Last quarter, Twitter had 320 million monthly active users, virtually flat from the quarter before. That’s bad news, and if you look closer, it’s actually worse.
How does it get worse? Last year Twitter started included what are called SMS Fast Followers, which are people who use the service exclusively by SMS. Excluding these users, Twitter dropped from 307 million MAUs to 305 million MAUs. Ouch.
On the brighter side, Twitter’s 320 million MAUs is a 9 percent increase from a year before. Furthermore, its $710 million in revenue is a significant increase from $479 million a year before. That said, Twitter is still losing money, and the loss hasn’t improved much: The company lost $521 million in 2015 compared to $577 million.
