Management Comments

“Take-Two’s business continued to outperform during the second quarter, enabling us to deliver strong net revenue and better-than-expected bookings growth,” said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two. “Our outstanding results were highlighted by the series' record-breaking launch of NBA 2K17, ongoing robust demand for Grand Theft Auto V, and increased recurrent consumer spending, including year-over-year bookings growth from Grand Theft Auto Online.

“Our holiday season is off to a great start with a diverse array of successful new releases, including Mafia III, WWE 2K17 and Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, as well as our first virtual reality offering – Carnival Games VR. We intend to support our titles with innovative offerings designed to promote ongoing engagement and drive recurrent consumer spending, including additional free content for Grand Theft Auto Online. Looking ahead, fiscal 2018 is poised to be another strong year for our Company. We expect to grow both bookings and net cash provided by operating activities driven by our release slate led by Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated launch of Red Dead Redemption 2.”

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. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding GAAP financial measures, and may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management believes that the presentation of these Non-GAAP financial measures facilitates comparison of the Company’s operating performance between periods and helps investors to better understand the operating results of Take-Two by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core business, operating results or future outlook, such as stock-based compensation and non-cash amortization of discount on convertible notes; charges relating to business reorganizations; and gains on strategic non-core business investments. Internally, management makes Non-GAAP adjustments to the Company’s financial measures as set forth below to assess the company's operating results and in planning and forecasting. The Non-GAAP adjustments to the Company’s financial measures are as follows:

  • Stock-based compensation – stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that is subject to stock price volatility. 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. In addition, when considering the impact of equity award grants, the Company places a greater emphasis on overall shareholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associates with such grants. As a result, the Company has excluded such expenses from its Non-GAAP financial measures.
  • Business reorganization – 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 and circumstances. 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 recorded for coupon payments. The Company believes the non-cash portion of the interest expense, which represents the accretion of the bifurcated equity component of the conversion option of our convertible notes, is not core to our operations given our intent and ability to settle the notes in shares of our common stock. The convertible notes are accounted for under the assumption that they will be settled in shares, and the Company includes the related underlying shares when calculating if-converted net income per diluted share. Therefore, the exclusion of the non-cash amortization from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures provides management with a consistent measure for assessing financial results.
  • Gain on long-term investment, net – from time to time, the Company makes strategic non-core business investments. Because the Company does not exercise significant control over these investments, it excludes the impact of any gains and losses on such investments from its Non-GAAP financial measures.
  • Income tax adjustment – the Company calculates a provision/benefit for income taxes on a standalone, Non-GAAP basis inclusive of the adjustments noted above. The income tax adjustment reflects the difference between our GAAP and Non-GAAP provision/benefit for income taxes.

In the future, Take-Two may also consider whether other items should also be excluded in calculating the Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company.

Final Results

The financial results discussed herein are presented on a preliminary basis; final data will be included in Take-Two’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2016.
