Electronic Arts Reports Q1 FY20 Financial Results

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--()--Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced preliminary financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019.

“We had a strong start to FY20, bringing rich new experiences to our growing communities for Apex Legends, EA SPORTS, The Sims and more,” said CEO Andrew Wilson. “From great new games to live services with longevity, subscriptions on more platforms and competitive gaming for more franchises, we’re pushing to lead with innovation, quality and choice for our players.”

“We delivered operating results significantly above our expectations, driven by broad strength across our core franchises. This quarter shows how the power of our portfolio strategy, combined with live services, delivers strong results,” said COO and CFO Blake Jorgensen. “We believe we have the right ingredients in place to deliver fun for our players and success for our business.”

News and ongoing updates regarding EA and its games are available on EA’s blog at www.ea.com/news.

Selected Operating Highlights and Metrics

  • Digital net bookings* for the trailing twelve months was $3.730 billion, up 5% year-over-year and represents 76% of total net bookings.
  • During the quarter, FIFA Ultimate TeamTM had more than three million players logging in daily during the Team of the Season in-game event.
  • During the quarter, The Sims 4TM expansion packs and game pack downloads increased 55% year-over-year.
  • At quarter end, Star Wars TM: Galaxy of Heroes had nearly 80 million players life-to-date.
  • Season 2 in Apex Legends TM began on July 2.
  • On July 24, EA Access launched on PlayStation® 4.

* Net bookings is defined as the net amount of products and services sold digitally or sold-in physically in the period. Net bookings is calculated by adding total net revenue to the change in deferred net revenue for online-enabled games and mobile platform fees.

Selected Financial Highlights and Metrics

  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $158 million for the quarter and $1.585 billion for the trailing twelve months.
  • EA repurchased 3.2 million shares for $305 million during the quarter, bringing the total to 11.9 million shares for $1.197 billion during the trailing twelve months.

Impact of Certain Tax Matters

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, three separate tax events occurred:

  1. EA completed an internal transfer of some of its intellectual property rights to its Swiss subsidiary, where EA’s international business is headquartered;
  2. A decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner regarding stock-based compensation expenses required EA to record a tax accrual; and
  3. A referendum was passed in Switzerland, which will change the Swiss income tax rates once enacted.

As a result of these events, EA expects to recognize an income tax benefit of $1.700 billion, or $5.61 of earnings per share, during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. EA recognized $1.080 billion of this income tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and expects to recognize the remaining $620 million once the referendum is enacted, which we expect during the three months ending September 30, 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some statements set forth in this release, including the information relating to EA’s fiscal 2020 expectations under the heading “Business Outlook as of July 30, 2019,” and other information regarding EA's fiscal 2020 expectations contain forward-looking statements that are subject to change. Statements including words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “predict,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “may,” “likely,” “should,” “could” (and the negative of any of these terms), “future” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and reflect management’s current expectations. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Some of the factors which could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from its expectations include the following: sales of the Company’s products and services; the Company’s ability to develop and support digital products and services, including managing online security and privacy; outages of our products, services and technological infrastructure; the Company’s ability to manage expenses; the competition in the interactive entertainment industry; governmental regulations; the effectiveness of the Company’s sales and marketing programs; timely development and release of the Company’s products and services; the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; the consumer demand for, and the availability of an adequate supply of console hardware units; the Company’s ability to predict consumer preferences among competing platforms; the Company’s ability to develop and implement new technology; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; general economic conditions; changes in our tax rates or tax laws; and other factors described in Part I, Item 1A of Electronic Arts’ latest Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors”, as well as in other documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These forward-looking statements are current as of July 30, 2019. Electronic Arts assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement for any reason, except as required by law. In addition, the preliminary financial results set forth in this release are estimates based on information currently available to Electronic Arts.

While Electronic Arts believes these estimates are meaningful, they could differ from the actual amounts that Electronic Arts ultimately reports in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019. Electronic Arts assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these estimates prior to filing its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019.
