Second Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights

    --  Total revenues increased by 14.8% year over year to RMB1,201.6 million
        (US$177.2 million), mostly driven by the Company's growth in mobile

    --  Operating profit increased to RMB66.2 million (US$9.8 million) from an
        operating loss of RMB63.0 million in the same period last year. 
        Non-GAAP operating profit increased by 254.3% year over year to RMB90.4
        million (US$13.3 million).  In particular, operating profit for the
        Company's utility products and related services business increased by
        50.6% year over year to RMB212.8 million (US$31.4 million) in the second
        quarter of 2017, primarily driven by the Company's effort in optimizing
        its utility products' cost and expense structure.
    --  Net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders increased to
        RMB70.2 million (US$10.4 million) from a net loss attributable to
        Cheetah Mobile shareholders of RMB150.5 million in the same period last
        year.  Non-GAAP net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders
        increased to RMB94.4 million (US$13.9 million) from a non-GAAP net loss
        attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders of RMB61.9 million in the
        same period last year.
    --  The Company generated RMB194.7 million (US$28.7 million) of net cash
        from operating activities and RMB185.1 million (US$27.3 million) of free
        cash flow(1) in the second quarter of 2017.

    [1] Free cash flow is defined
     as net cash generated by
     operating activities less
     capital expenditure

Second Quarter 2017 Key Operating Metrics

    --  The number of global mobile monthly active users ("Mobile MAUs") was
        581.3 million in June 2017. The number of Mobile MAUs from markets
        outside of China, or overseas markets, accounted for 77.3% of the total
        number of Mobile MAUs in June 2017.

Mr. Sheng Fu, Cheetah Mobile's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our second quarter results remain stable and were in line with management expectations. We have been making adjustments to our utility products and realigning our cost structure. As a result, we continued to generate robust operating profit and cash flow from our utility product business during the second quarter of 2017. Also during the quarter, our mobile game business grew considerably on both top and bottom lines as we continued to expand our game portfolio with new mobile game introductions in early 2017. In addition, we further increased Live.me's user engagement and user stickiness through continued product improvement and content enrichment. We are confident that we remain on track to build a sustainable growth model for the long term."

Mr. Vincent Jiang, Cheetah Mobile's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We made a concerted effort in controlling our utility products' cost and expenses in the second quarter of 2017. As a result, our operating profit and net cash generated from operating activities for the quarter grew significantly both year over year and quarter over quarter. For the second half of 2017, we have a clear strategy to maintain our utility products' profitability and at the same time grow our Live.me and mobile game businesses.

Because our various business lines are in different phases of growth, in the first quarter of 2017, we reported our revenues according to business lines to help investors better understand our businesses. As we increasingly evaluate our utility products and related services separately from the rest of our business lines to assess their performance and allocate resources, in the second quarter of 2017, we will report our utility products and related services as one operating segment and consolidate our remaining businesses, including our content-driven products and mobile game businesses into one segment called the mobile entertainment business."

Second Quarter 2017 Consolidated Financial Results

REVENUES

Total revenues increased by 14.8% year over year and 0.9% quarter over quarter to RMB1,201.6 million (US$177.2 million) in the second quarter of 2017.

    --  Revenues from utility products and related services, which includes
        mobile utility applications, internet browsers and PC security software,
        decreased by 13.3% year over year while remaining relatively stable
        quarter over quarter at RMB820.3 million (US$121.0 million) in the
        second quarter of 2017.  The year-over-year decrease was primarily due
        to a decrease in PC revenues as internet traffic in China continuously
        migrates from PC to mobile devices. Revenues from the Company's mobile
        utility products remained stable year over year.
    --  Revenues from the mobile entertainment business, which includes Live.me,
        News Republic, and mobile games, increased by 270.5% year over year and
        2.1% quarter over quarter to RMB371.0 million (US$54.7 million). The
        year-over-year increase was primarily driven by a rapid growth in
        Live.me's broadcasting revenue and the Company's enriched mobile game
        portfolio as a result of its continuous new mobile game introductions
        earlier this year. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily
        driven by the growth in the mobile game business.

By platform, revenues generated from the mobile business increased by 34.5% year over year and 3.0% quarter over quarter to RMB1,038.8 million (US$153.2 million) in the second quarter of 2017, primarily driven by the rapid growth of the Company's Live.me business in overseas markets and the increase in its mobile game revenues.

By region, revenues generated from overseas markets increased by 50.3% year over year and remained relatively flat quarter over quarter at RMB842.9 million (US$124.3 million) in the second quarter of 2017.

COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenues increased by 30.0% year over year and remained flat quarter over quarter at RMB461.1 million (US$68.0 million) in the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the increased investment in the Company's content-driven products including Live.me and News Republic.

Non-GAAP cost of revenues increased by 29.8% year over year while remaining relatively flat quarter over quarter at RMB460.2 million (US$67.9 million) in the second quarter of 2017.

Gross profit increased by 7.0% year over year and 1.1% quarter over quarter to RMB740.5 million (US$109.2 million) in the second quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP gross profit increased by 7.1% year over year and 1.0% quarter over quarter to RMB741.3 million (US$109.4 million) in the second quarter of 2017.

OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

Total operating expenses decreased by 10.7% year over year and 4.6% quarter over quarter to RMB674.2 million (US$99.5 million) in the second quarter of 2017. Total non-GAAP operating expenses decreased by 2.3% year over year and 4.7% quarter over quarter to RMB650.9 million (US$96.0 million) in the second quarter of 2017.

    --  Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased by 26.6% year over
        year and 12.7% quarter over quarter to RMB167.0 million (US$24.6
        million) in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to lower R&D
        personnel costs of the Company's utility products, partially offset by
        increased R&D personnel costs of its artificial intelligence
        technologies and content-driven products. Non-GAAP R&D expenses, which
        exclude share-based compensation expenses, decreased by 8.4% year over
        year and 10.2% quarter over quarter to RMB163.2 million (US$24.1
        million) in the second quarter of 2017.
    --  Selling and marketing expenses remained relatively flat year over year
        and quarter over quarter at RMB413.1 million (US$60.9 million) in the
        second quarter of 2017. The Company shifted some of its selling and
        marketing budget from its utility products to its content-driven
        products.  Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses, which exclude
        share-based compensation expenses, remained relatively flat year over
        year while decreasing by 1.5% quarter over quarter to RMB408.2 million
        (US$60.2 million) in the second quarter of 2017.
    --  General and administrative expenses decreased by 37.8% year over year
        and 3.5% quarter over quarter to RMB100.0 million (US$14.8 million) in
        the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decrease was primarily
        due to high professional service fees recorded in the second quarter of
        2016 in connection with certain acquisition activities. Non-GAAP general
        and administrative expenses, which exclude share-based compensation
        expenses, decreased by 30.5% year over year and 4.6% quarter over
        quarter to RMB85.4 million (US$12.6 million) in the second quarter of
        2017.

Operating profit increased to RMB66.2 million (US$9.8 million) in the second quarter of 2017 from an operating loss of RMB63.0 million in the same period last year and an operating profit of RMB26.3 million in the previous quarter.

Non-GAAP operating profit increased by 254.3% year over year and 78.4% quarter over quarter to RMB90.4 million (US$13.3 million) in the second quarter of 2017.

Starting from the second quarter of 2017, the Company will report its operating profit along the following segments:

    --  ?Operating profit for utility products and related services increased by
        50.6% year over year and 18.8% quarter over quarter to RMB212.8 million
        (US$31.4 million) in the second quarter of 2017, mainly due to the
        Company's effort in optimizing its utility products' cost and expense
        structure.
    --  ?Operating loss for the mobile entertainment business was RMB122.1
        million (US$18.0 million) in the second quarter of 2017, mainly due to
        the Company's increased investments in its content-driven products. The
        Company had operating losses of RMB106.2 million in the same period last
        year and RMB128.5 million in the previous quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Cheetah Mobile's consolidated financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Cheetah Mobile uses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

    --  Non-GAAP cost of revenues reflects cost of revenues excluding the
        portion of share-based compensation expenses allocated to cost of
        revenues.
    --  Non-GAAP gross profit reflects gross profit excluding the portion of
        share-based compensation expenses allocated to gross profit.
    --  Non-GAAP operating income and expenses reflect operating income and
        expenses excluding the portion of share-based compensation expenses
        allocated to operating expenses.
    --  Non-GAAP operating profit reflects operating profit excluding
        share-based compensation expenses.
    --  Non-GAAP net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders is net
        income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders excluding share-based
        compensation expenses.
    --  Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS is non-GAAP net income attributable to
        Cheetah Mobile shareholders excluding net income attributable to
        redeemable noncontrolling interests, divided by weighted average number
        of diluted ADSs.
    --  ?Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
        amortization, other non-operating income and share-based compensation
        expenses.
    --  Free cash flow is net cash generated by operating activities less
        capital expenditure.

The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of share-based compensation expenses and the use of Adjusted EBITDA add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance from the cash perspective. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of share-based compensation expenses, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" and "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Cheetah Mobile Shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)" at the end of this release.
