Unity revealed its financial earnings for the fourth quarter of 2022 this week. According to the company\u2019s results, it had a profitable quarter for the first time as a public company. It also posted $451 million in revenue for the quarter, as well as $1.39 billion for the full fiscal year. That said, its future earnings projections disappointed analysts who had more robust expectations for this coming year.<\/p>\n
According to Unity, it\u2019s revenue for the fourth quarter grew by 43% year-on-year for the quarter, and 25% year-on-year versus 2021. Of its two divisions, Unity\u2019s Create Solutions grew 41% year-on-year with $198 million in, while Grow Solutions grew 12% year-on-year with $253 million. The company also reported that its quarterly profits came in ahead of estimates from its previous quarter.<\/p>\n
Unity\u2019s weaknesses and stock price fall<\/h2>\n
However, the results were not all favorable. Unity admitted in its shareholder letter that the mobile ad market was weak in 2022. Its shareholder letter says in-game ad market \u201cdeclined year-over-year in the third and fourth quarters as some in-game publishers became more conservative with their advertising spending as economies softened.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis Felipe Visoso, Unity\u2019s CFO, also mentioned January\u2019s layoffs<\/a>. These layoffs, which affected almost 300 employees, were the second round in six months. The company also laid off over 200 employees last June<\/a> as part of a quest to \u201crealign some of our resources to better drive focus and support our long-term growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Visoso said in the call that the January layoffs were part of an overall cost-cutting effort, adding they were \u201cbeing very selective in any future new hires that we add to the company, being more focused in our investments and reducing the number of beds that we make at Unity, raising the bar on cost, and we\u2019ve been turning every stone once or twice and finding new opportunities in a few places.\u201d<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s stock also dipped after the earnings reveal, due to it cutting its revenue expectations for the first quarter of 2023. Specifically, it expects revenues between $470 and $480 million. According to MarketWatch<\/a>, some analysts had estimated revenue closer to $521 million, about 10% higher than Unity\u2019s projections. Unity shares dropped almost 20% the day it announced its financial results.<\/p>\n
