Electronic Arts has published its second quarter financial results, recording decreases in sales and revenue despite seeing growth in its sports franchise.
The numbers
For the three months ended September 30, 2025
- Revenue: $1.83 billion, down 9% year-on-year
- Net income: $137 million, down 53% year-on-year
- Net bookings: $1.81 billion, down 13% year-on-year
The highlights
EA reported a 13% drop in overall sales to $1.81 billion, though it noted significant gains in its Madden NFL and Sports FC franchises.
Madden NFL 26 saw returning players which “delivered net bookings growth year-over-year” during Q2. Sales of Sports FC 26 rose to “mid single digits” in comparison to its predecessor.
Apex Legends bounced back with double-digit sales growth, while the successful launches of Skate and Battlefield 6 “underscored the strength of EA’s long-term strategy to build community-driven experiences centered on creativity, connection, and long-term growth.”
“Across our broad portfolio – from EA Sports to Battlefield, The Sims, and Skate – our teams continue to create high-quality experiences that connect and inspire players around the world,” said EA CEO Andrew Wilson.
“The creativity, passion, and innovation of our teams are at the heart of everything we do.”
EA’s latest results come a month after it announced it would be entering an agreement to be acquired by a consortium including Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners.
The deal, valued at approximately $55 billion, is reportedly set to be completed by spring 2026, according to Variety.
As a result, EA clarified it would not host an earnings call for Q2 and “will no longer provide forward-looking guidance” for future results.
