Today, Ubisoft released its earnings figures for the first half of fiscal 2021-22, i.e. the six months ended September 30, 2021.
Yves Guillemot, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said “The industry is thriving and quickly evolving, offering us new challenges and opportunities. Players have a deeper impact on the worlds they are engaging with, and technological breakthroughs are opening up promising new avenues. Against this favorable backdrop, we continue to invest to bring our biggest franchises and new brands to a significantly wider audience. Our roadmap is impressive, with our talented teams developing an ambitious, diverse and exciting slate of games for the coming years. With our rich IP portfolio, cutting-edge technologies, thriving recurring revenues and strong balance sheet, we will deliver meaningful value for players, our teams and our shareholders.”
Frédérick Duguet, Chief Financial Officer, said “We delivered a solid performance in Q2, with revenue well above target. It was driven by the depth and the strength of our portfolio of owned IPs, including the remarkable ongoing success of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. We relied on continued stronger structural trends from our back-catalog, up 23% vs. FY20 while PRI excluding mobile was solidly up 16%. As a consequence, our H1 earnings rose sharply versus two years ago. Looking at the second half, players are having a great time in Far Cry 6, considered by many as one of the best in the series, and we are delivering a strong line up of premium games and dynamic post launch contents.”
