Solid Q3 results. Total company revenue was $110.7 million, which beat our $103.0 million estimate by 7.4%, and adj. EBITDA of $16.9 million, substantially exceeded our estimate of $4.9 million. The adj. EBITDA beat was largely attributed to the revenue upside and modestly lower game operating and marketing expenses. The strong operating results also beat Street estimates, with consensus adj. EBITDA of $8.5 million.
Attractive outlook. While revenue outperformed our expectations, bookings were lower than expected. Management highlighted its focus on player retention and quality of play rather than short term monetization of its user base. Given that active users were down roughly 16% from the prior year period, we view the company’s focus on player retention and improving gameplay favorably.
