The company expects first-quarter revenues between $315 million and $320 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $320.59 million, indicating an increase of 36.56% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus mark for loss has remained unchanged at 8 cents per share in the past 30 days. Unity had reported a loss of 10 cents in the year-ago quarter.
Unity’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 32.14%, on average.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement:
Factors Likely to Influence Q1 Results
Unity’s first-quarter top line is expected to have benefited from robust demand for its software solutions from content creators like game developers, architects, automotive designers and filmmakers. Growing momentum in the Operate Solutions business is likely to have served as a key catalyst.
Unity has been expanding its platform by introducing new product capabilities, which is likely to have been a major growth driver.
Steady demand for interactive, real-time 2D and 3D content for mobile phones, tablets, PCs and virtual reality devices is likely to have aided the company’s top line.
The momentum is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter, primarily on strong adoption of the company’s subscription-based Create Solutions and Operate Solutions.
Acquisitions like Parsec and SyncSketch, which enables cloud-based, secure collaboration between separated creators and artists, are expected to have driven top-line growth.
