Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. Reports Profitable Results for FY 2001 First Quarter
GLEN COVE, N.Y.--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2001--Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKLM - news), a leading video entertainment software developer, today reported profitable results of $10.8 million on net revenues of $72.0 million for its fiscal 2001 first quarter ended December 2, 2000.

Net revenues for the first quarter ended December 2, 2000 were $72.0 million, a decrease of $29.2 million, compared to $101.2 million in the first quarter of the prior year. This decrease was anticipated by the Company`s fiscal 2001 operating plan, and reflects achievement of its first quarter goal. The anticipated lower sales reflects the Company`s revised release schedule and the hardware transition from 32/64-bit consoles to the next generation 128-bit consoles.

Net earnings for the first quarter of 2001 were $10.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year.

Profitable performance for the quarter was fueled by several strong title releases, including Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX for the Sony PlayStation, Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo Game Boy Color game consoles, ATV Quad Racing for PlayStation and the continuing expansion of the successful Mary-Kate and Ashley video game franchise on PlayStation and Nintendo Game Boy Color game consoles. Significantly contributing to Acclaim`s profitability were the effects of the Company`s recent business right-sizing which reduced general and administrative expenses, redeployed product development efforts and refocused marketing strategies to effectively reduce its total operating expenses by $22.7 million (40%) from the first quarter of the prior year.

Additional product releases in the first quarter were: HBO Boxing, McGrath versus Pastrana: Freestyle Motocross, and RC de Go for Sony Playstation and NBA JAM and HBO Boxing for Nintendo Game Boy Color. The Company also shipped its first PlayStation 2 title, Super Bust-A-Move during the quarter.

``The first quarter of fiscal 2001 marks an important turning point for Acclaim,`` said Gregory Fischbach, co-chairman and CEO of Acclaim. ``Our cost reduction efforts have just begun to be realized, our research and development initiatives have shifted almost entirely towards the next generation of game-consoles and our worldwide sales, marketing and distribution organizations have been streamlined. We are encouraged with our progress this quarter as we move forward.``

The majority of gross revenues by platform for the quarter consisted of 59% of 32-bit software, 17% of 128-bit software and 14% of portable cartridges. On a geographic basis, North American operations generated 77.7% of net revenues and international 22.3% for the quarter, which compares to 63.4% and 36.6%, respectively for the same period a year ago.

Mr. Fischbach says upcoming releases for calendar year 2001 will result in a number of significant titles from Acclaim, building on the Company`s brand strategy and the continued growth of PlayStation 2 and the much anticipated introduction of two new systems from Nintendo, Game Boy Advance portable system and Game Cube, and Microsoft`s XBOX, which are all due out before next Christmas.

Key to Acclaim`s release strategy will be the soon to be released All-Star Baseball `02 featuring New York Yankees All-Star and World Series MVP, Derek Jeter and NFL Quarterback Club for the new PlayStation 2 console. Other key Acclaim brands like Max Sports` Surfing: The New Wave and Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2, Shadowman from Acclaim Games and Club Acclaim`s Mary-Kate and Ashley, will be expanding within the existing and next generation consoles.

``We are excited about the potential growth of the entire video gaming marketplace and our ability to create good products and effective marketing and distribution initiatives,`` Mr. Fischbach added, ``We will continue to build on the strength of this ever-growing gaming-console base and produce software developed by the combined strength of our internal studios and external development community.``

Fiscal 2001 Outlook

``While we are cautiously optimistic about the continued positive performance of the Company in fiscal 2001,`` Mr. Fischbach said, ``we do expect a loss in the second quarter of this fiscal year as the holiday retail selling season was disappointing.``

According to its business operating plan and assuming the timely release and expected sell-through of certain titles, continuing support from its lead lender, and giving effect to the continuation of savings from the successfully implemented expense reductions, the Company expects to be profitable and cash flow positive in fiscal 2001.

In the event the Company does not achieve its product release schedule, sales assumptions, or any additional continuing expense reductions described above, or if the next generation game-consoles are not released when expected or achieve timely sell through in the quantities anticipated, there can be no assurance that the Company`s operations and liquidity will not be materially affected.

Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. Reports Profitable Results for Second Quarter and First Six Months of FY 2001

GLEN COVE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 10, 2001--Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKLM - news), a leading video entertainment software developer, today reported profitable results of $0.5 million or $0.01 per fully diluted share on net revenues of $40.4 million for its fiscal 2001 second quarter ended March 3, 2001. For the first six months Acclaim reported net earnings of $11.3 million or $0.20 per fully diluted share on net revenues of $112.4 million.

The Company achieved profitability in the quarter on lower net revenues primarily through the reduction in its operating expenses. Operating expenses for the second quarter decreased by 48 percent from the same period one year ago. Operating expenses for the second quarter were $25.3 million vs. $48.9 million for the second quarter of the prior year, a reduction of $23.6 million, while net revenues for the three months ended March 3, 2001 were $40.4 million, compared to $65.9 million in the second quarter of the prior year, a decrease of 39 percent. Net earnings for the three months ended March 3, 2001 were $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $18.9 million or $0.34 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year.

Profitable performance for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 was fueled by the releases of Vanishing Point for PlayStation® game console and Dreamcast; Ducati for PlayStation game console, Dreamcast and PC; Mary-Kate and Ashley Winners Circle for the PlayStation game console and Game Boy® Color; and Super Bust-A-Move for PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, and the continued sell through of the catalogue. Most notable during the period were the continued strong success of Dave Mira Freestyle BMX and the Mary-Kate and Ashley brands across all formats.

The continuing positive effects of Acclaim`s cost-reduction plan significantly contributed to profitability in the first six months of fiscal 2001 primarily through reducing the Company`s operating expenses $46.9 million or 44 percent when compared to the same period one year ago. General and administrative expenses were reduced $10.3 million or 33 percent predominately through staff consolidation, while marketing and selling expenses declined $30.4 million or 66 percent. The majority of gross revenues by platform in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 consisted of 21 percent of 128-bit software; 49 percent of 32-bit software; 18 percent of portable cartridges; 9 percent personal computer games, and 3 percent of 64-bit software. On a geographic basis, North American operations generated 64 percent of net revenues and international 37 percent for the quarter, which compares favorably to 63 percent and 37 percent, respectively for the same period a year ago.

Moving forward the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2001 will see the release of 18 titles -- 10 of which have been developed for PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, and four of which have been developed for PlayStation game console. The balance of the lineup will be on Game Boy®, and PC.

``The first of these releases, All Star Baseball 2002, shipped in the middle of March and since its introduction, it has quickly moved to become a top five performer at retail, drawing accolades from industry media as the best baseball game for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system,`` said Gregory Fischbach, chief executive officer of Acclaim. ``We feel this success is a result of our investment in creating the tools and engines necessary to succeed throughout this generation of hardware and we fully anticipate the continuation of this success with future offerings.``

Additional key titles for the third quarter are Crazy Taxi and Fur Fighters for PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, and Dave Mira Freestyle BMX Maximum Remix for PlayStation game console. Among the seven PlayStation2 computer entertainment system titles set for launch in the fourth quarter are Quarter Back Club 2002 and Dave Mira Freestyle BMX 2.

``We are excited about our next generation lineup for the fourth quarter. Dave Mirra 1 has achieved sales in excess of 1.2 million units worldwide and has forged a very strong identity and awareness level with consumers. Likewise our Quarterback Club brand shows strong promise as we bring back the proprietary elements and advanced engine design that made its predecessors category leaders. At E3 in May, we will introduce the balance of our portfolio for the calendar year by previewing titles for PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, Xbox(TM) video game console from Microsoft, Game Cube and Game Boy Advance,`` Fischbach said.

Fiscal 2001 Outlook

``We continue to be cautiously optimistic about the expected positive performance of Acclaim for the remainder of fiscal 2001, ``Mr. Fischbach added, ``As we expect to remain profitable in the third and fourth quarters of this fiscal year.``

In March and April 2001, the Company repurchased $6.7 million and agreed to repurchase $7.2 million principal amount ($13.9 million) of its 10% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2002 from certain noteholders at a discounted aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.8 million. In addition, the Company sold 1,487,000 shares of its common stock and agreed to sell 1,660,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate price of $3.9 million ($1.25 per common share).

As a result of the convertible note repurchase and stock sale, the Company expects to report an extraordinary gain in the third quarter of approximately $7.1 million, net of taxes or approximately $0.12 per fully diluted share.

Additionally, the convertible note repurchase will reduce the Company`s interest expense for the balance of fiscal 2001 by approximately $0.7 million or $0.01 per fully diluted share.

``The early retirement of the bonds contributes to the Company`s liquidity by reducing its interest expense``, commented Gerry Agoglia, EVP and CFO.

According to the Company`s operating plan and assuming the timely release and expected sell-through of certain titles, the continuing support from its lead lender, and giving effect to the continuation of savings from the successfully implemented expense reductions, Acclaim expects to remain profitable throughout the remainder of fiscal 2001 and generate sufficient positive cash flow from operations to meet its debt service requirements and repay the remaining noteholders at maturity.

In the event the Company does not achieve its product release schedule, sales assumptions, or any additional continuing expense reductions described above, or if the next generation game-consoles are not released as announced or achieve timely sell through in the quantities anticipated, there can be no assurance that the Company`s operations and liquidity will not be materially affected.
