<p><strong>Electronic Arts Inc </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>) shares are moving lower in after-hours Wednesday after the company reported preliminary financial results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43143872/electronic-arts-pre-announces-preliminary-q3-fy25-results">for the third quarter</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened: </strong>EA said it previously anticipated mid-single-digit growth in live services net bookings, but now projects a mid-single-digit decline largely due to a slowdown in Global Football.</p>
<p>The Global Football franchise experienced a slowdown in the quarter as early momentum faded, the company said. Separately, Dragon Age only engaged approximately 1.5 million players during the quarter, about 50% lower than the company&#8217;s expectations. </p>
<p>Due to the unexpected slowdown, EA reported preliminary results for the third quarter and adjusted its full-year outlook. EA now expects third-quarter revenue of $1.883 billion versus estimates of $2.507 billion, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company anticipates third-quarter earnings of $1.11 per share, in line with analyst estimates. </p>
<p>EA now expects net bookings of approximately&nbsp;$2.215 billion&nbsp;in the third quarter. The company provided a net bookings range of&nbsp;$7 billion&nbsp;to&nbsp;$7.15 billion&nbsp;for fiscal year 2025.</p>
<p>&#8220;During&nbsp;Q3, we continued to deliver high-quality games and experiences across our portfolio; however, Dragon Age and EA SPORTS FC 25 underperformed our net bookings expectations,&#8221; said <strong>Andrew Wilson</strong>, CEO of EA. </p>
<p>&#8220;This month, our teams delivered a comprehensive gameplay refresh in addition to our annual Team of the Year update in FC 25; positive player feedback and early results are encouraging. We remain confident in our long-term strategy and expect a return to growth in FY26, as we execute against our pipeline.&#8221;</p>
<p>EA will report its full financial results for the third quarter after the market close on Feb. 4.</p>
<p><strong>EA Price Action: </strong><a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/ea">EA shares</a> were down 8.56% at $130.16 in after-hours trading at the time of publication, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>
