Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

    --  Total revenue was US$150 million(1), representing an increase of 16%
        year-over-year and 25% quarter-over-quarter, meeting the top end of the
        Company's updated guidance.
    --  Online game revenue was US$122 million, representing an increase of 23%
        year-over-year and 43% quarter-over-quarter, exceeding the Company's
        updated guidance.
    --  GAAP net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited was US$52 million,
        representing an increase of 57% year-over-year and 73%
        quarter-over-quarter, in line with the Company's updated guidance.
    --  Non-GAAP(2) net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited was US$61
        million, representing an increase of 68% year-over-year and 72%
        quarter-over-quarter, in line with the Company's updated guidance.

Mr. Dewen Chen, CEO, commented, "I'm pleased with the solid growth this quarter in both revenue and non-GAAP net income, which was mainly driven by the recent success of Legacy TLBB. In terms of our new games, we continue to direct our strategic focus on MMORPG games, advanced casual games and SLG games. We remain committed to delivering the highest quality games possible as we work hard to develop our next blockbuster."

Mr. Qing Wei, Chief Games Development Officer added, "Our Legacy TLBB mobile game has consistently ranked among the top three grossing games in the Apple App Store since its launch in May. The success of Legacy TLBB was built on the enormous user base of our TLBB PC game and is a testament to our commitment to producing high quality games. The game took us a year and half to develop, and the team was given the Company's full support and the best available resources. We made sure that we delivered the highest possible quality for the game through continuous testing and modification."

Ms. Jasmine Zhou, CFO of Changyou added, "After the last couple of years' hard work, a few more new titles are scheduled for launch at the end of this year or early next year. Until these games are officially launched, we will continue our testing and adjustments on them, and start the marketing process for them from the third quarter."


    (1) For the second quarter of 2017, on a yearly
     basis, the depreciation of the RMB against the
     U.S. dollar impacted our reported financial
     results. On a constant currency (non-GAAP)
     basis, if the exchange rate in the second
     quarter of 2017 had been the same as it was in
     the second quarter of 2016, or
     RMB6.53=US$1.00, total revenue in the second
     quarter of 2017 would have been US$158
     million, or US$8 million higher than GAAP
     total revenue, and up 22% year-over-year,
     rather than up 16% 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 Operations Measures to
     the Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures".

Second Quarter 2017 Operational Results

    --  Total average monthly active accounts(3 )of the Company's PC games were
        2.4 million, representing a decrease of 17% year-over-year and flat
        quarter-over-quarter.
    --  Total average monthly active accounts of the Company's mobile games were
        7.4 million, representing an increase of 208% year-over-year and 573%
        quarter-over-quarter.
    --  Total quarterly aggregate active paying accounts(4) of the Company's PC
        games were 0.9 million, representing a decrease of 10% year-over-year
        and flat quarter-over-quarter.
    --  Total quarterly aggregate active paying accounts of the Company's mobile
        games were 2.5 million, representing an increase of 317% year-over-year
        and 733% quarter-over-quarter.

The year-over-year decrease for the Company's PC games reflected the natural declining life cycles of the Company's older games.

The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases for the Company's mobile games reflected the successful launch of the Company's new mobile game, Legacy TLBB, in the second quarter.


    (3) Average Monthly Active
     Accounts for a given
     period refers to the
     number of registered
     accounts that were logged
     in to these games at least
     once during the period.

Second Quarter 2017 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenue was US$150 million, representing an increase of 16% year-over-year and 25% quarter-over-quarter.

Online game revenue was US$122 million, representing an increase of 23% year-over-year and 43% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to the successful launch of the Company's new mobile game, Legacy TLBB, in the second quarter.

Online advertising revenue was US$7 million, representing a decrease of 39% year-over-year and an increase of 21% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to fewer games being marketed on the 17173 website. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to a seasonal trend in online game advertising typical of the second quarter.

Cinema advertising revenue was US$17 million, representing an increase of 28% year-over-year and a decrease of 29% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase was because the Company took an active approach in acquiring more advertising resources. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was a result of a seasonal trend in cinema advertising typical of the second quarter.

Internet value-added services ("IVAS") revenue was US$4 million, representing a decrease of 27% year-over-year and 14% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter decreases were a result of lower revenue from PC internet products in the second quarter of 2017.

Gross profit

GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit were both US$115 million, representing an increase of 32% year-over-year and 43% quarter-over-quarter. GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin were both 77%, compared with 68% in the second quarter of 2016, and 67% in the first quarter of 2017.

GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of the online games business were both 91%, compared with 74% in the second quarter of 2016 and 81% in the first quarter of 2017.

GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of the online advertising business were both 76%, compared with 79% in the second quarter of 2016 and 72% in the first quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decrease and quarter-over-quarter increase in gross margin reflected changes in revenue generated by the online advertising business each quarter while costs remained relatively flat.

GAAP and non-GAAP gross loss of the cinema advertising business were both US$2 million, compared with gross profit of US$3 million in the second quarter of 2016 and gross profit of US$6 million in the first quarter of 2017.

The year-over-year decrease in gross margin was mainly due to an increase in costs related to acquiring advertising resources in the second quarter of 2017. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in gross margin was mainly due to lower cinema advertising revenue in the second quarter of 2017, while costs remained stable compared with the first quarter of 2017.

Product development expense was US$36 million, representing an increase of 15% year-over-year and 35% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to an increase in expenses associated with new games.

Sales and marketing expense was US$13 million, representing a decrease of 6% year-over-year and an increase of 14% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a reduction in marketing and promotional spending for online games in the second quarter of 2017. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to an increase in sales and marketing expense for the cinema advertising business.

General and administrative expense was US$14 million, which was flat year-over-year and an increase of 14% quarter-over-quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to an increase in share-based compensation expense resulting from an increase in the market price for the Company's ADSs in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2017.

        ADS to be between US$1.02 and US$1.12.  Share based compensation to be
        around US$2 million, assuming no new grants of share-based awards and
        that the market price of Changyou's ADSs is unchanged. Taking into

        net income attributable to Changyou.com to be between US$53 million and
        US$58 million, and GAAP income per fully-diluted ADS to be between
        US$0.99 and US$1.08.

For the third quarter 2017 guidance, the Company has adopted a presumed exchange rate of RMB7.00 = US$1.00, as compared with the actual exchange rate of approximately RMB6.66 = US$1.00 for the third quarter 2016, and RMB6.86=US$ 1.00 for the second quarter 2017.

Pending Management Change

Changyou also announced that Ms. Jasmine Zhou has submitted to the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") her resignation as the Company's Chief Financial Officer, for personal reasons. Ms. Zhou has agreed, at the Board's request, that she will remain in her current position for a suitable period, in order to allow the Company's management and the Board to identify a suitable replacement for Ms. Zhou.

Dewen Chen, Changyou's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We wish to thank Jasmine for her extraordinary leadership and contributions to Changyou. Jasmine has been an integral part of our management team and has led a strong financial team, during an important period of strategic change and re-organization, that helped rationalize operations and drove up efficiencies, which were instrumental in our improved margins. Jasmine will be missed, but we do respect her decision and wish her continued success in her future endeavors."

Jasmine Zhou, Changyou's Chief Financial Officer, said: "It is with very mixed feelings that I have decided to leave Changyou, which has been a very rewarding experience for me. I am comforted to know that I will be leaving a company that is in sound financial condition, well-poised to move forward, and wish the Changyou's talented business and financial management teams, and all of the Company's wonderful employees, great success in the mobile game era."

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"), Changyou's management uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating profit, net income, net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited and diluted net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the compensation cost of share-based awards granted, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions. 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.

Changyou's management believes that excluding share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for itself and investors. Further, the amount of share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions cannot be anticipated by management, and these expenses are not built into the Company's annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which generally will be the basis for information Changyou provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance. As share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions does not involve subsequent cash outflow, Changyou does not factor this in when evaluating and approving expenditures or when determining the allocation of its resources to its business operations. As a result, in general, the monthly financial results for internal reporting and any performance measure for commissions and bonuses are based on non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions.

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of Changyou's current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP gross profit, operating profit, net income, net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited and diluted net income attributable to Changyou.com Limited per ADS, excluding share-based compensation expense, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions, is that the share-based compensation charge has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in the Company's business for the foreseeable future, non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards and income/expense from the adjustment of contingent consideration previously recorded for acquisitions may recur in the future. 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.

Notes to Financial Information

Financial information in this press release other than the information indicated as being non-GAAP is derived from Changyou's unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor Statement

This announcement contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, continuing volatility in global financial and credit markets and its potential impact on the Chinese economy; exchange rate fluctuations in general and possible continued valuation of the RMB in particular, including their potential impact on the Chinese economy and on the Company's reported U.S. dollar results; slowing growth in the Chinese economy; the uncertain regulatory landscape in the People's Republic of China; fluctuations in Changyou's quarterly operating results; the possibility that Changyou will be unable to develop a series of successful games for mobile platforms or successfully monetize mobile games it develops or acquires; the possibility that the Company's margins will decline as a result of the need for revenue-sharing with mobile game platform operators; and the Company's reliance on TLBB as its major revenue source.

    6 In the third quarter of 2016, the Company's management had an intention to divest the Company's interest in MoboTap. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of MoboTap were recognized as assets-held-for-sale and
     liabilities-held-for-sale, respectively, in the Company's financial statements for the third and fourth quarters of 2016.  In the first quarter of 2017, due to the suspension of negotiations with the potential buyers
     of MoboTap, the Company's management determined that the disposal is unlikely to be completed within one year. As a result, the assets-held-for-sale and liabilities-held-for-sale related to MoboTap have been
     reclassified as assets and liabilities, in the Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2017.
