Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2016

GAAP Financial Results

For fiscal fourth quarter 2016, GAAP net revenue grew to $377.2 million, as compared to $300.1 million for fiscal fourth quarter 2015. GAAP net income increased to $46.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, as compared to GAAP net loss of $242.8 million, or $2.99 per diluted share, for the year-ago period. GAAP net income for fiscal fourth quarter 2016 reflects $14.2 million in tax benefits related to video game development costs. GAAP net revenue from digitally-delivered content grew 35% year-over-year to $194.8 million.

During fiscal fourth quarter 2016, the Company’s cash and short-term investments balance increased to $1.270 billion as of March 31, 2016, up from $1.215 billion as of December 31, 2015.

Non-GAAP Financial Results

For fiscal fourth quarter 2016, Non-GAAP net revenue was $342.5 million, as compared to $427.7 million for fiscal fourth quarter 2015, which had benefited from the launch of Evolve™ and ongoing sales from the Company’s more extensive holiday 2014 release slate. Non-GAAP net income was $51.7 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, as compared to $54.3 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the year-ago period. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal fourth quarter 2016 reflects $5.4 million in tax benefits related to video game development costs.

The largest contributors to Non-GAAP net revenue in fiscal fourth quarter 2016 were Grand Theft Auto V® and Grand Theft Auto Online, NBA® 2K16, XCOM® 2 and WWE® 2K16. Non-GAAP net revenue from digitally-delivered content grew 12% year-over-year to $226.6 million, led by Grand Theft Auto, NBA 2K, XCOM 2, and WWE 2K. Revenue from recurrent consumer spending (virtual currency, downloadable add-on content and online games) grew 15% year-over-year and accounted for 55% of Non-GAAP net revenue from digitally-delivered content, or 37% of total Non-GAAP net revenue. Catalog sales accounted for $211.3 million of Non-GAAP net revenue led by the Grand Theft Auto and Borderlands series.

Fiscal Year 2016

GAAP Financial Results

For fiscal year 2016, GAAP net revenue increased to $1.414 billion, as compared to $1.083 billion for fiscal year 2015. GAAP net loss narrowed to $8.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, as compared to $279.5 million, or $3.48 per diluted share, for the prior fiscal year. GAAP net loss for fiscal year 2016 reflects business reorganization charges of $71.3 million, partially offset by $37.8 million in tax benefits related to video game development costs. GAAP net revenue from digitally-delivered content grew 53% year-over-year to a record $697.7 million

Non-GAAP Financial Results

For fiscal year 2016, Non-GAAP net revenue was $1.561 billion, as compared to $1.669 billion for fiscal year 2015, which had benefited from a more extensive release slate. Non-GAAP net income was $218.3 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, as compared to $219.2 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, for the prior fiscal year. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal year 2016 reflects $37.6 million in tax benefits related to video game development costs.

The largest contributors to Non-GAAP net revenue in fiscal year 2016 were Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, NBA 2K16, WWE 2K16, NBA 2K15, and XCOM 2. Non-GAAP net revenue from digitally-delivered content grew 36% year-over-year to a record $835.2 million, led by Grand Theft Auto, NBA 2K, Borderlands, XCOM 2 and WWE 2K.

Management Comments

“Fiscal 2016 marked the third consecutive year of stronger-than-expected Non-GAAP revenues and profits for Take-Two,” said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two. “Our results were driven by the continued extraordinary performance of Grand Theft Auto V, ongoing momentum in our NBA 2K and WWE 2K series, the successful launch of XCOM 2, and our highest-ever revenue from recurrent consumer spending.

“Fiscal 2017 is poised to be another strong year for Take-Two, with anticipated Non-GAAP earnings in excess of $1.00 per share. Our diverse lineup includes the new intellectual property Battleborn, which we released earlier this month, and the eagerly anticipated upcoming launches of Mafia III, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, NBA 2K17 and WWE 2K17. We plan to support these titles with innovative offerings designed to promote ongoing engagement and drive recurrent consumer spending. Looking ahead, we expect to grow Non-GAAP revenues and earnings in fiscal 2018, based on our robust development plan that extends well beyond the current fiscal year. Rockstar Games is of course hard at work on some exciting future projects that will be revealed soon.”

Financial Outlook for Fiscal 2017

Take-Two is providing its initial financial outlook for its fiscal first quarter ending June 30, 2016 and fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 as follows:

   

First Quarter

 

Fiscal Year

Ending 6/30/2016

 

Ending 3/31/2017

 

Non-GAAP net revenue

$225 to $260 Million

$1.5 to $1.6 Billion

 

Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share (1)

($0.40) to ($0.30)

$1.00 to $1.25

 

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciling Items (2):

 

Net effect from deferral in net revenues and related cost of goods sold

($1.39) ($3.64)
 

Stock-based compensation expense (3)

$0.14 $0.43
 

Non-cash amortization of discount on convertible notes

$0.05

$0.14

 

Non-cash tax expense

$0.01 $0.00
 

1)

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, our Non-GAAP net income per diluted share outlook is calculated using the “if-converted” method as a result of the issuances of our 1.75% Convertible Notes in November 2011 and 1.00% Convertible Notes in June 2013, and Non-GAAP diluted net income for the fiscal year is adjusted by adding-back $4.4 million related to coupon interest and debt issuance costs, net of tax. Shares used to calculate our Non-GAAP net income per diluted share outlook are as follows:

 

Weighted average basic shares

86.5 Million

92.5 Million

Add: Weighted average participating shares

-

2.5 Million

Add: Potential Dilution from convertible notes

-

22.0 Million

Total weighted average diluted shares

86.5 Million

117.0 Million

 

2)

All GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciling items are net of tax and per share.

3)

The Company's stock-based compensation expense for the periods above includes the cost of approximately 0.9 million restricted stock units previously granted to ZelnickMedia that are subject to variable accounting. Actual expense to be recorded in connection with these shares is dependent upon several factors, including future changes in Take-Two's stock price.

 

Key assumptions and dependencies underlying the Company’s financial outlook include: the timely delivery of the titles included in this financial outlook; continued consumer acceptance of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4; the ability to develop and publish products that capture market share for these new-generation systems while continuing to leverage opportunities on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC; and stable foreign exchange rates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses Non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures, when taken into consideration with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, are important in gaining an understanding of the Company’s ongoing business. These Non-GAAP financial measures also provide for comparative results from period to period. Therefore, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude the following Non-GAAP items, net of applicable taxes, as discussed below:

  • Net effect from deferral in net revenues and related cost of goods sold – the Company defers revenue and related costs from the sale of certain titles when our post-contract customer support obligations are determined to be significant and we cannot establish fair value for that deliverable. The Company also defers revenue from the sale of virtual currency. These amounts are deferred over the estimated remaining life of the game to which they pertain. As there is no impact to the Company’s operating cash flow, management excludes the impact of deferred net revenue and related costs from its Non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the Company's operating performance, when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, and when assessing the performance of its management team. In addition, we believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide a more timely indication of trends in our business, provide comparability with the way our business is measured by analysts, and provide consistency with industry data sources.
  • Stock-based compensation – the Company does not consider stock-based compensation charges when evaluating business performance and management does not contemplate stock-based compensation expense in its short- and long-term operating plans. As a result, the Company has excluded such expenses from its Non-GAAP financial measures.
  • Business reorganization – although the Company has incurred business reorganization expenses in the past, each charge relates to a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives. Management does not believe these charges reflect the Company's primary business, ongoing operating results or future outlook. As such, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude these expenses and related charges from its Non- GAAP financial measures.
  • Non-cash amortization of discount on convertible notes – the Company records non-cash amortization of discount on convertible notes as interest expense in addition to the interest expense already recorded for coupon payments. The Company excludes the non-cash portion of the interest expense from its Non-GAAP financial measures because these amounts are unrelated to its ongoing business operations.
  • Non-cash tax expense for the impact of deferred tax liabilities associated with tax deductible amortization of goodwill – due to the nature of the adjustment as well as the expectation that it will not have any cash impact in the foreseeable future, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude this expense from its Non-GAAP financial measures.
  • Gain on long-term investment, net – from time to time, the Company makes strategic investments. The Company excludes the impact of any gains and losses on such investments from its Non-GAAP financial measures.

These Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These Non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. In the future, Take-Two may also consider whether other items should also be excluded in calculating the Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. Management believes that the presentation of these Non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information to measure Take-Two's financial and operating performance. In particular, the measures facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and help investors to better understand the operating results of Take-Two by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core business, operating results or future outlook. Internally, management may use these Non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the company's operating results and in planning and forecasting. In addition to the Non-GAAP financial measures provided in this press release, see the Company’s website for additional information regarding our non-GAAP results.

The financial results discussed herein are presented on a preliminary basis; final data will be included in Take-Two’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.
