David Wehner, Meta’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) tagged along his commentary on the Q3 report stating, the loss in the Reality Lab division was expected. He also mentions the loss “will grow significantly year-over-year” in 2023. In a long run, post-2023, FRL will be accountable for the overall company growth.

David states:

“we expect to pace Reality Labs investments such that we can achieve our goal of growing overall company operating income in the long run”

Mark states:

“We’re approaching 2023 with a focus on prioritization and efficiency that will help us navigate the current environment and emerge an even stronger company.”
