The company, known for its popular "Kim Kardashian:
Hollywood" game, said it expects to release the game in the
fourth quarter.
Shares of Glu, which also reported a 78 percent jump in
fourth-quarter adjusted revenue, rose 14 percent to $4.39 in
extended trading.
Katy Perry, who hosted the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show on
Sunday, is known for hit singles such as "Teenage Dream," "E.T."
and "Roar."
"Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" is a free-to-download mobile game
where the user can create a celebrity avatar and interact with
celebrities in a virtual world filled with parties, paparazzi
and luxury homes.
The top-grossing game, which was released in June last year,
accounted for about a third of Glu's adjusted revenue for 2014.
Adjusted revenue rose to $76.2 million, beating the average
analyst estimate of $63.8 million.
The company reported a profit of 11 cents per share, excluding
items, for the quarter ended Dec. 31. This trumped the average
analyst estimate of 2 cents per share, according to Thomson
Reuters I/B/E/S.
