The net revenue of Meta missed EPS projections in its Q4 earnings on Wednesday. The quarterly revenue came in at $33.67 billion, which meets the analyst’s expectations of $33.41 billion.
In the last quarter, Meta reported revenue of $29 billion, which was on par with the analyst. After the pandemic throughout 2020, its revenue and earnings growth went down slowly.
In Q3 2021, the active users of Facebook dropped to 1.929 billion from 1.930. Within these months, the company lost around a million users.
Since most of Meta’s revenue depends on its advertisements via different online platforms, a drop in active users points to a decline in the ad revenue from these entities, including Facebook and Instagram.
As reported by Forbes, the earnings call revealed that the company spent $10.1 billion on its metaverse plans in 2021.
