LETTER TO
OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Strauss Zelnick |July 27, 2026
Dear Shareholders:
We delivered outstanding fiscal 2026 results, including Net Bookings of$6.72 billion which was approximately $750 million
above our initial guidance. Each of our labels exceeded our initial expectations –NBA 2Kdelivered record Net Bookings and
recurrent consumer spending; Zynga achieved its highest level of Net Bookings since we acquired the business in 2022; and
Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto series continued to drive significant Net Bookings and deep engagement with its passionate
community of players.
We are excited about the future and the opportunities that lie ahead – for our players, our Company, and our shareholders.
Fiscal year 2027 has the potential to be a major inflection point for our Company, defined by groundbreaking entertainment
experiences – led by the planned November 19th release of Grand Theft Auto VI– creative and operational excellence, and
record Net Bookings. Backed by our flexible balance sheet and expected operating cash flow of more than $1 billion this fiscal
year, we are positioned to realize the creative and commercial potential of our franchises, pursue accretive M&A opportunities
