 Changyou.com is a China-based developer and operator of online games – including its 2-D martial arts saga, Tian
 Long Ba Bu. The company reported revenue growth of 26% Y/Y in the third quarter, with revenue coming in at $68.7
 million. Key operating metrics, which provide read-across colour on the state of broader gaming economics, include:
 registered accounts, up 46% Y/Y to 75.1 million; active paying accounts, up 20% Y/Y to 2.4 million; and average
 revenue per paying account, up 7% Y/Y to RMB190 (approximately US$28). Management guidance for $69-$71
 million in revenue in Q4 is inline with analyst estimates.

 Sohu, another Chinese-based company that provides online portals in the People’s Republic of China, which include
 news, entertainment, and online gaming (through the recently spun-out Changyou.com which was previously its online
 gaming division), reported revenue growth of 13% Y/Y to $136.6 million. Gaming revenue grew 26% Y/Y, while
 advertising revenue declined 2% Y/Y (as a result of challenging comparisons against the third quarter last year in
 which advertising spending boomed ahead of the Beijing Olympics). Guidance for Q4 revenue of $134.5-$138.5
 million is slightly below analyst consensus of $141.7 million, implying between 11% and 14% Y/Y growth for the
 quarter.

 Watercooler, maker of online fan communities and sports-related social games, which boasts 26 million users
 primarily on Facebook and six other social networks, raised $5.5 million. Adding intrigue to the deal is the fact that
 Betfair, the legal online gambling site for horse racing, led the transaction. W e view the participation of Betfair as
 indicative of the attractiveness of online social gaming – indeed, with Betfair unable to operate its core business in
 the U.S. due to legal restrictions, an investment in W atercooler may represent a strategy that (1) brings the company
 closer to the lucrative U.S. market, and (2) brings social network-based gaming expertise into the company fold.

 Social Networks the most active sector: Social Networks experienced the most financing activity among our W eb 2.0
 sector categories in the past three months by number of transactions (11). Advertising continues to be among the highest
 activity sectors with 10 deals in the past quarter. Gaming follows with nine transactions followed by Video (6) (Figure 4).

 Web 2.0 index continues to outpace NASDAQ recovery: Our W eb 2.0 index (market-cap weighted) essentially mirrored
 the performance of the NASDAQ composite index from mid-2008 until Q1/09. Since then, the index has diverged in a much
 stronger recovery relative to the NASDAQ index (Figure 5).

  • 1. SOFTWARE & SERVICES 27 OCTOBER 2009 DAVID SHORE, CFA, MBA 416.860.6784 WEB 2.O WEEKLY david.shore@researchcapital.com Damian Wojcichowsky, CFA (Associate), 416.860.7652 EARNINGS RO UND-UP: WEB 2.0 EARNINGS SEASON BEGINS GAM IN G CO M PA NI E S KI C K OF F E AR NI NG S SE A S O N I N T H E W E B 2 .0 U NI V E R SE … Changyou.com is a China-based developer and operator of online games – including its 2-D martial arts saga, Tian Long Ba Bu. The company reported revenue growth of 26% Y/Y in the third quarter, with revenue coming in at $68.7 million. Key operating metrics, which provide read-across colour on the state of broader gaming economics, include: registered accounts, up 46% Y/Y to 75.1 million; active paying accounts, up 20% Y/Y to 2.4 million; and average revenue per paying account, up 7% Y/Y to RMB190 (approximately US$28). Management guidance for $69-$71 million in revenue in Q4 is inline with analyst estimates. Sohu, another Chinese-based company that provides online portals in the People’s Republic of China, which include news, entertainment, and online gaming (through the recently spun-out Changyou.com which was previously its online gaming division), reported revenue growth of 13% Y/Y to $136.6 million. Gaming revenue grew 26% Y/Y, while advertising revenue declined 2% Y/Y (as a result of challenging comparisons against the third quarter last year in which advertising spending boomed ahead of the Beijing Olympics). Guidance for Q4 revenue of $134.5-$138.5 million is slightly below analyst consensus of $141.7 million, implying between 11% and 14% Y/Y growth for the quarter. … AN D SM AL L E R S OC IA L G AMI NG D E V EL O P ER S GE T I N ON T H E A CT I O N Watercooler, maker of online fan communities and sports-related social games, which boasts 26 million users primarily on Facebook and six other social networks, raised $5.5 million. Adding intrigue to the deal is the fact that Betfair, the legal online gambling site for horse racing, led the transaction. W e view the participation of Betfair as indicative of the attractiveness of online social gaming – indeed, with Betfair unable to operate its core business in the U.S. due to legal restrictions, an investment in W atercooler may represent a strategy that (1) brings the company closer to the lucrative U.S. market, and (2) brings social network-based gaming expertise into the company fold. F IN AL L Y – H AL L O W EE N S E EM S T O HA V E SC A RE D OF F I N V E ST O R S Deal flow slowed down to four transactions in the week – a week which saw 31 of 56 companies in our W eb 2.0 public comparables list (trading above $1 minimum) experience price declines in the market. Average deal size in the quarter dropped from $7.8 million last week to $7.6 million currently.
