EKO HOT BLOG reports that Twitter spent $33m (£27m) on Elon Musk’s proposed deal to buy the firm between April and June 2022.
It also said its number of monthly daily users had risen to 237m – but it reported a net loss of $270m, which was worse than expected.
Musk has since changed his mind about the purchase, and a court date is now set for October because Twitter wants to force through the sale.
There is a $1bn termination fee potentially at stake.
Twitter declined to discuss its latest financial results, citing the “pending acquisition” as the reason.
The report covers the period from April to June 2022.
Twitter has doubled-down on its position on the amount of spam and fake accounts on the platform – the reason Elon Musk had given for terminating the deal.
“We have performed an internal review of a sample of accounts and estimate that the average of false or spam accounts during the second quarter of 2022 represented fewer than 5% of our [monthly active users] during the quarter,” it said – although it added that the figure was an estimate.
