- Monday, June 3, 3:22 PM More on Zynga: The company confirms the layoffs. Zynga is also warning its Q2 bookings will be in the low half of its guidance range of $180M-$190M - while the FarmVille franchise is still faring well, other games are underperforming. The company's Q2 revenue and EPS forecasts, and its 2013 adjusted EBITDA forecast, are reaffirmed. Zynga expects its layoffs to result in $24M-$26M in Q2 pre-tax charges, and $2M-$5M in Q3 pre-tax charges. Mark Pincus: "The scale that served us so well in building and delivering the leading social gaming service on the Web is now making it hard to successfully lead across mobile and multiplatform." Shares are halted. Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Wednesday, April 24, 6:20 PM Though Zynga (ZNGA) beat Q1 estimates thanks to strong FarmVille 2 bookings, its quarterly metrics help explain its poor Q2 guidance. Daily active users (DAUs) fell 8% Q/Q and 21% Y/Y in Q1 to 52M, after having fallen 6% Q/Q in Q4. Monthly active users fell 15% Q/Q and 13% Y/Y to 253M, monthly unique payers fell 14% Q/Q and 30% Y/Y to 2.5M, and average daily bookings per DAU fell 2% Q/Q and 11% Y/Y to $0.055. Cost controls are keeping Zynga from witnessing huge cash burn: R&D spend -31% Y/Y, sales/marketing -52%, G&A -41%. Only $2.5M worth of buybacks took place. Can real-money gambling help turn the tide? Shares -9.2% AH. (Q4 data) (PR) 1 Comment [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 24, 4:11 PM Zynga (ZNGA): Q1 EPS of $0.01 beats by $0.05. Bookings of $229.8M (-30% Y/Y) beats by $20M. Expects Q2 bookings of $180M-$190M and EPS of -$0.04 to -$0.03, below a consensus of $236.1M and -$0.01. Shares -13.4% AH. (PR) 5 Comments [Tech, Earnings, On the Move, Breaking News]
- Tuesday, February 5, 6:16 PM Fresh off a quarter where R&D spending fell 70% Y/Y, Zynga (ZNGA) is shuttering CityVille 2 and two other games. Not getting shuttered is FarmVille 2, which Zynga says exceeded expectations by 100% and will soon hit mobile devices. 72M of Zynga's 298M MAUs are mobile-only, and (like Facebook, Yahoo, etc.) a majority of workers are now focused on mobile. But Draw Something users continue to decline. Zynga Poker MAUs rose 8% Y/Y to 37M, and real-money gambling titles will be launched in partnership with bwin.party in 1H. Shares +5.8% AH.

- Tuesday, February 5, 4:28 PM More on Zynga's Q4: Monthly active users -4% Q/Q and +24% Y/Y to 298M. Daily active users -6% Q/Q and +3% Y/Y to 56M. Average daily bookings/user -6% Q/Q and -17% Y/Y to to $0.051. Monthly payers -2% Q/Q and -1% Y/Y to 2.9M. R&D expenses -70% Y/Y to $131.8M, contributing to a 66% drop in opex to $273.6M. Only 5M shares repurchased. $1.65B in cash/equivalents at end of Q4, up slightly from $1.6B at end of Q3. ZNGA +4.7% AH. BofA must be pleased. (PR) (slides) 1 Comment [Tech, Earnings]
- Tuesday, February 5, 4:08 PM Zynga (ZNGA): Q4 EPS of $0.01 beats by $0.04. Bookings of $261.3M (-15% Y/Y) beats by $50.2M. Expects Q1 bookings of $200M-$210M and EPS of -$0.05 to -$0.04, below consensus of $240M and -$0.01. Expects 2013 adjusted EBITDA margin of 0%-10%. Shares +5.5% AH. CC at 5PM ET (webcast).

- Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 6:02 PM Mark Pincus didn't mince words during Zynga's Q3 call: he admitted Zynga didn't innovate on content and features; that new games weren't introduced quickly enough; and that execution is to blame for Facebook gaming share losses. Several studio closures are part of Zynga's restructuring, as are plans to make more "high-engagement" mobile titles - mobile is now 20% of bookings. New video ad solutions (previous) are also on tap. ZNGA +13.2% AH. FB +1.3%, adding to the day's big gains. (live blog) (Q3 results: I, II) 4 Comments [Tech, Earnings]

Monthly unique payers were a mere 3M, -28% Q/Q (Draw Something is blamed). Average daily bookings/user were $0.047, -19% Y/Y and roughly flat Q/Q. Ad revenue +64% Y/Y but -24% Q/Q. R&D expenses +35% Y/Y and 61% of bookings (the job cuts might just be getting started). Zynga and bwin.party plan to launch 180 casino games in 1H. CC at 5PM ET (webcast). ZNGA +16% AH. (PR) Comment!

- Tuesday, October 23, 2012, 5:47 PM From Facebook's Q3 call and earnings slides: Instagram registered users surpass 100M, up from 27M at time of acquisition. Ad impressions +27% Y/Y, ad prices +7%. North America 50% of revenue, ad prices up sharply, offset some by lower impressions due to mobile shift. Ad prices fell in Europe, up slightly in Asia. North American ARPU still dwarfs that of faster-growing regions. News feed ads on $4M/day run rate, 3/4 of that from mobile. Zynga (ZNGA) was 43% of Payments revenue, down from 52% in Q2.

The company expects Q3 revenue to reach $300M-$305M (above a $275.9M consensus), but forecasts bookings will amount to just $250M-$255M. Zynga blames weakness in games within its web "invest and express" category (e.g. FarmVille, CityVille). Also, an $85M-$95M write-down is being taken on the OMGPOP acquisition.
