New Development: Private Placement with IDG and Carlyle

The company today entered into memorandums of understanding ("MOUs") with IDG China Capital Fund III LLP ("IDG") and Carlyle Group (Carlyle) in which IDG, Carlyle, and the management (mainly founder and CEO Vincent Mo) will invest a total amount no more than US$1 billion (of which 50% will be convertible notes) to purchase the company's new Class A ordinary shares and convertible notes. Under the MOUs, The subscription price of the new Class A ordinary shares is US$7.45 per current ADS (i.e. US$37.25 per Class A ordinary share), which represents a 3% premium to the volume-weighted average trading price of the ADS for the 20 trading days preceding August 6, 2015 (inclusive, which was US$7.24 per ADS). Holders of the convertible notes will have the right to convert the Notes into Shares at the price per share equal to 122.5% of the per share purchase price of the new Class A ordinary shares in 7 years after the issuance of the Notes. The Notes shall bear an annual interest of 1.5%.

"The Q2 numbers showed that the company is quite on track in its transformation from a pure internet information platform to a more transaction oriented platform across new, resale, rental homes and home furnishing plus financial services among China's major cities." said Vincent Mo, Chairman and CEO of Fang.com. "We will continue our efforts in building up transaction teams, adding transaction model to more cities, and speeding up development of our technology platforms and tools to support the transformation. I am confident that with our expected funding from IDG and Carlyle, the company will move more aggressively and make its transformation successful."

Second Quarter 2015 Results

Revenues

SouFun reported total revenues of $210.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, representing an increase of 25.4% from $168.2 million for the corresponding period in 2014, primarily driven by the growth in e-commerce services, partially offset by the decline in marketing services and listing services.

Revenue from marketing services was $60.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of 18.4% from $74.3 million for the corresponding period in 2014, primarily due to less customers in the market.

Revenue from e-commerce services was $106.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, a 119.7% increase from $48.6 million for the same period in 2014, primarily due to the growth of the direct sales services for new homes and the growth of the real estate brokerage services, as well as rapid growth of the home decorating services.

Revenue from listing services was $34.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of 16.9% from $41.7 million for the corresponding period in 2014, primarily due to our reduction of unit price per paying subscriber, given that the number of paying subscribers has reached a record high as of Jun 30, 2015.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement SouFun's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), SouFun uses in this press release the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission: (1) non-GAAP operating income, (2) non-GAAP net income and (3) non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share and (4) adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.

SouFun believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to investors regarding its operating performance by excluding share-based compensation expenses and the related tax effects, realized gain on available-for-sale security, interest income and expenses, income tax expenses, and depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which (1) may not be indicative of SouFun's recurring core business operating results or (2) are not expected to result in future cash payments. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to SouFun's historical performance and assist its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that share-based compensation, interest income and expenses, income tax expenses, and depreciation expenses have been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense that will continue to exist in SouFun's business for the foreseeable future. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliation between non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
