On the positive side, Snap noted that the iOS 14.5 update did not make severe changes to its operations as earlier forecasted. Partly due to the late rollout of iOS 14.5 by Apple’s developers.
Jeremi Gorman, Snap’s chief business officer added that the slow adoption of Apple’s software update also significantly contributed. “This has given us more time with advertisers to navigate the transition but also means the effects of these changes will come later than we initially expected,” Gorman said.
One of the key highlights from the Snap second-quarter report was the 53% decline in a net loss to $152 million from $326 million a year ago.
Forward, the company is weighing on different market outlooks, particularly Covid-19 and the rollout of the vaccine. On a year-over-year basis, Snap expects its revenue to grow by 58% to 60% during the third quarter. Additionally, the company said it anticipates hitting approximately 301 million daily active users (DAUs) in the third quarter.
This range reflects our best current estimate of the potential impact of anticipated disruptions associated with the iOS platform changes,” Snap Chief Financial Officer Derek Andersen said in his prepared remarks.
The foreseeable future remains uncertain for Snap management largely due to a resurgence of COVID-19 cases. As a result, the company said it will be operating in an uncertain environment until the end of the year.
