STELLAR EARNINGS !!!!! CRAPPY GUIDANCE !!!!!


$210.7 million, or $1.70 a share, on $767.7 million. By that measure, Take-Two topped the estimates of analysts surveyed by FactSet, who forecast the company to earn $1.40 a share on $707.4 million in sales. Take-Two said its results were helped by strong sales from its "Grand Theft Auto" and "NBA 2K" game franchises. However, for its fiscal fourth-quarter, Take-Two forecast earnings excluding certain items of zero to 10 cents a share on revenue between $170 million and $200 million. Analysts had earlier estimated Take-Two to earn 12 cents a share on $212.1 million in sales for its fourth quarter

Management Comments

“Take-Two’s business continued to outperform expectations significantly during the fiscal third quarter,” said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two. “Our results were driven by robust holiday demand for Grand Theft Auto V, the franchise record-breaking launch of NBA 2K14, the successful release of WWE 2K14, and strong growth in digitally-delivered revenues led by Grand Theft Auto Online. Take-Two was the top video game publisher of 2013, according to the NPD Group, underscoring our positive momentum over the past year.

“As a result of our third quarter performance, we have once again raised our revenue and earnings outlook for fiscal 2014, which is poised to be a record year for Take-Two. Looking ahead, we firmly expect to deliver Non-GAAP earnings in fiscal 2015 and every year for the foreseeable future. This confidence is based on our development pipeline of groundbreaking new intellectual properties and offerings from our proven franchises, which bear the hallmark of our commitment to provide the highest quality entertainment experiences.”
