CNBC has summarized the report which can be seen below:$1.2 billion vs $1.23 billion expected, according to RefinitivShares of Twitter traded up around one percent following the report.
Twitter aid that the 229 million mDAUs it reported represents a 15.9 percent increase from the same period last year. The company reported that in the United States, mDAUs were up by 6.4 percent compared to the same period last year, reaching 39.6 million. International mDAUs were up 18.1 percent at 189.4 million.
Twitter also corrected previous mDAU numbers that overcounted accounts between Q1 2019 and Q4 2021. Twitter stated that the error incorrectly reported 1.4 million to 1.9 million extra mDAUs per quarter during that timeframe due to the introduction of a feature that allowed users to easily switch between accounts. This meant that all linked accounts were counted as mDAUs when an action was made by the users’ main account.
An error was made at that time, such that actions taken via the primary account resulted in all linked accounts being counted as mDAU.The table below provides updated values for mDAU from Q4’20 to Q4’21 alongside historical reported values for those same time periods. We are including one decimal place for both the absolute values and growth rates to give more detail around the magnitude of the changes.
Although it is likely to take months for Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter to close, the company has canceled its planned earnings conference call following the acquisition news. Twitter will also not be providing forward-looking guidance and is withdrawing earlier goals and outlooks.

Isn't it illegal to inflate the numbers for a publicly traded stock?
Isn't lying to your shareholders a crime or something? Some kind of fraud perhaps?
Oops

Oops!
They probably would have gotten a bailout like mainstream media.
