Electronic Arts chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen said the company’s performance was backed by great performances of its EA SPORTS titles.
"We are forecasting annual non-GAAP EPS growth of at least 25% at the midpoint of our guidance, and Operating Cash Flow of over $400 million," Jorgensen said.
Electronic Arts president Frank Gibeau said record numbers of players have engaged in the online features and content downloads for FIFA 13, Madden NFL 13, and Battlefield.
"On the strength of our digital extensions, FIFA and Battlefield are the two biggest revenue events in our company’s history. Both are well on their way to becoming billion dollar annual franchises," Gibeau said.
