Financial Results
 
REDWOOD CITY, CA - July 26, 2018 - Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced preliminary financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018.

“Across new games, new platforms and new geographies, we connected more players around the world to more great entertainment in our first quarter of FY19,” said CEO Andrew Wilson. “We are striving to pioneer and lead for our players, with new EA SPORTS games and content on every platform, a first-of-its-kind subscription in Origin Access Premier and growing competitive gaming tournaments for FIFA and Madden NFL coming in the months ahead.  With every game, every service, and every experience, we are taking steps toward our vision to connect a billion people in play.”

“We started the year strongly as we continued to deliver on our growth strategies with a focus on new genres, new geographies and building engaging live services across our portfolio to drive recurring revenue,” said COO and CFO Blake Jorgensen. “We have a strong slate of products to launch through the rest of the fiscal year, great content coming in our live services, and are continuing to grow our esports competitions.”

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 $3.550 billion, up 13% year-over-year and represents 69% of total net bookings.
The FIFA World Cup content update had more than 15 million unique players during the quarter.
Launched FIFA Mobile in China this quarter, reaching #1 on the top downloads chart for iOS in China and showing best-in-class engagement on the WeChat platform.
Launched FIFA Online 4 in Asia during the quarter.
More than 20 million players participated in the current season of FIFA competitive gaming and had 80% more average viewers over last season.
The Sims™ 4 player base grew 35% year-over-year.
EA received more than 60 awards at E3 this year, including “Best of” awards from the E3 Game Critics for Anthem™, Battlefield™ V, and FIFA 19.

* 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, for periods after the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, mobile platform fees.

Selected Financial Highlights and Metrics
All financial measures are presented on a GAAP basis.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $120 million for the quarter and $1.636 billion for the trailing twelve months.
EA repurchased 2.3 million shares for $300 million during the quarter and 6.2 million shares for $751 million during the trailing twelve months.








Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

At the beginning of fiscal year 2019, April 1, 2018, EA adopted FASB ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Topic 606 significantly changes how EA recognizes and reports revenue and diluted earnings per share; however, it does not materially impact net bookings, EA’s operational metric. For more information about the adoption of Topic 606, including information with respect to mobile platform fees, please refer to the Investor Accounting FAQ document posted on our IR website. Financial data for periods prior to April 1, 2018 has not been restated.

1At the beginning of fiscal year 2019, April 1, 2018, EA adopted FASB ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Topic 606 significantly changes how EA recognizes and reports revenue and diluted earnings per share. For more information about the adoption of Topic 606, including information with respect to mobile platform fees, please refer to the Investor Accounting FAQ document posted on our IR website. Financial data for periods prior to April 1, 2018 has not been restated.

3The change in deferred net revenue (online-enabled games) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows does not necessarily equal the change in deferred net revenue (online-enabled games) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the impact of unrecognized gains/losses on cash flow hedges.

4Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from common shares (calculated using the treasury stock method), issuable through stock-based compensation plans. When the company incurs a loss, shares issuable through stock-based compensation plans are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation as inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
