“We are thrilled to announce another quarter of record revenues,” said SNAP’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Clifford Lerner. “This marks our 10th consecutive quarter of revenue growth, and we’ve already more than doubled our 2010 revenue total. Our priorities remain focused around growth on mobile platforms and implementing our long-term product roadmap. Although revenue opportunities on our mobile products are not currently as strong as they are on our Web-based products, we continue to pursue this course of action because we maintain a long-term view for SNAP. We believe this will better position us for long-term success as more and more Web browsing and online activity shifts to smart phones and other mobile devices.”
Lerner continued, “For as long as we're able to add tens of thousands of new users per day to our AreYouInterested.com Facebook application and add thousands of mobile users each day while maintaining a very comfortable balance sheet position, we strongly believe the right move for the business is to prioritize growth ahead of profitability. Accordingly, we are pleased to report significant revenue and traffic gains across our AreYouInterested.com mobile-based products in October as well as our highest monthly revenue total ever in October. We are incredibly excited about our product roadmaps and the intellectual capital driving them and believe an extraordinary opportunity lies before us to further position SNAP as a leader in the social and mobile dating spaces, redefining the way people meet online.”
SNAP’s revenues are primarily generated from subscription sales on its AreYouInterested.com social dating application including the AreYouInterested.com Facebook app, the AreYouInterested.com website, iPhone app, and mobile website.
SNAP’s CFO Jon Pedersen commented, “This quarter marks 10 straight quarters of revenue growth for SNAP, which highlights the Company’s success in both product development and successful deployment of marketing and advertising spend. While the Company did incur a loss for the quarter, the focus remains on executing its product roadmap and increasing traffic to our properties on Facebook, mobile and the Web. Consistent revenue growth has enabled SNAP to continue to invest in all aspects of its business while maintaining a strong balance sheet. SNAP’s liquidity position for the quarter of $9.7 million is down just $0.1 million from the June quarter end.”
