Meta, the parent company of Facebook, reported a second consecutive quarter of declining sales on Wednesday, as the company contends with a widespread drop in online ad spending and rising competition from TikTok.

Revenue declined 4% year on year, the earnings report showed. That slump exceeded the 1% year on year decline during the previous quarter.

Shares of Meta were down more than 10% in after hours trading immediately after the announcement. We crunch the results with Nicola Kemp from tech platform Bite.
