Skillz (SKLZ 0.96%) reported earnings on August 3 after the market closed. In today's video I look at Skillz's earnings report and talk about some of the strong and weak points presented to investors. Here are some highlights from the video:

  1. Skillz reported 52% year-over-year (YOY) revenue growth, 53% YOY paying monthly active user growth, and a YOY decline of monthly active users for its second-quarter 2021 earnings. 
  2. One of the most prominent yellow flags investors might see is that Skillz spends more money on sales and marketing than it collects in revenue. Skillz focuses on two types of marketing. The first is user acquisition, which is getting new users to use Skillz's application. The second is user engagement marketing, which focuses on improving retention and generating more revenue. 
  3. Skillz ended the quarter with no debt and plenty of cash in its balance sheet. Skillz updated its full-year 2021 guidance to account for its acquisition of Aarki. The business combination with Aarki will help Skillz alleviate some of its marketing expenses.
