Insights

PLAYSTUDIOS' Q2 2024 results reveal concerning trends. Revenue declined 6.7% year-over-year to $72.6 million, while net loss widened to $2.6 million from $0.8 million in Q2 2023. The deteriorating profitability is evident in the net loss margin increase from 1.0% to 3.6%.

The company's core social casino portfolio is facing persistent industry weakness, which is expected to continue throughout 2024. This has led to a downward revision in full-year guidance, with revenues now projected at $285-295 million, down from $315-325 million. Consolidated AEBITDA forecast has also been lowered to $55-60 million from $65-70 million.

On a positive note, the casual portfolio grew by 10% year-over-year and Brainium's performance is improving. The company's strong balance sheet, with over $105 million in cash and no debt, provides some financial flexibility amidst challenging market conditions.

PLAYSTUDIOS' Q2 results highlight the ongoing challenges in the social casino sector. The company's strategic pivot towards diversification is evident in its acquisition of Pixode Games and the launch of new Tetris-branded games. These moves aim to reduce dependence on the struggling social casino market.

The introduction of the myVIP World Tournament of Slots with a $1 million top prize demonstrates an effort to boost player engagement and retention. This event, leveraging the playAWARDS loyalty platform, could potentially offset some of the revenue decline in the core portfolio.

However, the revised guidance suggests that these initiatives may not fully compensate for the industry headwinds in the near term. The company's focus on structural changes within games and the integration of the playAWARDS platform are long-term strategies that may take time to yield significant results.

PLAYSTUDIOS' Q2 performance reflects broader market trends in the mobile gaming industry. The decline in social casino revenues aligns with industry-wide challenges, likely due to increased competition and changing player preferences. However, the 10% growth in the casual portfolio indicates a shift in consumer behavior towards more diverse gaming experiences.

The company's strategic moves, including the Pixode acquisition and Tetris brand expansion, demonstrate an attempt to capitalize on emerging market opportunities. The focus on loyalty programs and high-stakes tournaments suggests a push towards creating a more engaging and sticky user experience, which could be important in retaining players in a competitive landscape.

The significant share buyback from Microsoft, while reducing potential market overhang, also signals management's confidence in the company's intrinsic value. This move, combined with ongoing product diversification efforts, may position PLAYSTUDIOS more favorably for future market conditions, despite current headwinds.

Second Quarter Revenue of $72.6 million and Net loss of $2.6 million

Consolidated AEBITDA of $14.1 million

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYPS) (“PLAYSTUDIOS” or the “Company”), an award-winning developer of free-to-play mobile and social games and the developer of the playAWARDS loyalty platform, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenue was $72.6 million during the second quarter of 2024, compared to $77.8 million during the second quarter of 2023.
Net loss was $2.6 million during the second quarter of 2024, representing a net loss margin of 3.6%, compared to net loss of $0.8 million during the second quarter of 2023, representing a net loss margin of 1.0%.
Consolidated AEBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $14.1 million during the second quarter of 2024, compared to $16.3 million during the second quarter of 2023.

Andrew Pascal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PLAYSTUDIOS, commented, “We had a busy and productive quarter completing many strategic initiatives that better position our company for future growth. While persistent industry weakness continues to be a challenge for our Social Casino portfolio, I believe we have opportunities in our portfolio that will eventually override this pressure. We have been steadily making progress on these efforts and continued to do so this quarter. Longer term, our focus remains on building a strong and durable business that can produce exceptional returns regardless of industry dynamics.”

He continued, “Quarterly revenues in our playGAMES division were down 4.6% vs. last year. Weakness in the social casino industry was the main driver of the shortfall with our core portfolio accounting for the majority of the year over year decline. We expect industry weakness to continue throughout the remainder of the year and have adjusted our full year outlook to reflect this. Despite the pressure, our focus remains on implementing structural changes within our games to improve their results regardless of how the industry performs. Our casual portfolio continued to perform strongly this quarter, growing year over year revenues by over 10%. The Tetris brand had its 40th anniversary in June and we celebrated with a refresh of Tetris Mobile and the limited release of a brand new game, Tetris Block Puzzle. Results at Brainium continue to trend strongly with ARPDAU rising on the back of new advertising initiatives.”

He added, “Consolidated AEBITDA and AEBITDA margins in the quarter were lower than a year ago due to the deleveraging effect of lower social casino revenues and the absence of a licensing deal that benefited second quarter 2023 results. With the expiration of the licensing agreement at the end of second quarter 2023, results will not be impacted by this comparability issue going forward. Consolidated AEBITDA and AEBITDA margins were higher in our growth portfolio with notable gains at Brainium. As implied in our revised guidance, we expect full year AEBITDA margins to be roughly flat with 2023 levels.”

Pascal further noted, “For playAWARDS, the focus remains on a full integration within our games. Where the platform is present, we’ve seen a marked increase in player engagement, retention, and monetization. The effect has further increased with the launch of myVIP World Tournament of Slots. This exciting campaign is just the latest way we are utilizing our industry leading loyalty platform to drive player excitement in our games.”

He concluded, “It was a significant quarter on the capital front as were able to purchase nearly 12 million of our shares from Microsoft Corporation. We were able to buy our stock at a meaningful discount to the average trading price and remove the potential overhang of a prolonged share sale. Combined with our open market purchases, we have bought back nearly 15% of our Class A shares in the past six quarters. This reflects our confidence in the intrinsic value of our company and highlights the undervaluation of our shares in the public markets. We believe this gap has never been higher than it is today. Despite the share purchase and the acquisition of Pixode, our balance sheet remains very strong with over $105 million in cash and no borrowings.”

Recent Business Highlights

Purchased 11.7 million shares of Class A common stock from Microsoft, or roughly 9% of our outstanding stock. The purchase was made at a discount to the average trading price and funded with available cash on hand.
Announced and completed the acquisition of Pixode Games Limited. Pixode is an Israeli based game studio that has developed a block puzzle game incorporating a unique raid-and-defend mechanic.
Celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Tetris brand with the refresh of our core Tetris game and the limited release of a new Tetris game, Tetris Block Puzzle.
Launched myVIP World Tournament of Slots, which will take place October 24-27 at the Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The tournament will feature 500 dedicated players competing for a top cash prize of $1.0 million.

Outlook

The company is revising its 2024 guidance to incorporate continued weakness in the broader social casino category. Revenues are projected to be in the range of $285 and $295 million compared to the prior outlook of $315 to $325 million. Consolidated AEBITDA is expected to be between $55 and $60 million vs. prior expectations of $65 and $70 million.

We have not provided the most directly comparable GAAP measure for our Consolidated AEBITDA outlook because certain items that are part of the projected non-GAAP financial measure are outside of our control or cannot be reasonably estimated without unreasonable effort.

Performance Indicators

We manage our business by regularly reviewing several key operating metrics to track historical performance, identify trends in player activity, and set strategic goals for the future. Our key performance metrics are impacted by several factors that could cause them to fluctuate on a quarterly basis, such as platform providers’ policies, seasonality, player connectivity, and the addition of new content to games. We believe these measures are useful to investors for the same reasons. The key performance indicators may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. For more information on our key performance indicators, please refer to the definitions below and the “Supplemental Data—Key Performance Indicators” section of this press release.

Daily Active Users (“DAU”): DAU is defined as the number of individuals who played a game on a particular day. We track DAU by the player ID, which is assigned for each game installed by an individual. As such, an individual who plays two different PLAYSTUDIOS games on the same day is counted as two DAU while an individual who plays the same PLAYSTUDIOS game on two different devices is counted as one DAU. Brainium tracks DAU by app instance ID, which is assigned to each installation of a game on a particular device. As such, an individual who plays two different Brainium games on the same day is counted as two DAU while an individual who plays the same game on two different devices is counted as two DAU. The term “Average DAU” is defined as the average of the DAU, determined as described above, for each day during the period presented. We use DAU and Average DAU as measures of audience engagement to help us understand the size of the active player base engaged with our games on a daily basis.

Monthly Active Users (“MAU”): MAU is defined as the number of individuals who played a game in a particular month. As with DAU, an individual who plays two different PLAYSTUDIOS games in the same month is counted as two MAU while an individual who plays the same game on two different devices is counted as one MAU, and an individual who plays two different Brainium games on the same day is counted as two MAU while an individual who plays the same game on two different devices is counted as two MAU. The term “Average MAU” is defined as the average of the MAU, determined as described above, for each calendar month during the period presented. We use MAU and Average MAU as measures of audience engagement to help us understand the size of the active player base engaged with our games on a monthly basis.

Daily Paying Users (“DPU”): DPU is defined as the number of individuals who made a purchase in a mobile game during a particular day. As with DAU and MAU, we track DPU based on account activity. As such, an individual who makes a purchase on two different games in a particular day is counted as two DPU while an individual who makes purchases in the same game on two different devices is counted as one DPU. The term “Average DPU” is defined as the average of the DPU, determined as described above, for each day during the period presented. We use DPU and Average DPU to help us understand the size of our active player base that makes in-game purchases. This focus directs our strategic goals in setting player acquisition and pricing strategy.

Daily Payer Conversion: Daily Payer Conversion is defined as DPU as a percentage of DAU on a particular day. Daily Player Conversion is also sometimes referred to as “Percentage of Paying Users” or “PPU”. The term “Average Daily Payer Conversion” is defined as the Average DPU divided by the Average DAU for a given period. We use Daily Payer Conversion and Average Daily Payer Conversion to help us understand the monetization of our active players.

Average Daily Revenue Per DAU (“ARPDAU”): ARPDAU is defined for a given period as the average daily revenue per Average DAU, and is calculated as game and advertising revenue for the period, divided by the number of days in the period, divided by the Average DAU during the period. We use ARPDAU as a measure of overall monetization of our active players.

playAWARDS Platform Metrics

Available Rewards: Available Rewards is defined as the monthly average number of unique rewards available in our applications’ rewards stores. A reward appearing in more than one application’s reward store is counted only once. A reward is counted only once irrespective of the inventory available through that reward. For example, one reward for a free night in a hotel room with ten rooms available for such free night is counted as one reward. Available Rewards only include real-world partner rewards and exclude PLAYSTUDIOS digital rewards. We use Available Rewards as a measure of the value and potential impact of the program for an interested player. It is assumed that the greater the variety and breadth of rewards offered, the more likely players will be to ascribe value to the program.

Purchases: Purchases is defined as the total number of rewards purchased for the period identified in which a player exchanges loyalty points for a reward. Purchases are net of refunds. Purchases only include purchases of real-world partner rewards and exclude any PLAYSTUDIOS digital rewards. Purchases are redeemed by the player directly with the rewards partner within the specified terms and conditions of the reward. The Company does not receive any compensation or revenue from Purchases. We use Purchases as a measure of audience interest and engagement with our playAWARDS platform.

Retail Value of Purchases: Retail Value of Purchases is defined as the cumulative retail value of all rewards listed as Purchases for the period identified. The retail value of each reward listed as Purchases is the retail value as determined by the partner upon creation of the reward. In the case where the retail value of a reward adjusts depending on time of redemption, the average retail value is used. Retail Value of Purchases only include the retail value of real-world partner rewards and exclude the cost of any PLAYSTUDIOS branded merchandise. We use Retail Value of Purchases to help us understand the real-world value of the rewards that are purchased by our players.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to results as determined by GAAP, the Company discloses Consolidated Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“Consolidated AEBITDA”) as a non-GAAP measure that management believes provides useful information to investors. This measure is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, net income or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We define Consolidated AEBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and related costs (consisting primarily of severance and other restructuring related costs), stock-based compensation expense, and other income and expense items (including special infrequent items, foreign currency gains and losses, and other non-cash items). We also present Consolidated AEBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate as Consolidated AEBITDA as a percentage of net revenue.

We believe that the presentation of Consolidated AEBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations because the measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Consolidated AEBITDA provides an indicator of performance that is not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items. Accordingly, management believes that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period, and management relies on this measure for planning and forecasting of future periods. Additionally, this measure allows management to compare results with those of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. However, other companies may define Consolidated AEBITDA differently, and as a result, our measure of Consolidated AEBITDA may not be directly comparable to that of other companies. For further information regarding these non-GAAP measures, including the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please refer to the “Reconciliation of Net Loss to Consolidated AEBITDA” section of this press release.
