Don Mattrick  (CEO, Zynga): The next few years will be a time of phenomenal growth in our space and Zynga has incredible assets to take advantage of the market opportunity. To do that, we need to get back to basics and take a longer term view on our products and business, develop more efficient processes and tighten up execution all across the company. We have a lot of hard work in front of us and as we reset, we expect to see more volatility in our business than we would like over the next two to four quarters.

Zynga’s outlook for the third quarter of 2013 is as follows:

• Revenue is projected to be in the range of $175 million to $200 million.
• Net loss is projected to be in the range of  $43 million to $14 million.
• EPS is projected to be in the range of 2 cents to 5 cents, based on a share count of approximately 803 million to 813 million shares.

Zynga’s outlook for the full year 2013:

• Adjusted EBITDA margin is targeted to be in the range of 0% to 5%.
