Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.99 exceeded our guidance of $0.85 to $0.95. Non-GAAP net revenue in Q3 fiscal 2012 was higher as compared to Q3 fiscal 2011 driven by digital growth and by the successful launches of Battlefield 3 and Star Wars: The Old Republic."

$205M in GAAP loss, nothing new for EA. close to 4 years without profit now and according to their slides (bloody hell, did they ditch the Q and K Form 10s?) they are putting a bit too much weight on TOR and a lot of weight on the new digital market which may signal, at last, a change in business models. Hopefully.
At least PC sales on the digital side are increasing exponentially to the point it seems EA has woken up to that. It remains to be seen how well or badly they will treat PC games and gamers. |
