“We are pleased to announce our third quarter results which exceeded our expectations,” commented Mr. Michael Chi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Perfect World. “During the quarter, we launched a number of expansion packs for our existing games. ‘Zhu Xian 2.0 Special Edition’ is an example of a successful expansion pack that we launched, and we’re optimistic about its contribution to the business moving forward. We will continue to lengthen the life cycle of our games by dedicating more resources to creating larger, more innovative expansion packs.”

“Shortly following the quarter end, we successfully launched our first 2D turn-based MMORPG, ‘Fantasy Zhu Xian.’ ‘Fantasy Zhu Xian’ has drawn a lot of interest since its launch and is a testament to our ability to leverage our strong 3D development capabilities and operating platform to effectively penetrate the 2D market. We believe its innovative features and the strong branding of our ‘Zhu Xian’ franchise will help us successfully push this game into lower tier cities.”

“We keep strengthening our competitive advantages in our industry by strategically crafting a highly diversified portfolio of truly differentiated games. We have a rich pipeline of six games that span the 3D, 2.5D and 2D market segments. By utilizing our specialized game engines and production studios, we are building a variety of franchises that include flagship titles in each of these individual market segments.”

“We continue to make progress overseas and remain a leader in the Chinese online game export market in terms of revenues and geographic coverage. During the quarter, we successfully launched our first 2.5D mysterious adventure MMORPG ‘Battle of the Immortals’ in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, through our overseas partner. We also launched some of our other games to various international markets through several operators and signed new licensing agreements with our overseas partners. We have been quite happy with our progress in this area so far and we plan to continue to expand our global network.”

“This quarter, we also released the first movie that was produced by our subsidiary, Beijing Perfect World Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. (‘PW Cultural’). The release was a success, and more importantly, it allowed us to distinctively promote our corporate brand and co-promote our games. This was a good start and we expect PW Cultural to capture the growth of the broader entertainment industry, while generating valuable synergies with our core business through content generation and co-promotion in the future.”

“We are fully committed to producing differentiated games in the 3D, 2.5D and 2D game markets. And we are confident in our ability to raise and maintain our game players’ interest in both new and existing games, thanks to our proprietary technology, the creativity of our R&D team and our strong operating platform. With our proven execution capabilities, we aim to sustain the stable growth of our Company and maximize shareholder value.”

The average revenue per active paying customer (ARPU) for games operated in mainland China under the item-based revenue model was RMB266 in 3Q09, as compared to RMB237 in 2Q09 and RMB196 in 3Q08. While ACU and APC decreased by 6.3% and 12.5% from 2Q09, which was mainly due to adverse seasonality factors affecting certain games, the Company still managed to increase ARPU by 12.2% from 2Q09 through a series of successful promotions and the launch of new expansion packs.

Overseas licensing revenues were RMB58.8 million (USD8.6 million) in 3Q09, as compared to RMB46.2 million in 2Q09 and RMB57.3 million in 3Q08. The increase from 2Q09 was mainly due to the successful launch of “Battle of the Immortals” and “Pocketpet Journey West” in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau through local operators.

Film and television revenues were RMB45.3 million (USD6.6 million) in 3Q09, as compared to Nil in 2Q09 and Nil in 3Q08. All the film and television revenues recognized in 3Q09 were related to the movie “Sophie’s Revenge” that was released in August 2009.

The online game related cost was RMB68.0 million (USD10.0 million) in 3Q09, as compared to RMB66.8 million in 2Q09 and RMB47.3 million in 3Q08. Starting from August 2009, Beijing Perfect World Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“PW Network”), the Company’s controlled entity, is subject to a 5.5% business tax and related tax in lieu of VAT. Previously, PW Network was subject to 17% VAT for the revenues from online game business in the PRC and 10% surcharge of payable VAT, and was entitled to a 14% VAT refund which expires at the end of 2010.

The film and television cost was RMB27.0 million (USD4.0 million) in 3Q09, as compared to Nil in 2Q09 and Nil in 3Q08. All the film and television cost recognized in 3Q09 was related to the movie “Sophie’s Revenge.”

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was RMB495.0 million (USD72.5 million) in 3Q09, an increase of 8.9%, or RMB40.4 million, from RMB454.5 million in 2Q09, and an increase of 48.0%, or RMB160.4 million, from RMB334.5 million in 3Q08. Gross margin was 83.9% in 3Q09, as compared to 87.2% in 2Q09 and 87.6% in 3Q08.

Table of Contents

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 21.0%, or RMB15.3 million, from RMB72.7 million in 2Q09 to RMB88.0 million (USD12.9 million) in 3Q09. This was largely due to an increase in advertising and promotional expenses associated with the launch of “Zhu Xian 2.0 Special Edition” expansion pack, expenses related to attending a nationwide industrial exhibition in 3Q09, and the promotional expenses associated with the release of the movie “Sophie’s Revenge.”

R&D expenses increased by 10.0%, or RMB6.5 million, from RMB65.0 million in 2Q09 to RMB71.5 million (USD10.5 million) in 3Q09. The increase from 2Q09 was primarily due to an increase in staff costs.

General and administrative expenses increased by 1.8%, or RMB0.7 million, from RMB37.2 million in 2Q09 to RMB37.8 million (USD5.5 million) in 3Q09.

Operating Profit

Operating profit was RMB297.7 million (USD43.6 million) in 3Q09, an increase of 6.4%, or RMB18.0 million, from RMB279.7 million in 2Q09, and an increase of 48.8%, or RMB97.7 million, from RMB200.0 million in 3Q08. Non-GAAP operating profit was RMB317.9 million (USD46.6 million) in 3Q09, an increase of 6.0%, or RMB17.9 million, from RMB300.0 million in 2Q09, and an increase of 49.0%, or RMB104.5 million, from RMB213.4 million in 3Q08.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was RMB11.1 million (USD1.6 million) in 3Q09, as compared to RMB19.8 million in 2Q09 and RMB8.8 million in 3Q08. Upon the expiration of the Company’s authorized ADS repurchase program in October 2009, the Board decided that the undistributed dividends of Beijing Perfect World Software Co., Ltd. (“PW Software”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, will be re-invested and that PW Software will not declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As such, the Company ceased the accrual of withholding tax on earnings of PW Software. This caused a decrease of income tax expense compared with 2Q09.

Net Income attributable to the Company’s shareholders

Net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders was RMB288.3 million (USD42.2 million) in 3Q09, an increase of 9.8%, or RMB25.7 million, from RMB262.6 million in 2Q09, and an increase of 45.0%, or RMB89.5 million, from RMB198.8 million in 3Q08. Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders was RMB308.5 million (USD45.2 million) in 3Q09, an increase of 9.1%, or RMB25.7 million, from RMB282.9 million in 2Q09, and an increase of 45.4%, or RMB96.4 million, from RMB212.2 million in 3Q08.

Basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB5.83 (USD0.85) and RMB5.50 (USD0.81), respectively, in 3Q09, as compared to RMB5.21 and RMB4.94, respectively, in 2Q09, and RMB3.53 and RMB3.34, respectively, in 3Q08. Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB6.24 (USD0.91) and RMB5.88 (USD0.86), respectively, in 3Q09, as compared to RMB5.61 and RMB5.32, respectively, in 2Q09, and RMB3.77 and RMB3.56, respectively, in 3Q08.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had RMB1,194.0 million (USD174.9 million) of cash and cash equivalents, as compared to RMB945.7 million as of June 30, 2009. The increase was mainly due to net cash inflow generated from the Company’s online game operations.

Recent Development

Open Beta Testing for “Fantasy Zhu Xian”

The Company launched open beta testing for “Fantasy Zhu Xian,” the Company’s first 2D turn-based MMORPG on October 22, 2009.

Business Outlook

Based on the Company’s current operations, total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 are expected to be between RMB578 million and RMB602 million, representing a decline of 2% to an increase of 2% on a sequential basis and an increase of 38% to 44% on a year-over-year basis. This reflects the expected growth from the Company’s existing games and the anticipated contribution from the newly launched “Fantasy Zhu Xian.” It also takes into consideration that the Company does not expect to release any movie in 4Q09.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders and non-GAAP earnings per ADS by excluding share-based compensation charge from operating profit, net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders and earnings per ADS, respectively. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand the Company’s operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and access the Company’s core operating results, as they exclude certain expenses that are not expected to result in cash payments. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Share-based compensation charge has been and will be incurred and is not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures. It should be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. None of the non-GAAP measures is a measure of net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, operating profit, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our share-based compensation charge in our reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are set forth at the end of this release.
