Electronic Arts on Tuesday reported earnings for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, revealing year-over-year gains for revenue and profit, as well as strong digital sales.
For the quarter, EA posted $896 million in total net revenue, which compares to $914 this quarter last year. EA points out, however, that $896 million was above the company's guidance of $830 million. In terms of profit, that also fell, dropping from $152 million to $125 million for the latest period.
In terms of the full fiscal year, however, things look better. EA posted net revenue of $4.319 billion, compared to $4.021 the year prior. What's more, of the total $4.319 billion in net revenue, a record $2.230 billion came from digital channels.
In terms of net income, EA posted $806 million for the year, up significantly from $534 million last year. Another bright spot for EA during the year was mobile revenue, which set a new record at $524 million.
In terms of key metrics, EA shared the infographic you see below. It contains all manner of huge numbers, but no actual sales figures for marquee games like Battlefield Hardlin e or Dragon Age: Inquisition, unfortunately.
EA will hold an earnings call to discuss these results and answer analyst and media questions today starting at 2 PM PDT / 5 PM EDT. Check back for more.
