# Electronic Arts' full-year net order amount and adjusted EBITDA forecast both fall short of expectations

Video game developer Electronic Arts (EA.US) expects net orders for the fiscal year ending March 2026 to be approximately $7.85 billion, lower than the average analyst expectation of $8.06 billion. Electronic Arts also anticipates adjusted EBITDA for the full year to be $2.76 billion, below the market consensus of $2.93 billion, impacted by weak consumer spending and high gaming console prices suppressing market demand.

Electronic Arts is preparing for a $55 billion privatization, with buyers including the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) and a consortium formed by private equity firms Silver Lake Partners and Affinity Partners
