Electronic Arts filed a Form 10-K/A, an amendment to its annual report, with the SEC on Jul 28, 2026. It relates to the fiscal year that ended Mar 31, 2026, for which net income was $887 million, against $1.12 billion in the year before. Diluted earnings per share for the year were $3.51, down from $4.25.1^,2^,3^,4^,5^,6^,7

In preliminary results filed on May 5 in an 8-K, the form a company uses to report a material event, EA reported net bookings of $8.026 billion for the year, up 9%, which the company called a record. EA defines net bookings as the net amount of products and services sold in the period, a separate measure from net revenue, which was $7.531 billion, up 1%. Full-game revenue was $2.148 billion against $2.002 billion a year earlier, while live services and other revenue was $5.383 billion against $5.461 billion. The company said Battlefield 6 was its best-performing Battlefield in a fiscal year, Apex Legends net bookings finished up double digits, and Global Football net bookings were up mid-single digits, with growth across EA Sports FC 26, FC Online and FC Mobile.8^,9^,10^,11^,12^,13^,14^,15^,16

On Sep 29, 2025, EA announced a definitive agreement to be acquired by a consortium of the Public Investment Fund and funds affiliated with Silver Lake and Affinity Partners, in an all-cash deal at an enterprise value of about $55 billion, which counts the shares plus the debt, less the cash. EA filed its original annual report, the Form 10-K, on May 11, 2026. On Jul 30, another 8-K said that all regulatory approvals needed for the merger had been obtained and that EA expected the deal to close on or about Aug 4. The merger closed on Aug 4, when EA told Nasdaq it was complete and asked it to suspend trading in the shares before the open on Aug 5. With limited exceptions, each EA share was converted into the right to receive $210 in cash.17^,18^,19^,20^,21^,22^,23

In the May 5 release, chief executive Andrew Wilson said the company delivered a record year, highlighted by the launch of its Battlefield franchise.8^,24

Our records hold the net income and diluted earnings per share we cite for the year, but not the amendment's own text, so what the amendment adds or changes is outside what we hold. Our records also cannot tell whether the year-earlier figures were restated.25^,26
