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.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 26 today revealed its official Super Bowl LX Simulation, predicting the Seattle Seahawks to win 23-20, and giving fans an early look at how the biggest game of the year could unfold.

This Super Bowl 60 simulation doesn't just forecast the final score, it reflects how the community experiences football, down to individual player performances, key statistics, and game-changing moments.

The Madden NFL 26 simulation highlights several storylines fans will be watching closely on Super Bowl Sunday:

Winner and Final Score: Seahawks defeat Patriots 23-20

Super Bowl LX Most Valuable Player: Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks quarterback, with 26 completions on 36 attempts, 289 pass yards, two touchdown passes, and zero interceptions

Key Impact Performances:

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seahawks wide receiver with six receptions, 84 receiving yards, and one touchdown
Kenneth Walker III, Seahawks running back with 19 carries, 76 rush yards, four receptions for 41 receiving yards, and the game-winning touchdown
Kayshon Boutte, New England Patriots wide receiver with five receptions, 72 rec yards, and one touchdown

Key Offensive Storylines:

Coin Toss: Seattle wins toss, electing to receive the opening kick.
First Touchdown: Darnold starts hot and connects with Smith-Njigba for an early score, and finds WR Cooper Kupp for another touchdown early in the second quarter.
Halftime: New England starts slow, held to just three points in the first half, converting a much-needed field goal before the break.
Second-Half Momentum Shift: The Patriots make adjustments in the locker room, Drake Maye connects with Kayshon Boutte in the end zone giving New England a needed spark. Then, a Seattle fumble gets scooped up and returned for six points by Patriots defender Christian Gonzalez, allowing the Patriots to take a 3-point lead in the fourth quarter.
The Final Drive: After a strong second half comeback, New England is forced to punt back to Seattle with only 42 seconds to play, in hopes their defense can make one more stop. Darnold then orchestrates a legacy, MVP-solidifying drive to give the Seahawks a chance to go for the win, rather than a field goal to tie, on the heels of a solid Rashid Shaheed punt return.
The Walk-Off: It all comes down to one final play from inside the five-yard line, a moment Seattle fans certainly remember from this previous matchup. They could choose to tie it, but they decide to go for the win. Darnold hands the ball to Kenneth Walker, who reaches out for the game-winning touchdown as time expires.
Field Goals: Both Jason Myers, Seattle Seahawks kicker, and Andres Borregales, New England Patriots kicker, convert two field goals each, with no misses.
All Touchdown Scorers:
- Seattle Seahawks:
  - Jaxon Smith-Njigba (receiving TD)
  - Cooper Kupp (receiving TD)
  - Kenneth Walker III (rushing TD)
- New England Patriots:
  - Kayshon Boutte (receiving TD)
  - Christian Gonzalez (fumble recovery return)

Score by Quarter

End of the first quarter: Seattle Seahawks 7, New England Patriots 0
At halftime: Seattle Seahawks 14, New England Patriots 3
End of the third quarter: Seattle Seahawks 17, New England Patriots 17
Final score: Seattle Seahawks 23, New England Patriots 20

Defensive Storylines:

Total Sacks: Seattle notches four sacks, New England manages three.
Turnovers: The Seahawks give up a forced fumble, recovered and returned for a Patriots TD by Christian Gonzalez.
Top Tackles: Seattle linebacker Ernest Jones IV has a day with nine tackles, while Carlton Davis III leads the Patriots with eight.

"Every day, fans play up to 23,000 NFL seasons in Madden NFL, with more than 2 billion games played in a given year. Our ratings systems, locomotion data, and engine power an incredibly sophisticated simulation,” said Evan Dexter, VP of Franchise Strategy and Marketing. “Millions of fans wait for Madden to make the call, since our prediction is the only one that matters. We accurately predicted the Seahawks-Patriots matchup in 2015, and now, over a decade later, we're giving Seahawks fans a reason to get very excited.”

From kickoff to the final field goal, the Madden NFL 26 simulation tracks every detail fans will be watching during the biggest game of the year.

Fans can create their own game day simulation and explore alternate outcomes with EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 26 starting Feb. 5 on EA Play, giving members unlimited access to the latest entry in the franchise just in time for Super Bowl weekend.

Battlefield 6’s First Season Brings New Maps, Modes, Vehicles, and Weapons to The Game While REDSEC Launches With Battle Royale, Portal, and Intense Squad-based Competitive Mode, Gauntlet.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and Battlefield Studios have launched Battlefield REDSEC, a genre shifting free-to-play destination built on Battlefield’s iconic DNA, featuring a bold new take on the Battle Royale genre, an intense squad-based competitive mode called Gauntlet and new ways to unlock the power of Portal.

Battlefield REDSEC

BATTLEFIELD 6 OFFICIAL REDSEC LAUNCH TRAILER

Today players can join the fight for free*, with the launch of Battlefield REDSEC, an explosive sandbox set in the backyards and beaches of California in a destructible environment called Fort Lyndon.

As part of this free-to-play package, players can jump into Battlefield’s biggest map ever Fort Lyndon, and experience an explosive new take on the Battle Royale genre. Battlefield’s DNA is fused with the best of the Battle Royale genre, creating unrivaled opportunities for your team to approach each match and achieve ultimate victory. Players drop into a massive battle with 100 players, explore a massive world for powerful loot, and take down enemy squads through Battlefield’s signature gameplay experience. The power of Tactical Destruction brings an entirely new level of strategy to the genre, as players create their own paths to victory or turn the environment into their own deadly weapon while crushing opposing squads. Each round is a bombastic ride on an incredible cinematic scale that Battlefield is known for.

REDSEC’s free-to-play destination also includes Gauntlet, a new mode which pushes squad competition to a new level of intensity. In this fast-paced elimination mode, 8 teams of 4-player squads compete in a series of dynamic round-based missions in a tournament-style format. Each round consists of 5-minute windows for squads to complete their mission objectives. Prepare for the unexpected as each round, location, and mission will be unique variables.

Players can also go beyond the lines in REDSEC and change the rules of engagement with Battlefield Portal. With this toolset, players can create or discover their own REDSEC experiences on the diverse and ever evolving Fort Lyndon playspace. Create a grueling battle environment with sledgehammers only, fight against the best of the best in a headshot contest or create something truly unexpected, with these powerful scripting and customization tools, all available within the Fort Lyndon sandbox for free.

“Battlefield 6 launched a little over two weeks ago and shattered every franchise record we have, quickly becoming one of the biggest launches of the year…and we’re not done yet,” said Byron Beede, General Manager of Battlefield. “The next chapter of our Battlefield universe launches today with Battlefield REDSEC, our new experience that includes Battle Royale crafted with the series’ explosive DNA, to our cutthroat squad competition mode Gauntlet, and even new ways for our community to build and experience Portal. REDSEC is everything you love about Battlefield – destruction, intense combat, vehicular carnage – in a new, massive playspace that’s free for everyone to experience.”

BATTLEFIELD 6 OFFICIAL SEASON 1 GAMEPLAY TRAILER

Starting today across all platforms, Season 1 will offer three distinct phases of content up through the holiday season. Season 1’s first phase called Rogue Operations launches today and features three new weapons, a new map, a new close quarters and high intensity multiplayer mode called Strikepoint, and much more. The new map Blackwell Fields is the latest large-scale all-out-war experience, set in the arid shrublands of Southern California, while the new mode Strikepoint brings REDSEC’s high stakes gameplay into multiplayer with its squad-focus, one-life experience in 4v4 combat. The mode pits small teams against each other in fast rounds, battling over a single capture point.

Season 1 also sees the release of “Rogue Operations” themed Battle Pass with 100 tiers, 6 total paths and 10 prestige tiers. A premium BF Pro tier and premium store content is also available today.

“We already revealed that this is our most ambitious roadmap in Battlefield history and today demonstrates our commitment to that,” said Vince Zampella, Executive Vice President. “This is part of our promise to deliver a wide variety of quality content on a consistent basis, ensuring you’ll always have something new and unexpected to engage with whenever you jump into the fight."

Two more Season 1 content releases follow this year, with California Resistance launching on November 18 and Winter Offensive launching on December 9. California Resistance includes a new map set in the suburbs of Southern California and a new mode called Sabotage where players must destroy as many sites as possible before the round ends. While Winter Offensive includes special seasonal themed content.

Seasonal content will be released on a consistent basis, adding maps, modes, weapons, and more. All gameplay-impacting features will be free or earnable as part of our commitment to fair play and access for all players. As done with Battlefield Labs, Battlefield Studios will continue to build both Battlefield 6 and REDSEC with players, taking their invaluable feedback into account as these games grow and the Battlefield universe expands.
