Snap Inc. reported quarterly sales that missed Wall Street estimates, a sign that the photo-sharing app is finding it harder to carve out a niche in the crowded digital-advertising market. Shares slumped 12% in extended trading.

Fourth-quarter sales totaled $560.9 million, the company said Tuesday in a statementBloomberg Terminal. That was less than analysts’ average projection of $562.9 million. Snap’s first-quarter revenue forecast also came in slightly below expectations.
