Electronic Arts posted third fiscal quarter non-GAAP net revenue of $1.57 billion for the holiday quarter, below analyst expectations, but up 33 percent over the same quarter last year. Analysts were expecting at least $1.64 billion in revenue, and the company’s posted GAAP numbers indicate that revenue for all platforms except mobile and PC shrank year over year. Earnings per share came in above the company’s own guidance, at $1.26 vs. the predicted $1.22. EA’s stock is trading down 2.29 percent after hours.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
