“We are pleased to report a solid performance in our top and bottom line for the second quarter with healthy growth in our brand advertising, a strong uptake in our search revenue as traffic on our search engine SoGou shows rapid growth, and the recovery of our wireless business well on track,” said Charles Zhang, Chairman and CEO of SOHU.

 

This excerpt taken from the SOHU 8-K filed Apr 29, 2005.

Highlights for the first quarter 2005:

 

  •   Total revenues of US$23.73 million, above company guidance

 

  •   Advertising revenue of US$14.86 million, within the high end of company guidance

 

  •   Non-advertising revenue of US$8.87 million, exceeding company guidance due to wireless business recovery resulting in 28% quarter-on-quarter growth

 

  •   Net profit of US$5.71 million or US$0.15 per fully diluted share, meeting company guidance

 

“We are pleased to report these first quarter results. Despite seasonal weakness in online advertising due to the Chinese New Year holidays in February, advertising and sponsored search sales performed strongly relative to our expectations. Wireless business has turned the corner with quarterly sequential revenue growth exceeding our expectations, indicating that we have left last year’s transitional and regulatory issues behind us. As a result, we believe SOHU’s first quarter results put us on firm ground for a good business year. I am particularly pleased to note that quarter-on-quarter sponsored search revenue achieved some growth while search traffic doubled,” said Charles Zhang, Chairman and CEO of SOHU.
