Zynga Announces Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zynga Inc. (NASDAQ:ZNGA), a leading social game developer, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016. In addition to today’s press release, a copy of our Q2 2016 Quarterly Earnings Letter, which outlines our Q2 2016 financial results and business outlook, is available on our website at http://investor.zynga.com. Zynga management will host a live Q&A session at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) today, August 4, to discuss Zynga’s Q2 2016 performance.

“We are continuing to make great progress in our turnaround. Our Q2 bookings and Adjusted EBITDA were both above the high end of our guidance range, with bookings at $175 million and Adjusted EBITDA at $12 million. In Q2, we launched 4 new games, including the successful release of NaturalMotion’s highly anticipated CSR2. Our top live services saw growth, with Words With Friends, Social Slots and Zynga Poker delivering strong results this quarter. We are tightening our operating model and improving our cost management as we do more with less, particularly in marketing. While we have more work to do in our turnaround, I am encouraged to see the momentum we feel in our products and company show up in our results,” said Frank Gibeau, CEO of Zynga.

  • For the first and second quarter of 2016, Rising Tide games (Black Diamond Casino and Vegas Diamond Slots) and Zindagi legacy games (Yummy Gummy and Crazy Kitchen) are excluded from MUUs, MUPs and payer conversion.

 (2) In the third quarter of 2015, Zynga made a modification to its calculation of MUU to further reduce duplication. MUU for the second quarter of 2015 has been revised to reflect the Zynga’s current calculation.

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Summary

Key Operating Metrics

We manage our business by tracking several operating metrics: “DAUs,” which measure daily active users of our games, “MAUs,” which measure monthly active users of our games, “MUUs,” which measure monthly unique users of our games, “MUPs,” which measure monthly unique payers in our games, and “ABPU,” which measures our average daily bookings per average DAU, each of which is recorded by our internal analytics systems. The numbers for these operating metrics are calculated using internal company data based on tracking of user account activity. We also use third party network logins to help us track whether a player logged under two or more different user accounts is the same individual. We believe that the numbers are reasonable estimates of our user base for the applicable period of measurement; however, factors relating to user activity and systems may impact these numbers.

Please refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and, when filed, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, for our definitions of “DAU,” “MAU,” “MUU,” “MUP” and “ABPU”.

MUUs, MUPs and payer conversion in this press release exclude Rising Tide games (Black Diamond Casino and Vegas Diamond Slots) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and exclude Rising Tide games (Black Diamond Casino and Vegas Diamond Slots) and Zindagi legacy games for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as our systems are unable to distinguish whether a player of these games is also a player of other Zynga games. We exclude players of these games to avoid potential duplication.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including those statements relating to our outlook for the third quarter of 2016 under the heading “Third Quarter Outlook” and statements relating to, among other things: our continuing to make great progress in our turnaround; and our ability to tighten our operating model and improve our cost management as we do more with less, particularly in marketing.

Forward-looking statements often include words such as “outlook,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “might,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “believe,” “may,” “target,” “expect,” or similar expressions, the negative or plural of these words or expressions and statements in the future tense are generally forward-looking. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. More information about factors that could affect our operating results is included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and, when filed, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2016, copies of which may be obtained by visiting our Investor Relations web site at http://investor.zynga.com or the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) web site at www.sec.gov. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements in this press release, which are based on information available to us on the date hereof. There is no guarantee that the circumstances described in our forward-looking statements will occur. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. The results we report in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2016 could differ from the preliminary results we have announced in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided in this press release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including bookings, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), free cash flow, non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and non-GAAP diluted share count, to supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (our “GAAP financial statements”). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results to assess operational performance and liquidity. Our non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our GAAP financial statements. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics we use in making operating decisions and because our investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of our business. In line with our historical practice, the financial information presented herein is provided on a supplemental, non-GAAP basis unless otherwise indicated. We have provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in (i) this press release announcing our financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2016 (which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on August 4, 2016, a copy of which may be obtained by visiting our Investor Relations web site at http://investor.zynga.com or the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov), (ii) when filed, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a copy of which may be obtained by visiting our Investor Relations web site at http://investor.zynga.com or the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, and (iii) our second quarter of 2016 earnings slides presentation, dated August 4, 2016, a copy of which may be obtained by visiting our Investor Relations web site at http://investor.zynga.com and (iv) our second quarter of 2016 shareholder letter, dated August 4, 2016, a copy of which may be obtained by visiting our Investor Relations web site at http://investor.zynga.com.

Some limitations of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release:

  • Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) do not include the impact of stock-based expense, acquisition-related transaction expenses, contingent consideration fair value adjustments and restructuring expense;
  • Bookings, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) do not reflect that we defer and recognize online game revenue and revenue from certain advertising transactions over the estimated average life of durable virtual goods or as virtual goods are consumed;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense and does not include other income (expense) net, which includes foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, while non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions. Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future; and
  • Free cash flow is derived from net cash provided by operating activities less cash spent on capital expenditures and acquisitions, and removing the excess income tax benefits or costs associated with stock-based awards.

Because of these limitations, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release with our GAAP financial statements. See the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations in this press release and in the places listed above for further details.

Key Financial Metrics

We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key financial and operating metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions.

Bookings. Bookings is a non-GAAP financial measure that is equal to revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred revenue during the period. We record the sale of virtual goods as deferred revenue and then recognize that revenue over the estimated average life of the purchased virtual goods or as the virtual goods are consumed. Advertising sales, which consist of certain branded virtual goods and sponsorships, are also deferred and recognized over the estimated average life of the branded virtual good, similar to online game revenue. Bookings, as opposed to revenue, is the fundamental top-line metric we use to manage our business, as we believe it is a useful indicator of the sales activity in a given period. Over the long term, the factors impacting our bookings and revenue are the same. However, in the short term, there are factors that may cause revenue to exceed or be less than bookings in any period. We use bookings to evaluate the results of our operations, generate future operating plans and assess the performance of our company.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted for provision for (benefit from) income taxes; other income (expense), net; interest income; gain (loss) from significant legal settlements; restructuring expense, net; depreciation and amortization; impairment of intangible assets; stock-based expense; contingent consideration fair value adjustments; acquisition-related transaction expenses, and change in deferred revenue. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
