SOHU

Earnings

Guidance Update

Share Buyback

Sohu reported total revenues of $180 million for Q3 2025, a 19% year-over-year increase, primarily driven by online game revenues of $162 million (up 27% YoY). The company achieved a GAAP net income of $9 million, a significant improvement from net losses in the prior year and previous quarter.
The strong Q3 online game performance was largely attributed to the successful launch of the new PC game TLBB Return and the better-than-expected performance of TLBB Vintage new servers.
For Q4 2025, Sohu anticipates marketing service revenues between $15 million and $16 million and online game revenues between $130 million and $123 million, forecasting a net loss of $25 million to $35 million. Management noted the overall advertising market remains "under pressure" due to a "not that good" macroeconomic situation.
As of November 13, 2025, Sohu had repurchased 7.6 million ADS for approximately $97 million, completing two-thirds of its $150 million share repurchase program.

The company's strong financial performance was primarily driven by the online game business, which generated revenues of $162 million, up 27% year-over-year and 53% quarter-over-quarter, largely due to the successful launch of the new PC game TLBB Return and strong performance from TLBB Vintage.
Marketing services revenues continued to face challenges, reaching $14 million in Q3 2025, a 27% decrease year-over-year, reflecting a difficult macroeconomic environment and pressure in sectors such as auto and IT services.
