Overview
Our Business
We are a leading developer, publisher, and marketer of interactive entertainment for consumers around the globe. We develop, operate, and publish products principally through Rockstar Games, 2K, and Zynga. Our products are currently designed for console gaming systems, mobile, including smartphones and tablets, and PC. We deliver our products through physical retail, digital download, online platforms, and cloud streaming services.
Our strategy is to create hit entertainment experiences, delivered on every platform relevant to our audience through a variety of sound business models. Our pillars - creativity, innovation, and efficiency - guide us as we strive to create the highest quality, most captivating experiences for our consumers. We believe that our player-first approach and commitment to creativity and innovation are distinguishing strengths, enabling us to differentiate our products in the marketplace by combining advanced technology with compelling gameplay that provide unique, deeply engaging experiences.
Our teams have established a portfolio of proprietary software content for the major hardware and mobile platforms, and we aim to be at the forefront of technological innovation. We have a diverse portfolio that spans all key platforms and numerous genres, including action, adventure, family, casual, hyper-casual, role-playing, shooter, social casino, sports, and strategy. This enables us to appeal to a wide array of consumers and demographic groups worldwide, ranging from game enthusiasts to casual gamers. Most of our intellectual property is internally owned and developed, which we believe best positions us financially and competitively. In addition, we license selectively some highly recognizable renowned brands, especially in sports entertainment. We support our products with innovative marketing programs created by our internal global marketing teams.
We derive substantially all of our revenue from the sale of our interactive entertainment content, which includes the sale of internally developed software titles and software titles developed by third parties, the sale of in-game virtual items and advertising, and live services on console, mobile, and PC. Operating margins are dependent in part upon our ability to release new, commercially successful software products and to manage effectively their development and marketing costs. We have internal development studios located in Australia, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, India, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom ("U.K."), and the United States ("U.S.").
Rockstar Games. Rockstar Games' strategy is to develop a limited number of titles that are known for their quality and longevity in the market for which they can create sequels and incremental revenue opportunities through virtual currency, add-on content, and in-game purchases. Software titles published by our Rockstar Games label are primarily internally developed. We expect Rockstar Games, our wholly-owned publisher of the Grand Theft Auto, L.A. Noire, Max Payne, Midnight Club, Red Dead Redemption, and other popular franchises, to continue to be a leader in the action/adventure product category and to create groundbreaking entertainment. We believe that Rockstar Games has established a uniquely original, popular, cultural phenomenon with its Grand Theft Auto series, which is the interactive entertainment industry's most iconic and critically acclaimed brand and has sold-in over 450 million units worldwide. Our most recent installment, Grand Theft Auto V, which was released in 2013, has sold-in over 215 million units worldwide and includes access to Grand Theft Auto Online. Rockstar Games offers its GTA+ membership program, which engages its player community with an array of rotating benefits, including access to classic Rockstar Games titles. Rockstar Games continues to invest in the franchise and announced that Grand Theft Auto VI is planned for release on May 26, 2026, during our fiscal year 2027. The label released its first trailer for the title in December 2023 and the second in May 2025, and will share more details in the future. Red Dead Redemption 2, which has been a critical and commercial success that set numerous entertainment industry records, has sold-in more than 75 million units worldwide to date. Rockstar Games continues to expand on its established series by developing sequels, offering downloadable episodes, and providing additional content. Rockstar Games' titles are published across all key platforms, including mobile.
2K. Our 2K label publishes a variety of popular entertainment properties across all key platforms and across a range of genres including shooter, action, role-playing, strategy, sports, and family/casual entertainment. In recent years, 2K has expanded its offerings to include several new franchises that are expected to enhance and diversify its slate of games and provide opportunities for sequels and additional content. We expect 2K to continue to develop new, successful franchises in the future. 2K's internally owned and developed franchises include the critically acclaimed, multi-million unit selling BioShock, Mafia, Sid Meier's Civilization, and XCOM franchises, as well as the Borderlands and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands franchises, which we now own following our June 2024 acquisition of Gearbox Entertainment. 2K's realistic sports simulation titles include our flagship NBA 2K series, which continues to be the top-ranked NBA basketball video game, the WWE 2K professional wrestling series, PGA TOUR 2K, and TopSpin 2K. 2K also publishes mobile titles, including WWE SuperCard and NBA 2K All-Stars.
Zynga. Our Zynga label publishes popular free-to-play mobile games that deliver high quality, deeply engaging entertainment experiences and generates revenue from in-game sales and in-game advertising. Zynga's strategy is to have numerous games in concept development and to determine which titles are best suited for soft and worldwide launch based on the achievement of various milestones and key performance indicator (KPI) thresholds. Zynga's diverse portfolio of popular game franchises has been downloaded more than six billion times, including CSR Racing, Dragon City, Empires & Puzzles, FarmVille, Game of Thrones: Legends, Golf Rival, Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells, Match Factory!, Merge Dragons!, Merge Magic!, Monster Legends, Toon Blast, Top Eleven, Toy Blast, Two Dots, Words With Friends, Zynga Poker, and a high volume of hyper-and hybrid-casual mobile titles, including Color Block Jam, Fill the Fridge!, Power Slap, Pull the Pin, Screw Jam, and Twisted Tangle.
Trends and Factors Affecting our Business
Product Release Schedule. Our financial results are affected by the timing of our product releases and the commercial success of our titles. Generally, a significant portion of our revenue has been derived from a few popular franchises, particularly around new releases within those franchises, some of which have annual or biennial releases. Additionally, our Grand Theft Auto products in particular have historically accounted for a significant portion of our revenue. Sales of Grand Theft Auto products generated 14.7% of our net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The timing of our Grand Theft Auto product releases may affect our financial performance on a quarterly and annual basis. Rockstar plans to release Grand Theft Auto VI on May 26, 2026.
To date we have announced that, during the remainder of fiscal year 2026, 2K plans to release Mafia: The Old Country, NBA 2K26, Borderlands 4, and WWE 2K26.
Economic Environment and Retailer Performance. We continue to monitor various macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, such as global tariff policies, that may affect our business in several areas, including consumer demand, inflation, pricing pressure on our products, credit quality of our receivables, and foreign currency exchange rates. Actions we have taken to date and other potential actions we may take in the future in response to these factors could result in negative impacts in future periods.
The economic environment has affected our customers in the past and may do so in the future. There has been increased consolidation in our industry, which is extremely competitive, and larger, better capitalized competitors will be in a stronger position to withstand prolonged periods of economic downturn and sustain their business through periods of financial
volatility. Also, bankruptcies or consolidations of our large retail customers could hurt our business, due to uncollectible accounts receivable and the concentration of purchasing power among the remaining large retailers.
Hardware Platforms. We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from the sale of products made for video game consoles manufactured by third parties. Such console revenue comprised 36.6% of our net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The success of our business is dependent upon consumer acceptance of these platforms and the continued growth in the installed base of these platforms, which could be impacted by global economic factors, including global tariff policies. When new hardware platforms are introduced, demand for interactive entertainment developed for older platforms typically declines, which may negatively affect our business during the market transition to the new consoles. The latest Sony and Microsoft consoles provide "backwards compatibility" (i.e., the ability to play games for the previous generation of consoles). The inclusion of such features on new consoles could mitigate the risk of such a decline. However, we cannot be certain how backwards compatibility will affect demand for our products. Further, events beyond our control may impact the availability of these new consoles, which may also affect demand for our products. We manage our product delivery on each current and future platform in a manner we believe to be most effective to maximize our revenue opportunities and achieve the desired return on our investments in product development. Accordingly, our strategy for these platforms is to focus our development efforts on a select number of the highest quality titles.
Online Content and Digital Distribution. We provide a variety of online delivered products, including direct digital downloads of our titles, and access to additional offerings through virtual currency, add-on content, in-game purchases, and in-game advertising, which drive ongoing engagement and incremental revenue from recurrent consumer spending on our titles. Net revenue from digital online channels comprised 98.2% of our net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025. We expect online delivery of games and game offerings to continue to be the primary part of our business over the long term.
A significant portion of our mobile titles are distributed, marketed, and promoted through third parties, primarily Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store. Virtual items for our mobile games are purchased principally through the payment processing systems of these platform providers, as well as our direct-to-consumer commerce platform. We generate a significant portion of our net revenue through the Apple and Google platforms and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Apple and Google generally have the discretion to set the amounts of their platform fees and change their platforms’ terms of service and other policies with respect to us or other developers at their sole discretion, and those changes may be unfavorable to us. These platform fees are recorded as cost of revenue as incurred. Further, as a result of the platform fees associated with online game sales, our mobile net revenue generally generates a lower gross margin percentage than our Console or PC revenue. Accordingly, the overall product mix between mobile and other game sales may affect our gross margin percentage. We are also continuing to expand our direct-to-consumer efforts more meaningfully across our mobile portfolio to enhance profitability.
Player acquisition costs. Principally for our mobile titles, we use advertising and other forms of player acquisition and retention to grow and retain our player audience. These expenditures, which are recorded within Selling and marketing in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, generally relate to the promotion of new game launches and ongoing performance-based programs to drive new player acquisition and lapsed player reactivation. Over time, the effectiveness or cost of these acquisition and retention-related programs may change, affecting our operating results.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our most critical accounting policies, which are those that require significant judgment, include revenue recognition, capitalization and recognition of software development costs and licenses, fair value estimates including valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation, and income taxes. In-depth descriptions of our other critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion.
Operating Metric
Net Bookings
We monitor Net Bookings as a key operating metric in evaluating the performance of our business. Net Bookings is defined as the net amount of products and services sold digitally or sold-in physically during the period and includes licensing fees, merchandise, in-game advertising, strategy guides, and publisher incentives. Net Bookings were as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | Increase/ (decrease) | % Increase/ (decrease) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net Bookings | $ | 1,423.1 | $ | 1,218.1 | $ | 205.0 | 16.8 | % |
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Net Bookings increased as compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in Net Bookings from our NBA 2K franchise and Color Block Jam, which released in November 2024.

Net revenue from mobile increased by $79.2 and accounted for 53.3% of our total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 54.0% for the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net revenue from Color Block Jam. Net revenue from console games increased by $41.7 and accounted for 36.6% of our total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 38.0% for the prior year period. The increase in net revenue from console games was primarily due to an increase in net revenue from our NBA 2K franchise. Net revenue from PC and other increased by $44.7 and accounted for 10.1% of our total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 8.0% for the prior year period. The increase in net revenue from PC and other was primarily due to an increase in net revenue from our Grand Theft Auto and NBA 2K franchises*.*
Recurrent consumer spending ("RCS") is generated from ongoing consumer engagement and includes revenue from virtual currency, add-on content, in-game purchases, and in-game advertising. Net revenue from RCS increased by $158.4 and accounted for 83.5% of net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 82.0% of net revenue for the prior year period. The increase in net revenue from RCS was primarily due to an increase in net revenue from Color Block Jam and our NBA 2K franchise. Net revenue from full game and other increased by $7.2 and accounted for 16.5% of net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 18.0% of net revenue for the prior year period. The increase in net revenue from full game and other was primarily due to an increase in net revenue from our Grand Theft Auto franchise. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in net revenue from TopSpin 2K25, which released in April 2024,.
Net revenue from digital online channels increased by $181.1 and accounted for 98.2% of our total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 96.8% for the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net revenue from our NBA 2K franchise and Color Block Jam. Net revenue from physical retail and other channels decreased by $15.5 and accounted for 1.8% of our total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 3.2% for the same period in the prior year period. The decrease in net revenue from physical retail and other channels was primarily due to a decrease in net revenue from TopSpin 2K25; and our NBA 2K and WWE 2K franchises.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 62.9% as compared to 57.6% for the prior year period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to (i) the reversal of expense related to the forfeiture of awards (refer to Note 10 - Loss Per Share) and (ii) lower amortization of intangibles assets primarily due to divestitures and impairments in the prior year, partially offset by the acquisition of Gearbox (refer to Note 13 - Acquisitions).
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased net revenue by $1.8 and increased gross profit by $10.9 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior year period.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased total operating expenses by $12.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period.
Selling and marketing
Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $22.6 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower overall marketing expenses for Match Factory!, Screw Jam, Star Wars: Hunters, and Twisted Tangle, partially offset by (i) higher marketing expenses for Color Block Jam, with no corresponding expense in the prior year, and (ii) higher personnel expense due to increased headcount.
Research and development
Research and development expenses increased by $41.6 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increases due to (i) the timing of tax related credits related to certain titles and (ii) higher personnel expense due to the acquisition of Gearbox in June 2024 (refer to Note 13 - Acquisitions).
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased by $3.5 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to decreases in transaction costs related to our Gearbox acquisition (refer to Note 13 - Acquisitions) and legal and settlement fees related to the IBM case against Zynga in the prior year, partially offset by higher personnel expense.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $5.6 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increases in IT infrastructure expense and leasehold improvements for office buildouts.
Business reorganization
Business reorganization decreased by $53.7 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the completion of the 2024 Plan. Business reorganization was $(4.2) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the recovery of previously incurred costs related to the termination of development of one of our titles in connection with the 2024 Plan.
Interest and other, net
Interest and other, net was expense of $35.4 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to expense of $27.3 for the prior year period. The net increase in expense was primarily due to an increase in foreign currency losses.
Benefit from income taxes
The benefit from income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2025 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2026, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The benefit from income taxes was $1.9 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the provision for income taxes of $49.8 for the prior year period.
When compared to the statutory rate of 21%, the effective tax rate of 13.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to tax expense of $5.6 related to an increase in the U.S. and international valuation allowances and $2.9 by geographic mix of earnings and changes in reserves, offset by tax benefits of $4.9 from employee stock-based compensation, tax benefits of $2.6 from tax credits.
In the prior year period, when compared to the statutory rate of 21.0%, the effective tax rate of (23.5)% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a tax expense of $96.8 related to an increase in valuation allowance and tax expense of $8.2 related to geographic mix of earnings offset by benefits of $17.7 from tax credits.
The change in the effective tax rate, when compared to the prior year period's effective tax rate, is primarily due to increased tax benefits from employee stock-based compensation, decreased tax benefits from tax credits, decreased tax expense from changes in the U.S. and international valuation allowance, and decreased tax expense from geographic mix of earnings.
The accounting for share-based compensation will increase or decrease our effective tax rate based upon the difference between our share-based compensation expense and the deductions taken on our tax return, which depends on the stock price at the time of the employee award vesting.
We anticipate that additional excess tax benefits or shortfalls from employee stock compensation, tax credits, and changes in our geographic mix of earnings could have a significant impact on our effective tax rate in the future. In addition, we are regularly examined by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Examinations may result in tax assessments in excess of amounts claimed and the payment of additional taxes. We believe our tax positions comply with applicable tax law, and that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable tax assessments. It is possible that settlement of audits or the expiration of the statute of limitations could have an impact on our effective tax rate in future periods.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law and includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, accelerated deductions for domestic research expenditures and modifications to tax credits. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 and others implemented in future periods. We are currently assessing its impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “ARPA”), among other things, includes provisions to expand the IRC Section 162(m) disallowance for deduction of certain compensation paid by publicly held corporations. Effective for tax years starting after December 31, 2026 (April 1, 2027 for the Company), the ARPA expands the limitation to cover the next five most highly compensated employees. The ARPA did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended June 30, 2025. We continue to evaluate the potential impact the ARPA may have on our operations and Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) includes a corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with an average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a consecutive three-year period. It is possible that the CAMT could result in an additional tax liability over the regular federal corporate tax liability in a particular year based on differences between book and taxable income. We do not estimate any tax liability relating to CAMT for the current fiscal year. We will continue to evaluate the potential impact the Inflation Reduction Act may have on our operations and Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits, referred to as Pillar Two. Many countries have already implemented or are taking steps to implement Pillar Two. Although the model rules provide a framework for applying the minimum tax, countries may enact Pillar Two slightly differently than the model rules and on different timelines. Pillar Two could result in additional tax liability over the regular corporate tax liability in a particular jurisdiction to the extent tax expense is less than a 15% minimum rate. The impact of Pillar Two was not material to the tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2025. We will continue to evaluate the impact Pillar Two and any additional guidance may have on our results and operations.
Net loss and Loss per share
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net loss was $11.9, as compared to a net loss of $262.0 in the prior year period. Basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.07, as compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $1.52 in the prior year period. Basic weighted average shares of 180.8 were 8.5 shares higher as compared to the prior year period basic weighted average shares, primarily due to our equity issuance, as well as normal stock compensation activity, including vests, grants, and forfeitures in the prior year being fully outstanding in the current year. See Note 10 - Loss Per Share to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash requirements are to fund (i) the development, manufacturing and marketing of our published products, (ii) working capital, (iii) capital expenditures, (iv) debt and interest payments, (v) tax payments, and (vi) acquisitions. We expect to rely on cash and cash equivalents as well as on short-term investments, funds provided by our operating activities, and our 2022 Credit Agreement to satisfy our working capital needs. Refer to Note 9 - Debt for additional discussion of our outstanding debt obligations.
Accounts Receivable sale program
On May 19, 2025, we entered into an arrangement to sell designated pools of high credit quality accounts receivable under an uncommitted accounts receivables purchase facility in an initial aggregate amount of up to $215.0 to an unaffiliated financial institution on a true sale basis. As these accounts receivable are sold without recourse, we do not retain the associated risks of lack of payment due to insolvency of the account debtors following the transfer of such accounts receivable to such financial institution. We will continue to collect cash from our account debtors and remit to the financial institution. We will derecognize the carrying value of the financial assets transferred and recognize a net gain or loss on the sale under Interest and other, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The proceeds from these arrangements will be reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
No receivables were sold under this facility during the three months ended June 30, 2025. We may utilize this facility in future periods depending on cash flow needs and market conditions.
Short-term investments
As of June 30, 2025, we had $10.1 of short-term investments, which primarily consisted of bank time deposits with maturities greater than 90 days. From time to time, we may make additional short-term investments depending on future market conditions and liquidity needs.
Senior Notes
As of June 30, 2025, we had $3,050.0 of Senior Notes outstanding.
On April 14, 2025, we repaid our 2025 Notes with a principal amount of $600.0.
Credit Agreement
As of June 30, 2025, there were no borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement, and we had approximately $997.8 available for additional borrowings.
Convertible Notes
The 2026 Convertible Notes mature on December 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with their terms, prior to the maturity date. The 2026 Convertible Notes do not bear regular interest, and the principal amount does not accrete. An aggregate principal amount of $29.4 of the 2026 Convertible Notes remained outstanding at June 30, 2025.
Financial Condition
We are subject to credit risks, particularly if any of our receivables represent a limited number of customers or are concentrated in foreign markets. If we are unable to collect our accounts receivable as they become due, it could adversely affect our liquidity and working capital position.
Generally, we have been able to collect our accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business. We do not hold any collateral to secure payment from customers. We have trade credit insurance on the majority of our customers to mitigate accounts receivable risk.
A majority of our trade receivables are derived from sales to major retailers, including digital storefronts and platform partners, and distributors. Our five largest customers accounted for 83.5% and 83.1% of net revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We had four customers who accounted for 25%, 23%, 17%, and 13% of our net revenue as of June 30, 2025, and four customers who accounted for 25%, 24%, 19%, and 11% of our net revenue as of March 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, five customers accounted for 75.2% and 72.1% of our gross accounts receivable, respectively. Customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of our gross accounts receivable balance comprised 61.0% and 61.0% of such balances at June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. We had three customers who accounted for 25.6%, 22.8%, and 12.6% of our gross accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025, and three customers who accounted for 24.0%, 21.3%, and 15.7% of our gross accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025. We did not
have any additional customers that exceeded 10% of our gross accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025. Based upon performing ongoing credit evaluations, maintaining trade credit insurance on a majority of our customers who sell our physical products, and our past collection experience, we believe that the receivable balances from these largest customers do not represent a significant credit risk, although we actively monitor each customer's creditworthiness and economic conditions that may affect our customers' business and access to capital. We are monitoring the current global economic conditions, including credit markets and other factors as it relates to our customers in order to manage the risk of uncollectible accounts receivable.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and projected cash flow from operations, along with availability under our 2022 Credit Agreement will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, and commitments on both a short-term and long-term basis.
As of June 30, 2025, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries was $1,056.1. These balances are dispersed across various locations around the world. We believe that such dispersion meets the business and liquidity needs of our foreign affiliates. In addition, we expect to have the ability to generate sufficient cash domestically to support ongoing operations for the foreseeable future.
Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 21.7 shares of our common stock. Under this program, we may purchase shares from time to time through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. Repurchases are subject to the availability of stock, prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the stock, our financial performance and other conditions. The program does not require us to repurchase shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time for any reason.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we did not repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market, as part of the program. We have repurchased a total of 11.7 shares of our common stock under the program, and as of June 30, 2025, 10.0 shares of our common stock remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.
Our changes in cash flows were as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||
| (millions of dollars) | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (44.7) | $ | (191.0) | |||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (36.8) | (34.7) | |||||||||

| Net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents | $ | 557.0 | $ | 369.9 |
At June 30, 2025, we had $2,116.2 of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1,559.2 at March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to Net cash provided by financing activities, primarily related to proceeds from our equity issuance of our common stock (refer to Note 10 - Loss Per Share), partially offset by the repayment of our 2025 Notes (refer to Note 9 - Debt). This net increase was partially offset by the decrease in (i) Net cash used in operating activities, which was primarily due to investments in software development and licenses, partially offset by sales of our products and (ii) Net cash used in investing activities which was primarily due to the purchase of fixed assets.
Commitments
Refer to Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies for disclosures regarding our commitments.
Capital Expenditures
In fiscal year 2026, we anticipate capital expenditures to be approximately $140.0. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, capital expenditures were $25.1.
International Operations
Net revenue earned outside of the United States is principally generated by our operations in Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada, and Latin America. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 40.1% and 38.7%, respectively, of our net revenue was earned outside the U.S. We are subject to risks inherent in foreign trade, including increased credit risks, tariffs and duties, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, shipping delays and international political, regulatory and economic developments, all of which can have a significant effect on our operating results.
Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results and Seasonality
We have experienced fluctuations in quarterly and annual operating results as a result of the timing of the introduction of new titles, variations in sales of titles developed for particular platforms, market acceptance of our titles, development and promotional expenses relating to the introduction of new titles, sequels or enhancements of existing titles, projected and actual changes in platforms, the timing and success of title introductions by our competitors, product returns, changes in pricing policies by us and our competitors, the accuracy of retailers' forecasts of consumer demand, the size and timing of acquisitions, the timing of orders from major customers, and order cancellations and delays in product shipment. Sales of our full game products are also seasonal, with peak demand typically occurring in the fourth calendar quarter during the holiday season. For certain of our software products with multiple performance obligations, we defer the recognition of our net revenue over an estimated service period which generally ranges from six to fifteen months. As a result, the quarter in which we generate the highest Net Bookings may be different from the quarter in which we recognize the highest amount of Net revenue. Quarterly comparisons of operating results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the potential loss arising from fluctuations in market rates and prices. Our market risk exposures primarily include fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investment portfolio and variable rate debt under the 2022 Credit Agreement.
We seek to manage our interest rate risk by maintaining a short-term investment portfolio that includes corporate bonds with high credit quality and maturities of less than two years. Since short-term investments mature relatively quickly and can be reinvested at the then-current market rates, interest income on a portfolio consisting of short-term securities is more subject to market fluctuations than a portfolio of longer-term maturities. However, the fair value of a short-term portfolio is less sensitive to market fluctuations than a portfolio of longer-term securities. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments in our short-term investment portfolio. Our investments are held for purposes other than trading.
As of June 30, 2025, we had $10.1 of short-term investments. We also had $2,025.0 of cash and cash equivalents that are comprised primarily of money market funds and bank-time deposits. We determined that, based on the composition of our investment portfolio, there was no material interest rate risk exposure to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or liquidity as of June 30, 2025.
Historically, fluctuations in interest rates have not had a significant effect on our operating results.
Under our 2022 Credit Agreement, loans will bear interest at a rate of (a) 0.000% to 0.625% above an alternate base rate (7.50% at June 30, 2025) or (b) 1.000% to 1.625% above SOFR, approximately 4.33% at June 30, 2025, which rates are determined by the Company's credit rating. At June 30, 2025, there were no borrowings under our 2022 Credit Agreement.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We transact business in foreign currencies and are exposed to risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In particular, during the six months ended September 30, 2023, there was a significant devaluation of the Turkish Lira against the U.S. Dollar, which negatively affected our results. It is possible that further devaluations could occur, which would have a negative impact on our results. Accounts relating to foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using prevailing exchange rates at the relevant period end. Translation adjustments are included as a separate component of Stockholders' equity on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our foreign currency translation adjustment was a gain of $82.9 and a loss of $5.4, respectively. The change is primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized a foreign currency exchange transaction loss of $8.5 and a loss of $2.8, respectively, included in Interest and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Balance Sheet Hedging Activities
We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with non-functional currency denominated cash balances and intercompany funding loans, non-functional currency denominated accounts receivable and non-functional currency denominated accounts payable. These transactions are not designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts is reported as either assets or liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value are
reported in Interest and other, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
At June 30, 2025, we had $276.7 of forward contracts outstanding to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars and $134.8 of forward contracts outstanding to buy foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars, all of which have maturities of less than one year. At March 31, 2025, we had $299.8 of forward contracts outstanding to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars and $97.0 of forward contracts outstanding to buy foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars, all of which had maturities of less than one year. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a loss of $12.4 and a gain of $3.5, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in Interest and other, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the fair value of these outstanding forward contracts were immaterial, and were included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities when in a loss position, or in Prepaid expenses and other when in a gain position. The fair value of these outstanding forward contracts is estimated based on the prevailing exchange rates of the various hedged currencies as of the end of the period.
Our hedging programs are designed to reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the effect of currency exchange rate movements. We believe that the counterparties to these foreign currency forward contracts are creditworthy multinational commercial banks and that the risk of counterparty nonperformance is not material. Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate some foreign currency exchange rate risks, there can be no assurance that our hedging activities will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, 40.1% of our revenue was generated outside the United States. Using sensitivity analysis, a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would decrease revenues by 4.0%, while a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would increase revenues by 4.0%. In our opinion, a substantial portion of this fluctuation would be offset by cost of revenue and operating expenses incurred in local currency.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Inherent limitations to any system of disclosure controls and procedures include, but are not limited to, the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of such controls by one or more persons. In addition, we have designed our system of controls based on certain assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, about the likelihood of future events, and our system of controls may therefore not achieve its desired objectives under all possible future events.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Refer to Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures regarding legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Share Repurchase Program—Our Board of Directors previously authorized the repurchase of up to 21.7 shares of our common stock. The authorizations permit us to purchase shares from time to time through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. Repurchases are subject to the availability of stock, prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the stock, our financial performance and other conditions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time for any reason.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the open market, as part of the program. As of June 30, 2025, we had repurchased a total of 11.7 shares of our common stock under this program, and 10.0 shares of common stock remained available for repurchase under our share repurchase program.
