TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(in ~~thousands,~~millions, except per share amounts)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us," or similar pronouns) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1993. We are a leading developer, publisher, and marketer of interactive entertainment for consumers around the globe. We develop and publish products principally through Rockstar Games, 2K, Private Division, and ~~T2 Mobile Games, which includes Socialpoint, Playdots, and Nordeus.~~Zynga. Our products are designed for console gaming systems, ~~including but not limited to, Sony's PlayStation®4 ("PS4") and PlayStation 5 ("PS5"), Microsoft's Xbox One® ("Xbox One") and Xbox Series X|S ("Xbox Series X|S"), and Nintendo's Switch™ ("Switch"),~~ personal computers ("PC"), and mobile including smart phones and tablets ("Mobile"), and are delivered through physical retail, digital download, online platforms, and cloud streaming services.

Acquisition of Zynga

On May 23, 2022, we completed our acquisition of Zynga Inc. ("Zynga"), a leading developer of mobile games. Refer to Note 1 4 - A cquisitions for additional information.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and, in our opinion, reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Interim results may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. As permitted under U.S. GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions when appropriate. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may affect economic conditions in a number of different ways and result in uncertainty and risk.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

We are reiterating our significant accounting policy on revenue recognition included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, including certain revenue policies applied upon the close of the Zynga acquisition.

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenue primarily from the sale of our interactive entertainment content, principally for console gaming systems, personal computers, and Mobile. We also generate revenue from advertising within our software products.

Game. Our interactive entertainment content consists of full game software products that may contain offline gameplay, online gameplay, or a combination of offline and online gameplay. We may also sell separate downloadable add-on content to supplement our full game software products. Certain of our software products provide customers with the option to acquire virtual currency or make in-game purchases.

We determine revenue recognition by:

•identifying the contract, or contracts, with the customer;

•identifying the performance obligations in the contract;

•determining the transaction price;

•allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

•recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

We recognize revenue in the amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the sales of software products and game related services when control of the promised products and services is transferred to our customers and our performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied. Revenue is recorded net of transaction taxes assessed by governmental authorities such as sales, value-added and other similar taxes.

Our software products are sold as full games, which typically provide access to the main game content, primarily for console and PC. Generally, our full game software products deliver a license of our intellectual property that provides a functional offline gaming experience (i.e., one that does not require an Internet connection to access the main game content or other significant game related services). We recognize revenue related to the license of our intellectual property that provides offline functionality at the time control of the products has been transferred to our customers (i.e. upon delivery of the software product).

In addition, some of our full game software products that provide a functional offline gaming experience may also include significant game related services delivered over time, such as online functionality that is dependent upon online support services and/or additional free content updates. For full game sales that offer offline functionality and significant game related services we evaluate whether the license of our intellectual property and the game related services are distinct and separable. This evaluation is performed for each software product sold. If we determine that our software products contain a license of intellectual property separate from the game related services (i.e. multiple performance obligations), we estimate a standalone selling price for each identified performance obligation. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using a relative standalone selling price method (the transaction price is allocated to a performance obligation based on the proportion of the standalone selling price of each performance obligation to the sum of the standalone selling prices for all performance obligations in the contract). For the portion of the transaction price allocable to the license, revenue is recognized when the customer takes control of the product. For the portion of the transaction price allocated to game related services, revenue is recognized ratably over an estimated service period for the related software product. We also defer related product costs and recognize the costs as the revenues are recognized.

Certain of our full game software products are delivered primarily as an online gaming experience with substantially all gameplay requiring online access to our game related services. We recognize revenue for full game software products that are dependent on our game related services over an estimated service period. For our full game online software products, we also defer related product costs and recognize the costs as the revenue is recognized.

We also sell separate downloadable add-on content to supplement our full game software products. Revenue from the sale of separate downloadable add-on content is evaluated for revenue recognition on the same basis as our full game software products.

In addition to sales of our full game software products, we also offer free-to-play software products, both of which may provide customers with the option to acquire virtual currency or make in-game purchases. For virtual currency and in-game purchases the satisfaction of our performance obligation is dependent on the nature of the virtual item purchased and as a result, we categorize our virtual items as follows:

•Consumable: Consumable virtual items represent items that can be consumed by a specific player action. Consumable virtual items do not result in a direct benefit that the player keeps or provide the player any continuing benefit following consumption, and they often enable a player to perform an in-game action immediately. For the sale of consumable virtual items, we recognize revenue as the items are consumed (i.e., over time), which approximates less than one month.

•Durable: Durable virtual items represent items that are accessible to the player over an extended period of time. We recognize revenue from the sale of durable virtual items ratably over the estimated service period for the applicable game (i.e., over time), which represents our best estimate of the average life of the durable virtual item.

Certain software products are sold to customers with a “street date” (the earliest date these products may be sold by these retailers). For the transaction price related to the license for these products that also provide a functional offline gaming experience, we recognize revenue on the later of the street date or the sale date as this is generally when we have transferred control of this performance obligation. For the sale of physical software products, recognition of revenue allocated to game related services does not begin until the product is sold-through by our customer to the end user. We currently estimate sell-through to the end user for all our titles to be approximately two months after we have sold-in the software products to retailers. Determining the estimated sell-through period requires management judgment and estimates.

In addition, some of our software products are sold as digital downloads. Revenue from digital downloads generally commences when the download is made available to the end user by a third-party digital storefront.

In certain countries, we use third-party licensees to distribute and host our games in accordance with license agreements, for which the licensees typically pay us a fixed minimum guarantee and sales-based royalties. These arrangements typically include multiple performance obligations, such as an upfront license of intellectual property and rights to future updates. Based on the allocated transaction price, we recognize revenue associated with the minimum guarantee when we transfer control of the upfront license of intellectual property (generally upon commercial launch) and the remaining portion ratably over the contractual term in which we provide the licensee with future update rights. Royalty payments in excess of the minimum guarantee are generally recognized when the licensed product is sold by the licensee.

Advertising. We have contractual relationships with advertising networks, agencies, advertising brokers, and directly with advertisers to display advertisements in our games. For our in-game advertising arrangements, our performance obligation is to provide the inventory for advertisements to be displayed in our games. For contracts made directly with advertisers, we are also obligated to serve the advertisements in our games. However, for those direct advertising arrangements, providing the advertising inventory and serving the advertisement is considered a single performance obligation, as the advertiser cannot benefit from the advertising space without its advertisements being displayed.

For in-game display advertisements, in-game offers, engagement advertisements, and other advertisements, our performance obligation is satisfied over the life of the contract, with revenue being recognized as advertising units are delivered.

Contract Balances

We generally record a receivable related to revenue when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment, and we record deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, even if amounts are refundable. Contract assets generally consist of arrangements for which we have recognized revenue to the extent it is probable that significant reversal will not occur but do not have a right to invoice as of the reporting date.

Our allowances for doubtful accounts are typically immaterial and, if required, are based on our best estimate of expected credit losses inherent in our accounts receivable balance.

Deferred revenue is comprised primarily of unsatisfied revenue related to the portion of the transaction price allocable to game related services of our full game software products and sales of virtual currency. These sales are typically invoiced at the beginning of the contract period, and revenue is recognized ratably over the estimated service period. Deferred revenue may also include amounts related to software products with future street dates.

Refer to Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further information, including changes in deferred revenue during the period.

Principal Agent Considerations

We offer certain software products via third-party digital storefronts, such as Microsoft’s Xbox Live, Sony’s PlayStation Network, Valve's Steam, Epic Games Store, Apple's App Store, and the Google Play Store. For sales of our software products via third-party digital storefronts, we determine whether or not we are acting as the principal in the sale to the end user, which we consider in determining if revenue should be reported based on the gross transaction price to the end user or based on the transaction price net of fees retained by the third-party digital storefront. An entity is the principal if it controls a good or service before it is transferred to the customer. Key indicators that we use in evaluating these sales transactions include, but are not limited to, the following:

•the underlying contract terms and conditions between the various parties to the transaction;

•which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and

•which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.

Based on our evaluation of the above indicators, for sales arrangements via Microsoft’s Xbox Live, Sony’s PlayStation Network, Valve's Steam, and Epic Games Store we have determined we are not the principal in the sales transaction to the end user and therefore we report revenue based on the consideration received from the digital storefront. For sales arrangements via Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store, we have determined that we are the principal to the end user and thus report revenue on a gross basis and mobile platform fees charged by these digital storefronts are expensed as incurred and reported within Cost of revenue.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move physical software products to customers. We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in Cost of revenue because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.

Estimated Service Period

For certain performance obligations satisfied over time, we have determined that the estimated service period is the time period in which an average user plays our software products (“user life”) which most faithfully depicts the timing of satisfying our performance obligation. We consider a variety of data points when determining and subsequently reassessing the estimated service period for players of our software products. Primarily, we review the weighted average number of days between players’ first and last days played online. When a new game is launched and therefore no history of online player data is available, we consider other factors to determine the user life, such as the estimated service period of other games actively being sold with similar characteristics. We also consider known online trends, the service periods of our previously released software products, and, to the extent publicly available, the service periods of our competitors’ software products that are similar in nature to ours. We believe this provides a reasonable depiction of the transfer of our game related services to our customers, as it is the best representation of the period during which our customers play our software products. Determining the estimated service period is subjective and requires significant management judgment and estimates. Future usage patterns may differ from historical usage patterns, and therefore the estimated service period may change in the future. The estimated service periods for players of our current software products are generally between six and fifteen months depending on the software product.

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations

Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together requires significant judgment. For software products in which the software license has offline functionality and benefits from meaningful game related services, which may include online functionality that is dependent on our online support services and/or additional free content updates, we believe we have separate performance obligations for the license of the intellectual property and the game related services. Additionally, because each of our product offerings has unique features and because we do not sell our game related services separately, we typically do not have observable standalone selling prices for each performance obligation. Significant judgment and estimates are also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation and whether a discount needs to be allocated based on the relative standalone selling price of our products and services.

To estimate the standalone selling price for each performance obligation, we consider, to the extent available, a variety of data points such as past selling prices of the product or other similar products, competitor pricing, and market data. If observable pricing is not available, we use an expected cost-plus margin approach taking into account relevant costs including product development, post-release support, marketing and licensing costs. This evaluation is performed on a product by product basis.

Price Protection, Allowances for Returns, and Sales Incentives

We grant price protection and accept returns in connection with our distribution arrangements. Following reductions in the price of our physical software products, we grant price protection to permit customers to take credits against amounts they owe us with respect to merchandise unsold by them. Our customers must satisfy certain conditions to entitle them to receive price protection or return products, including compliance with applicable payment terms and confirmation of field inventory levels.

At contract inception and at each subsequent reporting period, we make estimates of price protection and product returns related to current period software product revenue. We estimate the amount of price protection and returns for software products based upon, among other factors, historical experience and performance of the titles in similar genres, historical performance of the hardware platform, customer inventory levels, analysis of sell-through rates, sales force and retail customer feedback, industry pricing, market conditions, and changes in demand and acceptance of our products by consumers.

We enter into various sales incentive arrangements with our customers, such as rebates, discounts, and cooperative marketing. These incentives are considered adjustments to the transaction price of our software products and are reflected as reductions to revenue. Sales incentives incurred by us for distinct goods or services received, such as the appearance of our products in a customer’s national circular ad, are included in Selling and marketing expense if there is a separate identifiable benefit and the benefit’s fair value can be established. Otherwise, such sales incentives are reflected as a reduction to revenue.

Revenue is recognized after deducting the estimated price protection, allowances for returns, and sales incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. Price protection, allowances for returns, and sales incentives are considered refund liabilities and are reported within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Significant Estimates

Significant management judgment and estimates must be used in connection with many of the determinations described above, such as estimating the fair value allocation to distinct and separable performance obligations, the service period over which to defer recognition of revenue, and the amounts of price protection. We believe we can make reliable estimates. However, actual results may differ from initial estimates due to changes in circumstances, market conditions, and assumptions. Adjustments to estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.

Payment Terms

Our payment terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide net 30- to 60-day terms. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for ~~Income Taxes~~Government Assistance

In ~~December 2019,~~November 2021, the FASB issued ASU ~~2019-12,~~2021-10, ~~Income Taxes~~Government Assistance (Topic ~~740)~~832): ~~Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes~~Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which ~~enhances~~requires annual disclosures that increase the transparency of transactions involving government grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and ~~simplifies various aspects~~(3) the effect of those transactions on any entity's financial statements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 with the new disclosures required on an annual basis, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted the new guidance on April 1, 2022 and will include the disclosures as required in its annual reporting with respect to any government assistance or grants subject to the scope of the ~~income tax accounting~~ guidance ~~including requirements such as tax basis step-up~~to the extent material.

Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. Under this new standard, deferred revenue acquired in ~~goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not~~ a business combination ~~ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law.~~is measured pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than its assumed acquisition date fair value under the current guidance. We adopted this ~~update~~ effective April 1, ~~2021.~~2022. The adoption of this ~~standard~~update did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and was applied to our acquisition of Zynga. Refer to Note 1 4 - Acquisitions.

Accounting for Convertible Debt

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models and generally requiring that a ~~material~~convertible instrument be accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost, with no conversion feature separately recorded in equity. Similarly, no portion of issuance costs will be allocated to equity under the ASU. Further, the ASU amends the earnings per share guidance by requiring the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments to follow the if-converted method, with use of the treasury stock method no longer permitted. We adopted this effective April 1, 2022. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Deferred Revenue

We record deferred revenue when payments are due or received in advance of the fulfillment of our associated performance obligations. ~~Deferred~~The balance of deferred revenue, including current and non-current balances as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and March 31, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$1,003,143~~$1,101.2 and ~~$965,331,~~$936.2, respectively. For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the additions to our deferred revenue balance were primarily due ~~primarily~~ to the acquisition of Zynga (Note 1 4 - Acquisition s), which added $333.1 to our deferred revenue balance and cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, while the reductions to our deferred revenue balance were due primarily to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.

During the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, $439.7 and ~~2020, $278,306 and $241,732,~~$463.2, respectively, of revenue was recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the respective period. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021 and 2020, $741,547 and $612,946, respectively,~~2022, $80.3 of revenue was recognized ~~that was included in~~from the deferred revenue balance atacquired from the ~~beginning of the respective period.~~Zynga acquisition. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the aggregate amount of contract revenue allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations is ~~$1,152,076,~~$1,254.4, which includes our deferred revenue balances and amounts to be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. We expect to recognize approximately ~~$1,035,546~~$1,179.5 of this balance as revenue over the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter. This balance does not include an estimate for variable consideration arising from sales-based royalty license revenue in excess of the contractual minimum guarantee.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, our contract asset balances were ~~$107,865~~$101.3 and ~~$105,554, respectively, which are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~

3. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

In November 2017, we entered into a ~~new~~ management agreement (the "2017 Management Agreement"), with ZelnickMedia Corporation ("ZelnickMedia") that ~~replaces~~replaced our previous agreement with ZelnickMedia and pursuant to which ZelnickMedia ~~provides~~was to provide financial and management consulting services to the Company through March 31, 2024. The 2017 Management Agreement became effective January 1, 2018. As part of the 2017 Management Agreement, Strauss Zelnick, the President of ZelnickMedia, ~~continues~~continued to serve as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Karl Slatoff, a partner of ZelnickMedia, ~~continues~~continued to serve as President of the Company. The 2017 Management Agreement ~~provides~~provided for an annual management fee of ~~$3,100~~$3.1 over the term of the agreement and a maximum annual bonus opportunity of ~~$7,440~~$7.4 over the term of the agreement, based on the Company achieving certain performance thresholds.

In May 2022, we entered into a new management agreement (the "2022 Management Agreement") with ZelnickMedia that replaced the 2017 Management Agreement and pursuant to which ZelnickMedia will continue to provide financial and management consulting services to the Company through March 31, 2029. The 2022 Management Agreement became effective on May 23, 2022, when our acquisition of Zynga closed (refer to Note 1 4 - Acquisitions). On May 21, 2022, ZelnickMedia assigned substantially all of its rights and obligations and other liabilities under the 2022 Management Agreement to ZMC Advisors, L.P. ("ZMC Advisors"). References to "ZMC" herein shall mean either ZelnickMedia or ZMC Advisors, as appropriate. As part of the 2022 Management Agreement, Strauss Zelnick continues to serve as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Karl Slatoff continues to serve as President of the Company. The 2022 Management Agreement provides for an annual management fee of $3.3 over the term of the agreement and a maximum annual bonus opportunity of $13.2 over the term of the agreement, based on the Company achieving certain performance thresholds. In connection with the 2022 Management Agreement, we have and expect to grant time-based and performance-based restricted units to ZMC.

In consideration for ~~ZelnickMedia's~~ZMC's services, we recorded consulting expense (a component of General and administrative expenses) of ~~$1,705~~$2.7 and ~~$2,605~~$1.7 during the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020, respectively, and $3,410 and $5,270 during the six months ended September 30,~~ 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively. We recorded stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units granted to ZelnickMedia, which is included in General and administrative expenses, of $7,365 and $6,887 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $14,583 and $13,657 during the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The performance-based restricted stock units, of which ~~50%~~certain are tied to "IP" and ~~50% to~~ "RCS" (as defined in the relevant grant agreement), are eligible to vest based on the Company's achievement of certain performance metrics (as defined in the relevant grant agreement) of either individual product releases of "IP" or "RCS" measured over a ~~two-year~~two- or three-year period. The target number of performance-based restricted stock units that may be earned pursuant to these grants is equal to 50% of the grant amounts set forth in the above table (the numbers in the table represent the maximum number of performance-based restricted stock units that may be earned). At the end of each reporting period, we assess the probability of each performance metric and upon determination that certain thresholds are probable, we record expense for the unvested portion of the shares of performance-based restricted stock units.

The unvested portion of time-based, market-based and performance-based restricted stock units held by ~~ZelnickMedia~~ZMC were ~~449~~1.1 and ~~588~~0.4 as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring fair value measurements

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

Table of Contents

We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of "observable inputs" and minimize the use of "unobservable inputs." The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

~~Table of Contents~~

•Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The table below segregates all assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (which is measured at least annually) into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date.

We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, nor did we have any transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

In connection with the Nordeus acquisition ~~(see~~ ~~Note 15 - Acquisitions~~), we completed on June 1, 2021, our consideration included a contingent earn-out consideration arrangement that requires us to pay an aggregate of $153.0 in cash if Nordeus achieves certain performance measures over the 12- and 24-month periods following the closing. We recorded ~~$61,055~~$61.1 as the initial fair value of contingent earn-out consideration. The fair value was estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which included significant unobservable Level 3 inputs, such as projected financial performance over the earn-out period along with estimates for market volatility and the discount rate applicable to potential cash payouts.

During the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we recognized General and administrative expense of ~~$20,000~~$6.3 within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the increase in fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration liability associated with the Nordeus acquisition, which increased the fair value of the contingent consideration liability to ~~$81,181.~~$115.3 and is recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as

Table of Contents

of June 30, 2022. The increase resulted from Nordeus achieving certain performance measures in the first 12-month period and a higher probability of Nordeus achieving certain performance measures in the ~~12- and 24-month periods following~~second 12-month period.

The remaining contingent consideration of $7.5 relates to immaterial earn-out arrangements from Zynga's historical acquisitions. For these acquisitions, we estimated the ~~closing.~~

~~We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2~~acquisition date fair value ~~measurements, nor did we have any transfers into or out~~ of ~~Level 3 during~~ the ~~six months ended September 30, 2021.~~contingent consideration obligations using a discounted cash flow model.

Nonrecurring fair value measurements

We hold equity investments in certain unconsolidated entities without a readily determinable fair value. These strategic investments represent less than a 20% ownership interest in each of the privately-held affiliates, and we do not maintain significant influence over or control of the entities. We have elected the practical expedient in Topic 321, Investments-Equity Securities, to measure these investments at cost less any impairment, adjusted for observable price changes, if any. Based on these considerations, we estimate that the carrying value of the acquired shares represents the fair value of the investment. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we held ~~$20,000~~$25.0 of such investments in Other assets within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Our risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce the volatility ~~of earnings and cash flows~~ associated with changes in foreign currency exchange ~~rates.~~rates on earnings, cash flows, and certain balance sheet amounts. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for speculative or trading purposes. We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we measure those instruments at fair value. We classify cash flows from derivative transactions as cash flows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Bridge Loan

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, in connection with our acquisition of Zynga (refer to Note 1 4 - Acquisitions), we received a bridge loan commitment of $2,700.0. The bridge loan commitment was terminated in April 2022 as a result of our Senior Notes debt offering discussed below. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized expense related to interest and fees of $6.1 related to the bridge loan commitment within Interest and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At June 30, 2022, all deferred financing costs related to the bridge loan commitment were fully amortized.

Senior Notes

On April 14, 2022, we completed our offering and sale of $2,700.0 aggregate principal amount of our senior notes, consisting of $1,000.0 principal amount of our 3.300% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), $600.0 principal amount of our 3.550% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), $600.0 principal amount of our 3.700% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), and $500.0 principal amount of our 4.000% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes” and, together with the 2024 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2027 Notes, the “Senior Notes”).

The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of April 14, 2022 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and (i) a first supplemental indenture, with respect to the 2024 Notes, (ii) a second supplemental indenture, with respect to the 2025 Notes, (iii) a third supplemental indenture, with respect to the 2027 Notes and (iv) a fourth supplemental indenture, with respect to the 2032 Notes (collectively, the “Supplemental Indentures” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), each dated as of April 14, 2022, between the Company and the Trustee.

The Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our other existing and future unsubordinated obligations. The 2024 Notes mature on March 28, 2024 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.300%. The 2025 Notes mature on April 14, 2025 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.550%. The 2027 Notes mature on April 14, 2027 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.700%. The 2032 Notes mature on April 14, 2032 and bear interest at an annual rate of 4.000%. We will pay interest on the 2024 Notes semi-annually on March 28 and September 28 of each year, commencing September 28, 2022. We will pay interest on each of the 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, and 2032 Notes semi-annually on April 14 and October 14 of each year, commencing October 14, 2022. The proceeds were used to finance a portion of our acquisition of Zynga.

The Senior Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund payments. We may redeem each series of the Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the applicable redemption prices set forth in each Supplemental Indenture. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in each of the Supplemental Indentures) with respect to a series of the Senior Notes, each holder of the Senior Notes of such series will have the right to require the Company to purchase that holder’s Notes of such series at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem all the Senior Notes.

Table of Contents

In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, all outstanding Senior Notes will become due and payable immediately. If any other event of default specified in the Indenture occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of the Senior Notes, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of that series of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of such series of Senior Notes immediately due and payable.

The Indenture contains certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to grant liens without equally securing the Senior Notes, or to enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and limitations, as further provided in the Indenture.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized interest expense of $20.2 within Interest and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Debt issuance costs of $19.1 and original issuance discount of $1.3 were incurred in connection with the Senior Notes. These debt issuance costs and original issuance discount are included as a reduction of the debt within Long-term debt, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and will be amortized into Interest and other, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations over the contractual term of the Senior Notes. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $1.2 of amortization of debt issuance costs and $0.1 of amortization of the original issuance discount.

As of June 30, 2022, $2,681.0 was recorded within Long term debt, net on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the fair value (Level 2) of the Senior Notes was $2,630.9.

Credit Agreement

On May 23, 2022, we entered into a new unsecured Credit Agreement (the "2022 Credit Agreement"), which replaced in its entirety the Company's prior Credit Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2019, ~~we entered into an unsecured Credit Agreement,~~which was paid off in full and on June 28, 2021, we amended our unsecured Credit Agreement solely to increase the commitments under the facility by $50,000 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) that runs through February 8, 2024.terminated. The 2022 Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured five-year revolving credit facility with commitments of ~~$250,000,~~$500.0, including sublimits for (i) the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate face amount of up to ~~$25,000~~$100.0 and (ii) borrowings and letters of credit denominated in Pounds Sterling, Euros, and Canadian Dollars in an aggregate principal amount of up to ~~$25,000.~~$100.0. In addition, the 2022 Credit Agreement contains uncommitted incremental capacity permitting the incurrence of up to an additional ~~$200,000~~amount not to exceed the greater of $250.0 and 35.0% of the Company's Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in ~~term loans or revolving credit facilities.~~the 2022 Credit Agreement).

Loans under the 2022 Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of (a) ~~0.250%~~0.000% to ~~0.750%~~0.625% above ~~a certain~~an alternate base rate (3.25% at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021)~~2022) or (b) ~~1.125%~~1.000% to ~~1.750%~~1.625% above ~~LIBOR (approximately 0.09%~~Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), approximately 0.10% at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021),~~2022, which rates are determined by ~~reference to our consolidated total net leverage ratio.

Upon execution of the 2022 Credit Agreement, we incurred $3.5 of debt issuance costs that were capitalized within Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the five-year term of the 2022 Credit Agreement, with the expense recorded within Interest and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we amortized $0.1 of these debt issuance costs.

On June 22, 2022, we drew down $200.0 at approximately 3.28% from our facility under the 2022 Credit Agreement, which constitutes senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company, ranking equally with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured unsubordinated obligations, and will record interest within Interest and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. This borrowing has a maturity date of May 23, 2027. The proceeds were used to finance a portion of the repurchase of the Convertible Notes (see below). After giving effect to this borrowing, $200.0 is recorded within Long Term Debt, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet; the fair value (Level 2) of the debt was $200.0; and we had approximately $297.5 available for additional borrowings as of June 30, 2022.

Term Loan

On June 22, 2022, we entered into an unsecured 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement ("Term Loan"). The Term Loan provides for an unsecured 364-day term loan credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 and matures on June 21, 2023, and will bear interest at our election at a margin of (a) 0.000% to 0.375% above an alternate base rate (defined on the basis of prime rate) or (b) 0.750% to 1.375% above SOFR, which margins are determined by reference to the our credit rating. The Term Loan constitutes senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company, ranking equally with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured unsubordinated obligations.

The Term Loan also includes, among other terms and conditions, a maximum leverage ratio covenant, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur subsidiary indebtedness, grant liens, and dispose of all or substantially all assets, in each case subject to certain exceptions and baskets. In addition, the Term Loan provides for events of default customary for a credit facility of this size and type, including, among others, non-payment of principal and interest when due thereunder, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency, cross-defaults to material indebtedness, and material judgment defaults (subject to certain limitations and cure periods).

We fully drew down on the Term Loan on June 22, 2022 at approximately 3.6%. The proceeds were used to finance a portion of the repurchase of the Convertible Notes (see below). We will record interest within Interest and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2022, $350.0 was recorded within Short-term debt on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the fair value (Level 2) of the Term Loan debt approximates book value.

Convertibles Notes

In conjunction with the acquisition of Zynga on May 23, 2022 (refer to Note 1 4 - Acquisitions), we entered into (a) the First Supplemental Indenture (the “2024 Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated as of June 14, 2019 (the “2024 Indenture”), between Zynga and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) (the “Trustee”), relating to Zynga’s 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Convertible Notes”), and (b) the First Supplemental Indenture (the “2026 Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the 2024 Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”) to the Indenture, dated as of December 17, 2020 (the “2026 Indenture” and, together with the 2024 Indenture, the “Indentures”), between Zynga and the Trustee, relating to Zynga’s 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes” and, together with the 2024 Convertible Notes, the “Convertible Notes”). As of the closing date of the acquisition, approximately $690.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes were outstanding and approximately $874.5 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes were outstanding.

Following the acquisition and according to the Supplemental Indentures, we assumed all of Zynga’s rights and obligations under the Indentures, and the Company guaranteed the payment and other obligations of Zynga under the Convertible Notes. As a result of our acquisition of Zynga, the right to convert each one thousand dollar principal amount of such Convertible Notes into shares of Zynga common stock was changed into a right to convert such principal amount of such Convertible Notes into the number of units of Reference Property equal to the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the closing of the Zynga Acquisition, in each case pursuant to the terms and procedures set forth in the applicable Indenture. A unit of Reference Property is defined in each Indenture as 0.0406 shares of Take-Two common stock and $3.50 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Take-Two common stock.

The 2024 Convertible Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes mature on June 1, 2024, and December 15, 2026, respectively, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with their terms, respectively, prior to the maturity date. Interest is payable semiannually on the 2024 Convertible Notes in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2026 Convertible Notes do not bear regular interest, and the principal amount does not accrete.

The acquisition of Zynga constituted a Fundamental Change, a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, and a Share Exchange Event (each as defined in the Indentures) under the Indentures. The effective date of the Fundamental Change, Make-

Table of Contents

Whole Fundamental Change and Share Exchange Event in respect of the Convertible Notes was May 23, 2022 (the “Convertible Notes Effective Date”), and the related tender and conversion periods expired on June 22, 2022. As a result, each holder of Convertible Notes had the right to tender its Convertible Notes to the Company for cash or surrender its Convertible Notes for conversion into the Reference Property at the applicable conversion rate, in each case pursuant to the terms and procedures set forth in the applicable Indenture.

As of the expiration of the Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change, and Share Exchange Event, (a) $0.3 aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes and (b) $845.1 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes were tendered for cash. In addition, (a) $668.3 aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes, and (b) no 2026 Convertible Notes were surrendered for conversion into the applicable Reference Property. In total, we paid $321.6 for the tendered or converted 2024 Convertible Notes, including interest, and $845.1 for the tendered 2026 Convertible Notes in cash, and we issued 3.7 shares of our common stock upon the conversion of the 2024 Convertible Notes. After settlement of all Convertible Notes tendered or surrendered for conversion, $21.4 aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes remained outstanding and $29.4 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes remained outstanding at June 30, 2022.

The 2024 Convertible Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes constitute senior unsecured indebtedness of Zynga, ranking pari passu with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured unsubordinated obligations of Zynga. As a result the 2024 Convertible Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes are structurally senior to the indebtedness of the Company as to Zynga and its assets. As noted above, the Company also guaranteed the payment and other obligations of Zynga under the Convertible Notes. The Company's guarantees of the 2024 Convertible Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of the Company's other existing and future senior unsecured unsubordinated obligations.

Under the terms of the applicable Indentures, prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2024 with respect to the 2024 Convertible Notes and September 15, 2026 with respect to the 2026 Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances:

• during any calendar quarter, if the value of a unit of Reference Property (based on the last reported sales price of our common stock), for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the applicable series of the 2024 Convertible Notes or 2026 Convertible Notes, respectively, on each applicable trading day;

• during the 5 business-day period after any 5 consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per one thousand dollar principal amount of each applicable series of the 2024 Convertible Notes or 2026 Convertible Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the value of a unit of Reference Property (based on the last reported sale price of our common stock) and the conversion rate of the applicable series of the 2024 Convertible Notes or 2026 Convertible Notes, respectively, on each such trading day;

• if we call the 2024 Convertible Notes or 2026 Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the respective redemption date; or

• upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the respective Indentures.

Upon any conversion, holders will receive either cash or a combination of cash and shares of Take-Two common stock, at our election. As of June 30, 2022, the conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Notes to convert their respective series of the Convertible Notes have not been met and therefore both the Convertible Notes are not yet convertible.

We have elected to account for these Convertible Notes, which are considered derivatives, using the fair value option (Level 2) under ASC 825, as the Convertible Notes were initially recognized at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting in connection with the Zynga Acquisition (refer to Note 14 - Acquisitions) and we do not expect significant fluctuations in fair value through maturity. We initially recorded $778.6 as the acquisition date fair value for the 2024 Convertible Notes and $874.5 for the 2026 Convertible Notes. The fair value was determined as the expected cash payment and value of shares to be issued to settle the Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2022, we recorded $25.0 as the fair value of the remaining outstanding 2024 Convertible Notes, or $3.6 more than principal, and $29.3 as the fair value of the remaining outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes, or $0.1 less than principal, within Long-term debt, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a loss of $47.8 within (Loss) gain on fair value adjustments, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which includes the loss recognized on the converted Convertible Notes.

Capped Calls

In connection with the Convertible Notes, Zynga also previously entered into privately negotiated Capped Call options with certain counterparties. These Capped Call options were intended to reduce the potential economic dilution of Zynga shares

Table of Contents

upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments made in excess of the principal amount of converted notes with such reduction and/or offset, as the case might have been, subject to a maximum based on the cap price.

Following the acquisition of Zynga, we entered into Termination Agreements with each counterparty related to the acquired Capped Call arrangements to be settled in cash. Pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreements, the Capped Call options will be terminated over a period of time specified in each Termination Agreement and each counterparty will owe a cash payment to the Company, as applicable, as a result of the termination of the Capped Call options that will be calculated based on their fair market value calculated by each counterparty during a termination valuation period.

We have accounted for these Capped Calls as derivatives under ASC 815. We initially recorded $131.3 as the acquisition date fair value of these Capped Calls, and, as of June 30, 2022, the fair value of $140.1 is recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value (Level 2), in each instance, was determined based on negotiated termination agreements with the counterparties, which are dependent on our stock price over a certain period of time as further defined in the respective agreements. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a gain of $8.8 within (Loss) gain on fair value adjustments, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In July 2022, we received $140.1 in cash for settlement of these Capped Calls.

We incurred a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022; therefore, the diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude the effect of unvested common stock equivalents because their effect would be antidilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had 2.7 potentially dilutive shares from share-based awards and 1.7 of shares from Convertible Notes that are excluded due to the net loss for the period.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021, 1,020~~2022, 1.2 restricted stock awards vested, we granted ~~896~~2.5 unvested restricted stock awards, and 360.8 unvested restricted stock awards were forfeited. The forfeiture of awards resulted in the reversal of expense of $47.7 and amounts capitalized as software development costs of $6.1.

Software Development and Licensing Agreements: We make payments to third-party software developers that include contractual payments to developers under several software development agreements that expire at various times through July 2031. Our aggregate outstanding software development commitments assume satisfactory performance by third-party software developers. We also have licensing commitments that primarily consist of obligations to holders of intellectual property rights for use of their trademarks, copyrights, technology or other intellectual property rights in the development of our products.

Marketing Agreements: We have ~~entered into~~certain minimum marketing support commitments where we commit to spend specified amounts related to marketing our products. Marketing commitments expire at various times through March 2027 and primarily reflect our agreements inwith major sports leagues and players' associations.

Purchase Obligations: These obligations are primarily related to agreements to purchase services that are enforceable and legally binding on us that specifies all significant terms, including fixed, minimum or variable pricing provisions; and the ~~ordinary course~~approximate timing of ~~business that require substantial cash commitments over~~ the ~~next several years. Other than agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and in addition to the agreements requiring known cash commitments as reported in~~ ~~Note 15~~ ~~to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended~~transactions, expiring at various times through March ~~31, 2021, we did not have any significant changes to our commitments since March 31, 2021.~~2027.

Operating Leases: Our offices are occupied under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various times through December 2037. We also lease certain furniture, equipment and automobiles under non-cancelable leases expiring through February 2026.

Legal and Other ~~Proceedings~~

Proceedings: We are, or may become, subject to demands and claims (including intellectual property and employment related claims) and are involved in routine litigation in the ordinary course of business which we do not believe to be material to our business or financial condition or results of operations. We have appropriately accrued amounts related to certain of these claims and legal and other proceedings. While it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred in excess of the amounts accrued in our financial statements, we believe that such losses, unless otherwise disclosed, would not be material.

~~14.~~13. INCOME TAXES

The ~~provision for~~benefit from income taxes for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year ~~2022,~~2023, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The ~~provision for~~benefit from income taxes was ~~$9,677~~$2.3 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, as compared to ~~$18,097~~the provision for income taxes of $19.2 for the prior year period.

When compared to the statutory rate of 21%, the effective tax rate of ~~48.4%~~2.2% for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was due primarily to a tax expense of $5,440 from a shortfall on employee stock-based compensation, tax expense of $2,389 related to a nondeductible increase in fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the acquisition of Nordeus, offset by $2,647$12.1 related to the geographic mix of ~~earnings.~~

~~The provision for income taxes for the six months ended September 30, 2021 is based on our projected annual effective~~earnings, tax rate for fiscal year 2022, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The provision for income taxes was $28,865 for the six months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $19,953 for the prior year period.

~~When compared to the statutory rate~~expense of ~~21%, the effective tax rate of 15.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2021 was due primarily to a tax benefit of $11,420 due to tax credits and excess tax benefits of $4,007~~$9.4 from employee stock-based compensation, nondeductible expense of $8.2 related to the settlement of convertible debt, offset by benefits of $22.4 from tax ~~expense~~credits.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of ~~$2,389 related~~2017 (“TCJA”) requires taxpayers to ~~a nondeductible~~capitalize and amortize research and development costs pursuant to Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 174.Although Congress is considering legislation that would defer the capitalization and amortization requirement to later years, we have no assurance that the requirement will be repealed or otherwise modified. The requirement is effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded an estimated increase to income tax payable and deferred tax assets of approximately $70.0 due to Section 174 capitalization. The actual impact of Section 174 capitalization and amortization on the income tax payable and deferred tax asset will depend on multiple factors, including the amount of research and development expenses we will incur and whether we conduct our research and development activities inside or outside the United States.If legislation is not passed to defer, repeal, or otherwise modify the capitalization and amortization requirement we expect our cash taxes payable and deferred tax assets to increase in ~~fair value of~~ the ~~contingent consideration liability associated with the acquisition of Nordeus and by the geographic mix of earnings.~~future.

We are regularly examined by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Examinations may result in tax assessments in excess of amounts claimed and the payment of additional taxes. We believe our tax positions comply with applicable tax law, and that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable tax assessments. It is possible that settlement of audits or the expiration of the statute of limitations may have an impact on our effective tax rate in future periods.

~~15.~~14. ACQUISITIONS

~~Nordeus Acquisition~~

On ~~June 1, 2021,~~May 23, 2022, we completed ~~the~~our acquisition of ~~94.5%~~100% of ~~Nordeus Limited ("Nordeus"),~~the issued and outstanding shares of Zynga, a ~~privately-held Irish holding company~~leading developer of ~~a Belgrade, Serbia based free-to-play~~ mobile ~~game developer, for initial consideration~~games (the "Zynga Acquisition"). Under the terms and conditions of ~~$120,488~~the merger agreement, each Zynga stockholder received $3.50 in cash ~~515~~and 0.0406 shares of our common stock and ~~a contingent earn-out~~cash in lieu of fractional shares for each share of Zynga common stock outstanding at closing. Our consideration ~~arrangement that requires us to pay up to~~consisted of an aggregate of ~~$153,000~~$3,992.4 in cash, ~~if Nordeus achieves certain performance measures over~~46.3 shares of our common stock, and $143.6 of replacement equity awards attributable to the ~~12-~~pre-acquisition service period (see below). In connection with the transaction, on April 14, 2022, we completed our offering and ~~24-month periods following the closing.~~sale of $2,700.0 aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes (refer to Note 9 - D ebt). The cash portion of the merger consideration was funded from our cash on ~~hand. In addition, we exercised~~hand, including the proceeds from our ~~option to purchase~~senior notes offering. Transaction costs of $104.8, $8.3, and $5.6 for the ~~remaining 5.5%~~three months ended June 30, 2022 have been recorded within General and administrative expense, Research and development, and Selling and marketing, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~the outstanding equity of Nordeus for cash consideration of $12,375, in September 2021.~~Operations.

We acquired ~~Nordeus~~Zynga as part of our ongoing strategy to expand selectively our portfolio of owned intellectual property and to diversify and strengthen further our mobile ~~offerings.~~offerings

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration totaled ~~$289,774,~~$9,513.7, which consisted of the following:


	Fair value of purchase consideration
Cash ~~including call option exercise~~	$	~~132,863~~3,992.4

~~Contingent earn-out~~Replacement equity awards	~~61,055~~
~~Deferred payment~~	~~1,702~~143.6
Total	$	~~289,774~~9,513.7

The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration arrangement at the acquisition date was $61,055. We estimated the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. (Refer to ~~Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements~~.)

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized an increase in fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the acquisition of Nordeus. We reported $44,167 within Accrued expenses and $37,014 within Other long-term liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021.

We used the acquisition method of accounting and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the excess recorded to goodwill. ~~The preliminary~~As we finalize our estimation of the fair ~~values~~value of ~~net tangible~~the assets acquired and ~~intangible assets are management’s estimates based on the information available at the acquisition date and~~liabilities assumed, additional adjustments may ~~change over~~be recorded during the measurement period ~~which will end no later than one year~~(a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition ~~date,~~date). The initial accounting is incomplete as ~~additional information~~of June 30, 2022 for the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the Company is ~~received.~~currently in the process of completing the assessment of intangible assets.

Identifiable Intangible Assets Acquired and Goodwill

The preliminary fair value estimates of Developed game technology, Game engine technology, and Advertising technology were estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The excess earnings methodology is an income approach methodology that estimates the projected cash flows of the business attributable to the Developed game technology, Advertising technology, and Game engine technology intangible assets, respectively, net of charges for the use of other identifiable assets of the business including working capital, fixed assets and other intangible assets. The amortization for these intangible assets have been recorded to Cost of revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The preliminary fair value estimate of Branding and trade names was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, which presumes the owner of the asset avoids hypothetical royalty payments that would need to be made for the use of the asset if the asset was not owned. The amortization for the Branding and trade names intangible asset has been recorded to Depreciation and amortization in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The preliminary fair value estimate of User base was estimated using the replacement cost method. The replacement cost methodology is a cost approach methodology based on replacement or reproduction cost of the User Base as an indicator of fair value. The amortization for the User base intangible asset has been recorded to Selling and marketing in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The preliminary fair value estimate of Developer relationships and Customer relationships were estimated using the with and without method, which is a form of the income approach. The with and without method considers the hypothetical impact to the projected cash flows of the business if the asset were not in place. The amortization for the Developer relationships and Customer relationships intangible assets have been recorded to Research and development and Selling and marketing, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The $6,556.4 of goodwill recognized, which is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce of the acquired business and expected synergies at the time of the acquisition.

19Stock-Based Compensation

~~Table~~In connection with the Zynga Acquisition, (i) the outstanding and unexercised options to purchase Zynga common stock were assumed by the Company and automatically converted into options exercisable for shares of ~~Contents~~Take-Two common stock (the “Converted Options”), (ii) the issued and outstanding restricted stock unit awards with respect to Zynga common stock were assumed by the Company and automatically converted into a Take-Two restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Take-Two common stock (the “Converted RSUs”), and (iii) the issued and outstanding performance stock unit awards with respect to Zynga common stock were assumed by the Company and automatically converted into a Take-Two restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Take-Two common stock (the “Converted PSUs” and together with the Converted Options and the Converted RSUs, the “Converted Awards”). As a result, we issued replacement equity options and PSU/RSU awards of 1.5 and 4.2, respectively. The portion of the fair value related to pre-combination services of $143.6 was included in the purchase price, and $28.6 was recognized as day-one post-combination expense for acceleration of awards, while the remaining fair value will be recognized over the remaining service periods. As of June 30, 2022, the future expense for the Converted RSU and PSU Awards was approximately $411.5, which will be recognized over a weighted average service period of approximately 1.7 years. As of June 30, 2022, the future expense for the Converted Options was approximately $4.8, which will be recognized over a weighted average service period of approximately 0.9 years.

On May 23, 2022, we entered into a new unsecured Credit Agreement (the "2022 Credit Agreement"), which replaced in its entirety the Company's prior Credit Agreement and provides for an unsecured five-year revolving credit facility with commitments of $500.0, including sublimits for (i) the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate face amount of up to $100.0 and (ii) borrowings and letters of credit denominated in Pounds Sterling, Euros, and Canadian Dollars in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0. In addition, the 2022 Credit Agreement contains uncommitted incremental capacity permitting the incurrence of up to an additional amount not to exceed the greater of $250.0 and 35.0% of the Company's Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement).

Loans under the 2022 Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of (a) 0.000% to 0.625% above an alternate base rate (3.25% at June 30, 2022) or (b) 1.000% to 1.625% above Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), approximately 0.10% at June 30, 2022, which rates are determined by the Company's credit rating. On June 22, 2022, we drew down approximately $200.0 at 3.28% from our facility under the 2022 Credit Agreement.

On June 22, 2022, we entered into an unsecured 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement ("Term Loan"). The Term Loan provides for an unsecured 364-day term loan credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 and matures on June 21, 2023, and will bear interest at our election at a margin of (a) 0.000% to 0.375% above an alternate base rate (defined on the basis of prime rate) or (b) 0.750% to 1.375% above SOFR, which margins are determined by reference to our credit rating. We fully drew down on the Term Loan on June 22, 2022 at 3.6%.

The proceeds from our draw-downs of the 2022 Credit Agreement and Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the settlement of the Convertible Notes acquired from Zynga. In total, we paid $321.6 for the tendered or converted 2024 Convertible Notes, including interest, and $845.1 for the tendered 2026 Convertible Notes in cash, and we issued 3.7 shares of our common stock upon the conversion of the 2024 Convertible Notes. After settlement of all Convertible Notes tendered or surrendered for conversion, $21.4 aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes remained outstanding and $29.4 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes remained outstanding at June 30, 2022.

Most of our intellectual property is internally owned and developed, which we believe best positions us financially and competitively. We have established a portfolio of proprietary software content for the major hardware platforms in a wide range of genres, including action, adventure, family/casual, role-playing, shooter, sports, and strategy, which we distribute worldwide. We believe that our commitment to creativity and innovation is a distinguishing strength, enabling us to differentiate our products in the marketplace by combining advanced technology with compelling storylines and characters that provide unique gameplay experiences for consumers. We have created, acquired, or licensed a group of highly recognizable brands to match the broad consumer demographics that we serve, ranging from adults to children and game enthusiasts to casual gamers. Another cornerstone of our strategy is to support the success of our products in the marketplace through innovative marketing programs and global distribution on platforms and through channels that are relevant to our target audience.

Our revenue is primarily derived from the sale of internally developed software titles and software titles developed by third parties. Operating margins are dependent in part upon our ability to release new, commercially successful software products and to manage effectively their development and marketing costs. We have internal development studios located in Australia, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, India, Serbia, ~~Spain,~~ South Korea, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom (U.K.), and the United ~~States.~~States (U.S.).

Software titles published by our Rockstar Games label are primarily internally developed. We expect Rockstar Games, our wholly-owned publisher of the Grand Theft Auto, Max Payne, Midnight Club, Red Dead Redemption, and other popular

~~Table of Contents~~

franchises, to continue to be a leader in the action/adventure product category and to create groundbreaking entertainment. We believe that Rockstar Games has established a uniquely original, popular cultural phenomenon with its Grand Theft Auto series, which is the interactive entertainment industry's most iconic and critically acclaimed brand and has sold-in over ~~355~~380 million units. Our most recent installment, Grand Theft Auto V, which was released in 2013, has ~~sold in over 155~~sold-in more than 165 million units worldwide and includes access to Grand Theft Auto Online.

success that set numerous entertainment industry records, has sold-in more than 3545 million units worldwide. Rockstar Games is also well known for developing brands in other genres, including the L.A. Noire, Bully, and Manhunt franchises. Rockstar Games continues to expand on our established franchises by developing sequels, offering downloadable episodes, and additional content. Rockstar Game's titles are published across all key platforms, including mobile. In February 2022, Rockstar Games announced that active development of the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series was well underway.

Our 2K label has published a variety of popular entertainment properties across all key platforms and across a range of genres including shooter, action, role-playing, strategy, sports and family/casual entertainment. We expect 2K to continue to develop new, successful franchises in the future. 2K's internally owned and developed franchises include the critically acclaimed, multi-million unit selling BioShock, Mafia, Sid Meier's Civilization, and XCOM series. 2K also publishes successful externally developed brands, such as Borderlandsand Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. 2K's realistic sports simulation titles include our flagship NBA 2K series, which continues to be the top-ranked NBA basketball video game, the WWE 2K professional wrestling series, and PGA TOUR 2K. In March 2020, 2K announced a multi-year partnership with the National Football League encompassing multiple future video games that will be non-simulation football game experiences. 2K also publishes mobile titles, such as WWE SuperCard.

Our Private Division label is dedicated to bringing titles from the industry's leading creative talent to market and is the publisher and owner of Kerbal Space Programand OlliOlli World. Kerbal Space Program 2 is planned for release in fiscal year 2023. Private Division also previously released The Outer Worlds and Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.

Our Zynga label, which includes our former T2 Mobile Games ~~includes~~label (which included Socialpoint, Playdots, and ~~Nordeus, which publish~~Nordeus), publishes popular free-to-play mobile games that deliver high quality, deeply engaging entertainment experiences and generates revenue from in-game sales and in-game advertising. ~~T2 Mobile Games' titles include~~Zynga's diverse portfolio of popular game franchises has been downloaded more than 5 billion times on mobile, including CSR Racing, Dragon City,Empires & Puzzles, FarmVille, Golf Rival, Hair Challenge, Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells, High Heels, Merge Dragons, Merge Magic, Monster Legends, ~~Two Dots~~Toon Blast,~~and~~ Top Eleven, Toy Blast, Two Dots, Words With Friends, and Zynga Poker.

We have released two iterations of NBA 2K Online and continue to enhance the title with new features.

We have expanded our relationship with the NBA through the NBA 2K League. This groundbreaking competitive gaming league is jointly owned by us and the NBA and consists of teams operated by actual NBA franchises. The NBA 2K League follows a professional sports league format: head-to-head competition throughout a regular season, followed by a bracketed playoff system and a finals ~~match-up that was held in August of each of the NBA 2K League's first three seasons.~~match-up. The NBA 2K League's ~~fourth~~fifth season ~~concluded in September 2021.~~is currently underway.

Trends and Factors Affecting our Business

Product Release Schedule. Our financial results are affected by the timing of our product releases and the commercial success of those titles. Our Grand Theft Auto products in particular have historically accounted for a significant portion of our revenue. Sales of Grand Theft Auto products generated ~~31.2%~~18.3% of our net revenue for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The timing of our Grand Theft Auto product releases may affect our financial performance on a quarterly and annual basis.

Economic Environment and Retailer Performance. We continue to monitor economic conditions, including the ~~evolution~~impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~including economic conditions~~and rising inflation, that may ~~unfavorably~~ affect our ~~businesses,~~business, by affecting areas such as ~~deteriorating~~ consumer demand, pricing pressure on our products, credit quality of our receivables, and foreign currency exchange rates. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected and may continue to affect our business operations, including our employees, customers, partners, and communities, and there is substantial uncertainty in the nature and degree of its continued effects over time. During fiscal year 2021, as in the final quarter of fiscal year 2020, we noted a positive impact to our results that we believe was partly due to increased consumer engagement with our products because of the COVID-19 ~~pandemic~~ related business closures and

~~Table of Contents~~

movement restrictions, such as "shelter in place" and "lockdown" orders, implemented around the world, as well as the online accessibility and social nature of our products. ~~However, we cannot be certain as to the duration of these effects, the impact of vaccination efforts or of the lifting of certain restrictions,~~As expected, during fiscal year 2022 and the ~~potential offsetting impacts~~first quarter of ~~deteriorating economic conditions and decreased consumer spending generally.

Based on our concern for the health and safety of our teams, we ~~have developed and continue to develop plans to help mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic on our business, including transitioning~~transitioned the vast majority of our teams to working from ~~home. We are taking a prudent approach relating to our return to office cadence~~home throughout fiscal years 2021 and ~~planning. Some of our offices are open, and we plan for~~2022; however, the majority of our offices either have reopened or are scheduled to reopen in the coming months. Given the evolving dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to adhere to safety standards in the planning and implementation of our return to office. To date, our plans have resulted in minimal disruption. However, despite largely positive outcomes to date, these efforts may ultimately not be effective, and a protracted economic downturn may limit the effectiveness of our mitigation efforts. Any of these considerations described above could cause or contribute to the risks described under the heading "Risk ~~Factors~~Factor s" included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, or stock price. Therefore, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will not be fully reflected in our financial results until future periods, and, at this time, we are not able to predict its ultimate impact on our business.

Additionally, our business is dependent upon a limited number of customers that account for a significant portion of our revenue. Our five largest customers accounted for ~~79.8%~~ 80.8% and ~~77.7%~~80.6% of net revenue during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022, and March 31, ~~2021, our~~2022, five ~~largest custome~~rscustomers comprised ~~76.9%~~65.0% and ~~77.6%~~72.8% of our gross accounts receivable, respectively, with our significant customers (those that individually comprised more than 10% of our gross accounts receivable balance) accounting for ~~64.3%~~51.0% and ~~69.2%~~63.8% of such balance at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022, and March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. We had ~~two~~three customers who accounted for ~~45.4%~~26.7%, 13.5%, and ~~18.9%~~10.8%, ~~respectively,~~ of our gross accounts receivable as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022, and two customers who accounted for ~~50.4%~~43.5% and ~~18.8%, respectively,~~20.3% of our gross accounts receivable as of March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. We did not have any additional customers that exceeded 10% of our gross accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022. The economic environment has affected our customers in the past, and may do so in the future, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bankruptcies or consolidations of our large retail customers could ~~adversely affect~~seriously hurt our business, due to uncollectible accounts receivables and the concentration of purchasing power among the remaining large retailers. ~~The COVID-19 pandemic may lead to~~There has been increased consolidation in our industry, as larger, better capitalized competitors will be in a stronger position to withstand prolonged periods of economic downturn and sustain their business through ~~the~~ financial volatility. Certain of our large customers sell used copies of our games, which may negatively affect our business by reducing demand for new copies of our games. While the online and downloadable content that we now offer for certain of our titles may serve to reduce used game sales, we expect used game sales to continue to adversely affect our business.

Hardware Platforms. We derive most of our revenue from the sale of products made for video game consoles manufactured by third parties, which comprised ~~69.5%~~55.1% of our net revenue by product platform for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The success of our business is dependent onupon the consumer acceptance of these platforms and the continued growth in ~~their~~the installed ~~base.~~base of these platforms. When new hardware platforms are introduced, such as those released in November 2020 by Sony and Microsoft, demand for interactive entertainment ~~playable~~used on older platforms typically declines, which may negatively affect our business during the market transition to the new consoles. The new Sony and Microsoft consoles provide "backwards compatibility" (i.e., the ability to play games for the previous generation of consoles), which could mitigate the risk of such a decline. However, we cannot be certain how backwards compatibility will affect demand for our products. Further, ~~the COVID-19 pandemic or other~~ events ~~have affected and~~beyond our control may ~~continue to affect~~impact the availability of these new consoles, which may also affect demand. We manage our product delivery on each current and future platform in a manner we believe to be most effective to maximize our revenue opportunities and achieve the desired return on our investments in product development. Accordingly, our strategy for these platforms is to focus our development efforts on a select number of the highest quality titles ~~for these platforms, while also expanding our offerings for other platforms such as tablets, smartphones, and online games.~~.

Online Content and Digital Distribution. The interactive entertainment software industry is delivering a growing amount of content through digital online delivery methods. We provide a variety of online delivered products and offerings. Virtually all of our titles that are available through retailers as packaged goods products are also available through direct digital download (from digital storefronts we own and others owned by third parties) as well as a large selection of our catalog titles. In addition, we aim to drive ongoing engagement and incremental revenue from recurrent consumer spending on our titles through virtual currency, add-on content, in-game purchases, and in-game ~~purchases. We also publish an expanding variety of titles for tablets and smartphones, which are delivered to consumers through digital download.~~advertising. As disclosed in our "Results of Operations," below, net revenue from digital online channels comprised ~~90.8%~~94.1% of our net revenue for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. We

~~Table of Contents~~

expect online delivery of games and game offerings to continue ~~to grow and~~ to continue to be the primary part of our business over the long term.

We also publish an expanding variety of titles for Mobile, which are delivered to consumers through digital download, and are primarily distributed, marketed and promoted through third parties, primarily Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store. Virtual items for our Mobile games are purchased through the payment processing systems of these platform providers. We generate a significant portion of our net revenue through the Apple and Google platforms and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future as we launch more games for Mobile. Apple and Google generally have the discretion to set the amounts of their platform fees and change their platforms’ terms of service and other policies with respect to us or other developers at their sole discretion, and those changes may be unfavorable to us. These platform fees are recorded as cost of revenue as incurred. Further, as a result of the platform fees associated with online game sales, our Mobile Net revenue generally generates lower gross margin percentage than our Console or PC revenue. Accordingly, the overall product mix between Mobile and other game sales may impact our gross margins.

Player acquisition costs. Principally for our Mobile titles, we use advertising and other forms of player acquisition and retention to grow and retain our player audience. These expenditures, which are recorded within Sales and marketing in our Consolidated Statements of Operations generally relate to the promotion of new game launches and ongoing performance-based programs to drive new player acquisition and lapsed player reactivation. Over time, these acquisition and retention-related programs may become either less effective or costlier, negatively impacting our operating results.

Operating Metric

Net Bookings

We monitor Net Bookings as a key operating metric in evaluating the performance of our business. Net Bookings is defined as the net amount of products and services sold digitally or sold-in physically during the period and includes licensing fees, merchandise, in-game advertising, strategy guides, and publisher incentives. Net Bookings were as follows:

For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, Net Bookings increased by ~~$27.3 million~~$291.1 as compared to the prior year ~~period~~period. The increase was primarily due ~~primarily~~ to Net Bookings from Zynga, which we acquired in May 2022 (refer to Note 1 4 - Acquisitions), including top contributors Empires & Puzzles, Toon Blast, Rollic's hyper-casual portfolio, Words With Friends, and Merge Dragons!, as well as an increase in Net Bookings from (i) ~~Grand Theft Auto Online~~ Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, which released in March 2022; (ii) our WWE 2K franchise, including our March 2022 release of WWE 2K22; (iii) The Quarry, which released in June 2022; and (iv) ~~Grand Theft Auto V;~~ Top Eleven, which was part of ~~the~~our June 2021 Nordeus ~~acquisition in June 2021; our~~ ~~NBA 2K~~ ~~franchise;~~ ~~Two Dots, which was part of the Playdots acquisition in September 2020; and~~ ~~Borderlands 3.~~acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Net Bookings from ~~PGA TOUR 2K21,~~ ~~which released in August 2020;~~ our~~Mafia~~ ~~franchise;~~ ~~The Outer Worlds;~~ ~~and our~~ ~~WWE 2K~~ ~~franchise.~~

~~For the six months ended September 30, 2021, Net Bookings decreased by $257.5 million as compared to the prior year period due primarily to a decrease in Net Bookings from~~ Grand Theft Auto V and ~~Grand Theft Auto Online~~Borderlands ~~, our~~ ~~NBA 2K~~ ~~franchise,~~ ~~Red Dead Redemption 2~~, ~~PGA TOUR 2K21, our~~ ~~Mafia~~ ~~franchise,~~ ~~The Outer Worlds, our~~ ~~WWE 2K~~ ~~franchise, and~~ ~~Borderlands 3, partially offset by an increase in Net Bookings from~~ ~~Top Eleven~~ ~~and~~ ~~Two Dots~~.franchises.

~~Provision for~~Benefit from Income Taxes

The ~~provision for~~benefit from income taxes for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year ~~2022,~~2023, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The ~~provision for~~benefit from income taxes was ~~$9.7 million~~$2.3 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 as compared to ~~$18.1 million~~the provision for income taxes of $19.2 for the prior year period.

When compared to the statutory rate of 21.0%, the effective tax rate of ~~48.4%~~2.2% for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was due primarily to a tax expense of ~~$2.4 million~~$12.1 related to a nondeductible increase in fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the acquisition of Nordeus, tax expense of $5.4 million from a shortfall on employee stock-based compensation offset by $2.6 million from the geographic mix of ~~earnings.~~earnings, tax expense of $9.4 from employee stock-based compensation, nondeductible expense of $8.2 related to the settlement of convertible debt, offset by benefits of $22.4 from tax credits.

In the prior year period, when compared to our statutory rate of 21%, the effective tax rate of ~~15.4%~~11.2% for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 was due primarily to a tax benefit of ~~$5.7 million~~$12.1 from tax credits and excess tax benefits of ~~$2.3 million~~$9.4 from employee stock-based compensation ~~and~~ offset by the geographic mix of earnings.

The change in the effective tax rate, when compared to the prior year period's effective tax rate, is due primarily to ~~decreases~~increases in tax benefits from tax credits, ~~and excess tax benefits~~increased expenses from employee stock-based compensation in the current period, ~~partially offset~~nondeductible expense related to the settlement of convertible debt and by the geographic mix of earnings.

The accounting for share-based compensation will increase or decrease our effective tax rate based onupon the difference between our share-based compensation expense and the deductions taken on our tax return, which depends on the stock price at the time of the employee award vesting. ~~Since we recognize excess tax benefits on a discrete basis, we anticipate that our effective tax rate will vary from quarter to quarter depending on our stock price in each period.~~

We anticipate that additional excess tax benefits or shortfalls from employee stock compensation, tax credits, and changes in our geographic mix of earnings could have a significant impact on our effective tax rate in the future. In addition, we are regularly examined by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Examinations may result in tax assessments in excess of amounts claimed and the payment of additional taxes. We believe our tax positions comply with applicable tax law, and that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable tax assessments. It is possible that settlement of audits ~~and/or the expiration of the statute of limitations could have an impact on our effective tax rate in future periods.~~

On March 11, 2021, The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) was signed into law. ARPA includes several revenue-raising and business provisions. One such provision that impacts the Company is the expansion of the limitation of compensation deductions for certain covered employees of publicly held corporations. Effective April 1, 2027, ARPA expanded the limitation to cover the next five most highly compensated employees. As September 30, 2021, ARPA did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), which provides numerous tax and other stimulus measures that generally support the U.S. economy. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~Net income and earnings per share~~

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net income was $10.3 million, as compared to $99.3 million in the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.09, as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.86 in the prior year period. Diluted weighted average shares of 116.8 million were 1.4 million shares higher as compared to the prior year period, due primarily to normal stock compensation activity, including vests as well as grants and forfeitures in the prior year being fully outstanding in the current year period, partially offset by shares repurchased. See ~~Note 11 - Earnings Per Share~~ ~~to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.~~

~~For the six months ended September 30, 2021, net revenue decreased by $0.9 million as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was due to a decrease in net revenue of (i) $56.7 million from~~ ~~Red Dead Redemption 2, (ii) $23.0 million from~~ ~~Borderlands 3, (iii) $15.4 million from~~ ~~PGA TOUR 2K21, and (iv) $11.3 million from~~ ~~Civilization VI.

Net revenue from console games decreased by $54.4 million and accounted for 71.7% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 74.9% for the prior year period. The decrease was due to a decrease in net revenue from our ~~Red Dead Redemption 2~~, ~~Borderlands 3, our~~ ~~Mafia~~ ~~franchise,~~ ~~PGA TOUR 2K21, and our~~ ~~WWE 2K~~ ~~franchise~~, ~~partially offset by an increase in net revenue from our~~ ~~NBA 2K~~ ~~franchise, and~~ ~~Grand Theft Auto Online.~~ Net revenue from PC and other decreased by $28.3 million and accounted for 16.5% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 18.2% for the prior year period. The decrease was due to a decrease in net revenue from ~~Red Dead Redemption 2~~, ~~Grand Theft Auto V~~,~~and~~ ~~Civilization VI, partially offset by an increase in net revenue from our~~ ~~NBA 2K~~ franchise. Net revenue from mobile increased by $81.8 million and accounted for 11.8% of our total net revenue for six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 6.9% for the prior year period. The increase was due primarily to an increase in net revenue from ~~Two Dots~~ ~~and~~ ~~Top Eleven~~.

Net revenue from digital online channels increased by $58.6 million and accounted for 90.9% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 87.4% for the prior year period. The increase was due to an increase in net revenue from our ~~NBA 2K~~ ~~franchise,~~ ~~Two Dots~~, ~~Grand Theft Auto Online, Red Dead Online, and~~ ~~Top Eleven~~,~~partially offset by a decrease in net revenue from~~ ~~Red Dead Redemption 2, our~~ ~~Mafia~~ ~~franchise,~~ ~~Borderlands 3~~, ~~Civilization VI~~, ~~PGA TOUR 2K21, and our~~ ~~XCOM~~ ~~franchise.~~Net revenue from physical retail and other channels decreased by $59.6 million and accounted for 9.1% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 12.6% for the prior year period. The decrease was due to a decrease in net revenue from ~~Red Dead Redemption 2,~~ ~~our~~ ~~Mafia~~ ~~franchise,~~ ~~Borderlands 3, PGA TOUR 2K21~~, ~~Grand Theft Auto V, and our~~ ~~WWE 2K~~ ~~franchise.~~

Recurrent consumer spending is generated from ongoing consumer engagement and includes revenue from virtual currency, add-on content, and in-game purchases.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2021 was 53.0% as compared to 45.6% for the prior year period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was due to lower development royalties due primarily to the timing of releases and lower internal royalties due primarily to the timing of when royalties are earned. Offsetting the increase in gross profit as a percentage of net revenue were impairments recognized against some of our capitalized software balances for six months ended September 30, 2021. (See ~~Note~~ ~~8 - Software Development Costs and Licenses~~ ~~of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).~~

Net revenue earned outside of the United States decreased by $34.9 million, and accounted for 39.7% of our total net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 41.8% in the prior year period. The decrease in net

~~Selling and marketing~~

~~Selling and marketing expenses increased by $41.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, due primarily to higher overall marketing expenses for~~ ~~Two Dots~~, ~~Grand Theft Auto Online~~, ~~Top Eleven, and our~~ ~~NBA 2K~~ ~~franchise.~~

~~General and administrative~~

General and administrative expenses increased by $38.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, due to increases in (i) the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability related to our acquisition of Nordeus (refer to ~~Note 15 - Acquisitions~~), (ii) personnel expenses for additional headcount (iii) IT expenses for cloud-based services (iv) professional fees related to our acquisition of Nordeus, and (v) rent expense. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in charitable contributions as compared to the prior year period primarily due to our COVID-19 response and relief efforts in the prior year period.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 included occupancy expense (primarily rent, utilities and office expenses) of $15.9 million and $13.7 million, respectively, related to our development studios.

~~Research and development~~

Research and development expenses increased by $46.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, due primarily to increases in personnel expenses for higher headcount.

~~Depreciation and Amortization~~

~~Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $2.5 million, as compared to the prior year period, due primarily to IT infrastructure.~~

~~Business reorganization~~

~~During the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, business reorganization expense increased $0.2 million and was not material.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Interest and other, net~~

~~Interest and other, net was expense of $1.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to income of $10.9 million f~~or the prior year period. The change was due primarily to (i) foreign currency losses in the current year period as compared to gains in the prior year period, (ii) higher interest expense on our available-for-sale investments, and (iii) lower interest income on our investments due to lower rates.

~~Gain on long-term investments, net~~

Gain on long-term investments, net for the six months ended September 30, 2021 was $2.4 million and was due primarily to changes in value based on the observable price change of our long-term investment.

~~Provision for Income Taxes~~

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended September 30, 2021 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2021, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The provision for income taxes was $28.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to a provision for income taxes of $20.0 million for the prior year period.

When compared to the statutory rate of 21.0%, the effective tax rate of 15.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2021 was due primarily to a tax benefit of $11.4 million as a result of tax credits anticipated to be utilized and excess tax benefits of $4.0 million from employee stock-based compensation offset by a tax expense of $2.4 million related to a nondeductible increase in fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the acquisition of Nordeus and by the geographic mix of earnings.

In the prior year period, when compared to our blended statutory rate of 21%, the effective tax rate of 9.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2020 was due primarily to a benefit of $10.7 million as a result of tax credits anticipated to be utilized and excess tax benefits of $10.2 million from employee stock-based compensation.

The change in the effective tax rate, when compared to the prior year period's effective tax rate, is due primarily to decreased tax benefits from employee stock-based compensation in the current period, partially offset by the geographic mix of earnings.

The accounting for share-based compensation will increase or decrease our effective tax rate based on the difference between our share-based compensation expense and the deductions taken on our tax return, which depends on the stock price at the time of the employee award vesting. Since we recognize excess tax benefits on a discrete basis, we anticipate that our effective tax rate will vary from quarter to quarter depending on our stock price in each period.

We anticipate that additional excess tax benefits or shortfalls from employee stock compensation, tax credits, and changes in our geographic mix of earnings could have a significant impact on our effective tax rate in the future. In addition, we are regularly examined by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Examinations may result in tax assessments in excess of amounts claimed and the payment of additional taxes. We believe our tax positions comply with applicable tax law, and that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable tax assessments. It is possible that settlement of audits and/or the expiration of the statute of limitations could have an impact on our effective tax rate in future periods.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize research and development costs pursuant to Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 174.Although Congress is considering legislation that would defer the capitalization and amortization requirement to later years, we have no assurance that the requirement will be repealed or otherwise modified. The requirement is effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded an estimated increase to income tax payable and deferred tax assets of approximately $70.0 due to Section 174 capitalization. The actual impact of Section 174 capitalization and amortization on the income tax payable and deferred tax asset will depend on multiple factors, including the amount of research and development expenses we will incur and whether we conduct our research and development activities inside or outside the United States.If legislation is not passed to defer, repeal, or otherwise modify the capitalization and amortization requirement we expect our cash taxes payable and deferred tax assets to increase in the future.

Senior Notes

Credit Agreement

On ~~February 8, 2019,~~May 23, 2022, we entered into ana new unsecured Credit Agreement (the ~~“Credit Agreement”~~"2022 Credit Agreement"), ~~and on June 28, 2021, we amended our unsecured~~which replaced in its entirety the Company's prior Credit Agreement, ~~solely to increase the commitments under the facility by $50 million (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) that runs through~~dated as of February 8, ~~2024.~~2019, which was paid off in full and terminated. The 2022 Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured five-year revolving credit facility with commitments of ~~$250 million,~~$500.0, including sublimits for (i) the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate face amount of up to ~~$25 million~~$100.0 and (ii) borrowings and letters of credit denominated in Pounds Sterling, Euros, and Canadian Dollars in an aggregate principal amount of up to ~~$25 million.~~$100.0. In addition, the 2022 Credit Agreement contains uncommitted incremental capacity permitting the incurrence of up to an additional ~~$200 million~~amount not to exceed the greater of $250.0 and 35.0% of the Company's Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in ~~term loans or revolving credit facilities.~~the 2022 Credit Agreement).

On June 22, 2022, we drew down $200.0 at approximately 3.28% from our facility under the 2022 Credit Agreement. The proceeds were used to finance a portion of the repurchase of the Convertible Notes. After giving effect to this borrowing, we had approximately $297.5 available for additional borrowings as of June 30, 2022.

Term Loan

On June 22, 2022, we entered into an unsecured 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement ("Term Loan"). The Term Loan provides for an unsecured 364-day term loan credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 and matures on June 21, 2023, and will bear interest at our election at a margin of (a) 0.000% to 0.375% above an alternate base rate (defined on the basis of prime rate) or (b) 0.750% to 1.375% above SOFR, which margins are determined by reference to our ~~consolidated total net leverage ratio.~~credit rating.

We fully drew down on the Term Loan on June 22, 2022 at approximately 3.6%. The ~~LIBOR benchmark rate is expected~~proceeds were used to ~~be phased out by the end of June 2023. We do not expect that the discontinuation~~finance a portion of the ~~LIBOR rate will have a material impact on our liquidity or results~~repurchase of ~~operations.~~the Convertible Notes (refer to Note 9 - Debt).

Table of September 30, 2021, there was $247.8 million available to borrow under the Credit Agreement, and we had $2.2 million of letters of credit outstanding. At September 30, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement.Contents

The Credit Agreement also includes, among other terms and conditions, maximum leverage ratio, minimum cash reserves and, in certain circumstances, minimum interest coverage ratio financial covenants, as well as limitations on the Company’s and each of its subsidiaries’ ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of its property; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions, in each case subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for certain events of default such as nonpayment of principal and interest when due thereunder, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency, and default on indebtedness held by third parties (subject to certain limitations and cure periods).

Financial Condition

We are subject to credit risks, particularly if any of our receivables represent a limited number of customers or are concentrated in foreign markets. If we are unable to collect our accounts receivable as they become due, it could adversely affect our liquidity and working capital position.

Generally, we have been able to collect our accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business. We do not hold any collateral to secure payment from customers. We have trade credit insurance on the majority of our customers to mitigate accounts receivable risk.

A majority of our trade receivables are derived from sales to major retailers, including digital storefronts and platform partners, and distributors. Our five largest customers accounted for ~~79.8%~~80.8% and ~~77.7%~~80.6% of net revenue during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, five customers accounted for ~~76.9%~~65.0% and ~~77.6%~~72.8% of our gross accounts receivable, respectively. Customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of

~~Table of Contents~~

our gross accounts receivable balance comprised ~~64.3%~~51.0% and ~~69.2%~~63.8% of such balances at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. We had two customers who accounted for ~~45.4%~~26.7% and ~~18.9%~~13.5% of our gross accounts receivable as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively, and two customers who accounted for ~~50.4%~~43.5% and ~~18.8%~~20.3% of our gross accounts receivable as of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. Based upon performing ongoing credit evaluations, maintaining trade credit insurance on a majority of our customers and our past collection experience, we believe that the receivable balances from these largest customers do not represent a significant credit risk, although we actively monitor each customer's credit worthiness and economic conditions that may affect our customers' business and access to capital. We are monitoring the current global economic conditions, including credit markets and other factors as it relates to our customers in order to manage the risk of uncollectible accounts receivable, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We believe our current cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and projected cash flows from operations, along with availability under our 2022 Credit Agreement, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, and commitments on both a short-term and long-term basis. Our liquidity and capital resources were not materially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related volatility and slowdown in the global financial markets to date. For further discussion regarding the potential future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic conditions on our business, refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries was ~~$306.9 million.~~$740.0. These balances are dispersed across various locations around the world. We believe that such dispersion meets the business and liquidity needs of our foreign affiliates. ~~In addition, we expect to have the ability to generate sufficient cash domestically to support ongoing operations for the foreseeable future.~~

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as enacted in December 2017, includes a number of provisions, which generally establish a territorial-style system for taxing foreign income of domestic multinational corporations. Our current intention is to reinvest indefinitely earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, and therefore we have not recorded any tax liabilities associated with the repatriation of foreign earnings.

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to ~~14.2 million~~21.7 shares of our common stock. Under this program, we may purchase shares from time to time through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. Repurchases are subject to the availability of stock, prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the stock, our financial performance, and other conditions. The program does not require us to repurchase shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time for any reason.

During the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we ~~repurchased 1.3 million~~did not repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market, ~~for $200.0 million, including commissions,~~ as part of the program. We have repurchased a total of 11.7 ~~million~~ shares of our common stock under the program, and as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021, 2.6 million~~2022, 10.0 shares of our common stock remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.

Our changes in cash flows were as follows:

~~Contractual Obligations and~~ Commitments

Refer to Note 131 2 - Commitments and Contingencies ~~to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~ for disclosures regarding our commitments.

Capital Expenditures

In fiscal year ~~2022,~~2023, we anticipate capital expenditures to be ~~$170 million.~~approximately $135.0. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, capital expenditures were ~~$111.2 million, which includes our acquisition of two office buildings in the UK (refer to~~ ~~Note 15 - Acquisitions~~).

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

As of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, we did not have any material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial parties, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.$42.5.

International Operations

Net revenue earned outside of the United States is principally generated by our operations in Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada, and Latin America. For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, 38.1% and ~~2020, 40.0% and 40.1%~~39.4%, respectively, of our net revenue was earned outside of the United States. We are subject to risks inherent in foreign trade, including increased credit risks, tariffs and duties, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, shipping delays, and international political, regulatory and economic developments, all of which can have a significant effect on our operating results.

Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results and Seasonality

We have experienced fluctuations in quarterly and annual operating results as a result of the timing of the introduction of new titles; variations in sales of titles developed for particular platforms; market acceptance of our titles; development and promotional expenses relating to the introduction of new titles; sequels or enhancements of existing titles; projected and actual changes in platforms; the timing and success of title introductions by our competitors; product returns; changes in pricing policies by us and our competitors; the accuracy of retailers' forecasts of consumer demand; the size and timing of acquisitions; the timing of orders from major customers; and order cancellations and delays in product shipment. Sales of our full game products are also seasonal, with peak demand typically occurring in the fourth calendar quarter during the holiday season. For certain of our software products with multiple performance obligations, we defer the recognition of our net revenue over an estimated service period, which generally ranges from 6six to 15fifteen months. As a result, the quarter in which we generate the highest net bookings may be different from the quarter in which we recognize the highest amount of net revenue. Quarterly comparisons of operating results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from fluctuations in market rates and prices. Our market risk exposures primarily include fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investment portfolio and variable rate debt under the 2022 Credit Agreement.

We seek to manage our interest rate risk by maintaining a short-term investment portfolio that includes corporate bonds with high credit quality and maturities less than two years. Since short-term investments mature relatively quickly and can be reinvested at the then-current market rates, interest income on a portfolio consisting of short-term securities is more subject to market fluctuations than a portfolio of longer-term maturities. However, the fair value of a short-term portfolio is less sensitive to market fluctuations than a portfolio of longer-term securities. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments in our short-term investment portfolio. Our investments are held for purposes other than trading.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~$1,440.6 million~~$459.2 of short-term investments, which included ~~$862.9 million~~$443.1 of available-for-sale securities. The available-for-sale securities were recorded at fair market value with unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value reported as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, in Stockholders' equity. We also had ~~$856.9 million~~$847.4 of cash and cash equivalents that are comprised primarily of money market funds and bank-time deposits. We determined that, based on the composition of our investment portfolio, there was no material interest rate risk exposure to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or liquidity as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

2022.

Historically, fluctuations in interest rates have not had a significant effect on our operating results.

Table of Contents

Under our 2022 Credit Agreement, loans will bear interest at ~~our election~~a rate of (a) ~~0.250%~~0.000% to ~~0.750%~~0.625% above ~~a certain~~an alternate base rate (3.25% at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021),~~2022) or (b) ~~1.125%~~1.000% to ~~1.750%~~1.625% above Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), approximately 0.10% at June 30, 2022, which rates are determined by the ~~LIBOR~~Company's credit rating. At June 30, 2022, there were borrowings of approximately $200.0 under the 2022 Credit Agreement, which mature in 2027.

We also have borrowings of $350.0 at 3.6% under our Term Loan. The Term Loan provides for an unsecured 364-day term loan credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 and matures on June 21, 2023, and will bear interest at our election at a margin of (a) 0.000% to 0.375% above an alternate base rate ~~(approximately 0.09% at September 30, 2021), with~~(defined on the ~~margin rate subject~~basis of prime rate) or (b) 0.750% to 1.375% above SOFR, which margins are determined by reference to the ~~achievement of certain average liquidity levels. Changes in market rates may affect~~ our ~~future interest expense if there is an outstanding balance on our line of credit. At September 30, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement.~~credit rating.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We transact business in foreign currencies and are exposed to risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Accounts relating to foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using prevailing exchange rates at the relevant period end. Translation adjustments are included as a separate component of Stockholders' equity on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, our foreign currency translation adjustment was a loss of ~~$16.7 million~~$62.8 and a gain of ~~$18.9 million,~~$6.1, respectively. For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, we recognized a foreign currency exchange transaction ~~gain~~loss of ~~$0.4 million~~$3.5 and a ~~gain~~loss of ~~$1.5 million,~~$2.4, respectively, included in Interest and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our foreign currency translation adjustment was a loss of $10.6 million and a gain of $23.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized a foreign currency exchange transaction loss of $1.9 million and a gain of $5.0 million, respectively, included in Interest and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Balance Sheet Hedging Activities

We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with non-functional currency denominated cash balances and intercompany funding loans, non-functional currency denominated accounts receivable and non-functional currency denominated accounts payable. These transactions are not designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts is reported as either assets or liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value are reported in Interest and other, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for speculative or trading purposes. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~$153.1 million~~$99.5 of forward contracts outstanding to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars and ~~$93.5 million~~$311.6 of forward contracts outstanding to buy foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars, all of which have maturities of less than one year. At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~$140.5 million~~$132.8 of forward contracts outstanding to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars and ~~$92.1 million~~$75.8 of forward contracts outstanding to buy foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars, all of which have maturities of less than one year. For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, we recorded a gain of ~~$0.6 million~~$1.6 and a loss of ~~$1.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a loss of $1.2 million and a loss of $3.7 million,~~$1.8, respectively. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the fair value of these outstanding forward contracts was an immaterial loss and was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and, as of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the fair value of outstanding forward contracts was an immaterial loss of $0.2 and was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The fair value of these outstanding forward contracts is estimated based on the prevailing exchange rates of the various hedged currencies as of the end of the period.

Our hedging programs are designed to reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the effect of currency exchange rate movements. We believe that the counterparties to these foreign currency forward contracts are creditworthy multinational commercial banks and that the risk of counterparty nonperformance is not material. Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate some foreign currency exchange rate risks, there can be no assurance that our hedging activities will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations, which may be more volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021, 40.0%~~2022, 38.1% of our revenue was generated outside the United States. Using sensitivity analysis, a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would decrease revenues by ~~4.0%~~3.8%, while a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would increase revenues by ~~4.0%~~3.8%. In our opinion, a substantial portion of this fluctuation would be offset by cost of ~~goods sold~~revenue and operating expenses incurred in local currency.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the

~~Table of Contents~~

Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and

Table of Contents

Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On ~~June 1, 2021,~~May 23, 2022, we acquired ~~Nordeus. Our management plans to exclude Nordeus from its assessment of and report on internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.~~Zynga. We are currently in the process of incorporating the internal controls and procedures of ~~Nordeus~~Zynga into our internal control over financial reporting for purposes of our assessment of and report on internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Inherent limitations to any system of disclosure controls and procedures include, but are not limited to, the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of such controls by one or more persons. In addition, we have designed our system of controls based on certain assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, about the likelihood of future events, and our system of controls may therefore not achieve its desired objectives under all possible future events.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Because the Zynga Acquisition has now been consummated and Zynga’s business is expected to constitute a significant portion of our business, additional significant risks may apply to the combined business as detailed in the joint proxy statement/prospectus previously filed on April 7, 2022, and incorporated by reference herein (File No. 333-263511), including the risks relating to Zynga’s business as detailed in Exhibit 99.2 of the Form 8-K previously filed on April 6, 2022, and incorporated by reference herein.
