This has made our business much more stable and enabled us to deliver a dependable and growing cash flow to investors.”

    Stock Repurchase Program

    EA has announced a new two-year program to repurchase up to $2.4 billion of EA's common stock. This program supersedes and replaces the stock repurchase program announced in May 2017.

    Under the program, EA may purchase stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws, including pursuant to pre-arranged stock trading plans. The timing and actual amount of the stock repurchases will depend on several factors including price, capital availability, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other market conditions. EA is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares under the program and the repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

    Business Outlook as of May 8, 2018

    The following forward-looking statements reflect expectations as of May 8, 2018. Electronic Arts assumes no obligation to update these statements. Results may be materially different and are affected by many factors detailed in this release and in EA’s annual and quarterly SEC filings.

    At the beginning of fiscal year 2019, EA adopted FASB ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Topic 606 significantly changes how EA recognizes and reports revenue; however, it will not materially impact net bookings, EA’s operational metric. For more information about the adoption of Topic 606 and information with respect to mobile platform fees, please refer to the FAQ document, dated as of May 8, 2018, posted on our IR website. The business outlook for fiscal year 2019 has been prepared in accordance with Topic 606.

    EA has also revised its long-term tax rate from 21% to 18% primarily due to changes resulting from recent tax legislation in the United States. EA uses this rate internally to assess operating results and plans for future periods.

    • Net revenue is expected to be approximately $5.600 billion.

    The change in deferred net revenue (online-enabled games) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows does not necessarily equal the change in deferred net revenue (online-enabled games) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the impact of unrecognized gains/losses on cash flow hedges.

     
    4 Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from common shares (calculated using the treasury stock method), issuable through stock-based compensation plans. When the company incurs a loss, shares issuable through stock-based compensation plans are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation as inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
