The company expects third-quarter revenues between $260 million and $265 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $266.1 million, indicating an increase of 32.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

Unity’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 43.3%, on average.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors Likely to Influence Q3 Results
Unity’s third-quarter top line is expected to have benefited from robust demand for its software solutions from content creators like game developers, architects, automotive designers and filmmakers. Growing momentum in the Operate Solutions business is likely to have served as a key catalyst.
The second quarter of 2021 witnessed new customer additions in automotive, consumer product, and aerospace & defense end-markets. This trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
In addition, spike in consumer spend in the online gaming industry is expected to have driven the adoption of Unity’s real-time 3D technology among gaming companies in the to-be-reported quarter.
Unity has been expanding its platform by introducing product capabilities, which are likely to have been a major growth driver.
Steady demand for interactive, real-time 2D and 3D content for mobile phones, tablets, PCs and virtual reality devices is likely to have aided the company’s top line.
888 customers generated more than $100,000 of revenues in the trailing 12 months as of Jun 30, 2021, up from 716 customers in the year-ago period.
The company’s dollar-based net expansion rate, which measures expansion in existing customers’ revenues over a trailing 12-month period as of Jun 30, 2021, was 142%, unchanged year over year.
The momentum is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter, primarily on strong adoption of the company’s subscription-based Create Solutions and Operate Solutions.
