Shillong, October 26: In its third quarter, Meta reported impressive revenue of $34 billion, reflecting a 23% increase compared to the same quarter in the previous year.

Notably, total costs and expenses decreased by 7% year-over-year, amounting to $20.40 billion.

As per IANS, Meta’s net income saw a substantial rise of 164% from the previous year, reaching $11.58 billion during the quarter.

However, the company faced challenges, particularly in its Reality Labs division, where operating losses are expected to increase significantly year-over-year. The AR-VR division of Meta has incurred nearly $25 billion in losses since the beginning of the previous year.

Meta’s Founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, expressed pride in the progress made by the company, stating, “We had a good quarter for our community and business. I’m proud of the work our teams have done to advance AI and mixed reality with the launch of Quest 3, Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, and our AI studio.”

Following the earnings report, Meta’s stock initially rose but later fell by more than 3%. The company reported an average of 3.14 billion family daily active people (DAP) in September, marking a 7% year-over-year increase. Facebook daily active users (DAUs) averaged 2.09 billion in September, showing a 5% increase.

Looking ahead, Meta anticipates total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 to be in the range of $36.5 to $40 billion. Nevertheless, the Reality Labs division, with its focus on AR-VR, reported operating losses of $3.74 billion for the quarter.

As of September 30, Meta had 66,185 employees, representing a 24% decrease compared to the previous year.
