What Happened: Electronic Arts ( EA ) reported net bookings of $1.298 billion in the first quarter, beating a Street consensus estimate of $1.25 billion according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The company said the first-quarter performance was better-than-expected thanks to strength across the entire games portfolio, including EA Sports, Apex Legends and catalog games.

EA's Global Football saw year-over-year growth in net bookings with a record quarter for FC Mobile net bookings. The company said EA Sports F1 25 saw strong year-over-year bookings growth, helped in part by real-world integration with "F1 The Movie."

The company reported earnings per share of 79 cents for the quarter.

"We delivered a strong start to FY26, outperforming expectations ahead of what will be the most exciting launch slate in EA's history," Electronic Arts ( EA ) CEO Andrew Wilson said.
