EA Bookings Fall as Company Halts Guidance Ahead of $55 Billion Take-Private

Strong early sales for Battlefield 6 could not offset tough comparisons to last year's College Football surge.

Overview

  • Consolidated net bookings fell 13% year over year to $1.82 billion, missing the $1.88 billion LSEG estimate.
  • Net income declined to $137 million from $294 million a year earlier on the prior-year boost from College Football 25.
  • EA will cease forward-looking guidance and quarterly earnings calls due to the pending $55 billion PIF-led buyout expected to close in Q1 FY27.
  • Battlefield 6 sold more than seven million copies in its first three days, with Skate and Battlefield totaling 15 million players.
  • EA Sports FC 26 bookings rose mid single digits while mobile revenue slipped 4% to $275 million, about 15% of quarterly net revenue.
