
million in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to
a $17.8 million gain from one of the Company's equity
investments recognized in the third quarter of 2018.

million, compared to $1.2
million in 2018.

[1] On a constant currency (non-GAAP)
basis, if the exchange rate in the fourth quarter of 2019 had been
the
same as it was in the fourth quarter of 2018, or RMB 6.91=$1.00,
total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2019
would have been 306.3 million, or $5.2 million more than GAAP total
revenues, and up 3% year-over-year.

[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."

Business Outlook
For the first quarter of 2020, Sogou expects total revenues to
be in the range of $240 million to
$260 million, representing a 5%
decrease to 3% increase year-over-year, or a 1% decrease to 7%
increase year-over-year in RMB terms. In developing this guidance,
the Company has considered the potential impact of the COVID-19
outbreak, as well as other challenges in the macro environment and
the online advertising industry. Given our Search business has
navigated the situation relatively well, we expect Search to remain
resilient in the first quarter.The guidance represents the
Company's current and preliminary view, which is subject to
substantial uncertainty, particularly as to the development and
potential impact of the COVID-19 virus in China and elsewhere.
For the first quarter 2020 guidance, the Company has adopted a
presumed exchange rate of RMB7.00 =
$1.00, as compared with the actual
exchange rate of approximately RMB6.74 = $1.00 for
the first quarter of 2019, and RMB7.03 = $1.00 for
the fourth 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"), Sogou's management uses non-GAAP measures
of gross profit, gross margin, and net income that are adjusted
from results based on GAAP to exclude the impact of share-based
awards. 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.
Sogou's management believes that excluding share-based
compensation expense is useful for management's internal operating
purposes and for investors. The amount of share-based compensation
expense cannot be anticipated by management, and this is not built
into the Company's annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which
generally will be the basis for information Sogou provides to
analysts and investors as guidance for future operating
performance. As share-based compensation expense does not involve
subsequent cash outflow, Sogou does not factor in this expense when
evaluating and approving expenditures or when determining the
allocation of its resources to its business operations. As a
result, in general, the Company's monthly financial results for
internal reporting and any performance measures for commissions and
bonuses are based on these non-GAAP financial measures that exclude
share-based compensation expense.
The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance
investors' overall understanding of Sogou's current financial
performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using
non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, and net income measures that
exclude share-based compensation expense is that share-based
compensation expense has been and is likely to continue to be a
significant recurring expense in the Company's business. 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.

currently expected that the Business Outlook will not be updated

particular. Further information regarding these and other risks is

ended December 31, 2018 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2019, and other documents Sogou files
