经讯加州卡尔弗城2024年8月14日 /经讯网/ — Snail, Inc. (纳斯达克股票代码: SNAL) (以下简称”蜗牛”或”公司”）是一家领先的全球独立开发商和发行商，专注于互动数字娱乐，今日宣布截至2024年6月30日的第二季度的财务业绩。
蜗牛游戏联席首席执行官Tony Tian评论道：”我非常荣幸能够与出色的团队一起领导蜗牛游戏，继续发扬公司卓越的创新和创造力传统。我们致力于为玩家提供卓越的游戏体验，正如方舟：生存飞升的成功推出所展示的那样，将继续推动蜗牛游戏取得未来的成功和胜利。展望未来，我们很高兴能够扩展我们的高级游戏模组的覆盖范围，并推出新的内容来取悦我们在全球范围内不断增长壮大的玩家群体。”
2024年第二季度业务亮点：
- 方舟：生存飞升(ARK: Survival Ascended)和方舟：生存进化（ARK: Survival Evolved）
- 2023年10月25日，公司利用虚幻引擎 5 的绝佳画质推出了方舟系列旗舰作品的重制版，并引入了改变游戏的跨平台模组系统，开启了创造力的新时代。
- 截至2024年6月30日的三个月和六个月期间，方舟：生存进化与方舟：生存飞升在Steam和Epic平台上的日均活跃用户数（DAUs）分别为218,241和213,690，而在2023年同期分别为240,522和258,235。
- 截至2024年6月30日，根据Steam平台数据，我们的方舟系列游戏时长已达37亿小时，每位用户平均游戏时长为161小时，其中21.1%的玩家游戏时长超过100小时。
- 自游戏推出以来，方舟：生存飞升已售出约250 万套，且日均活跃用户达 108,515，峰值为 307,875 。
- 方舟：生存进化在2024年第二季度的日均活跃用户数为131,927，销量约50万套。
- 2024年第二季度，公司成功推出了中世纪生存游戏Bellwright（颂钟长鸣）、方舟：生存飞升的Bob’s Tall Tales （鲍勃的奇谈）DLC扩展包以及方舟：生存飞升的POWER RANGERS （超凡战队）高级模组。此外，完整版DLC扩展包Scorched Earth（焦土）也面向所有方舟：生存飞升的玩家开放。
净收入截至2024年6月30日三个月为2,160万美元，而同比截至2023年6月30日三个月为990万美元。净收入的增加主要是由于方舟系列游戏的总销售额增加了1000万美元，而颂钟长鸣的发布使公司其他游戏销售额增加了390万美元，部分被方舟手游销售额减少的30万美元，与方舟系列相关的递延收入增加的190万美元所抵消。
净利润截至2024年6月30日三个月为230万美元，而同比截至2023年6月30日三个月的净亏损为410万美元。净利润的增加是由于净收入增加1,170万美元，一般和行政费用减少120万美元，以及公司其他收入（费用）增加50万美元，部分被研发费用增加的70万美元、广告和营销费用增加的50万美元、收入成本增加的420万美元以及所得税减少170万美元所抵消。
订购额（Bookings）截至2024年6月30日三个月为2,290万美元，而同比截至2023年6月30日三个月为930万美元。订购额的增加是由于方舟：生存飞升在2023年第四季度的强势发布，以及在2024年4月推出的鲍勃的奇谈扩展包和新游颂钟长鸣，以及方舟：生存飞升的焦土DLC扩展包。除上述游戏的销售额增加外，公司在截至2024年6月30日的三个月因尚未发布的方舟：生存飞升的DLC扩展包和部分的鲍勃的奇谈递延了约710万美元的收入；部分被焦土扩展包的发布所确认的560万美元收入所抵消。
息税折旧摊销前利润（”EBITDA“）截至2024年6月30日三个月为310万美元，而同比截至2023年6月30日三个月的亏损为480万美元。增加的主要原因是净利润增加了640万美元，以及所得税收益减少了170万美元。
截至2024年6月30日，未受限制的现金为1,550万美元。
非GAAP财务指标的使用
除了按照美国公认会计原则（GAAP）确定的财务结果外，蜗牛游戏认为，订购额（Bookings）和息税折旧摊销前利润(EBITDA)作为非GAAP指标，有助于评估其经营业绩。订购额和EBITDA是作为补充披露的非GAAP财务指标，不应被视为净利润（亏损）或收入这两个运营业绩指标的替代指标，也不应被视为衡量运营活动提供的现金流量的替代指标，两者均按照GAAP确定。蜗牛游戏补充呈现订购额和EBITDA，是为管理层用于评估财务业绩的关键运营指标。订购额调整了递延收入的影响，蜗牛游戏认为其提供了在给定时期内销售情况的有用指标。EBITDA调整了蜗牛游戏认为不反映其业务持续运营业绩的项目，例如某些非现金项目、不寻常或非经常性项目，或者期间内发生变化但对其运营业绩没有实质性关联的项目。管理层认为，订购额和EBITDA有助于投资者和分析师了解蜗牛游戏的关键经营业绩趋势，而其他指标可能因长期战略决策如资本结构、蜗牛游戏所在的税收管辖区和资本投资而产生差异。
订购额（Bookings）是指当期内以数字或实物方式销售的产品和服务的净额。订购额等于收入扣除递延的影响。以下是总净收入与订购额的调整，并是最接近GAAP的财务指标。
