Baidu Announces Third Quarter 2017 Results
BEIJING, China, October 26, 2017 – Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU) (“Baidu” or the “Company”), the leading Chinese language Internet search provider, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 20171.
“In the third quarter, we made good progress in our strategic pillars to strengthen our mobile foundation and lead in AI,” said Robin Li, Baidu’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “On strengthening our mobile foundation, our strategy to leverage Baidu’s leading AI technologies to increase the user scale and user stickiness of Mobile Baidu is showing measurable results. On our AI initiatives, we continue to focus on developing platforms for smart device and autonomous driving markets, as well as leveraging AI into vertical sectors, such as financial services.”
“We drove product innovation in our core business to strengthen our user and customer value proposition and made progress in our AI-enabled businesses,” said Qi Lu, Baidu’s Chief Operating Officer. “We continue to solidify the foundation of our AI platforms and grow our partner and developer ecosystems. iQIYI also continued to lead the online video industry, off the back of highly successful self-produced content.”
“We delivered solid financial results in the third quarter with top line increasing 29% year over year and operating profit growing 69% year over year,” said Herman Yu, Chief Financial Officer of Baidu. “In the third quarter, we also spun off Baidu Deliveries, as part of a year-long strategy to free up the company’s resources and management attention to focus on AI and projects with strong synergy that will optimize Baidu’s long term value.”

| 2 | Non-GAAP net income attributable to Baidu represents net income attributable to Baidu excluding share-based compensation expenses and the gain or loss associated with the issuance of the shares by our equity method investees at a price higher or lower than our carrying value per share. |

| 4 | The number of active online marketing customers and revenue per online active customer exclude our group-buying and delivery related businesses for consistency with previous reporting. |
Research and development expenses were RMB 3.2 billion ($487 million), representing a 24% increase from the corresponding period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to the growth of research and development personnel-related costs.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Baidu’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Baidu uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP net income attributable to Baidu, non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Baidu believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its recurring core business operating results, such as operating performance excluding not only non-cash charges, but also other items that are infrequent or unusual in nature. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Baidu’s historical performance and liquidity. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are 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 these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures 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. These non-GAAP financial measures 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.
Non-GAAP operating profit represents operating profit excluding share-based compensation expenses.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to Baidu represents net income attributable to Baidu excluding share-based compensation expenses and the gain or loss associated with the issuance of shares by Baidu’s equity method investees at a price higher or lower than the carrying value per share.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS represents diluted earnings per ADS calculated based on non-GAAP net income attributable to Baidu.
Adjusted EBITDA represents operating profit excluding depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation expenses.
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
