Alasan: apa yang mereka sampaikan ke investor

Sentences copied word for word from the latest annual report of the company behind WhatsApp. Companies must tell investors what their business depends on.

“We generate substantially all of our revenue from advertising.”

Where the money comes from, in the company's own words.

“If we fail to retain existing users or add new users, or if our users decrease their level of engagement with our products, our revenue, financial results, and business may be significantly harmed.”
