Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATVI) today announced record financial results
for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007.
Net revenues for the third quarter were a record $1.48 billion, an 80%
increase, as compared to net revenues of $824.3 million reported for the
same quarter last fiscal year. Net income for the third fiscal quarter
was $272.2 million, for $0.86 in earnings per diluted share, as compared

$0.46 reported for the third quarter of last fiscal year. Excluding the
impact of expenses related to equity-based compensation, the company had
adjusted net income of $284.9 million and earnings per diluted share of
$0.90 for the third quarter. This compares to adjusted net income of
$147.5 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.48, excluding the
impact of expenses related to equity-based compensation for the third
quarter of last fiscal year.
Net revenues for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2007 were $2.3
billion, as compared to net revenues of $1.2 billion reported for the
nine-month period of last fiscal year. Net income for the first nine
months was $300.7 million, and earnings per diluted share were $0.96, as
compared with net income of $100.2 million and earnings per diluted
share of $0.33, for the same period last fiscal year. Excluding the
impact of expenses related to equity-based compensation, the company had
adjusted net income of $322.6 million and earnings per diluted share of
$1.03 for the first nine months of fiscal 2008. This compares to
adjusted net income of $111.4 million and earnings per diluted share of
$0.37, excluding the impact of expenses related to equity-based
compensation for the nine-month period of last fiscal year.
Robert Kotick, Chairman and CEO of Activision stated, "For
the first time, we were the #1 U.S. console and handheld publisher for
the calendar year, according to The NPD Group. With videogame software
sales increasing 37% in the United States overall, the videogame market
growth exceeded even our own forecasts, and we believe this momentum
will continue over the coming years. Broader audiences are responding to
products like Guitar Hero and we expect that the
demographics for videogames will continue to expand.”
Kotick continued, "We exceeded our quarterly
financial goals. Our third quarter net revenues were a record $1.48
billion. We delivered 27% operating margin, which contributed to a 43%
return on invested capital for the last 12 months.1
Two of our wholly owned, internally developed franchises – Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare™
and Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock™
-- set industry records. Our solid performance during the first nine
months of the fiscal year has already resulted in our 16th
consecutive year of revenue growth and record operating margins. Our
product and market momentum gives us confidence to once again raise our
fiscal year 2008 net revenues and earnings outlook, as we continue to
focus our marketing and sales efforts.”
Kotick added, "We are on schedule toward
obtaining the stockholder and regulatory approvals needed to complete
our business combination with Vivendi Games, which will create the world’s
largest and most profitable independent video game company and should
allow us to continue delivering exceptional returns to our shareholders.
The combined company expects to have the broadest, most diverse
portfolio of entertainment assets in the industry, positioning it to
capitalize on the continued worldwide growth in interactive
entertainment.” Business Highlights
Activision’s record calendar year results
were driven by strong worldwide consumer response to Call of Duty
4: Modern Warfare, Guitar Hero II™,
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Spider-Man 3™,
Shrek The Third™, as well as
its new intellectual property TRANSFORMERS: The Game. In
the U.S., during the calendar year, Activision was the #1 console and
handheld publisher for the first time, had the top two best-selling
titles overall and grew its market share to a record 17.7%, according to
The NPD Group.
Other business highlights:
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was the most popular game
in units worldwide for calendar 2007, selling more than seven million
copies, and the #1 PC game in units and dollars in the U.S. and Europe
for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, according to The NPD Group,
Charttrack and Gfk.
Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock was
the #1 title in dollars for the calendar year worldwide, according to
The NPD Group, Charttrack and Gfk. In the U.S., Guitar Hero®
III: Legends of Rock was the #1 best-selling video game in
units and dollars of all time in a single year. Additionally, the Guitar
Hero™ franchise set an industry
record surpassing $1 billion in North American retail sales in just 26
months, according to The NPD Group.
Spider-Man 3™ was the #1
movie-based video game in dollars worldwide for the calendar year,
according The NPD Group, Charttrack and Gfk.
For the calendar year, Activision was the #1 publisher on the
next-generation consoles in North America, according to The NPD Group.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, Activision was the #1 U.S.
console and handheld publisher overall, according to The NPD Group.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, Activision’s
international publishing net revenues grew 106% over the prior year,
and for the first nine months of the fiscal year were up 119% as
compared to the same period for last fiscal year.
On December 2, 2007, Activision and Vivendi entered into a definitive
agreement to combine Vivendi Games, Vivendi’s
interactive entertainment business -- which includes Blizzard
Entertainment’s®
World of Warcraft®, the world's #1
massively multiplayer online role playing game franchise -- with
Activision, which at closing will create the world’s
largest pure-play online and console game publisher. On January 16,
2008, the waiting period required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act expired and, on January 31, 2008, Activision filed a
preliminary proxy statement relating to the transaction with the
Securities Exchange Commission. The transaction remains subject to
other regulatory approvals, including European antitrust clearance,
approval by Activision’s stockholders, and
other customary closing conditions and Activision continues to target
a closing date for the transaction during the first half of calendar
year 2008.

members of the financial and media communities to visit the "Investor
Relations” area of www.activision.com to listen to the conference call via live Webcast, or to listen to

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Activision provides net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share data
both including (in accordance with GAAP) and excluding (non-GAAP) the
impact of expenses related to employee stock options, employee stock
purchase plans, restricted stock rights and other equity-based
compensation and the associated tax benefits.
Prior to April 1, 2006, Activision accounted for equity-based
compensation under the Accounting Principles Board, Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees” ("APB
No. 25”). In accordance with the APB No. 25,
the company historically used the intrinsic value method to account for
equity-based compensation. Beginning on April 1, 2006, Activision has
accounted for equity-based compensation using the fair value method
under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised
2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("FAS
123(R)”).
Net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share, excluding (in both
cases) the impact of expenses related to equity-based compensation, are
not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), and the exclusion of those amounts has the effect of
increasing non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share (and
reducing non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per share) by the same
amounts as compared with GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP earnings (loss)
per share for the period. Activision recognizes that there are
limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures
as they do not reflect net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share as
determined in accordance with GAAP, and may reduce comparability with
other companies that calculate similar non-GAAP measures differently.
Management compensates for the limitations resulting from the exclusion
of expenses related to equity-based compensation by considering the
amount and impact of these expenses separately and by considering
Activision’s GAAP as well as non-GAAP results
and, in this release, by presenting the most comparable GAAP measures,
net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share, directly ahead of
non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, and
by providing a reconciliation in the accompanying table that shows and
describes the adjustments made.
Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial
measures provide investors with additional useful information to measure
Activision’s financial performance because
they allow for a better comparison of results in the periods reported
herein to those in historical periods. Internally, management uses these
non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the company's operating
results, as well as in planning and forecasting.
This press release also includes return on invested capital (ROIC),
which is a non-GAAP measure determined by taking the ratio of net
income, excluding investment income and the related tax effect, to the
average of total assets excluding cash and short term investments and
non-interest-bearing current liabilities. Management recognizes that
there are limitations associated with the metric of ROIC, as it may be
defined differently and may not be comparable with other companies that
calculate a similar metric. Management believes that ROIC provides
useful supplemental information for an investor, and is a tool which
management uses internally, and that investors may also use, to analyze
and assess profitability in relation to net asset investments.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures (net income (loss)
and earnings (loss) per share excluding the impact of expenses related
to equity-based compensation (including associated tax effect) and ROIC)
to the most comparable GAAP financial measures appears at the end of
this press release. Management does not believe the limitations
described above are material, particularly when each non-GAAP financial
measure is disclosed with its most comparable GAAP financial measure,
net income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share, and the computation of
the metric of ROIC is presented.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to,
not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in
accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings
(loss) per share do not include the impact of certain expenses required
to be recorded in order to present net income (loss) and earnings (loss)
per share in accordance with GAAP.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set
of accounting rules or principles, and the terms non-GAAP net income
(loss), non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, and ROIC do not have a
standardized meaning. Therefore, other companies may use the same or
similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not
provide investors a comparable view of Activision’s
performance in relation to other companies in the same industry.
1Return on invested capital (ROIC) is a
non-GAAP measure determined by taking the ratio of net income, excluding
investment income and the related tax effect, to the average of total
assets excluding cash and short-term investments and
non-interest-bearing current liablilities.

and similar expressions. Factors that could cause Activision’s
actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements set forth in this release include, but are
not limited to, sales of Activision’s titles
in its fiscal year 2008, shifts in consumer spending trends, the

ability to predict consumer preferences among competing hardware
platforms (including next-generation hardware), declines in software
pricing, product returns and price protection, product delays, retail
acceptance of Activision’s products, adoption
rate and availability of new hardware and related software, industry
competition, rapid changes in technology and industry standards,
protection of proprietary rights, maintenance of relationships with key
personnel, customers, vendors and third-party developers, international
economic and political conditions, foreign exchange rates, integration
of recent acquisitions and the identification of suitable future

factors include the further implementation, acceptance and effectiveness
of the remedial measures recommended or adopted by the special
sub-committee of independent directors established in July 2006 to
review our historical stock option granting practices, by the Board and
by Activision, the outcome of the SEC’s
formal investigation, the consummation of the proposed settlement of the
derivative litigation filed in July 2006 against certain current and
former directors and officers of Activision relating to Activision’s
stock option granting practices, and the possibility that additional
claims and proceedings will be commenced, including additional action by
the SEC and/or other regulatory agencies, and other litigation
(unrelated to stock option granting practices) and any additional risk
factors identified in Activision’s most
recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The
