October 24, 2002 - To the surprise of very few, publisher Electronic Arts today announced record profits in the quarter ended September 30. Net revenues were $453 million, in comparison to $240 million for the same quarter last year, with net income adding up to $50 million. The period in question saw the release of new titles in the Madden NFL, NCAA Football, The Sims, and Medal of Honor franchises, major money-makers all, so while it's certainly good news for EA's balance sheet, it's hardly shocking.
"EA is hitting on all cylinders," said Warren Jenson, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer. "For the trailing four quarters, our revenue topped $2 billion for the first time in EA history while our trailing four quarters operating cash flow exceeded $450 million."
Look forward to further updates on EA's holiday lineup -- Harry Potter, James Bond 007, and more -- in the near future

If you guys haven't noticed, EA is becoming more than sports, and thier games aren't exactly flopping on the sales charts. I guess Sega's 3 year plan to beat EA as the #1 thier party financially is slowly falling away. It has been one and one half year, and EA's just getting that much bigger.
