Today, Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2026, related to the period between July and September 2025.
According to the press release provided by the publisher, net bookings were $1.818 billion, down 13% year-over-year.
Net revenue was $1.839 billion, down from the previous year’s $2.025 billion.
Net income was $137 billion, down from the previous fiscal year’s 294 billion.
This time, the traditional comment from CEO Andrew Wilson is fairly brief.
“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. The creativity, passion, and innovation of our teams are at the heart of everything we do.”
The drop in net revenue and bookings is mostly due to the comparison with the “extraordinary” launch of College Football 25 in the previous fiscal year.
On the other hand, EA Sports Madden NFL 26 delivered net bookings growth year-over-year, with players said to be returning to the game.
Apex Legends also returned to year-on-year growth after a slump, with double-digit growth in revenue.
EA Sports FC 26 HD also grew mid-single digits year-on-year against FC 25 HD.
The launch of Skate. and Battlefield 6 are defined as “successful” and “underscore the strength of EA’s long-term strategy to build community-driven experiences centered on creativity, connection, and long-term growth.”
That being said, Battlefield 6 launched after the end of the fiscal quarter, so its results are not included in today’s report.
Incidentally, the press release is all we’re getting from EA today. There won’t be any conference call due to the pending acquisition. For the same reason, the company also isn’t providing any future earnings forecast.
