of
the
net
bookings
guidance”
for
the
second
fiscal
quarter
ending

2024.

Stressing
the
importance
of
its
EA
Sports
brand,
the
megacorp
outlined
plans
to
introduce
a
new
“socially-driven”
EA
sports
app,
which
will
offer
“a
combination
of
sports
content,
live
sports
data,
social
messaging,
interactivity
and
gaming
centred
on

The

this
year.

“We
are
excited
to

scale
and

of
our
IP

“We

also
introducing

to
serve
our
global
communities
and
attract
new
audiences,
as
we
continue
to
transform
our
business
and
shape
the
future
of
entertainment.”
“We
are
committed
to
growing
our
business
at
scale
and
expanding
operating
margins
through
a
disciplined
approach
to
capital
allocation,”
added
CFO
Stuart
Canfield.
“Our
strategy
gives
us
confidence
we
can
significantly
outpace
market
growth
through
fiscal
2027.”
