Unity reports 41% revenue increase for first quarter of 2021

Engine firm Unity has seen a 41 per cent rise in its revenue for the three months ending March 31st, 2021.

In a release on its website, the company reported $234.8 million for the period, with its Create Solutions division bringing in $70.4 million in revenue, a 51 per cent increase year-on-year.

Unity also reports that 837 of its customers made more than $100,000 for the 12 months ending March 31st, 2021, a sizeable increase on the 668 that hit this milestone in the previous year.

“Our first quarter results are reflective of the powerful transition from linear 2D to real-time 3D, which is one of the most important changes in how people interact with technology,” Unity CEO John Riccitiello said.

“We believe that real-time 3D will continue to grow at an accelerated pace and achieve massive scale.”

Newly-promoted CFO Luis Visoso added: “Execution in the first quarter was very strong with revenue of $234.8 million, an increase of 41% from last year. We are encouraged by the growth of our customers contributing more than $100K of trailing twelve-month revenue and the healthy dollar-based net expansion rate during the first quarter. We continue to invest strategically in R&D and vertical expansion to enable Unity to lead the transition to real-time 3D.”

Unity went public back in September 2020.
