2024年第三季度财务亮点：
净收入截至2024年9月30日三个月为2,250万美元，而同比截至2023年9月30日三个月为900万美元，增幅为1,350万美元或150.9%。净收入的增加主要是由于畸变和鲍勃的奇谈第二部分的发布所带来的820万美元收入，方舟系列游戏的总销售额增加了590万美元，Bellwright（颂钟长鸣）的游戏销售额增加了100万美元，Genesis II（创世纪2）和Myth of Empires（帝国神话）在一些平台上的发布所产生的收入120万美元，部分被方舟手游销售额减少的30万美元，以及与方舟：生存飞升和鲍勃的奇谈DLC尚未发布所产生的递延收入增加的260万美元所抵消。
净利润截至2024年9月30日三个月为20万美元，而同比截至2023年9月30日三个月的净亏损为440万美元。净利润的增加是由于发布新游戏带来的收入的增长。
订购额（Bookings）截至2024年9月30日三个月为1,610万美元，而同比截至2023年9月30日三个月为1,050万美元，增幅为560万美元，或53.6%。订购额的增加是由于方舟：生存飞升在2023年第四季度的强势发布，以及在2024年上半年推出的鲍勃的奇谈扩展包和新游颂钟长鸣，以及2024年9月及4月分别发布的方舟：生存飞升的畸变以及焦土DLC扩展包。
息税折旧摊销前利润（"EBITDA"）截至2024年9月30日三个月为50万美元，而同比截至2023年9月30日三个月的亏损为510万美元，增幅为560万美元，或109.7%。增加的主要原因是净利润增加了460万美元，以及所得税收益减少了140万美元，部分被利息支出减少的30万美元所抵消。
截至2024年9月30日，未受限制的现金为1,060万美元，公司已偿还截至2023年12yue 31日尚未偿还的300万美元循环贷款，230万美元应付票据和80万美元可转换票据。
非GAAP财务指标的使用
除了按照美国公认会计原则（GAAP）确定的财务结果外，蜗牛游戏认为，息税折旧摊销前利润(EBITDA)作为非GAAP指标，而订购额（Bookings）作为运营指标，有助于评估其经营业绩。订购额和EBITDA是作为补充披露的非GAAP财务指标，不应被视为净利润（亏损）的替代指标，也不应被视为衡量运营活动提供的现金流量的替代指标，两者均按照GAAP确定。蜗牛游戏补充呈现订购额和EBITDA，是为管理层用于评估财务业绩的关键运营指标。订购额调整了递延收入的影响，蜗牛游戏认为其提供了在给定时期内销售情况的有用指标。EBITDA调整了蜗牛游戏认为不反映其业务持续运营业绩的项目，例如某些非现金项目、不寻常或非经常性项目，或者期间内发生变化但对其运营业绩没有实质性关联的项目。管理层认为，订购额和EBITDA有助于投资者和分析师了解蜗牛游戏的关键经营业绩趋势，而其他指标可能因长期战略决策如资本结构、蜗牛游戏所在的税收管辖区和资本投资而产生差异。
订购额（Bookings）是指当期内以数字或实物方式销售的产品和服务的净额。订购额等于收入扣除递延的影响。以下是总净收入与订购额的调整，并是最接近GAAP的财务指标。
