        quarter of 2018. Operating margin for utility products and related
        services expanded to 35.5% in the first quarter of 2018 from 21.7% in

First Quarter 2018 Operating Metrics

    --  The average number of global mobile monthly active users ("Mobile MAUs")
        was 574 million in the first quarter of 2018. The number of Mobile MAUs
        from markets outside of China, or overseas markets, accounted for 75.4%
        of the total number of Mobile MAUs in the first quarter of 2018.

Artificial Intelligence Technology

    --  In March 2018, Beijing OrionStar Technology, an investee of Cheetah
        Mobile, achieved a record-setting 98.355% recognition rate in the
        MegaFace challenge (Challenge1/FaceScrub identification), an
        internationally recognized facial recognition test managed by the Paul
        G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of
        Washington. Cheetah Mobile holds approximately 30% equity interest in
        Beijing OrionStar Technology and has a two-year warrant to subscribe for
        additional equity interest to achieve a controlling position.

Mr. Sheng Fu, Cheetah Mobile's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We began 2018 on a solid note with total revenues exceeding the high-end of our guidance. In the first quarter of 2018, our utility product business continued to generate strong profits and cash flow. We also solidified our leading position in the mobile casual game market by further enriching our game pipeline. Our artificial intelligence ("AI") powered businesses made steady progress as well. In March, Cheetah Mobile and Beijing OrionStar jointly launched five practical and easy-to-use robotics products, which are powered by Orion OS, an open platform for robotics, which has been developed by Beijing OrionStar. Going forward, we aim to drive steady and healthy profit from our core businesses while simultaneously leveraging our extensive technology and product experience to expand our robotic product offerings."

Mr. Vincent Jiang, Cheetah Mobile's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We continued to expand our profits and margins in the first quarter of 2018 as a result of our strategic efforts to optimize the cost and expense structure for our utility products business and our initiative to dispose of News Republic. Looking ahead, we will continue to drive higher operational efficiency for our core businesses, which in turn will fund our investment in AI-powered business and build long-term growth for Cheetah Mobile and its shareholders."


    [1] Starting from January 1, 2018, Cheetah Mobile adopted a new revenue accounting standard (ASC 606), which reclassifies value added tax from the cost of
    revenues to net against revenues. To increase comparability of operating results and help investors better understand our business performance and operating
    trends, 2017 net revenues have been used to calculate all percentage changes in revenues. 2017 net revenues are defined as gross revenues under legacy GAAP
    after the deduction of value added taxes, which is presented on the same basis as 2018 and going forward.

First Quarter 2018 Consolidated Financial Results

REVENUES

Total revenues were RMB1,145.1 million (US$182.6 million) in the first quarter of 2018.

    --  Revenues from utility products and related services decreased by 7.7%
        year over year to RMB744.8 million (US$118.7 million) in the first
        quarter of 2018. The year-over-year change was primarily due to (i) a
        decline in revenues from mobile utility products and related services
        business in the overseas markets as certain ad formats, i.e., ads on
        mobile phone lock screens, have been discontinued by our overseas
        third-party advertising partners, and (ii) a decline in PC revenues.
        This decrease was largely offset by an increase in mobile utility
        products and related services business in China.
    --  Revenues from the mobile entertainment business increased by 8.0% year
        over year to RMB392.5 million (US$62.6 million). The year-over-year
        increase was driven by the Company's mobile game business, which grew by
        25.3% year over year to RMB174.7 million (US$27.9 million) in the
        quarter. The increase in the mobile game operation was a result of the
        Company's continued efforts to expand its mobile game portfolio by
        introducing some new mobile games in early 2017. In the first quarter of
        2018, revenues from content-driven product decreased by 2.7% year over
        year to RMB217.7 million (US$34.7 million). The decrease was a result of
        a year-over-year growth in revenues from Live.me, which was offset by a
        decline in revenues from the News Republic application as the Company
        disposed of this operation in the fourth quarter of 2017.

By platform, revenues generated from the mobile business were 88.9% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2018, up from 85.3% in the same period last year.

By region, revenues generated from the Chinese market constituted 39.1% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2018, up from 27.6% in the same period last year. The growth of the Company's revenues in the Chinese market was attributable to a ramp-up of mobile utility products and related services businesses in China and increased mobile game revenues in the Chinese market, where the Company's mobile games continue to gain popularity.

Revenues generated from the overseas market constituted 60.9% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2018, a 17.6% decrease year over year to RMB697.5 million (US$111.2 million), mainly due to the impact of lock screen ads. Excluding the foreign exchange impact, revenues from the overseas market decreased by 11.4% year over year.

COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenues decreased by 14.6% year over year to RMB391.2 million (US$62.4 million) in the first quarter of 2018. The year-over-year decrease resulted from reduced bandwidth and IDC costs associated with the Company's mobile utility applications in the overseas markets as well as lower amortization of acquired intangible assets. Non-GAAP cost of revenues decreased by 14.4% year over year to RMB391.3 million (US$62.4 million) in the first quarter of 2018.

Gross profit increased by 2.9% year over year to RMB753.9 million (US$120.2 million) in the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP gross profit increased by 2.7% year over year to RMB753.8 million (US$120.2 million) in the first quarter of 2018.

OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

Total operating expenses decreased by 12.6% year over year to RMB617.6 million (US$98.5 million) in the first quarter of 2018. Total non-GAAP operating expenses decreased by 10.9% year over year to RMB608.5 million (US$97.0 million) in the first quarter of 2018.

    --  Research and development (R&D) expense decreased by 23.0% year over year
        to RMB147.3 million (US$23.5 million) in the first quarter of 2018. The
        decreases were due to lower share-based compensation expenses and
        reduced R&D headcount resulting from the Company's mobile utility
        application business in the overseas markets, and the disposal of News
        Republic. Non-GAAP R&D expenses, which exclude share-based compensation
        expenses, decreased by 15.6% year over year to RMB153.4 million (US$24.5
        million) in the first quarter of 2018.
    --  Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 5.5% year over year to
        RMB391.4 million (US$62.4 million) in the first quarter of 2018. The
        decreases were mainly due to decreased promotional activities for the
        Company's mobile products in the overseas markets. Non-GAAP selling and
        marketing expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses,
        decreased by 5.6% year over year to RMB391.1 million (US$62.3 million)
        in the first quarter of 2018.
    --  General and administrative expenses decreased by 12.5% year over year to
        RMB90.6 million (US$14.4 million) in the first quarter of 2018. The
        year-over-year decrease was primarily due to lower professional service
        fees and employee benefits. Non-GAAP general and administrative
        expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses, decreased by
        15.4% year over year to RMB75.8 million (US$12.1 million) in the first
        quarter of 2018.

Operating profit increased to RMB136.4 million (US$21.7 million) in the first quarter of 2018 from RMB26.3 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating profit increased to RMB145.3 million (US$23.2 million) in the first quarter of 2018 from RMB50.7 million in the same period last year.

The Company has reported its operating profit along the following segments since the second quarter of 2017:

    --  Operating profit for utility products and related services increased by
        47.8% year over year to RMB264.7 million (US$42.2 million) in the first
        quarter of 2018 due to the optimization of the cost and expense
        structure for this segment.
    --  Operating loss for the mobile entertainment business was RMB75.0 million
        (US$12.0 million) in the first quarter of 2018, compared to operating
        loss of RMB128.5 million in the same period last year. The reduced loss
        was mainly a result of increased revenues generated from the Company's
        mobile game businesses and reduced costs and expenses from the News
        Republic business, partially offset by the Company's increased
        investments in the Live.me operation.

Share-based compensation expenses decreased by 63.4% year over year to RMB8.9 million (US$1.4 million) in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease resulted from a combination of several factors. The Company employed an accelerated method to recognize share-based compensation expenses. In addition, a significant number of share-based awards that were granted by the Company during its IPO in 2014 approached the end of their vesting periods in 2017. Furthermore, fewer share-based awards were granted in the first quarter of 2018 than in the same period last year.

IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENTS

Impairment of investments were RMB58.0 million (US$9.2 million) in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to a one-time non-cash write-down of certain convertible loans to a third-party. The loss was recorded as a non-operating item since the loans were provided for investment purposes, which is outside of the Company's main business activity.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO CHEETAH MOBILE SHAREHOLDERS

Net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders was RMB70.0 million (US$11.2 million) in the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders was RMB78.9 million (US$12.6 million) in the first quarter of 2018.

NET INCOME PER ADS

Diluted income per ADS was RMB0.42 (US$0.07) in the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP diluted income per ADS was RMB0.48 (US$0.08) in the first quarter of 2018.

ADJUSTED EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased by 93.3% year over year to RMB168.8 million (US$26.9 million) in the first quarter of 2018.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, RESTRICTED CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS BALANCE

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments of RMB3,355.8 million (US$535.0 million).

SHARES ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had a total of 1,421,649,639 Class A and Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. One ADS represents 10 Class A ordinary shares.

Business Outlook

For the second quarter of 2018, the Company expects its total revenues to be between RMB1,020 million (US$163 million) and RMB1,080 million (US$172 million). This estimate represents management's preliminary view as of the date of this release, which is subject to change.

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.

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.

      (a) On January 1, 2018, The Group adopted ASC 606, applying the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Adoption did not have a material impact as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning
       on or after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under ASC 605. As ASC 605 has been superseded by ASC 606 on this subject, value added
       tax was reclassified from the cost of revenues to net against revenues. Advertising-for-advertising barter transactions should be recorded at the fair value of the advertising received by reference to the fair value of advertising services provided to
       other customers. Revenues are recognized in the same amount with costs and  expenses. Previously, such transactions were recorded at  cost which was nil as no consideration was exchanged. The following table illustrates the effect of the adoption of ASC
       606 by presenting a comparison of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as actually reported and as they would have been reported under ASC 605, without the adoption of ASC 606:
