Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Reports Strong Results for Fiscal Second Quarter 2014

Non-GAAP Net Revenue Grew to a Record $1.27 Billion

Non-GAAP Net Income Increased to a Record $2.49 Per Diluted Share

Increases Financial Outlook for Fiscal Year 2014

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2013-- Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO) today reported strong financial results for fiscal second quarter 2014, ended September 30, 2013. In addition, the Company increased its financial outlook for fiscal year 2014, ending March 31, 2014, and provided its initial financial outlook for fiscal third quarter 2014, ending December 31, 2013.

GAAP Financial Results

GAAP results for fiscal second quarter 2014 exclude net revenue and cost of goods sold related to sell-in of the Grand Theft Auto V® game during the fiscal second quarter as Grand Theft Auto Online, a free game available with every copy of Grand Theft Auto V, launched during fiscal third quarter 2014. For fiscal second quarter 2014, GAAP net revenue was $148.8 million, as compared to $273.1 million for fiscal second quarter 2013. GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $124.1 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, as compared to $12.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the year-ago period. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $661.9 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Results

For fiscal second quarter 2014, Non-GAAP net revenue, which includes sell-in of Grand Theft Auto V, grew to $1.27 billion, as compared to $288.0 million for the year-ago period. Non-GAAP net income increased to $325.6 million, or $2.49 per diluted share, as compared to $10.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the year-ago period.

The largest contributor to Non-GAAP net revenue in fiscal second quarter 2014 was Grand Theft Auto V. Catalog sales contributed $118.9 million in net revenue led by Grand Theft Auto IV, and offerings for Borderlands® 2, Sid Meier’s Civilization® V, NBA® 2K13 and Red Dead Redemption®. Non-GAAP net revenue from digitally-delivered content grew 85% year-over-year to $105.5 million, driven by the Grand Theft Auto series (particularly digital sales of Grand Theft Auto V), and offerings for Borderlands 2, Sid Meier’s Civilization V and BioShock® Infinite.

Management Comments

“During the fiscal second quarter, we delivered record Non-GAAP results driven by the unprecedented success of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V,” said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two. “The title received stellar reviews, shattered entertainment industry records, and has already sold-in nearly 29 million units to date. The extraordinary success of Grand Theft Auto V illustrates the positive momentum in our business and consumers’ enduring appetite for the highest-quality interactive entertainment.

“Take-Two has an extensive development pipeline of groundbreaking new intellectual properties and exciting titles from our proven franchises, along with digitally-delivered offerings to complement our core business. We currently have more than ten unique titles planned for next-generation consoles, including multiple releases slated for fiscal 2015. As a result, I am confident that we will be able to achieve Non-GAAP profitability in fiscal 2015 and every year for the foreseeable future.”

Redemption of 4.375% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2014

In August 2013, Take-Two settled its $138.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% convertible senior notes due 2014 (the “4.375% Notes”) for approximately $166.0 million in cash and 3.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock. In conjunction with the redemption of the 4.375% Notes, the Company received approximately $29 million in cash from the settlement of the convertible hedge instruments associated with the 4.375% Notes.

Financial Outlook for Fiscal 2014

Take-Two is increasing its financial outlook for fiscal year 2014 to reflect its strong fiscal second quarter results and positive outlook for the remainder of the year. In addition, the Company is providing its initial financial outlook for its fiscal third quarter ending December 31, 2013 as follows:

In connection with the redemption of the Company’s 4.375% Notes, the weighted average fully diluted share count used to calculate all Non-GAAP per share amounts includes the 12.93 million shares underlying the 4.375% Notes through June 12, 2013 (notice of redemption date) and the 3.2 million shares ultimately issued upon conversion of the 4.375% Notes subsequent to June 12, 2013.

 

2)

The Company's stock-based compensation expense for the periods above includes the cost of approximately 1.9 million restricted shares 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; the ability to develop and publish products that capture market share for video game and computer entertainment systems; and stable foreign exchange rates.

Conference Call

Take-Two will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time to review these results and discuss other topics. The call can be accessed by dialing (877) 407-0984 or (201) 689-8577. A live listen-only webcast of the call will be available by visiting http://ir.take2games.com and a replay will be available following the call at the same location.

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 impact of certain items as follows:

  • 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 that have undelivered elements upon the sale of the game (such as Grand Theft Auto V for fiscal second quarter 2014) and recognizes that revenue upon the delivery of the undelivered elements. 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, restructuring and related expenses – 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.
  • Loss on extinguishment of debt – the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt as a result of settling its 4.375% Convertible Notes in August 2013. The Company excludes the impact of such transactions when evaluating the Company’s operating performance. Management does not believe this loss reflects the Company's primary business, ongoing operating results or future outlook. As such, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude this loss from its Non-GAAP financial measures.
  • Gain on convertible note hedge and warrants, net – the Company entered into unwind agreements with respect to its convertible note hedge and warrant transactions. As a result of the unwind agreements, these transactions were accounted for as derivatives whereby gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value were reported in gain on convertible note hedge and warrants, net. The Company excludes the impact of such transactions when evaluating the Company’s operating performance. Management does not believe these gains and losses reflect the Company's primary business, ongoing operating results or future outlook. As such, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude these gains and losses from its Non-GAAP financial measures.
  • 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.
  • Income (loss) from discontinued operations – the Company does not engage in sales of subsidiaries on a regular basis and therefore believes it is appropriate to exclude such gains (losses) from its Non-GAAP financial measures. As the Company is no longer active in its discontinued operations, it believes it is appropriate to exclude income (losses) thereon 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.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, Non-GAAP diluted EPS has been calculated using the “if-converted” method as a result of the issuances of the 4.375% Convertible Notes in June 2009 (the "4.375% Convertible Notes"), the 1.75% Convertible Notes in November 2011 (the "1.75% Convertible Notes") and 1.00% Convertible Notes in June 2013 (the "1.00% Convertible Notes and together with the 4.375% Convertible Notes and 1.75% Convertible Notes, the "Convertible Notes"). Diluted net income has been adjusted by $3,349 and $6,507, respectively, related to coupon interest and debt issuance costs, net of tax.

 
The “if-converted” method was not used for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 as the assumed conversion would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 and the three months ended September 30, 2012, the diluted shares used in the computation of Non-GAAP EPS include participating shares of 11,107, of 9,083 and of 6,347, respectively. In connection with the redemption of the Company’s 4.375% Convertible Notes, Non-GAAP diluted EPS has been calculated using the weighted average for the 12,927 shares underlying the 4.375% Convertible Notes through June 12, 2013 (notice of redemption date). Subsequent to June 12, 2013, Non-GAAP diluted EPS has been calculated using the weighted average for the 3,217 shares ultimately issued upon conversion of Company’s 4.375% Convertible Notes. The shares used for computing the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 Non-GAAP diluted EPS include 26,455 and 25,910, respectively, shares related to the potential dilution from the Convertible Notes.
