The company generated 92% of revenue growth year-over-year, primarily as a result of 81% growth in paying monthly active users.

Moreover, sales growth becomes even more exciting when we consider the company's potential profitability powered by its ultra high-margin business model. The company enjoys gross margins of 94%, which indicates plenty of room for a rich bottom line as the company continues to scale.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7f0ae33838bdd16f867917a1fe90d9c3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"315\"><span>Source:Q1 results</span></p>\n<p>Finally, the company ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet, including $613 million of cash. The company also recently struck a deal to acquire Aarki for $150 in cash and stock (another catalyst for accelerated revenue growth) as well). Thus, even if the whole company was to be acquired in cash only, Skillz would still have enough gun powder to sustain several quarters of losses (at its current run rate) without the need to raise extra funds.</p>\n<p>We hence don't expect any further dilution, which could support the short case amid the additional sale of shares.
