Unity Software Inc. shares were tumbling in late trading Monday after the app-monetization company whiffed with its latest results and forecasts.
The company forecast $415 million to $420 million in fiscal first-quarter revenue for what it calls its “strategic portfolio,” deeming that its non-strategic portfolio will not be a meaningful contributor to revenue going forward. The FactSet consensus was for $534 million in revenue.

Analysts had been modeling $112 million for the quarter and $647 million for the year.

Unity said in its shareholder letter that it’s in the middle of “a two-phase company reset that we expect will enable Unity to sustainably win with customers and shareholders.”
“With the portfolio and cost structure reset mostly behind us, all of our focus turns to reigniting revenue growth,” the company said.
