Pandora currently has $80.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Thats down from the last quarter. It had 59.9 million active users this quarter. An important metric is the total number of listener hours. It grew 67 percent year-over-year to 3.56 billion hours for this quarter. Growth is slowing down as it was at 3.3 billion hours last quarter. For Q4 2013, Pandora expects revenue between $120 million and $123 million and a non-GAAP loss per share. In addition to being much lowered than expected, inaccurate report from MarketWatch drove the stock down. Shares are currently down 17.57 percent in after-hour trading.
