PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Results
LAS VEGAS--( BUSINESS WIRE)--PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYPS) (“PLAYSTUDIOS” or the “Company”), a developer and publisher of free-to-play mobile and social games and the creator of the playAWARDS loyalty platform, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Andrew Pascal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PLAYSTUDIOS, said, “Our third quarter results continue to reflect the challenging operating environment facing our legacy social casino portfolio. While these pressures persist, we continue to make progress toward building a simpler, more efficient, and more financially disciplined organization, as reflected in our improved operating margins this quarter. Through our restructuring program, Renewal, we have taken decisive steps to reduce our cost structure, streamline operations, and concentrate resources on the businesses and capabilities that we believe offer the strongest foundation for sustainable profitability and cash generation.”
Pascal continued, “During the quarter, we made the difficult but necessary decisions to discontinue two of our growth initiatives: Tetris Block Party and The Win Zone. Despite significant investment and the efforts of our teams, neither initiative demonstrated the sustained engagement, monetization, or economic returns necessary to justify continued investment. These decisions reflect our disciplined approach to capital allocation and our commitment to prioritizing profitability and financial returns. We believe that exiting these initiatives, together with the ongoing benefits of Renewal, will enable us to further simplify the business, reduce operating expenses, and strengthen our financial position.”
Third Quarter Financial Highlights
Management Commentary Snapshot
Cost Structure and Margin Improvement
In March 2026, the Company initiated Renewal, the second phase of its business restructuring, a broader scope program designed to simplify operations, reduce fixed costs, improve long-term profitability, and create a more stable operating platform. Renewal targeted the closure of 4 of the Company’s studios, the elimination of 177 positions, the consolidation of products and development teams, the unification of select technologies and tools, reductions in cost of sales, and lower marketing spend. To date, the Company has closed all 4 studios, exceeded its targeted role eliminations, and surpassed its cost of sales reduction goals, driven by the continued shift toward direct-to-consumer revenue. The Company is on pace to realize annualized savings at the top end of the initial forecast range, now raising and narrowing the range to $37.0 million to $39.0 million. These changes have made the business more focused and durable in an evolving market and provide a foundation from which the Company can evaluate selective future growth opportunities.
Capital Allocation and Growth Initiatives
During the third quarter, PLAYSTUDIOS took further steps to align its capital allocation strategy with its overriding priorities of operating stability, profitability, and cash generation. Following a review of the operating performance, investment requirements, and prospective returns of Tetris Block Party and The Win Zone, the Company determined that continued investment in these initiatives was not justified
Tetris Block Party
Despite continued product refinement and optimization efforts, the Company concluded that the investment required to support the product's longer-term development and growth was unlikely to generate acceptable returns. Accordingly, on September 30, 2026, PLAYSTUDIOS made the decision to discontinue Tetris Block Party, with operations ceasing in October 2026.
The Win Zone
Following reduced marketing investment and further evaluation of the product's operating economics and future capital requirements, the Company determined that continued investment was not warranted. On September 18, 2026, PLAYSTUDIOS made the decision to discontinue The Win Zone.
The discontinuation of both products represents an important step in the Company's broader efforts to simplify its operating model and improve capital efficiency. In connection with these decisions, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $6.7 million during the third quarter. In addition to the impairment charges, the Company recorded an impairment to goodwill totaling $9.2 million.
PLAYSTUDIOS remains focused on strengthening its established social casino and casual games portfolio, improving direct-to-consumer monetization, and identifying opportunities to enhance operating performance through greater efficiency and product optimization. While ongoing, we are pleased with the progress of our cost saving initiatives, with our quarterly consolidated AEBITDA margin having increased materially over the prior corresponding period.
AI Enablement
As part of its broader simplification effort, the Company continues to expand the use of AI across its development and operating teams. Management believes practical, AI-enabled workflows can improve productivity, execution quality, and margins over time, and is prioritizing applications with measurable operating benefits.
Share Repurchase Plan
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $95.9 million of cash and cash equivalents. Based on recent trading prices, the Company believes its current market valuation implies a negative enterprise value. The Company has adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and expects to continue repurchasing shares of its Class A common stock under its remaining $44.6 million of authorization as of the date of this press release, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other considerations.
Outlook
Due to the ongoing pressure within the broader social casino market, PLAYSTUDIOS is not providing formal financial guidance at this time. The Company believes a stronger and more predictable operating base will better position it to evaluate and selectively invest in future growth opportunities. Management remains committed to transparency and intends to continue engaging with investors and analysts regarding the Company’s progress and priorities.

Performance Indicators
We manage our business by regularly reviewing several key operating metrics to track historical performance, identify trends in player activity, and set strategic goals for the future. Our key performance metrics are impacted by several factors that could cause them to fluctuate on a quarterly basis, such as platform providers’ policies, seasonality, player connectivity, and the addition of new content to games. We believe these measures are useful to investors for the same reasons. The key performance indicators may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. For more information on our key performance indicators, please refer to the definitions below and the “Supplemental Data—playGAMES Key Performance Indicators” and “Supplemental Data—playAWARDS Key Performance Indicators” sections of this press release.
Average Daily Active Users (“Average DAU”): Daily Active Users ("DAU") is defined as the number of individuals who played a game on a particular day. For Tetris and our free-to-play social casino games, we track DAU by the player ID, which is assigned for each game installed by an individual. As such, an individual who plays two of these games on the same day is counted as two DAU while an individual who plays the same game on two different devices is counted as one DAU. For our Brainium suite of casual games, we track DAU by app instance ID, which is assigned to each installation of a game on a particular device. As such, an individual who plays two different Brainium games on the same day is counted as two DAU and an individual who plays the same Brainium game on two different devices is also counted as two DAU. The term "Average DAU" is defined as the average of the DAU, determined as described above, for each day during the period presented. We use DAU and Average DAU as measures of audience engagement to help us understand the size of the active player base engaged with our games on a daily basis.
Average Monthly Active Users (“Average MAU”): Monthly Active Users ("MAU") is defined as the number of individuals who played a game in a particular month. As with DAU, an individual who plays two different non-Brainium games in the same month is counted as two MAU while an individual who plays the same non-Brainium game on two different devices is counted as one MAU, and an individual who plays two different Brainium games on the same month is counted as two MAU while an individual who plays the same Brainium game on two different devices is also counted as two MAU. The term "Average MAU" is defined as the average of the MAU, determined as described above, for each calendar month during the period presented. We use MAU and Average MAU as measures of audience engagement to help us understand the size of the active player base engaged with our games on a monthly basis.
Because DAU and MAU are calculated separately for each game title using player IDs or app-instance IDs, as applicable, these metrics reflect engagement at the title level rather than unique individuals across our entire portfolio. Accordingly, a single individual may be counted multiple times if they engage with multiple games. In addition, these metrics are derived from a combination of internal tracking systems and third-party platform data, which may be subject to technical limitations, data discrepancies, or changes in platform reporting methodologies.
Average Daily Paying Users (“Average DPU”): Daily Paying Users ("DPU") is defined as the number of individuals who made a purchase of virtual currency or digital items within a game during a particular day. As with DAU and MAU, we track DPU based on account activity. As such, an individual who makes a purchase in two different games in a particular day is counted as two DPU while an individual who makes purchases in the same game on two different devices is counted as one DPU. The term "Average DPU" is defined as the average of the DPU, determined as described above, for each day during the period presented. We use DPU and Average DPU to help us understand the size of our active player base that makes in-game purchases and to assess monetization trends within our active player base. Consistent with DAU and MAU, DPU is calculated at the game level and may reflect multiple purchases by a single individual across different titles.
Daily Payer Conversion: Daily Payer Conversion is defined as DPU as a percentage of DAU on a particular day. Daily Payer Conversion is also sometimes referred to as "Percentage of Paying Users" or "PPU". The term "Average Daily Payer Conversion" is defined as the Average DPU divided by Average DAU for a given period. We use Daily Payer Conversion and Average Daily Payer Conversion to help us understand the monetization of our active players.
Average Daily Revenue Per DAU (“ARPDAU”): ARPDAU is defined for a given period as the average daily revenue per Average DAU, and is calculated as game-related revenue and advertising revenue attributable to the applicable period, divided by the number of days in the period, divided by the Average DAU during the period. We use ARPDAU as a measure of overall monetization of our active players. ARPDAU may fluctuate based on changes in pricing, player mix, advertising demand, and promotional activity.
playAWARDS Platform Metrics
Available Rewards: Available Rewards is defined as the monthly average number of unique rewards available in our applications’ rewards stores. A reward appearing in more than one application’s reward store is counted only once. A reward is counted only once irrespective of the inventory available through that reward. For example, one reward for a free night in a hotel room with ten rooms available for such free night is counted as one reward. Available Rewards only include real-world partner rewards and exclude PLAYSTUDIOS digital rewards. We use Available Rewards as a measure of the value and potential impact of the program for an interested player. We use Available Rewards as one indicator of the breadth of our loyalty offering.
Purchases: Purchases is defined as the total number of rewards purchased for the period identified in which a player exchanges loyalty points for a reward. Purchases are net of refunds. Purchases only include purchases of real-world partner rewards and exclude any PLAYSTUDIOS digital rewards. Purchases are redeemed by the player directly with the rewards partner within the specified terms and conditions of the reward. The Company does not recognize revenue from Purchases, as players redeem loyalty points rather than making cash payments. We use Purchases as a measure of audience interest and engagement with our playAWARDS platform.
Retail Value of Daily Rewards Inventory: Retail Value of Daily Rewards Inventory is defined as the cumulative retail value of all rewards listed as available for the period divided by the number days in the period. For rewards with unlimited inventory, the maximum of number of rewards used in the calculation is 50. The retail value of each reward listed as available is the retail value as specified by the rewards partner upon creation of the reward. Retail Value of Daily Rewards Inventory only includes the retail value of real-world partner rewards and excludes the cost of any PLAYSTUDIOS branded merchandise. We use Retail Value of Daily Rewards Inventory to help us understand the real-world value of the rewards within our playAWARDS platform.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Consolidated AEBITDA. These measures are intended to supplement, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.
To provide investors with information in addition to results as determined by GAAP, the Company discloses Consolidated Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“Consolidated AEBITDA”) as a non-GAAP measure that management believes provides useful information to investors. This measure is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, net income or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We define Consolidated AEBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and related costs (consisting primarily of severance and other restructuring related costs), stock-based compensation expense, and other income and expense items (including special infrequent items, foreign currency gains and losses, and other non-cash items). We also present Consolidated AEBITDA Margin, a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate as Consolidated AEBITDA as a percentage of net revenue.
We believe that the presentation of Consolidated AEBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations because the measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Consolidated AEBITDA provides an indicator of performance that is not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items. Accordingly, management believes that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period, and management relies on this measure for planning and forecasting of future periods. Additionally, this measure allows management to compare results with those of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. However, other companies may define Consolidated AEBITDA differently, and as a result, our measure of Consolidated AEBITDA may not be directly comparable to that of other companies. For further information regarding these non-GAAP measures, including the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please refer to the “Reconciliation of Net Loss to Consolidated AEBITDA” section of this press release.
