Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Total revenues reached RMB7.5 billion (US$1.1 billion), representing a 1% decrease from the same period in 2019.

Membership services revenue was RMB3.8 billion (US$587.8 million), representing a 1% decrease from the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the decline of our subscribing members from 106.9 million a year ago to 101.7 million as of December 31, 2020.

Online advertising services revenue was RMB1.9 billion (US$284.9 million), representing a 1% decrease from the same period in 2019.

Content distribution revenue was RMB804.3 million (US$123.3 million), representing an 8% decrease from the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by less cash transaction partially offset by the increase of barter transaction.

Other revenues were RMB959.6 million (US$147.1 million), representing a 10% increase from the same period in 2019, primarily due to the growth of certain business lines.

Cost of revenues was RMB6.8 billion (US$1.0 billion), representing a 14% decrease from the same period in 2019. The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily due to less content costs during the quarter. Content costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB5.1 billion (US$786.1 million), representing a 10% decrease from the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to less recorded expenses of produced content, more shorter- length content to satisfy the diversified users' demand, as well as update of accounting estimates of future viewership consumption patterns and useful lives of content assets to better reflect the expected usage of these content assets.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1.3 billion (US$201.9 million), representing a 6% decrease from the same period in 2019. This was primarily attribute to less marketing spend.

Research and development expenses were RMB663.4 million (US$101.7 million), representing a 7% decrease from the same period in 2019, primarily due to the decrease of personnel-related compensation expenses.

Operating loss was RMB1.3 billion (US$200.4 million), compared to operating loss of RMB2.5 billion in the same period in 2019. Operating loss margin was 18%, compared to operating loss margin of 34% in the same period in 2019.

Total other expense was RMB241.0 million (US$36.9 million), compared to total other income of RMB75.3 million during the same period of 2019. The year-over-year variance was mainly due to less foreign exchange gain.

Loss before income taxes was RMB1.5 billion (US$237.3 million), compared to loss before income taxes of RMB2.5 billion in the same period in 2019.

Income tax benefit was RMB16.3 million (US$2.5 million), compared to income tax expense of RMB22.6 million in the same period in 2019.

Total revenues reached RMB29.7 billion (US$4.6 billion), representing a 2% increase from 2019.

Membership services revenue was RMB16.5 billion (US$2.5 billion), representing a 14% increase from 2019.

Online advertising services revenue was RMB6.8 billion (US$1.0 billion), representing a 18% decrease from 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the challenging macroeconomic environment in China.

Other revenues were RMB3.7 billion (US$572.3 million), remaining flat from 2019.

Cost of revenues was RMB27.9 billion (US$4.3 billion), representing an 8% decrease from 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to less content costs and other cost items.  Content costs as a component of cost of revenues were RMB20.9 billion (US$3.2 billion), representing a 6% decrease from 2019. The decrease was a combined effect of less recorded expenses of produced content, more shorter-length content to satisfy the diversified users' demand, as well as update of accounting estimates of future viewership consumption patterns and useful lives of content assets to better reflect the expected usage of these content assets.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB5.2 billion (US$795.1 million), representing a 1% decrease from 2019. This was primarily due to less marketing spend.

Research and development expenses were RMB2.7 billion (US$410.0 million), remaining flat from 2019, primarily due to the decreased personnel compensation offset by the increase of share-based compensation expenses.

Financial Guidance

For the first quarter of 2021, iQIYI expects total net revenues to be between RMB7.07 billion (US$1.08 billion) and RMB7.53 billion (US$1.15 billion), representing an 8% to a 2% decrease year over year. This forecast reflects iQIYI's current and preliminary view, which may be subject to change.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "confident" and similar statements. Among other things, the Financial Guidance and quotations from management in this announcement, as well as iQIYI's strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements. iQIYI may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including but not limited to statements about iQIYI's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: iQIYI's strategies; iQIYI's future business development, financial condition and results of operations; iQIYI's ability to retain and increase the number of users, members and advertising customers, and expand its service offerings; competition in the online entertainment industry; changes in iQIYI's revenues, costs or expenditures; Chinese governmental policies and regulations relating to the online entertainment industry, general economic and business conditions globally and in China and assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement iQIYI's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, iQIYI uses free cash flow as non-GAAP financial measure. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

iQIYI believes that the non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its recurring liquidity position, such as operating cash flows adjusted by capital expenditures. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to the non-GAAP financial measure in assessing its liquidation and when planning and forecasting future periods. The non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management's internal comparisons to iQIYI's historical liquidity. The Company believes the non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using the non-GAAP financial measure is that the non-GAAP measure exclude certain items that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant component in the Company's results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measure presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Starting from January 1, 2020, iQIYI adopted ASU 2019-02, Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, which reclassifies cash outflows for costs incurred to acquire licensed contents from investing activities to operating activities. To increase comparability, 2019 free cash flow has been adjusted to include cash outflows of acquisition of licensed copyrights, which is presented on the same basis as 2020 and going forward.
