Zynga Earnings Report

Record Revenue and Strong User Growth!
But Falls Slightly On Net Loss of $122 Million!

Mobile game-maker Zynga Inc (NASDAQ: ZNGA), which is heavily into acquisitions this year, has started to pay off, showing up in third-quarter results the company announced late Wednesday.

Zynga Earnings Report…..

Zynga's revenue grew to a record $503 million (up 46% year-over-year) in the third quarter, with bookings of $627.96 million (up 59%), according to its latest earnings report.

This compares to year-ago revenues of $394.81 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.

Zynga also had its best mobile daily active user (31 million) and monthly active user (83 million) numbers in six years.

But, Zynga earnings also reported a net loss of $122 million. That compares to net income of $230 million during the same period last year, though that was boosted by the sale of Zynga's building in San Francisco.

During the third quarter, Zynga also closed its acquisition of Istanbul-based hyper-casual game publisher Rollic.

This caused the company to drop by about 5% at one stage before closing the after-hours trading down only 1.26%.

Zynga shares have risen 61% since the beginning of the year. In the final minutes of trading on Wednesday, shares hit $9.87, a rise of 58% in the last 12 months.
