加利福尼亚库尔弗城2024年5月16日 /美通社/ -- 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3月31日的第一季度的财务业绩。
蜗牛游戏联席首席执行官Tony Tian评论道："能够担任蜗牛公司的联席首席执行官，我感到非常激动和荣幸。这家公司拥有才华横溢的团队、突破性的技术以及如方舟系列的标志性游戏，该游戏系列在全球范围内孕育了热情的游戏玩家社区。作为一名热忱的方舟玩家，我深切的理解并欣赏这些创意和创新。我为蜗牛游戏的美好未来充满期待，也期待与充满激情，才华和奉献精神的团队共事。"
2024年第一季度业务亮点：
- 方舟：生存飞升(ARK: Survival Ascended)。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修改系统，开启了创造力的新时代。
- 自游戏推出以来，方舟：生存飞升已售出 约200 万套，且日均活跃用户（"DAUs"）达 12.1 万，最高达 30.8 万。
- 在2024年第一季度，公司在PC平台上推出了高级游戏模组，并计划在未来几个月内将高级游戏模组的可用性扩展到其他平台。
- 方舟：生存进化（ARK: Survival Evolved）。在截至2024年3月31日的三个月，方舟：生存进化的日均活跃用户为13.3万。
- 方舟：生存进化2024 年第一季度的销量约为 60 万套。
净收入截至2024年3月31日三个月为1,410万美元，而同比截至2023年3月31日三个月为1,350万美元。净收入的增加主要是由于方舟游戏的总销售额增加了510万美元，之前递延的和解相关的收入增加了120万美元，以及公司其他游戏销售额增加的70万美元，部分被方舟手游销售额减少的60万美元，与方舟系列相关的递延收入增加的550万美元所抵消。
净亏损截至2024年3月31日三个月为180万美元，而同比截至2023年3月31日三个月的净亏损为300万美元。净亏损的减少由于净收入增加60万美元，一般和行政费用减少220万美元，以及公司其他收入增加20万美元，部分被研发费用增加的40万美元、收入成本增加的120万美元以及所得税减少30万美元所抵消。
订购额（Bookings）截至2024年3月31日三个月为1,960万美元，而同比截至2023年3月31日三个月为1,330万美元。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。除方舟：生存飞升的销售额增加外，公司在截至2024年3月31日的三个月因尚未发布的方舟：生存飞升的DLC扩展包递延了约550万美元的收入。
息税折旧摊销前利润（"EBITDA"）截至2024年3月31日三个月为亏损190万美元，较同比截至2023年3月31日三个月的亏损340万美元有所减少。减少的主要原因是净亏损减少了120万美元，以及所得税优惠减少了30万美元。
截至2024年3月31日，未受限制的现金为1,610万美元。
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。
