Snap三季度营收不及预期 Snap美股盘后暴跌22%_我的网站

A |     分地区来看，北美和欧洲的收入分别为8.1亿美元和1.6亿美元，均不及市场预期，增速分别为3.1%和5.4%；其他地区收入同比增长22%至1.56亿美元，略高于市场预期。尽管调整后利润超出市场预期，但是SNAP的净亏损飙升400%至3.6亿美元，部分原因是1.55亿美元的重组费用。    Six days after a brutal attack by armed Hamas militants on Israeli civilians, Israel ordered an evacuation of more than 1 million Palestinians in northern Gaza ahead of what could be an unprecedented ground offensive there against Hamas."We are going to destroy Hamas infrastructures, Hamas headquarters, Hamas military," vowed Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant as airstrikes were underway.The U.S. and other nations have repeatedly warned Israel to follow the "rules of war."But what are they? And will they prevent civilians from being hurt?Here's what to know about international humanitarian laws and how they might apply in the Israeli-Hamas conflict in Gaza.

Is Israel bound by the rules of war?

Yes.Israel has promised to abide by international humanitarian law including those under the Geneva Convention that seeks to minimize the impact on civilians, provide aid to the wounded on the battlefield, and not to mistreat prisoners of war.In general, the U.S. military and Israeli Defense Force also rely on similar rules of engagement in military operations.Israel insists it follows the rules of war and always has.But there is disagreement by international groups about exactly what qualifies as a violation in a country's quest to defend itself against terror attacks, as well as whether Israel could be prosecuted through the International Criminal Court -- an entity Israel doesn't recognize.Officials at the United Nations and European Union have accused Israel of already violating its promise not to harm civilians by cutting water and electricity to all of Gaza residents, including to hospitals. They also say it's impossible to ensure the safety of so many civilians by giving only 24 hours to evacuate to avoid the fighting.Palestinian health authorities estimate 1,799 civilians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, including 583 children, following Hamas' attacks that have killed at least 1,300 Israelis.Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human rights, said Hamas' brutality doesn't "liberate" Israel from adhering to international humanitarian laws."It is absolutely crucial that Israeli leaders and global leaders make it unambiguously clear that international humanitarian law is an obligation. It is not optional, and that military operations must be conducted in full compliance with international law," she said.President Joe Biden said he delivered that message directly to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week, later telling reporters "that it is really important that Israel, with all the anger and frustration … they operate by the rules of war.""And there are rules of war," Biden added.

How would the rules apply in this conflict? Would civilians be spared?

Avoiding harm to civilians though can fall into a gray area, particularly when it comes to a massive ground operation unfolding on a remarkably narrow strip of land. Gaza is among the most populated areas on Earth, roughly 7.5 miles at its widest and 25 miles long with some 2 million inhabitants.Eric Oehlerich, a retired Navy SEAL and ABC News contributor, said that even with sophisticated weaponry, such an operation would be extraordinarily difficult to carry out with no civilians harmed."There isn't a force in the world that can deal with 40,000 (enemy) soldiers interspersed with civilians in that densely populated area" and have "zero" civilian deaths, said Oehlerich."It's impossible," he added.One question will be what constitutes a valid military target, said Mick Mulroy, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East and retired CIA paramilitary operations officer.Israel says that Hamas -- which doesn't abide by humanitarian laws in its deliberate attack on civilians last week -- uses Palestinian civilians and hospitals as shields."If Hamas holds up in a building -- whether it's a hospital or mosque -- it becomes a valid military target," said Mulroy, also an ABC contributor. "That said, every reasonable step should be taken to eliminate or reduce civilian casualties (and) has to be done."

What does all this mean for hostages held by Hamas and US citizens inside Gaza?

Oehlerich, who has participated in military operations to free hostages, said getting those hostages out using military force will also be extraordinarily tough. That's because Hamas will likely have gone to great lengths to hide the hostages, including possibly rigging secret tunnels or even the hostages themselves with explosives.Oehlerich said success is more likely to come through backchannel negotiations with countries like Egypt and Qatar.Israeli officials say its special operations forces have been operating inside Gaza in past days trying to locate hostages. The US is also working the Red Cross and the UN to establish "safe zones" for foreign nationals to leave, including Americans located within Palestine, according to a senior State Department official.Beyond that, questions remain on how many innocent people will be hurt or killed inside Gaza. When asked by a reporter Friday what worries him most about the Israeli ground invasion, Biden had a one-word answer."Death," he said.ABC News' Shannon Crawford, William Gretsky and Mary Bruce contributed to this report.。虽然用户数依然维持高速增长，但是每用户平均收入（ARPU）下降11%至3.11美元，低于分析师平均预测的3.19美元。

B | 此外，SNAP再次取消下个季度的业绩指引。该公司称：鉴于与经营环境相关的不确定性，我们没有提供我们对2022 第四季度的收入或调整后净利润的预期。

C | 但该公司称，它已经“预测四季度的收入同比增速将同比大致持平。”金融博客Zero Hedge认为，这意味着，SNAP的高速成长期可能已经结束了。财报发布后，公司盘后股价暴跌近26%。该公司股价从2021年9月底的高点以来已经累计下跌约90%，今年以来的跌幅则达到77%。

用户维持高速增长，付费用户超过150万三季度，SNAP全球日活跃用户数为3.63亿，高于市场预期的3.582亿，同比增速达到19%。

E | 这表明尽管业务方面存在困难，但该公司仍然能够吸引用户使用该服务。但是，每用户平均收入（ARPU）下降11%至3.11美元，低于分析师平均预测的3.19美元。公司表示其在6月推出的每月3.99美元的Snapchat+订阅服务在三季度已经有超过150万订阅用户，当前该服务已经覆盖全球170多个国家和地区。SNAP首席执行官Evan Spiegel称：本季度，我们采取行动，进一步将业务重点放在三个战略重点上：发展我们的社区并加深用户对产品的参与，重新加速和多元化我们的收入增长，以及投资增强现实。

F | 他说，用户增长“为我们在动荡的宏观经济环境中提供了长期机会”。受美国宏观经济及苹果隐私政策的影响，SNAP广告业务能力下降苹果2021年对iOS系统的隐私更新仍然是SNAP跟踪用户能力的障碍，从而其互联网广告业务遭到削弱。Meta的Facebook等社交媒体也受到苹果该政策的冲击。下周Meta和Alphabet将公布最新的季度报告。此外，美国经济放缓和衰退的可能性加剧也导致许多广告商暂停或减少广告支出。在新闻稿中，SNAP称：我们发现，我们在许多行业的广告合作伙伴正在减少他们的营销预算，特别是在面临运营环境变差、通胀驱动的成本压力和资本成本上升的情况下。

G | 受SNAP不及市场预期的财报的拖累，同样依靠互联网广告收入的Meta在美股盘后一度跌约5%，Google母公司Alphabet盘后转跌，跌幅超2%。

SNAP继续缩减项目以期节省开支作为降低成本计划的一部分，SNAP称，将关闭几个昂贵的项目，包括计划以230美元单价出售的Pixy无人机。SNAP还终结了其Snap Originals优质节目的制作。8月，SNAP宣布将裁员超过1000名员工，约占6000名员工的20%。遣散费和相关费用占报告期内重组费用的很大一部分。与第二季度财报发布时一样，SNAP董事会批准了一项高达5亿美元的股票回购计划。截至三季度末，该公司拥有44亿美元的现金、现金等价物和有价证券。
