Items this document does not state (10)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Points PU and points sales revenue declined due to changes in the competitive environment, but usage by loyal users remained solid and points ARPPU increased. Growth in membership revenue, lower payment processing fees and lower infrastructure costs resulting from the smoothing of peak traffic supported profit. Conversely, a higher streamer revenue share rate and increases in organizational strengthening, marketing and other expenses weighed on profit.
