For the three months ending December 31, 2024:
The highlights
"We achieved solid results during the holiday season. Our Net Bookings of $1.37 billion were within our guidance range, as significant outperformance in NBA 2K helped to offset moderation experienced in several of our mobile franchises. At the same time, our operating results surpassed expectations, led by the upside from NBA 2K, as well as a shift in timing of expenses that benefited the quarter," said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two Interactive.
"For Fiscal 2025, we are reiterating our Net Bookings guidance range of $5.55 to $5.65 billion and our outlook for operating performance. Our projections for the fourth quarter balance strength in NBA 2K with a continuation of the current mobile trends, and the shift of some operating expenses into the period."
"Looking ahead, this calendar year is shaping up to be one of the strongest ever for Take-Two, as we plan to launch Sid Meier’s Civilization VII on February 11th, Mafia: The Old Country in the Summer, Grand Theft Auto 6 in the Fall, and Borderlands 4. We continue to invest prudently in our development pipeline and remain confident in Zynga’s potential to create new mobile forever franchises as demonstrated by their ongoing success with Match Factory. As we continue to deliver hits, we remain highly confident that we will achieve sequential increases in, and record levels of, Net Bookings in Fiscal 2026 and 2027.
