Snail, Inc. Reports 38.7% Revenue Decline in Q3 2025, Net Loss of $7.9 Million

Snail, Inc. reported a significant decline in financial performance for the third quarter of 2025, with net revenues of $13.8 million, down 38.7% from $22.5 million in the same period last year. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, revenues totaled $56.1 million, a decrease of 3.7% compared to $58.3 million in 2024. The company attributed this decline primarily to increased deferred revenue from its flagship ARK franchise, which accounted for 90.3% of total revenue, and a decrease in sales from other titles, including Bellwright.

The company's gross profit for the third quarter was $14,406, a stark contrast to the $8.7 million reported in the previous year, while the nine-month gross profit fell to $12.8 million from $18.9 million. Operating expenses rose to $9.9 million for the quarter, up 18.9% from $8.3 million in 2024, driven by increased general and administrative costs, research and development, and marketing expenses. The net loss for the quarter was $7.9 million, compared to a net income of $0.2 million in the prior year, while the nine-month net loss reached $26.4 million, a significant drop from a net income of $0.7 million in 2024.

In terms of operational metrics, Snail, Inc. reported an average of 216,000 daily active users for its ARK franchise during the third quarter, a slight increase from 210,000 in the same period last year. The company also noted that it had sold 1.1 million units of its games in both the third quarters of 2025 and 2024. The company continues to invest in its content strategy, including the recent release of new downloadable content (DLC) for ARK: Survival Ascended and the launch of its short film mobile application, SaltyTV, which has released 67 short films to date.

Looking ahead, Snail, Inc. is focused on expanding its gaming portfolio and enhancing user engagement through new game releases and DLCs. The company has also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to issue additional convertible notes and is exploring a strategic digital asset initiative, including the potential introduction of its own stablecoin. However, the company faces challenges, including compliance with debt covenants and the need for additional capital to support its operations and growth initiatives. As of September 30, 2025, Snail, Inc. had unrestricted cash of $12.3 million, which it believes will sustain operations beyond the next 12 months.
