Electronic Arts reported revenue of $1.99 billion for the quarter from Apr 1 to Jun 30, 2026, up 18.9% from $1.67 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. The figures come from its 10-Q, the quarterly report a US-listed company files with the SEC, which EA filed on Aug 3.1^,2^,3^,4^,5

The next day, Aug 4, EA filed an 8-K, the form a US-listed company uses to report a major event, saying a change of control had occurred: EA became a wholly owned subsidiary of an entity formed by an investor consortium of the Public Investment Fund and funds affiliated with Silver Lake and Affinity Partners. Each EA share, with a few exceptions, was converted into the right to receive $210 in cash, and the total consideration is approximately $55 billion. The 8-K said the shares would no longer be listed on Nasdaq.6^,7^,8^,9^,10^,11

Operating income, the profit from running the business before interest and taxes, was $513 million, against $271 million a year earlier, a rise of 89.3%. Net income was $397 million, against $201 million, a rise of 97.5%. Share buybacks, purchases of EA's own stock, were $0 in the quarter, against $375 million a year earlier. EA also declared a cash dividend of $0.19 per share on May 1, payable Jun 17.12^,13^,14^,15^,16^,17^,18^,19^,20
