Management Commentary

Mr. Sheng Fu, Cheetah Mobile's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "In Q4, our total revenue accelerated robustly, demonstrating our commitment to high-quality growth and ongoing business turnaround. With the momentum of LLMs, we entered 2025 with tremendous opportunities, including the upcoming launch of AgentOS, our next-generation voice interaction system for service robots, which further strengthens our leadership in voice-enabled robotics. By focusing on scalable robotics solutions and leveraging our strong product technology, we are well-positioned to become a top 3 service robot provider globally within three years. Meanwhile, our legacy Internet business continues to drive strong revenue growth and margin expansion on a year-over-year basis, providing a solid foundation for our AI and robotics investments."

Mr. Thomas Ren, Chief Financial Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: "In Q4, our revenue once again accelerated year-over-year, and we reduced our non-GAAP operating losses quarter-over-quarter. Furthermore, Q4 was the first quarter in which we reduced our non-GAAP operating losses on a year-over-year basis since 4Q 2022. These improvements reflect our continued business progress since Q1 2024. Additionally, we delivered strong cash flow this quarter.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including but are not limited to the following: Cheetah Mobile's growth strategies; Cheetah Mobile's ability to retain and increase its user base and expand its product and service offerings; Cheetah Mobile's ability to monetize its platform; Cheetah Mobile's future business development, financial condition and results of operations; competition with companies in a number of industries including internet companies that provide online marketing services and internet value-added services; expected changes in Cheetah Mobile's revenues and certain cost or expense items; and general economic and business condition globally and in China.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including but not limited to:

   -- Non-GAAP cost of revenues excludes share-based compensation expenses; 
 
   -- Non-GAAP gross profit excludes share-based compensation expenses; 
 
   -- Non-GAAP gross margin excludes share-based compensation expenses; 
 
   -- Total non-GAAP operating expenses exclude share-based compensation 
      expenses, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill 
      resulting from business acquisitions; 
 
   -- Non-GAAP research and development expenses exclude share-based 
      compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from 
      business acquisitions; 
 
   -- Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses exclude share-based compensation 
      expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business 
      acquisitions; 
 
   -- Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses exclude share-based 
      compensation expenses; 
 
   -- Non-GAAP operating profit/loss excludes share-based compensation expenses, 
      amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill resulting 
      from business acquisitions; 
 
   -- Non-GAAP net income/loss attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders 
      excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible 
      assets and impairment of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions; 
 
   -- Non-GAAP diluted earnings/losses per ADS excludes share-based 
      compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and impairment 
      of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions; and 
 
   -- Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents net loss attributable to Cheetah 
      Mobile shareholders excluding share-based compensation, interest income, 
      depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, net income 
      attributable to noncontrolling interests, other income/expenses, net and 
      income tax expenses/benefits. 

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, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions, 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. Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results".
