In Position to Capture the Opportunity
In the past year we learned a great deal that will help us grow and manage our business in the future. We
learned that this transition is about much more than a console upgrade. We learned that consumer
behavior Ì the way they purchase and play games Ì is changing rapidly. We learned to challenge
traditional thinking while planning to exploit new revenue streams that will improve our margins.
Never in EA's 24-year history have we experienced a period of such dynamic change and opportunity. The
months ahead will be deÑned by complex challenges and enormous opportunities for growing our business
and creating entertainment for new platforms, new markets and new consumers.
The team at EA is focused on the future and conÑdent in our ability to drive long term revenue growth
and proÑtability.
Thank you for your ongoing conÑdence in our people, our products and our company.
Sincerely,
Lawrence F. Probst III
Chairman and Chief Executive OÇcer
