Despite the increased sales, Take-Two still posted a net loss for the quarter of $12.5 million, compared to a $41.5 million net loss for the same period the year before.
While the company's second quarter numbers were significantly improved, Take-Two downgraded its full-year expectations. Previously, the publisher had forecast full-year sales of $1.7 billion to $1.8 billion. Today, it dialed that back to $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion. Take-Two attributed the lowered expectations "to reflect its revised assumed release schedule."
The readily apparent change to that schedule was the movement of Grand Theft Auto V into the company's fiscal 2014, which begins next April. While it was never officially announced for the current fiscal year, Grand Theft Auto V was widely believed to be a large part of the company's original guidance. Yesterday the publisher officially slated the game for release in spring 2013. In Take-Two's earnings report today, CEO Strauss Zelnick today said with the game's window set, "we are poised to generate substantial revenue and earnings growth in fiscal year 2014."
