Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other things, our outlook for first quarter 2013 revenue, net loss, EPS, weighted average diluted share count, bookings, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP EPS, non-GAAP weighted average diluted share count, stock-based expense and taxes; our outlook for full year 2013 capital expenditures, targeted adjusted EBITDA margin and taxes; our estimated pre-tax savings from our restructuring plans; our ability to remain profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis; our future operational and strategic plans; expanding our network, including creating and building a mobile network and the success of that network; our ability to transition our web franchises to mobile and create new franchises on the web and mobile; our ability to launch successful games, including invest & express games, on mobile; our ability to launch successful new games and hit games for web and mobile generally; the success of our franchise games and our games and platform generally and the growth of the social games market, including the mobile market and the advertising market.  Forward-looking statements often include words such as "outlook," "projected, " "intends," "will," "anticipate," "believe," "target," "expect," and statements in the future tense are generally forward-looking statements. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward- looking statements involves significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those predicted or implied, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of our future performance. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our relationship with Facebook or changes in the Facebook platform, our ability to launch new games in a timely manner and monetize these games effectively on the web and on mobile, our ability to control and reduce expenses, our ability to anticipate and address technical challenges that may arise, competition, changing interests of players, intellectual property disputes or other litigation, asset impairment charges, our ability to retain key employees, acquisitions by us and changes in corporate strategy or management.

More information about factors that could affect our operating results is included under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2012, in our registration statement on Form S-1, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2012 and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, copies of which may be obtained by visiting our Investor Relations web site at http://investor.zynga.com or the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements in this release, which are based on information available to us on the date hereof. There is no guarantee that the circumstances described in our forward-looking statements will occur. We assume no obligation to update such statements. The results we report in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 could differ from the preliminary results we have announced in this press release.

DAU, MAU, MUU, MUP and ABPU figures presented in this press release represent the average for each period presented. The figures in this press release above represent the quarterly average of the three months within each quarter presented.

MUPs represents the aggregate number of unique players who made a payment at least once during the applicable month through a payment method for which we can quantify the number of unique payers. MUPs do not include payers who use certain payment methods for which we cannot quantify the number of unique payers. If a player made a payment in our games on two separate platforms (e.g. Facebook and Google+) in a month, the player would be counted as two unique payers in that month.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

We have provided in this release non-GAAP financial information including bookings, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, and free cash flow, as a supplement to the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results to assess operational performance and liquidity. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics we use in making operating decisions and because our investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of our business. We have provided reconciliations between our historical and first quarter 2013 outlook for non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. However, we have not provided reconciliation of our full year 2013 adjusted EBITDA margin (adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of bookings) outlook to a comparable operating income (loss) margin (operating income (loss) as a percentage of revenues) for full year 2013 because certain inputs necessary to accurately project revenue (including the projected mix of virtual goods sold in our games, the projected estimated average lives of durable virtual goods for our games and visibility into projected bookings) are not in our control and cannot be reasonably projected for the full year due to variability from period to period caused by changes in player behavior and other factors. As revenue is a necessary input to determine this comparable GAAP metric, we are not able to provide the reconciliation.

Some limitations of bookings, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow are:

  • Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) do not include the impact of stock-based expense and restructuring expense;
  • Bookings, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) do not reflect that we defer and recognize online game revenue and revenue from certain advertising transactions over the estimated average life of virtual goods or as virtual goods are consumed;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not include other income and expense, which includes foreign exchange gains and losses, interest income; and the gain from the termination of our lease and purchase of our corporate headquarters building;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes both depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, while non-GAAP net income excludes amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions. Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;
  • Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) do not include gains and losses associated with legal settlements;
  • Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income (loss) do not include the impairment of intangible assets previously acquired in connection with the company's purchase of OMGPOP.
  • Non-GAAP net income (loss) does not include the net gain from the termination of our lease and purchase of the Company's corporate headquarters building;
  • Non-GAAP EPS treats shares of convertible preferred stock as if they had converted into common stock at the beginning of the applicable period presented;
  • Non-GAAP EPS gives effect to all dilutive awards based on the treasury stock method that were excluded from the GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation;
  • Free cash flow is derived from net cash provided by operating activities less cash spent on capital expenditures, including the purchase of our corporate headquarters building, and removing the excess income tax benefits or costs associated with stock-based awards; and
  • Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate bookings, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow differently or not at all, which will reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider bookings, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow, along with other financial performance measures, including revenue, net income (loss) and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. See the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations below for further details.
