Some statements set forth in this release, including the
information relating to EA’s expectations under the heading

and reflect management’s current expectations. Our actual results
could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements.
Some of the factors which could cause the Company’s results to

sales of the Company’s products and services; the Company’s ability
to develop and support digital products and services, including
managing online security and privacy; outages of our products,
services and technological infrastructure; the Company’s ability to
manage expenses; the competition in the interactive entertainment
industry; governmental regulations; the effectiveness of the
Company’s sales and marketing programs; timely development and
release of the Company’s products and services; the Company’s
ability to realize the anticipated benefits of, and integrate,
acquisitions; the consumer demand for, and the availability of an
adequate supply of console hardware units; the Company’s ability to
predict consumer preferences and trends; the Company’s ability to
develop and implement new technology; foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations; economic and geopolitical conditions; changes in
our tax rates or tax laws; and other factors described in Part I,
Item 1A of Electronic Arts’ latest Annual Report on Form 10-K under
the heading “Risk Factors”, as well as in other documents we have
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2024. Electronic Arts assumes no obligation to revise or update any
forward-looking statement for any reason, except as required by
law. In addition, the preliminary financial results set forth in
this release are estimates based on information currently available

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As a supplement to the Company’s financial measures presented in
accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“GAAP”), the Company presents certain non-GAAP measures of
financial performance, including non-GAAP operating margin and free
cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In
addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do
not reflect all of the items associated with the Company’s results
of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP
financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of
accounting and differ from GAAP measures with the same names and
may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or
similar names that are used by other companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures exclude acquisition-related
expenses, stock-based compensation, restructuring and related
charges, and capital expenditures, as applicable in any given
reporting period and our outlook. The Company may consider whether
other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded
from our non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that
these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional
useful information to better understand and evaluate the Company’s
operating results and future prospects because they exclude certain
items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core business,
operating results, or future outlook. These non-GAAP financial
measures, with further adjustments are used by management to
understand ongoing financial and business performance.
The Company uses a tax rate of 19% internally to evaluate its
operating performance and to forecast, plan, and analyze future
periods. Accordingly, the Company applies the same tax rate to its
management reporting financial results.
Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial
measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to
their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
