Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:EA, XETRA:ERT) reported a surge in sales in its third fiscal quarter, driven by the blockbuster launch of Battlefield 6, although quarterly profit fell slightly despite higher revenue.
The game publisher posted net bookings of $3.05 billion for the quarter, up 38% from the same period last year, marking a new record for the company. Net revenue rose 1% to $1.9 billion.
Despite the strong sales, EA’s net income for the quarter fell to $88 million. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.826 billion for the quarter and $2.522 billion over the trailing twelve months.
The company attributed the record bookings to Battlefield 6, the top-selling shooter of 2025, alongside steady contributions from recurring-revenue titles including EA SPORTS FC and Apex Legends.
EA is in the midst of a $55 billion acquisition deal with an investor consortium, expected to close in early 2027, which the company said continues to move forward.
Shares of Electronic Arts edged 0.4% lower in Thursday morning trading following the earnings announcement.
