Other takeaways from the report
- Unity announced a new joint venture in China valued at $1 billion. The company partnered with local tech companies like Alibaba, China Mobile, and Doujin Group to grow its business in the country.
- “Together with our sustained investment, these partners will help Unity China unlock new local technology development, provide strategic support, and drive deeper engagement as preferred customers,” Unity’s statement reads.
- CEO John Riccitiello refused to provide any details about AppLovin’s proposal to merge with Unity. “I acknowledge we received a proposal, and I want you to know that we aren’t going to make any comments at this time,” he said during an earnings call.
- Instead, Riccitiello went on to talk about Unity’s announced merger with ironSource. He noted that the combined company is “expected to reflect a roughly 50-50 revenue mix between our creation and growth technologies and services.”
- However, the ironSource deal must be terminated if Unity accepts AppLovin’s proposal.
