Unity Software (U) shares jumped more than 10% after hours after the company’s first-quarter results, with revenue up 56% year-over-year to hit $500 million, beating the consensus estimate of $481.46 million. EPS was ($0.67), down from ($0.60) last year.
For the remainder of 2023, the company expects revenues to grow faster than the markets it competes in, with continued steady and meaningful progress in profitability.

Last week, the company announced that it would restructure specific teams and lay off about 8% of its workforce, or about 600 employee positions, to continue positioning itself for long-term, profitable growth.
