Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2007 Financial Results

Fourth Quarter Bottom Line Exceeds Guidance; Net Loss Declines on Revenue Growth and Reduced Expenses Company Reiterates Fiscal Year 2008 Guidance and Provides First Quarter Guidance

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.

Net revenue for the fourth quarter was $292.6 million, compared to $266.6 million for the same period of fiscal 2006. Fourth quarter sales were led by BioShock, NBA 2K8 and Carnival Games, all of which were new titles released this quarter, as well as Grand Theft Auto catalog titles. Distribution revenue rose year over year, as next generation hardware sales were fueled by the strength of new front-line software titles, along with robust demand for Wii products.
