Take-Two Interactive rebounds in Q2 on stable demand; stock gains
Gaming company Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) turned to profit in the September quarter from a loss last year, aided by a sharp increase in revenues. The results came in above Wall Street estimates and the company’s stock gained in the after-hours trading Wednesday.
The company, which is the parent of Rockstar Games and 2K, reported a net profit of $25.4 million or $0.22 per share for the September quarter, compared to a loss of $2.7 million or $0.03 per share in the year-ago quarter. The bottom-line surpassed analysts’ estimate.
Revenues moved up 11% to $492.7 billion during the quarter, reflecting the growing popularity of gaming franchises like Grand Theft Auto V and NBA 2K18. During the quarter, the company’s net bookings grew 1% to $583.4 million.
“Take-Two delivered better-than-expected operating results, including growth in Net Bookings, during the fiscal second quarter. This outperformance was driven primarily by Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, as well as the successful launch of NBA 2K19,” said CEO Strauss Zelnick.
