BEIJING,Aug. 22,2024 -- Baidu,Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888 (HKD Counter) and 89888 (RMB Counter)),("Baidu" or the "Company"),a leading AI company with strong Internet foundation,today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30,2024.

"AI Cloud continued to accelerate in the second quarter,offsetting the ongoing macro headwinds for online marketing revenue and resulting in modestly positive topline growth for Baidu Core. Operationally,we fast-tracked the renovation of Baidu search,which we believe will drive long-term success despite the short-term impact on monetization. We also achieved new breakthroughs with Apollo Go,which now offers100% fully driverless ride-hailing services in practically the entire Wuhan municipality,and has started scalable testing of the latest RT6 vehicles," said Robin Li,Co-founder and CEO of Baidu. "Gradually,the transformative impact of Gen-AI and foundation models is becoming more tangible in business and everyday life. Throughout all layers of our AI technology stack and with the rapid adoption of applications built on top of ERNIE,we are scaling AI to address real-world problems and generate substantial value both for external customers and our own product portfolio."

"Aswespeeded up the AI-native transformation of our products in the second quarter,we continued to optimize our operations and maintained a healthy margin," said Rong Luo,CFO of Baidu. "For AI Cloud in particular,we expect growth to maintain a strong momentum."

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 non-cash charges or non-operating 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 income represents operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses,and amortization and impairment of intangible assets resulting from business combinations.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to Baidu represents net income attributable to Baidu excluding share-based compensation expenses,amortization and impairment of intangible assets resulting from business combinations,disposal gain,impairment of long-term investments,and fair value gain (loss) of long-term investments,adjusted for related income tax effects. Baidu's share of equity method investments for these non-GAAP reconciling items,amortization and impairment of intangible assets not on the investees' books,accretion of their redeemable non-controlling interests,and the gain or loss associated with the issuance of shares by the investees at a price higher or lower than the carrying value per share,adjusted for related income tax effects,are also excluded.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS represents diluted earnings per ADS calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to Baidu,by the weighted average number of ordinary shares expressed in ADS. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income excluding depreciation,and share-based compensation expenses.
