Zynga boss looks to new games and reliable hits to replenish its audience

Zynga generated $174.7 million in bookings during Q2 2016, which is about even from the same period in 2015. But that is better than the company’s high-end guidance, and chief executive officer Frank Gibeau explained to GamesBeat that its core hits are fueling its efforts to return to high profits.

“We’re continuing to make progress in our turnaround,” Gibeau told GamesBeat. “Our bookings and our [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization] were above our high-end guidance. We feel good about our performance.”
