Core Live Mobile Franchises Grew Bookings 63% Year-Over-Year in 2015

"In terms of our financial scorecard, for 2015, we made good progress in our transition to mobile on a bookings level but, due to the lack of significant new releases, we saw an overall decline in our audience. While our total bookings grew 1%, our core live mobile franchises - Slots, Words With Friends and Poker - were up 63% and all of mobile grew 35%. We ended the year with mobile now representing 73% of total bookings up from 60% in Q4 2014. We saw our web business continue to decline with bookings down 32% and audience down 53%. Overall for the year, we managed to support a relatively large slate of new game development and user acquisition while remaining profitable," said Mark Pincus, CEO and Founder of Zynga.
