As the graph shows, in less than a year, Zynga doubled its operating expenses, from $116.7 million in Q2 2010 to $206.7 million in Q1 2011.

Surprisingly, in Q4 2011, Zynga operating expenses increased a massive 541.86% YoY to record-high of $797.8 million. The increase in total expenses was primarily due to the increase in R&D, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses during the quarter. However, the total expenses declined to $406.6 million in the following quarter itself.

It is important to note that Zynga’s quarterly expenses declined for the 7th consecutive quarters, from $273.6 million in Q4 2012 to $219.5 million in Q2 2014. In fact, in Q4 2012, the company recorded the highest-ever yearly and quarterly decline of 65.7% YoY and 33.8% QoQ in its expenses, respectively.
