Meta's Reality Labs has released its latest financial data, reporting an operating loss of $6 billion in the fourth quarter, though revenue reached $955 million. This performance exceeded analysts' previous expectations of a $5.7 billion loss and $940.8 million in revenue. Despite the bright spot in revenue, the division's loss situation is not optimistic, having increased by 21% year-over-year, with revenue growing by 13%. Since the end of 2020, the total operating losses have approached $80 billion.

Faced with such financial conditions, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that losses this year are expected to be similar to previous years, potentially peaking before gradually decreasing. To address the challenges, Meta is actively making business adjustments. In January of this year, Meta laid off over 1,000 employees from Reality Labs, aiming to reallocate resources to artificial intelligence and wearable devices, with projects like the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses being a key focus. Simultaneously, given that the VR product market growth is slower than expected, the company has also shut down multiple VR projects, including internal studios, to optimize its business layout. Mark Zuckerberg stated, "We need to rationally allocate resources and focus on areas with greater potential."
