该公司首席执行官Niccolo de Masi强调了Glu该季度在智能手机领域上的成就，“在第三季度，我们的智能手机游戏营收持续增长了12%，微交易和游戏植入广告增长了98%，每月活跃用户也增加了15%。”

Glu目前正将业务重心转向手机社交游戏和免费模式游戏，de Masi声称，“我们从今年第四季度开始，以后每季度的目标是推出6款新社交游戏，我对公司2011年的智能手机和平板电脑营收增长持谨慎乐观的态度。”

相信董事会新成员Ben Smith的加盟也会对Glu的业务发展发挥作用，据了解，Ben Smith是iPhone音乐游戏开发商Tapulous的早期投资者之一。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译）

Glu revenues down but high hopes for social games

Mobile games publisher Glu Mobile has reported its Q3 financials, revealing revenues of $15.5 million, and a net loss of $1.6 million for the quarter.

That compares to revenues of $19.6 million in Q3 2009, when the publisher reported a net loss of $4 million.

Glu ended Q3 with $15.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, having secured a private placement of $13.5 million during the quarter.

CEO Niccolo de Masi highlights growth in Glu’s smartphone portfolio during the quarter.

“During the third quarter, we were able to sequentially grow smartphone revenues by 12%, micro-transactions and in-game advertising by 98% as well as monthly active users by 15%,” he says.

However, it’s the next set of financial results that will give a better idea of whether de Masi’s turnaround strategy for Glu has legs. The company is shifting focus to social mobile games and a freemium model.

“With our goal of launching five to six new social, persistent titles every quarter beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010, I am cautiously optimistic that our smartphone and tablet revenue growth will accelerate in 2011,” said de Masi.

Those efforts will be boosted by a new board appointment: Ben Smith. He was one of the earliest investors in iPhone music games developer Tapulous.（Source:mobile-ent）
