Annual Report
The following table summarizes the financial performance of the EA Labels segment and a reconciliation of the
EA Labels segment’s profit to our consolidated operating income (loss) for the fiscal years ended March 31,
2012, 2011 and 2010. Prior periods reported below have been restated to reflect our current EA Labels reporting
segment structure (in millions):

Consolidated operating income (loss) .................................... $ 35 $ (312) $ (686)
EA Labels segment profit differs from consolidated operating loss primarily due to the exclusion of (1) certain
corporate and other functional costs that are not allocated to EA Labels, (2) the deferral of certain net revenue
related to online-enabled packaged goods and digital content (see Note 9 for additional information regarding
deferred net revenue (packaged goods and digital content)), and (3) our Switzerland distribution revenue and
expenses that is not allocated to EA Labels. Our CODM reviews assets on a consolidated basis and not on a
segment basis.
As we continue to evolve our business and more of our products are delivered to consumers digitally via the
Internet, management places a greater emphasis and focus on assessing its performance through a review of net
revenue by revenue composition rather than net revenue by platform. Information about our total net revenue by
revenue composition for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is presented below (in millions):
Year Ended March 31,
2012 2011 2010
Publishing and other ................................................. $2,761 $2,632 $2,526
Wireless, Internet-derived, advertising (digital) ............................ 1,159 743 522
Distribution ........................................................ 223 214 606
Net revenue ...................................................... $4,143 $3,589 $3,654
