Skillz reports Q1 EPS ($1.45), two estimates ($1.23)

Reports Q1 revenue $25.2M, two estimates $29.53M. “Execution in the first quarter on our strategic initiatives met with some short-term setbacks, particularly with our new customer onboarding in the period. We have acted quickly to resolve these issues to position Skillz to deliver top-line growth and positive Adjusted EBITDA,” said Andrew Paradise, Skillz’ CEO. “We continue to improve the payback period on our customer acquisition costs and are now transitioning our efforts toward increasing our spend to facilitate growth in our paying users while maintaining our focus on driving value from our user acquisition spend. We believe these efforts combined with further new feature introductions that drive higher player retention and engagement over the balance of the year will position Skillz to generate positive Adjusted EBITDA on a run-rate basis by late this year.”
