Live Conference Call to be Held at 9:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time on May 10, 2021

BEIJING, China, May 11, 2021 - Phoenix New Media Limited (NYSE: FENG) ('Phoenix New Media', 'ifeng' or the 'Company'), a leading new media company in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Mr. Shuang Liu, CEO of Phoenix New Media, commented, 'During the first quarter of 2021, we adapted to the evolving advertising landscape and implemented active measures to increase user traffic, enhance user engagement, and improve user retention. Those measures include producing more exclusive, premium, and original content, leveraging social media distribution to reach a broader audience, and augmenting our premium content pool operations. In addition, we continued to explore new business initiatives to diversify our revenue sources and increase our ability to manage macro risks. Going forward, we will continue to focus on fortifying our leadership in news reporting, expanding our new media influence to build a solid foundation for sustainable growth. We seek to leverage our core competencies to capitalize on emerging opportunities as the economy recovers in 2021.'

Mr. Edward Lu, CFO of Phoenix New Media, further stated, 'Certain segment of our advertising business experienced continued pressure during the first quarter of 2021, thus causing our net advertising revenue to decline slightly year over year. However, thanks to our continued efforts in diversifying our revenue streams, the growth in our paid services revenues partially offset the decline in our net advertising revenues. This led to our total revenues remaining relatively steady on a year-over-year basis. Going forward, we believe that the recovery of our brand advertising business, combined with the progress we have achieved in various new business initiatives, is setting the stage for a revitalization of our future growth.'

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ('GAAP'), Phoenix New Media Limited uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income or loss from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited, non-GAAP net margin from continuing operations and non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations per diluted ADS, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP income or loss from operations is income or loss from operations excluding share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income or loss from operations divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited is net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited excluding share-based compensation, impairment of goodwill, income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairment, gain on disposal of available-for-sale debt investments and changes in fair value of forward contract in relation to disposal of investments in Particle. Non-GAAP net margin from continuing operations is non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations per diluted ADS is non-GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by weighted average number of diluted ADSs. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the aforementioned non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with the related GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that using these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business allows both management and investors to assess the Company's performance against its competitors and ultimately monitor its capacity to generate returns for investors. The Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of items like share-based compensation, income or loss from equity method investments, net of impairment, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring items, and without the effect of impairment of goodwill, gain on disposal of available-for-sale debt investments and changes in fair value of forward contract in relation to disposal of investments in Particle which have been significant and one-time items. However, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's gross profit, income or loss from operations and net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the period. In addition, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as an alternative to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
