Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:EA, ETR:ERT) reported better-than-expected earnings for the fiscal second quarter, though net bookings and revenue were lower year-over-year.
For the quarter ended September 30, net bookings were down 13% year-over-year at $1.82 billion, attributed by EA to the strength of the College Football 25 release in the year-ago period.
This was at the low end of Wall Street estimates in the range of $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion.
Revenue $1.84 billion, down from $2.03 billion in Q2 2024, and slightly below the consensus of $1.87 billion.
Earnings per share $0.54 were down from $1.11 in the year-ago period but above Street estimates of $0.29 to $0.35.
“Across our broad portfolio — from EA SPORTS to Battlefield, The Sims, and skate. — our teams continue to create high-quality experiences that connect and inspire players around the world,” EA CEO Andrew Wilson said in a statement. “The creativity, passion, and innovation of our teams are at the heart of everything we do.”
