CEO Andrew Wilson says that EA “RIGTED” MOMENTUM

Electronic arts CEO Andrew Wilson said that EA “encouraged the momentum” for EA SPORTS FC in the fourth fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2025, after “temporary slowdown” in the fiscal year Q3.

Play update in January – which was the largest update of the live service that was ever launched in FC –
In addition to communicating with the players ’community and our team spoke,“ resulted in the moment of building the real brand with our fans. ” The comments improved and the rhythm of the flow of momentum helped to continue.

This helped in the net reservations in expectations much higher by sharing the player to double numbers after the January update. EA’s participation with fans has returned to the normal levels and ended in the quarter. EA’s share price increased by 5.45 % to $ 162.96 in after hours trading.

Mobile growth with the help of the web store

He said that FC Mobile also exceeded expectations through participation and acquisition on an annual basis as a result of our constant focus on hyperbia, launching a online store in the last quarter, which leads to more clear clear reservations, and a successful program for the year.

This comment on the launch of the web store is important, such as Epic games won the battle of anti -monopoly with Apple About whether gaming companies can promote within their application store apps, they have lower prices than the application store. Web stores can add a lot of traction to mobile games, as it means that the playmaker no longer has to pay up to 30 % of revenues to Apple or Google.

Even as this does, EA also works closely with platforms. Wilson said that FC Mobile will play a major role in deepening the participation of players, starting with the recently announced partnership with Apple and MLS about integrated and coordinated broadcasting with the first match to flow next week.

The acquisition of the new EA SPORTS FC Mobile and daily active users increased on more than 20 % on an annual basis. FC Mobile is still a major strategic initiative to develop football concession.

“A wonderful demonstration of how our fans develop through FC Mobile is the fact that the four largest mobile markets, including areas throughout the Middle East and Southeast Asia, differ from the four largest HD markets.”

He said not only the work of the football game regularly in the best video games in Western Hemisphere, but also one of the largest sports entertainment platforms in the world.

American football games in NFL and College College have grown via the console and a personal computer. Wilson said that the watches that played increased by 68 %, which led to the net reservations of more than one billion dollars – an increase of more than 70 % on an annual basis.

This quarter, American football continued to perform a state championship at the end of the college season in January and Super Paul in February.

Participation and enthusiasm after the season are still playing a more feasible role as players and fans are looking for EA for sporting entertainment in their season. For example, the recent American Football Association’s draft was a major opportunity to continue delivering the Madden NFL and College Football through the high value, timely content to generate continuous participation, communicate with fans throughout the year, and to push the player to keep the EA heading to the next fiscal year.

In addition, UFC 5, F1 24 and NHL 25 delivered a fixed quality connection and depth of the player across the wallet. The EA SPORTS app, currently operating in La Liga in Spain, offers positive early indicators to participate and retain the promotion of the vision of growth to become the leading interactive sport platform in the world.

“We look forward to the future,” said Wilson. “Our focus on daily participation, promotion of societal interaction, and long -term global growth support.”

In a solution, Wilson said: “We have a great ambition about building the largest football community in this country, and we are in fact a leading platform in digital football through interactive entertainment. The launch of university football last year was only the first step.”

“Once again, I acknowledged that there was certainly a request that he had not launched the privilege for 10 years. But I also say, given the quality of the game that our team built, given the level of participation that we had from the fans base,” Wilson added.

He said that the teams adopt a deeper relationship between the college and the American Football Association game this year, in addition to building much greater environmental systems about the joint concession in the coming years.

“We will continue to develop this work in line with the growth of sports and benefit from the constant absorption of young fans with interaction
Entertainment.

Non -athletic entertainment

Although the FY2025 was the largest year in the net reservations ever for the EA ports, it was also good for the entertainment pipeline, and Wilson calls the rest of the company. SIMS has achieved dual growth on an annual basis in net reservations in the fourth quarter on the twenty -fifth anniversary of the game.

EA got fans to re-wage through a new expansion package-companies and hobbies-SIMS 1 and 2, and the release of the manufacturers. Wilson said this represents the best net performance in the fourth quarter for the franchise ever and paves the way for the continued expansion of the Sims world over the next few years.

As for the divided imagination, the new IP of Josef Fares Hazelight has sold four million copies, which CFO Stuart Canfield said it was twice the expectations. However, EA rented people during a quarter in Respawn and other parts of EA as a result of “resource reorganization, cost management, and focus on our greatest opportunities.”

In the 26th fiscal year, EA launches two of our most famous privileges, Skate (which is spelling EA skiing.) And Battlefield.
Wilson said it was designed as a dynamic live service, SKATE is designed to grow alongside her community, providing new ways to express creativity, elegance and progress over time. Early arrival comes in the fiscal year 2026.

The battlefield test

Moving to Battlefield, EA follows a recent approach to the first player to build, test and market this next experience from the next level. Through Battlefield Labs – the largest play test initiative in the history of franchise – EA involves the players early and more than ever, tested on a large scale, and verifying the validity of the basic playing experiences, Wilson said.

“Hundreds of thousands of people have installed it in this matter and really gave us our comments that will help us to control this amazing game and its balance. As we are now moving to the next stage, we will start opening up to a broader audience, bring more throughout North America and Europe, and start in Asia,” Wilson said in the call of analysts.

Through playing sessions with a basic group of the battlefield players all over Europe and North America, EA completed thousands of hours of play, and the response has exceeded expectations: more than 600 thousand players who have participated in laboratories so far, along with 350 million views from the battlefield
Content since our announcement.

“We are still firmly on the right track of the FY26 version, with a major global statement later this summer,” he said. Fortunately, Rockstar Games said that GTA VI is launched on May 26, 2026, outside the battlefield.

“I also want to stop a moment to talk about how to run artificial intelligence in our future. We consider artificial intelligence a strong speed for creativity, innovation and communication of players. Through our teams, we invest in the progress of the new work and their capabilities to integrate in AI,” Wilson said.

He added: “Amnesty International developers use to push the limits of what is possible in design, animation and stories, which helps us to present a deeper and more immersive view. This is related to amplifying this technology to open new capabilities for the future entertainment future.”

Kanfield said that the results of the fiscal year 2025 included the net reservations of 7.36 billion dollars, a decrease of 1 %. US football games exceeded one billion dollars in net reservations, an increase of 70 % over last year. This growth has been compensated by smoothness in Appix legends.

The full game reservations of the full game amounted to $ 2.02 billion, an increase of 1 %, driven by force in EA SPORTS College Football 25 and new versions including Split Fitch and Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which compensates for the previous year’s contributions from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Loftness in EA SPORTS FC 25 Game.

Servics reservations reached 5.34 billion dollars, a decrease of 2 %, reflecting the opposite winds of four points of Apex Legends in addition to a reversal wind of three points from the December and January team in the FC UTIMATE team. These opposite winds were partially compensated by the power of American football.

EA Skate and Battlefield lined up for launch during the fiscal year that ends on March 31, 2026. This is at the top of publications including EA SPORTS F1 25 on May 30, four other EA sports titles for a quarter that ends on September 30 – EA SPORTS College 26, EA SPORTS MADDEN NFL 26, EA SPORTS NHL 26 And EA SPORTS FC 26.

The total environment

One of the encouraging things: Wilson and Canfield did not blame the opposite winds created by the customs tariff or the difficult economy of anything.

Wilson got a question about the macroeconomic environment, and if that will reduce the demand. Will he follow the high price points and check the power of pricing for IPS?

He said that the company’s largest privilege had done well over the decades, although it was not immune micro events. But he said the brands were “incredibly flexible” even at difficult total times.

“We usually saw that our biggest privileges work very well, and there is a good reason for that. Entertainment is a basic human need. I have seen at the beginning of time. At this stage of time, the form of entertainment is the first form of entertainment for most of the world’s population, and this grows every year with our continued growth.” “We represent an incredible value. When you think about the amount of money, the game costs the amount of money it costs to expand and enhance this over 365 days, it still represents an incredible value to obtain this entertainment solution.”

He said that EA believes that he could continue to provide “incredible recreational experiences, even in a world in which we may not be immune from the time of the total economy.

When asked about the delay of the GTA VI, he said: “I am not sure that I can comment on the rest of the industry and launch or launch, unlike the saying usually today, the games take many years for construction and development, and it is unlikely that we have not been prepared early in the fighting. The privilege, or the value that we think will be derived by our players once jumping and start playing now.

Canfield Battlefield has been built over more than four years by multiple game studios. EA has carried this cost over the years, and the reward will soon come from this investment.
